*Something old made new.*
mon.JAN.18.10

lol wtf

For those of you who do follow me on this site you must be thinking, "She can't make up her mind!"

You just might be right.

Yes, I've redone the site again. And it's in the design that I'm most comfortable with. You could say it is one I'm in harmony with. The focus of the site will still be art, but include much more of the important things to me, like health and other areas of study.

Other things like Feng Shui, Law of Attraction and the nature of this Universe we all live in. You could say I strongly believe in the energy world and how we work with it influences our lives.

Interesting stuff.

But besides that I do have something to update about art! I haven't been making it because my laptop isn't fully functional right now. The monitor screen is all messed up so I have been unable to work on anything. So it's not all laziness on my part!

G'evening,

*Kukuku*
tues.JAN.12.10

Last post was Oct.12.2009.

Musta lost interest somewhere there.

Actually it’s this blog feature thing. It seemed like such a novel idea at the time, but now all I get is spam. *Thinks of Monty Python skit*

Plus my art drive has pretty much completely diminished into nothingness, I think I might just give this site the re-design that I’ve had in my head……since forever. You could say it was the original, the first idea I had for it [albeit with an art twist]. That said it means I’ll most likely get rid of this…..wordpress layout, go back to my dear sweet html and talk about something that has been a major focus of mine since always, but never spoke much about. Health.

I can’t say I am a health nut, but I am very interested in finding out the best health for my body and my life.

It’s been an adventure already. I’ve learned lots of things about this body that can be pretty inconveniencing, but it probably isn’t so much of an inconvenience because it just means I have to be less lazy. If I care about myself, I will be less lazy. Heck, maybe not even lazy at all!

All 2009 I spent trying that out, experimenting on myself to find out how I react. I had up and downs with getting my health in line. Stress derailing me most of the time [also the various holidays just do not help]. I am probably in the same condition as I was this time last year when I sought out to learn the truth. I know a lot more. I guess the biggest factor I gotta do is do.

2010 I had no intention of making any resolutions. My only resolve is to change my life for the better and keep it that way. I want to do what I did in 2009, doing it better. Everyday is an opportunity and those days are filled with yes and no choices. When met up with a situation one has to know which direction they want to go. Then you ask if the yes or no answer takes you closer to it.

For myself it’d be something like, “Will drinking this cup of coffee aid me in my healing?” No. It might make me feel better, or comfort me, but in the end it actually takes more away then it gives. So the answer is no.

Lucky for me I’ve pretty much given up drinking coffee. XD

Yay tea! Speaking of which………..

Until next time. And who knows, I might find time to do to this place as I’ve intended. Make it into something that is who I am.

*Life Thoughts*
mon.OCT.12.09

Still doing what I was in my last post. I’m not creating anything new. Now I don’t even think about doing anything art. I don’t know if I’d call it an art rut, I simply have no inspiration to create. Anything fan related and even my own “Reign” project just doesn’t do it for me anymore. Hah, I haven’t even tried sketching so I couldn’t tell you how my skill is. Probably still awesome lol.

I will admit my focus has been on other areas of my life. The energy is being directed there as opposed to my artistic endeavours. Areas involving spiritual development and personal growth/personality growth. It takes a lot of energy out of me. Like recently I read a book by Sasha Xarrian, Outrageous Mastery. It was a fascinating story, and has gotten me back on the positive mental level. I was getting a little distraught and it was exactly what I needed at the time. I was hoping it might be the missing piece I have been searching for that gives me full control of myself and my life, but I think I still have fears I need to heal. But this book has giving me a key as to what those lingering oppressive fears may be.

For example.

The book is filled with many concepts and the major concept that jumped out at me was how your biggest fear is the ones that will come true. When I read that I had to think long and hard just what my biggest fear was. Honestly it didn’t come to me very quickly, but I have pretty much settled that my biggest fear in life is being alone/loneliness. And you know what I have also found? That my life is filled mostly with being alone and loneliness. I am actually living my own worst fear on a day-to-day basis.

And as I understand the workings of LoA, that fear reason also becomes an explanation for the events that have occurred in my life. The reason as to why certain things became as they are now. That fear attracted it all into my life to create more of that fear.

I am in a better position from reading that book. Now I know my fear, I know I have been living with it and I can survive it. Unfortunately that hasn’t eliminated it from my life. I am on the search for a way to completely release that fear so I can start living life with others.

I’m gonna go read that book again.

G’day,

*Oh noes*
mon.AUG.31.09

Haven’t made any arts lately. Been so busy with life I just haven’t felt like sitting down and drawing/painting anything. I’m actually at a point where I marvel at the fact that I am/was an artist. Hahaha, if I ever get my muse again it’s gonna be rusty.

But life is good. I like…..maybe even love [only a bit] my job. It’s never dull, days go by quickly [for the most part] and some days I look forward to it. My days at home kind of pale in comparison to it now. At home I’ve got almost nothing to do.

No, that’s not entirely true. I did get my new N64 and Majora’s Mask. However that game is not as enjoyable as I hoped [so far]. I’m stuck at a part, and the whole time aspect is such a pain. It’s cool, creative, but still, it’s irrigating me! Agriculturally speaking of course. lol

I don’t want to cheat, I don’t like to cheat and read walk throughs, but I just might have to if I don’t get somewhere with that game soon. Like tonight. Maybe Sept will be a good month to me art wise. Maybe I’ll put something up. Heck, I have tons of sketches lying around. Perhaps I oughta start adding that kind of stuff. Hahaha that reminds me, I do have an area of my site that needs updating. Urk.

Well, this post was mostly to state I am indeed alive. I am well. Hope everyone is doing good. Good luck to all the students heading into a new school year!

G’day,

- Ren

I need to eat something. The refrigerator is literally bare. I could eat some ketchup…….no, mustard! YEAH.

-_-

Tonight I am buying some food.



*Some new art*
sun.JULY.26.09



I made it last night. :D

Was a sketch I had laying around for a long while. In boredom I decided to ink it. I might colour it at a later time.

It’s actually a joke piece. I don’t like the way most female characters are portrayed in popular comics. They’re just so fake.

This is the Captain under-going that same “Sexification”.

….

I want food.

G’day,

*Journal now online*
fri.JULY.24.09

Welcome!

I am happy to share with you my new and improved journal! Actually it is a blog, but I don’t like that word. Makes me think of clogs, which I also don’t like. Ahahaha.

Sooooo, to avoid all that I’m just gonna call it my journal. The best part, now you can reply to my……..rants? Rambles? Musings? Well whatever pet name you have for it, you can finally reply to it. This will be the area where I’ll be discussing things. From my art to my spiritual endeavours. That way you are even more up-to-date about what’s been added, changed or worked on. Fun fun!

A Word about Word More like Wordpress. When I signed up with this particular webhost, I got this Wordpress thing along with it. I wasn’t sure what it was, but I later figured out it had something to do with blogging. On numerous attempts I tried to skin it, but it was really frustrating and I never got the hang of it. I didn’t really wanna use it if I couldn’t customize it.

But because of feelings I’ve been developing of deviantART, I was inspired to try it again, and this time I was able to fashion a Wordpress style with my site style. It took me a couple days, but it should work now!

The Future

What’s in store for me now in the future? Food! Ahahaha. I think I have to mention food at least once in each post. With that I am going to go get some food. You guys take it easy too. ^_^

G’day,

- Ren



*Major site addition finalized!*
sun.JULY.15.09

It has been done.

If you would like to see my journal/blog please visit it here >>> Ren's Journal

I've also added a journal link up with the rest of the links.

The journal will be where I will post the writing I normally do here. You know the complaining and all that. lol. Nawwww. Hahahahaha ah that sounds bad.

This space will be used for art updates. Like when I add something new to the site or anything to do with art specifically. Unless it's an art rant, then that's going into the journal.

I've not much else to say other then I hope to hear from you who have been watching me all this time. May this be a step up for this site.

G'evening,

*Something new in the works*
sun.JULY.12.09

Rawr. As the title suggests I've been working on something new. Nothing artistic, I haven't really sat down and done anything lately. No, today I sat down and spent most of my time in code.

What will be the results of my efforts?

Well if it all works out, you'll actually be able to tell me.

Hahahaha if I say anymore then I've said it all. Please wait until the next site update for this new implementation!

It should make this place at least, five more awesome. Yes five. I don't know five what, but it'll be five! XD

I'm being silly. I think that is my cue to be quiet now.

G'nite,

- Ren

PS - I hope you find that "updated" message at the top helpful!



*Apology*
tues.JULY.07.09

I'm going to apologize for that last post. I'm not even going to add it to the archives it was so bad.

I'm sorry to anyone who read that. I see it now as a broken belief system that went out of control. The negativity it spewed forth was disastrous, hazardous. And it didn't do much to make me feel better.

IT WAS TOXIC.

So again my deepest apologies to you and to myself.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Besides that, in case you have not yet seen, here is a little something I've been working on. Well worked on.


It's from that new section I have activated over in the Reign half called Everyday Earth. I'm still mawing over whether to post it on dA or not. Like, submit the whole page or a just a panel then have people come here? Do many people know I have a site? lol Do they know that I actually update a little more frequently? Maybe doing it by panel would let them know. Hmmmmmmmm lol.

I'm gonna leave this post off here. Thank you everyone!

G'day,

- Ren

PS - Happy Birthday Dad!

I know I've made promises I've yet to keep,
Please forgive me for I've been weak.
Thank you for everything you have done,
Because you're the one who's helped me get strong.

- Love your daughter.




*Flip-flop-flip-flop-flip-flop-flip-flop*
wed.JUNE.24.09


Perhaps I need someone to put me out of my misery.

I am going to say here and now that I do not know how I want to do this comic story thing. Just when I think doing it in flash would be too long tedious and closer to impossible, I think it's better then doing it in comic.

So now I'm pulling out my hair at my frustration. I thought on numerous occasions that I had fully decided how I wanted to do it, and yet the flip-flopping continues.

It's wearing me down. All I want to do is make this story. A story that I hope for the best, but feel like its reception will be......mehhhhh.....

dA isn't a very good place to gauge how well things will turn out either. Fanart is the prevailing thing. My original work gets ignored at best....or so it feels. Le sigh. My motivation for it is zilch and there isn't any encouragement.....must cheer up.......does anyone even look here? *Think positive thoughts*

G'nite,

- Ren



*Gulp*
mon.JUNE.15.09

Crap.

I wanted to be done by today. The last week went by like a shot and work was so insane I didn't focus on my art like I wanted to.

I don't know when I'll get to finish it. My attitude about it kind of sucks right now too. I'm not happy with my style. It's like it's not pretty or interesting enough to do this project justice. I like my style otherwise, it just feels inappropriate for this undertaking. Le sigh.

I guess it's that artist angst. I haven't had that for awhile......a long while.

I'll keep working on it.

G'nite,

- Ren



*Two Years + Stuff*
mon.JUNE.08.09

June.02 is this sites two year anniversary. In usual form I forgot, and here I am belated. lmao. Thank you everyone who looks at my stuff and even read my rambles here. May there many more years of this. :)

I remember way back when, when I couldn't decide if I wanted a site or not, pondered how I could get one, how to design it.......it feels so long ago. I've put a lot of work into here too, but at times it doesn't feel like it.

I think to fix that I gotta add more arts! I know I have some.

Speaking of art, ya know how I said June.15th I wanted to have chapter.01 done? Well I have been working on it. :D I have completely finished...five pages. Otherwise I've done all the drafting of the panels for the first 20 pages, now I just gotta flesh em out.

I'd like to work on the comic more tonight, but I worked on it three hours straight and I need a rest. Hahaha. Hmmm......this week is also gonna be crazy at my work so I have no idea when I'll have a really good chance to sit down and work on it again like this. Maybe I'll have to start sketching on my breaks at work. Oh boy.

Now.........I'm going to bed. XD

G'nite,

- Ren



*Busy busy busy*
fri.MAY.29.09

Y halo there people! Yes, you people who look at this site.......whoever you may be. lol Thank you for doing that. The site has hit the ever ermm.........whatever 666 hits! Cool! Shouldn't be long until........50,000 right? I kid.

So anyway, I've been very busy lately. Working and sleeping. Art is stuffed in between all that.

I'll say a little bit about the work. I got hired as a temp, then I guess two weeks ago I got hired on full time and really leveled up to a team lead position. It was major stress, I was dumped in there with no training, in the middle of a store renovation and with managers changing. It was bad timing. I was close to cracking, but now things have gotten stable. It'll be interesting to see where this all goes! I hope it involves me evolving into a better stronger me. I like to say my true self. Yay!

Now art. It's been mostly fanart stuff, which isn't what I wanted, but it's fun. I've yet to do stuff for Reign. I'm having a hard time getting started on it actually. I'm not so sure I want to go with the episode format. It's...........perhaps too labour intensive. I might never get the project finished if I do that. I think I'll attempt it comic style and have little episode clips here and there is something really stands out to me.

But right now that's all just a lot of talk. What I am going to aim for, is use my off time wisely to get through art stuff. I will make Chapter 01 of Reign. I oughta make a due date to really give myself something to strive for.........now when's a good time........

June.15. There I just chose that as the due date for Chapter.01!

Whoa I just had a sense of purpose wash over me. Weird.

Alrighty then, I babbled on more then I intended, but now you know what the Ren is up to. =P. I believe I will go do some relaxing arts before bed.

G'nite,

- Ren

PS - Oh and here is a little treat. I didn't update this one on my deviant page yet, so you get to see it here first! It is a remixed version of "Intent to Kill". I wasn't fully happy with it so I did some more tinkering. The outcome is this:





*Still Alive*
sun.APR.05.09

*snorts* Still Alive, that song is brilliant. lol

Ahem.

I am happy to announce I have come out of that art coma. It took some time now didn't it? But now I am ready and inspired to work on art again. My focus is on Reign and that's good. That section of the site is pretty bare and fanart just isn't appealing to me right now. So expect all updates to be over there. :D

I've started with some things, like made the main Reign page as I like. Now to work on its sub-sections and get material put in them. Technically I am finished Episode 001, but I'm having it reviewed by pals before posting it up. It'll make its debut soon! Though due to the fact it was so intensive to do I was going to drop it. However, I really like the animated manga style of it. So..............it looks like I'll get started to work on Episode 002. I hope you guys will enjoy it!

How many episodes are their going to be? I have no idea! The story of Reign is a long one and I'll do my best to do it justice. There will be at least.......two. lmao. I'm just teasing. Each Ep won't be longer then three minutes each so there is going to be a lot of them. Let's not worry about that though, I don't want to look at this mountain I have to climb. I'll start with the first step. ^_^

Otherwise.......oh yeah, I'm going to be adding more art to this site. I had a lot of work on dA that I didn't transfer to here, but I started to think what would happen if dA just went away. Plus I'm not as interested in dA as I used to be so I'm going to try and place all my work here. Wish me luck. lol

I'll go do that. Yep.



G'day,

- Ren




*Happy 500*
wed.FEB.04.09

w00t this site has reached a 500 hit combo! *snickers*

Yeah I know, that's not really all that much, but it makes me happy knowing that people are visiting and looking. Thank you!

Now........I'm not sure if this is an art block, but I have no interest in doing art. Like I just have had no desire to sit down and do anything artwise. [needless to say I have no updates to do either :/ ] I can't think of any reason what would have started this, and I have no reason to be emo about my work, it's very strange. I think it could be due in part that I have nothing really truly inspiring to work on. Inspiration is that amazing thing that drives you to complete a work and in this case even get started.

I'm not going to worry about it. I'm not going to force anything. I'll let it play through it's cycle or whatever it may be.

With that ----- I'm going to go eat some ham and cabbage. XD

G'day,

- Ren




*Updating is a lot of work*
mon.JAN.19.09

It really is, especially when I have to do it all in html, page by page, hyperlink to hyperlink. Though I do get some kind of satisfaction doing it that way, regardless of how many code errors I make. I will error! I will enjoy it! Rawr. Anyone else have that feeling? Kind of a good feeling really.............error.............what am I talking about? No clue. Haha oh don't mind me. I had a doughnut earlier and I haven't had one of those in a long while and it's quite sensational. I don't know how to handle it!

.........with that rambling aside, I am completely done that piece I was eluding to in the previous post. Now I can post it up! Perhaps I'll edit this post later and add it [if it's within size limitations of course]. Bet you'd like to see that eh? :D

I think I'm going to make that update attempt. See how much I get done. Gogogogogogogogogogogogo!!!!

*UPDATE: I got some stuff done! Here's that painting I keep going on about. Hahaha.


Click image to see commentary


I also updated the Gift Arts
Created the Reign Artworks
Added new Original Digital Art
Lastly, a couple Sculpey things

So this wasn't a small update! Hope it's a good one! :]

G'day,

- Ren




*Happy New Year*
sun.JAN.04.09

Hey look! I'm doing better this year already. It's not an update on New Years, but it's close. I mean I've been busy so so.......yeah! Hope you all have a good one! It's nice being Jan, it'll be my birthday in......21 days. Whoa three weeks! :D

Anyway, if you wonder what I've been keeping myself busy with [if anyone even reads this] it's another big scale painting project, much like that Health Hazard I did of Mayuri. The happy news is the project is almost complete. I've been doing loads of work on it and am going to try to keep it the base standard for anything I produce this year.

That is something I decided a while ago and am carrying over into the new year. That I am capable of doing more with my art, I just can't allow myself to cop out and go for the fast and easy way. I have to take my time if I want to make something people are remotely interested in. So that is why I'm setting up this standard. It'll probably mean less art from me, but if it's well done then it's worth the wait right?

I have to update this place with more arts that I haven't added..........I have a whole whack of things to do. I need to finish designing the Reign section of this site........lots and lots to do.

Now that I've remembered this place it'll probably mean another update. I'll make sure to do that this month.

G'day,

- Ren



*Now that was a jinx*
thur.DEC.11.08

Oh yeah, how'd you like that? XD I think that was one of the more effective jinxes I've used on myself.

Frequent update =/= a month later................owwwww

But to defend myself I have been keeping busy in that time. I've made lots of art stuffs. Little Sculpey things, art trades and requests and......oh yeah -

I've been working on Episode one of Reign. It's coming a long. I still have much to do on it and my laptop hasn't been cooperating with me lately [lag!], but hopefully I'll have something to post before the new year. Ah who am I kidding, it'll probably be done in Jan..... As much as I'd like to have audio in it, I can't see it working for me right now. I don't have a mic and I am not going to do a voice over for every character. Most of them are men! Well.....male anyway. =P Hope soundless flashes aren't too harsh or boring! Maybe I'll find some music to stick in it so it won't be so hard.

I also have some other Reign related things to work on. With all the other engagements out of the way lets hope I can start making some real progress there!

With that I'll probably go try to do something with it. ANYTHING! XD

Enjoy!

G'day,

- Ren



*Christmas is coming!!!!!!!*
sun. NOV.09.08



Oh snap I'm updating frequently, what's happening!?!?!


I'm starting to take pride in my site a bit more. I may have more on my deviantART, but this site is all mine! lol I'm just realizing that.

Flash section is updated with thumbnails! Now that page looks a lot less barren. I'm feeling like I need to make more movies, and that is more movies with sounds. Oh yeah. Flashkit.com here I come. XD They will probably end up being silly.

I have also done up the Gift Art section. Now you can see some different artists and styles, I really love looking these over. So pwetty.

Yeh! That's it for now. More art will come later!

Enjoy!

G'day,

- Ren



*Added New Stuff*
thur. NOV.06.08

Art stuff added

I was in bit of a bad mood today, so I decided to get lost in code. It really helped. Not only did it distract me......now I'm just out of it. XD

What I did accomplish is I added a bunch of new art to the digital gallery as well as got the Flash section up and running! I still need to make appropriate thumbnails for those movies, that'll come next update.

I still don't have anything to add to the Reign comic section. I've been working hard on making episode one and it's been taking up a lot of time. I can probably update the gift section. What that is, is art people have made for me. [It's also free promotion for those artists, so yay! ] Yeah, I can do that. Next update!

Okay, I've not much else to say. Here are a sample of some of the stuff I put up [probably already seen on dA if you go there]



Enjoy!

G'day,

- Ren



*Even Bigger Site Update like Whoa*
wed. OCT.29.08

I couldn't help myself

I know I just recently put up some site updates, but overall I was still displeased with the design of the site overall.

So I seriously sat down and re-designed it. I'm a lot more happy with it now. I had to sacrifice a lot of cute stuff I had around, but maybe I'll stick those in somewhere yet.

The links are a lot cleaner up there, and I have things a lot more organized. I've also got an area for my story "Reign" in progress. It'll be some time before I have much of anything to put in there mind you.

Now I've got the site re-designed I can focus on some art request things I have to do. I think I have........three.....no four things. At least I'm not under commission feeling all guilty anymore. XD

I actually need to update the art on here again. I'll do that in the next big update. So until then -

Enjoy!

G'day,

- Ren



*Site Update*
wed. OCT.01.08

OMG

I have finally gotten around to the site update.

I've put in a snazzy flash banner as well as drop down menu, and did a big overhaul of the galleries, so now each image has it's own page to sit on so to speak. I still have to add more of my recent art [gah that takes forever], but I have updated the galleries with stuff.

Hmm...

I don't have much else to say, so I'll be off looking for bugs in all this. If you come across a broken link, give me a shout! I want this thing to work. =P

Enjoy!

G'day,

- Ren



*Doing the happy dance*
sat. AUG.30.08

Wooooooo!

lols, I actually meant to update this much much sooner then now, but I remembered now, so yeah.

I am happy because that previous art issue has been thus resolved in its entirety. I know the why's and the hows. What is strange that there never was a "block" so to speak. Just procrastination actually. XD

The important thing was to find out why I was procrastinating. The first cause, I don't like to start an art project then get interrupted. It's possible the process of leaving my work while I'm inspired is so painful [in a mental sense of course] that I am reluctant to get started at all. It makes sense since my house is pretty crazy a lot of the time and interruption is inevitable.

The other cause was subject matter. Turns out that isn't a deterrent at all. I'm quite happy trying new characters, and styles. So thinking I wasn't excited to get into a project didn't make sense. Why still put it off?

I did some thinking on all this. Then I got into my groove again. =D

The plan

To do this, I got a routine. Unfortunately it cuts into my sleep time a bit, but I'm still tweaking it. At night things start to quiet down around here so I finally get good alone time to work. Knowing I won't have to leave while in the middle of it makes a huge difference. I also stay in my room with my laptop so I don't have to do to much traveling. If I want to go to sleep it doesn't take much. Considering all this, maybe all my art muse needs is comfort and nurturing.

With all that, now I can get back to work! I have lots of ideas to work on and have been starting. I've practically eliminated my queue [will post soon] and and.....it's just a good feeling over here.

The last thing I can say, the dynamics of my home will be changing so it will become more quiet and I'll be able to get a good work/sleep schedule going. I'll have to see how that goes.

Woooooooooooo!

G'day,

- Ren



*Okay, I dunno what I'm doing XD*
sun. JULY.13.08

lol. I found my art muse then promptly lost it. Le sigh.

I'm going to have to start exploring other means to become inspired to do art stuff. Sure people will tell you music, or look at other people's art. Up till now those methods haven't worked for me. I'm going to have to really look at some abstract thinking methods to overcome this hurdle I've placed in front of myself. Heh, maybe I am the hurdle. I know I've foiled many of my own plans! Yarr.

Really, I'm thinking I'm going to have to expand on what I do even more. I know I already take on a lot of things, but maybe I'm just going to have to start approaching anything. Mundane stuff like still lifes to free form painting. I feel like I've lost my creativity and have become reliant on another pre-formed source to apply my short supply of creativity to. Fanart has always been a huge aspect of my art, I don't take the risk of creating something entirely new. Guess it's that comfort zone of knowing people will like the same ol, and original characters/worlds/storyline tend to get overlooked as a dime-a-dozen.

I think I've started to convince myself to be a little more courageous and bring new stuff to the table. Hell my fanart to original art ratio is completely out of whack. Must rectify! I'm going to have to go ponder this for a while.

Heh, it's as they say, you have to know the problem to start thinking of how to solve it [or something to that effect =P]

G'day,

- Ren



*I am not dead*
wed. JUNE.25.08

Y halo thar peoples. Yes, I am not dead, I've been taking a break away from dA and the internets in general. I've been enjoying myself by working on commissions and getting into other art projects. I feel like my art muse has returned to me.

Sweet.

I've also been doing site updates, however they aren't accessible at this time. I've decided to stick with the dark site simply because art looks better against a dark background. I made some other changes as well......I'll reveal the new site once I get all my commissions and requests out of the way. Kind of a tie-up-loose-ends idea. If I'm lucky it'll be more functional and be useful to people too! Here's to hoping.

I best get going now. The Sculpey has finished baking. Nyum nyum. *Note - Sculpey is not for eating XD*

*Big Changes*
sat. MAY.10.08

I have reached a point in my life where there is that inevitable change. In the month previous I lost both my grandmothers. I wasn't devastated because ultimately they were released from pain and suffering, but now I just try to grasp the idea and I keep thinking it's all too surreal. It's also been stressing my mind, so I haven't been keeping with my art or much of anything at this time. I hope that soon I can fully recover myself and find the desire to do things again.

I actually do have a lot of art that I have been keeping on my art account over at deviantART. I've been too distracted to transfer things over here. In due time! I have finished sculptures and lots of digital work. Heh. I'll get that up soon.

Ah well, in the meantime I suppose I'll just........continue to overhaul this place. I was going to do a complete design change, but have since changed my mind. Though I am thinking of making this with a light colour scheme. I've gotten out of my dark phase [thank goodness] I need that to show on my site, which is practically an extension of myself. Or something philosophical something or other. Hahahaha.

Love & Peace

*Happy New Year & Stuff*
sat. FEB.02.08

Hahahahahha..........Happy New Year.......even though that is a month ago. Yep, I'm on schedule.

Oh this is exciting, this site got a 100 hit combo. XD

-_-

I do have some new stuff to put up here. I sure know I have to update a bunch of things. Not much to do with a site like this is there? =P

I think I know what I really should do. There's that story "Rein" I have in the making, I could make this a base site for it. Bah I gotta get off my ass and actually do art and things for it. It's pretty bad that the beginning of the story bores me. It's not that it's boring, I just like the way things are near the middle to the end of it. Hmm.......

Must get......motivation.......gah. Okay, I'm going to stop this rambling. I felt I needed to update this so it appears to still be alive, but this isn't doing it justice. >_<

Outta here



*Commissions Closed*
sat. NOV.24.07

Yeah, I'm closing it down. For sculpture work anyway. Some things weren't working out.

However, I am going to be setting up a shop off site and will probably be selling some of the sculptures you see in my gallery [so many to choose from =P]. You never know though, someone might want a Cid statue since there doesn't seem to be one in existence [thanks Square].

That'll be soon.

Onto something else, I have some new artwork. :)





*Yawns*
sun. OCT.14.07

Nothing much happening around here. I've been busy with work a lot of the time, but I do have a sculpture in the works. I want to make it "epic" so.........I probably won't be finished it until the next year. I figure I might as well give myself a lot of time so I'm not rushing.

Oh and recently on my deviantART account I had a 10k kiriban. I made some artwork for the ones who caught the wonderful number. Thank you, you awesome people!

Here's the artwork :D



*What's New* - Ren's Junk is what!
mon. SEPT.10.07

w00t I have a website! It's not really one of those interactive user/member type of sites, but maybe it will be in the future.

For now I'm dedicating it to my art, and.........commissions.

Yes, Ren is open for commissions.

After a lot of thinking it through, I am going to give it a shot. I think it will help me come to appreciate my art more and be able to give to those who like it. It seems like a good thing to do.

I know I'll be more then happy to work on something for ya.

Oh and I don't call it Ren's Junk because I think my art is junk. I wanted to use a word that was different then art and stuff. Junk is what came to mind. I might come up with something different later. But for now......=P

Take a look around. :D
