Japanese Curry Rice

Hello.


This blog still lives. I'm just too lazy for my own good.

That's it. A reminder. Damn, I'm already tired.


Until the next productive and interesting entry! :D

Stew of Shame with some fries of Blame and with Slackery for Dessert

HI!

omg! it lives! this blog still lives modafocas! An entire year without saying a thing! some record of mine! Oh you guys didn't know? I entered on a challenge called " How long will I not touch my blog", and I think I suceeded! :D

OK, enough. I know, I know.... damn... 2014! Where was I? Roaring, according to my last entry...

I did roar, but not on this blog, shamelessly. After an epic last entry, I shoulda...woulda...coulda... BAH.

2014 was a transition year, and a good one and did compensate the last one, I will highlight some stuff (I'll try D: )

- I did many more illustrations than I usually do in a year.

- I've finally moved out from my parents house FOR GOOD. 

- I started freelancing for realsies. 

- I got into another game studio.

- I fuckin' have a house of my own. FUCKING FINALLY.

- I've made many more new fans and friends.

- Everyone now wants a piece of me. 

Some remarkable 2014 marks that still warm my heart:

At the beginning of this year, I entered a challenge called "Disney Pin-up girls" in the ImagineFX Forum. I entered just for fun since it wasn't an official challenge they used to make, and because of the idea of having Rapunzel hanging somewhere without clothes.

I have won the challenge (winning streak :P). The ImagineFX magazine publisher somehow noticed my work and he wanted to publish it in the magazine... You know, the digital art magazine that every professional artist purchases (well, almost every artist, professional and amateur like me). THEY INVITED ME TO PUBLISH MY WORK ON THEIR MAGAZINE. It's not like I asked them to display my portfolio there ( they often display some portfolios in the magazine). I also got invited to display it though :P but I felt that my portfolio wasn't strong enough, so I declined... I DECLINED THEIR INVITATION. Maybe some day, who knows ;_; It was very memorable for me. This was one of the reason why I've started freelancing officially.

Here's some 2014 stuff:

 Believe me, I did sooooooo much more.  I just can't upload it yet because of some copyright issues.

Oh and I've moved out from my parents' home, for real ( not like the other times), I've started to live in the capital. Long story short, I've started on a freelance job that required me to live in Lisbon. So yeah... the rest is history ( I was supposed to talk about how I started to live in Lisbon, but things got out of hand in the beginning and I prefer not to ruin my beautiful art blog with sad and angry stuff).

And I also started working on a game studio! YAAAAAAAAAAY--

NO. DON'T BE HAPPY. DO NOT CELEBRATE FOR ME. It's the worst place I've ever worked. EVER. And believe me, I've worked in many places. BUT THAT... picture this... that job makes me think that prostituition maybe isn't bad at all. And I abhorr prostituition. The only positive thing that I could get off that, is that I was able to make some friendships and new fans, and that led me to more freelance jobs. At least there's that... 

My goal in 2015 is to have a kickass portfolio. So the transition year of 2014 still goes on in 2015. I need to get better. I'm still aiming for Wizards of the Coast. And I swear that I will continue working until I get ONE illustration of mine on Magic the Gathering cards.

One of the reasons I stopped blogging is because I activated my facebook account again. Yeah... Facebook. The best tool for procrastination alright. I wanted to deactivate it again, but I won't do it because I follow so many artists that I admire... Besides that, I really don't have any reason at all to have such toxic social media like Facebook.

So many things happened in 2014... I did my best to resume the entire year. It could have been avoided if I didn't slack around last year so... yeah:

Cheers!
