Almost forgotten...

Grew a year older abt 2 weeks ago.- Forgotten to make a post here-.-

Too busy during that birthday week with attending Final Live on the next day of my bday; is an honor to have my bday on the first day of the Final Live!:) And not just the day, this year is a special for me as well(Talk more below>>>)

Plus it is also another char's bday; Sherlock Shellingford from Milky Holmes!

Too manly-.- [Deviantart]
Watched Milky Holmes mostly cos of the VAs and I don't regret; it brings a lot of laughers in my life while watching~ And cos of her VA, Sherry is one of my fave(though tbh, all of them r equally nice^^) 

And now, to myself:


Drew myself in Boku no Live Kimi to no Live outfit(based on Umi's~) in celebration of Final Live day 1(which I can't go b'cos of sch...) And it's not just an art but also a letter from the me now to the me in the future~(As to how much into the future... No idea...) It follows the concept of a time capsule- had always wanted to try out>8< 
It's not very well done cos I rushed it but hoping the future me would smile and think back when she looks at it(and maybe as a source of strength and support in the future~)

A little bonus:


Oh before I forgot(kept forgetting stuff nowadays...), my alpaca, Sora turned 2 this yr as well since he was bought on the day of my bday last yr:) 

If you count the number of candles, it explains y this year is a special for me as I stepped into my adulthood! Though the year shows, don't feel anything much different; just the same old me but there r times I compare myself with the past me- how much I've changed and I wonder if it's a good change or is it better I didn't change...?(May go deeper on this when I got the time to blog...)

Oh and if u can see the shirt I'm wearing, worn that to final live^^(and I'm glad I chose this as there was a no. of lovelivers wearing that~)

Once again, happy birthday to both me, Sora and Sherry!(Even though it's so late><) 
Oh and really thankful for all the messages from Deviantart- it is the first time I receive birthday greetings on that site^^ 

Trivial stuff: (random ramblings...Gng cross out; blogging to get it out...)
I don't say and I don't blame them but it's kinda saddening that my friends... Not all of them wished me... I understand and I believe it's pretty much cos they r busy and plus I was being quite a bad friend when they were planning for the other friends' bdays....Is this what they call karma...? 
I told myself not to care and take it to heart but there's still this...Empty feel when I think abt... Sigh, is this the perk of having friends? 

Took some time to blog before I forgot(haha><) A little break for myself~

This is Yaiji signing off, ja ne~

Going hiatus...

Should be obvious but gonna make it official: I'm going hiatus cos finals r coming.-Well, at least for my blog and my insta as well(gng upload a final one ltr~)
My twitter will likely be still active(my info source after all~)

With abt 2 weeks to my first paper, revision gonna be much more intense yet it's always at this time that I lost much motivation in studying-.- I believe it's much due to me working much at the start that my body's starting to feel the strain... And that strain made me lose the motivation(much explained in my monologue)
Just gt to bear with it and hav more sufficient sleep; trying hard to sleep in earlier but ended up sleeping late... Old habits r hard to change... I suppose I should be less hard on myself; allocating more rest time so that efficiency will be better^^
And it helps that most of my lectures r over which mean less need to go sch; no need to wake up earlier for the shuttle bus! Right now in a dilemma whether to come once or twice to sch b'cos of the horrible arrangement by the lecturers...(gng decide depending on the email sent to my prof...)

Away from the ramblings, work updates:

Yuuki Yuna wa yuusha de aru ru fanart proj


It was supposed to be a fanart* for Tougou's birthday but it ended up into this and thinking of making a large scale~ And for each of the Yuusha's bday, I will draw each of them; slowly filling up~ (May or may not upload on insta...) 

*I did try do a fanart for her but... I felt it's horrible-.- You see it from here: LINK(Was gonna make a pairing work with Yuna's bday work but guess it failed badly-______-)

Love Live Forever Project~

It started with this:



An idea of all of them letting the feathers go but I ended up drawing the 2nd yrs too big(><) I was just gonna leave it as it is(considering my work load...) but I felt unfair from being biased towards my fave trio so...


Decided to extend the work! And while it's 'a little' hard to draw at the extension, it was fun and fulfilling, seeing the work get bigger! And of course with the RinPana drawn, just can't leave out the others!


TA dA!!!XDDD Completed draft work(at least for this side/part~) Took a while cos work load was really bad for the past few weeks; with assignments, report, tests and assessment to prepare and do, this semester sure is tough... 

Here's a short vid: 


It's a sneak preview; gng upload that on insta:) Until I hav the time to touch-up(and maybe colour?), this is the so far progress- I may work on the other part~(Pls stay tune~)

Separate pieces:



Sorry to all Nico Fans...><(I know I can always draw her inside page 3 but the gap will be weird...) Once again, how I drew them r pretty much who I ship with~ And try guessing the outfits drawn; look's 'quite' messy(haha) If you can match the outfits with the chars I based on, thumbs-up awesome!

And over the course, love boku no live kimi to no live outfits~(esp 2nd yrs' styles~)

Trival stuff:


Much thanks for the 31 likes!!! Insta ppl, u r awesome!^^ However, I think cos of the size or something, the same cannot be said for this:


7 Likes; so much differences...Is it cos of Nico??? REALLY SRY ABT THAT(T.T)  (I think I can imagine Nico's reaction to this: "How can you disfigure Nico's beautiful face???" Sigh... Really sry abt that; just wanted to draw her nearer to Maki...(Oh and I drew Maki's outfit wrongly...) 

Other works

With how final live just ended, the love live forever proj was done to commemorate U's~ The current work, esp Random Love Live doodles series, r put on hold(haha...) Anyway, I'm a little out of ideas for that series so the LL forever proj is a good shift from the lack of muse~ 

And in addition, I doubt I can finish the aqours 2nd single fanart(besides from sch work, inspiration for this single wasn't as... Powerful as I had in the 1st single; the progress so far isn't very good...)

Final Live

Talking abt the Final Live, I went to watch the live viewing hosted in my country! 

As much I wan to talk abt it, it would be a real long and I don't hav that leisure of time as well-.- I may write one after my finals(nt sure if I would still rmb my feels...)

Aqours 2nd single


My first impression(when I watched the live nico nama yesterday) was that they sounded a bit high pitched and the song is like techno- not exactly my fave at first. And I also missed a lot while taking into the new sights of the PV(tbh, was too focused on my OTP/fave~)

As such, I've doubts buying it until I saw some comments on twitter of the 2nd yrs Love Triangle(y can't they just leave the 2nd yrs alone???) and decided to rewatch~ And slowly, loving it(to the pt I had looped for don't know how many times~) 

At first, I thought it's like wonderful rush feel till I noticed the love part... Now it is like snow halation... Is this gonna be the order?-A start-up song for first single, involving how the grp comes abt and then love song on the 2nd single-.- (Then valentine theme on 3rd again?-I'm more excited for the center instead) 

And this single really brings out first yrs' voices out~ I'm loving Yoshi-I mean Yohane's voice!(Love her solo part!) I voted for her in the Gamers' poll~

Still debating whether to buy the single; running 'a little' low on money...Sigh...

Afterwords

Nt sure if cos of the new contents, I'm starting to like Aqours much that U's don't feel as much as compared to before(ugh, my heart! Don't waver!) This is partly cos I'm excited for the full PV and the mystery behind You's dejected face at the end- is it b'cos of Riko who is close to Chika or Chika who has been her friend, is too focus on Riko?? That love triangle~

This is as much I hav~ Shall end here; I still gt sch tmr(sigh, nid wake up earlier...) Until after my finals(abt 4 weeks later~), this is Yaiji signing off!

Yaiji~
