[Updates] School Started...

Decided to update my last post before things get busy^^;

So, school started last week which was just the lecture week.
The true start would be next week when there will be both lectures and tutorials- this is where things are gonna be busy and even more when assignments, reports, quizzes and presentations come in...
In addition, there is also my final year project that I am working on since last semester...

Even so, due to most of the compulsory modules cleared in my previous years, I actually have free days(\yay/)
However, that said, those free days could easily be occupied when needed to go school to work on my project(I'm hoping this is the last resort, considering the distance and time from my house to school-.- Singapore may be small but going from the north to east still takes a while, esp with how the train system is recently...Miss the old days...)

And so, a little update on my art projects:

Random LL Doodles

I have decided to stop the series b'cos of the loss of motivation + inspiration and uploaded the rest of the works done. They are all manga works to give more details to the characters; I have planned for all but only did for the 2nd years, NozoEli and PanaRin...

It is part of the reasons why I did not upload the works until now; I wanted to finish all before uploading but since I'm stopping this series...   

You can see all works from my Deviantart account; HERE.(Please read the description to enjoy the manga works:)
I will upload to pixiv once I do a cover art for it!

FYI: At first, it was just to practise some postures I found online and maybe due to a spur of motivation, it developed into this series, thus the randomness; the role that each character take was depending on the posture that I drew.
In other words, posture was drawn first before fitting the role^^;
And despite that, I was able to expand, think and make one-shot manga of the characters' intereactions~
If not for the lack of motivation, I would have loved to at least draw one one-shot manga for all characters to show a bit of their interactions...

Next up would be a new au I started like last year's July(I know this is like irony of me; starting a new au when I has a currently-in-progress series, aka random LL doodles... This is just how my muse is; it comes and goes, esp when a work is prolonged for too long...)

Fate X Love Live 

This is a crossover between Fate series and Love Live or rather Love Live members in Fate Series au.

A little background: Fate series au is one where 7 humans* as Masters will summon one historical figures/legend, know as Servant each to particpate in a battle royale called Holy Grail war. The winner is said to be able to have any wish granted, by the Holy Grail(hence the name).       
*Normally, the master candidates are magicans since the servants require mana to stay and fight(with the exception of Caster Master)

This au is basically a battle royale with u's and aqours members as both Masters and Servants!
The Master-Servant pairs are thought of as ships that I shipped back in LLSS season 1; there are changes due to season 2 but not accounting that factor into this~

I have uploaded the works in pixiv; HERE and will be uploading onto Deviantart, each work a day for next week:)

And here's video of the compilation I did:

^music used: 清廉なるHeretics feat. DracoVirgo(theme song of fgo eor 4- recommend to listen~)

What's next?

I may expand Fate x Love Live(but highly unlikely to...)

I'm thinking of uploading some of my inktober 2017 works onto deviantart which I said I want to but due to school, I forgot about it^^; And during that Inktober event, I actually started a random au. It was inspired a little from Athyra's Love Live x Harry Potter au(do give it a read:)
I may expand further~

Otherwise(of the above), I may just stick to random doodles~

Truth to be said, I'm not even sure if I have the time to draw so fingers crossed...

Afterwards

This is as much as I like to update(and I actually spent an hour blogging-.- RIP my studying time...)

As always, I won't be here often; much active on twitter and instagram~ 

This is Yaiji signing off(tomorrow's gonna be a long day...)

Yaiji~

Starting the new year with a bang(from release of result)

Happy New Year!

It's been a long while and to think I forgot to update before 2018 comes-.-

^Lately, things had been quite fast-paced that before I knew it, it's 2018^^;

Let's just say, my break after my exams wasn't like a break- I had work to do for my final year project that there were times I needed to go back school...

Also cos my exams ended much later as compared to previous years, the break feels slightly shorter...?(Although school's starting later as well; got another week of 'freedom'~)

That said, I enjoyed my break; doing some of my hobbies like drawing and gunpla building:) And going out and having fun with my family!

Where to start...? Tbh, I haven't been updating my blog cos I had no idea what to talk about; too many to touch on since my last post...

I guess I can start with my 2018 new year resolution? Well, I haven't really thought over it but since in a few more months I will be graduating, I suppose landing onto a 'nice' job will be the top priority.

'Nice' job will be one with:

• Good pay...
• Good work life balance(wouldn't want too many OTs but if it can't be helped then...)
• (If possible) travelling time to work place isn't too long(lately transport hasn't been reliable...)

However, I suppose the most important is working in a job that I like; preferably in software engineering...?- Not sure how it will be like but over the 4 years in uni, I grew to like programming a bit(tho it can be frustrating as well...)

While talking about this, there is a constant fear of stepping into the working world... I would say going through internship is like a interude to working & I must say though it was a nice experience, I doubt I can last long...

There is this pressure of expectation for result from the higher-ups which is expected but in the field of engineering is hard cos it can be unpredictable... And if you can't meet that expectation, guess it's out of the job, huh?

Sigh, that unknown is what I fear should I start working. For now, need to find job first before I can even fear that fear... 

Moving on, let's talk about my art projects...

Currently, I'm working on a small crossover between fate series and love live. All pairs are already done; you can see from #fatexlovelive in Instagram.

1. HonoUmi; Honoka as Master, Umi as Servant Archer
2. ChikaRiko; Chika as Master, Riko as Servant Saber
3. NozoEli; Nozomi as Master, Eli as Servant Lancer
4. KanaMari; Kanan as Master, Mari as Servant Rider
5. NicoMaki; Nico as Master, Maki as Servant Assassin
6. Youshiko; You as Master, Yosh-Yohane as Servant Caster
7. PanaRin; Hanayo as Master, Rin as Servant Berserker
8. RubyMaru; Ruby as Master, Hanamaru as Servant Alter-ego

^RubyMaru pair is a special one; Hanamaru was meant to be the polar opposite of Rin yet also similar(given how the anime had protrayed:)

I am still thinking of how to fit in Dia and Kotori(high chance of Dia as Ruler and Kotori as a passer-by that got caught into all these; much like Sieg in Apocrypha)

Besides this, for the random doodles x love live, I will either put on hold or just halt the project & upload whatever I had done so far- lost my motivation I had before(that's what you get for putting the project off for a long time...)

I think that should be all the current art projects I have at hand... Hopefully, I can finish fatexlovelive before school starts- Don't think I want to put another project on hold again...(And maybe start a new series or continue some existing ideas...o.o)

Oh and I'm currently debating whether to drawing bday fanarts for all LL babies...

Maybe cos LLSS s2 ended a few days ago, I feel a slight disconnection with LL series... Though a movie is confirmed, there is this... empty feel(and I've been holding off, watching the last ep with subs; can't bear for it to end but...) It was a 'nice' end of year present from LL...

People always say, draw what you want to draw and not draw for the sake of drawing- guess it's never good to 'force' myself over drawing, haha^^;

Lastly, today is the release of my result from last semester- nothing fantastic; average pass and guess after 3.5 years of studies, more or less expected the outcome... Tbh, I was a little worried for a particular module cos I did badly for the exam but instead, surprisingly, it was another module that I did bad(and the one I was worried wasn't too bad)
What's done is done and now onto my final semester of my uni education!

PS: I may be updating less on blog(esp when sch starts)

I am more active on twitter and instagram:)

Until next time, this is Yaiji signing off!

Yaiji~
