[Update] 2 months into work life...

Had wanted to blog to vent a bit but was really busy for these few weeks; with work in the weekdays and events in the weekends...

And finally. got a bit of the time to blog a bit.

So, 2 months into working and I think working really does not suit me... B'cos work means being realistic to demands of the audience... It's never gonna be about what you want but what the people want...

You can still add in elements of your individuality inside your work but at the end of the day, the work will be prioritized to people's wants and needs; b'cos that's where money comes in... And that's the purpose of work- to earn money from people by catering to their needs and wants or else who would pay you money for your work?

As someone who prefer to do my own stuff, it's hard to adhere to this rule... Worst of all, at one point, I just lost my purpose in doing the work and feel that my work is meaningless, and question...'Just what am I doing in life...?'

I had no answer to that qns and I think I never will; unless I'm finally doing work that I want to do... ^But that's not gonna happen; as long as the rule of prioritizing audience/customers/people needs and wants is there...

For the past few weeks, I had been feeling lost, frustrated and depressed... First, the program I'm working on, has some incompatibility with another program, thus giving problems in integrating both programs... Tried my best to resolve it but alas, no fruit was bear... It became a big problem when this integration must be done and in a few weeks time...

Upon hearing this dreadful news, I panicked and felt stressed out to the point that I broke down and kinda cried everyday...

But crying isn't gonna solve the problem... After some discussions with my supervisor, I see some hope in resolving the problem since there are new methods to try...

While I am feeling a little hopeful and maybe excited to try these new methods, there is a tint of fear that what if my hope is misplaced... and since there isn't much time, I can't afford not to resolve the problem by the next week...

Sigh... For better or worse, I can only hope and gamble that this new method is the solution or at least a leeway from this situation...

And that was me being pathetic and complaining venting out^^;

A little update on my art work:

Finally, all works of [ChikaRiko 30 days challenge] are uploaded to deviantart(after a month or so); I have consolidated the works into a folder for easy viewing:)

A big thank you for all the support given!

Currently, I'm working on YohaRiko 30 days challenge. Unlike ChikaRiko's, it's just going to be me drawing when I've the time but it will still be 30 different themes of YohaRiko^^

Progress as of now is at Day 13. Most likely doing another one today so that coming October, the other half; day 15 onwards can be contributed to inktober:)

I'm hoping I can get this challenge done by the end of the year(so that I can work on other stuff~)

Next, in celebration of Riko's birthday:

^Had uploaded to deviantart 

This is a continuum to Chika's and here's a combination of both:

My current twitter profile pic~

Did something simple for my faves so as to focus on other aspects(like the colouring, etc.) And, used colouring pencils to colour than copic- easier to shade since you can control the gradient~

Lastly, I'm thinking of working on an illustration(A3 size...?) of Shoujo Kageki Revue Starlight(and maybe print on shirt or something)... The series actually started last year with the stage play(which I dk if I should buy the blu ray to watch...) The anime started this year's summer and ended this week- it was nice char intro to people whom didn't watched the stage play but are interested in this series!

^I quite like the fight scenes! And, my faves(before watching the anime) are Karen and Hikari. After watching, think I like them all; or rather I don't have any particular characters that I am into cos they all have personalities that are unique and interesting(lol)

It's kinda the same for the voice actors- they are all interesting and funny(esp Maho san and Aiba san during their midnight revue!) 

These are the art updates for now- with work at hand, art is a luxury for me(tho I do doodle while I'm bored at work, lol)

Until next time, this is Yaiji signing off!

Yaiji~
