HELLO GUYS!
I guess I've been inactive for a while huh xD well that's all to blame on life and me not being financial secure/stable and toxic families and all that jazz
(shhhh I know my lame self is also to blame for disappearing from this art community, but I gotta lie to myself a little more, stay with me here)

I'm obsessed with Voltron: Legendary Defender now, so all the art to come will be very voltron-y and angsty, you've been warned :P

YES I AM ABOUT TO UPDATE THIS GALLERY WOW HOLY CRAB RIGHT *the sarcasm is strong in me, so sorry, really, deeply sorry*

:bulletpink: but if you want to see what I've been up to these past 2 years of dA inactivity, you can always follow or just check out my art on Tumblr: eleedoesart.tumblr.com/

In other news: a "modern comics and how to make your own fanzine from scratch" seminar is up in my city next week and I just got in (admission free!! thanks to a good friend who knows important people in the greek comic industry
THIS ESSENTIALLY MEANS I'll be able to learn and be taught by two top teaching artists and possible gain some more knowledge on how to make my very first proper fanzine!
..
....which will be strictly R18 btw.
....and possibly, surely, undoubtedly, very kinky xD
Aaaand which I'll be selling at my table on the cons around here. I'M EXCITED! AND SHOOK! TOTALLY NOT READY TO GO PRO!! HAHAHAHA (seriously not ready to go pro with the art business and all, but certainly have a lot of spirit and inspiration to go around so that's a good start huh)

Hello lovelies!:wave:

I hope you've been doing awesome as a firecracracker! I'm doing okay I guess...!^^;
My current "thorn" or "pain-in-the-butt" is my final essay, which is a final 40k word essay/project where I have to translate 30 pages of Turkish literature and have a twenty-something commentary on the author and content of original book. :faint:
Well, at least it's about feminism and the actual first feminist moves in Eastern Europe and Turkey in the early 20th century, so I'll have lots and lots to rumble about in the commentary, hahahahaa!:D

In other news, I'm doing voluntary work in my city's Library, I'm working in the "kids' lobby" with a couple of other wonderful people, including a professional artist with flamey red hair:)
We're doing crafts, colouring, dramatic book readings, play team games and learning about ...EVERYTHING a kid aged 5 to 9 could learn about!!:boogie:
I'm totally loving it there, co-volunteers are all nice and helpful all the time and as for the kids...they are a mouthful!!:D One even made a move on me the other day, presented himself with a creafted masquerade mask (made specifically for me;P) and asked for my cellphone number.
Oh yeah.....I'm some hot stuff! hahahahaha!!:giggles:

Also, my creativity levels look like they've risen a bit!:la: I'm looking forward to drawing now, even if it is only sketching or full colouring an entire page! ...That's progress, okay?;P

My dog Thunder is doing better now, thanks to all of you wonderful people who supported me by commissioning me, and of course, to all of your kind wishes and positive thinking for him!:love:
This is my Commission Info, if you're further interested: chocolateisforever.deviantart.…

:heart:Greetings from a worked-out girl who's also trying to get her thoughts on new stories together!!:heart:

Hello my beauties!!:D
The Journal's title pretty much says it all! Commission Discounts due to Holiday Season and me having a great deal of expenses that I'm trying to cover (vet's bills and medication mostly)

As for the content, I'd only like to say that:
I keep my mind open and my pencil ready:D

Changes and Art

4 min read
Hullo beautiful people! I mean... sailors!!:pirate:
AAAARGGGHHH!!!

...I feel like a pirate because when I was little and I was watching pirate cartoons or kid movies they always went "AaArRrrrgh" at a point, and I thought they were angry.^^;
So whenever I am furious about something I go in "pirate mode", as my sis calls it.:beer:

The reason why I turn furious has always been something that I can't change myself or some situation that affects me greatly, but I can't do practically and actively anything to change it.:(

So, yeah.
This is one of these times.:noes:

:bulletred:While I am fighting this art block with everything I have (there are plenty of sketches and unfinished stuff in my sketchbook, and I am trying to fight the frenzy by finishing something, and drawing even a little every day), there seem to be forces that hold me back always.
First, my university closes for about 10 weeks already.
The workers went on the longest strike ever, caused by the infuriating economy status which is causing lowering salaries, extremely hard to find a job, and a less happy lifestyle in all.
So, my uni is closed. There are no classes taking place whatsoever. I lost an exam period for which I had studied already.
I have lost my semester. I can't get my degree and look for a full time job because of all that. I am really angry and I can't take any real action as a student.

:bulletgreen:As far as art is concerned though, I do have ideas in the making, mostly comics and nea side characters with their own stories and fucked up lives too:D
Always happy to mess my OC's up, the worst way possible!!:evillaugh:
I'll have some updates soon enough too.
I'm fighting this art block with everything I have!:)

:bulletyellow:Also, we are taking our dog, Thunder, to the vet tomorrow to examine the possibility of arthritis. The poor pup can't sit properly for 2 days now, and although he doesn't seem to be in pain, his movements are limited and his knee is a bit swelled:( I hope the doctor will take good care of him and that she'll be able to help him with any pain. Bad news is that our own ability to pay for his treatment and/or medications is limited as well. But I am hoping for the best, and trying to stay positive.

:bulletpink:In other news, I am taking an online class about comics and graphic novels that helps me to improve my storytelling and plot unveiling skills!:D I am really happy with all the intersting things I am learning every week!:eager:

So, changes!
Who likes them really??:?
Are they any good to you anyway? If you have the time, please share a bit of your stories with changes in life that you can't do/undo yourself.

...Thank you for reading this Journal guys:thanks: It helped me a bit writing all this stuff down:hug:

Cheers!:heart:
