Going to Europe!I've been keeping this a secret from my dA people for awhile because I wanted to make sure I announced it when the arrangements are completely in order, but yep! I'll be going to Europe over the summer!More Like This
June 5th to the 13th, I'll be with the school trip this year. We're visiting Paris, the Lucerne region in Switzerland, and Munich! Honestly, it hasn't really hit me yet, and considering the fact that I've never been out of the US without my parents...I'm extremely nervous. I mean, I'm fine on planes (hell, I love flying and always stare out the plane window like a freak) but the thought that I'll be ACROSS THE FREAKING OCEAN without any family and just with my teacher and classmates is kind of intimidating.
But I'm happy. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity, and it took a lot of time to raise the money for it since I just can't get a job. Seriously, I did so many fundraisers, my neighbors kind of hate me.

among ink-scented fraudulence.

Hey what's up guys! Its been a while but I'm back to stay!
There was a good reason for my absence...
As some of you who are following me on facebook might know, my girlfriend and I were expecting and my daughter was born a few weeks ago. This has been the single best moment of my life so far and we've been very very lucky everything has gone so perfect.
With all of that going on, painting was the last thing on my mind but now that I've settled into this new life as a dad, the urge is coming back and I'm going to be painting a LOT more.
I'm going to start a series of tutorials on Youtube where I'll explain everything character related from a beginner's level up to more advanced stuff. This will be a weekly thing and I'll be releasing the first one this week.
What I've been doing so far are just timelapses of regular paintings and while I'll still make these, my goal with the tutorial series is to target ce
