The return of the prodigal son

::waves smiling sheepishly:: Hello TG people! I have missed you all so!

I'd completely disappeared because this was my final year in highschool, and OMG, so much studying for my finals o.o On top of that, I got a nasty case of tendonitis, which makes dolling very, very painful, if not impossible.

Anyway, I return bearing gifts!


Base

This is for the lovely, amazing, brilliant Alora, who always remembered me on big holidays, like Christmas and my birthday, despite me being terribly absent all the time. I feel so cheap only giving you this, hon, but have a little faith, more are coming ::winks:: Thank you, darling! ::glomps::


Base

And thiiis is for my Stitchy, whom I have missed terribly.

Well, people, that's all for now! I don't know how much dolling the damn arm will let me do, but I will try to be around, now that I'm FREEE from school and all!!

School doodles!

This is what happens when I'm bored at school. These are all really quickly done, that's why they're mostly crappy, but they have their appeal XD



I kinda like her!



The sketch that inspired my formal masquerade doll. When I have ideas for a doll, I sketch them down - having something to look at always helps me when I'm dolling.



This one's kinda crappy. I only did it for the fun of the shading.



For some reason, I really like this one! It kinda happened by accident!



Yes, I even started drawing the covers of my notebooks XDD I had Rihanna's 'Umbrella' completely stuck in my head, so I did this on one of my notebooks. I love it!

Masquerade, paper faces on parade EDIT

I really can't believe I made this:



Base

Made for a formal masquerade contest. I am seriously in love with this doll o__o The skirt almost killed me - took about three hours, and I think I used about 10 colors on the palette to make it look smoother O.O But I reeeeeeally like how she worked out, and I love the whole design, and her mask *__*

I think she just might be my best doll ever!

EDIT: Anarane asked for the pallette I used, so HERE IT IS:



First is dress, second is fabric-thingy around her waist, third is shawl and mask (even though the shawl's palette is a tad bit different).

Fate

Fate, Destiny, "meant to be", there are many names for it.

There are many people who believe that everything that happens is already "written", already decided. That everything happens for a reason. And that everything that happens is meant to be that way.

So, I was just curious. How many of you believe in fate?

Personally, I like to think I'm the only one responsible for what happens to me, good or bad, and that my choices make a difference in my life. I really don't like the idea of living a "pre-defined" life.
