What I've been up to

Here goes a sum up of what has been going on for the past few months.

This year has been busy so far...
I have just graduated from a Multimedia Design Bachelor, and I'm still not sure about the next step.
But I'm absolutely sure I'll keep illustrating :)
Actually, I have been thinking for a while now, that I wanted to make a one-shot comic, or even a small Visual Novel game!

For the work update, here goes, from oldest to most recent (sort of)!

                     

























This one is what I'm currently working on


Lately I have been getting a little frustrated with my paintings, because I wanted to give them more colour and some abstract flares... but every time I make a line or a blob where "it's not supposed to exist", I correct it imediatelly to fit a more "realistic" situation =_=  Then again, that would make sense with my MBTI (I am an ISTJ, apparently).
That would explain why I love working with watercolor or doodle with a pen: even if there is a mistake, I can't correct it ^^

It saddens me a little that THU (Trojan Horse was a Unicorn) is moving to Malta. 
The event is amazing, and I was considering paying a visit this year and meet the awesome professional artists and masters who go there. But now it's no longer in Portugal, so, personally, it makes things a bit more difficult. Someday, maybe...

Meanwhile, I'll keep practising and searching for oportunities which might be interesting!

This is random, but a few days ago I commissioned a henna tattoo on my hand, at an annual artisan's fair. The artist made a super detailed motif in 5 min, which, honestly, was surprising O . o
Also, I discovered that henna itches A LOT while it's drying... it certainly trains a person's self-control xD
