Hey guys! This is my official blog, for lack of a better name. On deviantart I'm also known as neppa, and my lolita art blog is called Enfant de Pêche. But this is where I update the most often, so I figured I would turn this into my personal art blog.

There are a lot of private and friends locked entries due to the fact that I write about my personal life a lot, but all of my art posts will be public. So go ahead and friend me if you'd like! Most of my art involves lolita, DC comics, my own comic projects, and some speckled bits of miscellaneous fanart from all over. Hopefully I can please someone.

_{Neppa the character is my own creation. He's the purple-haired French guy I have pasted all over the place. I am not actually a purple-haired French guy.}

Ho shit yes I totally finished the graphics for my Gizmonics Institute t-shirt. Anyone know of a good place to get single shirts printed on both sides?

FFFUUUUUUUHHHHH WHY am I so damn itchy?!

Okay, so busy month ahead. Be prepared. For instance, the EGL community is putting together another BABY, THE STARS SHINE BRIGHT fan scrapbook, and art is welcome. I want to do an Alice and the Pirates tribute illustration, because I really really love that brand. I spent a few hours last night brainstorming, trying to come up with an entirely AatP coordinate, but I haven't had any really good ideas for a pose for Alice yet. That is but one of my projects, and it's due August 1st. Yes.

I kinda want to do something for AkuRoku day too, August 13th. I guess it's all the Kingdom Hearts I've been playing. Guess I'll do that then :D

I should really just do a bunch of non-scripted, rough comics just to get myself into the hang of it again. It's been a long time since I've attempted any kind of comic. Some of my old stuff is pure genius.

Oh yeah, I just ordered a new bathing suit. I think it's super cute! Hopefully I'll get to wear it before the summer ends...Someone go to the beach with me! D:

Augh I never update. What is wrong with me? I haven't been drawing much this week, so I have nothing to share. D: I am lame.

I feel like a lifeless, flopping pelt right now. I went to karate for an hour and a half and had my ass kicked to China and back. It doesn't help that I had no sleep last night.

Okay so, I went up to Manch yesterday to hang with mah buuuuuuds. I met up with Kate around 6:30, we went off and got ice cream, went to the mall, went to the book store and found Kara and talked for a while. Around 10:00 I went over to Matt and Brad's place and we hung out and they showed me around the house...it was awesome! We headed for the Red Arrow for coffee and stuff and got back around midnight, when we watched A Goofy Movie. Always a good time. Matt and Brad went to bed a little after the movie ended, and I was to sleep on the couch in the living room. Tim Jones and his buddies stayed up till 4 in the FUCKING morning, and I wanted to kill everyone by the time they finally went upstairs. I'm a light sleeper, my parents can't open my door without me waking up. Needless to say I was the last person to fall asleep. At 6, after I'd finally been able to drift off, two of the people I don't know and kind of hate now came downstairs and put on the Dark Knight....in the same room as me. Fuck you guys. I woke up a few hours later to find the movie replaying...they'd fallen asleep while the movie was on. Fuuuuuuck. I was so angry. I didn't want to bother anyone because I'd never been there before and Matt hadn't slept in days...but I had an hour drive today to get home and karate tonight. I am drained and still kinda pissed. Anyway, there's my rant about people with no consideration for others. It was fun when Matt and Brad were awake though.

I need sleep. I had a sweet two hour Conan marathon because I missed last night's. Now I'm exhausted. Peace.

It's pathetic that this is what I lost one week ago...I basically redid the whole thing today. Over the next couple of days I'll finish the paints and whatever. I'm just annoyed that I lost a whole day of work, this could have been done a week ago.

My next project is a new DA journal CSS. I never want to update my DA because I hate my CSS and I don't want people coming to my page and looking at it. It's actually hindering my production time, because I don't want to post any finished pieces.

Tomorrow i have a dentist appointment and my first karate class in nearly a year. Last summer I took karate again after taking a super long break. I always get really nervous when I return to karate because I feel like I've let sensei down by not keeping up with practice. I forget all sorts of things. I think he forgives me though. In any case, I need the cardio and I miss my friends there. Also I want to finally upgrade to blue belt. For a change.

Uuuuhhhh next week I'm heading up to Manchester to hang out with my good friends Kate, Matt, and Brad! I'm really excited, it's been forever since I've seen any of them. It will be super fun.

Stole it from nevela, and discovered I'm disturbed/really weird. Also, I haven't updated in forever due to my continued mourning so I thought I should do something fun.

1. Compose a list of YOUR top ten sexiest famous men.
2. Collect pictures of each guy.
3. Post them in your journal.
(4. DO IT I WANNA SEE YOUR ANSWERS!)

( HAAAAAWWWWTTTT )

( Rant on sorrow, culminated in my total embarrassment, cut because I figure no one needs to read that a spoiled middle-class girl is sad )

For those that like to skip the sad stuff, I'm getting back into bento-making. I got interested in it a year ago, and I never really had a chance to have any fun with it. I so want to get this Alice in Wonderland bento box along with this onigiri bento box, but there's no time I'd really get a chance to use a cute boxed lunch. I'm always near a kitchen. However, that won't sway me this time. I'm fixed. Today I made onigiri with a dried cranberry filling, an holy cats, they were so good. So I'll keep updating my bento adventures. Especially because I want to get better at baking, so tiny baked goods sounds great. I suck at cooking, but baking I love.

So today I was unable to go into work. I'm out $55.76 for the next week. Shite. I love the rain, but not when it costs me money.

I did, however, get to do some drawing and watching of MST3K. Two of my favorite pastimes.

I put together a compilation of some random and very incomplete lolita doodles. That oughta satisfy you.

Also, a preview of my new dA ID. I take those oddly seriously. I make a new one pretty much every other year. I like to see my self-portraits progress, I guess.

And a sketch of the one, the only, Dr. Clayton Deborah Susan Forrester! I got this retarded idea today so I'll be drawing a good portion of the MST3K cast in the time to come.

So that's it for today. Maybe I'll make some rice balls tomorrow. Or my dA journal CSS.

So so so...bunches and oodles of things going on. Which is a lie. But I have been drawing whenever I can, and thinking of new things every time I get a chance to think. I've got a few fun things to share :D

Well, an update on my himeloli experimental chibi. I finished the lines while watching Pride and Prejudice for the zillionth time. The colors will be in soon enough.

Finally a new picture of Neppa! I barely ever draw him anymore. It's nothing special, and so retardedly static, but I really gotta crawl before I walk. Laaaaaammmmeee.

And a new project! I was inspired by the egl_comm_art June theme of fanart, even though I don't think I'll make it for the deadline. But that's okay! After reading Peter Pan, I knew I needed to do something for it. The concept fits lolita so perfectly, but at the same time it's about a little boy who runs around like a wild beast, the exact opposite of the loli aesthetic. But there's nothing like a good challenge to motivate me! So I'll be doing a series of five images, each of a different character (Peter, Tinkerbell, Wendy, Captain Hook, and Tiger Lily). And boy, is it difficult. I've got Tink sketched out, so I wanna play around with my digital medium and get a better feel for lines especially. I'll explain each piece as I finish it.

I hope to get to see a bunch of my friends very soon! It's good feeling like you're wanted around :D

So I was flipping through my latest sketchbook last night, pretty pleased with the fact that I've actually finished a few things, when I came across a sketch I did a couple months ago, began to ink, and never finished. And you know what? I liked it. That is bizarre, I've rarely liked a piece a few weeks after doing it, let alone a couple of months. It's a picture of Neppa being sexy, I was gonna use it for a layout...somewhere. I think I shall finish it.

Work's progressing satisfactorily on my latest practice piece. Art is difficult for me because I'm really indecisive. That's probably why I find it hard to elevate myself, because I work on a piece and don't finish it for months because I couldn't decide how I wanted to do anything. The experimental chibi lolitas are helpful because I don't really have to worry about coloring or inking, since they're pretty standard for the style I chose, I'm mostly working on how I draw them. Who know, maybe they'll help with more sincere pieces later on. Also, I want to enter the egl art comm's June theme, which is fanart. But I have NO IDEA who I want to lolitize from my favorite fandoms D:

I got overdrafted for buying things too quickly >:[ I fucking hate big banks. I put in $186, checked my account online, and the deposit was listed. So I bought a few things, and they came out fine, especially since I used paypal and on Sundays businesses aren't normally open, so it took them another day to accept the transaction. But they still overdrafted me, because of some retarded policy. Whatever, I'm out $44. I'm pissed, but I need to get over it. I'm gonna use whatever money I'm not saving this summer to buy pretty clothes most people wouldn't be caught dead in. Especially a pair of yellow tea parties 8D

Oh yeah! I was bumming a little yesterday after watching this video, thinking how I'm not cool and have hardly any friends and never hang out with people, and everyone I know was included in the video...and watching it through a second time, I noticed I was in it! There's a clip where Leon's waving his gangly arms in the glass box outside my dorm and this blank girl is watching him like she's seen him do it a million times before...that's me!! I didn't even recognize myself at first XD I mean, sure my presence is kinda depressing, but I was included (somewhat)! So I'm bumming less.

Also, is stodge a word? I keep using it in my head to describe cranky old people at work.
