If Gil was real...

... then he wouldn't look like I draw him. :B
Lalala, still art block. And I managed to cut my right thumb today with my COMPUTER! XD;;; Seriously, a part of  the "A" in the ASUS logo got stuck in my finger as I was cleaning the damn thing! Who thought it would come off like that?! I managed to pull it out of my finger, but it was bleeding like hell. It's a small cut but it's pretty deep. I hope it heals a bit by Monday.

Anyway, I haven't been drawing much. Tomorrow is Break's birthday, but I missed Vincent's birthday too, so I'm not gonna draw anything. I'd decided from the beginning that I wouldn't draw for these "character birthdays", but I always feel a little guilty for not doing anything while "Happy Birthday" drawings keep popping up on pixiv. ^^;

This is pretty much the only thing I've been working on recently. This will be (?) a commission for HockeyWitch. I still dislike his face, but I think I might leave it like that now. I've been messing around with it for 2 months...

It looks like this at the moment. My task was to draw Gil like he is on this picture but in a semi-realistic style. I'm not satisfied with the result, but I'm too lazy to try redoing it all. I think I realized it just now that the mouth looks awkward, haha...

I've been working for 3 months. However, this job is only for a certain period of time and it will end next year. To be honest, I'm both scared and happy about it. I'm scared of not being able to find another job, but I'm happy that I won't have to work here forever. I do like the people there and it's an okay job, but I want something more. Something where I could use my skills and solve problems instead of just being an "errand girl" and doing the most basic or least pleasant stuff nobody else is willing to do. I really don't want to complain, but the payment could be better too. (Well, it's a job for rookies so...) I like working there, but I think I'm capable of doing more.

And... and... I played Slender! In my opinion, the game is much more annoying than scary. I watched a few people play on YouTube, but their screen didn't seem as dark as mine most of the time. I can't really figure out where I'm going even with the flashlight switched on. I attempted to play a few times, but just gave up and quit after collecting 1-2 pages because I got bored of the endless walking and the trees. (Slenderman got me only once after walking for way too long.) The drumming in the background is also annoying as hell. My other problem besides the blinding darkness is the speed. Walking is frigging slow. Running should be better, but in this case, I can see even less. The scariest part of the game is the sudden flickering screen. That really made me go "Huh!?" a few times. But I think people overreact and overhype like always.

Okay, that's all for September, I guess. I don't know if there's anyone besides Axl16 who's following my ramblings here, but see you next time~
