Today was all about learning my camera. I know that sounds obvious - every picture you take teaches you more about your camera, right? - but I always take forever to get used to new cameras.
Self-timer ftw!
I've been reading a lot lately, so I figured a picture of me doing exactly that wouldn't be such a bad idea.

Yeah so my brother decided to destroy my mom's computer with funfun viruses from LimeWire, and the scanner doesn't want to work with my laptop. Also my camera broke.
But now I have a new camera, so I can post... stuff!
Hey, I actually updated again! This is a good sign, seeing as I tend to have lofty goals and good intentions, but laziness prevails. I'd probably sketch even if I didn't update this blog, but it's nice to be able to share my work with others, get constructive criticism, and, well, stick with something.
So I deleted all of my entries. Normally I would just make them private or something, but honestly, they were all answers to Questions of the Day. I was posting just to post. There was nothing meaningful.
I decided at one point that this would be a cosplay journal, and while I would still very much enjoy having one, I need to find the funds with which to cosplay first... and that'll take me a good long while.
So why did I come back to Vox? Well, for one, there's really no reason to abandon a perfectly good blog. I mean, I was here when this site was in Beta testing! Plus this site is really cute. Also, I've been thinking; I need an art blog.
I could easily have made one on LiveJournal, where I'm far more active... and before Six Apart sold LJ I might have done that. But I like SA's approach on things and I'd like to use their services.
So... I'm going to try.
The only problem I foresee with this is that I don't have a tablet and I may not have access to a scanner for a while. Art is art, though; photographs, drawings, photomanipulations, random graphical tidbits... I figure it all deserves a place. I go through phases where I draw more than I take photos, and then switch, so don't be too surprised at this.
Lately I'm on a drawing kick, so here are a few examples of my work. If you'd like to see photos, check out my DeviantART account.
Daenyris is my handle at Gaia, where I'm only vaguely active. I like my avatar a lot, though, and I decided to draw her. Yes, I'm aware of how fucked up her hand is. Hands are one thing I'm working on.
