I guess is in time to update this, even if I am not sure if anyone read it:

Some some updates, mostly stuff from the previous year:

- Several good lolita meeting event, specially the spring one (I just wished I used a better outfit there), during the Anime Buzz/Nihon Matsuri (21/08/16) I got very good photos and even got in second place during the fashion contest.


Mostly important, my cosplay was ready, and finally I could used in the Anime Fan Event (11/07/16), it was amazing experience, I even joined the cosplay contest at the event, and got in 4th place, which was a great surprise, because I really got nervous during it.

Thanks to the "power of Idolmaster" my illustrations skills improved a lot, I am surprised how much view some of my illustrations got on Pixiv.

And what next?

I am not sure, I know that I do want, if possible, this year try another cosplay and also improve my boystyle wardrobe. I just don´t know which first, or what cosplay or coat/jacket I might ask the cosmaker (Tai Cosmaker).

Hey, don´t know if anyone read this, but...

It have been awhile since I last update this journal - lots of thing to say, so let´s just start with a quick recap of the last events which I go, since the last update.

  • Harajuko Walk (26/07/15) - We had to change plans, at first we thought to go walk in a park or something, but due rain we changed to a shopping. While I am very used to wear a outfit in a event, and the one I used was simple and casual, I did find it a bit hard and felt a bit nervous in the shopping at the start, but after the initial shock, it was ok.
  • Anime Buzz/Nihon Matsuri (15-16/08/15) - Still one of my favorite events, is often very full of people, but since most of the event area is a open space, this is not much problem (except in the more closed part of the event), except that is hard to find the people you know around, and unlikely in a previous event - where I spend most time walking with a group, lately I mostly walk around, meeting people here and there.
  • Spring Meeting (27/09/15) - Great event in amazing place which was bar/coffee with a burlesque theme..
  • Halloween Meeting (08/11/15) - Small, but fun meeting, I often use simpler outfits in this ones.
The most recent event was a Swap Meeting in a friend´s house (06/03/16) - It was very good to see everyone again and the meeting was very fun.

You know... joining and adopting a Japanese fashion changed me a lot, I said this several times by now - but I kind want to explore another aspect:  It made me aware, that I want to be around people, I don´t mind even if I don´t speak very much at the moment, often is enough to just be around - events and meetings give me this chance, which I could not get before. I just wish a bit I could get this also outside too....but still, it is better that nothing and I love this events/meetings, I love see my friends again (another thing I kind didn´t had much before), all of this (the boystyle/lolita and other fashion, the events and the people) mean a lot to me.

Anyway, the curious part is - while I wish to be around people, I am not so good at approaching them as I often feel I am bothering them, maybe because I became in a bit too over conscious of myself and others (and their space) as I fear committing a potential mistake and this cause some exaggerated consequence which is not real at all... so is not much easy to me to invite someone to something as might feart x,y or z  even if I do knew is all because a silly reason that sometime make me feel a bit lonely.

Despite that, something else I felt change in me, was, well, before all of this, I mostly have no photo of myself and even my clothes where very neutral or muted - but, them, after that meeting where all start, the way I see myself changed a lot - I do now choose more clothes I wish to use really and get used to see myself in photos. Off course, there is also the element of martial arts, something which I have been doing for years and helped me a lot.

Now, I and am saying this a couple last of updates - maybe this time - in the next anime event - I will finally do a cosplay - something which might open new doors to me.

Moving on....

It is strange to say - but I never expect how drawing some fan art, helped me a lot to improve my drawing skill (along with a new tool which I am using - the Clip Paint Studio), I did start with Lafiel of the Banner of the Stars, later moved to Fate Stay Night and now Idolmaster, this ones got most views on Pixiv, more that I ever had so far. Still is a bit frustrating how little to no feedback or comments I get, not just here a but even in other places, so I often fear a bit not knowing what I am really doing. In DA I noticed that while my profile got views, my works not so much, on Behance is even less, but on Pixiv I am getting lots of views and notes (not comments, but still...).

As I said in a previous entry, I did changed from history, where I got a bachelor degree to graphical design. I wasn´t happy with my course, something I kind just noticed after almost five years, even if looking back now, the signal where all there, but finally it hit me, while I was trying to do the work for a potential master´s program (I hope I am using the right term), still I don´t regret much, after all at least my work of conclusion was about Count Cain and I could even talk about lolita fashion... anyway, I did a professional course in graphical design and I am happy with it.

I just worried how I haven´t been able to find a job or freelance or anything... I fear I just lack contacts, but I got no idea where find them, and finding them isn´t easy for me. The lack of feedback also sometime make me feel a bit of that impostor´s syndrome, where my confidence fall a little. Still I am trying to learn new stuff and programs, while filling my behance with some original works and hope for the best, even if sometimes I have not much idea of what should I do.

So in the end I did go to the event (the 22 edition of Animextreme on 10/05/15), on the last day.

Overall it was ok, it could be way better if some of the event special guests (which happen to be famous youtubers) fans where less noise, loud and cause less uproar around the event. I did see Calssara but I couldn´t muster courage to talk, but still, at least it was something (I however, maybe should had bring more money and bought something too from her stand), the rest was ok walked around have people asking to take pictures of me, said hello to friends, ect... I didn´t joined the fashion contest this time, most because the place was too farway and I wasn´t in the mood (only because I knew that there would be delays and which mean that it would take even more time).

I am a bit disappointed that the next event had to be cancelled, it is a smaller one, but I do like it a lot. The next one now only around august.

On other topics...

I kind wish I could have done something since (by time I write this, 6/6/15) it is loliday, but some people are a bit busy so I didn´t had a meeting, but maybe in the next week there will be something, I do miss them (specially now that I manage to miss a chance I had to meet some other friends). Shame that I still unable to proper plan my next outfit. Now to be fair and thinking a bit more...I did finish the first version of a lolita drawing that I am planning so I guess I did something for today!

Sorry for the lack of updates in the journal, here is a rundown on the latest events:

The year begin in a very good way with a Meeting in Heidi´s house (01/11/15), which was her birthday. It was very good meeting and it was great see everyone and her happy.

Later there was the "Kamiwaza Awards" (02/22/15) which isn´t a exactly a anime event (or meeting), is more "award event" to somewhat fan event to review last year events and handle some rewards, begin more a very casual, which is really fun and good.

After that we had the first real anime event, the Anime Buzz (03/04 and 05/15), they choose a newer location, which was a bit different, but a good place. While I enjoyed the event, I kind wish I did interact more with people, I mean, while I am a bit shy and worry a bit too much of begin bothering people, I did talk much less, even to people I know I kept hesitating a lot before I talk. Now, if anyone is reading this, that was nothing serious, I did felt a little down after I back to home, but still I could enjoy the event.

By last, the girls of the our local lolita group did allways make a meeting around easter, but this time, due weather which until the very day didn´t rain, but a few hours before the meeting started to rain and we almost give up, but Heidi which offered her house and the easter meeting (04/12/15) could happen, it was great and a lot of fun, she did truly saved the day.

In the meantime I did a couple o new drawings, Lafiel from Banner of the Stars, two new Sailor Mars and Venus drawings and right now I am working on a Saber and Rin drawing.

On the next week there is another anime event, the largest one, but I am in doubt of going or not. I still waiting to see if my cosplay will be ready (I have no hurry) and I didn´t have time to got some new outfit in case of plan B, also the event is far way and maybe some of my friends will not go.

But on the other hand, I kind wish to go, shy or not, event like this still a great place for me to maybe meet and talk to someone, well one of the event guests is Calssara! (at least I could see her´, mostly like from afar, but still...). Also I know too well that if I stay in home, unless I find something else to do with someone or a group (which is very unlikely, I mean chances below zero) I mostly like will feel guilty of not going and maybe a bit down.

------------- Open of Comissions and Freelance --------

Yup, I might give a try for comissions/freelance, so just send me a message and we can talk.
