Desucon is over

Hey guys!
For those of you who don't know this; I did go to Desucon with my photos and drawings after all O.o!
I decided one week before desucon that; "okey! I'll go to Desucon after all! What do I have to loose?" So this week has been quite busy and nerve wracking! On Friday, one week ago I sent a lot of drawings and pictures to Japan foto! The pictures were finished and sent to Oslo Friday. PHEW! I've been drawing every day too! 1-2 drawings per day. haha! It's been really cozy, just ignoring my studies and everything. Haha^^ I haven't studied any Japanese this week. Was okey with a break!
We didn't have any class on Thursday and Friday either. Good for me! ;)
On thursday I met up With Liv Elin. She was in Oslo. It was so good to see her again. We went window shopping and had a great time. Liv and Ellisiv (her daughter) came to my apartment and watched Kung Fu Panda. Hilarious.^^

So, everything were made ready for the big occasion:D I was terrified but also looked a bit forward to desucon. The minute I entered the building I regretted everything! I was more scared than I'd ever been! How in the world was I supposed to sell anything at all? I were at Desucon 0900 AM. 1200 PM they entered the doors for the 3000 people waiting outside.
I shared the stand with my good friend Nina Marie, who I felt was a wonderful supporter! Gah, I'm so glad she was with me!
When they started the entering show, the music ran high out in the enormous hall. Goosebumps all over my body. They'd made a wonderful Anime video to the music^^ Then all the rush started, people ( A LOT of people) came looking at the artist who had Fan art^^. Not only that, but people were cosplaying too. Almost everyone. Was insane to see so mane people with flashy colored hair and strange clothes and all! I also met Link, Zelda and Midna. Wonderful!
Nina and I were at Desucon til 1900PM. I was really exhausted at the end of the day O.o
It went well, selling my drawing. I sold drawings for around 1800NOKR. Which is wonderful, because I paid 250 for entering and 1300 for the printing. So I really didn't earn that much but that's not the point really. I got a lot of good comments about my drawings and all. Desucon was really social too!
I just wish that I would have had more time to draw fan art, because I would have sold more then but hey^^ I'll remember that till next time!
There were so many people who came to Desucon that I knew^^ people from class, our teacher's, my landlord, childhood friends and people from Tromsø too! haha^^ Really funneh!:)

When I came home I drank ice coffee and watched television while drawing. We have a huuuuuge test tomorrow, so I'm gonna study all day long! I'm going to ask Ole nicely if he can be a sweetheart and make dinner for us!:)

Oh and one other thing... I've done a lot of thinking lately. I've decided that I'm going to do less photography and focus more on drawing. That's just how I feel. I'm not saying that I'm going to really quit taking photos though. I'll have some shoots now and then. I'll arrange photoshoots with models somethimes I guess.
It's not that it aint funny to take photo's its just that everything depends so much on the model (if they can do the right pose, have the right face, clothes etc.), the weather and time. I really don't like that. And It's so hard finding the "right model" who's really really good.
Maybe I'll do more of the natural photographing? I don't know... I'll keep on taking nature photo's and child photo's and so on^^ *sigh* looking forward to Japan ;)
I just want to improve my drawing skills! So that's my goal! I have 3 photoshoots these upcoming days that I'll finish and then I'm going to have a little break taking photo's! (unless friends asks me too take photo's of them, much easier to work with people you know!)
Later folks!

So.... What have I done lately? I really don't remember:P I been studying a lot as usual! ah ah! Now I remember! Last weekend I went to Trondheim to my Friend Zeila:D It was so much fun! I had a great time in Trondheim! I took a lot of pictures, had nightly pillow talks and I went partying with Zeila. For those of you who don't know who Zeila is; I "met" her through Club Nintendo Magazine when I was around 14 years. She's a airmail friend:P haha!^^ Funneh! I also had another Airmail friend whom Live in Trondheim; Xenonia:) Xenonia also went partying with us. It was so fun to see my "old" friends again. We don't see each other that often!

Well, I still love studying. I feel so lucky when I can say that I love going to my japanese classes although they are a little boring. And I just get sick of all the people who don't understand a thing we're going through in the Japanese Class! Haha, I know it's a bad thing to be irritated by this but I just can't help it. A lot of people act totally care! Sometimes I don't understand what they are doing in my class at all...

I've been really tired this week. I started Monday with school and work out exercises afterwards. Which is fun of course. But the main problem with this is that I'm so tired and moody when returning to my house. My cute boyfriend don't understand why. Of course I try to explain to him that I'm tired and have a lot to do, but it seem kind of hard to him to understand. I sometimes feel really bad about being so moody when I'm at home. And sometimes I just have so much to do that I "forget" that I have a boyfriend and love life to take care of!
It's just that... I feel that I can never stop studying because there's so much to learn every minute I study which I don't wanna miss. But I need to pull my self together and start caring more about my love life^^ Maybe do something really cosy at least once a week.
Then again, it's all the friends that I have.. Who also want to spend time with me... And people don't understand: no, I can't! There is just to much school work to do." People almost get mad and really disappointed. *sigh* I just wish people would understand how much I have to do all day long.

Ole Morten's friend Ole Petter came to our place Wednsday. He's such a nice guy. I like having him here, and Ole Morten seem to like having him company. Although the have these childish little discussions. Haha. I'm laughing a lot:P Well.. yeah.. Been making Pizza and been up to 5am and so on.

This night I got my period. Yay! I'm so happy! ahem! Not... I couldn't sleep. What the hells wrong with my period? can't it just be like I'm used to? Which means; not hurting and all that:P haha... If I'm a sleep when I get my period I always wake up having a hard time to breath and fall asleep again. It usually ends with me not attending to class or something because of the lack of sleep, as if today.

Karoline, Benedikte, Petter, Håkon and I went to Drammen today! testing out the svimming pool there!:D Haha! Really funny! they had pools with artificial waves and streams and wiiiiiiiiiii! So funny!:D:D I really want to go there again! After some hours my periodthingie started to hurt like hell again so I got really tired. Although we went to Håkon and made taco but I had to the the Train home. Not funny to sleep over at someones place when you don't feel that good. Just spent the night skteching on a new drawing, which I hopefully will finish:D And I've read some new Japanese grammar^^

Now I really feel like going to bed:D So have a good night. Going to celebrate my friends birthday tomorrow:) nighty!

this is a sketch I started. I really liked it at first but then I rotated it and discovered a loooooot of things I didn't like with this drawing!:P

I am alive!

Yeah, I really am! But the last month have been so incredibly busy! Starting the university, getting everything settled. I just haven't had the time to think about my blog at all. Although I feel a little bad about this. My blog is after all a good opportunity to tell my friends all around the world how I am, and what's happening in my life.

I'll try to make everything short, but informative. My studying is going well, i get mostly 97-99% scores on the Japanese tests that we have every Monday. So I'm really pleased with that, although I get annoyed when I don't get full score! I always do silly mistakes, forgetting some hiragana and so on.
The exfac studies... What can I say about this topic? It's hard. Motsly because I don't understand that much >_< I'm starting to believe that everything I'm reading in the book is just rubbish! It's all about things you know, only that they've made up more difficult words for it XD Haha! I'm not even sure how I'm gonna make it through the exam. I'm trying my best to understand everything. but there's just so much to read and so many strange new words all the time. Well, enough about Exfac:P

On my spare time I stud study and study. It seems to be everything I do these days. I was supposed to attend Desucon but I don't think I'm going to do that after all. I don't have any new drawings. I just get angry while drawing when it doesn't turn out like i want to. This last weekend my anger exploded around 4 A.M. Haha, I just started weeping and crying, shouting and cursing. My cute boyfriend tried to comfort me but I was so angry and just cried more. For like 1 hour or something? It's been a really long time since I've been this angry, but you have to consider the fact that it was in the middle of the night and I may have been quite tired:P
When I don't draw, study or is in class I go to the gym and work out. Feels wonderful! I just love lifting weights^^ It so much fun! I try to go swimming once a week too! I don't know if this is a surprise; but I almost drown when swimming O.o I'm a terrible swimmer! hihi!

It works great living with my boyfriend. We don't see to have any problems at all. I really like this! I still love my apartment, although I get really mad every time I enter the kitchen. We've got this annoying flies coming from fruit and now they wont disappear! Advice anyone? It doesn't help cleaning the whole kitchen btw-.-

I've had some Photo shoots too! But since I lack of free time I haven't edited that many of them yet! I started yesterday working with the pictures:P I wish I had more time taking photos and drawing!

Anyway, I'm going to Liv Elin December the 9.! Really looking forward too! I'm there for for a whole month! of course I'm going to see my family too. But I'm planning to work a lot in the Christmas holiday! I need money! Speaking of which, I've got a little part time job here in Oslo which I really enjoy! I'm giving free stuff to people. For example; new chocolate entering the market, new hairstyle and so on. It's really a nice job, people get so happy when you give them something for free. I really like that. You don't meet people in a bad mood while working. The other wonderful thing about this job is that my working schedule is really flexible. I can just choose which dates I want to work! perfect:D

Tomorrow my little brother is coming to Oslo. looking forward to see him!:)

How is everyone?
I feel fine:D I just love to study, I don't know why. It's so strange! While I was working,it felt like I didn't have a life at all, the endless 7 and a half hour every day. Being back to studying again feels so wonderful! Although I'm really exhausted! My alarm starts to make noise at 7am every day, I wake up, get dressed and eat breakfast. Then I'm sitting here, under the bed, till 13:30 PM and runs for the bus to the University=D I really really enjoys studying. I spend a lot of time to study Japanese, just to improve or remembering things that I had forgot.
The main problem is that when I'm finished studying at 8PM, I've overworked my shoulders/neck. Then I use the remaining hours to draw, and my shoulders won't get any better with doing this. Around 11 Pm my shoulders hurt like hell, I almost begin to cry sometimes:/ I really don't know what to do about this. I try to sit in the right position and everything, but it doesn't seem to help that much O.o what to do? The only thing I've come to conclusion with is to be active some hours of the day: swimming, running, walk etc.etc. *sigh*
I can't stop drawing either XD No chance I'll do that!

In October I'll probably attend DesuCon. I'm going to have an exhibition. If... I have enough drawings to show up with. I really don't know. I spend too much time drawing on one piece. I hope to do some fan art for DesuCon, and some of my own. I will bring some digital art, paintings (hopefully) and traditional art:) I'm going to draw Zelda-, Ghibli-, and Final Fantasy Fan art. I'm really looking forward to do some Fan art again, It's been a really long time since I've actually done that. I'm just so worried and most of all; I doubt my self too much! I'm having this stupid thoughts: "why would anyone buy my work`?" "How old are the people who's gonna be there?" "can they afford to buy anything?" "and what's a okey price to pay for my drawings?"
Djeeez, I believe I'm just going to end up with nothing after attending DesuCon. But I'll give it a shot. It's a bout time after all:)

I don't know if all of you've noticed, but I finished my Cyborg drawing yesterday. I'm not entirely pleased with the background, but my mind was blank and that's the only thing that came out:/ It feels great, to have a lot of drawing inspiration again. Can't remember last time there were so many things I wanted do draw O.o

Yesterday, my friends and I went swimming. I'm in a really bad shape I think, because I was the only one who almost drowned during the session:P But I've never been a good swimmer.

My boyfriend has been so kind to buy me a wonderful birthday present!:D I'm so happy. He bought me a flight ticket to Trondheim! I'm really looking forward to go there. But first, Liv Elin is coming to my place next weekend. And the weekend after that, Mia ( Zeila) i coming for a weekend visit:D I'm really looking forward to! I hope we'll have a great time:D

I'm having a upcoming project with some other artist that I've met! I'm so exited! I'm going to shoot elf pictures with this other photographer. We've found a great model! She is really cute and loves being in front of the camera. You can find Hanne's photos here: Anikken Hanne Vik
I met this girl who can sew clothes:D So she is also helping us making a dress. We've just started the sketch! Look here at her DA page.
Hopefully, my wonderful freind Bent Are (belros Fletcher) can make a wonderful fitting necklace for the dress and model:D Really looking forward to!:D:D

Live Role Play

God evening:)
Today has been a really interesting day. I woke up 7 am this morning and started my studies. I was so tired. It's really hard to wake up at 7 am when I don't have to get up from bed before 12 am ( day? ). The first three or four hours I just want to go back to bed. I'm thinking: oh, When I've finished this, I'll go to sleep for one hour or two>_< Silly me. I'm just fooling myself. Although I never get the time to go back to bed. I have to much to do. Ever since I started at school it feels like I've been studying all day long. I've had like 1 hour with drawing since Sunday. *sigh* I really need to take my time to draw some more and finish my "cyborg" drawing.
I'm taking Ex.fac this year, which seems to be an interesting major after all. I thought it was going to be really boring and all that. When I read the Ex.fac book, my thoughts don't fly away like they use to. Which is a really good sign.
I've made good friends in class, we have the same humor. And many of my new friends are really cute! Sometimes I just want to hug them all^^

There are some many things that I should get sorted in my mind and in life. Like: Am I going to look for a job? do I have time to a part-time job. I really don't think so. But there are so many things I need money for. For example; next year, if I pass my exam, I'll be going to Japan for 5 months. I really like our apartment here in Oslo, so how can I still be in Japan and pay money for renting the apartment. Ole can't pay the rental all by himself, so I need to get around 20 000 NOK for the rental the 5 months I'm in Japan. And how can I do that? I don't know. I'm considering to work in the Christmas holiday or something. Maybe even when we have a lot of days off at the Uni. and we're going to prepare for the upcoming exams. I really need to get money from some place but hey... Where? I still need to think a little about this. I sometimes panic. I'm a little bit worried I must admit.

And then again, If i get a part-time job; when do I then have the time for art? bleeeh! Don't want to get started worrying now! I wish I could earn money on my art :(!!!

Oh and I'll show you some pictures of our apartment later this week! :) that is If I remember it of course!:)

I went to this live role play today. It was really fun! The plot was: A girl had married a OLD pirate for his large amount of money, but the marriage didn't work out as well as she had hoped. She now wanted all his money, and she got some information about where his treasure map was. We started looking for the map! It was really funny. I got a role as an barbarian. I just spoke about eating toenails and snails and that I used my hair as toilet paper. Haha! My friend Ane, was the princess' maiden who wanted money for her headache medicine. One of the guys was a veteran who always spoke about the old days; "This reminds me of the day when... blablabla". The other guy was the hero! So he was the really smart one. The girl with the green dress was a priestess who talked about God all the time:P
After walking in the forest for a while, we met pirates. YARR!!! She sold us a fake map of course. Then we got robbed by another pirate. After a while we found this cave with a real map! Haha. And yet another pirate with a little baby captain! Hihi^^ The little baby was so cute!!! We looked for the treasure in like.. at least one hour. Then we finally found it and celebrated with cookies^^


YUUUUUK!!




waaaa, so CUUUUUUUTE! Little little one!

Japanese Class, University and Oslo

Hey there folks!
how are you all? I'm just fine. I haven't had the time to even consider writing a blog these past days. My studies started to day here in Oslo. I'm already exhausted actually. My back hurts like hell after 6 hours sitting on terrible chairs.
I was really exited today, entering the Japanese class. Fortunately there were a lot of people in my class I already knew, so I didn't feel stupid or anything^^
There were so many strange people there too, and the teachers seems nice but strict. (As Japanese people are). The first class was really boring, kanji history O.o

Since I moved here to Oslo I've got some new interesting friends! I really like making new friends. It's so funny. AND; I met a lot of artists. Wonderful!
There is so much to see here in Oslo and everytime I walk out the door I'm like: "ooooh, I'm in Japan almost. hunh. "
It's so warm here compared to north norway. I really like it. I actually can wear nice summer clothes^^
I've attended some college parties, but I can't say any of them have been any fun. There are soooo many people, like everywhere. But I like it!:)

I have so many things to do. Still working on the last drawing I submitted here! I'll give you a better update soon, when I have the time:)


A picture from the Maiken Photoshoot

My last day in Tromsø and WIP-drawing.

This will be my last update in a month I think.
This is my last day in Tromsø. I really don't believe it yet! It's so strange.
My boyfriend has arranged a lot of things for us, which is good!:)
Unfortunately, he told me that we don't get connected to internet in something like 5-6 weeks. Gaaah! How am I going to survive without internet? O.o I'llfeel so isolated.
Perhaps I can use internet at school as soon as I'll go to the university!
I hope that I'll have a lot of art to show you when I'm on net! But I can't promise.

My boyfriend and I have to do some bog shopping these upcoming days! Looking forward to fixing everything!:)
Giving you a little sneak peak on a drawing I'm workin on!:)
See you around:)
