Around this time...

Two years ago, around this time, I graduated from college. Two years ago, I faced the world with uncertainty and anxiousness. Two years later, present day, I am still anxious but now certain. What a world of difference.
Here's the latest work in progress.

Demonia Revisited

Have you ever worked on a project and think you are finished but for some reason keep coming back to it? You keep looking at it for the longest time and can't quite figure out what's missing in your piece? Well, that happened with Demonia. This painting had been bothering me for quite some time. I decided to revisit it with fresh eyes and tweaked it a bit to make it more together and enchanting, I hope. After finishing this second version, I feel rather comfortable with it now.

The Sunrise

Hello there!
I know it has been a while. I apologize. Many things have happened on this journey of mine. I finally got a job as a graphic artist/illustrator for a social gaming company. I'm super excited and relieved. It has been about a month now and I'm gradually working my way back into my personal projects. I also bought a car with the money I saved up while working retail. So things are looking up...it's strange. Things happened so quickly that I'm still soaking it all in. Hardly expecting to find any work where I could sit on my butt all day and draw- and get paid. It's surreal and I'm embracing every moment. I hate to jinx myself but oddly things are shifting towards a good direction. I can't quite put my finger on it but the little hope that I did have prior to my new job is manifesting in some way. I don't regret all the things I had to go through. The struggles and obstacles helped to define who I am today. I believe if I had things handed to me quickly, I might not fully appreciate everything and everyone in my life. I wouldn't be able to see clearly like I do now. I hated what I had to go through but who doesn't. It happened for a reason and I'll carry it with me as a reminder. With the changes in my life now, I will still continue to work hard to visualize my complete dream. Or most of it anyways...
Here is the latest work in progress that you're probably dying to see...probably not.
