Hiya everyone!

Well, I promised another update when I was feeling better, didn't I?

And I'm feeling much better than I was a few weeks ago. (Thank goodness!) I've been keeping myself very busy lately, so I'll make this as reader friendly as possible, and make this journal informative and to the point!

SOCIAL LIFE!
Is evolving around arts and crafts, mainly cosplay costume making! If you know me from the MCM Expo forums, Cosplay Island (just recently signed up there!) or Cosplay.com I'm going to try and update pictures as and when I am progressing with the costumes this time around so you can see everything in the making! (Hopefully!)
I usually go by my full name on forums now, so be on the lookout for me!

COSPLAY!
Cosplay costume making is slowly taking over my whole life!
I have materials and stuff ALL over the house!
I decided to take a time out from drawing for a while and concentrate on the new art form of cosplay costumes.
I've decided to try and take 2 on this time, being Princess Sally and Sudowoodo.
I've started early so I'll be in time for May Expo next year.

The Sudowoodo progress is pretty fast, and I'll try and update my webcam picture from time to time, so you can see how it's coming along.
The Princess Sally one I'm gathering materials for right now. I've done some sketches and ideas, and tried to start making a head, but it was all getting a bit too much for me, so I've put it to one side for the moment (not abandoning Sally for the world though! I'll make it even if I'm kicking and screaming along the way!!)

MUSIC!
Not really into much new stuff, I've sort of gone in a time warp and listening to things from the 80's again 0_o
Still into my video game and film music though as always!

GAMES!
Haven't really played many new games, I keep on playing classic Mega Drive on my M3 DS Simply, but I am getting into Professor Layton and Phoenix Wright, with a little Pokémon Link on the side! I did buy Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance for my Wii, but it's been too cold up in my room to play it at the moment.
I am excited about Zelda II for Wii next year, that should be interesting.
And they're releasing a black Wii console! Dammit! It looks so sexy! Why didn't they release 2 colours when it first came out??

OTHER STUFF!
I'm off to see New Moon at the weekend and probably will work some more on my cosplay costume...probably Sudowoodo, as I have most if not all my materials for that.
Might make his FIMO eyes tomorrow!

I'm also beginning the Twilight saga book "Eclipse"...let's hope the pace picks up a bit NOW...though I very much doubt it. I've been highly disappointed with them so far.

Went to Travelling Man in Manchester today to a book signing for *Templesmith
Was amazing to watch him sketch so quickly, I should really look into his work more. It was ~nikulashi who introduced me to his work, and it's really growing on me!

Also went to China Town in Manchester and bought a crap load of snacks and biscuits. Well you just have to dontcha?

Found out today that I had my "Tea Time" Professor Layton fan art published in Issue 50 of the Official Nintendo Magazine, so that was a great start to my day!
