I know, I know, it's been forever, but I've just popped back to discover my last update was from about two years ago...ehe. I've been busy and super stressed out these past months, having finally graduated (First Class Honours woooo) and been cast adrift into the Big Ole World. It sucks being back to living with my family after four years of freedom in shared housing, but hopefully I'll be able to move out on my own someday. So yes, I did survive the year of academic hell in Italy, and my final year at uni, and on top of that I even got the chance to take a trip all on my own down to Australia to visit a long-time senpai and fellow TES RPer!
I'd never been out of Europe before, but I found my way from the UK to Dubai to Kuala Lumpur to Australia without much trouble (apart from the torture of taking 3 different planes and travelling 20+ hours) and stayed with him for two amazing months. We also recently finished an epically long (in that it took us months to finish XD) RP thread on tumblr between Lleryn and his lovely Dunmer Moraelyn, which you can find somewhere on my Lleryn blog (llerynserathis.tumblr).
Art-wise I've mostly been posting my work on the tumblrs, though a large part of it has been exclusively Lleryn-related so it's gone on my sometimes-RP bloggie (llerynserathis.tumblr.com/tagged/art). I'm trying to assemble another blog for art only, though that's still in-progress atm.
Also a cleanout of the garage yesterday unearthed a pile of sketchbooks that contained the oldest art I remember posting on here, back when I was around 15 and intensely obsessed with POTO (which I still love, by all means XD). There was a lot of nostalgia and maybe a little bit of cringe too, and it got me thinking about the old times and the great people I met through dA. So that's why I'm checking in today - just to say thanks for all the continued support and all the lovely messages and feedback everyone's given me even when I've not been active. As you can imagine my notifications are, uh...in the thousands there since I've been away so long...but I've still looked through them and smiled a lot <3
I may be posting more art here sometime when I have a few minutes to spare, though my main hub is tumblr these days given that a lot of the art I post here mysteriously ends up on tumblr anyway (almost always uncredited). But yeah, I'm definitely going to be back here now and then, and I'm fine with the sharing of my art as long as it's credited etc :3
What else, hmm...I've been playing ESO, though not so much lately, on the EU server with my Altmer mainly (with whom I completed the Daedric Lord Slayer achievement, and afterwards decided to rest on my laurels)...I've also been playing Flight Rising because yes dragons (hmu if you want to add me, I like looking at other people's dragons :3). Also SKYRIM. After an eternity...oh, feels good man. Feels good.
Anyway, that's all for now - and thanks again!

Italy Again
EHEHEH oops I forgot to update my journal ^^;
Right now I'm back in Italy, back with the seven flatmates, and back at lectures. Ugh ugh ugh. However, that's not to say I have no time to draw!
Added bonus: my Wacom tablet didn't get me searched at the airport this time round! Whee!
I'll be here until June, possibly July. Then when I'm back home in the UK for summer I'll probably get commissions open, since so many people have asked me about them.
That's about it, I think! Hopefully I'll get through these last few months at an Italian university OK.
Then it will be back to happy drawing times, oh ye.
Back in the UK!
After some major trouble at the airport in Italy that nearly made me lose my flight (and there are only 3 flights a week from that airport to the UK), I somehow finally managed to make it back to England for Christmas!
There's STILL no proper internet here, just one of those mobile broadband thingies, but I'll hopefully have more time to spend on drawing (if my little brother leaves me alone for five minutes)
I'd forgotten how much I missed carpets...and soundproof windows...and MINCE PIES aaaaagaglalglalga
i did the thing
I am finally free from the username I thought was cool when I was 15

Off to Italy, still screwed
In a couple of days I'll be off for my year in an Italian uni - still pretty terrified seeing as I don't actually have a guaranteed place to live there yet. I'll be living in a hotel for the rest of September, don't know how the hell that's going to work out.
I have, however got a viewing booked for an apartment in the centre (though it's an 8-person apartment, it could be interesting sharing a kitchen with 7 other people). The accommodation people haven't replied to my email about booking another viewing for some reason. Their contracts are also yearly, so this time next year I'll still be paying rent auuuuuugh
Plus I've not heard anything

Glad to see you're still alive and, by the sounds of it, at least mostly well! If you ever come across Dareio, Alva Lorsel, or (I don't expect you remember any of these names, but especially this one) Jethalunerrpal Miribarib in the ESO EU servers, don't be a stranger oDo! Though I think you're a whole lot higher level than I am, judging by the achievement.
