It's a work in progress...
So as I told you I have some taks I have to be very serious about, because I'll have to present them in my big final exam thingy. One of these is an illustrated book (well, not exactly a book, but it must have at least 2 pages with illustration and words, and cover pages).
After a long decision-making process, my final choice became “Sneewittchen” from the brothers Grimm collection of tales. But you might rather know it as the tale of “Snow White” or – if you're Hungarian – as “Hófehérke”. I used a Hungarian translation which is trying to be very accurate, so that's why it's called “Hófejírke” regarding the original title.
It's still a work in progress (you can't imagine how long I've been working on this sh...lovely thing), and I know, it could be better (you can't imagine how hard it is to find proper black paper in Jászberény, actually to find any kind of black paper...), and I already messed up some things (you can't imagine how little time I have to work on it, and how much I'm fed up with the whole task)... but still. I guess I can see the light in the end of the tunnel – as they say.

E6 – The Ultimate Moose Problem
You know when you have some sort of porcelain thing which someone breaks, but you don't throw it out, just glue it instead, which isn't even very conspicuous, so you keep it, until one day someone breaks it again (cause, honestly, why to be careful with something already faulty), and the glueing this time is conspicuous but still acceptable, until next time someone breaks it, so you glue it again and put it on its previous place (why you keep putting it in a place where it can be broken so easily), and this time it's very obvious, but you give it one more chance, cause you really like that porcelain kitten or bear or moose or anything,
but it breaks again.
So you throw the whole stupid thing out and don't want to see it ever again, and as you walk by you find a much nicer porcelain thing which makes you happier even if it's not on your shelf, so who cares about that old crappy thing, which you try to cast out of your head as much as you can (it does not work but you won't admit it for the love of God, cause, you know, who could see in your head anyway), so you live a rather good life, until one day that someone who broke that old porcelain stuff all the times, comes back to you with the pieces of it, because after yours has broken, he had a porcelain doe and it broke and can't be fixed, so he remembered that there used to be another porcelain stuff which looked... well, not that bad, even after several times of fixing it, so he comes to you with those pieces of it he found in the trash and he tries to convince you that it can be glued for this one last time (and he changed so much anyway, so he will be careful from now on), and puts it in front of you and you're like "What the hell is this guy doing" and he glues it together, and holds it up like "See? I told ya! It can be fixed!" and you are like "whatever", cause
it.
looks.
like.
crap.

“It needs to be 'bout 20% cooler.”
Sorry guys for not being more active here, but I'm not exaggerating when I say I don't really have time I don't spend either by working, sleeping or acting extra nerdy at school.
Nevertheless, I promised to show you the stuff I did last semester at school, which I gladly present: (click on the pictures to see the projects)
Hope you enjoyed, next time new stuff from my sketchbook. Or something else.

... and finally just for fun, and only for you: “the art of making art”...

Invitation. To love.
So I decided not to continue my 365 Illustration Project the way I did it (my other option was to scratch out sleeping from my daily schedule). But I still feel the need of doing something similar, and sometimes, only sometimes, even doing it similarly to the “good old days”. Now I'll show you some of these (don't mock the topics. I'm still an isolated freakish spinster, so what.)
Until the next episode of “fragments from my sketchbook”,
Until the next episode of “fragments from my sketchbook”,
yours sincerely

Whatever happened to ye olde consistency?
So you're probably wondering if I'll ever continue posting to these sites of mine. Well... Thing is, I'm wondering too.
Here's the case in brief:
Here's the case in brief:
- I got a fulltime job (FINALLY) in January at the local newspaper as a layout editor. That takes a lot of time, like, being there from morning till late afternoon (sometimes even till night) and even working when I'm at home. Besides, I'm new, still in probation, so I'd better be very active. Like very, very active.
- I have exams. Serious ones. Like there are these modules, and my work for it must be like super-ultra-extreme-awesomazing, because I'll need to defend it at my finals in June.
- It's my senior year. That means I'll have to start working on my Big Final Work thingy (something like a thesis but less tapping the keyboard, more drawing and glueing and whatever creative work), and learn all those terrifyingly great amount of... stuff.
- I have some other things I promised my friends before Christmas and everything. Like this great book a friend of mine wrote, I'm making its layout and even doing some proofreading too. So... things like that.
