Well. It's been a while. My last journal update was from 2011, which was a year of many costumes and conventions and then I got.. bored of it? Cosplay overdose? I don't know, but 2012 was pretty cosplay-free (I cosplayed twice and only made one costume). And this year has mostly been about my studies to be a clothing artisan and my interrail trip in July (UK and Ireland, it was beyond awesome).

So, I'm cleaning up both of my dA accounts, and from now on I will use this one only for cosplay. I'm moving my drawings to my other account, raistlana.deviantart.com raistlana.deviantart.com.

And new cosplay photos coming soon! (hopefully...)

I've been very unactive for a while now, both in drawing and here in dA. Cosplay took a lot of time in the summer, both making costumes and taking/editing the photos. Then I went to Rome for about a month in September, and then... I don't know what has kept me from drawing these past two months - probably just procrastination and watching anime. But now, I want to start drawing again. I never was a great artist but I won't get any better if I don't practise.

As for cosplay, I'm pretty excited about it, again. You'd think that last week's insane marathon of making five uniforms for our Malice Mizer N.p.s. N.g.s. -group with skipping school and sleep (and I was merely helping!) would have made me hate cosplay, but no. I desire to cosplay as Gackt again, for a better convention than Tsukicon and for more pictures. I'd also love to make one more costume this year, Ciel's Alice outfit from Ciel in Wonderland OVA, but that depends on my financial situation (which doesn't look too good at the moment) and time too, once again.

I should be sleeping already, staying up is not good for the flu, but because I'm sick I slept almost the whole day. And just now I _can't_ sleep because there was a horrible big ugly spider on my school notebook on the floor - nothing keeps you awake like decent panic attack. >__< Thank heavens playd (once again) the hero and slayed the dreadful beast.


(and I clearly need to write here more often because my English just sucks.)

Blah. I should be drawing patterns for Ciel's costume, or making a list of things to buy, or styling Ciel's wig (or Sebastian's or Finnian's), or at least starting to panic a little. Instead, I feel like drawing or wandering around dA, or picking up an unfinished book from the bookshelf. Or going through over 1200 pictures from Greece...

Well, at least I finally submitted that Loveless fanart I've been meaning to submit for a looong time.

I should get more active here in dA. But it's kind of hard since I don't have anything new to submit, blaah. I could be drawing right now but instead I'm wasting my time stalking journals of people I don't know. I could also be sleeping right now because my throat is slighlty sore and I'm not going to miss Placebo tomorrow.

And since this is the first time posting something to this journal (and since I have better things to do)...
