I couldn't drop by everyone's tables to say hi even though I knew who's who because I was too shy. uhhh;;

I've been quite busy with many things lately, both school and art related,
so I'm really sorry I can't reply to every comment like I tried to do a while ago ; - ;

Onto specific topics...!
School
Hissss midterms = - =
This year's geology courses are basically...building on from the stuff we learned in first year!
There are definitely a LOT of rocks and naming to do, and a LOT of structures and processes to know...
overall i think it's pretty decent! (minus having 2 midterms every week for a month OTL;;

One of the most exciting part of second year was going on the field school for 5 days in BC and a couple of days in my city!
The weather was absolutely beautiful in BC ; w ; This is Kootenay lake (basically in someone's backyard ww)

Raindrop's Notes #01 :Rebuilding the Rain
Hello guys!
I decide I will create this 'Raindrops Notes' every once in a while to update things and thought happened with Raindropmemory.
Alright, start from today, No.1! (and Thank you for your attention as always)

When I look at all of my works lately, even I feel good that I have various style, one thing still bother me.
It still lack of story, I mean, unified story. In order to strengthen the identity of Raindropmemory, I decide that I have to create strategy and system for my future work, like good artist should do. No more aimlessly work.

FAQ me, question time!Because I've been answering 80596918 times the same questions, lemme put the anwers down 'ere and answer no more.
Edit: here are the answers : ) sometimes I gave it more thought/shortened to make more sense than in comments. Sometimes I changed the questions and cut my blabbery to make a concise FAQ. Sorry for that!
---------TECHNICAL QUESTIONS---------
1. What program do you use?
It's been Painttool SAI for everything recently. I used Artrage and Photoshop before.
2. What brushes/brush settings do you use?

3. How long does it take to draw single illustration?
I should be answering this question under every deviation, I know, but I suck at artist's comments and usually it's just hard to tell O.o for paintings it's 8-10hrs for not-so-detailed rendition, and 20+ for fully rendered illustration. For Example:

10 hours

20 hours
(probably more, I've been working on that illust on and off. The stick itself took me

_{Generation 6 starter gijinkas I doodled!!}

Hi everyone!! I'm sure most of you already heard about the new generation by now?? ^o^ (and if you haven't, here is a link to more information about it provided by serebii: [link] )
what are your opinions on what was released so far and what do you look forward to/wish for in the new games? whether it's positive or negative, I'd like to hear it!

personally I think it all came a bit fast (or that's what it felt like) but I am excited for more details nonetheless!
_{also I..... I want Fennekin or Froakie................ really bad.... //// and Yveltal is REALLY awesome!}
