God. It feels so weird not having posted anything in a while...

Hi friends ( ⸝⸝´ ᵕ `⸝⸝) Sorry I've been MIA for a while. Now that summer is here, more socializing has begun; I didn't get to draw at ALL last week and it was killer ˙◠˙ And I'm once again busy this weekend; it's really difficult trying to keep up with all of life's responsibilities when all I wanna do is draw and world-build. Especially with the Final coming so quickly.

And NO, I haven't seen spoilers. I want to avoid any at any cost. I'm an animator by trade, and I want to pay proper respects to those who worked so hard on it. Gonna see it in theatre as intended, so please, don't share anything with me on the matter until then ♡

But yeah, finally finished my big drawing for a TADC project I'm working on, have one more big one I wanna draw, and finally this sneak-peek Caine above is for something I'm planning as a tribute. I'm not gonna finish the animatic in time like I had originally hoped, but it's fine (ᵕ—ᗜ—)

I miss drawing for Asks. I have a few still in my inbox that I desperately want to address. Thank you to those who have asked and are being so patient, I promise I have read them and will respond to them properly once I finish up these bigger projects (ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)ꕤ.ﾟAnyways, sending love to you all, I hope you're well. I miss you guys (•́ ᴖ •̀) Feel free to interact whenever, I love hearing from you all! Hopefully in the coming days I can post more process work and try to be more active here ( ⸝⸝´꒳`⸝⸝)♡

In other news! I'm going to a nerdy convention this weekend, I'm really hoping I can grab some TADC merch to add to my growing collection hehe ♡⸜(˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶)⸝♡

LORD I'M BEHIND

I know this may not seem like a lot, but I had stupidly set my own goal of trying to draw something for each Ask I received. But some of y'all have asked some really good questions that make me wanna draw whole comics for. And as more start to roll in and personal life seems to eat any free time I have, I'm thinking I might have to change my own rules (◞ ‸ ◟ )

To those who asked me questions weeks ago, I'm so sorry it's taken this long. I promise I'm going to get to them, just the Finale interrupted my workflow and I wanted to finish the 'Abstraction comic' while it was still fresh. Luckily I have some time off, so I'm gonna try and draw and answer as many Asks as I can to clear out my inbox a bit! And some Asks I might just answer with no drawing/a quick messy sketch. I wish I could do more, but it seems time is not on my side, and I already feel bad making people wait as long as they have. I don't want people losing interest (｡•́︿•̀｡)

Anyways, thanks for sticking around and for your patience (ㅅ; v ;) Bonus drawings and explanations for the 'Abstraction comic' will be coming out on Friday, so stay tuned! ♡ Forehead kisses if you read this far hehe (˵˘ ³˘˵)

*Emerges from my den*

I realize I've been quiet for a while and thought I should update! Been busy in my spare time working on a special piece ♡ I can't share the full thing just yet, but I seriously can't wait to show y'all one day hehe! ( ⸝⸝´ ᵕ `⸝⸝)

I have a couple more big projects I want to try and accomplish before the Finale. Another big drawing, a Thank You drawing for the crew, and an animatic (๑﹏๑//)

.... IF I CAN SWING IT HAHA WE'LL SEE! ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

So there might not be more posts for a while yet, as I really only have weekday evenings to draw... I hate being an adult

Thank you for your patience and understanding! I miss y'all, hope everyone is well ♡(˃͈ ˂͈ ) And even if I'm not posting, I'm still around browsing, so feel free to engage! ♡

update shit lol ,

jan 2017- happy new year fuckers, kinda late but oh well better than never ! being home was nice but very busy kinda happy im back at uni ive missed everyone here. Christmas was okay, nothing much to say 

Uni is more difficult with essays due and other stuff, only to have one of my teachers reported and him not telling us that we have 3 assessments to do by march so thats a little stressful? ugh

mentally- hahahahahahahah im getting bad panic attacks again, i havent had one in a while and ever since having them at uni, ive had them more ? ive been feeling lower than normally but im sure in a few days ill be okay

and another thing is im kinda talking to someone? hehe nothing much yet but he seems lovely and I like talking to him so much, and now we have planned to meet soon :) idk hes different to the guys i normally talk to its weird, i hope it works out

lmao another update woo 

Nov 2016- Holy shit I’m stressing out, all this work is more difficult than I thought, its all getting too much but I'm getting there slowly.... I think. I mean, my first sociology paper I got a 2:1 which is similar to a B? idk I need to learn the grading and what they mean. But with law, I don’t know..... it's like something completely new to me, its like learning a new subject even though i studied it at college ????? but the teachers say it will all settle in soon. 

With regards to friends, where the fuck do I start? They are all so lovely but the amount of drama that has kicked off is shocking, but then what do you expect when the majority of the people are here are girls so ofc drama/bitchness will happen ( i don't mean to sound bad but like come on girls always bitch) I heard shit said about me and I stood my ground. I’m just sick of the drama tbh.  And with boys lmao I’m happy to be single but at the same time, I wouldn't mind being in a relationship yknow? like I wanna experience what you get in a relationship and have someone actually have an interest in me. But whatever I’m just gonna wait, can't force it lol

I’ve discovered that I love to go out clubbing haha , I’m a party girl but im too broke at the moment to go out, its literally either going out or food? but food always wins

With myself mentally? I don’t know, I’ve a few moments of just crying and breaking down bc of all of the stress?? I’m at a stage where I constantly feel sleepy and I feel down and more shitty about myself, it normally happens tho but it only lasts for a few days, however, its lasting for a little more than a week? I think its just me being very homesick... only a month to go then I get to go home for Christmas, I miss my family, I miss home cooked food and I miss my cats to death, I cannot wait to see them and cuddle them so much

[coverupandsmile]

i dont use this blog but im gonna start keeping little notes every few months bc i wanna see if anythings changed lmao read if ya want but ye

Oct 2016- uni is fucking amazing, I've made the most amazing friends I’ve ever had. The intro lectures have been great, all my teachers seem to be all friendly  freshers week has been sick! my flatmates are all so lovely, couldn't if ask for better flat mates!! never been this drunk in my life lmao. I miss home a lot, homesickness has hit a few times, i miss my cats so much and I miss all my old friends but honestly im happy i left that horrid town, i finally feel happy. I do still get my odd days of feeling down and shitty but i get through it slowly. I've been 5 months clean and im proud of myself ! hopefully this will be the year im a year clean. 

But last night/this morning i feel a little shit(and very hungover) tho, i made out with this guy i only met last night and this morning i found out that he is fwb with this girl i only met as well last night, i feel guilty about it, fuck knows whats gonna happen.

but honestly I’m happy I came to this uni esp that its so far from home, feeling the sense of independence (idk if that makes any sense oops) and god pray for me when I start my course tomorrow its gonna be a tough (but great) 3 years lol.

Happy new year 2015!

Can you believe it was around this time last year that The LIL Project was brought over from the U.S. and established in Melbourne? What a long way we have come. All our efforts would not have been possible without you!

Between April and November 2014, we hosted four PARTY FOR LOVE events. Each event rallied a mixed crowd of passionate supporters, and we have uplifted a sub-culture of giving and goodwill! (Thank you for the comments and messages to our Facebook page, we do read them, and you inspire the project!) Now over this short period of time, together we have raised a total of $4532.77 for improving educational facilities and orphanages in impoverished communities. Let's keep this up!

2015! Let us continue working hard and spreading the love for bigger and better things to come- For yourself, each other, our community, and the world!
