Woah, pretty inks!!!

MY GOD THEY'RE LOVELY!

I got the inks for our Womanthology project! They are AWESOME O_O
Congratulations to Avgi Kanaki. She is awesome.
Next in line is colour! Our colourist is Elli Moka, and I am pretty sure her work is going to be awesome too.
Am I overusing the word 'Awesome'..? Nope. Don't think so.

Apart from staring at Avgi's inks, I am currently studying for Pharmacology and playing with my stitches. Pencils for my personal project will have to wait until the end of September, as I found out I will have to sit for 7 extra exams in order to have the right to attend second year when I go back to AKTO. (comic college)
If, for any reason, I don't pass all 7 exams this year, I will have to attend first year again when I go back.
Perfect?

Yup.

OFF I GO!

Till next time!

Vacations are over! At least I'll have the scar as a souvenir.

Hello people!

After finishing the Womanthology pencils while on family vacations, I was free to join some friends at their summer house, totally free of any responsibility..! And I had a great time, despite a nasty cut I got myself.

Have you seen how the windsurfing boards have a triangular thingie for stability..? The fin or skeg, for those who know... Well, I hadn't seen it. As I was clumsily yet decently windsurfing, the wind pushed me to the coast. Not wanting to hurt anybody I stopped, climbed off and started pushing it to the shore. Little did I know that it was shallow enough for the keg to find my foot and that it was sharp enough to somewhat slice it.
I then got stitches. Four of them. Actually, slicing my foot didn't hurt. Neither opening the wound and removing some seaweed at the spot. The worst part was cleaning the wound at the hospital and stitching the skin back together until the anesthetic kicked in. To avoid thinking about the pain I started talking to my friend who was by me all the time. She's never heard a human talk this fast ever before.

Thanks Sissy :)

After that, somewhat sad for not being able to swim or windsurf or walk properly, I had a blast. :) We ate sea urchins the men of the family collected at the beach, we played cards, celebrated my birthday with BBQ (the juiciest steak EVER O.O)(And delicious fish)
I also got a yellow angry bird plush! :D

And this is how I celebrated my birthday. :)

Till next time!

PS: The cut could have been a hundred times worse. Luckily, no tendons, muscles, nerves, veins or arteries were cut. My toes are fully functional and it doesn't hurt (when I don't walk). I will take off the stiches in two weeks' time.

PS2: DUDE, I am now 21 O_O

Toothache and penciling.

It's only ironic to have toothache when you study Dentistry. But fact is, I've had way too much chocolate in my life to get away with it. I only hope I don't have to redo any fillings or have any root canal treatments.

To the point..! I've been pencilling and pencilling. I won't hide the fact that I dislike perspective panels, but I still try my best... Oh, I also feel unconfident about drawing cars, but everything can be done with reference. Here's a little sample of what we want to end up with:
I like it. :)
Inks by Avgi Kanaki, thanks for collaborating!

Other than that, I am having a great time away from Athens. I go swimming and stuff. The sand here is dark, almost black, but the sea is great, and I get to keep working.
Have you ever seen quarz pebbles? They are beautiful, and the place is full of them.

I also got my schedule for this semester-it's 8 to 5 every. day. And I can't skip almost any of the classes, so... I feel like I can give up as soon as university starts again. Last year has been stressful enough, attending two universities at once, and I don't know if I have any strength or willpower left to keep up with everything.

Till next time,
K.
