Sorry for the hiatus! Now that school has started, all of my crafts have come to a complete standstill... =(
Until recently! (dun dun dunnnnn)
I celebrated getting over my first midterm with a few Perler and clay adventures. And bubbletea, but that's a completely different story. I'll talk about the clay creations later once I finish them up. They still need to be glazed and prettified. <3
As for the Perlers, I whipped up a sprite of Ultros, one of the antagonists from Final Fantasy 6:

| He's making his own, tentically ":3" face... <=D |
I know I've mentioned my love for this game before (it is my absolute favourite!) and now I'm going to expand on that elaboration. The antagonists in this game were spot-on. One of the reasons this game was so damn enjoyable was because the bad guys was a funny octopus dude (Ultros) who doubled as a receptionist on his down time and a crazy-assed psycho (Kefka). Their appearances, as well as some of the other antagonists that make cameos, make the game so easy and enjoyable to play. I'm so thankful that the creators did an amazing job with the plot and the antagonists in this game...
Buuuut I digress. ^^;
The other sprite I made was one of the adorable Spikey-eared Pichu that you can catch in the Pokemon games:
This project only confirmed a couple of things for me:
- I need more shades of yellow. As it is, this is a shiny Pichu. A Pichu with the spikey ear can only be caught in an event. She's rare enough... and I just added another element to the mix. ;______;
- I need more shades of grey. The ears and tail do look okay, but I think with a shade of grey just in between the black and the one I have now, it would be perfect.
I think he's cute, and he's on my mantle with his buddies Articuno and Thor (a plushie I bought my boyfriend). I really miss doing my crafts, that's for sure... I hope I can have some time to do them on my weekends. I left my job (I used to work at a restaurant) where I would work on Sunday and Tuesday evenings, so I have time freed up. Unfortunately for me, I filled up some of that time with work at school in the form of tutoring and notetaking for people with disabilities. They're the most rewarding jobs ever, by the way.
Oh, and then I study. A lot... @.@
Anyway... I'll keep you posted on the clay figures. I also made another keychain for a friend (Victini from Pokemon!), so stay tuned! :3
