Shockingly, I'm actually not deceased, despite the rather extended period of time since I spoke to *anyone* on dA. If I've commented on your stuff in the last year, consider yourself singled out for high honour

One of the multitudinous demands of my university degree (a physics major) is that while it's happening, I don't have time to do any Real Art- or anything else, for that matter. However, I'm a compulsive doodler, so I carry a small sketchbook at all times in my classes in the hope of keeping my actual notes relatively clean.

Prompted by some friends I'm posting a few of the better pickings from this semester's doodles, as well as a couple of drawings I did whilst putting off studying once exam period rolled around.

A significant portion of the more 'artistic' ones were prompted by the emotional rollercoaster of having a raging crush on one of my apparently unattainable classmates. Amazing what a bit of basic hormonal angst will do for your art, isn't it? As it turns out, he wasn't unattainable, but that's beside the point. The drawings happened and some of them were even a little different from my generic usual.

I'm on holidays now, but I'm so busy having a good time that I'm not going to promise any regular updates at all- although I'm determined to finish that bird for Annie/Binny and continue the request series.

Well and truly alive.
