It is 4th of September today. In 1827 it was the day that Turku, the largest city of Finland at that time, was almost completely destroyed in a fire. In 1870 french emperor Napoleon III was dethroned and French Third Republic was born. In 1985 the first fullerene molecule of carbon was discovered. In 2010 this blog was found.
...Well, even if it's quite underwhelming when compared to the events before, I'm pretty sure all other small things have gone unnoticed on this date through the years. It may not be written in history books, but I hope it can bring joy to some people during it's lifetime (for example to me, at least. :)
The Beginning
From the start of this semester, I've noticed I've been drawing quite a lot during the lessons, in my school notebooks. Of course I've done it before, but now it seems more common. And as I came to notice that I seem to draw better at school than at home (wonder if it's the desk or something else), I wanted to share my drawings. But because they are on notebooks, they're coated with an appropriate amount of squares. I didn't dare to put kind of incomplete art on sites like deviantArt, but then I thought of the fact that I draw a couple of pics almost every day. A blog was probably an appropriate platform.
Even though the notebook is wasted when talking about it's original purpose, it will gain significance here!
The Point
So, the point of this blog is to share my "schoolworks". Of course a blog isn't a place to just dump in any crap, so I won't post everything and I'm confident they're clear enough even with squares to be published somewhere. Plus, all won't be from notebooks. Sometimes I'll post something from clear white paper.
Another point is of course to gain some attention with my drawings. You readers serve another good purpose, which is giving your five cents about the pictures. I would also like to finish the pictures which get most thumbs up. And see if I can take the next step, maybe sell them at a convention in the future?
What to expect
My drawings are mostly manga style fanart drawn with pencil, so people who don't like it, don't get your hopes high. Though I might do some alternate art sometime. I do have original art as well, and plan to make a comic of my own sometime.
And before someone asks, my favourite series are for example the When They Cry -series (Umineko and Higurashi), so except a lot of them. I'm open for suggestions though. However, I can't refer to characters I'm not familiar with at school, so they'll be done on my "freetime" ;D
I hope you'll enjoy, and let your opininions be heard!
Cheers. o/
