Illustrator Slash Dreamer: Hidupku Sudah Tak Kacau Lagi.

Kamarku... masih.

Thanks God, after almost a week of sleeping 1-3 hours per day I can finally reunite and catch up with my 4 buddies : the bed, the pillow, the bolster, and the blanket. And being able to blog again is gwwweeeeeaaaattt.

So here's the summary : I actually started making my image book very early, even much earlier than my classmates, ready to do my best for God, planning the pages, plotting the stories, happily drew pieces by pieces, it was super fun, then things started to go wrong when I started putting colors.

Kyaaaaaa I felt that the colors I put really ruined the whole look - okay, never mind, I printed again, colored again, wrong again, stressed, printed again, put other colors, still looked wrong, frustated, it wasted a lot of time and paint - ruined the schedule - pressed the panic button. God what should I do?

Wahlao. It's me. I was frustrated.

Age : 21

Occupation : Art student

Major : Illustration

But cannot color lehh how aaa?

Thanks God, one by one, each problem's solved with Divine intervention.

2 Corinthians 12 : 9, But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power my rest on me.

I was then happy with the colors, but I was running out of time - the schedule I made was ancur. I had to finish everything in less than 5 days. In those days I felt like going back to (the difficult times of) foundation year. Langit runtuh. Bumi berhenti berputar. Hokben tetep enak. Hidup kacau.

Nah my poor interior roommate was also having assessment so our room became a complete mess - so messy that we sometimes had to work outside and made it messy too. Sorry yah housemates, hidup kami sedang berantakan. Kamar kami juga. Ga sempet luluran, meni pedi, cream bath, apalagi beresin kamar kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Oh our pre- and post- assessment bedroom.

Comfortably ARTISTICally Messy.

Doing black and white was so much easier..

In the middle of the night, around 3 days before deadline, we really didn't have any second to stop nor energy to go out, but we're starving - thanks God for 24hours McD outlets - we stepped outside for late dinner. Mei also joined the war in our place.

It was fun, we had great laughs, the McNugget student meal with curry sauce was finger-licking (loh???). But I had never felt this uneasy sitting in McD.

We were stressed, depressed, young, pretty, and single.

I seriously didn't know how could this assessment be so stressing, *hmmfh partly blaming the broken printer and the absence of wacom tablet.* Something wrong with the colors, then the scanner, then what? Something wrong with my cutting skill la! Hahahaha.

My craft(wo)manship is (still) lousy. Since kindergarten.

Wow my desktop's so "happening". Chaotically full of untitled folders here and there.

Spent literally hours in printing shop. Now that place is kinda traumatic.

Ow. Kay. Another miracle from God : despite all the problems, it's done, in the dawn - on the set-up day. Only by Your grace, Lord.. only by Your grace..
