Well... I'm back.

"Last post April 29th 2019"

Yes, I know. And I'm sorry. There's been a lot going on, I've been through a couple break-ups, questioning my gender identity and sexuality, and this whole COVID thing isn't helping.

But that's not the reason I've been ignoring this blog. I just forget things exist sometimes.

So then, what's going on?

Well, firstly, I've been getting into making music. I don't know the first ------- thing about it, but I've been recording a couple vocal covers, and I've got a bass guitar that I'm working on.
I've done covers of "Jasey Rae" by All Time Low, "Dial Tones" by As It Is, and "Feel Good Drag" by Anberlin as of today, and they're not really all that good. the microphone I used isn't good, so my voice comes out badly, but it's not just equipment, I just suck at singing. But I have passion, okay?
As for the bass guitar I'm working on, it's nearly finished. I made the headstock, painted it, and already applied some parts. Now all that's left is to re-solder the ground wire to the underside of the pickguard, screw the pickguard on, connect the neck to the body, and string it, and then I can finally learn how to play the damn thing.

I've made some pretty big breakthroughs in the world of art! I don't have any to show, but I have made incredible progress! Firstly, I don't have to do traditional art anymore - Thanks to the laws of Hand-Me-Downs, I got a damn good drawing tablet, the Parblo Coast10. I can actually do digital drawings with this damn thing, so I can make digital art for the first time in my life! Finally!

And I think that's about it for this update, but I'll try not to forget about this blog!

Oh, also, the art that I posted to Google+ is lost to time now. Sorry.
Cheers!

A (Short) Rant About My Music Tastes

WHY DO I LISTEN TO SO MUCH CHRISTIAN ROCK? I'M NOT EVEN CHRISTIAN! I'M AN ATHIEST! AHHH!

Thank you.

So about those updates...

"Ryu! Why haven't you updated your blog in like a year?"

I was busy, okay? The good news is, though, that when Google+ hits the fan, all the drawings I posted THERE will now go HERE. (and to my Tumblr.)

Now, this isn't becoming an art blog, (That's my Tumblr.) but I do want to post more things here, and that art will be a good start.

All I know is, I haven't kept my promise on that "Updates Often!" tagline.

I'll try to fix that.

This Is My Go-To Place For Posts Until Further Notice.

As I cannot sign in to Google+.

I don't know WHY it won't let me sign in, but I just can't, so until further notice, all updates will go here.

Is that alright?
Too late, don't care.

And I have no regrets.

Haven't been active in a while. Been listening to dangerkids. That's it.

Pop-Tarts Never Taste Any Good When They're Stale.

And that's around all I have to say on the topic.

Accidentally left a Pop-Tart out overnight. It definitely did not taste the same when I woke up the next morning. That's it. I just wanted to say that. Short post, right?

(Sorry for not being active for a while, didn't find anything really blog-worthy to post.)

Some Recent Drawings I Made.

A.K.A Testing my Camera.

I've always liked to draw, however I've been drawing a lot more often recently.
So, I decided to share with the internet. Because I'm totally not going to be harshly criticized for no reason, right? Ha ha, ha...

...Hope you enjoy!
(I drew them on paper because I can't use digital art programs. They never come out as good as I want them to digitally, ALL of my drawings are on paper.)

The first Mermaid I have ever drawn. (I drew it too close to the spine.)

Another Mermaid. I like this pose, that's why I drew it.

Two Mermaids this time, wearing Novelty tail extensions in the shape of a heart. Simple, really.

An angel. I think those wings came out pretty good.
