Hello! First proper journal ever since I got back... 

Wanted to share with you Miss-Glitter's Raffle... her art's really cute, so hehe you can join if you want! >w<
<da:thumb id="419803229"/>

Anyway, how's everyone? I'm going to be so busy this December, what with vacation jobs and applying for universities, so I can only hope that I have some time to work on art and my other commitments.

I've decided to do fashion blogging properly (something I've only been doing as a hobby in the past) so check out my blog at www.whimsicalstatements.blogspot.com (: 

Finally, I'm also thinking of opening commissions for a chibi like this >> 
Frosted Flowers by hazelt1995

Just wondering if anybody is interested/what they would pay for one.

With that, have a very happy December, and Merry Christmas to those who celebrate it! :hug:

Hello! This is a new commissions journal, as I have made some new updates!

Type of Commission: Blinky Pixel Icon

Price: 100 :points:


How to Order: 

   1) Send me a note with the following: 
a. Title: Blinky Pixel Commission
b. Character Name + Reference
c. Eye Colour
d. Expression: small smile, big smile, v-shaped, straight-faced etc, c: (: <: |: 

2) Wait for my confirmation note, which confirms that you have been added to my list of commissions
3) When I am done with the pixel, I will note you again.
4) Go to my page, and request for a commission using the commission widget there. I will accept the commission, and send you the completed pixel in a note.
5) You can check the progress of your icon on this journal. I usually do them in order. For example, if the name above yours says (WIP), your commission will be done next.
6) Any other queries? Please note me, or comment below! (: 

Rules: 

1) Do NOT claim my art as yours, or remove my signature.
2) No franken-dolling or editing of any sort is allowed.
3) It would be great if you credited me in your signature if you use my icon!
4) I do not do refunds/cancellations once I have sent the confirmation note! As I can start on a pixel immediately after I send the note, chances are that if you note me after ward, I may already have done parts of your pixel. Hence I cannot entertain any cancellations, or my work will be wasted. Take note of this as it is important! 

Thank you for commissioning!

I just checked my page... and horror of horrors... I only have 2 weeks of my Premium left >< Where have the weeks gone?

The past few months have flown by pretty quickly, so I'm sad to say I haven't made the best use out of my premium membership ): I meant to customise my page and all that, but I didn't have time once school started, and all my homework spiralled into a never-ending cycle.

Runway has been very hectic as usual, and I'm super excited for our annual show, RProject. This year it is RProject 2013: Paradise Lost, and I cannot wait!

To my pixel commissioners, I'm so, so sorry for the long wait, I didn't expect my homework load to be so crazy that I would have no time to even switch on the computer.

I've finished one more pixel today, so check to see your status on my commission journal! (: I'll try to finish the rest asap, but it won't be any time soon because RProject is still not over and I am still (as always) busy.

Since the year is almost over... in just 8 hours, to be exact (the time I'm typing this is 4pm) I thought I would do a quick year-end review to round up my year 2012. I say it's going to be quick, but I just know it's going to be a long-ass post that's going to take me ages to write ;_;

I was inspired by steffne who posted a journal about all the happy/good things that happened to her in 2012. I can't say that I'll only post happy things, but I'll try my best!

Often, the bad things which happen to us overshadow the good things very easily, and when we think back, all we can remember is the bad stuff that happened to us, and it makes us think that the year has been much worse than it actually was. So I'll attempt to remember the good things which have happened to me!

January
1. In January, I moved to a new school for junior college, and while I was sad to leave my secondary school behind, this began a sort-of new chapter in my life. Plus, the junior colege was a lot nearer to my home than my secondary school was, and I felt a lot less stress in getting back home early. I didn't feel the need to run for the train as much as I had felt the need to run for the bus back home last time. I'm thankful for my very convenient and amazing timetable this year, which allowed me to leave the school at 12.30pm three days a week-- a good fortune I am hoping to still experience in the year 2013!

2. I still had a lot more time to do art in January, so I did quite a few art pieces!

Sweet Lolita by hazelt1995 AT: Suzie by hazelt1995 AT: Psst, I love you by hazelt1995 Dream by hazelt1995
The first one is a lolita picture which I'm personally very proud of. I don't know if you guys have noticed, but my chibis usually get like 2-3 times more favourites than my humanized arts do, and this one got 24 favourites. I know favourites aren't everything, and I'm also very proud of how I drew the dress and the prints on it. The second one is my art trade with :devtelly-shishi:. I tried a dynamic pose here, and I'm proud that it turned out pretty well, though it's not even really that dynamic, but I guess we live and learn! The third one is an art trade which I particularly enjoyed doing, thank you d-clua for agreeing to the art trade even though your standard is so much higher than mine. And the last is copic-work. I've always sucked at trad art, so I thought this deserved a place in my journal, brownie points even for trying! Hehe


February
3. I got into Runway, an activity club in my school, where we do fashion-design and construct our own outfits, to be showcased in our annual fashion show. It was like a dream come true for me, because I've always wanted to join the club, but in secondary school, they closed Fashion Cluster (somewhat the equivalent of Runway in my secondary school) to my batch. Though I do have unhappy memories of being in Runway, it has been an interesting and new experience for me.

4. I got to know my friendly and nice classmates, whom I'm very thankful for-- I could have gotten much worse. When I look back, I've lost the friendship of a few classmates beyond repair, and I'm not exactly on the best terms with some of them, and worse still I find myself hiding away into my own little shell and withdrawing away... but with a new year comes new challenges, so I'm pushing all the bad stuff aside and looking forward to a new, and last year with them!

March
5. I had a lot of troubles with making my outfit from scratch for Runway, because I've never sewn anything to wear before in my life. But I managed to figure out something, and in March, I was in the process of making my outfit. A tiresome but satisfying experience, even though my work was slipshod at best.

6. I was having a lot of fun in school; this was the "honeymoon" period of the year, when sitting down to lunch with new classmates was fun and caused unstoppable fits of laughter every time. It was a time when I didn't care about getting home early to spend time by myself, when I didn't care about being unhappy, when I could sit down in the canteen for an hour each day, laughing with my new friends and just being happy. At least for this short period, I was enjoying school.

April
7. Nothing eventful happened here, my outfit was still in the progress of being made.

May
8. My outfit got cut from the gala night of our fashion show because it was too drab or dull, or the seniors just didn't like it enough. I was extremely disappointed, but I consoled myself with the knowledge that at least it would still show in the first two shows. After that, a week before, I was informed that they decided to put the cut outfits back in. I was surprised, and happy.

9. We finally had our fashion show! My outfit was a black corset dress, with a silver waistband, flared skirt, and a sort of cape made of chiffon and silver organza, hooked to the elbows and middle fingers. I don't have any photos here, and I don't have my model's permission to post her photos up here either.

10. Somewhere around May, I started my own fashion blog, "hazelnut-girl". I couldn't think of a good enough name, so I stuck to this boring, egoistical title with my own name in it, haha. On this blog, I post my outfits, nail polishes, and basically almost anything I feel like blogging. I know I will never be up there with all the famous bloggers because I don't have the X-factor for it, but it makes me happy to share my fashion style and daily life with whoever reads my blog. As it is, very few do, but I'm satisfied just to post my thoughts up. Plus, it's like a diary that I can read in the future.

June
11. I only had time for one art! Another big art project was "in progress", that I only uploaded in July even though I finished it late-June. In June, even though it was the school holidays, I had to study hard for my upcoming year-end Promotional exams.

Ken'Ichi Icon by hazelt1995
In June, I made this pixel, which was the basis for my blinky pixel base, as a gift for a good friend from the forums


12. I celebrated my 17th birthday with some very special friends! Though some things have happened, and due to my childishness and pettiness, we are no longer as close, and in a sort of broken friendship, it was a good birthday for me. I had fun.

July
13. Strangely enough, I did more artworks during this non-holiday period as compared to June. Not complaining though XD

Water Warrior by hazelt1995 The Lady in Pink by hazelt1995 Icon: Smile by hazelt1995
The first is one of the very few successful painting-style arts that I've ever done... after a long hiatus, I was inspired to do this piece, and worked on it over a few days. I do like it, but I don't think painting style is something that I'm ever going to focus on, haha. The second is a piece that I'm very, very proud of. I spent an extremely long time on it, making sure the dress came out the way I wanted, and drawing the lace. (I didn't use any brushes for this piece!) I see this as a break-through in my art, because I feel it has been my best art work so far. It was for a competition, but sadly it didn't win anything and I was rather disappointed with the results of the competition, but I do still feel that this has been one of my best works, so I'm comforted. The last is a pixel I did on a bad day, around this period I got more serious about pixel art.


14. I won a dress from a giveaway by one of the online shops I follow! I was really happy and surprised haha. I also won an aztec-printed top from another blogshop. This was a month of luckiness :giggle:

15. There was an event held, for all the blogshops to come together and sell their clothes in a proper location. I was really excited, because usually you don't get a chance to try on clothes before you buy them. I went, bought a bunch of new clothes, and was happy haha.

August
16. In August, I was still busy studying for my upcoming Promotional exams, and being really, really stressed. But I'm really not the type to study a lot, so it was a tough period for me. Having to juggle the stress of seeing all my friends study really hard, and having to push myself to work harder is tough. August was a slow month.

Aika by hazelt1995
I managed to come up with this artwork for somebody whom I really admire, Kimmymanga, of her beautiful Aika. Probably one of my more successful humanized pics, it got me 19 favs. I really enjoyed drawing all the details in this pic, and I think I have made improvements in my anatomy skills. Also, I love the fingernails here for some strange reason haha!


17. I watched a movie, Brave, with my class! I rarely watch movies so this was a treat for me haha.

September
18. This was the month of my Promotional exams. I suddenly had a craving to watch any Korean drama I could get my hands on, and I would sit around in the canteen with one of my best friends from my class, moaning about our misfortune (being unable to watch dramas because it was exam period). I would then sneak home to guiltily watch K-dramas while doing revision. It didn't work out too well because I can't multi task, so I really hope this doesn't happen next year! It'd better not!

19. One of my favourite Korean actors starred in a new drama, Nice Guy. I was hooked onto it and hehe it was a time of eye candy for me! *swoons* I'm the hopeless romantic sort, just let me swoon until life catches up with me and I realize I'm an old spinster left alone on the shelf D:

October
20. This month, I uploaded a deviation which got me the most favourites I've ever gotten.  

Vienna by hazelt1995 Draw This Again by hazelt1995 Happy Halloween by hazelt1995
My OC, Vienna. I got more than 40 favourites for it, but I did submit it to a million groups haha. The second thumbnail is my first ever improvement-meme. I always say it looks like I improved a lot, because I was so lousy to begin with XD The third is my Halloween art for the year, and one of the few arts I do a background for, even if it's a simple background. I liked it!


21. I got my Promo results back somewhere around October-November, and I scored ok... Not the best I could have done, but good. I'm striving to score better, of course.

November
22. I won tickets to the KissJane@Vivocity preview, and I went just for a peep. I'm sorry I didn't get to buy anything, but it was a fun time with Jess anyway. <3

23. I got caught up with pixelling because I didn't have time to do any proper art.

Icon: Cleo by hazelt1995 Icon: Megdalena by hazelt1995 Icon: Vienna x Sonata by hazelt1995 Icon: Stormy by hazelt1995 Icon: Suzie by hazelt1995 Icon: Misaki by hazelt1995 Icon C: Twyla Archangel by hazelt1995 Icon C: Tish by hazelt1995
Some blinky pixels I made as gifts for friends, and two commissions I did. Thanks for commissioning me guys, I know I have a looong way to go before I'm any good at pixels.


24. I won a premium membership from zenx007! Thank you so much!

25. I went out with my friends for shopping, and we ended up playing in the arcade for a couple of hours. It was so fun, I haven't been to an arcade for a really long time.

26. I baked my first every cookies by myself without any help! Boy was it tiring, but so, so satisfying. I do wish I were better at baking and had more time to do it, though!

27. I created a new OC, Sonata.
Sonata by hazelt1995
I think I must be deproving, because Sonata got me 5 favourites compared to all my humanized arts, haha. I loved creating her though and I loved doing the art so it makes up for it!


December
28. I made some improvements in my pixelling skills!

Icon: Kimiko by hazelt1995 Icon C: Kimiko Yoshe by hazelt1995
Compare the first one to the second! I think I'm improving, little by little!


29. I experimented with brushes on SAI and came up with my first sucessful experiment!

The Girl in Red by hazelt1995
A gift for :devTelly-shishi:, who has always been a supporter of me and a great friend <3


30. I worked on a collab with :devtelly-shishi: which I'm very proud of!

A Stormy Carnival by hazelt1995
Thank you for working with me Telly! <3 I could never have gotten my idea drawn out so nicely if not for you!


31. I did a Christmas chibi-dump for a few of my friends and watchers!



32. I went to Bangkok for a holiday and shopping trip, and I bought a ton of clothes! I'm really happy with my buys and yay more things to blog about! Haha.

33. I watched a Korean movie in Singapore cinemas for the first ever time. And it starred the very same favourite Korean actor! It was an amazing movie, and I cried for the first time ever in a cinema. Gosh.

34. I lost 1 kg this year! :D Haha it may sound really insignificant, but I find it sooo hard to lose weight, especially because I love food so much! Even though I had to cut back on a lot of my favourite foods, I really want to lose more weight. I don't have eating disorders or anything though!

I think that must be all! :giggle: What about you guys? What are some of the best things that happened to you this year, or some of the worst, and your New Year resolutions? :D Mine would be to have more self-discipline, for sure!

Happy New Year to you all!
