Welcome to my tumblog. I draw, I bead and I geek out on video games and reality tv. Stay for the art or for the humor, you're also welcomed to leave me a (pleasant) message.
If you are here for just the art, I do reblog things of interest or make random text posts so if you have tumblr savior, please add #twinklejunk. Thankyou.

Real funny, life. Soon as I get something good, you always have to make things go disastrously wrong.

And finished.
I gave this page my 100% and it’s my best. Mistakes aside, I put in everything I love when it comes to making pages. Two tones, cel shade, colored lines and textures. No half baked stuff, no filter tricks, etc. I wasn’t lazy this time.
It took forever to do, but I just wanted to give it my best. And the time it took was worth it. I didn’t have to worry about pressures of having it done “on time”. And that’s what made it fun.
And because it was so fun, I’m going to make another. :)

2009 vs. 2013
In essence, I still suck. I’m really trying! ;-;
Seriously though, I thought my drawings would look the same, but I see the improvement. I still want to get better though! Hup, hup, hup!

Yo!
I’ll make this as short as possible but I knew things would wind up like this for a while. Firstly, I ran into some financial disasters and I had to discontinue my hosting services which means that my webcomic Seed Hunter Maggy will be offline for a while. Not forever. Just a while.
Even still, I fell into another hiatus after I finished the first chapter. And there’s a couple reasons for that.
- I don’t have the energy to push out pages once a week anymore.
- I strangely became lost with where I was going with the second chapter even though it’s fully scripted and despite that fact, I am still not satisfied with it.
- Because I’m not satisfied with it, I’m not gonna draw a puke worthy story.
- Because of thatit made my interest in continuing the next chapter next to none.
- As usual I’m having art ADD and my interest keeps flip flopping all over the place. If it’s frustrating you, it’s frustrating me even more so.
However, all is not lost. I have secured Seed Hunter Maggy a tumblr, so when it goes online again, don’t worry about changing your bookmarks. The domain will go straight to her tumblr with comics and all.
I’m grateful to my precious few who have offered to host me for free, but since I don’t see myself updating it regularly, I’ll just be a waste of space. So I’ll just take advantage of tumblr until I can get back on my feet whenever that will be.
In the meantime, I’m not giving up on things no matter what. I’ll just be shifting through my obsessions so don’t mind me. Right now since I went on hiatus for so long, I forgot how to comic so I’m practicing again. *sigh*
Thank you.
Edit: Also it seems like everybody is preparing for March Madness. Meaning, everybody will be super busy in March (including me!). So whatever your endeavors, do your best and don’t strain yourself! Let’s all work hard!

I miss drawing Kylie and her friends so I made a shaky doodle of her (darn these shaky hands). I guess my art is moving from Japan and back to the Pacific.
Actually to be honest, playing Montezuma got me back in a tribal mood…

Quick sketch of Himiko, Naomi’s best friend.
Unlike Naomi (who is easily startled by the unknown), Himiko’s curiosity and eagerness is about the size of a mountain.

Ah, my darling shoujo project. I was only able to finish about two pages before I fell seriously ill. I’ll continue to work on it more when I have the time and energy. But that’s what I wanted to talk about.
I’ll admit, I’m fickle and very wishy washy. My attention span to projects are very short lived and it’s always been like that, but I never forget them. I don’t know why I’m like this and I hate it. I lose interest in things so quickly because I’m always inspired to work on new things. It’s still hard for me to commit to one single project.
Maybe that’s just the way I am. Maybe I should accept it. But right now, it’s different. I mentioned before that I have a lot more time on my hands, but I lack energy. The time I’d like to spend creating is often spent resting or sleeping. I won’t go into details. So while I said before that I lost interest quickly, now I admit, I feel I personally don’t have time to spend on creating something on a single matter.
I have new ideas every single day. And while I’ll be dwelling on a current obsession, something else will take interest and I want to move onto that other thing. For example, a couple months ago, you couldn’t tear me away from reading shoujo manga or anime. Currently, my interest falls on drawing ninja and samurai (I don’t know WHY). And even now, I’m drawing fanart when I dropped that habit a while ago.
Each time I do something new it’s refreshing. Most importantly, I’m not holding myself back creatively from committing myself to one idea alone. Sadly if someone was following one of my current obsessions that they enjoyed and suddenly I left it to gratify myself with something else, I’ll feel like I disappoint them. But it isn’t about pleasing them, it’s about pleasing myself.
A few of my fav artists have been encouraging me through their words and actions to be true to yourself. And if you’re true to yourself then people will still enjoy you and what you do…even if you are fickle and wishy washy like me.
Time is on my side but I’m still limited with it. I don’t have as much obligations as everyone else, but every hour spent while I’m awake and energized is PRECIOUS. So if that means one day it’s ninjas, one day its fanart and another day it’s random pages of comic romance….then that’s how it’s going to be. Because I want to be happy with whatever I create.
Sorry for the wall of text. I’m still in the midst of figuring myself out artistically and how to move forward with my pitiable conditions. XD
