A Thought I Had...

So, I had a thought to maybe try ordering a new pen for my tablet (they don't sell pens individually for my tablet where I live) to see if that's the problem. The pens are pretty cheap and one I found has free shipping :)  the problem does seem to be with the way the lines continue after I lift the pen, so I'm thinking (desperately hoping) that it could work. So I'll most likely be ordering that this weekend and it should come in about two or three weeks (I think?)
Also, I want to share some pictures (none were actually taken by me) of scenery from Hokkaido and Osaka!

Here is Hokkaido!

And now Osaka!

So beautiful! I think so, anyway. One of the most amazing parts of Osaka is the temples, they are so nice. Kyoto has lovely temples as well, but I like Osaka's better.
I'm going to go now, so yeah, have a good day, everyone :)

Random Thoughts, Anyone?

So, this is kind of weird, but I feel like there are a couple things that I need to put out there...
So here goes;

I've always wondered about people who name their cats or dogs things like Susan, Elizabeth, Sheldon, or John. (Similar names in Japanese; Fumio { 文夫 }, Izanami {イザナミ    }, Hokuto {ホクト}, or Shigeru { 茂  } )
Like, they must get weird looks, right?
"Susan, you've peed already, now come inside so I can go to bed!"
"Sheldon peed on the rug again."
"Elizabeth bit holes in my good loafers!"
"John climbed all the way up the drapes today!"

That just doesn't sound right...

Anyway, sorry. That was just something that randomly came to mind. I dunno, I just had to say it.
Feel free to follow me on Tumblr ( http://shigeruhoriuchi.tumblr.com/) or not, whatever. I'm pretty boring anyway.
Goodnight/morning/afternoon/whatever!

Love~ Shigeru (The Cat Lord)

P.S: Just as I was about to finish typing my name, I knocked over my bag of sourdough pretzel bits and they spilled all over my bed, so I had to take off all my bed sheets and go shake them out on the balcony of my apartment...
This, my dear people, is why you sit at a desk whenever you can!
I sit on my bed and yet my desk is right there?

I took this from my bed, my desk is so close! Why do I do this to myself?! My neighbours think I'm crazy!!

Also, my hair got in the way of the picture, sorry :)

Goodnight for real, this time!

Notice Of Hiatus

So, the universe hates me.

Now that I'm feeling better, my tablet has decided to stop working D:

The pen continues to pick up on where I'm moving it even after I've lifted it from the tablet and it's just awful. I can barely use it anymore, and will probably have to buy a new one. Which sucks because they don't carry the tablet I use at the store I went to anymore. All the other ones are way more expensive and I really can't afford (literally) to be spending unnecessarily, but I also don't want to be without a tablet because digital art is one of my favourite things to do.

The current tablet I have is one of the first things I bought when I came to Canada, it was on sale for 49 dollars (Canadian) which, compared to the usual 70 dollar price, was an amazing deal, but the tablets they have there now are all upwards of $100.

Ugh, I'll probably just take on some extra shifts at work until I can afford it without losing anything from my savings? I hate this, to be honest, and I'm sorry for venting here like this, but I can't really complain to Elliot because he can't take me seriously because of the way I talk, so here it is, haha.

I swear, though, as soon as I get a new tablet, I'll update right away!

For now I've got to go to work, so yeah, bye for now :)

D:

I'm so sorry, I know I said that I would post a comic last night, but I fell asleep. (Yes, at 7:30.) The stress I've been putting on my body finally caught up to me. I'm not very healthy to begin with, I've got a very poor immune system as well as asthma and a mild lung disease so I get sick very easy, and lately I've been really busy, between work, online courses, and this I haven't been sleeping much. So last night, I just kinda crashed with my laptop on my bed, Elliot had to come in and wake me up so I could go to sleep properly. I've booked some time off work to rest because I'm just done for a while, but I'll get the comic finished up regardless, it's almost done and won't take much more time. Sorry about that, guys. I might take a bit of a hiatus from posting for a while until I'm feeling better, but if I do I'll probably still post some sketches and whatnot. Anyway, I'm going to go get some sleep, so goodnight :)

Okay, Wow. I'm Back...

Hey, long time no me. So today I've got two posts! One is this one, introducing the new way I'll be drawing myself and the other is a comic.
So, I've decided to change up the way I draw myself because I realized that I draw myself way cooler than I actually am, so the new avatar is more accurate to how I actually look, haha. (Sort of)

I just realized that I have really girly writing.... Ah well, see you soon in the comic!!
