Slight change with my streaming! I am currently trying out a new platform for my creative stuff, so you can find me during the week on picarto.tv/MsVilecat from 1pm to 5pm EST. As I am writing this, I'm planning on making a Bowser cosplay starting this Monday the 23rd. You could say it's my first delve into the world of fursuiting, as the Bowser cosplay will be very similar in conception.

You can still follow me on Twitter @MsVilecatShoppe or on FB at [MsVilecatShoppe] to stay in touch with my most recent endeavors. I do accept commissions for kigurumis , and soon, for fursuiting. You can reach me at either of these or at msvilecat@gmail.com.

New Beginnings

1 min read
Welcome!

This is a new start for this DA page after years of neglect. I am planning on taking commissions and selling my works, so why not use DA to feature all of it? I will post pictures of my projects and hopefully also patterns and howto to share with others, as long as I remember to take pictures during each steps.

I am very hopeful this time around, as previously I tried to keep this account up with undiagnosed mental illnesses and the combination basically made it impossible to stick to a schedule.

You can stay in touch with me and my various projects not only here, but also on many various sites:
twitch.tv/Vilecat
twitter: @MsVilecatShoppe
Tumblr: msvilecat
facebook.com/MsVilecatShoppe
www.etsy.com/shop/MsVilecatShoppe

I currently stream on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 1pm through 5pm EST and I do a lazy Sunday stream (playing videogames) from 4pm to 6pm EST

Hey there!

After a lack of internet in the last weeks, I'm finally back. Seems like it's impossible for the school dorms to have a stable connection, but that's ranting I'll keep for my fellows in class ;)

I will keep my word this time and post some of my art from last semester. Things went smoothly after all, I obtained every good grades on all but one class (the cursed one). One of the final projects was on creating a logo for the university radio in Rimouski, a city between the one I'm currently studying with and my hometown. I still don't get why, but my project has been selected along with 7 others -on a total of 44- as one of the possible choice. I personnaly don't find it would be the best, but then again maybe I've looked at it too much. And graphic designers generally have this bad self-depreciation habit versus their works.

Enough about being sorry for myself. I'd speak about this year's projects, but since this will surely turn my journal into a novel, I'll save it for another day. So instead, let's talk about my kickass holidays since it includes MAGFest. Family reunion was enjoyable as always and it gave me the chance to get more accustomed to my digicam settings. I then visited my godparents for New Year, and met my cousin's newlyfounded family for the first time in 3 years. Her kids are adorable, but the "Why?" phase of her boy was killing me. A few days after, it was finally time for me to take the plane to Virginia for MAGFest. Two words: fucking awesome. I had a great time all weekend even with the severe lack of sleep, met a shitload of people -and barely remember half of people's names, RL and screen/nick- and did I say I had a great time there? Jamspace was a new part they added to the event this year, and it did more than meet expectations. Not only they're bringing it back next year, but they'd like to make it bigger (the scene wasn't big enough for the electronic drum to be set on it). People there gave mini improvised concerts there while there was nothing happening in the Concert room. I visited some panels and other rooms too, played some old school games and met even more people. I also took a bunch of pics you can see here img.photobucket.com/albums/v31…
Not sure if I'll go next year, because a thousand bucks isn't easy to come by. We'll see what happens, but no matter what, I'm definitely going back in the future.

Look at me, it's turning into a novel again, tsk... Anyway, still got some school work to finish, research to do, an oral presentation about a board game we had to do for my english class(lol) and a little side-job I've been able to find. Finally, I'm truly happy to have finally kicked myself in the ass and started working on my colouring skills with my tablet. It's about time I stop being jealous and envious of other people's works and do something to fix that.

Head rush

2 min read
These last few days were more ectic than I expected. And quite headache-inducing for different reasons.

I've been running around all week to get work done for the days to come. I'll be handing in all the semester's final projects. First one to be done with was this morning. Skull-splitting headache hasn't helped me at all, but I'm quite proud of the result. Let's hope it won't tag along all weekend long.

First time I tried coconut rhum yesterday, and I almost regretted it today (see above). Also, consuming anything with milk the morning after isn't the best way to calm one's aching tummy. I felt like throwing up for the next hour. I suggest soup instead, it's safer and easy to stomach. Nevertheless, beside this little cranberry juice/coco rhum semi-abuse, the party was truly fun. It was a great way to relax and learn more about all the buddies I'm studying with.

For my defense, I have to point out I've never really been a strong liquor drinker,  but more of a beer person (stout and ale!). And I've also had some of the best pastas ever in ages, thanks to a good friend of mine :D

Now it's time for me to sleep. I unfortunately have some house cleaning to do all day, and a car to draw. One last tip: don't forget to drink water if you plan on getting drunk and have sinusitis. Otherwise you'll wish for your brain to explode. And last I heard, willing to bang one's head on a concrete wall wasn't the healthiest option to be found...

What did I say again last time? I can't believe I haven't posted in ages. But then again I can, and i'm not necessarly proud of it.

Summer's been quite enjoyable for me. Well from what I remember outside work and WoW (they were both fun too, but not that much). I did buy a digicam for myself, a Kodak EZShare 7.1 megapixels with the equivalent of a x12 optic zoom. It also has lotsa nifty features to toy with, which is even better. It makes great pictures, I just need to know how to make them more interesting. Same with my graphic tablet, a Wacom 3 Intuos 6x8 like I wished for. Unfortunately I've run out either of ideas or time to fully test it out, my best attempts at experimentation resulting in sketchy doodles made in Flash. And it's not during the holidays that I'll have the time to try it out more.

Which brings me to talk about MAGFest(Music And Games Festival). Yes, I'm totally flying to Virginia this winter just so I can meet a whole bunch of nerds and geeks with similar interests and hobbies. In other words, it's gonna be a blast! I'm planning on taking as many pictures as I can there with Salty, an amateur photograph who isn't so amateur after all (and a soon-to-be chef!). I'll end up sharing a room with 4 crazy lads at the hotel where the convention takes place. Here's the site if you're curious www.magfest.org

This school year has mainly been on advertisement and promotion of products. I'm still enjoying my classes, except one, but that's a long story filled with bad lucks and such, and that's a great sign for me. I'm a bit insecure for the future, like where will I work once I'm done with school, but I know I'm talented enough to get a job once I graduate (not getting the big head but I can't start saying I'm a loser). Just to tell you how exciting I find my studies, I already want to know what will be my schedule for the next semester.

After I'm done with my classes, I'll be on campus for almost a week before I go home. I won't have any excuse then when it comes to showing my projects. I really want to draw again, more than logo concepts for X company or Y product. And get something different to put in my portfolio next year! Well, hoping to...



And I really need to either make journal entries more often or seriously cut on the ranting, or both.
