Thank you for 100,000 pageviews! I am really busy, so it's hard for me to respond to comments and faves, but I really appreciate your support. I kind of caught my own pageview, though, so I will just draw something original. Suggestions? ;

I turn 21 tomorrow. Man, I'm old. Guess I'll get through two shots and then pass out in bed, haha. I think I'll sketch out my kiriban tomorrow. Still wondering who to draw!

I don't know how it's happening, but even with less classes than ever, I find I have more on my plate! I think it's because I'm coding for research, TAing 3D Modeling, trying to re-structure our school's SIGGRAPH chapter, networking at conferences and on-campus recruiting events, and enrolling in swing and ballroom dancing lessons. @_@;;; And here, I thought my life would get easier! At least I get compensated for my work - don't need to worry about going broke soon.
Oh, last week, my submatriculation got accepted. So, by the end of 2010, I should have a master's degree in Computer Graphics and Game Technology. Haha, I'll be the age most people finish their undergrads~!

As expected, my art muse is coming back, now that I have more to do, haha! And the intense programming has just started. Hopefully, I'll have time to make stuff to post, but - other than commissions - it'll probably be 3D or somewhat related (turnarounds, etc.). Rivek's always been my lucky charm in terms of character design, so hopefully if I put him through a full physical re-design, he'll get me a job. I also really want to do some gallery-quality work (the Prince project, the Grey comics) and enter some higher-profile (ie - not Gaia) competitions. I guess after that, I'll get around to making my Flash game (Otakon Trail).

In summary, I'm doing pretty well, I just don't have much time to spend online. And I have much more inspiration than I know what to do with!

If you would like to add me on Facebook (where I am an avid Mafia Wars player, haha) or Twitter, I am "Grace Fong, UPenn '10" and "gphong", respectively. Please tell me who you are, or I will not accept.

ARE YOU LOOKING FOR HOUSING? Also - We still are looking for people who would like to rent a house in central NJ, minutes outside of Rutgers's Piscataway campus - in a lovely residential neighborhood, no less. The rent is $1500/month. It has 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 1 kitchen, a dining area, and a living room area. The driveway can hold two cars, but there is near-infinite curbside parking. Pets are negotiable.
