Life has been beyond crazy for me since mid 2011. Many of my original waters could attest to my severe decline from almost 50 submissions of actual art to the current state of something every month if you're lucky. I have recently however gotten back into the artsy fartsy old school doodle nitch. As soon as I steal one of my scanners from my parents, you'll get some fun stuff on here. I have been posting doodles as well as WIPs of the art and costumes I've been working on to my twitter whick I'm @TinaMickel on there.

I had a really rocky living situation since mid summer last year, but finally got that settled now that I'm in my own place with my lovely girlfriend Danielle. We just hit a year and a half on the 11th. 8D

I've been doing costume work as much as possible and as much as I've fallen in love with a character. Since the beginning of 2012, I've done Zora Link, Korra season 1 , AN Korra, Cloud, Fire Nation Toph, Misame Amaha, Yami Bakura, Vincent , and Cheshie from Pandora Hearts. I'm sure there are a few more here and there but theres that list anywho.

My actual job life isn't the greatest. During the day I'm a boring cashier at my boring job but outside of that, I've been pushing in the Voice Over field.
In 2012 I recorded lines for the character Vanessa for the online game mod Zombie Panic: Source! I am also a regular member on the Fary Tail and Konoha Corner Podcasts so I get reglar voice over stuff from that. Lastly, I just recently landed the lead roll for a web series which I'm really excited for! I can't wait to post more on that!


All in all though, the bit I'm trying to get across is that I'm sadly not on here as much as I'd like to, at least not now because of my current full time job. Theres not enough time in the day to do what I need to on here as well as co -ordinate so many projects, costumes, etc without losing all my hair. I hope things pan out soon because I miss all of you guy!

I want to get back to the cosplay photoshoots, get back to the music videos, and most importantly get back to enjoying what I love!


I'm signing off now though. If any of you lovely people are going to the Alabama Phoenix Festival this upcoming weekend, send me a note! I'd love to meet up and such! Keep an eye out for panels in the Anime Track. I'll be amuck there through out the weekend.


Take care! Look forward to hearing from you amazing people!

P.S.- Twitter is the best way to keep up with me. Seriously. That thing gets some serious brutal love from me. XD
