I think the only word to sum it up is "busy". Haha...
I've gone through a career advancement, and am settling down well in my new role so far. Also, I passed my JLPT N2 exam last year, much to my joy. I really thought I'd fail, considering it had been eons since I passed my JLPT 4 (before the levels were revised to N5 to N1). Currently preparing for JLPT N1 exam next year because I don't think I'm ready to take it this year.
Been to Japan again this year, but it's my first time experiencing in Spring and enjoying all the Sakura in full bloom! Such a wonderful experience.

I have been making costumes, but because of this huge whirlwind of a career advancement, it's really been busy.
I am photoshoot deprived, and I owe some friends some shoots too!! Argh!!!
But everything is pretty much planned out, and I'm going to start on my first shoot of this year soon. Gosh, it's already nearing the 3rd quarter of the year. Time flies. *sobs*

Other than that, I'm still engrossed with Persona Q. Already on the 2nd map of the 4th maze now, with my Persona 4 party. I'll definitely do another playthrough with the Persona 3 party after this, because yes I am biased. I love Persona 4. =p (Razz)
Speaking of which, I also need to start my second playthrough of Persona 4 The Golden.
And I haven't progressed much with htoL#NiQ too.
And... I still have other games backlogs too.

AAAAAAAHHHH

Can't wait to meet up with :iconaucifersakuya: and :iconkanariya: later!
I'll be Faneru (Moratorium) for Day 1 and Kaito (Senbonzakura) for Day 2. Day 2 will be a collaboration with :iconaucifersakuya: and other friends for the first time. Excite! =)

It's already July, and my progress so far are:

Faneru [Moratorium Album Image] = 100%, Photoshoot done, waiting for Cosfest Day 1
Faneru [Default] = 100%, waiting for photoshoot and maybe CF Day 1
Faneru [Juumensou] = 10%
Faneru [Paradichlorobenzene] = 10%
Kaito [Senbonzakura] = 100%, waiting for Cosfest Day 2, photoshoots and CF Day 2 with :iconspring-yuki:
Kaito [Pane dhiria] = 70%
Kaito [Default] = 95%
Ranma [Ranma 1/2] = 5%

Wonder if I can finish them all for this year?

I had a shoot for the モラトリウム image of Faneru this afternoon, clearing out one of the many shoots I owe Alex bro. (´ω`)
This is just part one though. For the second part, we will be doing it during Day 1 of Cosfest. And probably have a studio shoot along with default Faneru.

The weather was cloudy and cool, which is a good thing! But because it was too windy, there were some things which I had in mind that can't be done. We ran after the music scores to pick them back at least 5 times throughout the shoot. ( ´Д`)
Those will have to wait till part 2, or a studio shoot..

Omake: Fishing!
LOL. Naaah.... What happened was, bro saw this bunny strap in the waters. So I decided to pick it up. The poor bunny's fate was that I threw it at a corner of the garden and it was forgotten until bro asked what happened to it during lunch. Oops. ┐(´ー`)┌

It's great that dA now has the user name change option available. It's just as they said in their update, "We realize that as an artist, it's important to give you the ability to change your personal brand, just as you change your interests, skills, and art types."
I feel that this applies to everyone in different fields, not just artists. Everyone wants an identity of their own in whatever they do.
I didn't even realize have a dA account until 5 years later, when I tried signing up coz I was trying to view a friend's submission. I definitely had chosen my old user name based on my fandom when I signed up back then. I still do love Guilty Gear a lot, but I'd really like something that is my own identity, and not just based on one fandom out of the many fandoms I have. I didn't want to leave the account dead, and hence I continued with using kuro-ky until this option came along. I'm just very happy that dA now has this option for everyone now, and everyone can continue on with what they do without the hassle of starting over with a new account.
mika-aka is short for my name, Mikazuki Akane. *laughs*

And May is also coming to an end. One more month to Cosfest!
Cosfest preparations are pretty much done for me, except for a few minor stuff. So I've been working on my other projects at the moment.

Faneru's default image, done!
Stupid me only realized that there's a slight mistake on the sleeves' ends AFTER I threw it into the wash, thinking it's done. But ah, it's an easy fix.

Photobucket Photobucket
Default Kaito, still in progress.
So far, only the inner shirt and muffler are done. Pants still half-done and I'm left with the coat.

I haven't had any photoshoots yet. OTL
*stares at calender*
