Between Dreams & Reality

I've been told by someone before that those who live in dreams were people who weren't happy with reality. These words triggered in my mind and made me look around me to examine whether it was true. I couldn't find an answer but I did think that...
People who enjoyed life wouldn't be found near computer games or fantasy related topics. They would be more into documentaries, news, or things that go on in the real world and what they consider to be worthwhile. Those living in a fantasy tend to block their interest of reality.

I am like that. I dream my days away into creating an unknown fantasy habit I've picked from the endless games I played and how they changed the way I look at life. Later I started wanting this dream to become true. I wanted it to exist.


What would one think of it?... Useless?...
I was a bit let down when someone walked up to me once and saw me working on an artwork he said was useless. He asked how living in a world of my dreams would help me in real life and told me to wake up. So I started thinking of how I could make him see that being an artist or taking interest in fantasy illustrations is not useless... but I couldn't find an argument that would be convincing... it is merely a hobby... something I like doing... how I could make use of it can be listed in many ways...
Only some people may not realize the value of art as much as I or any other artist would... they would ask what IS it's value?...
What do you think?

Insects!!! Creatures Of The Night?

I just came back a few mins ago from the farm... and I must say I am relieved!!... as much as the farm was made cosy and livable... there's one big issue there...Insects!!!!.... and not any kind mind you... The weirdest kinds I've ever seen!!! I've never seen such creatures before... All I've ever thought of were cocoroaches and beetles... there there were different kinds with different colors!!!
It would be the best place for investigators...
I've also seen two small scorpions so far...

But here's the mystery I figured lately...
Yesterday as I was using the laptop to wait for my acceptance results... I've been in a very weird scene... it was around 12 oclock... and my parents and brother were still awake and the place was free of strange crawling things...
However, when they all went to sleep and I was left alone still on the laptop... momentarily I was too busy typing something... and at around 1-2 oclock after mid-night... I saw them coming! By them I meant (and let me count them): 2 different types of beetles crawling freely on the floor... a spider... another type of insect I've never seen in my life... and a quite large one also crawling around all of a sudden...
You can imagine as I looked away from the laptop and down at the sudden insect park that's been created around me... I sat there watching them and thinking... why now of all times??? Do I look like an insect friend to you??? Is it a habit for insects to appear at night when we're all asleep? I dunno why it surprised me... I see insects everywhere... but they just kinda thrived and gathered in the night even more... and there I wondered... is it what they naturally do?

oh well... It was probably a sign that I should get off the net...lol... I left the living room to them...

New Fashion?

These two models I used to try some new fashion...lol... sketches of how many different girls I can draw to find the perfect look for my story's heroine... I'm still not satisfied...

I'm on the verge of drawing something else... which's taken me around 3 days so far... hopefully I'll finish it on time...

These two I did months ago... they didn't take me long at all... but just a part of my daily routines of practice...
