Anyone whom tried to visit the website in the last few months would have noticed that they were unable. Unfortunately, the server under my last host finally went out, trapping my files with it. Despite a combination of awkward timing and attempting to locate my most recent backup files, alas, it has risen from the dead.

 

Now, to repost lost things and get up to speed. A preview of something I did which will be revealed in the future.

(more…)

If anyone had tried visiting little-lam the past week, they might have noticed that it was down.
However, it was for the better. For the past week, I have set about moving the site to a new server and restoring everything. The previous server’s downtime was ridiculously enormous (enough to cause a nuisance on days when I just want to update). The site should be up and load a lot more quickly now.

I have also mentioned the previous week that my  boyfriend and I have been brainstorming monster concepts for an idea of his. We’re both very much into monster-collecting games so this was inevitable. In fact, he surprised me after work the other day with Yokai Watch. Although the concepts are based on miniatures sculptures of his, I would rather leave it up to him to upload them as they belong to him. I am also refraining from explaining the entirety of the project since it’s his idea. Below are only some of what we have come up with, while we also work on their alternate fusions. We intend to cover the entirety of this wall.

And of course, business cards have finally arrived!
Introducing a redesign of the initial design…

The new illustration is also available as a phone case and greeting cards in my Redbubble store!
More things will be coming in the future. As for the business cards themselves, there’s a mistake on my part that I didn’t notice earlier prior to printing. I plan on changing my domain after December and will be ordering more; a heads up if you happen to receive a card from the corrected batch as opposed to the updated ones.

little-lam Business Cards

Here comes some loooong overdue blog posts in the next couple of days.
Since I last updated, the past months have been spent tending to real life issues (particularly working and seeking further employment). At some point, I suggested that my boyfriend try his hands at sculpting with polymer clay. I was curious about playing with it as well, considering I’ve seen some neat things being sold online. I figured that I might try practicing with it, given the possibility that I might put it to use in my web store later on.

Of course, I attempted to make Muffet from Undertale because spider girlsss. If you haven’t played it, it’s a really charming game. Huge emphasis on “tried” because I’ve never been too great at making 3-D, so I didn’t expect her to be amazing. Since my craftsmanship was quite rough, she was difficult to paint.

In the time I made her, my boyfriend made several little monsters for a monster collecting idea that he’s been brainstorming. We’ve taped several concepts on his wall but I will wait until I have a good camera on hand before I post them.

Also, I’ve finished redesigning my business card and I’m in the process of waiting until they’re shipped to see how they’ve printed. Until then, I’ll post my tunnel book from senior year since I find it relevant to my attempt at something new. This post might sound somewhat mechanical because I’m feeling under the weather at the moment. Unfortunately, the things I’m dealing with persist but I will try my best to update more frequently as opposed to the past two months.
