... D:
It is gruesome... DX
*brain fills with bloody images*

I just got the jelly head though - thought it was a perfect way to use it D:

Man I'm so hungry but I feel so nauseous at the same time :(

T___T You really like those heads?
*scared*

... What have you eaten previously that makes you nauseous now?

Poor Maria. Hope you feel better soon!

One of my students must have given me the flu...which causes nausea....D:

also the heads are kind of scary but jellyjelly gave it to me so I was super excited and wanted to use it :D Plus it will be fun to make scary avatars with the heads!

aw, feel better, Maria-Minamino!
*gives you some tea*

Mariaria seemed to always changed avvy~

I've been awake since 5 AM....throat is on fire and so swollen, I've managed to lose my voice (and for a music teacher that really sucks). I feel nauseous again. Why wont' this damn flu go away D:

Anyway - I'm bored and have nothing to do so I'm trying desperately to balance this avvie XD

Are you having a sick leave? or is it school holidays?

Well yesterday was a day off from school because of a U.S. holiday. Then tuesdays I don't work...so luckily I have today to hopefully recover. I'm going to die if I wake up feeling like this tomorrow >.< At that point I'm going to pop a movie in for the kids and call it a day. Can't do anything if I can't talk >.<

Do you feel heavy head?
I hope your throat would come better soon. Even more if the kids enjoy the class. It is music afterall, not maths. XD

I feel bad when I can't teach music and have to put in a movie but at least it's all music related movies XD

I've had body aches, sore throat, coughing, sinus problems, head aches, dizziness, fatigue, nausea D:

Are you sure you can even reach the school without a problem? O__O

and now the sinus problems have extended to my chest *trying not to sound gross* but the mucus is now in my chest and it hurts D:

I have no idea D: I hope so - luckily I'm off today so hopefully tomorrow won't be so bad D:

I dunno - been sick since last thursday >.<

Been taking medicines, drinking orange juice, sleeping, eating soup D:

bleh. Have you seen a doctor?
Since last thursday? More than 3 days have passed and no improvement?

There was some improvement and then I got worse again.

I haven't seen a doctor and I don't want to because it's so damn expensive. I have health insurance but the last time I went to the doctor in December because I was really sick then....the insurance only covered part of the visit and I ended up have to pay 170 dollars just so see a doctor for five minutes. >.<

I'm attempted to reshade my pencil skirt since I never put much thought into it, really.

So I was wondering if you had advice? I know pencil skirts are a thicker material because it needs to keep it's shape - so I'm having trouble figuring out where to put folds, if any...

I am not sure about your place, but pencil skirt here seems to be light. The reason it is stiffen is the 'farbic' is harder and most importantly, it is cut to fit. Tight fit. They cut in more curves resulting small, leading to tight, thus fitting. So the fabric is light, cutting restrain it and makes it less fold.

As boring as it might have sound, most creases you can find is below the belt. The rest shall be rather straightforward and of course the shading shape curve at the corner indicating the curve surface of your thighs.

That makes sense.

So something more along the lines of this:

Oh man I need something to settle my stomach - I really feel like I can't hold anything down though D: *curls into a ball and dies*

How about a bit of hot tea, Maria? Unsweetened, no milk, just tea.
I hope you feel better soon.

As for the skirt, I find the shape of the waist band angling up peculiar. The avatars are standing straight without any angling of the hip, so it might make more sense for it to be straighter or slightly dipping.

tea - that's a good idea....because thinking of anything else right now is killing me >.<

I had a ref when I started this picture that it was angled up like that but that was months and months ago and I've lost it. Now that I look up "pencil skirt" again - most of the time it's angled down - so I'll definitely need to change that! Good eye! Thank you!

I'll have to do that after I get some tea though D:

XD I didn't notice about the belt... I think my subconscious is easily played by Mariaria mentioning re-shading. and my attention focus on shading. XD nuu... weakness not suppose to be known.

A surprised Iroro pop in! O__O

Health always comes first. Go get that good tea for yourself. :)

And no problem! I've not been around for a while, so I'm catching up a little right now.

Forgot to comment on the newer update.
The shape looks alright, now, to make it blend.

oh man the tea is helping....don't feel as nauseous now!
I also ate a cracker...maybe that helped...
Okay - I will fix the shape of the belt area and then dither :)

Crackers are good for the sickly. :D
I should think about getting some plain or cream ones for myself. I ran out weeks ago.

Looking forward to seeing the changes!

I've not pixeled in ages and I do miss it, but I lack the free time to properly produce something worthwhile these days.
