Hey guys~ So this will be quick. I wanted to let you guys know the next Bright and Brilliant page will be up tonight.
Thursday I had only an hour left of drawing on the page. But Friday was too chaotic moving into school, and Saturday proved an emergency with a friend happening that took the time I was going to work on it. Today is also busy, but not tonight. So around the evening :iconsilveraruka: and I are going to the lab to work and I'll get that page up for you guys, as well as a head start on the next one.

:) That's all for now. Thanks so much guys~ Things are a bit crazy. Once things settle down a bit we should be good.

Tag eight people you wanna know better!

Name:
Well my real first name is Danielle or Dani. Online I tend to go by EstivalEquinox but I've seen people nickname me Esti. It works.

Star sign:
I believe it's the libra libero or whatever it's called one?

Average hours of sleep:
When school isn't around... 8 hours. When it's time for school...hahahahahahah that varies around the time of the semester. I did break myself so I can't function below 4.5 hours of sleep anymore.

Lucky Number:
1872. Not even joking. Favorite number since 7th grade. I'm a college senior soon so... it's been my favorite number a long time.

Last thing I googled:
"Healing creme for minor burns mejier" Yeah I work at a meijer store (it's similar to walmart but a lot nicer to work at in my opinion for those who don't live in my area) Also... I have a first degree burn for the first time in my life... I doubt it's going away naturally without some sort of help so... yeah. Getting something after work from the Health and Beauty department...

Favorite fictional character:
I tend to get unfair biases towards my own characters. So They tend to be my favorite. But my favorite "well known" characters would be the Eds from Edd Edd n' Eddy.

What are you wearing now?:
An orange slightly worn out t-shirt for my school department I got from freshmen year. And some new not shorts not pants jean things I got earlier this summer.

When did you start this account?
I think senior year of high school?

Amount of watchers:
231 and I deeply appreciate it. :)

What do you post?:
XD Pretty much just digital and traditional art. My Comic is back though.


Do you run any more blogs?:
I really should get back to that tumblr account...
I sorta have a youtube but eh. Not super active on uploading on it.

Do you get a lot of comments?:
Not a ton but that's okay. I know there are people who appreciate the work and that's cool. Comments, favorite, or silently watching, it's all good.

Why did you choose this username?:
Actually I took a lot of care in choosing this, since it was before we could change our usernames with a premium... or now core. I guess I heard from a friend of the word Estival pertaining to summer. and I was just looking up words and liked how EstivalEquinox sounded. I realized it could be very unique to me. Plus the Eds have me biased towards E names. XD

I was partway through tagging people when a sense of awkward turtle came over me...
I don't think I can right now XD Suddenly too socially uncomfortable

Where I've been

5 min read
I guess sometimes you forget what kind of impact you can have on people here, even people you've never met, until you up and well... are gone for awhile. And the last major update I've left here was when I wasn't in a place where I was losing track of who I was and groundbreaking things were occurring. I got a note on here from someone who was really concerned about me so yeah. That kinda made me realize... I should probably let you guys know where I am at.

First off, I'm okay.

I did go through some major depression as I did lose track of who I was as a person. And of course, life doesn't refuse to slow down when that is happening. I got through the art block. I can draw again for fun. And slowly over the past few weeks I've started to try and patch together who I am and where I'm going, especially in light of summer coming.

I'm truly grateful that God has remained constant for me while everything else was changing. And truthfully some of the stuff that was happening were good changes, but still crazy changes. I guess that's to say, where am I going?

Well for the next two weeks I need to keep going on finals and review week. I suppose I can upload some digital artwork I've completed. One was school and the other was a personal piece that really helped me get back into digital work for the fun of creating artwork. I'll also work on replying to comments again. I have read every single one, but really haven't had the heart to say much.

Once summer hits, I'll probably still be slowly getting back into things. I have a few things I must take care of once school ends ASAP. But in that time I'll be working on the Bright and Brilliant again, as the urge to work on it has been slowly tugging me as art block has faded. And of course I'll want to play with random ideas for art pieces for the sake of creating art.
Also for those who love Undertale and Ed Edd n' Eddy... yeah there's some art there I wanna do too. I guess I just want to have fun.

I've learned a lot from these sad parts and have come out a bit stronger, I've also been learning some things about confidence too... I guess I'm to say, I'm not ready to be back on here as actively as I was in December, but I'm taking the steps.

Thanks for caring guys. I need to get back to work on finals.

Hi guys so....
Some things have been happening in my life. Crazy things. In terms of the core of my being, I'll be alright. That is not shaken... but so much more of me is. Like, like if a factory's power source is functioning, but all the machines have been shattered to scrap metal. The main thing works but everything else is... non-functional.
This is where I am at right now. Something happened. Something that isn't in itself bad at all, it's great really. But it's shaken my mind so heavily that I....I can't even draw for fun anymore. As a person I hardly know who I am anymore, and this lack of understanding, this lack of confidence, it's transferred over to who I am as an artist on a personal level. As far as school work goes, anything professionally that I 'must' do, that I 'know' why I must do it. Therefore that area of my art, animation, schoolwork... all of that is still fine and focused. And maybe with finals month starting in a few weeks, maybe I should focus there.

Basically what I am saying is personal work wise, I won't be able to do much here until I get my confidence back up. Until I find my place more. And that weird thing that happened to me, well I can't do much about it. I have to be patient. I'm not sure how long this will be. So yeah. Until then...

Well, I'll be checking messages. So if you wanna talk to me that's fine. But... I don't really think I'll be creating anything that isn't school related for awhile. My motivation, my reason for making art, I haven't lost that reason in so many years since coming to an art college. This is... a very strange feeling.
