I got back home on 27th and honeslty, I'm glad that I packet light, because I unpacked real quickly and was able to sleep a lot.
I'm still a bit doozy due the travel, specially the time zone difference and the climate difference.

A quick sum up of how everything went

16th - Curitiba - São Paulo; São Paulo - Lisboa

17th - Lisboa - Milan; Got a rental can and drove 3-4h hours to Firenze, where I had to register myself and the staff had to see if my equipment was in order. After that, we had to find a market and purchased some food to later proceed to a 30-40min drive to Castelillina in chianti, where the house that me and my friends rented for the duration of the competition.

18th - in the morning we met up with others brazillians and did some warm up shooting;
during the afternoon we had a briefing regarding how the competition was going to happened (we missed because we got lost in Firenze while trying to find the place where the opening ceremony was going to happenen), however we managed to met up with all the other brazillians and the ceremony started;

19th - First day of the compeittion; I took 11 arrowns with me and by the end of the day, I had only 3!!!
ITALY, WHY DO YOU HAVE SO MANY ROCKS?
Not to mention that this messed up with my confidence, a lot.
Also, we ended up with the worst parkour of the entire competition; it was the longuest with very little shadow and a lot of hills.

20th - My day off, which instead of resting, I spend the entire day looking for an archery shop so I could buy more arrows.
Lucky in one of the parkours (the way people call the track, route, not quite sure how to translate) there was a guy selling arrows and equipment. So me and another friends who were in the same position (broke a lot of arrows) went there to purchase more and we spend the rest of the evening crafting them.

21st - Seccond day of competition; broke more arrows and got upset with myself, so I ended up performing poorly.

22nd - Third day of competition; Lots of ups and downs during the parkour, was very hot but it was actually one of the easiest so far. However I started to charge myself, something that I shouldn't have done, because I started to perfor poorly, again, and got so uptset that the other girls in my patrol (group of archers) started to ask if I was feeling ok.

23rd - Fourth and last day of the competition; I gave up, started to talk a lot with the other girld in my patrol, and decided to just have fun, menaing that I recovered a little bit from the past days, but it wasn't enough. So, I ended up in the 36th of 58 competitors.
After that, we had the closing ceremony, with the awards, and two of my friends got medals; One got a third place, and the other got first place.

24th - We took the can and drove off to Milan, to an hotel near the airport, so we could rest a little befor the long journey back home.

25th - We went to the airport to delived the rental car and took a train to the Duomo, so we could go sight seeing, where we wpend the entire day.

26th - Despite being the day of the flight back home, I had to go back into the Duomo, so I could return a game that I purchased by accident. The idiot over here forgot about the region locked settings; My nintendo 3DS is american and the game that I purchased was European, so there was no way that I was able to play it. So, I got the train back to the store, where I traded the game and got an Overwatch T-shirt (the only small t-shirt that they had avaiable), and Ezio figurine for me and an Arno figurine for my sister.
Got back to the airport and proceed the long waiting.
He had to go Milan - Lisboa; Lisboa - São Paulo

27th - Arrived at the São Paulo airport, we rushed into the counter to drop off our bags, just so we had to rush trough security and all the rest, because our plane was already boarding. However, when we got to the gate, on the OTHER SIDE OF THE FREAKING AIRPORT, the flyght got delayd due the heavy fog in Curitiba. So, after a 2h waiting period, the plane finally took off and we all got home.

A lot more had happened but then the journal would be too long.
I'm just a bit upset because we did go sight seeing the nearby cityes after the competition, however due the late time all the cool stores/museums were already closed and I didn't managed to get some gifts that I wanted, or I was so tired that I just forgot to buy it :/

But it was fund and it seems like the WBHC of 2019 is going to take place in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!
Once the city gets announced, I'll try to see who lives nearby so we can meet up C:

Hope that everyone have a great rest of the week!
Best regards

Like I've mentioned before, I've been working my arse off, just so I could represent the Brazil in the Worlf Bow Hunter Championship that's going to take place in Italy, from June 18th to 23th.

So, YES!

I'M THE BOSS!
Just delivered my LAST WORK related stuff.

After spending the past 2 months swamped by work, had to re-do an entire comic in a totally different format, had to create some toys and make the catalog for it, tons of drawings, drew a board game, and lot's of stuff that even gave me a rash and I had to see a doctor about it, just so she could say that's all stress related.

Now I have... 2 days to pack and see some final details regarding the equipment and some personal stuff.
Plus, on the place where I'll be staying, there's no computer and I honestly hate to use deviantart's mobile app, meaning that I'll see all the mesages on June 28th, when I get back home.

However you can contact me via twitter (I always swing by it, and might post some news regarding it)

Best wishes to everyone!

Now it's totally official;

I'm definetively going to Italy.

Plane Ticket - Paid
House that I'll be staying - Paid
Rental car - NOT paid [looking for an affordable price]
Money for food - NOT enough [still saving up]
Extra equipment - OK/Paid

So, yeah; I still need some extra cash meaning that Commissions are STILL OPENED, case anyone wants to help me out a bit.

Plus, those who helped me out in the past shall receive a post card from Italy with a very special "thank you" c:
HOWEVER case you don't feel confotable with sending me your address, I'm working on something that hopefully you'll enjoy;
More info when the travel's date is near.

So.... yeah, case you want to help me out, here's your chance!

slapping this thing here again



there's only this ONE commission that I haven't been able to finished because I decided to do a surprise, since the commissioner is one of the best person that I've ever met and hopefully he won't be mad at me for doing it in the valve time

Ok, so for some really odd reason, I have people who ended up mixing the drawing that I do for the "One drawing a day" as a notebook cover.

So, I humbly wanted to ask you guys
Would you be interested into buying a notebook with a personalized cover?
And case the answer is "yes", what would you ask as a drawing on the cover?

I've been kinda toying with this idea.

I might make one, for SCIENCE and try to see how much would it cost to send.

OMG

ANOTHER JOURNAL FROM JUBA!
HOW CAN THAT BE??!!??????


Anyhow, jokes aside, specially because I haven't been to active lately (mostly due life and work and all that) I've beem planning on trying to come back on full force on next year, meaning that I'm planing on getting back with my comics (yeeeey) and more art

Also, I was wondering if you guys would be interested into me doing some speed paints (I've already done 2, or was it 3?...) that you can check here - www.youtube.com/channel/UCIzAx…

I'll see if I can manage to make 2 or 3 more during this month (including a x-mas one)
And for next year I'll see if I can manage to post at least one per month.

I also have plans for an animatic that I started waaaaay back on....June or July.....
And since I'll have a few days of from work I'll try to get as many things done as possible.

So yeah, as soon as I get a decent internet I'll try to upload the latest speedpain, which ended up looking better than I expected and you can see all my creative process to come up with a nice effects on the drawing.

So, have a great week and see you all later!

Best wishes
