Apologies, Reasons and Updates...

So, the inevitable has happened- my concentration lapsed and my chibi project lost steam in a big way. Sorry! But not to worry, I have started up again. The chibi in question was a hard one to begin with, having gone through several design changes that will be explained in deeper depths in its post, and then I went through a couple of issues with my computer and saving. The tall and short of it is I had to redo several sections of shading I'd already completed and for a while it was put on hiatus due to a rager's quit.
Yeah, sorry about that
Then, also running along side this miniature explosion of frustration I had the last of my exams, the presentation of my GCSE work- which will feature after I get my results in August, in case there are rules again internet sharing of GCSE work before then, or something stupid.
Straight off the bat from my presentation I headed off to London to see a show, and then on again to Portsmouth to see the Mary Rose and the Victory ( "Kiss me, Hardy" ) after a visit to the RAF Museum in Hendon, since my dad used to live at the RAF base that is now sadly closed. All very fun, but since my laptop isnt really portable at the moment, it meant the hiatus was extended.
Then as soon as I got back from London it was off to Athens of all places. Very exciting, as you can imagine, but since I finish school early due to exams it's the perfect time to go on holiday- before the prices rise for the school summer holidays. Athens is an amazing place, I recommend it for everyone- just look out for pickpockets, which are famous for zipping by on mopeds and stealing bags, which luckily didn't happen to me, and for Anarchist rallies.
We happened to be sat eating lunch in a square when one took place. Eep is an understatement- they started chasing this one guy, and beating him with chairs in the cafe next to us. And then throwing the chairs. So yeah, we left early.
The strangest thing for me was the lack of police there. A huge gathering of people like that in, say, London, would have supervision from the police in case something like that happened.
It was more or that reason that the crowd's aggression that we left.
Still, exciting stuff, right?

Anyway, there are my excuses for not posting the next chibi, but rest assured it is now on the top of my list, and I will get to it!
