Howdy, everyone. I don't feel like giving a dissertation on the subject, but I'm going to be out of town for the next couple days for a funeral. Dealing with this over the last week has effectively kept me away from responding to people here, and I apologize. My artwork has been slowed down, though I've still completed things. This, however, is a superfluous fact because various uploaders on my computer aren't working. ~_~

Basically, I'm going to avoid this problem until I get home because it's stressing me out. To =MaciaPaladin, ~ShadowedElf, and ~1337Kadaju-- please don't panic. I have art for you, and when I'm home (Tuesday), I'll figure out a way to get it to you.

One piece of good news: ~hyperionwitch has the files for the Nine Levels contest held by *vert-is-ninja, and she will be hacking into my account to post those pages up.

So I'll see y'all next week~

Yo yo! I finally have a day off from work! So this is what it's like to be an adult, huh? I don't have much to update about, but I figure I should take the chance while I have it. I should have some new stuff up soon, check the list. Features will accompany my next journal, too.

Oh! I'm almost to 30,000 pageviews. There's a 30K kiriban, so try and catch it! I'll draw ya something pretty. :3

What's Around the Corner:
Graduation present for ~1337Kadaju
Lenalee and Lavi from D. Grayman
Zero Suit Samus
Simca from Air Gear

The title is a quote from The Road to El Dorado. That movie was hella underrated. It's so good.

Anyway, I totally forgot, but I was tagged by =MaciaPaladin a while back! Here's the drill: first ten commenters on this journal entry will get featured. Simple as that! Of course, it snowballs and then you'll have to feature some people... but c'mon, spread the love!

Not much to report, otherwise. I've been working on Space Destroyer Hunter, my Ouran Host Club doujinshi, and the script for another doujin that will be drawn by ~hyperionwitch. Lots o' comics. I also went back to my job at Aeropostale, which is bittersweet. I like seeing my coworker homies, but I've always hated work that's not art and my dumb ex got a job RIGHT NEXT TO ME at Starbucks. Thus, I need to find a new break location. DX

Anyway... muh. I need to sleep.

Yo yo, I'm back from Omaha! I must say, one of the best weeks everrr. ~hyperionwitch and I stayed with my grandma and went to the zoo, and then spent the weekend at Otaku Omaha. It was quite probably the best con experience we've had yet. Check out our cute cosplays! [link]

There's a lot more that I could say, but it's late and I have lots of art to be working on. I may be holding a contest in the next couple weeks, though, look out for that!

I got tagged again. A character survey had been going around my friends' journals, so I just KNEW I was going to get hit with it sooner or later.

First, a quick update: I'm done with finals and made the Dean's List again! Woo! Also, being done, I finally have time for people and art again! So another, more enthusiastic woo. Not like I'll be posting a ton... but I will be churning out tons of art for the comic Space Destroyer Hunter! Check out =MaciaPaladin and [link] for details.

P.S. Oh yeah, I'm home! Let's paaaarty, friends!

Onto the tag...

1. Choose a few of your own characters. Five at the most.
2. Make them answer the following questions.
3. Then tag three people.
4. Feel free to go ahead and add some questions yourself!!

The Chosen: Nora (From Law of Joy)

1. How old are you?
Old enough to know better.

2. What's your height?
5'1".

3. Are you a virgin?
A problem child like me? Pfft. No.

4. Who's your mate/spouse?
Err. I don't do the whole monogamy thing. I would, however, do Joshua. He's a cutie. ^.~

5. Do you have any kids?
No, and I never would.

6. What's your favorite food?
Anything made with mochi.

7. What's your favorite ice cream flavor?
I don't think I've ever had ice cream. If I have, I certainly don't remember.

8. Have you killed anyone?
Probably? I don't really stick around to find out.

9. Do you hate anyone?
You know all those people who've ruined the world? Yeah. Them.

10. Have any secrets?
Not really. I'm pretty much an open book.

11. What is your job?
Professional anarchist.

12. What do you do to relax?
Smoke.

13. Where would you rather be lost - in a deserted village, in the middle of a haunted forest surrounded by undead cults or in a desert dotted with ruins filled with gold but no available water source?
The forest, obviously. It sounds to be by far the most interesting.

14. What are/were your parents like?
They were the perfect parents.

15. Do you want to say something to your readers?
Not really, no.

As usual, I'm the last to be tagged. Do it if you waaaant to. <3

I'm finally in the home stretch, literally. It's the last week of school before I pack everything up into a storage space and go home! It's a weird feeling... I've finally gotten homesick. As much as I'll miss the art scene and all my friends here, I can't wait to be back in the Midwest!

To report the results of last journal entry, many thanks to =MaciaPaladin for the subscription! I'll come up with a new poll soon just because I CAN.

That is all! Wish me luck with my finals.

Grace

The summer approaches and as usual, I have a busy con schedule. This year I plan on making my artist alley! Therefore, over the summer, when I'm not working on Space Destroyer Hunter (comic by =MaciaPaladin), I'll be working on some art to be sold specifically at the table. Back when I was a subscriber, I had a wonderful poll on what people looked for in art prints. Unfortunately, I can't access those results unless I'm a subscriber again.

So here's the deal: I'm too busy to work on commission this summer, but I will take 1 commission in exchange for a dA subscription. I don't really care how long I have it for, so the type of commission will just depend on how long the subscription is.

Let me know if you're interested!

Howdy! All my finals have been assigned, so my brief flurry of activity is going to die down a bit for the next two weeks. No worries, though! A project that I'm starting on will ensure very regular updates in the near future. For those who haven't heard, I'm the official artist for the webcomic Space Destroyer Hunter by =MaciaPaladin! If you haven't read the main series, Starship Moonhawk, I highly recommend following the link from his page and checking it out.

Hey y'all! I hope everything is well with my dA people. I really appreciate all the comments and favs lately, by the way! It's been a busy term, so I apologize for not being that great responding! Summer's nigh, so that should change in just one month.

Anyway, here's a brief life update! Classes have been great this term. Grades are good, but more to the point, I love everything I'm doing! I declared as a Sequential Arts major with a minor in Creative Writing. Things have been awesome in general. I got to see the comedian Kyle Cease, SCAD's production of Hamlet, and I'm doing lights for some senior shows.

Artistically, I've made some enormous leaps in the last like, three days. My Storyboarding professor gives good tutorials and I've gone to some open model drawing sessions-- drawing naked people really is the best!

So, sorry that my latest posts have been mostly schoolwork. Something's on the wing that I bet y'all will enjoy much more! It's that Brion Hartley comic I started last term! It was sitting around, almost finished, and I just recently picked it up and started inking. Expect the first page by next weekend!

Much love!
