Sorry that I haven't checked here in a while, bought a new toy last week :D

Having fun, and I'm fine... don't worry. Will try and get my arse in gear and respond to you all... but for the moment I'm stuck there.



Written on my new PSPgo
PATA PATA PATA PON

EDIT
I'll read notes, and I can start Skype, if there's something urgent.

I'll check my notes once a week min... but Skype is calls only, sadly.

Sorry if I might seem snappy or disinterested... it's not my intention.
Trying a new medication, which currently gives me a killer headache (24/7, painkillers only bring it down to "bearable" levels, aka light migrane) but I hope it will subside soon.

I don't know what else it might do, but it's classified as an antidepressant...

Few people are man/woman enough to openly answer any and all questions thrown at them. Are you? Prove it. Copy/Paste this as a new journal entry and answer every question you get.

The rules are simple:

-You must answer every question you get no matter what it's about and you must do so honestly.

-There are no questions that can not be asked as long as they are within the rules of FA. They can be personal, about OCs, drama inducing, and every thing in between.

Or something >.<;

Been more or less away for a month, and... dunno... don't want to anymore?



If there's anything important I've missed, please let me know... ok?

Let me build it up for you, from the bottom...

First, the bottom slice of the bun.
Then, sallad.
Then comes the meat.
And then, bacon *drool*
And another bottom slice.
A few tomato-slices.
Dressing on top.
Then one more meat disc.
And cheese on top...
... then finish with the top part of the bun.

Suddenly, seventh heaven isn't far.

5. You don’t mind walking instead of taking the car.
6. You put toilet paper on the seat in a public toilet and double fold it neatly.

26. You think people are too intrusive when they stand closer than 1½ meter away from you, even if you are at a crowed busses or trains.

28. You would rather stand up on the bus for an hour than bother the person who’s handbag is currently occupying the last available seat.

49. You go to a gig and people, even if they are standing at the back, are wearing earplugs.
50. Your natural response to a conflict is writing an angry letter to the editor of your local newspaper. Again.
51. Living abroad, you wanted to put up a Swedish flag outside your flat but were told not to by your neighbors and friends, and even when you wanted to put up a little blue and yellow banner they still told you not to, and you never got why it was a really bad idea. (Haven't done this personally, but it might happen)

54. You spend most of your summers in the park playing a game with wooden sticks, and when telling confused Non-Swedes about it you insist that it’s the best game ever.

76. You can peel an orange in your pocket.
77. You find net curtains (they’re big on them in the UK & Netherlands) highly offensive as they ruin any opportunity for you to stare in to other people’s house when you walk past.

83. You with great (albeit hidden) pride explain that in Swedish we call our grandparents MORMOR & MORFAR and FARMOR & FARFAR, so no need for silly mistakes, longwinded explanations (my mom’s mom) or formal /impersonal phrases, such as paternal grandparents.

If you were to suddenly become part of the 3D world, and ended up in a heavily-populated area, how many stares would you get?

Ok, writing this down so I'll keep track of it all.

Will do requests/commissions now...
Requests, can take an infinite amount, and colour them for free... without deadline.
Commisions, can take 1-2, and colour them for a small fee... with deadline.
(( Aka, if you don't have a deadline, put it as a request and save money. ))

---

Things I can do (+examples)
Full colouring (( using the lineart as a reference, but not including it in the final picture ))
Overlays/Underlays (( aka, putting a layer of colour over/under the lineart ))

Extra stuff I can do
Backgrounds
Clean rough lineart (( to some extent ))
VERY simple shading

Things I CANNOT do (but want to learn to do)
Eyes (( not even going to bother trying ))
Colour freely (( aka, draw ))

---

Unless specified, I will colour things as I see fit... but I'll follow character descriptions as much as I can.
Extra work aside from colouring, as in adding things not in the lines, shading, will take longer/more money... and no guarantees of the end result.
(aka, better to add it in yourself into the lineart, then give it to me for colouring)


Prices up for discussion...

---

You may post the coloured artwork wherever you want, provided you have the owner(s) permission... and give me some credit for the colouring.

Looking around the net for a "translation" from the Swedish D&D to "original english" D&D, I came upon several strange things. Now, I need help deciphering what edition I'm using, for starters... and possibly more <.<;

First off... D&D translated would become "Dragons & Deamons"... if the soloution could be there? *has no clue*

second, D&D 3.5e/4e (( Only I've checked so far )) have 6 "base" attributes: Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, Charisma.
while the one I've learned to play have 9...
"STYrka, FYSik, SMIdighet, STOrlek, INTelligens, PERception, PSYyke, SPIritus, KARisma" (( Original swedish words ))
"Strength, Physique, Agility, Size, Intelligence, Perception, Psyche, Spirituality, Charisma." (( Translated... FYS could be CON and SPI could be WIS :-s ))

Other differences noted are "Socialt stånd" (Social class) and "Framgång" (Sucess).


So... take this as a challenge, or spread the word... please?

Snatched from  scarskitsune

1 – Do you and your "fursona" look alike?

Well, she is based on me.

2 – Do you and your "fursona" share attires?

She's only in fur, I'm forced to wear clothes (( law and that junk ))

3 – Do you share the same sexuality as your fursona?

I think so?

4 – If you hadn’t already made your fursona look like you, if you would to change how he/she looked like to make him/her look more like you, how would you think he/she would look like?

>.<;

5 – Did you work hard to develop your fursona? What is the (brief) history of your fursona?

She has always been a part of me, my life.

6 – Do you and your fursona share relationship status?

Kinda... Yet not.

7 – Do you find yourself jealous or upset if you get paired with someone you don’t like or your partner does?

Nope... Not jealous, more like having pity on them for not being able to choose someone better.

8 – How would you like your character not to be used?

No torture scenes... We're mentally unstable enough.

9 – What’s your fursona’s specialty?

The ability to "soul-migrate"... aka, to move her soul to any fictional/real universe.

10 – At a score of 1-10 how much are you and your fursona alike?

Made a minor rant when getting reminded of my past over at Strypes journal, posting here for reminders...



I don't miss my old friends... and I don't want to be reminded of them again...
... been stabbed in the back one too many times.... by them... so I'm glad I'm no longer going to see them.

Only had one friend that I kinda slipped away from... but we talk... whenever we see eachother. For old friendships sake, though we cannot become friends again.



Now, all my friends I have are all living far away from me... so I'm all alone... *sighs*
Hate nostalgia, hate feeling alone, hate life. But yet I'm not ready to die.
