I've been dreaming about turtles
Posted 13 years agoI've spent the past week and a half on a Ninja Turtles binge. I've watched the first two movies, a great video that rips the third one apart (because I'm not going to try and sit through that), the anniversary movie "Turtles Forever" and I'm almost finished with the 2003 animated series. It's definitely better than I originally gave it credit for, except for seasons 5, 6, and 7 with a huge emphasis on SEVEN! season five was good about half the time, six had enough enjoyable moments for me to get through it, and seven is an exercise in willpower, fortunately I get to end this binge by watching the 1987 series. That will be awesome!
Stream schedule changing for June
Posted 13 years agoI just wanted to give you all some advance notice. Come June my livestreams will be moving to Tuesdays and Thursdays. They will be at the same time of day (16:00 MST). See you there.
I really need to say this.
Posted 13 years agoPlease read the whole thing before responding.
I hate myself. I know I have good qualities, but if I were to make an itemized list of my good and bad traits, the bad list would be substantially longer. I know what kind of person I want to be, and I've given up on the idea of ever being anything close to that person.
Before you respond, I don't want any advice or uplifting words. I just need to know if anyone else understands how I feel.
Sorry for the depressing journal.

The joy of big projects
Posted 13 years agoSo as many of you probably know I'm currently in the middle of a rather large picture for
xofrats
I really enjoy large projects for multiple reasons. One reason is the challenge of putting them together. There is so much more preparatory work that goes into large pieces because starting over is much more daunting than with small ones. This preparatory work is much more enjoyable that it sounds, and I learn a lot of things while doing it.
Another reason I like large projects so much is because I'm able to have multiple projects going at a time if one of them is a large one, and so I try to keep at least one large project in the works, and then I can bounce to other projects when I need a break from it to clear my head and gain a fresh perspective.
I have had a flash of inspiration for 3 other projects, in the form of short comics, that would all be a good way to keep my head clear while working on the picture for
xofrats. I don't have the time to do more than one of them alongside my current project; so I'd like to get some opinions on which one you think sounds most interesting. Whichever one people think sounds most interesting is the one that I'll start on first. They are:
The Song of the Icarus: Brief back story about the Icarus mentioned in Homecoming
The Abraham: Brief back story about the Abraham, mentioned on the same page of Homecoming.
Steamroller: Textless comic depicting entrenched infantry defending against a full assault from an opposing force
Feel free to ask for more information. I eagerly await your opinions.

I feel kinda stupid
Posted 13 years agoI completely forgot about family stuff that I have to do tonight. Today's stream is going to be tomorrow. Sorry ^_^;
Contest Winner
Posted 13 years agoI meant to do this on the 1st, but it slipped my mind. Now that March is here my contest has come to an end and with the help of a random number generator I have determined the winner.
Congratulations
mistingwolf and thank you very much to all of you who entered.
Congratulations

Apologies for everyone
Posted 13 years agoSo I got home today and took a nap because I was tired. I just woke up and realized I was supposed to stream today D:
I'm really sorry everyone, I'll try to squeeze an extra one in next week if I can.

Streaming NEWS plus a contest
Posted 13 years agoFirst things first. Starting next week I will be streaming twice a week again, on tuesday and friday evenings
second, I got this really fun contest idea in my head and I have to do it now so I'm going to.
As you've all seen, I posted a 9 page comic a few months ago. What you may not have seen is my signature hidden in each page.
So here is the contest: everyone that notes me the locations of all 9 signatures by March 1st is going to be put into a drawing for a free commission (which will hopefully include free shipping as well *crosses fingers*) By the commission piece is going to be 18"x24" with a character cap of 5, so it's worth the effort you'll be putting in.
For a reference of what my signature looks like see my profile ID picture.
I will also appreciate it if note entries are in the following format:
Page #, Panel #, locational description (just something accurate enough that I know you really found it)
Examples:
Page 2, Panel 2, just under the prophet's hand
page 2 panel 2 in the podium shadow under the old guy's hand
page 2 panel 2 under the hand
if you send me wrong answers I'll tell you which pages are wrong so you may keep trying until the 1st of march.
here is page one
happy hunting :)

So I have internet again
Posted 14 years agoand I just came back to 403 journals and 948 submissions in my message box XD I'll never catch up :P
Going offline for about a month
Posted 14 years agoTwo of my room mates moved out this month and rent is going up accordingly. As a consequently I have to cancel internet service to save money until I can move into a cheaper place. I'm trying to line something up right now and if all goes well I'll be back in no more than a month, just want to keep you guys in the loop.
Going to be taking comissions soon
Posted 14 years agoI've decided to start taking commissions. I'm not 100% on prices yet, but I'm thinking $12 for a sketch, $12 for linework, and $20 for a fully shaded piece. Shipping costs are $5 inside the US and $10 everywhere else.
I won't do pornography, but so far everything else is on the table.
I'll put up a post later this week with some examples and a more substantial list of what I'm good at and what I'm not.

My laptop died
Posted 14 years agoMy laptop died last week, and is beyond reasonable recovery. I'm currently using a desktop that's on loan from my parents. Hopefully I can have a few new things in soon (no promises though).
Holy Damn
Posted 15 years agoMy net dies for a couple of days and I come back to see over 200 new submissions to look at. It was awesome.

♥To every guy that cried in front of her...
♥To every guy that she cried in front of...
♥To every guy that holds hands with her.
♥To every guy that kisses her with meaning..
♥To every guy that hugs her when she's sad.
♥To every guy that hugs her for no reason at all.
♥To every guy who would give their jacket up for her.
♥To every guy that calls to make sure she got home safe.
♥To every guy that would sit and wait for her for hours just to
see her for ten minutes

If you are a nice guy repost this with: "Nice guys STILL finish last "
If you are a girl that thinks every guy should treat a girl this way

Impressive how fast those pile up.
Posted 15 years agoNothing big here, just surprised at how fast submissions can stack up. I've got 234 to sort through and it sucks, not because there are so many but because I can't give them all the time they deserve. I'm pretty sure I've got one from back in January that I've been holding onto to make sure I read it. I'll get around to it eventually . . . which is kind of like saying I'll have a snowball fight in Hell someday. But enough about me, how are all of you?
Being a night owl sucks
Posted 15 years agoI always find myself staying up till some strange am hour that no one should ever see and feeling social. Problem is everyone I know has been asleep for at least 4 hours and waking them up would be terribly rude. Get's lonely :|
I'm back . . . partially.
Posted 15 years agoGood news: Laptop works again, yay.
Better news: I've got some art to scan and post, yaaay.
Bad news: Internet is a piece of stupid wrapped in irritating and smothered in malevolent hatred and disgust! booo.

Sorry for the absence
Posted 15 years agoHaven't been around at all recently. My laptop busted and I haven't gotten it fixed yet, and I doubt my room mate would like me using his PC for . . . stuff.
God damn do I feel better.
Posted 16 years agoSo I read this last night:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3058696
It's a short story by Rikoshi called "Trading Wishes" and it is so funny, beautiful, and absolutely adorable that I just don't have it in me to feel sad anymore. Go read it.
