If you read my previous journal you will know the past weeks have been hard for me, artist wise.

A couple days ago the worst had happened. After so many days of slow activity and several shut downs, my buddy laptop finally crashed for good a couple days ago. This eliminates any chance of me drawing digitally as well as posting anything online...

I've contacted the warranty peeps and I hope to have my laptop sent away today for repair. Idk when I'll get him back, but hopefully he'll be back home before the end of the week...I miss him so much! :< so for now I will be doing tradish drawings while I wait...but I'm not getting much done, I just feel lost without him I guess.

I'm stuck using my phone for everything now, and it sucks at just about everything lol. So yeah, sucky weeks lately but will hopefully only get better x) cya then guys o/

For the small amount of you that care and read journals and junk:

(JUST A NOTE: EVERYTIME I SAY "HE" "HIS" OR "HIM" I AM REFERRING TO MY LAPTOP, ty :>)

Ever since yesterday morning (approx 40 hours ago from now) my laptop has been having some *cough cough* emotional problems and has neglected my existence with continuous self-harm and total disregard for his programs. And through this approx. 40 hour period I have not been able to work on anything digitally and have been scared ever since to even open Paint tool SAI...

Luckily after a couple uninstalls and reinstalls and MULTIPLE restarts followed by Excruciatingly long waits to see my log-in screen. I THINK he's slowly coming out of his little episode. Although I am now terrified to even touch Skype with other programs open haha xD.

As it is late I will give my buddy a bit longer to collect his thoughts and get back to his senses so we can work on our projects together as a couple :3...Although I think now would be a fantastic time to save everything on my backup hard drive lol.

For a good example of how frustrating it was getting him back up. He would freeze up even with nothing open and the screen literally went white when I tried to move an icon on the screen...AN ICON!! THAT'S HOW EMOTIONALLY DESTROYED HE WAS. HE DIDN'T WANT ME TOUCHING HIS DAMN ICONS NNGGGHHHH. Also after restarting him for the 3rd/4th time last night it took so long for him to start up again I had to leave the screen on and get to sleep to hope that he would've managed by the time I woke up...which thankfully he did, so basically it would have taken him I would say at least 3 hours to functionally restart :I. I'm scared for updates that require him to restart now, like omg help me xD.

Okay that's all, thanks for reading my jibberish ^3^.

Since I have a bit of time on my hands I decided to update all the old pokemon images (namely #001-Bulbasaur to #024-Arbok) to their scanned version instead of the gross phone pictures I was forced to take since I didn't have a scanner for the start of this challenge. So enjoy the now-sort of HD re-make for the first 24 pokemon ehehe :D.

No I did not draw all of them again, I simply changed the way I processed the traditional work onto the computer :P it's still all the same drawings etc. Make sure to check them out :D Thanksss xx

Finally back and "well" rested from a long weekend camping :D. It was soo fun and we camped right next to a beach so I couldn't help but walk along the beach until I hit the rocks :3. I actually had to do it twice in one day cause I came back and the kids wanted to go xD so I took them out of my sisters hands and had another good stroll. The walk to one side alone was probably about 2km, so I would've walked at least 8km that day haha .__.

The beach was soo beautiful!!! I woke up extra early the last morning and took some beauty sunrise pics, although it was fairly cloudy they still came out pretty well, might even post a few on here when I get time hehe.

So after I came back there has been a lot of catching up to do! I only just recovered from checking up all the new and awesome art that was posted over the weekend, and the journals. I still need to get my music back as well as work on my own art. There's an inspection later today and I'm technically not supposed to be here so I have to disappear for several hours before I can come back and get into the drawing again.

Weee glad to be back and I had a great time. Can't wait to start drawing again! :D

I'm going out starting tomorrow for a weekend camping trip with my sister and her family and another family haha yay xD she mentioned it at my mother's birthday dinner and offered if I wanted to tag along and I accepted since I felt I needed to get out of the house for at least a couple days haha :>

In doing this I will obviously not be able to do any digital work BUT I will take my sketch book and see if I can fit in a few drawings in and will post them up when I get back! I look forward to watching others fishing (I hate fishing but the kids are expecting me to uggghhhh), camp fires and cold nights AND mornings (I'm in australia and the cold really just hit us xD). I will be back some time Sunday and hope to catch up on everything I've missed :3 see you beautiful people later!

So every since I started doing thing digitally my time has been taken up sooo much. I'm loving using my tablet and making awesome pokemonz art but it's just taking up too much of my time everyday D:.

Not to fret though! I shall continue my work, I just need to find a new technique so I don't lose days worth of hours every week that I actually want to work on different types of art. In particular the ProjectWAM challenges that I mentioned in my previous Journal (check it out it's awesome for art blocks:3) as well as creating my own OC and of course creating furry/scalie art! ^-^.

If any of you have any ideas of how I can complete these artworks faster but still trying out new skills with them please let me know! I'm an artistic sponge right now and would love any helpful tips :3. Thanks~

In case you were wondering it takes me a long long time to finish each piece...example Hitmonchan I started properly at about 9am and posted the finishing product just before 9pm. I did have at most 3 hours of breaks worth in between though? Excited artist right here...maybe a bit too enthusiastic nyeheheee.

Okay so there is this awesome group right? it's called Project WAM! and it needs more members to help it expand D:

There's not much to it. The way the group goes is there will be 4 challenges every month (the first 4 came out just a couple days ago) and you can attempt these challenges and post them on the website to compete with other entrants! IT IS SFW ONLY!! we don't want any rude stuff on there as it is for artists getting their skills up and this would include youths as well so yeah...we don't want to scare too many kids xD. Also all of the challenges for the moment will be pokemon related because well who doesn't like pokemon? It's a super mad idea and I would love to see how far this goes :D

The creator of this magical group is  tythesly23 and he will be assessing all submissions that go towards the competitions. You can message him on here or on facebook (he goes by the same name) if you have any questions etc. I am also an advisor for the time being so yay come join me haha :D

it would be so mad if you joined and helped this guy out he's so amazing with his ideas and he's so dedicated and stuff so please let's help the guy out!!! Wooooo.

SO I'm trying to get into digital drawing now, and today I started my long journey into getting used to the programs, processes and pre-sets of SAI and most probably Ps in the future. Although I have had "recent" use of photoshop and got info on most of the basic functions, I do not have the program so I am sort of stuck on SAI at the moment, but it's not bad I guess...I mean plenty of good artists use SAI so it' obviously manageable. I just need to understand the dos and don'ts.

Because of this process I might not be on schedule for the drawings as I am already busy juggling other personal jobs, such as my "addict game" that no one knows about, looking for jobs and helping mum around the house from time to time...as well as looking for new music and going for walks etc? It's all too much really haha xD

So Since I'm up to a couple easy pokemon (voltorb and Electrode) I might be able to do quick sketches of them while I work on my digital skills, but idk after that :S
IF ANYONE HAS GOOD INTEL ON SAI I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A CHAT WITH YOU AND HELP ME WITH THIS CRAP BECAUSE I AM HOPELESS EHHH xD.

For this I will not be able to post Voltorb right now, maybe some time within the next 24-48 hours? idk :L I just hope this program works with me better tomorrow...for now, good night =___=

Okay so I've recently seen this video of a rather popular song down here in Australia. And I noticed that the singer...and maybe even the DJ guy or probs just some random who looked god in a jacket is wearing a a really fancy light-up furry mask. Like wow lol

It doesn't mean so much to me because I'm not exactly the dress up-type, but I thought I'd let others know that this can act as a bit of "awareness" to the public about the furry community haha :D 'cause before I got introduced to furries I seriously had no idea about them...uhh you (if any of you that read this have that passion :3) so this could be a good thing i guess? xD It's an awesome video too, I suggest you check it out!

It took a while but I finally managed to settle in enough to start drawing again! Hurray for that :D I'm still super busy so I'm trying to keep myself several drawings ahead in case I don't have time in the day to complete.

Between "trying" to study something I don't really want to do and applying for a shit load of jobs everyday it is very hard to find several free hours in the day to get myself into a good drawing session. And if by some miraculous chance I get a job in the next few weeks I will have to get used to that as well haha, especially if it's a rotating roster and I won't know when I'll be working. That will really stuff up my schedule xD. Hopefully if I do manage to land a job and keep it I won't have to do this study and maybe even keep my money lol. fingers crossed!

So for now we are okay, back to drawing as normal and surprising myself at how good my shading is becoming haha xD I do have this wacom talet I'm supposed to be using, but I might really get into it once I've finished these 151 pokemons. Thanks for your patience guys <3.

Hey Everyone. I have some more bad news. I had broken up with my boyfriend yesterday and I have to move out before I end up murdering him...I have scheduled a flight for Tuesday but before that happens I have to make a shit load of phone calls telling my family I'm okay and what happened because they want to know as well as telling the government and my study coach that I'm moving so we can sort some stuff out >.< it's gonna be extremely stressful on me to organise all this crap for myself as well as my ex since I'm trying to get him off his feet without me (YES I AM ACTUALLY HELPING HIM OUT WITH THE BRAKE UP AFTER I'VE BROKEN UP WITH HIM SOMEONE SHOOT ME).

Due to this rather upset occasion I will yet again have to go on a break from my daily posts and drawing stuff...I might do some if I get bored and want to pass the time but it won't be of the pokemon. So sorry guys :(. If anyone feels pity on me and would like me to explain to them what's happened I can tell you tomorrow. Right now I'm tired and sort of stressed still and I'm tired =__=.

On the plus side? I won't have anyone to tie me down or irritate me any more yey! lol
I will probably be on a break for approximately a week, so I should be back by not the Monday coming up but the one after that...again I'm sorry guys. I'll get back to you guys later. Peace.

A good friend of a friend just got kicked out of his place to live, and he needs dire help to get an apartment.
He's opened a few emergency group comms for $25 each, 5 char each, 2 SFW and 2 NSFW.
If there is anything you can do to help, even just give a dollar, he and I would appreciate it to no end.

If you are unable to help out with donations then help by spreading the word! I know all too much about what this guy's going through and it's terrible `n`
Sorry for the bother, if it is one.

If you guys have noticed or not I have been unable to post any new works on my pokemon list recently. Unfortunately things at home have been getting from bad to worse...All I can say is the main reason why I havn't been able to post any works up (besides having to deal with so much shit) is because my scanner isn't connecting to the internet to scan...I know it's super stupid that it has to be able to connect to the internet to scan but that is what's stopping it.

Due to the issues going on I will have to pause my activity until I am able to get back on my feet :\ Sorry guys, I hope to get back asap <3

I've noticed this little Journal section and I've never had one of these before :O at least I haven't noticed that I've had one xD. I might just use this little function to tell you guys about me and things happening in my life. That's what a journal is about isn't it? ;)

Okay so, I'm a young Australian Born in Queensland and raised in the tropicals. I love nature and at times feel like I want to be infused with with the trees in the forest at times ^3^. I spent most of my teenage years in front of the computer, or at least when we first got connected to the internet which was when I was 13 To my best knowledge. Yes yes I know I've lived half of my life without the internet! Shocking I know, I feel sad for myself as well lol.

About 3 months in of having the internet one of my friends introduced me to a game that would change my life - Habbo Hotel. If any of you have heard of this game or play it, you are awesome and I will always be your friend :3. I will also feel bad for you as this game is very very VERY addicting. Want some facts? From 2013 I played on Habbo for everyday that I wasn't forced off from playing it too much. I played it non stop for about 3 years. My grade 10 file doesn't exist because I went to one school for one year attended about 2-3 months worth and never went back. To be fair though the school was hell and the people there were terrible people. I also had to repeat grade 11 because I needed to get good grades for 11 and 12 for anything to count in my life. It was a good decision :) My second year in grade 11 was probably my best year because I moved to a third school. and I stayed there and did the best I could've ever done. Still played Habbo though, I just didn't let it get in the way as much.

When I moved to this new school in 2012 I surprisingly made friends quickly, one of my best friends was my only friend for a while, I followed her around everywhere and she didn't seem to mind. She was also one of the most popular ones there so I guess I picked the good one to hang around with haha. At one point I didn't know which bus to take to get home, so I waited for her to go on one of the buses and went on with her (just so you know she actually lived close to me so I wasn't being creepy or anything haha). Although at one point she went on a different bus because she was visiting a friend after school and I got really confused and didn't know which bus to go on xD.

That school was also the place where my drawing and painting skills (yes I can paint as well :P) The place didn't really have much artistic talent before I got there so it was fairly easy to set the bar for the school. I still have the stuff I did there on file so I might add them later on :3 I won a Huge painting for coming first in a local competition which was pretty amazing, came third in an art comp I entered for a public art show. and I got a shit load of support from everyone in the class, I even surprised myself with what I could do at times :D.

That's all for now, I need to sleep haha. night
