Some progress & PSVita update
General | Posted 13 years agoI am working on some two new pics. One is almost finished being inked, which will include my recent sunset pic, which is going to be part of the next image. And the other is a birthday picture, which I need to work on as soon as I finish inking the first picture.
Also, I like and dislike the selection of the PSone classics in the PSVita library, I was glad enough to have a PS3, in which I got to purchase, and transfer, The Legend of Dragoon, to the Vita. According to IGN, they have a list on there in which PSone games can be directly bought on the PSVita and which ones you can transfer from the PS3.
Tomorrow, I will be off from work since it is Labor Day, so I may have a couple mowing jobs that will keep me busy, if the weather cooperates.
Anyways, hope to see you guys tomorrow.

PS Vita 1.80 Update now online.
General | Posted 13 years agoI just turned on my settings here in Virginia, and they have posted the update on the Vita's Settings via WiFi as of Midnight.
So, if you are still up, connect your Vita and get it updated so you can play PSone titles, have it treated as a secondary PS3 controller, and other stuff.

Coming soon, hopefully.
General | Posted 13 years agoSince I am busy most of the time during the week, I may only have time to work on my Art stuff on the weekends or at night.
Good thing is, I passed both of my classes this summer with flying colors, which means a good review if I am to go into professional Graphic Design work in the future.
Though I may not post anything everyday, I am still practicing sketching my works so when I make them for real, they will be perfect. But what I really need to work on is some Expressions. If anyone can help me out by finding some good facial expression templates, that would be useful. But since the internet is vast, I could probably find some as well.
Also, I am planning to get some more supplies since most of mine are running a tad low on ink, but I will work with the best I can. Got to love those Sakura Ink Micron pens you get from the art store, which are also sold on my campus.
So anyways, once I get some inks sorted out, I will start posting again, and I hate keeping my fellow artists waiting for work that I keep promising, but can never get to because of school and my jobs.
Goodnight, and hope to see you all tomorrow :)

Reasons that I am happy for.
General | Posted 13 years agoWell, been working at my bookstore for about 3 weeks now, and I enjoy every minute of it since it is my main source of income, putting mowing second since it is seasonal.
Also, went and got myself a copy of Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance since it came out yesterday (as of midnight), and played it after mowing two yards and dinner, completing only 2 levels and moving to The Grid from Tron: Legacy.
Lastly, I was glad to see Aurora Spencer back on YouTube again since she has been gone for a couple months, but it is only because she needs a new laptop since she is having trouble with her current one. Would be nice to make a fundraiser or something towards a new laptop for her. Just hope she can find the spare money to do what she pleases so she can do her artwork again, but we have to be patient :)
Well, that is all I have to say tonight, but I will be posting two Prismacolor pictures tonight before midnight since Tomorrow (August 2nd), I will be leaving to Greensboro, NC in the evening and will be flying out of there Friday morning to Oregon. I will try and take some pictures for self purposes and post them on either Facebook or FA for some artist comments.
Anyways, goodnight everybody.

Let the games begin...
General | Posted 13 years agoTonight marks the start of the 2012 London Olympics, which has been a good watch so far.
Too bad they don't have Quidditch in the Olympics :)
Anyways, hoping good luck to the United States and the United Kingdom.

My apologies for delaying artwork
General | Posted 13 years agoBeen working at the bookstore and classes these last couple weeks, that I haven's had time to work on any artwork with the in-between gaps filled with mowing, which is a seasonal income.
Also, I will be taking leave between August 2nd-13th since I am going on a trip to Oregon to visit my mother's side of the family, in which my grandmother has a rare bone marrow disease, so hoping there will be a cure since the doctors gave her 18 months, or as of now, 15 months left to live. And my uncle is getting married, which is good since he is in his 50s, so it is about time :).
As of this week, all my summer classes, hopefully passed, are finished until mid-August, which is when classes, and Financial Aid, start to kick in. Glad I am working in a bookstore on campus now :).
Also, if there are any questions, such as requests, let me know so I will be able to work on them in my spare time.

The Seal of Orichalcos coming this Fall
General | Posted 13 years agoA card I have been trying to get for the past 8 years will finally be made into a real legal card from Konami.
It will be included in a Master Collection: Yugi's World box that will come out with the Seal of Orichalcos included along with signature Villian cards, such as Bakura's Dark Necrofear, the Big Five's 5 Headed Dragon, and Rafael's Guardian Eatos.
Planning on getting it the day it releases, which will be October 2nd of this year.
Also, if any of you don't believe me, check Toywiz.

wow 15Ks of comments.
General | Posted 13 years agoThis will be my 5th year on FA, or it was about 2-3 weeks ago and amazingly, got 15,000 comments.
Well, I guess after posting a total of over 600 deviations and posting numerous journals, it kind of adds up after a while.
What would be my biggest goal is to break that 100,000 view milestone, which will take a long while unless I can find the strength to make some pics. Which brings me to my alternative, I will reopen Requests so I can work on getting back in the digital art so I can work on getting some commissions later.
So if anyone wants a request, get them while they last because when the day comes that I shut them off, that will be it.
So if you want a pic, just note me. Will try working on it in my free time between classes and my book stocking job on campus.

What I need to get serious about doing this Summer.
General | Posted 13 years agoThere are some things I really need to get back doing this Summer, and I need the motivational support to help get me back in the digital practice.
I need to start on those Commissions I keep trying to plan to do for the past two years or so. And I need to do so in order to save some money off to the side to use for much needed purposes later, and I mean for expenses such as gas, insurance, subscriptions, and food.
I am to get a job on my campus this week, but I can only get it if I come back with my SSN and ID before being officially hired. I neglected to ask how much per hour, since I hate talking about money unless it is to help pay for mandatory expenses, so I will ask them once I return with the proper paperwork.
Trying to practice again with my pencils and prismacolors in my sketchbook, but I really need to sketch some more anatomy to improve my artwork and poses, especially women since apparently, they get more views than the rest of my artwork.
So yeah, could use the motivational support and help, and always here to see if anyone will buy any commissions.

May be working on commissions this week
General | Posted 13 years agoEver since this heat wave hit, my mowing is drying up, so I am prepared to work on some commissions, which will help pay for my trip and give me a chance to return to practicing my computer graphic skills and inking.
Plus, I need the money if I am to pay for my insurance and plane tickets (since I need to pay off my Plane tickets before August 3rd).
So if anyone needs some commissions done, I may ACTUALLY HAVE TIME this week.
If you need one, just note me as usual.

Policy: Do NOT PAY before the Commission is done.

Some progress made on the Vita
General | Posted 13 years agoA couple days ago, I got to download the finally posted YouTube App.
Now i can watch some YouTube videos without that pesky "Flash Required" icon. What I am enjoying so far is the "Thief and the Cobbler"'s original filmography, and "Twice Upon a Time", which is were basically, I can find them both.
Also, got to download my first PSP game, Darkstalkers: The Chaos Tower. For a couple days, i was removed, but after I said something, it was put back on the site, so I instantly purchased and downloaded it.
My next PSP download will hopefully be Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier, but I am still hoping to see the PSone Classics section on the PS Store soon.

My current thoughts about the PSVita
General | Posted 13 years agoSo far, I am bored out of my mind because the game selection is limited to only PSV and PSP games, and I may have to get a bigger GB for it since when you put even two movies on the handheld, it takes up 98% of the memory card.
I also heard that Sony is working on a firmware update so PSone classic games can be played on the Vita. I hope they finish it up ASAP because I am bored just holding onto the thing with absolutely nothing to get, except maybe Darkstalkers and Jak: The Lost Frontier.
So hope to hear more soon.

Got a PSVita yesterday
General | Posted 13 years agoWell, I finally got the Vita, which means I now possess every current handheld RELEASED so far.
What I like about it so far is the fact that it can download every PSP (except Birth by Sleep) on it's PlayStation Store. But I think it needs another update, in which it can allow PSone games to be downloaded onto it, since the current selection (to me) is minimal at best.
But it is a good thing since if i see a game I want to get, I already have the console for it.
Awaiting to see if Japan will release a Black Wii U in North America this November so i can preorder it in August.

Toonami Returns: 05.26.12

IT is basically the same anime Saturday night schedule, but still, one step closer.
Let's see if we can work in getting it back on during the DAY shall we ;)

Spring Semester Finished and Summer Semester glooming in.
General | Posted 13 years agoWell, i am about 3/4th of the way through the College courses, and will be slowly moving into the Summer Semester next week.
Good news is i am taking night classes, so i can mow yards during the week to make money and also pay for my bills.
So yeah, working about 2-3 yards a day, which is good if i want to be able to do what I want to do and also work on getting my own place and a second job if possible.
So yeah, if i can improve on my online job as a commissioner, i might just make i out there in the real world. But first, i need to remake my commission page since the last one didn't work out so well, and i really need the money if i want to move out and do my own thing.
So yeah, open for commissions, and good examples are in my gallery if you want to look.
Also, if you request a commission DO NOT PAY BEFOREHAND until the work is FINISHED.
Just a new policy, that's all.

A word about my artwork
General | Posted 13 years agoApparently, someone on ebay has resorted to stealing my deviantArt picture of the Seal of Orichalcos and is reproducing it for profit.
I have already notified Konami and eBay about this matter, and have checked for the original file as evidence.
Further information about the picture will not be disclosed due to thievery.

Jak 3 on the Playstation 3
General | Posted 13 years agoSo far in the last three days, i have been playing Jak 3, which i downloaded from the PSN for about 15 bucks.
Amazing how when you finish an event, you get a trophy for it, but there is one trophy that is going to be a challenge to get, and that is obtaining 600 Precursor orbs, which means to have obtained ALL the orbs in the game.
Don't know if that includes Hero Mode, but to be safe, would at least try to see if i can get all of them, a feat even i could not do about 7 years ago.

working up for a PSVita
General | Posted 13 years agoSo far for now, i am trying to raise money up for a new PSVita, not the AT&T ones, which are 300 bucks.
So far i have raised 75 bucks, 50 in cash since i traded a Walmart card my dad gave me with my mom, so i have about 175.
Working this morning, so hopefully I will make some more fliers i made and try to mow some more yards.
So, gotta go now, some some median clean up and mowing to do.
See you all later.

Working on a weekly and monthly budget plan
General | Posted 13 years agoSince i am going on a trip in August of this year to Oregon, and my only source of money is mowing, I am working on a monthly budget plan.
As for commissions, I have a hard time working on them with classes going on and my career counselor taking about 1/14th of the week out of my time. And it is kinda hard to get a job when you are going to school for about 9 hours a week and working on getting your Associate's Degree in Communication Design. Wednesdays are my longest days since i go from 1 PM-5 PM and 6:30-9/9:30 PM.
As part of commissions, which i have been trying to work on, but trying to promote Aggressive Motivation, I am going to try and work on at least two or so weekly, since the only time i can get is during the weekend, unless i am mowing.
Also, i am going to work on a new Commission flier in which an image will be shown in different stages since my new one doesn't show a lot of creativity to it, considering it is just one picture that just says "Commissions Open".
So next week or so, i am going to select either one or two characters and work on a new flier so i can get some work in. And also working on a mowing letter so i can mow more than just a few yards in a week so i can increase my weekly assets to meet ends meet.
So if anyone needs to ask me questions about commissions or requests, just send me a NOTE.
Thank you and hope to hear from some of you soon.
