Sketches Now Available
General | Posted 11 years agoThat's right, I am (and I didn't think I'd be saying this so soon) opening my request and trade slots to include drawing and sketches. Mostly cuze...I've got the drawer's equivalent of writer's block. x3 So note me if you're interested. That is all. :3
Happy New Year!
General | Posted 11 years agoThat is all. :3
Post Christmas
General | Posted 11 years agoWell Christmas is over and wow what a holiday. I got mostly stuff for my job for Christmas, but the big present for me this year was my new graphics tablet. ^^ Never thought I'd say that but wow wow WOW! It's incredible. It is a little awkward to use right now, especially as I have to look up at a screen to see what I'm drawing instead of what I'm actually drawing on. But I'm sure I'll get used to it. I have basic software that came with, but honestly I'm looking for a specific drawing program: simple, yet detailed; customizable, cheap, and doesn't eat up my poor laptop's memory. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd really appreciate it. That is all. :3
Happy Holidays Everyone!

Still Alive
General | Posted 11 years agoYup just been sooooo busy with the holidays coming up, my job, and recently bad luck. The past week, it was just one thing after another. I'd rather not go into details but it got really pricey really fast. Hopefully this week will be better. In terms of drawing progress, it's slow but definitely seeing some improvement. Mostly trying to nail down the basics since I was never trained in any other type of art except the only art I absolutely despise: still life. More like snore life. X3
Now I would like to bring something up: I am still writing, I still love to do it. I just wanted to get better at drawing as another form of storytelling and because it's just so damn fun. :D Writing just sort of comes to me naturally. Drawing is something I have to work for, which only compels me to pursue it more. Each new drawing I've made only made me want to try more ideas. Hopefully I can keep improving until my drawing becomes decent. X3 That is all. :3

Tumblr sketches
General | Posted 11 years agoI put a couple up on my tumblr just to show my progress with drawing. I guess if they're well received, I might put some on here. But for now go watch: http://xarnakansar.tumblr.com/ that is all. :3
Woo!
General | Posted 11 years agoOff till Monday! I'm...sooooo tired. *flops* that is all. :3
Jury Duty -_-
General | Posted 11 years agoYup stuck in a room with strangers, not exactly what I want to do today. But it gives me time to do some drawing practice I suppose. At least they have wireless, thank God. That is all. :3
Anyone Have Drawing Tips for a Beginner?
General | Posted 11 years agoI figured I might as well ask seeing all the amazing artists here. :3
Drawing progress update
General | Posted 11 years agoSo um...I think I'm making progress. I do practice sketches during my lunch breaks at work and during slow time. I tried drawing Sonic characters since they're fairly simple. It turned out to be a great idea, and I'm starting to understand anatomy better. The problem is that I'm so worried about getting everything right, I lock up and get nothing done. It's been a problem since I was a kid in many things. So...does anyone have any advice regarding drawing bodies? That is all. :3
^^;;
General | Posted 11 years agoI want to apologize to those who I have requests from. I swear I will work on some of them this week when I get the chance. Getting used to work is taking longer than I expected. That is all. :3
Update
General | Posted 11 years agoSo my job is going well, keeping me EXTREMELY busy. Seriously, it might take me awhile to get into a comfortable rhythm or schedule. Been practicing drawing as well...well doodling but still practice I suppose. It might be awhile before I start writing regularly again. But the job comes first. So stay tuned. That is all. :3
I GOT HIRED!!!!
General | Posted 11 years agoAfter nearly a YEAR of job hunting, I've landed a REAL job. It's a desk job, but it pays really well. I'm just....oh my God I'm so happy. Just have to go through a security check since it's a government job. But still, <3 Happy wolfie. That is all. :3
Back from Vacation
General | Posted 11 years agoHad a great time with my dad and bro down in North Carolina. Though the traffic coming back home was a nightmare. Anyways, on the way back I decided that I should be more organized in terms of drawing and writing. So I'm setting up an organizational system to keep everything up to date and on track. Also praying that I get the job at the FDA, I could use the cash. But yah I'm home again. That is all. :3
On Vacation
General | Posted 11 years agoHi guys! Made it down here alright and there IS WiFi. Yay! Though I am very busy with my bro and dad so don't expect me to be as lively as I usually am. X3 Too tired to write anything else. That is all. :3
Heading on Vacation
General | Posted 11 years agoYup going to North Carolina with my dad and bro. Don't know if there will be wifi or not. If not, I'll be back around the 24th. That is all. :3
Otakon 2014
General | Posted 11 years agoWhat a blast! I had a great time, got lots of stuff....really really tired from all the walking. x3 It's the one time of the year I get to publicly indulge my inner geek. I saw a couple fursuiters there which was a pleasant surprise, and there were a few furry themed booths in the dealer room. Anyways I'm now going to collapse out of exhaustion....now. *flops* That is all. :3
Otakon this weekend!
General | Posted 11 years agoWoot! I'm so going this year! Not in any special outfit though due to money and time limits. But still, it's gonna be awesome! <3 That is all. :3
Adding Me on Skype
General | Posted 11 years agoPlease, please, please IDENTIFY YOURSELF. I will not instantly recognize someone based simply by their id name. That goes for AIM too. I'm sorry, but I've had too many people try to add me just to talk dirty or harass me. If you want to talk to me, fine. Rping, fine. Working on a trade or something like that, also fine. Ok? Good. That is all. :3
Friend of mine is doing an art raffle!
General | Posted 11 years agoNeed to Clear Something Up
General | Posted 11 years agoI read something on Tumblr that made think about how I approach my writing and such. Some people say 'oh anything I draw is terrible, I hate myself' and so on. But in my case, I've just always assumed I was average or below average. Completely serious. I know that sounds a little arrogant, but it's true. I've always assumed I was behind everyone. It wasn't until recently that I realized that assumption was completely wrong. I wrote a story for someone and they practically praised me. As usual I said it wasn't that great, but then the person insisted and described exactly what they loved about the way I wrote. That was a big shock to me that others didn't write the way I do. I still think there are better writers than me, that's a given. But I'm a little more accepting of the idea that I'm not terrible. So that's progress. X3 That is all. :3

Away this Weekend
General | Posted 11 years agoSo I'm taking a trip to Busch Gardens with my little bro this weekend, both of us need some time away from our parents, and they agree they need some time to themselves as well. It'll be my first ever all planned by me trip. :3 I'm excited, got the hotel, the park tickets. All we need now is the car. I want to take his Mini since it's better to drive and more comfortable then my old boring stiff Civic, but that remains to be seen if we can. So yah. That is all. :3
Job Interview today!
General | Posted 11 years agoYes, I finally got one that I might actually want. Crossed fingers that it works out. That is all. :3
