Black Friday
General | Posted 17 years agoSo... The horrors of black friday have gotten blacker here where I live. Apparently, while the grocery stores had it easy... Well, an employee at a local WalMart was trampled to death by customers who were too busy to get to the sales first to notice that they were stepping all over some dude who was probably more than willing to help in the first place.
Nice going, folks, way to make me feel better about my hometown.

Drama?
General | Posted 18 years agoOkay, just curious, but am I the only one who seems to not hear about most drama until it's over? I mean, I'm on daily, and sudden, I get a couple supposedly late drama-based meme pictures in my inbox. By the time I'm even partly aware of what drama started this, something else meme-like pops up in my inbox, and what I was looking into is old and dead news...
Similar things seem to happen on forums I frequent. One of the had a whole flame war started, resolved, mostly deleted, and a subsequent rule change in it in the 3-4 days I forgot to visit, and I don't even have a clue what this is all about.
Am I lucky or something to miss all this kind of crap, or am I just not well enough known to get pulled in like many others?
P.S.
My dad got me Interstella 5555 for my birthday, I'm happy :D

My Birthday?
General | Posted 18 years agoJust so everyone knows, turning 19 on the 19th! Which sucks as much as it rocks cause even though it's my birthday, I have no money nor a ride to go to the Magic: the Gathering, MorningTide prerelease that same day x_x
Anyway, just saying, gonna be my birthday, if you wanna get me something, either draw something for me, get a commission for me, or send me a month's rent :D Joking on that last part.
If anything, honestly, I'd like someone to draw an anthro version of one of my Pokemon Emerald teams. I call it the Zigzagoon Salvage Squad cause of their pickup ability, though it will be a Linoon squad soon enough so...
First there's the nameless, fearless leader, who's Serious in nature... She gets me the most healing items of the group, oddly. She must be drawn as a Linoon, please.
Second is Thief, who's Bashful, and finds the most X items... Ya know, x speed, x attack, whatnot.
Third is Snag, the Impish one, and coincidentally he's the one who picked up all my Great and Ultra Pokeballs.
Fourth is Gank, who's Brave, and just grabs a bunch of random things. He actually found me a King Rock his first pickup.
Fifth is Klepto, who's Calm, and she has gotten me a total of 10, yes, ten Gold Nuggets. No one else has picked any up yet, it's awesome.
And lastly, there's Yoink, the Hardy one. She's been much like gank, just picking up random stuff.
And yes, I'm serious in wishing for a pic of the whole team for my birthday, if anyone's willing. ^^

Flash?
General | Posted 18 years agoAlrighty folks, I'm trying to learn a bit more about animation and what not, and I see all these people with some sort of Flash program or another that they make their animations with.
What I'm wondering is; What program is it that's affordable but can let me do what I'm trying to do? Which is draw my own animation, with sound/music/whatnot in it. I mean, I've also seen a good number of folks say they drew their normal arts in Flash and I wanna know where to get it x_x

Random Journal
General | Posted 18 years agoI just realized something:
We need more amazing artists doing Black Waltz vs. Vivi fanart. O.o
Fresh-baked, made from scratch, chocolate-chip cookies taste like happy.
I need to go buy my milk.
I wanna draw a black mage as it would look in contemporary times.
Spellcheck doesn't like the word mage.
My hair needs washing.
That cloud looks like a Blade Ship.
And Hork-Bajir are cuddly :D

Officially back!
General | Posted 18 years agoAnd with an SL account too! Catch me on there as Sasayaki Alter.
Back! Well, sorta
General | Posted 18 years agoI got a place to live, got a job, just waiting for my first few paychecks to see if I can afford internet. But I'll be trying to update through the library.
Later folks! ^^
Later folks! ^^
Leaving... [Udates! 1&2]
General | Posted 18 years agoDunno how long, dunno where to... I'm moving, and I won't have internet for a long while. I'll be trying my best to keep you all updated though...
Sorry for such a short notice...
UPDATE: Got a job, looking for a place, comp's all packed so no new art for a while. I might be back sooner than expected! If all goes well anyway. Might be a while before I have regular internet again.
I need to get myself a wireless modem for my desktop so I can tap other people's networks ;D
UPDATE #2: Got a cellphone, land-line's dead.
Found myself a nice studio apartment close to work, they take small pets so I can keep my cat, Bo. Working at a library right now, so... yeah, no new art.

A request for my watchers!
General | Posted 18 years agoI would like to see people color my line art! see how they would see the critters and characters. I'd also like to see folks come up with their own Vael based on the descriptions I've given in their pics.
Just keep in mind for the vael: Their main element and their main habitat have strong impacts on their colors, but the head pieces are always black for females, white for males.
That is all! Thanks. ^_^
PS: Comment here if you do draw/color something for this request. :D

General | Posted 18 years agoIdeas please!
General | Posted 18 years agoI'm in a bit of an artistic dilemma. An idea I've been toying around with has only really half-formed, and I need a little help.
I'm doing a pic of six elements (Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, Light, and Dark), with six creatures and weapons, one for each. Here's what I've got so far:
(Element: Animal/Weapon)
Earth: Snake/War Hammer
Fire: Lynx/Sword
Wind: Owl/Bow and Arrow
Water: ???/???
Light: ???/Depends on wielder(has ??? merged)
Dark: Bat/Depends on wielder(has Gun merged)
Any ideas? And something NOT cliched for the water please.

Important news, Please read
General | Posted 18 years agoLife's a bitch. I need to find a job. I need to find a place to live. I'm not out of highschool yet. My older sister's job sucks and she's underappreciated at her work. My lack of job and place to live once my dad moves to another state is worrying my mother terribly and is not good for her health.
And I need to fix almost all of this within the next few months. Cause I don't want to be a bum, I don't want to move out of state, and I don't want to be another burden on my grandparents (my aforementioned sis is trying to move out for their sake.)
All of this is really digging a crater into my inspiration and motivation to make art.
And it also means there will come a time later this year where internet is not gonna happen on a regular basis like it does now.

10 things every fur should know
General | Posted 18 years ago... but have a tendancy not to have the common sense for them.
10. Yes, artists deserve the "ridiculous" prices they charge. Consider the fact that your average pic takes about four hours from sketch to final coloring: if you pay $40 that's $10 an hour. So no, $10 is not an appropriate price for a full-color, full length drawing.
9. Just because they draw pr0n doesn't mean they'll draw your pr0n.
8. Bitching at an artist every hour until they do your commission is not a good way to motivate them.
7. Just because she's submissive doesn't mean she wants to submit to you. Just because she's domme doesn't mean she wants you as a pet.
6. It's okay to live and let live. The fact that they don't share your interest doesn't make them a bad person. Pushing your interests on them makes you a jerk.
5. Chatting with someone for five minutes does not mean they love you, nor does it make them your friend, your mate, your buddy, nor even a casual acquaintance.
4. Believing you're actually a dragon in a human body is fine. Thinking this makes you so much better than everyone else out there makes you a narcissistic jerk.
3. It's spelled HUMAN. H-U-M-A-N. If you use "Hyoomon" in serious conversation, you are either a Ferengi or a moron.
2. Buying a commission from an artist does not entitle you to cybor or picz. Buying a book from Barnes and Nobel doesn't entitle you to a free bj from the author.
1. When in doubt, remember Winston Churchill: "A fanatic is someone who can't change his mind and won't change the subject."

Prom!
General | Posted 18 years agoIt was this saturday... Had a good time, chatted, got dragged onto the dancefloor (twice) by some girls... Who're -MUCH- stronger than they look. That was awkward, let me tell ya. Can't dance for the life of me. Not around other people anyway.
EDIT: Oh, yeah, I rented a tux too!

For you MTG players...
General | Posted 18 years agoMy best "Timmie" deck ever, great for being annoying in casual play.
"UR Poked"
Lands
7 Islands
7 Mountains
4 Steam Vents/Volcanic Islands
Creatures
4 Prodigal Scorcerer
4 Rootwater Hunter
4 Zuran Spellcaster
4 Prodigal Pyromancer
4 Vulshok Scorcerer
4 Gelectrode
4 Razorfin Hunter
Other spells
4 Psychic Purge
4 Statecraft
4 Death Spark
4 Lava Dart
4 Spark Spray
Total card count: 66
The point of this deck is simple... All but one non-land card deals only 1 damage, thus 'poking' your opponent. And Statecraft is to keep you from taking combat damage. Statecraft also happens to be the most expensive (mana-wise) card in the deck. If you can't afford the Dual/Shock-lands, get pain lands. If you can't afford those, just replace them with more basics.
I don't build decks that win, I build decks that are silly and fun... When you're not playing against the kinda player who's all too serious about the game, that is.

B-day, this friday.
General | Posted 19 years agoI'll be turning 18. nothing special planned... Aside from going to the prerelease for the new set of Magic: The Gathering, for once getting one of those cool promo cards. Oh, and I'm getting Star Wars Battlefront 2, for the sole purpose of being able to beat my dad at yet another game, since he seems to have figured out Soul Calibur... :3
I can't wait for Supreme Commander to be released commercially... I'm gonna buy it even though my comp can't run it XD

Another bandwagon!
General | Posted 19 years agoAlrighty, since I made a deal with Corgi on his journal (and someone else's I believe)...
First ten people to comment on this journal get a free sketch. BUT! they have to copy and paste this in their own journal as well. I will check before actually drawing anything.
RULES: nothing adult. While I may be old enough for such come this friday, I won't do it anyway. Also, one character, I'll need reference, and basic personality description so I can get something right for once. And... I do mean it's just a sketch. Simple, sorta, and no background... unless I get inspired or something. Ya never know.
It will be a long while before I get it up though, as I am having issues with getting myself motivated to draw.

FIRST 10 PEOPLE TO REPLY TO THIS JOURNAL GETS FEATURED ON HERE (a.k.a. I'll dive into your gallery and choose three of your best deviations (in my opinion) and post them up here
You have to put this in your journal if you choose to be one of the 10!
Next journal after this will be similar, but first thing's first ^_^
EDIT: Alright, I won't be giving very detailed whys as to the reasons behind picking them, I'll just post the pieces and a short statement. ^_^
First up, CyberStormAlpha! More as more post, neh? :3
1: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/242715/ Nice story, interesting plot (albeit slightly cliche in the sense that "man creates 'hybrid', man uses hybrid as tool, hybrid becomes unhappy and vengeful, war erupts between man and hybrid". At least he does a great job with it :3)
2: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/242741/ Short, simple, and amusing. To me at least, I dunno about the rest of you, but I feel safe in assuming many, if not most of you would agree.
3: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/271294/ Um, well... You'd have to know abit about the main character to like this little piece, but hey, I like it, it's a fav, so it's featured.
