For the first time in a year or longer, I. just. heard the roar... of THUNDER.

Oh mann. I'm gonna go out for a drive now and see if I can chase the storm. :DDDD

Do you all like thunder storms? :)

EDIT:
Murphy's law, mann. Right hwen I go out to chase the storm and get on the road, it stops raining and the sun comes out.

WHYYY.

Anyways, thanks to whoever commented. I'm gonna reply to you all soon. ^^

I stole this from  romanpower because it looked fun and i'm bored, and I thought i'd put something new in my journals. If yeh don't feel like reading it, you dont have to. :)

10 Things I wish I could say to people:

• Grow up? NO. How about instead of me growing up, YOU become a kid again. Now lets go play on the swings. |D
• I. Dont. Want. To. Go. To. School. Anymore.
• Want to be friends? (Just to random people without getting shot. xD)
• Stop whining that things arent printed up in your language. Your country wouldn't give me that courtesy if I went to live there.
• Why do we grow to work, work to live, and then die anyway? Why don't we enjoy life? Why dont we live life?
• I wish you realised what it means to be someone's friend.
• Please accept me for who I am. Just because I don't want to go out drinking every night or I don't like your choice in music, doensn't mean that we can't be friends.
• Peace.
• Yeah, i'm a black sheep. Yeah, i'm different. Yeah, I probably wont be as successful as you. Yes, I'm comfortable with that.
• What's your favourite colour? (|D )


9 Thing about myself:

• I've got some horrible eyesight. Take my lenses off, and it's the equivelant of opening one's eyes underwater.
• I have been a vegetarian since I was two years old. That's the age I learned where bacon came from. Kid you not.
• If I stay up past my usual bedtime, much later, I start acting tipsy.
• Dunno why, but I find purebred guys facinating to look at, from any ethnicity. Not so much sexy, just amazingly attractive to look at.
• I have trouble letting things go, whether it be thoughts, people, or material items.
• I have a few weak spots on my body from previous injuries and if I end up banging them, I become enraged rather than hurt.
• I try to buy shoes made of cloth rather than leather, and buy things not tested on animals, but i'm against PETA and i'm not one of those nuts who tries to force people to go my way or the highway.
• I love all aspects of Mythology. I love Foo Dogs(REAL foodogs. not those new toys out that look nothing like foo dogs -_o), Snow Lions, Maneki Neko(Lucky cats), and Ganesha especially. :)
• I've got lots of emotional problems. I just don't know how to properly act in some situations, so in turn i'm very shy and introverted.


8 Ways to win my heart:

• Accept me for the crazy ass that I am. xD
• Love nature, though ya don't have to be a treehugger unless you want to.
• Don't pressure me.
• Don't hide your own feelings or thoughts.
• Accept me for my mind and heart rather than my sense of fashion or my body.
• Be honest with me.
• Be my friend.
• Trust me.


7 Things that cross my mind a lot:

• The future
• The past
• Escape
• Failure
• if I should be pressured into doing things just to make a temporary friend.
• My mom and her welfare
• very random short lived thoughts about anything and everything that I usually end up forgetting anyway. xD


6 Things I do before I fall asleep:

• Lay down.
• Check online messages
• cover up (Even in the summer dude. I have to be a certain temperature before i can fall asleep. x_x )
• close my eyes.
• make sure doors/windows are properly locked
• say goodnight to whoever's at the house (Including my pets. xD )
...And not neccesarily in that order, mind you. |3


5 Places I want to visit:

• TIBET
• UK, Anywhere in england
• Brazil, in the amazon.
• Africa.
• India.


4 Things I'm wearing right now:

• My zip up hoodie.
• socks
• lol, woodstock T shirt.
• Jeans.


3 Musical artists I listen to often:

• Pink Floyd
• Gorillaz
• Tool


2 Things I want to do before I die:

• Go to the places I listed above, at least 2 or three of them, if not all.
• Make my family proud of me.. for something. Anything.

1 Confession:

• I don't feel like i'm worthy.

Mann. Why do I hafta have such lousy irl pals?
The only time one of 'em talks to me is if she wants something.
I took her along free to a Gorillaz concert back in april (I'm not rich or anything, I won the tickets. xD. but still.. I bought hotel and paid for petrol. ), and we had a great time and all, but.. I didn't hear from her again until the end of april, and that was only a phone call asking me to cover her shift at work. Then she comes into work the beginning of may, and I hadn't seen her since the beginning of april.. She asks for a piece of gum, and leaves.

Yesterday I got tons of text messages (She knows I cant text because it costs me loads of moneyper message, and i told her only in an emergency), asking if i can cover for her at work again this week. she kept calling and pestering me. She caught me online and IMed me, a nd I flat out told her no, because i already requested that day off for this week. I requested it a looong time ago, too. She only works one day the whole week and she's always trying to get people to cover her shifts.

UGH. Sorry. Sorry.
I dunno, mann.
When I want to hang with her, just to hang out or go for a drive, it's always "Naw, i dont feel like it today." but when she wants to take the day off to party, I have to kiss her feet or something? I just.. I dunno.

I wish i had more friends, mann. I miss having people to talk to.

Just so this journal isn't totally pointless; How are you all doing? What's been on your minds lately? :)

Countdown till me Birthday~
29 days.

..Exactly one month till my birthday.

It'll be a new milestone for me, considering I haven't died yet. :)

This year I'm asking for grocery store gift cards, lol. I am the definition of starving artist. |D

---

I'm still working on free arts/trades, guys. My schedules have been really kicking my butt lately though. Forgive my slowness, but they are coming.

=-=-=-
Hah, in other news, I was on my break lastnight and drew a picture of a giant possum on the back of a pizza box witha ballpoint pen...

Would you guys want to see that in an upload? xD
I'm not sure what I want to do with it yet. But on the bright side, it folds up prettty nicely.

---

Who in the world started that? xD

And sorry guys; i'm not too into those memes. they are sorta like chain letters, and to me using paint to slap some artificial colour onto an animal picture isn't art. (I dont mind looking at it though, the above is just my opinion, so don't hate me. ^^; )

..Not to mention, Icykat is kind of an odd duck. Got any -real live- gargoyle pictures lying around? xD

=-=-=-=-=-

Anyways.
I'm still working on the rest of the free arts. It's just taking me awhile because I have a lot that needs to be done this week, so I havent been drawing much. Here's the updated list:

1. SinKaline; 's gonna be a trade! :D Sin quad- Inked, base colour ready; Teh Dullard Anthro- computer inking about 40%.
2. PsychoticBubble - Fursona Sketch-COMPLETE
3. KangarooBear - Badge Trade! :D - COMPLETE
4. Lyrus- Fursona Sketch. :) COMPLETE
5. Romanpower- Fursona Sketch. :) - Inking, about 50% done

My apologies for the wait. ;; Hopefully I will finish Sin's D inking and Roman's Sketch by today.

=-=-=-=-=-

I'm trying to type up an actual full bio of sorts on Icykat. This is gonna be full detail about her anatomy, her past, etc. I wont be sharing it, though.. Just thought i'd let you guys know my projects is all. xD

=-=-=-=-=-

Hey, guys! I thought i'd ask you all a question. I asked this out on DA back when I was more active there, and since I have a small group of friends here now, I'll ask you guys.

MUSIC. What sorts of music do you all listen to?
Don't be shy. ;D

I ask because I am a lover of all music. The only music I generally don't like is the kind that is constant barking/screeching, music without a good beat/tempo, or music that is basically just spoken word with background music. -_-

Otherwise, I love to learn about different bands, genres, and songs.

So if you have any reccomendations for a band or a certain song you really like, i'd love to hear it! :3

=-=-=-=-
Cheers,

So I thought i'd draw some free stuff for some people.

First five people to comment get a free sketch?

But there is a catch.
I want to make friends here. I want to get to know people. Right now I guess since i'm still "new", not many people know me or are willing to get to know me, and it's sort of a comment by comment basis. I'm not looking for some kind of committed friendship (Unless you guys want to be that good of friends, haha.), but I would really like to know people here.

SO.
In order to get a sketch, here's what I want you to do:
-Tell me something about yourself you don't mind sharing. It can be your favourite food, or what you like to draw, or anything at all.
-Ask me a question. Please make it appropriate.. If it's something you wouldn't ask your grandma, don't ask me. ^^; But I want people to get to know me too. Ask about my fursona, or about me personally.
-Have a look through my gallery, and please give me a thoughtful comment on a piece you like. If you like, I'll also return this favour.

and finally..

-Let me know what you want drawn(one character, please.). First come first served, and please make this appropriate as well. I'm not gonna draw anything I don't feel comfortable with. also, depending on what you want drawn, it may not be fullbody I don't have much free time in my life, but I will put effort into these sketches. ^^

1. SinKaline; 's gonna be a trade! :D Sin quad- Lineart+inked; Teh Dullard Anthro- linearted.
2. PsychoticBubble - Fursona Sketch-COMPLETE

So, after a long absence, i've returned to FA. Hopefully to make some new friends, and let others enjoy my art here.

I'm Icykat.
My "Breed" is pretty unique, as is my art. I use my own style, so you're either gonna like it or hate it, but I do my best to give my all when it comes to making arts.

My style is usually digital, but lately i've been trying to open up my horizons and practise with traditional methods.

I tend to draw animals and rarely i'll try an anthro or two, but it's tough for me to get the humanlike anatomy down.

I'm really easygoing (And a 'damn hippie' as my friends like to call me), and I love to make friends and talk to people. I'm looking for friendship here as well as anyone who has a love for art, music, or whatever happens to float your boat.

Icykat is part gargoyle, part unspecified wildcat. She's always been this way, a nd always will. She's been my fursona since 2000-01. If you have any questions about her, or me for that matter, don't hesitate to ask.

Nice to meet whoever reads/replies to this. Peace. :3
