I Have EVERYTHING
Posted 15 years agoEXCEPT A FUCKING TABLET.
I SWEAR TO GOD. I have everything I could possibly want except a tablet. I don't care how shitty it is. I just am so tired of feeling left in the dust by digital artists while I dink around back here with my limited traditional art. I love the way pencil strokes look against paper, certainly, but when it comes time to clean them up and color that shit, it just doesn't do it for me. I stare at whatever I've created in disgust and want to just chuck it.
I constantly feel like the art world is going to leave me behind if I don't get a tablet. But I don't have a job, so no money, and I'm pissed. ._.

Huuuuuuuh, swamped artistically.
Posted 15 years agoI've got two things I'm working on that take up most of my time. This break is great though, I'll be sad when it's over. I'm getting A LOT done.
I've basically abandoned the OC challenge for now. Too many OCs. All of them. Rella uses draw OCs. It's not very effective.
But so, I've been working a lot on OC art for this thing I'm writing called Wings. Possibly because I've inadvertently given myself an obsession with these characters, or something, I DUNNO. But, then, there's this new series I want to work on which will most likely end up here. Can't remember what inspired it, but it's going to be called Babiez Я Us, and feature my favorite furry friends and I as small children. c:
I think it's going to be totally cuuuuute in a non-pedo way.

I think I'm inspired?
Posted 16 years agoMy friend Shawn wants me to go to California in a couple weeks. To see a Phish show and hang out with him while he's west coasting and shit. But anyway that's not what inspired me I just had to get it off my chest.
What inspired me is, I thought to myself, "If I were to draw Shawn as an anthro character, what would he be?" I'm torn between a goat and a cat, so I believe he'll be both just to try it out. I've been also toying with the idea of adding horns to my fursona. I've been drawing, ish, lately, but with the new laptop not being hooked up to my scanner I've been lazy about getting any of it up. Batface.
Ah, well. Life goes on. In other news, I'm back in contact with my dad, might get back in a relationship with my ex, am losing my best friend even though we JUST became friends again, and have been obsessing over buying graphic novels. Also school sucks bawls. Just saying.
Graaahwannagotocaliforniatoseeshawnandphish. T___T
This week is such an fml week. Srsly.

I haven't had much time for art lately.
Posted 16 years agoI got a new laptop, my birthday was the day before yesterday, uhhh, school. Sickness. The usual. I haven't even been able to work on my characters, which is going to take me forever. There's 136 characters total, and I have to draw them ALL.
*sigh*
Oh well. I'll get around to art sometime soon, I hope.

Flurrrg, life.
Posted 16 years agoSo. I've been gone for quite some time.
It started because we moved into the new house, and let me tell you, I'm quite happy here. My room is spacious, and I've got a bookshelf, and although I had to clean heroin off of it, a new dresser. I love how much space I have in here. But for the first few days, we didn't have Internet yet. And then, Ryan called, saying that his parents figured us out and would prefer if I went to stay with them BEFORE he went to college, so he wouldn't be harboring a barely minor in his dorm for a week. And oh by the way I leave in three days.
So I had that glorious adventure. It was awesome. Florida is such a pretty place, and Ryan... well, Ryan is amazing. :3
I broke up with Donavon when I got back. I just need some space, y'know? I need time to myself, before I can just commit myself to someone else. Time to figure life out and be on my own for a bit.
So that's basically it. <3

New house buzz! :D
Posted 16 years agoSo, we went to see the new house today. They signed the lease, and we were stopping by so that my mom and I, who hadn't seen it yet, could check out our new home.
I loved it! My new bedroom will be bigger than the one I have now, and omg, I get my own closet! This is a big thing for me. Literally everyone in my house uses MY closet for their storage needs. So when they need a coat at 7am and I'm sleeping they just barge into my room and get it. Or when my mom needs her bag, no matter the hour or what I'm doing, she ruffles through my closet looking for it. So glad I'm getting my own goddamn closet for once.
Also, there's 2 1/2 bathrooms, as opposed to the fucking 1 we have here. I'm so happy about this. But my grandpa had to fucking ruin it, because he's a goddamn douche bag. I guess we were supposed to be checking the house for things that were broken or for like holes and whatnot. And while we were upstairs, he was doing that in the kitchen. We come back down to him in his usual fucking "Ask me what's wrong so I can get openly pissed" state. Except he doesn't wait for us to ask. No.
"Where's the sheet?" (We were recording it on a sheet of paper the real estate people gave us.)
"I left it in the car. We didn't find anything wrong, so - "
"You never check anything! The back left burner on the stove doesn't work and the latch is broken on the sliding door!"
Then later he had a fit about the closet door in the master bedroom being off the track, which I noticed, but didn't say anything about because that's a simple problem you can FIX YOUR GODDAMN SELF.
So, grandma dinked around with the burner. It worked. She messed with the lock on the slider, which indeed was broken, but that doesn't matter anyway because those locks are meaningless and we're putting a stick behind the door anyway. He just had to act like he had some superior intellect and that us stupid women can't do a thing on our own. And then, because the world revolves around Floyd goddamn Funk, he said "I gotta get going." And so we had to leave.
Yeah.
I still like the house, though. Food adjacent, close to the mall, right by the skate deck, nice inside.
I can't wait to move! :3

Noteworthy. <3
Posted 16 years agoSo, yeah. Definitely noteworthy.
Guido picked me up, and I walked outside to see Miriam in jeans, a t-shirt, and her standard striped fedora. I immediately thought Woah, they're casual, this is not a good sign. Because I was kinda snazzy/dressy. But when we got there, after much giggling and car fun, I was relieved to see that the dress code was not strictly casual. So, we wandered around, and looked at art, and it was really nice. I liked so much of it. We went upstairs and saw Ann, and looked at the pieces she had. I liked them. One of them had some writing on it, and it was pretty thought provoking. Stuff like "Would you want to be one of the ones who survives through the hardships, or one of the ones who's troubles are over? Do you have the strength to be a good person?"
Then we wandered into this room, and there was an artist asleep on the couch. So we proceeded quietly and looked around. She woke up, and directed us to the corner of the room where her art was. Which was, coincidentally, the art that had caught my eye at first. Her style was amazing. I love the subtle lines she created with oil paints. And the pictures presented themselves were amazing. We talked for a while. When I got home, I drew her, as you will see in my gallery. The show inspired me to get a little creative with my coloring. I really like the way it turned out. Especially the butterfly.
Anyway, I had a great time. Art shows are the bomb diggity. xD

Another day, another unnecessary misadventure. xD
Posted 16 years agoIt wasn't that bad though. Today has basically been good; I packed, I got books, I showered, food and I had a brief but very enjoyable fling... xD Let's see.
I woke up early... well... early, for the summer, and wandered into the hallway to make my usual morning bathroom pitstop to find my family in a frenzy of packing shit up into boxes and garbage bags. So I realized that today was the day we were finally going to start packing, grabbed muhself a couple garbage bags and started packing things from my closet, my dresser, and the surrounding area.
Then, my mom and I decided that we needed to go to the library, and we talked my grandma into it. So I sat on my bed reading over some old writing of mine while I waited, and then we left. I got some books, and then we took mom to Dollar Tree so she could get some pens, and then we went to McDonald's because I hadn't eaten all day and I was about ready to start testing the car's upholstery for edibility. So I came back here and McGasm'd, and then felt fat for a while because I always feel fat after fast food. xD
But I just got out of the shower, and then Guido called, and we're going to an art show. She's picking me up around 5:00. A friend of ours has a couple pieces in the show, and we're super proud of her. The only problem is that I don't have adequate clothing, but that problem can be solved quickly. Because seriously, I am not showing up to an art gallery in jean shorts with writing and beads all over them and a low-cut tank top. So lacking class. xDD
But yeah, that's my day in nutshell. I might post reviews of the art show later, if I feel it was exciting enough to be noteworthy.

Ho, hum.
Posted 16 years agoMy life has come down to this:
one part RuneScape,
one part MSN,
one part FurAffinity,
one part creative spewing,
and one part chocolate.
I kinda miss last summer. I mean I was lonely, but at least I wasn't confused. Ho, hum. Who needs a life when you've got teh interwebz, eh? xD
At any rate, perhaps I can find some sort of a job thing and buy myself a tablet. That would be nice. My art could definitely use some.. improvement.
