So this is a little late because honestly, I forgot to write this. I spoke with the winner and it never occured that I didn't officially announce the results. Whoopsie on my part.

But anyway, so the raffle came to a close last night and I can now officially declare the winner is.....

Look forward to hearing from you all!

So it's been a heck of a long time since I posted anything here, but that's jsut because, well.. there's been nothing to post! But I've got a couple of things to share with you all, so look forward to that. I'm going to be uploaded some of my own crappy sketches on top of what I posted today in the coming days.

However, I would also like to bring attention to something I started up a while back, and that is my Patreon page. Now, I'm no artist by any stretch of the imagination, I doodle now and again, but this Patreon is to help fund my RL weight gain. I'm not exaclt well off in the money department so I can't really afford to buy the food required to put on more poundage, so I'm forced to ask for help. If you're interested, you should check out my page here: https://www.patreon.com/sumapanda

Thank you anyone that can support me and help this panda grow as big as his Sona~

Today, I finished my last ever university assignment. I have officially finished my third and final year of university! Now to start looking for a job x3

I'm officially a grown up. I feel both very happy and very scared, because it means I need to actually think about what to do with the rest of my life.

I loved university overall. There were a lot of ups and downs, but I'm so glad I stuck with it and saw it through. Now I just need to wait for my results to see if I can officially graduate this November!

So I've been playing the Batman Arkham series games quite a lot lately and I've come to a decision. If they make a fourth one, as in a sequel to City. I would like Scarecrow to be the, if not one of the, main villain. I think it would be a great concept for him to have spend the last game plotting, mass producing his powerful fear gas and planning to cover Gotham in a shroud of it to watch the citizens tear their own city to shreds through fear. It would make for a dark and eerie game, much like Asylum was, but also including the open world aspect of City and Origins.

These are just some thoughts I had because Scarecrow is my second favourite Batman villain and to only see him in one of the games is a little disappointing to me.

Let me know what you think of my ideas

Stole it from  Strowh (Thought it would be fun ^^)

RULES
1. Open your music library.
2. Put it on shuffle.
3. Press play.
4. For every question, type the song that's playing.
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button.
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool.

Songs:

Opening Credits: Super Smash Bros. Brawl OST - Mother 2 (Melee)
Wow... quite fitting in a way. Not epic or anything, but happy

Waking Up: sbeast - Dragonborn (Skyrim main theme metal cover)
What an epic start to the day!

First Day At School: Between the Buried and Me - Disease, Injury, Madness
Hmm... okay... not really appropriate here... unless it's a demon school

Falling In love: Out of the Cradle - Rush
Hmm... all right then

Fight Song: Disturbed - Stricken
Well... that worked out nicely

Breaking Up: After Forever - Leaden Legacy (The Embrace that Smothers)
Hmm... has the right moody aesthetic

Prom: Kansas - Carry on Wayward Son
Just... YES

Life's OK: Between the Buried and Me - Obfuscation
Hmm... I guess it fits?

Mental Breakdown: Marilyn Manson - (s)AINT
Huh.. possibly if the breakdown was about the breaku/p

Driving: Bring Me the Horizon - Off the Heezay
That's some aggressive and awesome driving music

Flashback: House vs. Hurricane - Introduction
Maybe if the flashback is about scary little girls from The Shining...

Getting Back Together: Neonfly - Morning Star
Hmm... are we getting back together in Saudi Arabia?

Wedding: Interpol - PDA
Hmm... I guess it could work...

Birth of Child: Dream Theater - The Answer Lies Within
Umm... okay?

Final Battle: Tool - Vicarious
All of my yes. Possibly not fitting for a final battle, but epic nonetheless

Death Scene: Killswitch Engage - My Curse
Hmm... Yeah, I'll say that works and see what happens

Funeral Song: Porcupine Tree - Arriving Somewhere But Not Here
Wow... almost too apt

End Credits: Kevin Sherwood (Feat. Elena Siegman) - Abracadavre
If it ends with a Zombie apocalypse, otherwise, this is completely unfitting

Hope this gave some insight as to what music I like to listen to and that you enjoyed reading

So I thought I'd throw an update up as it's been soooo long since I really did anything on here...
Things are going up and down right now... for example, my second cat passed away two weeks ago nad I'm only just now starting to re-group from it. Also, my step-grandfather passed away very recently, so that was another shock to overcome.

But other than that, all is well. I'm currently in the midst of writing my first proper story and, so long as I don't forget about it, I'll have it finished and uploaded on here for your potential enjoyment soon.

Before I leave you to get back to your lives, I want you to have a think about something... Is it progression if a cannibal uses a fork?

Think about it and leave your thoughts in the comments, I'm curious what y'all think.

Toodles!

Hey people that actually read these things.

Just thought I'd make a quick update here because I've not really done anything in a while.
I'm currently enjoying the freedom of having finished my second year of university, studying Popular Music. It's been a tough year for various different raisins, but I managed to make it through in one piece, just about.

I kind of want to try my hand at story writing over this long summer break (As I have nothing until mid-September. Yeah, uni is awesome like that) so if anyone that reads this has an idea for a story then go ahead and leave a comment, I'll be willing to try pretty much anything. I just want to give the written arts a try.

As for drawing... I won't be drawing anything new until July (As that's when I move back home and I left my desktop there which is much easier to do drawings on) so again... any ideas, I'll attempt them.

And music... I have a couple of things ready for upload but I'm unsure if anyone will want to hear them (They are the compositions I wrote for my assignments this year) so yet again... let me know if you want to hear some of my music.

As for life... I'm doing okay for the most part. I'm getting therapy for my Social Anxiety Disorder finally and that's going quite well, much better than expected actually. I've also been depressed a lot less often as of late, possibly due to the lack of stress produced by the university work. All in all.. I'm doing all right.

That's it for now I suppose, let me know if you ever want to chat or anything and remember..
Be excellent to each other.. and party on dudes!

Peace!

Fun fact: I just realized that a couple of weeks ago, it was my three year anniversary of joining this site..

I want to just say thanks to everyone on this site that has been good to me over the last three years, I've met some great people and made some brilliant friends. I hope to meet more people and make even more friends ^^

Have a nice day!

Hey everyone. Just a quick update on things so you know I'm not dead or whatever.

The last... well... ages has been really tough for me. Depression has nearly crippled me, made me fall behind on classwork and has estranged me from my friends. pretty much grinded me to a halt. Those that I talk with regularly have been really great to me and I can't thank them enough. Particularly  forte and  ororonezru They have really REALLY helped with things. I will also be starting counseling on the 15th of April, so hopefully that will help too.

It's not ALL doom and gloom though.  Malex_wolf has made me feel better about myself too and has been a true friend. I can't thank him enough either.

Once Summertime rolls around and I have finished all my assignments, I'm going to try drawing again. I'm also going to try my hand at stories, so look out for those.

Hope all of you are well and that you have good fortune in all you attempt.

Have a nice day!

Here we go folks... It's actually happening. I'll be streaming drawing in about 5-10 minutes so tune it please!
Join in the fun over here: http://www.livestream.com/musingsofapanda

Peace out, y'all

Just a heads up that either Saturday or Sunday night, I'll be streaming.
I want to draw a birthday gift to myself because I don't have enough friends for them to draw me one :P (I'm only joking, I'm doing it becuse I feel like it)
It's going to be a challenge fo me, because I want it to be of myself alongside all the people who've supported me or have actually wanted to be my friend, so it's going to be the most characters I've attempted to get into one drawing. I'm not even sure if it will be possible (Given how incredibly fat some of my friends are :3)

Anyways... this is just a bit of notice so you can make sure your schedule is free ^^

I'll post a new journal closer to the time.

Peace!

Well... one week today I turn 20. Two decades on this planet and I feel like I've accomplished bugger all x3

Ahh well... I guess I just feel old because after next monday, I can't say I'm a teenager anymore and become a fully-fledged adult. Scary stuff!

Anyways, I just wanted to say this, has no real meaning behinds it, just waffle. Go about your lives now people.

Might draw a picture for myself if I feel up to it.

Anyways...

Peace out

Hey everyone, little late, but I hope you all had good Christmas' and new years.

Yeah, I'm back at Uni now, first class is on Wednesday.
I just want to say I'm sorry to some people... I promised to do some streaming over the Christmas break, but with everything that happened at home, I just wasn't ever in a drawing mood to be honest... I'll try and make up for it in the Easter break, and definitely in the summer break.
That's pretty much it.
Oh yeah! And it's my birthday in two weeks! ^^ Jan 28th.
I'm going to be 20... two whole decades on this Earth and I haven't managed to mortally wound myself through my clumsiness. I call that a win.

Anyways, peace out, homees

I'm now officially home for Christmas. Meaning more time properly online rather than just on messengers on my phone.
I'm also thinking about starting up streaming again in the very near furture, so keep your eyes peeled if this appeals to you!

All is well now, considering. Been a bit weird being at home with only one cat, but we're all managing and Jasper is loving the extra attention he's getting.

Have a good one, guys.

Peace!

May seem over-dramatic, but it feels this way to me...
This evening at 9 pm, I got a call from my mother, which is odd as she only rings on Sundays... She says she has some bad news... I was already welling up when she said that, bracing myself when she mentioned: "Smudge"
Instantly, I collapsed to the floor, my legs giving way as I burst into tears repeatedly saying "no..." to my mother... Devistated...
I cried for at least an hour before finally returning back to the living room to join my housemates in front of the T.V. I couldn't focus, I could barely speak for I feared that anything would set me off again. That cat was the world to me, and to be suddenly taken from me was the cruelest of fates. This is the first time I've ever lost a pet, other than a fish, and I've never lost any close family members either, so I've never felt this kind of pain before in my life. Especially as we had him since I was 4 or 5 years old. I'm 20 in January. He was very old for a cat.
He went peacefully and didn't suffer at all when it came for his time to go. Apparently there was nothing that could've been done, it happened so suddenly. It turns out he'd developed diabetes and his kidneys had failed. My parents were with him when he went... but I couldn't be because of stupid university... That's what hurts the most. That I couldn't properly say good-bye to him. He was pretty much MY cat. He'd always sleep in my room with me, lay with me on the sofa while I watch T.V. or play video games. We were basically never apart. I loved him more than anything in the world. And now he's gone. I can't actually believe it...
My mother asked me what we should do with him now. I said he should be buried in the garden. It's only fitting because if he wasn't with me, he'd be there. That house is also the only home he's ever known, as we got him when he was just a couple of weeks old. We're going to try and do it next weekend when both myself and my brother can be there to say goodbye to the fluffiest member of our family. So in the meantime... I write this journal in tribute to one of the two best cats on the world. The other being my other cat, Jasper, whom is still alive and well thankfully.
Rest in piece, Smudge. I will love you forever and always, whether you're with me or not. You'll forever be in my heart.

I reeeaalllyyy need to get back to drawing and stuffs... it's been ages since I have and I kind of miss it... I just never find a good time to draw these days, unfortunately...

...That is all...

(This was also just to let people know I'm still alive)

Peace out, y'all!

So yeah, internet got installed much much quicker than I'd expected, so... I'm back! Though online activity will be erratic for a while, I'll try and be on as much as possible!

Hope you didn't miss me tooooo much *grins*

Peace!

Well... this is going to be my last journal of the day so I thought I'd take the oppertunity to say a final farewell before I go. I leave tomorrow (Technically today) for uni and, as mentioned in a previous journal, I'll be without internet for a few weeks and then even when I do have it, my activity will be eratic.
Those of you who chat with me on a regular or unregular basis, I bid you a fond farewell and hope that you can cope without your fat panda :3

If you drop me notes, I'll get back to them ASAP, I always respond to them.

So this is it... Fare thee well, true believers and newcomers alike!


Peace out!

Yay! I'm going to get things underway soon-ish. Got a few things to sort out then I'll get cracking.
So expect me to start in anywhere from 20-60 minutes

Peace out!

Okay, so I'm planning on doing a stream this evening, seeing as it'll be my last chance for a while. I hope to see the regulars there, plus maybe a few new faces. (Honestly, it would make my day if you come on down.) I'm going to be colouring a picture for a friend and then drawing an original (Which is also technically a gift for someone...) But anyway, I'm hoping to get started at about 11pm-12am (GMT) and just keep going until I can't. So I could be going until 6am if it comes to that.

I'll post another journal closer to the time, so this is just a heads up to keep your schedule open!

Peace!

Next Friday, I'm going to be moving back to University. As I'm living in a student house this year rather than halls, my internet access will most likely be a bit... well less so than previously. For exmple, it looks like I will have no internet at all until October and when I do get it, I'm not sure how often I'll be able to get online due to me actually probably wanting to socialise with those I live with and seeing as I don't have a laptop, I can't do both :P
So just a heads up for those who might actually care that chatting with me and my streaming AND my art will be a little less... well frequent starting September 14th until December, when I come home for Christmas, then again until March/April for Easter, then the same until Summer.

But anyway, I'm sure this news won't actually ruin anyone's day, so go about your business ^^

Peace!

In... well, later. Probably an hour or so.
Gots drawing to do!
