Hi every one I'm just here to tell you about my first vlog that tells you how to win some free art. Link is below.

Vlog

I hope you all have a nice day ^-^ and good luck to thos who enter.

Hi every one ^-^ It's been some time since I last made a journal. Well any way, I've decided to start a little raffle for free art. The main reason for this is to increase the variety of art in my gallery and hopefully bring in more potential customers for my commissions.

Now how do you enter this raffle? Make a comment on each Speed Paint video I upload to YouTube to receive a number that will be used in a random number generator thing to pick a winner. The winner will get one of any thing that is on my Commissions Price list for free. You must comment on all four videos that are uploaded in a month to enter, and don't worry if you can't get on when I upload them, I'll be drawing the number at the end of the month, so plenty of time ^-^ You and watch and comment on all four with three days to go and it will still count. In the rare chance that five videos go up in a given month, you only need to comment on the first four.

So to start things off, here is the first video for this month: Speed Paint Ep 10 - Meru: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IlkHEUIyH0

Hello every one. I'm still here.

Any way, I'd like to talk to you guys about a new trend I've noticed on many art sites. For over a year I've seen a lot of artist offer a YCH (your character here) commission where one or more people can pay to have their character in the pre-posed image. Most slots in these images are auctioned off while some has a set price with a first come first serve type of deal. It seems like a lot of money is made from them.

What do you guys think of them and do you think I should start doing them as well? Let me know when you think.

I've really been neglecting my art work for this whole YouTube business... I've been doing will on youtube so far. I will try to get some more art done at some point because I already have one in progress and some ideas for some more, they're all gifts for artist I really admire... So yeah.

Hello every one ^-^ It sure has been a while. I've mainly been making Minecraft videos for YouTube, that's one of my reasons for a lack of art and that I've had no idea what to draw. Any way, here is the progress video for the recent picture I've completed, I hope you all enjoy it ^-^

Hi every one ^-^

I just thought I should do an update to let every one know what I've been doing... not a whole lot XD
Any way, I started making videos and uploading them to youtube, here's my channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/ThunderKitsune. You can also find me on facebook now (https://www.facebook.com/ranos.fox), don't expect me to add every one as a friend tho. I'm very picky about who's on my friends list.
Also I'm currently working on page 14 of Boobs and Nuts for thos of you who are interested. I'm also out of ideas of what to draw, maybe you guys could give me some ideas on what I should draw next. This doesn't mean I've reopened request, so don't include your own characters.

January was the last time I updated O_O I really should update more, I always forget to tho XD

Anyway, the reason for the lack of art is because of work and the loss of motivation. One of the other reasons is because I started programing with AC3.0. as you all see with the Combat Prototype V1 that I made.

There is an item I'm after and I'm wondering if any one can help out with it. This is the item;
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00BSVADDY/ref=s9_wishf_gw_d4_g147_t?ie=UTF8&colid=27U1IZWSP26E5&coliid=I24VHDJ240C94H&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=right-3&pf_rd_r=0S74HRJ6XB828KRNHRQ6&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=469296553&pf_rd_i=468294
I have £520 for it already and I can get the item for £760 and on 9 August I will be able to put another £180 towards it, so I'll only need £60 more. Donations of any amount will be greatly apreciated and I'm open for commissions.
Commission price list: http://ranos.deviantart.com/journal.....date-221589962 (will be updated shortly)

I know there are some of you who would like to help but have no money to donate for buy art from me, there is still a way for you to help tho, just spread the word and that will help greatly ^-^

I don't update this often O_O Any way, may computer is working again. it stopped working because of a corrupted stick of RAM. My grafics card also died because of it. My RAM has been replaced and now I'm on 16GB RAM insted of 8GB RAM. I've also replaced the died grafics card for an updated version. So my computer is now better then it use to be.
I've also got Halo 4 and my SR (Spartan Rank) is proceding well.
I've also started a new manga I'm going to be working on while I'm at work, and I can't upload it to DA and SA due to the gore and sex scenes that will be in it. You will be able to read it when it goes up for sale when it's done and I only plan to have 1 volume of this manga.
On other news, I am currently working on page 12 of Boobs and Nuts, once that is done I'll start work on other images.

Due to some problems I've been having with my computer, with it crashing and resetting while I was playing a game, and some times it wouldn't even start back up, it's now almost dead... Luckly I got all my data onto the laptop I'm using right now. Acording to what my computer is saying, the main boot up file is corrupted. I'm using the Windows 7 disc to try and fix it. it's currently running a test pass, it's at 71% and hasn't moved for a long time. I'm taking it into the shop tomorrow if I can't sort it tonight.

It's been way too long since my last update O_O Any way, as some of you should know, I havn't been up-loading any art because the power adapter for my scanner died and I couldn't find a replacement (requied voltage was too low). The cheapest opition would be to get a new scanner, but I've decided I want a tablet, and I have found one that I want, but it's very expenceive. Here's a link to it; http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wacom-Cintiq-Interactive-Display-Product/dp/B003AP65GK/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=20HO7W18WPGUT&coliid=I3GYJVQRLFZZEB
If every thing goes according to plan, I'll have it around January-Febuary time next year. I'm sorry but you'll have to wait till then for some art from me.

Also I'm working on a mod for Skyrim.

The adapter for my scanner is dead T-T I have three picture to scan too, one of them being a valentines pic. As for the Boobs and Nuts fans, I have an idea for the next page and I'll get round to drawing it on paper at some point in the next 30 days or so (cos I'm lazy). Any way I have also pre-orded a PS Vita, who else is getting one?

The net has been a little funny with me latly by not working all the time. I have a lot of art to do... I need to get them scanned. I've also lost all the data on my external hard drive... I need £500 to send it to a lab to get the data off it now, that's not going to happen any time soon.

Any way, I've finished building my new computer. It's powerful ºwº hmm... I need to get my scanner installed. I lost my watermark so I have to make a new one, all I have to do is scan it in and colour it.

My comission price list will be changing soon, so keep an eye out for it.

I recently moved house and will not have the net at my new house for 6 weeks... Meh T-T I'll miss you guys.

My external hard drive broke... and that had my line art on it. I wont be able to finish my art until I get it fixed. Hmm, not like I was doing much of it any way... WoW has been too distracting, it's also the fact I'll be using Photoshop insted of GIMP. I've also just notest it's been 5 months since my last journal O_O

...Yet

XD Sorry for the slow art out-put. I have around 10-13 pictures I'm working on right now and I've also been distracted by WoW.

I needed a new update, I haven't updated since July.

Any way, a lot of my time will be taken up soon because of a manga I'll be starting for a site to help it make some money to keep it going. I also have some more pics on the way.

I'm just working a little...... very slowly recently.
Things I'm working on now;

Tick Tick comic (based on a poem by :devnightottsel:)
Boobs and Nuts page 10.
2 pictures of Mink from Dragonhalf.
"Shadow of Death" A pic of Korokasa.
A pic of Zekoma.
And a cute little pic of me and Vulsya.

I would also like to say I no longer take request, and I'll only do art trades when I feel like it.

Don't take any of this seriosly XD

Ranos recently had the idea to sell his urine as a canned beverage. We know this beverage as Red Bull.

People have often asked the United States, What is your secret weapon against terrorists? We simply reply...Ranos.

There is no Control button on Ranos's computer. Ranos is always in control.

People created the automobile to escape from Ranos...Not to be outdone, Ranos created the automobile accident.

When God said, "Let there be light", Ranos said, "say please."

Google won't search for Ranos because it knows you don't find Ranos, he finds you.

Ninjas want to grow up to be just like Ranos. But usually they grow up just to be killed by Ranos.

Ranos doesn't open a can of whoopass. He makes his own.

The only time Ranos was wrong was when he thought he had made a mistake.

Ranos can split the atom. With his bare hands.

Contrary to popular belief, the Titanic didn't hit an iceberg. The ship was off course and accidentally ran into Ranos while he was doing the backstroke across the Atlantic.

XD I couldn't resist.

Pisces Secret Desire: To live their dreams and turn fantasies into realities.

Description:
Mysterious and alluring individuals, most Pisces are extremely talented, but even though they are gifted in many ways, they still manage to spend most of their lives battling "confusing" conditions. Pisces is the sign symbolised by the image of two fish. Their symbol depicts one fish heading upward, the other pulling downward. This mirrors how Pisceans are frequently torn between two pathways in life, or actually do live two very different existences at the same time.

The number 2, is a very powerful number for them. This zodiac sign is acknowledged as being the Saint and the Sinner rolled into one; the trendsetter of fashion or art, the lost soul, the philosopher and the psychotic and the visionary. As a credit to them, considering their many vulnerable characteristics; Pisceans are incredibly adaptable and resilient. They are to be found leading the field in many diverse areas of life and many Pisces can be found represented amongst top business millionaires. On the other side of the coin, prisons, reform schools and all kinds of institutions statistically hold a high number of Pisceans too.

The Piscean's inner quest to explore their "ivory tower" syndrome can lead them into some most unusual and unlikely living conditions. Of all the signs of the zodiac, Pisces are the ones who end up in the most muddles over the years of their lives. They fantasize about situations, people and particularly romance - and because they spend so much time in their own form of 'fantasy land' this can catch them short in other more worldly areas. Because of this inner world of fantasy, Pisces people seldom perceive whatever is going on around them in its true light. They see life instead as they want to see it, coloring their view of the world in hues and tones far removed from its true reflection. No wonder this is the sign of both miracles and disillusionment. If you are a Pisces, be warned your emotions are a weak spot.

One thing that plays havoc with your life is romance. When things romantically are going well for you, you are on cloud nine. When romance turns sour you land in a heap. Pisces often need to take lots of holidays (or time off) to recover from life's many diverse pressures. You are the zodiac's most sensitive sign, so you need to take extra special care of yourself. Nobody can beat you up, as much as you can beat yourself up within your own mind. In your purest form you are psychic, visionary and a guiding light to all who know you. But, in your "out of tune" state, you become depressed, obsessive and confused.

I'm sorry for the slow updateing. I've just been distrated... a lot. I'll try to get back up to speed soon.

And it's all my falt, Because I don't tell any one ºwº Erm, that's all I got to say.
