... Sorry about the big lack of updates again. This is just how I am.

Been trying to keep myself from getting an artblock by creating little Body bases and making clothings for them. Its kind of fun!

Beware! Lots of complaining and crap ahead. If you don't want to read this, then don't. Its more of a venting then anything.

*Edit* The stuff about Magivolve is just what has been bugging me. Magivolve is not bad. I do not mean anything rude by it. There just has been a lot going on, and a lot of stress. This is just my viewpoint at a time where my stress is at a highpoint.*/Edit*
Magivolve has new avatars now. I have mixed feelings about the whole thing. Tried making items for them and my style just does not suite it.
I will keep trying, but it is kind of hard when all the work that went into creating items for the old bases is just scrapped out of no where.
So many WIP's to be deleted. JUST finished making some swim wear that looked awesome! I was proud of how it turned out (because I got the coloring down really good), it all feels pointless now.

*Sigh* I just don't know.
Its understood that Key is doing what he thinks is best for the site... However, since these avatars were made to "better showcase his art" then I guess he would like to create all the items? I just don't know what to do. I am part of the Item Dev Team, yet I cannot make a simple pair of pants for a simple avatar without it looking out of place?

Key is an awesome person. I look up to him. He is very talented. Heck, I wish I could draw half as good as he can... I do like the new avatars really I do... its just hard...

Guess I will get over it..

My job (as easy as it is) gets me so stressed out. When I deal with so many people a day it kind of gets to me. One little thing goes wrong while I'm working and I am already on the verge of a breakdown. Just might not be cut out for work, but how else am I going to save up for when I move out and have to support myself. Or pay for that HORRIBLE HORRIBLE GAS THAT IS INSANELY PRICEY!! I just HAD to move back in with my mom out of town. Nice 40min drive to get to town.
Well.. at least I got a car for cheap off of her, I am very thankful for that. But, it is only because I am working and she doesn't want to drive me all the time.

My car broke down the other day. Cost me only $70 but working part time, paying for gas, paying for my stomach pills, paying for the new plates on the car, etc etc. It really got on my nerves.

I don't think this was mentioned before, but I have a Hiatus Hernia. The doctor put me on some stupid diet. There is hardly anything that I am allowed to eat, which also really stresses me out. (Everything seems to stress me out.. I have no idea how not to stress about things)

However, I will get by. Always do.

END RANT

On another note, I HAVE been drawing a lot. I just have a problem where I have not the motivation to actually scan and post it. Eventually I will, just right now isn't a great time for me.

https://www.magivolve.com

No I am not dead, just lazy. I will upload artwork sometime soon.

(I am going to put this part at the top so people can see:
If you get my 555th pageview, please take a screen shot and show me. I will sketch up a quick doodle for ya!
Also, I should probably make a picture for my 500 pageviews celebration?... maybe.. >.> or I might wait until my 600th..)

Anyways, Im not going along with the joke tutorial idea I had.
It got boring, plus I haven't had time

I just got a job a few weeks ago, and haven't really had time to scan any drawings in...
Plus, I am on the Item Developement team over at https://www.magivolve.com/forum/

Im really sorry for the super lack of posting.. I know that I usually post a tiny bit more then this... Dx
Just alot going on right now..

Thank you for understanding!
(I might scan and upload a couple pictures on Monday.. we will see what happens)

See ya later!
- Sketchy

Okay.. I have to be like the BIGGEST idiot ever!
I JUST now figured out how to color the lines of lineart... DX

Haha.. wow... I never realized what that lock thing was until now...
Yay now I can possibly make better artworks now! YAY
(Unless of course I am lazy.. but I should work on this one thing I started drawing for someone.. yeah! I will start that..)

YAAAY!!!


Hey look I am reposting my previous journal because I suck! XD

---

Alright, I have an idea.
Yes, its an idea that has been used before.. but I want to do it.

The plan is to make a tutorial for each of the sites I am on (Deviant Art, Sheezy Art, Fur Affinity).
The point of the tutorial is to poke fun of the unoriginality of the "original" characters.
(Ie. To make the most original character on Deviant art we must first pick a simple animal. Here I will pick a cat. Then add as many different animals as you can to it. I will add: fins, wings, antlers, bee stripes, an extra leg which resembles that of a horse coming out of her stomach [because that will make mine the most original], and huge feet like a kangaroo. Then add an a creative attribute to the face. I will add a third eye to the forehead that is empty because that means she can read peoples minds.)

This is for the sole purpose of humor. Not to dis anyone or hurt anyone's feelings. Please take this as a joke, it is nothing but a joke, humor purpose ONLY!!!!!!

I need all your help though. I need you to help point out to me re-occuring themes on this site. This includes: Appearance of character (attributes, clothing, make-up, etc.), how the character is used, overused sayings or words (ie. Swears every other word and think it makes them cool), re-occuring stuff going on with the site itself, and anything else you can think of.

So far I have come up with a few things, but its not enough to make the tutorial. There will be a few things that will show up in all. The one unfortunate thing is that for fur affinity I am going to have to, for sure, set it as mature content do to the fact that almost EVERYONE on that site feels that they have to draw porn and only porn. (No I wont draw porn in it.. but Im going to make fun of the fact that every character has a huge penis and they make their character have as much buttsex as possible. However, I wont be drawing out the porn parts because it is icky to me.)

Deviant Art: Hybrid as many animals into your character as possible; Put the most dark and slutty clothing on your character; Make the markings on your characters face to look like "gothic" make-up; Rave it up with as many glow sticks and glow in the dark outfits as possible, heck even make the markings glow;

Sheezy Art: Hybrid as many animals into your character as possible; Put the most colorful and most creative looking (but very revealing) clothing on your character;

Furry Affinity: Hybrid as many animals into your character as possible; Never put clothing on your character; It doesn't matter if you character is a boy or a girl they still have to have a penis, so make the biggest penis you can and put it on your character; Your character now has to have sex with anything that moves in any part of it they can;

That is all I have for now... Please leave a comment and tell me what you think, and leave a suggestion if you can think of one.
This is going to be a big project for me, and I need support.
AND PLEASE! Please please please, don't get mad at this, because I am not aiming the fun poking only at you. I am aiming it at the majority of artists on the site. It is ALL for amusement purposes ONLY if you can't take a joke, don't bother posting and telling me because I will ignore your comment completely if you do so.

(I will not be drawing genitals or orgys or anything of the sort as I am not comfortable drawing that, so you need not worry. Unfortunately that makes it hard to get the point across.. but I WILL FIND A WAY!!)

Thank you all for helping me out
This, hopefully, will be fun!

Isn't it funny that when you go to the mall with your friends and you look down at the person with black jeans and studs but smile at the girl wearing a mini-skirt with a lowcut tanktop that barely covers anything?

Isn't it funny you can change your music taste to impress the people around you but when it comes to a girl who likes her own music and has her own style, you give her a mouthful?

Isn't it funny that a guy can get away with being a "gangsta" but the person who expresses themself gets a mouthful from everyone?

Are you laughing?

Isn't it funny how someone who dresses differently can be quiet all through the week when they get more shit from people than the girl who sleeps around and sells her virginity?

Isn't it funny that you dont mind your friends drinking or smoking but
the minute someone mentions punk, emo, or metal music you can give them a lecture on melodramatic teenage outcasts?

I'm not laughing.

It's so funny that you and your friends can make a girl's life hell and not know anything about the silent battle she might be fighting.

Isn't it funny that you can call emos, punks, and goths attention seekers and rebels without a cause but still manage to get through your day without an inch of guilt in your heart?

How can you call someone a poser or label them for being themselves? How can you say to someone "YOUR EMO" OR "YOUR AN ATTENTION SEEKER" without spending a second trying to figure out why there are cuts on their wrists and why they spend their lunchtimes crying instead of laughing with their friends?
(Now I do understand that some people take it to the extreme and DO do it for attention, but that isn't the point here. Also, I realize that slitting your wrists is NOT a healthy way to releave yourself of the world around you.)

Keep on laughing.

Isn't it funny how you can say this without any idea of what is going on in this person's life...

Without knowing her situation with his or her friends...

Or his or her
family...

Or his or her LIFE?

Brave isn't going on a stage and stripping....

Or dumping your significant other...

or embarassing others and making them feel like crap.

Brave is not just getting up on stage and giving a speach...

Brave is...

Going to school and not -FOR A SECOND- care what people around you are saying about your clothes.

It's listening to your own music, and being proud of it.

It's going through everyday with the things people say to your face and behind your back and you just pick yourself up and carry on.

It's knowing that your friends are people who accept you for who you are, not for who you want to be.

Brave is knowing that tomorrow may not be bright and happy but yet you continue to live life to its fullest.

How would you feel if every day of your life you were put down by the people around you, your friends, even your parents. Put yourself in someone else's shoes and take a look around.

Not too fun is it.

Go ahead, keep on laughing.

In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth and populated the Earth with broccoli, cauliflower and spinach, green and yellow and red vegetables of all kinds, so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives.

Then using God's great gifts, Satan created Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream and Krispy Creme Donuts. And Satan said, "You want chocolate with that?"
And Man said, "Yes!" and Woman said, "and as long as you're at it, add some sprinkles." And they gained 10 pounds. And Satan smiled.

And God created the healthful yogurt that Woman might keep the figure that Man found so fair. And Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat, and sugar from the cane and combined them. And Woman went from size 6 to size 14.

So God said, "Try my fresh green salad." And Satan presented Thousand-Island Dressing, buttery croutons and garlic toast on the side. And Man and Woman unfastened their belts following the repast.

God then said, "I have sent you heart healthy vegetables and olive oil in which to cook them." And Satan brought forth deep fried fish and chicken-fried steak so big it needed its own platter. And Man gained more weight and his cholesterol went through the roof.

God then created a light, fluffy white cake, named it "Angel Food Cake," and said, "It is good." Satan then created chocolate cake and named it "Devil's Food."

God then brought forth running shoes so that His children might lose those extra pounds. And Satan gave cable TV with a remote control so Man would not have to toil changing the channels. And Man and Woman laughed and cried before the flickering blue light and gained pounds.

Then God brought forth the potato, naturally low in fat and brimming with nutrition. And Satan peeled off the healthful skin and sliced the starchy center into chips and deep-fried them. And Man gained pounds.

God then gave lean beef so that Man might consume fewer calories and still satisfy his appetite. And Satan created McDonald's and its 99-cent double cheeseburger. Then said, "You want fries with that?" And Man replied, "Yes! And super size them!" And Satan said, "It is good." And Man went into cardiac arrest.

God sighed and created quadruple bypass surgery.

Then Satan created HMOs.

Just a post to get rid of the last post.. lol
On the 9th it will be mine and my boyfriend's 5month...
Time goes so fast... 4 months was my longest relationship before this...
I luff my Lyle... <3

http://www.whiteninjacomics.com/com.....birthday.shtml

Not really going to celebrate it with friends because I have no social life due to the fact that I live on an acreage and people don't want to drive out there...
So I am just celebrating it with my mom's side of the family (today and Sunday) and then my dad's side(Saturday. My dad probably won't stay long though... he never does).
Uhhh... Uhmmm... yeah..

*Runs away*

Hey, I find this interesting. If you don't believe in God.. then don't complain to me or flame me because I do... Now if you want to read this then read it.. if not then DON'T!

Something Not To Laugh About


If they know of him at all, many folks think Ben Stein is just a quirky actor/comedian who talks in a monotone. He's also a very intelligent attorney who knows how to put ideas and words together in such a way as to sway juries and make people think clearly.


The following was written by Ben Stein and recited by him on CBS Sunday Morning Commentary:



Herewith at this happy time of year, a few confessions from my beating heart: I have no freaking clue who Nick and Jessica are. I see them on the cover of People and Us constantly when I am buying my dog biscuits and kitty litter. I often ask the checkers at the grocery stores. They never know who Nick and Jessica are either. Who are they? Will it change my life if I know who they are and why they have broken up? Why are they so important?



I don't know who Lindsay Lohan is either, and I do not care at all about Tom Cruise's wife.

Am I going to be called before a Senate committee and asked if I am a subversive? Maybe, but I just have no clue who Nick and Jessica are.

If this is what it means to be no longer young. It's not so bad.

Next confession:
I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish. And it does not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up, bejeweled trees Christmas trees. I don't feel threatened. I don' t feel discriminated against. That's what they are: Christmas trees.

It doesn't bother me a bit when people say, "Merry Christmas" to me. I don't think they are slighting me or getting ready to put me in a ghetto. In fact, I kind of like it. It shows that we are all brothers and sisters celebrating this happy time of year. It doesn't bother me at all that there is a manger scene on display at a key intersection near my beach house in Malibu. If people want a creche, it's just as fine with me as is the Menorah a few hundred yards away.

I don't like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don't think Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians. I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period. I have no idea where the concept came from that America is an explicitly atheist country. I can't find it in the Constitution, and I don't like it being shoved down my throat.

Or maybe I can put it another way: where did the idea come from that we should worship Nick and Jessica and we aren't allowed to worship God as we understand Him?

I guess that's a sign that I'm getting old, too.
But there are a lot of us who are wondering where Nick and Jessica came from and where the America we knew went to.

In light of the many jokes we send to one another for a laugh, this is a little different: This is not intended to be a joke; it's not funny, it's intended to get you thinking.

Billy Graham's daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane Clayson asked her "How could God let something like this Happen?" (regarding Katrina)

Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response. She said, "I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for years we've been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and to get out of our lives.

And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out. How can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us alone?"

In light of recent events...terrorists attack, school shootings, etc. I think it started when Madeleine Murray O'Hare (she was murdered, her body found recently) complained she didn't want prayer in our schools, and we said OK.


Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school. The Bible says thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as yourself. And we said OK.



Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when they misbehave because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem (Dr. Spock's son committed suicide). We said an expert should know what he's talking about and we said OK.

Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves.

Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out. I think it has a great deal to do with "WE REAP WHAT WE SOW."

Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell. Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says.


Funny how you can send 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing.

Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion of God is suppressed in the school and workplace.

Are you laughing?

Funny how when you forward this message, you will not send it to many on your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it.

Funny how we can be more worried about what other people think of us than what God thinks of us.

Pass it on if you think it has merit. If not then just discard it... no one will know you did. But, if you discard this thought process, don't sit back and complain about what bad shape the world is in.

Okay, this account may not be updated as much. If you have a Sheezy art account.. just add me on that. I update it with more stuff.. like photos and drawings and all that shit. Even that doesn't get updated very often though. I need to start scanning a bunch of pictures that I have finished.
ALSO!! I have another character I created.. but I am not scanning/coloring/posting her until I got a name for her...

On another note.. this isn't for a LOOONG time.. but in January my mom is going on her honeymoon with her husband from the 3rd-10th and they are going to Mexico. So since it will still be winter I will be stuck, inside the house with nothing to do but clean. So I will probably be making lots of updates (unless my bf can get those days off.. then he could keep me company... in a non-sexual way.. jees, you perverts!!)

Also, I may end up with a job... this will suck.. because with school I get so stressed out. Even with only 2 classes I have already cried during one exam.. and almost did during another. Im not sure what it is.. school just depresses me and makes me feel so stupid. Yet the teachers say I am so smart.. they just don't get why I don't pass tests.. or have the motive to finish assignments. I wish I knew the answer to those questions.

I just finished watching the Hellsing series with my bf(3rd time for me 1st time for him ^___^) We also watched The Maxx (I had only seen up to episode 9&10 and he hadn't seen it at all) the end really left me going.. "... What????" lol XP So now we are going back to watching Naruto.. we are only on episode 80something.. he has seen alot more then I have.. but we like to watch them together. When we are caught up with Naruto we will go back to Bleach and back and fourth. lol

Wow, this journal update is long....

Oooo.. Me and my bf have been dating for almost 3 months now.. 4 months is the longest any of our previous relationships(with others) have lasted. So the day after our 4 month we are going to celebrate a "After 4 month" lol We don't celebrate 1month 2month etc. Not sure why.. its just kind of a waste of time really..

Well.. I need to header to bed..
Good night
Take care
God Bless

GAH!!!!
Im so screwed over right now!
I finally got internet out here, BUT my laptop crapped out on me (adapter is fried due to a power surge) and Im not supposed to be using my 'rents computer because its 'only for schoolwork' BLARFGKSLJFO:SEKLFM

Anyways, Im really sorry about not posting.. I will try to find a way to at least post some sketches/lineart...
Hope everyone is doing well!

- Sketchy

I am going to be gone until Sunday evening, so don't expect me to answer comments or post art until possibly Monday.
Also, since I have had very little time to myself, and hardly any time to draw I may limit my amount of time on the computer. Therefore any comments, watches, etc. may take a little while to get a responce.
Sorry for the inconvenience, I just have alot going on.. and there is alot I am dealing with.
(Like the fact that I have cried every night for the past 3-4 days... hopefully I don't continue this while at my mom's... Please don't feel sorry for me, I am just letting you know what is going on. I will deal with this on me own.)

Anyways.. I decided to check out this site..
if you want to see old art check out:
sketchychik.deviantart.com
From now on I will be posting all finished artses on here. All unfinished and finished will still go on my DA account.

Enjoy!!
