Bronycon is in Baltimore. What are the odds? It's like a 15 minute drive from my house! Well I know I'm going, anybody else going?

I cracked under pressure and watched the first eight minutes of season three. I won't deny that. But, when I saw what king somber looked like, something felt off. Grey coat, black mane. It was shade. Even down to the black armor it was shade. WHAT DA FUQ. I just... I don't know.

And the winner....

Now, to clarify something. He did enter, just not on the official raffle journal. And no, I didn't make him up so I didn't have to give anything away. Anyways, congratulations. And thank you to all who entered, it makes me happy to see people who want my stuff.
Now, due to the freezing cold temperature in maryland, I cannot give a good shipping date. But I'll try to do it as soon as I can.

So, saw wreck it Ralph today. I have mixed opinions about it. One part of me hates Disney for recycling old plots and not using there resources to their full potential. While another part of me kind of liked the plot and how the movie was handled. Meh, take from that what you will. OH! Before I forget, the other charicters, like zangeif and bowser, they don't stick around. None of them do.

With that out of the way, tomorrow the raffle ends and I will choose a winner. So, if your thinking about entering and have been putting it off, tomorrow until 6 PM EST is how long you have.
AND something that just occurred to me is, I will not ship outside the US. Sorry, being 14 kinda has its disadvantages.

The raffle is running out of time! Only 5 days left to secure a place! Only two people have entered so far, so there is still a good chance you could win.

So I'll try this again. I'm offering any peice of Perler bead art in my collection right now.
Rules
1. You must be watching
2. You must tell me what you want in comments below
3. Repost this journal and put link with comment of what you want
4. If You submit a drawing of shade you get an extra place in the draw.

That's about it. If no one signs up, well that's your loss. Good luck to those who enter.
And also, if you submit a drawing, don't make it half-assed. Please.

Edit: I will end it two weeks from today.

Yeah, title says it all. It's not that I've been busy, I've just been out of it. I haven't really had a good reason to bead since what I'm making isn't pulling the amount of favs I used to get. So I really don't see a reason to do it.

I'm insulted. Really I am. I recently commissioned a piece that features Axel, one of my older OCs, and when it was finished a comment said that the author should write a fanfic based off HIS character. The author was kind enough to explain that it wasn't his OC, but still. This proves two things.
1. Some people are just stupid.
2. I'm in obscurity.
Yeah I know 500 is really big, but I got here through Perler beads. If it weren't for them I'd barely have 50. But as for my OCs, they're just gathering dust.

Man. It's been one of those weeks. Nothing but pain and frustration nonstop. Greeaaat. Anyways, if you've been paying attention you will have noticed the lack of art around here. Mostly because of the amount of studying I've been doing for a essay. But now that its out of the way I've got some free time opening up. Now for what you want to hear. Well, maybe not. Requests. You know the drill.

Have a pony OC but no pictorial reference? Perhaps I can be of some help. I'm willing to draw OC's for free. Now I know what your thinking, what's the catch? Nothing. I'm just trying to improve my drawing skills is all.

It's been one if those weeks. You know? The kind if week where almost nothing goes your way and your on the verge of anger. It's just been hell on earth for me as of late. But enough about me, how are you? Are you doing alright?

I'm just about to finish up an RP, so there is a spot open. Note my and we'll go from there. Just thought I'd put that out there.

After reading some Disturbing reviews on the people to people program, I've found that not only is it suspicious, but kniving as well. Not only did I find the true price to be 8000 dollars, but letters were sent to dead children. That's right, DEAD. And also, when I went to fill out the information, They ALREADY had it filled in for me. Now back to that price, do they really expect my parents to pay $8000 to a completely incompentent program? No! No they wouldn't. And they obviously know nothing about me because they said that they would prep me for travel. I've been to Italy, Germany, France and Canada. I think I've got this traveling thing down pat guys. I'm starting to think that they're thinking more about the money and less about the "gifted students" who they care so much about but treat them like dirt when they leave the country.

Sorry. I... I just needed to get that out of my system before I did something I would regret.

No really, I'm not joking. I got a letter from the people to people program today that invited me to be a student ambassador to china. Only one problem, why me? It doesn't make sense, I'm a straight C student who doesn't respect authority with a horrendous mental background. So does the government really want me to go to china? This seems a little off. And another thing, they addressed me by Alex, A name I haven't gone by since the fifth grade. Even then The only people who called me that quickly forgot. So how the hell does the government know my nickname? Something fishy is going on and I don't like it.

Possibly. I'm just not pulling in enough veiws to motivate me. So, as a result, I'm considering leaving FA. And stop doing art in general. I honestly don't think any one cares any more. It's not official yet. But it will take a lot of convincing to talk me out of it.

*eye twitch* the amount of rage that is in my body is undescribable. So we went cabin camping this week. Something I already despise. So we were promised a cabin with water, lights and a stove. We got none of that. On top of that we were there for a huge thunderstorm. Then when I come back I find I have 2 pages of English, and two pages of government due tomarrow. And also my head phones are busted to smithereens.

Yes that tumblr now exists. Doubt any one will pay attention to it though

Well it's time I put shade to some good use and give him a personality. Only one problem. I cant really draw ponies well. I mean yeah I can do it but it takes like an hour. So I need to know, should I make it text based or find someone willing to work with me? (which would probably be no one) what do you guys think I should do?

Because of how easy high school is (I have a feeling that'll come back to bite me in the ass later) I have been graced with unbelievably huge amounts of free time. Also, if you couldn't tell from the 5 minecraft pics, I'm starting to scrape the bottom of the barrel for ideas. So yes I'm once again taking requests. Also since I have your attention with the bait of free requests, ever wonder how I do what I do? How hard it is to place every bead down one by one? Well ask your questions here because I'm to lazy to make Tumblr account.

Its been a while. My dad had a conversation with me that I think I can sum up in four words. You'll amount to nothing. I can't help but feel like he's right. But I make good grades in school and get through tough situations. So I don't know why. It felt like he took a shotgun and Blasted my heart to smithereens. I'm just in a real rut right now. If you read this thanks. At least some one cares for me.

Okay, so I've decided in the time I've been doing this little business I have had absolutely... No commissions. Huh, well that's interesting. So I've decided to do a little contest/business stunt. The winner shall receive a 3 perler works free of charge. Please don't make it the size of a human body. Please. The rules are simple.
1. Impress me with a piece of artwork which includes shade (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/8590890/)<-- that's him
2. Be original with it
3. Contest will close in two weeks
4. Tell anyone that you think will be interested
Thank you to all that enter (which will probably be no one). And I wish you luck.

So uh, I was wondering if I started a group for perler bead artists if someone would want to help. I mean, it would be the first group for that kind of artist on FA. And I think it would be kind of cool to have a place where different perler artists could meet'n'greet each other and make some good friends.

No, I'm not gonna write any more of the story. Why put my time, effort and ideas into something no one else but me cares about? I honestly should have learned my lesson the last time but I had an irrational sense of optimism. Not the jack of all trades I thought I was. As for the drawings I'm still on the fence about that. Guess no one really watchs for the drawings huh? May as well just do perler art I guess...

Ask them. I've got nothing better to do. I doubt anyone has anything to ask but if you do, please, don't be afraid to ask.
