I'M STILL ALIVE!!
Posted 12 years agoOh, like any of you thought I was dead? More importantly, did any of you care? It doesn't matter, I figured it was time for me to bring you guys an update. And what better a day to update; not only is it the day after I finally graduated high school, but it's also my 18th BIRTHDAY BITCHES!! THAT'S RIGHT! I AM LEGAL NOW!! SUCK ON THAT!!
I'm just messing around. I know it's been a while since I uploaded any artwork (jeez, the last time I did was almost a friggin' year ago!). But, I've just been too busy; trying to pass all my classes, looking at colleges for next year, trying to get more work shifts so I can buy tickets to Kumoricon 13', and balancing a social life on top of it all.
Plus, this hasn't been the best year emotionally:
1.) My beloved Golden Retriever Maggie passed away in January at the young age of 6 years old. She had been living with cancer for months by then, taking it like a champ, when it finally got to her and she became too weak to even go for those long walks she loved to take. So we had her put to sleep. That was one of the most depressing days of my life.
2.) About a month later, a little Golden Retriever puppy named Lexi popped into my life. She's a beautiful little ball of energy, complete with, and I'm not kidding here, a naturally grown mo-hawk on her head! Despite how happy I was, I felt like I was betraying Maggie's memory by moving on so quickly.
3.) Just before the school year ended, one our seniors at the school had suddenly committed suicide. Apparently, he was an outgoing fun guy and no one knew he had been depressed. I didn't know the guy at all, but whenever I hear about things like that, it really hits me hard.
So yeah, not the most heartwarming year for me. But, now that I finally have free time, I can focus more on my art and writing.... at least until I get the second job my parents are forcing me to get.

RANT/VENT + WATCHERS PLEASE READ!!
Posted 13 years agoAnd I looked into the abyss as the final days of my summer ended. Yup, on Wednesday the 5th, I officially start my senior year of high-school. Let's re-cap how fucking shitty last year was:
1. I started my junior year still depressed about my uncle's (who I never really got the chance to properly know) death from cancer the year before; and then, half-way through the year, my grandpa (who was stricken with Alzheimer's since I was 5, so when I was finally old enough to have common knowledge and get to know him better, he could never understand who I was) suddenly and unexpectedly passed away. The shock left me in denial and so emotionally depleted, I couldn't even bring myself to cry while I was accepting the truth.
2. I was constantly having fights and arguments with my parents, sometimes about my grades, sometimes about my aggressive pessimistic attitude, and sometimes about absolute bullshit. It was still emotionally painful.
3. I almost failed two primary classes, which would've meant summer school.
4. At one point, I actually had a double emotional/nervous breakdown and went certifiably insane for a short period.
This year WILL go better than last year; no more D's on my grade transcript, no more procrastinating with important classes (hell, I only have FIVE classes out of EIGHT periods to attend), and no more cliched drama at home with my family. I'm sick of that shit and I would like to get along with my parents for a change. Also, I'm going to start taking the psychiatric therapy my parents make me do more seriously; after all, it's pretty obvious I need help.
On the brighter side of this journal, I got into my AP Art class with the great art teacher I had last year who helped me a lot. I also managed to get a 'Late Arrival' on Odd Block days and 'Early Dismissal' on both Even and Odd Block days; (my school splits its 8 class periods into 4 hour-and-a-half long classes per day; Odd Block: Periods 1,3,5,7 ; Even Block: Periods 2,4,6,8). This means I have more time to get work done faster after school, which means I can work on art and upload more often.
P.S. I know most of this journal feels like a pity party, which is obviously annoying to many of you. But, I'm just venting for the sake of venting; NONE OF YOU HAVE TO TAKE ANYTHING FROM THIS JOURNAL'S DEPRESSING CONTEXT OR LEAVE ANY COMMENTS RELATING TO SAID CONTEXT, WHETHER THOSE COMMENTS BE NICE OR RUDE!
Speaking of art, I never got any replies on that last journal I posted, asking if I owe any of you watching me some promised gift art, trade art, or requested art. PLEASE, LEAVE ME A COMMENT HERE IF I OWE ANY OF YOU ARTWORK! I DON'T LIKE BEING IN THE DARK ABOUT SUCH THINGS, AND I WANT TO KEEP THE PROMISES I MADE TO YOU GUYS!!!
As far as I know, I owe art to:
REQUESTS-->
zachtehshadowwolf (Artwork Content: confirmed; Sketchwork: still in the "prototype" stage; Inked Lineart: not started)
TRADES-->
syrahfairbairn (Artwork Content: waiting for your content specifications so I know what you want me to draw)
GIFT ART-->

RULES OF GIFTS, TRADES, AND REQUESTS
Posted 13 years agoThese are the rules on any artwork I make for other people. I do this for fun and it's a great way to practice drawing. I won't do commissions yet, because I don't have PayPal, so commissions aren't possible; and I'm not skilled enough yet to be paid for my artwork.
RULE#0: I do gift art for whoever I like as an artist. Simply put, if I enjoy your art, I'll do a drawing of you fursona (with your permission first) and post it on my FA page. I'll also e-mail the completed scanned drawing to you if you request. If you don't, I'll keep it to myself.
RULE#1: This is NOT a trade offer. You do NOT have to draw me something in return. If you want to do a trade, then request a trade. Also, feel free to request a new drawing of your fursona, if you don't like the original one.
RULE#2: ABSOLUTELY NO MATURE OR ADULT ARTWORK REQUESTS. I DON'T DRAW THOSE KIND OF THINGS.
RULE#3: If you want to place a request, please note me. Or, leave a comment on this journal. Bear in mind, once the artwork is finished, your comment will be hidden. (This is due to my own personal paranoia of "protecting the privacy/interests of those who made requests")
RULE#4: If your artwork is a request, then the artwork's content is totally under your control. I'll only do the request if you tell me what you want me to draw. Otherwise, I'll go crazy and struggle trying to figure out what the perfect drawing for you is, to the point where trying to make yours perfect interferes with my work on other requests. IF YOU MAKE A REQUEST, TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT DRAWN, IF YOU DON'T, THEN YOUR REQUEST WILL BE THROWN INTO THE VOID AND IGNORED.
RULE#5: REMIND ME ABOUT THE ARTWORK. I don't exactly have the best memory out there, so if I accept a request from you and you don't hear from me for a while, please drop me a note asking how the artwork is coming along. This helps me keep track of my requests and trades, as well as keep you updated on my progress.
RULE#6: DON'T BE SHY ABOUT BEING INVOLVED OR BEING CREATIVE WITH YOUR REQUEST. If you make a request, PLEASE feel free to get involved with the drawing process. For example, I'm not that developed at coloring drawings or shading them, plus I can't do digital work on any drawings because my computer sucks and I don't even have a tablet. So maybe I can do the sketch inking and line-work and you can do the coloring/shading process. It doesn't matter what you want to do, be as creative, involved, and specific with the artwork content and process as you want. It doesn't matter to me.

I MIGHT DIE TONIGHT.......
Posted 13 years ago...that's if I leave my house right now, which I am shit scared of doing, thanks to those motherfucking coyote packs in my neighborhood. It's 11:30 and pitch-black outside, aside from piss-poor streetlights, and the coyotes decided: "Hey now's a good time to all start howling for no reason so we'll all sound like banshee-wolfman-ghosts! That'll entertain the neighborhood!" FUCK YOU COYOTES!! I'm so scared that if I go outside (without a spotlight and an axe on standby) I'll get butt-raped "Amnesia: Dark Descent" style by some coyote/banshee werewolf! God sometimes I hate living next to the fucking woods.
(Ironically, as I was typing this, I looked out my window and saw 8 of those coyote fuckers running down the hill past the front of my FREAKING HOUSE and straight into my neighbors BACKYARD!!! Now, my parents want me to take the dog out for a walk..... I'M SO GOING TO GET FUCKING MAULED RIGHT NOW!!! ;__;)

Just a littke update
Posted 13 years agoMy head's finally cleared up a bit and I've rebounded from that nasty flu. Also, my jet lag problems are going away and now my internal alarm clock is wired for West Coast standard time (aren't I witty?) so I can sleep again. Now, I think I'll start uploading a few of those overdue drawings I promised
FYI-- I never got the chance to sort through the submission messages like I wanted to and now the number has grown to 11,387 submissions to look through! Fuck it, I'm just gonna nuke the bastards and be done with it)

I've Gone Into the Abyss & Returned Enlightened!!
Posted 13 years agoWell, not so much enlightened as returned with a really bad case of jet lag. Anyway, my vacation was very fun. I got to see Florence, Rome, Venice, and even Sicily where I met Scarface (kidding! aren't I witty). Unfortunately, I spent a lot of my spare time lying in bed in my cabin on the cruise ship, coughing my lungs out. I got the flu on the third day of the trip and I'm still recovering. I felt so horrible that I could barely bring myself to draw and when I did, I only had the energy to finish coloring or inking a few old sketches I started months ago. Oh well, I shouldn't complain too much cuz I still had a lot of fun. When I get the chance, I'll steal my dad's camera so I can download the photos we took and upload them. Now if you'll all excuse me I have 10,788 submissions to sift through. (I'd rather see what I've missed while I've been than just nuke everything)
(P.S. I think I'll upload a few of those old drawings I've had stashed away so you guys can see what I've been working during the school year)
(P.S.S. Do I owe any of you guys trades or gift art I've promised? I need to keep better track of such things, so if I owe anyone something, leave a comment telling me what it is. I know I owe at least 2 people my half of a trade; you know who you are, but I need to know who you are too)

It's Happening AGAIN!!
Posted 13 years agoLast year, I took a little excursion on a cruise ship, sailing through the Baltic Sea with my family for 3 weeks. It's happening again, except this time we're sailing around Italy for only 2 weeks.
I'm definitely gonna be drawing when I can, seeing as I owe my half of a trade to 2 different people here. I will be taking pictures (I actually have to for my AP Studio Art class's summer project) and I promise to upload all of them, including the potentially embarrassing ones
I leave on June 25 and I'll be officially back on July 12. Wish me a safe trip!!
(At least pray Spain doesn't have a riot-causing economic fallout with its banks or pray that me and my family don't get attacked by some person high on Bath Salts)

Ref sheet raffle
Posted 13 years agoSo

Posted 13 years ago...I'm sorry about the long hiatus I'm on. I'm too focused on staying caught up in school (at this rate, I'll have to take 2 years at community college before I can go to a university for my actual degree) and i have no time to upload artwork. This doesn't mean I haven't been drawing relentlessly for these past months, it just means that I havent got the time to scan them.
If I find enough time, I'm going to do some gift pieces again for those i watch or those who watch me. Many of the people I've met here are very nice and supportive & I believe they deserve rewards. It won't be happening soon, but it will happen. Anyone who wants must note me or leave a comment on this journal saying I have "permission to draw their character"
FOR COMPLETE INFO ON GIFT ART--> http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2594570/
THANKS GUYS, THAT'S ALL FOR NOW!!

Life Just Got A WHOLE LOT WORSE!!
Posted 13 years agoIf God does exist (I rather doubt it) he really doesn't like me right now. First, my computer gets infected with a virus called Windows XP Antivirus 2012 and multiple attempts to fix it resulted in my hard-drive CRASHING! Now, I'm making attempts to back up my memory so I can save my artwork(even though I do paper drawings, so I could just re-scan them) and save my music. From the looks of things, this could take a few weeks. My dad gave me his computer so he could buy a new labtop for himself.
Aside from that, from the way things are going in school right now, I may either have to take multiple summer classes, while working 2 jobs I've already accepted, and still do my summer art programs; or I'll have to repeat my junior year of high school which is something I REFUSE TO DO!! But, yeah. Bad news all around for me
On the small-but-good side of news, I finally got my brand-new totally FREE iPod Nano in the mail a few days ago.

I'm Not Dead/Update On Life
Posted 14 years agoWow, I haven't made a journal in a while. I haven't uploaded any artwork in a while either. Sorry about that people. If you were wondering why, I've been so caught up in school lately. After my disastorous sophmore year, I decided to stop being a pussy and make my junior year really count. Unfortunately, I utterly failed with my first attempt at that. Thankfully, I have really nice teachers at my school, who all met with me (and my parents) to design a plan help me stay on my feet this year. I hope to God that it will work out.
I've been focusing so much on my art class, in attempt to possibly discover and develop my own artistic style. My art teacher and my parents say I'm very talented, yet I know I'm nowhere near as talented as
hyneria who still denies and refuses to except she is amazing at art in general.
I promise I will upload some art in the near future, once I've gotten a handle on my school work. Hopefully, I can pull it off in time for winter break!

Here we go again....
Posted 14 years agoSchool starts tomorrow and, as usual, I'm dreading every minute of it. Doesn't matter, my last week of summer was a blast. Me and my best friend Sam were invited up to hyneria's beach house for a whole week. Who cares if all we mostly did was sit around and play Legend of Zelda, we also had bonfires and fireworks. It was fun and a great way to end the summer.
Thanks again for the fun trip hyneria!!!!

hyneria!!!!Gift Art
Posted 14 years agoI decided that I'm going to do "GIFT ART". What this means (TO ME) is that, if I like your artwork, I will draw your fursona for free (with your permission) and post it on FA for you and your friends to enjoy. If you make a special request, then you can choose what the drawing is of. Otherwise, it is totally up to me what is in the drawing.
If you want to place a request, then you can note me. AND REMEMBER ALL MY GIFT ART IS FREE, THAT'S WHY IT'S CALLED A "GIFT" I'LL DO COMMISSIONS WHEN I'VE GOTTEN BETTER AT DRAWING.
EDIT: This is NOT a trade offer. You do NOT have to draw me something in return. Also, feel free to request a new drawing of your sona, if you don't like the original one.
EDIT#2: ABSOLUTELY NO MATURE OR ADULT ARTWORK REQUESTS. I DON'T DRAW THOSE KIND OF THINGS.
EDIT#3: If you want to place a request, please note me. Or, leave a comment on this journal. Bear in mind, once the artwork is finished, your comment will be hidden. (This is due to my own personal paranoia of "protecting the privacy/interests of those who made requests")

Sunday Visit and Art Update
Posted 14 years agoSo a few days ago, me and my friend headed out to hyneria's house to visit her. I saw her room for the first time.... I was shocked. Since she's into creepy stuff and is mischeviously evil, I was expecting to be scared by dark colors, Left4Dead 2 posters, or maybe an entrance to Hell. Instead, I was greeted by a giant wall-painting of a pink castle. I ended being even more terrified by that because it was so not Hyneria's style. On the bright side, her uncle has a nice pool and her cat's unbearably adorable.
As for my art, I'm now going to try and upload one or two a day, starting tomorrow or Friday. I have a ton, including the stuff from my vacation.

Work Sucks
Posted 14 years agoI work at a farmer's street market as a crew member. Basically, I have different jobs depending on my work schedule. Today, I was working in the loading area, which is where customers leave produce and plants they've purchased so they buy more stuff, then drive their cars around to pick up the plants they dropped off. I also had...... trash duty. Now, a farmer's market usually sells fresh-squeezed fruit juice and coffee. For some reason today, people decided to drink only half their coffees, then throw them away. This means that when I throw the bags in the dumpster, if there's a leak, I get covered in lattes and mocha.....AND I HATE COFFEE!!! My jeans were ruined, but my hat remained completely clean. I might have to work on Saturday next week too...... I. AM. NOT. DOING. TRASH. AGAIN.
I Was Goin 2 Upload My Vacation Pictures.....
Posted 14 years ago......I can't find the camera. My entire vacation was documented on that camera and now I can't F**KING FIND IT!!! Oh well, at least I saved all the drawings I did, so I can upload those..... if I ever stay undistracted long enough to do it.
Oh, one more thing...
hyneria just had her wisdom teeth removed. She's in a lot of pain and all hopped up on painkillers. Go make her feel better and send her a "Get Well" shout on her page.

Good and Bad News
Posted 14 years agoBAD NEWS: I just found out I failed my 4th quarter of Earth/Space Science at the end of the school year, so I only got half of the Science credit. This means I'll either have to take a credit recovery class next year, or take another Science class in my Senior year. I failed the class cuz I stopped caring about it and became unmotivated to do any work. I hate myself for this and I swear to never end up in an emotional hole like the one I've been in this whole year that made me so depressed.
GOOD NEWS: During the Days At Sea on my European cruise through the Baltic Sea, I did a bunch of artwork. I created 4 new characters, 3 of which are triplets which is why they'll all look the same (I retraced the same character 3 times and tweaked them each time cuz I was too lazy to freehand draw them) when I upload them. The 4th one was completely freehhand drawn and I'm quite proud of it. I also did a pencil drawing of a strange building I've been having dreams about called "The Shack". The building looks normal in an evil kind of way from the outside [in my dream] (it looks like a large convienence store in the drawing), but the inside [in my dream] looks like a cross between that creepy foundry/factory from the game "Killing Floor" and the greatest videogame arcade/store you've ever seen.

My Trip to Europe.....
Posted 14 years agoWAS AMAZING!!!! Seriously, I'm not kidding! Everything was fun: the cruise ship, the shore excursions, etc. I got 2 new watches: a new wristwatch that turned out to be kinda cheap, and a new pocketwatch that was kinda expensive and totally worth it. I also got gifts for a bunch of my friends (this means you hyneria ). Every place I visited was fun: the packed streets in Berlin, the Gay Pride Parade in Helsinki, even the medievil castle town in Estonia. But, the real highlight of the trip....
was Amsterdam. After the ship docked in Amsterdam (where the cruise had started), my family stayed an extra 3 days to explore the city. Literally, almost every souvenier shop sold bongs, weed pipes, pre-rolled joints (not surprising since weed is legal there), and stuff you would find in a SEX SHOP! The most shocking thing, however, was Amsterdam's main tourist attraction: the Red Light District. Prostitution in legal in Holland and the Red Light District is the central hub. The main deal is: the whole district is filled with apartments that have windows and [window] doors that have red curtains. The hooker, clad in arousing clothing, stands in the window until a client approaches. When the customer goes into the apartment, the hooker closes the red curtain to show that she's "in a meeting." THIS IS THE MAIN TOURIST ATTRACTION IN HOLLAND!! It's 2 streets (one on both sides of a canal) of prostitutes, sex shops, "live entertainment" theaters, and bars with drunk men drinking Heinekin beer.
Thats as much as I wanted to say. I got home yesterday, snuggled with my cat Joey, spent hours checking FA (7076 unseen submissions and 366 unread journals), had 2 bagels and 2 bowls of cereal cuz I hadn't eaten anything in two days, went to bed at 4:00 A.M, got up 2 hours later, waited for my dad to bring home my dog from the daycare center she's been at for 3 weeks, played with her when she got home, and here I am now.
Once we unload all the luggage, I'm going to upload some pictures from the trip. I wont show all of them cuz there are too many, but I guarantee there will be at least 2 pictures from each country I visited over the last 3 weeks.

Inspirational Trip
Posted 14 years agoLeaving for a 3-week cruise around Europe through the Baltic Sea in 2 days. Bringing my drawing stuff so, hopefully, I'll get some inspiration for some new characters.
WTF!? (Rant Journal)
Posted 14 years agoI just got a call from someone at the University of Texas, looking for "Mrs. Danberg"(I assume he meant my sister since she starts college at the end of the summer). I told him she wasnt available and he responded, "Okay, we'll call back later. Thank you Mr. Samberg."
WHAT.......THE.......FUCK!!!!!! HOW DO YOU GO FROM DANBERG TO SAMBERG!?!?!? JESUS CHRIST ON A FUCKING MOTORCYCLE!!!
........
On another note, my art is going well. I created a new character from a design I found on the web. Also been trying out these new "How to Draw Manga" books I got for my birthday. They aren't very good in teaching you how to draw the body........... or how draw anything else in manga form. To be honest, they're really crappy and aren't good. I think I found a more promising teaching book, but how do I tell my mom the books she got for me are horrible and that I want a different one? I guess she'll be glad she can get all her money back for four shitty books and buy only one good book in exchange.

The Good, The Bad, & The Result

GOOD NEWS: The Comic
The "TWISTED WORLDS comic I'm doing with hyneria is coming along fine right now. Hyneria has finished 1 of the pages as far as I know and it looks really good.
BAD NEWS: The Comic
I think Hyneria feels like she's being overworked on the comic, ya know? Since I'm not a good artist, I can't draw the pages myself. And I can't do the line art or inking cuz' I'm no good at it. All I really do is help write the story... BARELY.
Which means Hyneria has to sketch, outline, ink, shade, and post all the pages BY HERSELF. And she's also trying to work on a comic of her own, but ours is sucking up all her time.
She bought a tablet recently, but I don't know how much it's gonna help. I don't what else I can do except offer to scan and post the pages for her.
The Result: There's much more BAD happening right now then GOOD.
F**K MY LIFE
