Hello watchers (and page peepers) think it's high time I give a brief update on life and art in general. I've recently changed careers, and the new job keeps me busy very often, but in the plus side it gives me more opportunities to produce art! As some of you may have noticed from my last few submissions, the quality of my art has recently been quite a bit higher! after a slump that lasted over 5 years, it's been nice to see some measurable improvement in my work! I've been experimenting with lots of new stuff and the sky's the limit! I'm exited to share my new creations as I produce them, and I hope y'all will like the things you'll see!

Hey Y'all! I recently bought myself a proper pen display tablet (xp pen artist 13.3 pro) and Clip Studio Paint pro (HIGHLY RECOMMEND), so I've been cranking out the digital art like CRAZY! I'm Gonna upload a few of my favorites tonight! I think (hope) you guys will like how far I've come as an artist!

Hey everyone! You might not remember me because I've been MIA for a long time. I've had a difficult, but productive 2 years. I've gone through some significant positive changes in my life and I'm ready to be active here once again! I don't have a computer currently, so any art i post until that changes will be sketches. I'm looking forward to showing you all the growth I've made in my artistic abilities in my absence, so stand by!

hey all who actually give a crap! im am writing this journal, not only to update y'all in the goings about in the life of a husky, but also to get that depressing journal off my page. my fireman training is almost complete! just a few more weeks before i can start applying for fire department jobs :D yaay! once that is over with, i should probably be a little more active with my artings. i am (once again) experimenting with styles and hoping to find one i like for more than a few weeks, 'tis a never ending quest of mine!

anyways, that about covers it :D

-Xander out-

We were so close to fixing things....then this bomb is dropped on us. all the pain and suffering we've made it through this week has just been made for nothing... I'm bewildered, confused, shocked.... and so many other things. this has been by far one of the toughest weeks of my life, and hers and the final nail was just driven into the coffin that holds our relationship. this time though, its not any fault of mine, or hers...

Today, my gf and i split up... I know it was for the best, but its difficult for me to feel that way... I wish there had been a better solution, but sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same. I've lost a mate, but Im greatful that I've kept a friend.

I seriously am a badass in my dreams. Last night i dreamt i was rescuing a kid from a much much muuuuch more evil Team Rocket (like i will kill this kid, and you on a whim evil).In this dream I was holding onto an empty trailer on the back of their vehicle while they sped, curved, and swerved to try and get me off, until they took a wrong turn and got cornered. Then, i pulled them out of the car, went all Assasin's Creed III hand-to hand on them, resulting in me knocking them over and literally stomping their heads off. not sure if i should be impressed...or concerned....

no joke, i even beat up Liam Neeson in one of my dreams, and i did it with a fake police baton.

thought id share that with y'all.

Hello my dear watchers, surely you have noticed my lack of new updates in a while, and im sure some of you are wondering why that is. well, in a nutshell, ive been dealing with a lot of personal and emotional issues over here, been keeping quiet about it on my FA, because i know the last thing people want is a steady stream of emo journals. ANYWAY! the reason i havent posted anything lately is said issues have had a huge impact on my artistic abilities, since all of this started, i have been unable to make even the simplest of sketches and drawings look like they came from anyone older than 9. im hoping i will pull out of this giant slump and be able to produce art of some kind of quality again, but until then please be patient with me, i do appreciate all of you.

Friendly

You would rather hang out with others than spend time alone, and you'd far rather be doing something with your friends than just sitting around. You're happy in a crowded room, club, stadium, or auditorium.

You're not a private person who is ill at ease in a group; you don't view excessive socializing as a waste of time.

Accessible

You're comfortable expressing yourself in words and actions, with no self-censorship. You believe that if someone doesn't like what they see it's not your problem, but theirs. A high score on the "accessible" trait suggests that you have a lot of friends, socialize often, and enjoy rap/hip-hop music.

You don't see the need to keep your thoughts to yourself, or to have a zone of privacy that encompasses only yourself and a small circle of friends and relatives.

Understanding

You are willing to take the time to find out what's going on with other people, especially if they're in distress. You're a good listener, you don't criticize, and you offer unbiased, respectful, honest advice when it's requested. With a high score on the "understanding" trait, it is likely that you are enthusiastic about charitable work, helping others, and making the world a better place.

You don't feel the need to impose your standards on others or say things that, even though true, cause pain.

Aesthetic

You appreciate art, beauty, and design; you know that they are not superficial but absolutely crucial to living the good life. You have good taste, and you're proud of it. Those with a high score on the "aesthetic" trait are often employed in literary or artistic professions, enjoy domestic activities — doing things around the house — and are enthusiastic about the arts, reading, and travel.

You don't think it's pretentious to be moved by art and beauty. You're not one of those who believe it doesn't matter what something looks like as long as it does its job.

Warm

You have a genuine interest in other people. You're a natural host, and are always thinking about how you can increase the happiness of those around you. When friends have problems or are in trouble, you're usually the first person they turn to for aid and comfort. Scoring high on the "warm" trait suggests that you are among those who enjoy domestic activities — doing things around the house — and are enthusiastic about charitable work, helping others, and making the world a better place.

You don't always say exactly what you're thinking; you don't like the idea of causing anyone pain because of your criticism.

Empathetic

You are in touch with your own feelings, which helps put you in touch with the feelings of others.

You don't buy the logic that your happiness comes ahead of everyone else's because unless you're happy you're incapable of making anyone else happy.

Innovative

You come up with a lot of ideas; if one doesn't work out, there's always another waiting in the wings. You often have interesting solutions to difficult problems. You're practically a one-person brainstorming session.

You are less interested changing the world than in dealing with things as they are. Unlike those who spend all their time trying to solve problems, you prefer to zero in on things that work and stick with them.

Original

You are constantly coming up with new ideas. For you, the world as it exists is just a jumping-off place; what's going on inside your mind is often more interesting than what's going on outside.

You don't feel that the road to success is to be a realist and stick to the program; you never stop yourself from coming up with new ideas or telling the world what you're thinking about.

Poised

You tend to feel at home wherever you find yourself, even in unfamiliar settings, with new people. It takes a lot to rattle you, and when rattled you recover quickly and gracefully.

You are usually not self-conscious or nervous when you're in an unfamiliar environment or with people you don't know.

Upbeat

You enjoy being around others and others enjoy being around you. You have a "live and let live" attitude; because you know that no one's perfect, you are forgiving and happy to give the benefit of the doubt.

You don't feel the need to be controversial or express contrary opinions all the time. You see no reason to go around rubbing people the wrong way.
