3D Modeling Programs, anyone? (´・ -・)
General | Posted 9 years agoM'kay first of all, kudos to whoever you are for actually reading journals. Go you~ ∠( ᐛ 」∠)_
Second, I was wondering if anybody out there knew of any modeling programs. Programs like Blender and such. I'm 100% nooby on all this modeling business, but I wanna start somewhere.
I tried downloading 3D Studio Max, but I can't with the installation. It did not go smoothly. ;^; And I have Blender, but I'm not sure how easily I can learn all that stuff. I was thinking something more... beginner-friendly. Maybe Mudbox? I might try Mudbox. I'll still be happy to hear alternative suggestions, however.
Thank you in advance. (ʃƪ ˘ ³˘) ♥ Kisses.

Commissioners READ (Semi-hiatus)
General | Posted 9 years ago Man. I have not logged onto Furaffinity or Second Life for a while now. I got 300+ journals and 1300+ submissions to skim through, but I hope that at least the dust bunnies had fun there while I was away. If anyone has ordered a commission from me or is awaiting one, let me know if you want me to write it up on the to-do list or give you a refund. NOTE me, please. Leave it out of the comment session.
This summer, I'm throwing away over a third of my break taking summer classes, which was exactly what I needed after driving myself into a mental breakdown halfway through the last semester. Turns out I'd done even worse this year than I did the last one, and the only reason I'm taking these classes instead of lagging behind again was because some teachers spared me. Now that's an opportunity if I've ever seen one, or at least it would be if it didn't ruin the little chance I had of getting to skip forward anytime soon, which is what I was hoping for.
I wanted time to expand on my artwork and try to get better because, to be honest, I have stagnated really bad. I used to be able to look back at artwork from a year ago and think I did pretty well, but this year I'm still in the same place that I was forever ago, only even rustier. I'm also up to here with drawing the same furries over and over again, man. I can barely draw anything else. It's a crappy deal when I have a myriad of other ideas that I have to downgrade to furry artwork just so I can put it on paper, so I want to take some time to practice other things.
The main reason for all that, though, is that I've decided that I want to become a tattoo artist. This is the main reason I want to learn how to draw more things, and also because I want to design the sleeves I've planned to get myself in the somewhat distant future. My mind sort of stuck thinking about it after a visit I made to the parlor several months ago and contacted the tattoo artist I befriended there who very generously offered to teach me some of the essentials before he moves to the states by the end of the summer. It's a lot of info to go over, so hopefully I'll pick up on an apprenticeship with someone else after he's gone. Gonna miss that dude.
So yeah, TL;DR is I'm taking a semi-hiatus from commissions to pay attention to summer school, holding back on furry artwork to expand my horizons and pay more mind to tattooing, and more angry barking.
Kisses. ♥

Friend gifted me his Intuos. <3
General | Posted 9 years ago ... or rather he sold it to me for $60 which is pretty much a steal. ;u; Since his PC no longer works and he plans on buying one when he moves to the US, I got to keep this one. While I get cozy with and acquaintance myself with my new child while I wait for the other tablet's pen, Immo get back to drawing.
Kithes. :*Tablet help??? ;A;
General | Posted 9 years agoI'm trynna use my Wacom Bamboo tablet that worked just fine last night, but it isn't responding to the tip. The 'Eraser' works just fine, even responds to pressure, but the tip does nothing at all. Not even the little light lights up. ;-;
SPORTING MY BIRFDAY SUIT
General | Posted 10 years ago... That's all I needed to say. <3
[Angry barking in the distance]
General | Posted 10 years agoOk so, if my self-pitying whining is annoying, just close the tab and spare me the lecture. ;-; Pls.
I swear to god I'm gonna hafta go on a one-week vacation in the form of a comma or I'm gonna tear my hair out. ಡ_ಡ I don't wanna student anymore. I'm internally yelling that tomorrow's Monday again. I feel like RL has me on chokehold and I swear to god.
I haven't gotten that much time to progress jack shit on most of my commissions, and that sucks ass and dick 'cause I wanna take up new ones because MONEY, but la-puta-que-me-vuelva-a-parir is gonna make me continue them on weekdays. The last thing I wanna do when I come home sweaty and exhausted and still doped on those fucking ADD meds is work on anything else other than going comatose on my mattress. Those pills don't even let me do that. I can't sleep while I'm on them, no matter how tired I am, and it's so obnoxious. I should ask for a lower dose.
I swear for like the 3rd time by now, it feels like every day I get closer to breaks off school, time just goes slower. I wanna stay home and draw and Skype all day. ;_; And while I'm on the whole Skype thing, por favor. No roleplayers. I rarely like to roleplay. I love the occasional *licks and huggles* stuff, but none of that paragraph bullshit. Just no. Especially if it's yiff-oriented. And this isn't aimed at anyone in particular. Just FYI.
... I don't have the motivation to do much of anything anymore. I almost always feel like I'm tired and bummed, which sucks ass 'cause I'm supposed to be scraping for good grades in school, but it feels like I'm beating a dead horse by even trying. My friends are prolly right about me being stuck in the same place for being so lazy and stupid. It's sad considering my partner has such high hopes for me. Plus, like, the teachers aren't coming around as much because of holidays and some stupid strike, so I'm not making any progress. I'm fucked. I was fucked as soon as I tried to swear off smoking weed. It doesn't fill any voids like I'd hoped, but beats the shit out of... soberness, I guess?
But yeh. This turned out to be much lengthier than intended. M'sorry.
Christmas break. Por el amor a dios.
DaleeeEEEEEE. ಠ益ಠIf ya ever see me online on Skype...
General | Posted 10 years agoI'm not.
My mobile app sets me as online on its own. .-. Iunno why it does that, but I never show myself online.
I've barely been anywhere near the computer this weekend- let alone skype- and due to some RL bs, I don't plan on doing so. I'm rarely ever on there. Sooo yeh. If ya see me online, y'know.

Anyone around to chat?
General | Posted 10 years agoI have no idea what to talk about. ;u; But I jus' wanna chat a bit with a strannngur to un-bum myself out. My Skype's zeroabel.
I'm cool with it if ya want to vent about what ails ya too, so I'm all ears. • ε • Can't effectively provide any solutions to problems, tho. Yeh.
Edit: I'm not on Skype as often as I used to be. I'll be offline or busy for a good amount of the time.Mother of watches. Q-Q
General | Posted 10 years ago o: Wow. Lotta new peeps. Normally I'd thank y'all individually, but that's a new staggering number of watches... by my standards, at least.
So, uh... yiss. ;o; Thanks for the watches. I highly appreciate 'em and hope y'all like whatever I'll have to submit in the future.
Kissus~ ♥♥♥ Tumblr sketch account-- Halp!
General | Posted 10 years agoI've seen people with Tumblr accounts for the sole purpose of submitting sketches, doodles and WIPs, but I hafta wonder how someone gets traffic to a page where there isn't really much finished artwork.
I upload everything here because I never knew how it would be possible to get views in a sketch account. I have a Tumblr account made, ready to start uploading, and I made it with the intention of uploading stuff like that, but I wanna keep it mostly separate from this account; I may link to the account in my profile someday.
TL:DR I'm curious about how to start attracting views to a new Tumblr sketch account without sharing said account on another site like FA.
