Hi everybody. Think it has roughly been a month since my last update.
Was wondering; Would anybody be interested if I did some stock stuff? Like brushes, patterns, textures, backgrounds etc. ? Most of my attention would go to brushes and backgrouds, maybe a lil bit of textures [ya know, mostly fabric, and once I get an actual camera maybe even more]

I am caught in an artistic madness. I tend to make a lineart, r 70% of pic, then just go to next one >> I got lectured I should actually finish em [If not, will be locked in basment for next 3 weeks lol; jk], since few have potential to be a quality peaces >_< That is practicly what ahpened to kiriban works. I jsut started both of those and umm, cant finish them. But I promisse, it will be by end of year.

Also what I see in future is few Halloween peaces and an attempt of participating in contest. [again, 60% finished work, pending on pc]
And the commissions... oh lord. I loe to draw couples, but Gods, the armors can be overcomplicated for my pea brain, so I have to break them into really really really small bits, which again takes centuries -_-

And so, my subby expired almost a month ago. >> Again thanks for donating it. What I will miss the most are the features with tumbinails in journals and critique potion ;_; [I loved the critique I got, was quite helpful with progress]
Hope the features helped some people to get a bit more exposure of their talents and skillz.
I am sorry, I was absent for a long time, and really could not catch up on so many entries. @,@ Same goes with favs. Will try to at least answer comments.

I am trying to answer notes too.

Till next update, cheers.

Edit: no need to tank me for the faves, I really do it with pleasure, and it's usually at least I can do for an artist.

Sorry for updates... they are only in the commission/art trade/art freebies section and I thought that they are kinda important for people that ask for art, so if not interested, just skip the entry. Thank you

Heh, was a bit odd month.


I decided to brag on gaia with my fav peace in my gallery. [link] They wrote "i don't know if i can belive u drew this, sorry. "
and then on next post wrote"o i see now (: absolutely amaaaaaaazing. sorry about the other comment..u dont know wat some people do now days. (: 5/5 " Now, people should really THINK before posting such stuff on someones artwork. Lil miss apologized in 2nd post, still I am not really sure to take it a bit offensive, or take it as a compliment[am trying to do 2nd one, I am practicing to be optimistic]
Now, it is not the first time I hear stuff like "I do not believe you drew this"
Seriously, Why? It's not as nearly as perfect. All of my pics have flaws, mistakes, and I try to color and draw in an unique way[no need to ruin the pic with watermark or signature] So is it so hard to believe that semi-experienced 21 year old artist did that [it's bad considering my age =_=, I know, I know]



I got a nice book recommended from a friend. It's Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks. I know it's just a work of fiction... I would not recommend to read it when alone after midnight. =_= . But I got something good outta it. I am writing again! Not that I will upload it or make a graphic novel outta it. :/ But damn, it feels so good. I have not picked up pen and seriously wrote stuff for years.



And thank you guys for filling out the questionnaire from last journal. I am glad I got to know some of you a bit better. If there are still some people willing to do it, please do. I would be more than glad.




Lil' reminder[the usual copy/paste crap; okay, I did a lil update on this, so read if you want art of me]:

ART TRADES:
I am not open for freebie art requests, so please do not bother to IM me or comment me for that[sorry if it sounds rude, but some seem to fail to see that I physically am not able to catch up to such requests, but it's also kinda rude when constantly asking even if I told that I am bussy]. Please have understanding that I got lots to do, including last art auction[waiting for instruction], kiriban rewards _{and friends birthday <3, but he is not supposed to know bout that}
plus, I am job hunting which reduces my free time.
Edit[conclusion for art quest-ers]: I decided, one freebie art in 6 month per person. I might do more for some for some less, but only for few really really close friends of mine. Just to keep requests at minimum...[some just seem to fail to do that, but I doubt that those people EVER read my journals, for some unknown reason]


As for art trades, they have to wait too. Same reason... Commissions and b-day present have priority this time. Sorry guys. Hope You ain't mad at me -_- I love art trades, this way I get some art and give art in return [and it's the only way for me to get art, I can't commission ppl, no $$, ya know... And asking for free art is a bit too much for my pride]

Also, I have nothing to give you guys to draw... I am currently outta my OCs. =_=

Once I am open for art trades, please comment in current journal. Before you go and type a nice comment, please read what I draw and what I do not.

Also, I lately have large influx of fan OCs to draw. Please, try to avoid that, it affects my quality since I always try t get near the original mainstream artist style, which ends up in disaster. @,@ I am better off with OCs from peoples own Cannons. Also repetitive drawing tasks are not good for me. [like naruto and bleach fan oc-s, the clothing style of most of characters are similar, and I just can't bring up as much heart as for something new]
Other thing about art trades, please tell me wow are you planing to draw, and how much time you are going to spend on. Dunno how bout you people, but it feels unfair if I spend 6h painting [which it usually takes], and you take only 5 minutes, to sketch and send it in.

And there are... Real Life Commissions... I have no pay pal, or any way to receive money for that. I thought subscriptions would work fine for now[like 1 month premium membership donated for fullbody, dunno, still playing with thoughts], but I seriously have to think bout that. It's real money we are talking about, and I don't want to overprice my art.



I do not trade for wallpapers or traced art.
[updated]
Art Trade Rules:
What I Do:
Manga styled stuff
Artistic Nudity and sexy stuff
gore/horror themed things
What I might do:
Chibi
taurs[not so often, I usually decline, and won't draw the same character twice, unless I am hired]
Yaoi/Yuri[in really rare cases]
Some fanart [yes, you heard me right! I don't do couples or group pics to prevent wild pairings requests. I might reject often such commissions /art trades/requests though, so don't be insulted when I do]
What I don't do:
Fan art of Naruto, Bleach, FMA, Final Fantasy...etc
Vore[no, I simply do not see anything attractive with drawing cue girls eating people... that is just hmmmm... NO!]or transformations taur into human and vice versa[not even if you payed me >>]
Cluttered gaia avatars
Furries
[the list keeps growing]

Edit: I am learning to draw masculine characters... will add to list when I get a lil bit more practice.

Is it only me, or it's true that when you are about to make right decission, the whole world is against you? I had some issues in real life, but I am sure I will get a grip of situation.

I want to make a feature in my journal, but without subscription it won't work so appealing. was wondering if anybody would be interested to check the features with just links, since such project requires a community. Would do it once a month for start with like 15 works out of digital 5 works out traditional, 5 photography; 3 works prose and 2 poetry [the numbers are rough, it's somehow ratio of what I have on my watchlist]. *is still brainstorming*

Also... almost forgot... Thank you Irish spit fire and Irish pirate queen for catching my 8.888 kiriban, but I have to deal with commissions first, hope you girls do understand.

ART TRADES:
I am open for art trades again.
Please comment in journal or send me a note, and do not post it in profile comments. And before you ask me to draw, please *read* what I draw. Saves a lots of time.
I am a bit slow with art trades since commissions have priority. I trade paintings for other paintings/sketches/literature/prose. Also when telling me what you want, please be as specific as you can.
I accept every skill level of drawing, but put into some work into it, I do the same.
I do not trade for wallpapers or traced art.

As for OC-s made for well known cannons, keep it down with them. It is more likely that I refuse to draw. I prefer to work on your characters out of your universe. So far, I had best results with those. And I can put much more heart into it.
Give as much references as you can, but give me artist freedom to change clothes a bit [I am carefull that I don't do them out of character]
Also be precise, and do not expect me to deliver high quality work if yours if you invest minimal amount of time on yours [I do check people's galleries >_>]
