Yosh people!!! Missed you guys lots!

Anyway, my big 10k pgviews is coming up and of course, I'm having a kiriban for it! So... you know the rules. Catch the pgviews and I'll do a full CG pic for the winner! hope you guys take part, since this is important to me and it's a big milestone for me since I've joined DA (and wasn't too active then) around two years ago. Took me long enough to get here. ||o- hehe...

Have fun catching 'em!

That was a poetic way of putting her 'butterfly pageviews' concept into words when I told her about my 10k kiriban hehe....

Hey guys!

Do you know that very soon, our artworks may be subject to something called the Orphan Works legislation started by the US, which will make us lose the automatic ownership of our artwork unless we register it? And registration, obviously, takes a whopping amount of fees, too!!!

Read this: [link]

I advise you to read it through, especially if you intend to become a full time artist. It's not fair!!!!

Hey guys!!! wow, two months since i last updated sorry....

I'm having a blurdy writer's block and I haven't been able to churn out anything for Avenger's Destiny for two months. Dammit. It's so annoying!!!! I just can't think of anything, like everything I write just doesn't connect at all. :anger: *sigh*

So very busy... and short of cash... and tired... and cranky. Bad combination huh???

But I;m trying to calm down...

Anyway... I really need to make some money, so I was wondering if I could do commissions - if anyone is interested. I could take about two commishs at a time, and it would be nice to make some money so that I could save it up...

I can do a simple sketch for RM5, and a full CG or coloured pic for RM10.

Is anyone interested>>>?? >.<

P/S- sorry for spamming your inboxes

I was feeling pretty down today because one of my friends got into an accident while crossing the road - he was hit by a motorcyclist. When our class teacher told us, the entire place was suddenly silent - and I was crying. A bit. Because I was really worried... he's one of my good friends and was going to come back to school after participating in a running event (he's a star runner) and got knocked down when crossing the road.

Thank God he sounded just like his exaggerated, boisterous self when I called him at the hospital. ^^ I was relieved to hear him laughing a little... he said he was waiting to have a small surgery done - he tore a muscle so he won't be running for about a year, and even after that, I think he won't be able to run like before. But hey, he's safe and that's what's important. When I asked him whose fault it was, his or the motorcyclist's, he quipped back at me :"Well, if you ask me, obviously it's HIS fault, not mine." Gosh. I laughed...

Anyway, he says he'll be back in school hopefully by next Wednesday... and I told him I'll be sending over notes and class homework through email.... hopefully he'll get them. ^^ He says his first term exams, in two weeks' time, are screwed because he'll be missing so many classes... and told me that I was the 'only hope left' for our class to have one top scorer. - ever the pessimist. - I bet he'll beat me at the exams again.

I suppose it's just great that he's okay... even though our house will be losing real badly this Sports day without our track runner... *sigh* ah well.

I hope he'll get well soon, and well enough to run like he always has... pray for him too, okay, you guys??



and Happy belated Valentine's, everyone! I'm sorry I never got around to drawing anything for it... I don't even have time to pick up a pencil to draw... busy-ness dominates my days.

Ok. Gotta go.

Ciaoz!

G'nite!

Haha... silly title. Anyway. I was practically skipping through the house last Sunday because my pic, :Reflections: was published in the Star newspaper ~ They cropped it. =.= but still. I suppose it wasn't specifically chosen, that still doesn't stop me from feeling really good... because that's my favourite picture out of all the pics I've done lately...

And I got my first commish!!! lawl... On my way to making money soon, ne~~

I have been procrastinating on Avenger's Destiny, my book Chaos, and the manga drafts for Chaos. ~Silver-Strife-Angel is currently at my throat for me to draft out the next page so that she can draw it. But I'm seriously packed. Bio, Physics, Chem and Additional Maths are killing me =.= not to mention Accounts and History. It's homework every single day and I have a camp this weekend, as well as a Cross Country event to take part in.

And then there's the piano theory homework~~ I won't even have time to finish that, and there's another trial next weekend which I'm going to fail (yet again) and I have been scolded for the umpteenth time for not remembering and memorizing my scales and for not doing my pieces in the correct time, blah blah--

Gotta organize school newsletter, get a team, get a teacher advisor, draft a proposal for the Heads, get to work on first online issue...

Gosh. I have so much to do~~ sorry, I'm ranting. I'm actually trying to see how much work I have piled up. And that's not even counting projects plus homework and first term examinations. *sigh*

-- -- -- --

Anyway, I've been having really good ideas for pics but never enough time to draw.

1 ~ Ready to Fight - Saori, Ryuu, Hikari and Kazuki from Chaos, a lineup with all their weapons.

2 ~ Kimi Monogatari: Our Story - Sakura, Sasuke, Naruto, Kakashi pic

3 ~ Legend - dressy pic of Saori on a throne, Ryuu, Hikari and Kazuki surrounding her

4 ~ Dreamers - top view of Team 7

5 ~ Perfection - SasuSaku night out.


~ I'll probably never get around to it... lawl....

Comission:

1) - sketch of KAMCAO's mascots, RUi and YUi - 0%

Love you guys!! ~~ Hope you have a lovely week~
