The treatment I may end up receiving is surgery to repair the damage, if my bursted vessel does not heal completely within the next few days. The operation actually has a moderate amount of risk to it, too, disregarding the price of it all together, and I really don't want it to have to come to that.

30% chance of death is by no means overly high, but it is high enough to be concerned, and probably the closest to death I've ever been with some conscious decision lingering within the situation. The only other two times I've come close to death is when I nearly got hit by a bus in China or the time I nearly broke my neck (but instead, muscle tissue and not spinal cord was wrecked) in an acrobatic snowboarding accident.

I've been in so much indescribable pain in recent times. As the bleeding is located in my abdomen region, my digestive tract is been giving me hell every time food makes it to there and out the other end- I've been feeling alot of fatigue, near-fainting experiences, been crapping out blood, and excess dehydration.

I'm taking care of myself, and drinking, and taking it easy, though.

I consider myself very lucky. I've accomplished alot of things, and so many people care for me, it would be extremely selfish if I just gave up on my life because I would affect others, even though part of me would honestly not regret submitting to eternal sleep. The other half of me is trying to slap that with iron fists screaming at me that I have a promising and bright future ahead of me that hasn't arrived merely because I'm just not at that point yet and I'm not quite done with High School.

17 years may not be a particularly long span of time to live, but many stressful things have been happening to me in many shapes and forms, and it's far too hectic to sum up in any way. I can honestly say to other people I've probably experienced more than I've needed or ever wanted than the average teenager at this age in my lifetime, and for that, it would only be all the more unfortunate to pass away.

I really want to go to an art college. I've narrowed down my Undergraduate major selections to this, and in order of top to lower priority: Entertainment Design, Animation, Illustration.

If I fail at that, I'll just try being a doctor, and save other people's lives, lol.

Anyways, I have been noticing this 10 sketches trend going on around amongst the people I watch, and I think I feel up to whipping up some quick ones for some practice later on. Quick little doodles.
If this is of a character, provide most updated image ref, or at least a detailed description. If this is of a broader open-interpretation subject matter, that's cool too.</sub>

I have lost the process of writing this journal entry twice when I've gotten most of it written, this is pretty ridiculous! I'll just summarize things from what I remember.

June has been a slow and relatively unproductive month in terms of art, I've been experimenting mostly with style, inks, and 2D animation on my own but hardly any polished pieces. At least I got sleep and relaxation in. I've lost my machine-like work ethic for comics as lieu of spending alot of my time playing with my brother and my puppy, whom both require alot of attention from me. It's surprising how much two factors can play in disruptive interference to break your concentration from focusing on comics and artwork.

All I plan to finish this month in July is this comic fight with Spaceninja.

It has been postponed since March and I am working on the 3rd (and goddamned final) rendition of it (meaning I've already started over twice.) I promised myself not to accept any more battle deadlines that are 2 weeks and over, because working on long battles give me neurotic aneurysms and I simply am incompetent with them. I hope to be battling more frequently in VOID with the shorter deadlines, even if it does somewhat limit my choice of opponents.

There have also been complications in traveling overseas to China, so I may not go for the job until later this summer. My SAT testing scores came in. It turns out I got 2100 with percentiles that are all above 90% for each section. I can get into Ivy League schools like Harvard with such a score, but my GPA and extra-curriculum involvement record blows too much ass so forget about that. gahahahahah.

It also turns out I cannot make it to San Diego Comic Con. It's highly disappointing because I was looking forward to meeting ~galvo (who had encouraged me to come and prepare myself works to show big timers) and ~JongBom (and any other attending VOIDers of the area) in person. I'll have to try again next year. There's also still the possibility of Wizard World Chicago to see VOID folk in person.

That's all I can think about as far as updates on life. Maybe I'll post some deviations soon if i ever finish anything.

As a final testament to my dying subscription, which should expire very soon- Thanks again *Jaxomatik for spending your money on me! I didn't utilize it as much as I would have liked because some of the features didn't work very well, but browsing on dA has been easier when I had it, and some of the other personalization features were pretty cool.

I will quickly make some last minute use some of the other subscriber journal features however, and advertise my good friend and rival:

's ZUDA entry, Rockstar

in the monthly competition. Get an account, log in, vote for it, give it 5 stars, add it to your faves. It'll be way appreciated. HE HAS TO WIN.



Go Zsa go!

http://AirIight.deviantart.com/journal/24929467/ Sun, 24 May 2009 18:16:09 PDT and DAMNIT YOU GUYS, DON'T GANGBANG ME >:0!

Rules:
1. You must choose only ONE of your OCs. Do it again if you wanna use another OC.
2. Your OC must answer every question as truthfully as possible.
3. Title the journal as "OCs Quiz (your OCs name)".
4. When you're done, tag as many people as you want.
5. Have fun!!!

The OC I will use is Robert.

_{testing image usage in journals... I grabbed a recent doodle i did of Rob and made it into a transmission screen.}

1. Hi! What's your real name and nickname?

"Robert Shealey. Rob for short. Have been called 'Speedy Gonzales', 'Flanders', 'Mcguyver', 'Hippie', 'Annoying Douche', and various other swear-worded names. "

2. Interesting... what's your current age?

" Twenty-three, young and enjoying life as it comes."

3. What's your favourite food?

" I have a tendency to prefer any sort of fast food, junk food, or sugary food. They say it isn't healthy for you with all the fat n' calories, but the amount of exercise and working out I do tends to burn all of it off, so it's no big deal since I require so much energy. A substantial meal is totally fine too, because i'm not really picky."

4. And your favourite drink?

"Coffee, Energy Drinks, and Soda, yeah! "

5. Confession time! Who's your crush/lover?

" I love everyone, I can't single out one person."

6. Aww! Have you two kissed yet?

" I haven't kissed 'everyone'..."

7. Classic question! What's your favourite colour?

" People would think blue is my favorite colour especially considering how my usual attire consists of pretty much blue. It's white though."

8. Who's your favourite author?

"There's alot of great books out there. I don't read much nowadays unless it's the news or informational reading, so I don't think I can pick a fave. "

9. Now what's your biggest fear?

"I'm not really scared of many things, 'cept."

10. Any siblings?

"Nope."

11. Who's your hero?

" Lieutenant Rochester and Colonel Henriksen."

12. Ok, who is your worst enemy?

"Others might portray me as a sort of antagonist in their eyes for some ludicrous reason. I don't personally have any adversaries or people whom I'm ill-tempered towards. Even the street-shark, Pothole, who tried to eat me once, turned into a friend. "

13. What would you do if your hero and your worst enemy got together?

"Got together? Like as buddies hanging out and getting each other drunk? Well, that's not really an area of concern since I have no foes."

14. Interesting... what would you do if you met your creator?

"Creator as in God? I'm not religious or particularly spiritual. Unless you meant parents- But you indicate creator in singular form, so that's not it either. "

15. Now, what do you want to be when you grow up?

" Technically I'm already grown up. But no, I actually did not want to be a barber. I wanted to be a surgeon or physician growing up, but stuff happened that prevented me from eventually pursuing that."

16. What's your worst nightmare?

"I don't prefer to think of situations in negative consequences."

17. What's your lifelong dream?

"It would have been cool to achieve the now-dead goal of becoming a surgeon, but on second thought, it's very hard to retain an optimistic demeanor if you have that career - Theres too much responsibility to uphold, and lives to constantly put yourself at the risk of saving or letting die. My only dream is to live a decent life."

18. What would you do if your lifelong dream came true?

"Well.. I'd die happy, right? If you meant my dead goal, then I suppose I'd be pretty hard at work."

19. Ok, where's your favourite place to relax?

" My own apartment space, the mall arcade or foodcourt, rooftops, abandoned construction sites, strolling through the park or the industrial junkyard with friends. Beaches are nice too."

20. Last question! What do you spend most of your time doing?

"Evading Ben. Well not really, she's cool. I take photos in my spare time, play videogames, hang with buds, but otherwise, I s... ]]> ~AirIight http://AirIight.deviantart.com/journal/24784310/ http://AirIight.deviantart.com/journal/24784310/ Sat, 16 May 2009 09:48:05 PDT

Looks like I got myself a job at my Aunt's and Uncle's back in China. They work together at this design firm where they remodel parts of houses- and what I'd have to do involves drawing interior architectural layout designs for them because apparently my Aunt has been complaining that my Uncle is too slow with drawing. A leaving date for me seems to be the day after I take the SAT test (June 8th to be exact). I probably won't be back in the United States until around the end of the month, or beginning of July. Holy shitonastick.

I only hope I'd be able to work on my enterVOID fight over there while balancing work, since it's been re-scheduled for the 10th but I won't be able to discern until I get a grasp of how much time I have to spend doing the workstuff.

Otherwise, I'll have to figure out a way to get it done ahead of time while balancing out all these goddamned final exams for school.. hmm!

Oh yeah and i have a new puppy.

PEACE.

Everytime I get SOME TIME to work on SOMETHING that I have to, I lose the motivation. Or I want to do so many things at once that I end up finishing nothing at all. (well, I tried to draw, then render some things, then animate something, but none of those ever got finished because I couldn't follow through with them.) Then I decided I wanted to play music because my art wasn't coming out as anything, but it was too late to play and people in the household would yell at me for noisemaking. MAN I want to live alone.

I will blame this on a tired and highly expectant mind, because I am normally pretty single-track and not so much scatter-brained, and recently I had reflected upon the fact that I failed to achieve the new years resolutions I made in the start of 08 (not 09. SEE LOOK HOW PATHETIC THAT IS!), and that never really helped. EVERYTHING WILL BE BETTER TOMORROW.

BETTER HIT THE SACK. ZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzghbhs

(instead, have a somewhat old animation I did in July of 08 that I dug up in my imageshack album, and an OLDER animation I did when I was 12 or 13 (i forget which age exactly) I'm still trying to dust off the rusty animation skills. )

Uh, I'll upgrade this shebang further later, a bit iffy with the general color scheme, haven't touched CSS in YEARS, but i've always wanted to go for an orange-dark gray/black layout because the colors just look FANTASTIQUE together. The header seems fine as it is now, but my site graphic and coding skills are only passable adequate since I don't do it on a regular basis anymore.. might whip up another header graphic if time permits, but I can't really be picky.

Schools tough as usual, barely getting by sleepily with the extra classes on my back, the workload as well - longing for spring break and summer, longing for the day I am eligible to receive my driver's license, longing for going to a cool college.

In regards to the 2 most recent polls of mine regarding your art, I find the results very intriguing statistically in what's been said as people's strong points or weak points. Although the data wouldn't be entirely accurate due to the somewhat low amount of watchers i have, it could be relatively accurate as a whole applied to some people in general.

Most of you leaned towards the answers of Environments & Background Conception and Vehicles, Machinery, Architecture & Man-Made Objects as your WEAKest points in art. Those two were head to head as the lead choices. Isn't it ironic that we constantly dwell in environments of all sorts, and live in such an abundant world of technology and machinery on a daily basis, that it would be our weakest portion to draw out?

In some ways, not really, because most of our focus is directed towards Character Development & Design. That was a standing lead for the strengths poll, and nothing went close to it to match it. I suppose it's just natural that people will pay attention to what's living, sentient, and breathing, and try to nurture an idea that they can relate to - rather than the hubbub and smaller details that occurs around them in the encompassment that we take for granted.

As a fellow artist, I didn't choose either of those choices for both polls, but I highly encourage all of you to continue doing what you're strongest at, and at the same time, take care to nurture what you are weak at, so you can be strong in everything and become a well-rounded artist.

_{For specific advice regarding environments and background conception, being one of my stronger areas, treat them as you will like characters. When you observe a character, you indulge yourself in details and begin to get a grasp of how they look, what impression they leave on you, what personality they seem to have and those details like what they wear and what expression they bear. Environments can be treated the same way, and when closely observed and studied further, they too will have a particular atmosphere or lasting aura on you if you let yourself become patient with observation. There's a whole world out there full of vast surroundings for you to refer to from photos and your own eyes, as well as fantastical environments found in games, books, comics, etc. As you learn to observe and take in the vast amounts of small details when drawing them, you'll gradually appreciate it if you formerly hated it, because it complements the character quite well by giving them a place to live in, to interact in, to carry out their duties in, and as a result, develops them better. With good practice and focus, you'd be able to make up some really nice ones of your own once you intently study and think about your surroundings.}

OPEN for further discussion if you want to say anything on the matter.

Epic fail on my most recent VOID comic for incompleteness, but people seem to be saying otherwise in general? I AM IN SHOCK AND AWE.

The sequence of events that prevented me from finishing primarily was a weeks worth of medication that got me disturbingly ill and right after my recovery from that, a harsh wave of semester exams.

Despite complete neglecting of the fight in order to study hard and heal up, I think I actually might have failed one of them because I studied the wrong shit. MORE FAIL. I'm fairly certain I passed or aced the rest of my 9-something exams. Those two things ate up 2 weeks, then after all that, I had a loss of motivation (I did roughly 2 portions of a page before the craziness began) then revised the story to keep myself interested, because I suddenly felt more like making music for the first time in 2 years over drawing comics >:I.

So essentially the work I did for it was kinda sorta done in 2 weeks. Which would yield an incomplete fight artwise but not storywise. Like my battle before that with ~</sub>Qyzex's Merk.

I ALWAYS HAVE LAME EXCUSES AND MUST MANAGE TIME BETTER. AHHHHHHH

Anyways.

I need to go out and draw more things on my own volition - enterVOID has basically given me the intention to spread out my drawing subjects since I've first joined in November 07 to break away from doing FANART for an overinflated and retard-filled fandom which I would rather not speak of anymore. Although he's a quiet, lurking fellow, I give my eternal thanks to ~Ma-sterSolly for having a link to the site when I was checking out his comic work in the Endzone Tournament. That is what led me there. The competition attracted my eye and I joined blindly out of curiosity.

Imagine that. Two years ago, I didn't know jack about how to draw human beings so I studied anatomy HARSHLY and LENIENTLY (And still kind of do). All I brought with me to the grounds of comic-battling is my coloring technique, sense of lighting and special effects techniques, background-knowhow, AND DETERMINATION TO LEARN NEW THINGS TO DRAW... which could be a significantly different start than most people on the site.. who sort of.. start with some drawing skill+style set? I dunno. I just whipped up two human characters who were simple at the basis so I can develop them on the battleground.

It's definitely trained me on working on comics, subject matters aside.. all I wanted to learn is to take on any challenge or competition and take critique well...maybe some storytelling ways- and it's trained me well by setting down this harsh environment to attempt to crush me that I'd be willing to take as seriously as I need to. I feel confident and more independent with my artwork after exposing myself to the site's members and crucial feedback. I can finally do my own things with no restraint or reliance. I've freed myself from past ties to pursue what I need to.

MUSHY SENTIMENTS ABOUT ENTERVOID ASIDE, I want to toy around with the CSS code feature here too, since I got this neato subscription from my longtime friend *Jaxomatik.. so I'll post a test journal once that's gold. Then I'll make music, and draw some stuff for people, and maybe animate stuff. YAY. HAPPY TIMES!!!

so. just a short absence on a short note. I have NO idea whether I'll have any internet access there or not but whatever, its just 5 days, so no one should miss me.

I wonder if I can meet any VOIDers there- it'd be kind of difficult to arrange a meetup though given my current situation, so probably not.

and life is also being a pain, but I will get over it. I kind of need to spend some more time offline anyway for my own health. the internet is addicting.

THATS ALL FOR NOW.

I am busy plugging away at those requests, too. At the least they should be fully inked, and stuff, in terms of what to expect for completion, but they might not be done for another while.

It's like one of those times in between where you feel totally awesome for accomplishing something and you know you can still improve from here on then.. then on the other hand you feel like crap because you still didn't exactly do everything to make the stuff as good as possible.

Don't get me wrong though, I do agree with the crits for the most part, but hey, sometimes the load is heavy and I have to take some time to take it in... it's not like I slapped all the artwork together in a minute. I've been working on this consistently for a few months nonstop just planning and drawing and thinking at school, home, even staying up just to jot an idea down properly, not to mention the time I spent studying, practicing, and sketching what others brought up while I was receiving and listening to feedback on the forums.

I have yet to embrace completely the level where my self-esteem and positivity etc has reached a completeness, but it's getting there slowly and closer.

but yeah. I know now the things I have to work and improve on regarding art.. gotta keep a steady mindset. Gotta improve. That's my priority here at this place.

heh it's also been awhile since I vented properly in a journal.. I'm sorry if this comes across as whining.. no personal offenses to any VOIDers who read this alright.. I really don't do this much... moving on..

I'm battling right away with the aweesome ~zsabreuser. He got his character Pothole in too, so congrats once again man! I'll be busy with working on that comic for the next week and go out and buy new art supplies for inks and watercolor... with a little digital touch up.. heheh. Trying a different method to do this since the time limit is low. Digital is very time consuming for me.-- thus Traditional.

I hope everyone's Valentine's day was a good one.
