be doing the UNTHINKABLE.

For too long this gamer has gone without a game that is fresh and novel. For too long she has sat, lying in the wait for the next truly great experience in gaming. The addiction must be fed, supplied with more of that evil electronic dope.

I may be reactivating my account for Warcraft. If I lose my nerve, and don't stay or don't wish to pay the fee (I'm paying it with my -own- monetary gains this time), you'll know by tonight. But, if I do return...

Those of you who know me in the game, in the vast World, you, too, will know by tonight.

Do you know what happens when Andy packs boxes by herself?

Andy ends up sitting in the middle of her kitchen in a tangled mess of tape with some of it sticking in her -hair-, her cats playing with packing corn, and shouting at the top of her lungs, what phrase?

"FUCK THIS SHIT I'M NEVER WORKING IN A POST OFFICE."

STARFIGHTER UPDATE, GO LOOK, YOU NUBS.

IN OTHER NEWS...

I'm an adult. HAHA.

And I have boots. boooooots. they're fun. jacket and scarf are good too. Add it all up with some 'slate' colored eyeliner and grey-blue 'shadow, and I gots me an OUTFIT for this upcoming horriblyhorribly cold winter. I even have a dark grey winter hat to go with! WOO! I am so happy.

Sorry I know I haven't been posting much but it doesn't mean I've not been drawing, just that if I posted everything I draw, I'd asplode all y'all's brains. YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE BRAIN SPLODED BY THE SUGARHIGH ANDY. MMK.

PS: I'm boycotting socks starting now. fuck them. boots are <3.

There are a lot of things that people call me. "Noodly tree person", "White supremesist" (hah, that one was interesting), "old fashioned", "uncool", "computer noob", told that I "think too much", I "look too deep into things", am a "product of the right wing's brainwashy propaganda"...

I could go on and on, but today, for the past few weeks, I have been called a "news junkie" by my parents. My days have been spent watching the news, studying for my GED, drawing things for my art portfolio to try and get into a good art school up in Milwaukee, watching more news, and then getting online at night (if I feel like doing so). I wake up at 9 and go to bed earlier than I used to.

Some would say this is cutting into my social life, and that I need to act like the teenager I am for a while. Some have said that I'm too mature and have grown up too quickly. Here's my question, my honest question that may lose me half my good, sweet, loveable watchers:

If I don't, who else will? The answer is, no one will. There are people I know that don't get into politics because they 'don't like it' or because they're afraid it will jeapordize their social status or their image. I say this to you. If smart people such as yourselves, because I KNOW that you intelligent and bright and clever young people are out there, if you don't get informed and you don't get out there and speak, society will continue to think of us as the dumbest and laziest generation yet. We need to exercise our rights to free speech, seek the truth, -ask- the tough questions and -speak- our opinions, because otherwise, it's -our- future on the line.

[link]

Click that link. Be bold, be brave, because the adults of this country are making the big decisions that will affect our lives drastically. Speak your mind, follow your heart and your gut, please, for the love of God and everything good in this beautiful and still free country we live in. Don't let those who have forgotten how hard it is to get your first job, or who don't know how hard it is for honest people to -get- a green card because they've never had to, dictate our lives to us or for us.

It's up to the people, now. Let your voice be heard.

After 3k it'll be 5k

After 5k it'll be 10k

After that, WHO KNOWS

2500 was won by KAI. He draws pretty things. Unless, someone can come up with a screenshot for 2500 exactly, because he got 2502. You're still getting your drawing, Kai, just that if someone actually got the Kiriban they get something pretty too.

Also, I love you all. Thank you. Really. I know I haven't been drawing much lately and I've been more concerned with RP, but this will fix itself, I swear. I've got lots of ideas.

Still take requests, still drawing, still here and RPing though not as much on WoW as I used to even though I still do it.

xD Not much else to say really. I love you all! Really I do! Now back to RPing before my RP partner kills me.

Second, I'd like to say, YAY FOR NEW PENCILS. I just got a new set of Prismacolors and they're awesome, epic win.

Third; still taking requests. Be it a scribble or a full-color, both of which I do enjoy, if you request it, I'll make a stab at it.

And remember, folks, when I hit the 2k pageviews mark, I -AM- going to do a special art thing. It shall be pretty, and epic and shiny, because 2k in so short a time -is- pretty, epic and shiny.

LOVE YOU ALL

And yes, I know I'm not drawing as much. I really have worn my pencils down, I wasn't kidding. Maybe tomorrow I'll write something while the servers are down. Yeah. I wanna write something about Myr. Or maybe more Andy. Maybe even a new piece about Kimanee, she's been neglected and out of my characters, she -is- my most established. She gets no love on here.

My hunter, just... ugh. bleh. hate her.

PS: Is Andy better portrayed as a hero, a thief, or a little of both? I'unno. Comments? <3 ya.

Unfortunately, this means I'll have to bother my mom for more pencils. Um, yay? No, really, I'm wearing my current set down to the nubs. I could get replacements for select ones I'm particularly having trouble with (black, grey, brown, skintones) but it actually might be more expensive than getting a new set, considering the cost of individual, specialty pencils.

Aw, well, I'll worry about it later.

Again, I draw too much. I sure do hope I don't run out of creative juices again. :<

I know I haven't updated this journal in a while. Here's a big ol' Andy style thank you to everyone who looks at my page and goes 'ooh, fave'. Or anything. Even looking at it makes me happy. I really do love you guys.

Still taking requests! I love to draw, really! Oh, and I'm thinking I might actually start posting the things I write too. I do write, sometimes. I just have to figure out how to post literature or text format things. Lol. I suck.

In other news, I'm thinking about experimenting more with the blue paper, as well as coloring more of my drawings, new -and- old. (Just have to find some worth the effort.)

<3 you all as always.

*cough* Thought it should be said, that's all. Anywhoooo.

I will be posting things (and stuff) later tonight, as well as stuff (and things). Probably, during raid. I know two updates of the journal within twenty-four hours is a bit much, but as previously stated, the 666 thing... xD

I felt sharing my thoughts was in order. Forgive my rambling. Yes, I'll get to working on that Tarlael drawing quickly.

So, requests? *althoughIdohaveafewideasfloatingaroundinmyheadlols.*

Got an idea, throw it my way, I'll give it a go! :3~ Currently working on full-color Tristan and Nardonis. Possibly two pieces with them in them; One loving and sweet, the other being Nardonis going "WTF I AM NOT GIRLY YOU ASS".

Tarlael needs to be drawn too. I haven't drawn him yet.

Panetonne too.

Kimmybot has been sorely neglected as far as drawing goes.

...Don't we?

How about just manga-ka. Seriously, I need some practice at my arts stuffs. Perspective, angles, hands, feets, all that.

Mrrfle. I'm thinking about starting a comic that is entirely about the antics of my character Sanatheros. He's fun, he's silly, he's cute, and he's -young-. But. I don't have the programs that I'd need to do the layering/coloring/linework/etc. I just have Paint, and a laptop mousepad.

So, I'm leaving it to a vote from you silly people. Do you think that with my limited resources I should start a comic, to the best of my ability? Or do you think I should just drop the idea entirely -because- of my limitations? YOU DECIDE~

PS: Newest drawing idea is a picture of Myrdorin and Sanatheros side by side (because they -are- brothers; just to showcase the similarities between them, as well as the differences, all in one pic)

The Liran and Andy one has been floating around in my head for a while. The Andy and Maev one (uploaded most recently) was conceptualized during a discussion of whose characters were seme/uke (dom/sub).

I may do more in the modern series as I go, because I like the concept. Might even upload a few more tonight. Who knows?

I've added a few new things to my favorites for you guys to peruse, all of them very nice in their own unique ways. Oh, and I tried that concept I had last night. Tried SO hard to draw it. But y'know what? Andy wouldn't cooperate. Yes, I'm blaming my character.

What? It's like RPing a scene that's so horribly OOC because someone else wants you to. It's not gonna happen. You can't do it anymore after a while. He may not be nice, but he's not so horrid as to kill a whole village full of people just to slaughter them. So, my concept, cool as it may have been, was tossed out the window. ^^>

On the bright side, I've finally got the... interface? For this DeviantArt thing figured out. Most everything's all filled out and stuff, I just need to do a little tweaking. Mm, tweaking.

Anyone got any thoughts for the Andy's inner muse? Requests, comments? Post away, I'm all ears and fresh out of ideas. That and I adore requests. <333 you all.

While I know I'm a bit andy-centric, he is my main, and I do love him dearly. So, a bit of a change of pace from the smirking rogue you know, and I have gotten this idea.

Picture a darkened sky, darkened with storms or smoke, the smell of death and things burning in the background. In the ruins of a human village, stands a single man, from head to foot to his gleaming weapons stained with the blood of so many he's felled, and surrounded by the corpses of the defenders' last stand against him. They stood no chance. He glances back behind him, the coldness in his blue eyes a far cry from the norm, and as they gleam faintly in the light of the fires he helped to start, he seems almost murderous, homicidal. Terrifying. His expression, however, is a grim one, and one might realize with some horror that he knew exactly what he was doing when he began this seemingly mad killing spree.

...and this is what my brain comes up with at 2 AM.

]]> ~AndyDA http://AndyDA.deviantart.com/journal/24335765/ http://AndyDA.deviantart.com/journal/24335765/ Sun, 19 Apr 2009 23:54:48 PDT
I've had a few new concepts for drawings (YES, I DO WANT COMMENTS ON THIS JOURNAL) and most of them are derived of silliness that floats around in my brain. First couple of concepts have to do with wings. "Broken Wings" concept for possibly Maevir; dark background with white, but bloodied wings, and him all crumpled in a heap. Possibly, with Andy behind him holding him. This would be a very emotional pic, but it's been floating about in my head for a few days now. Were I to do it, it would be an undertaking. Blood and feathers would litter the floor, and it would be done on a dark bluish paper for background and added ambiance (also for the sake of experimentation with said paper).

Second concept is Liran with huge black wings that billow out behind him, smirking broadly; the kind of smirk that twists the features into something that could almost be construed as somewhat evil or chaotic. I'd try my damnedest to get his scars right. Overall, I would want it to look REALLY cool and hot and a little scary, because that's how Liran is. Not quite sure on positioning, but I'm thinking maybe a crouched position like he'd just landed from a very high fall.

My third concept would require a good bit of work as well, mainly because of the lighting I'd have to use. Vomher Wyrmcurse is a mage played by a friend and fellow raider, and I'd like to draw him fireball-in-hand, with that being the main source of light for his face. As a result he'd look a little bit insane, not to mention the overall shape of Vomher's face in the first place, with the underfed, underslept look he's got going for him that makes him a perfect candidate for the ultimate effect of this lighting scheme. In my head, it looks really cool, and I'd like to try it if only to get the shading.

Finally, I'd like to do one of, well, what Ruei and Maenn do when Liran is away in Naxxramas, honestly. :3~ The fabrics? Soft, silky dark reds and blacks, mostly in the form of sheets and bedding and bed-canopy. Strawberries would be involved somehow, and possibly chocolate... that was ORIGINALLY meant for dipping said strawberries. Damned crafty rogues, eh?

And Mace, I've tried the hugged-by-the-Abom one; I can't get it realistically. Aboms are horribly horribly hard, and while I know what I'd like to do with it, I can't seem to put it to paper just yet. I simply don't have the skill.

So, after a couple of wipes on Saph when the raid was finally getting tired, I was still pretty wired (The tail end of a two-liter can do that to a girl). I drew a solo-pic of Ade, because I thought she deserved better than just a strange little footnote of a chibi. Which she does. She be awesome holypriest RPer. <3 her.

Anywho, I don't know what I'm getting at here. Oh, I found this really cute, cool, sweet and funny anime that I've been watching in my spare time, called Junjou Romantica, it's a fairly new one and YES IT IS YAOI I KNOW. I was actually looking for Yami no Matsuei when I found it. IT IS SO CUTE. I love the characters, I love the art, I love how adorable it all is. But it's not like Gravitation where the characters break down -bawling- every two seconds and break your eardrums at least once a minute. It's a bit more, um, real. Believable? Mrrfle. Shameless fangirling, ignore me.

Will upload more tomorrow, most likely. Love you folks for looking! Over two hundred pageviews, WOO!

I'm sure you guys appreciate the new uploads, though. WOOT! You actually get to SEE the enormous amount of things that I draw on a daily basis. And half of my doodles haven't even been uploaded, so like, y'all aren't even getting the full batch. Mainly because I don't feel right uploading things with a 'warning' or 'lolexplicit' label. I'll get there eventually. Probably. Someday. Maybe.

The point is, I've changed. I think I've grown up a bit, and my art has too. I also found it a lot easier to part with some of my older works and dump them in the trash, even though I've been holding on to a few of them for many years. I based my decisions on the skill that I drew the pictures with, not the sentiment behind the pictures. Were the proportions correct to an extent I was comfortable with? Were the eyes set correctly in the face? Did the faces have nuances, lines, and forms? (Earlier drawings lacked a lot of this; I mainly drew in a style somewhere along the lines of Fruits Basket, but with wider faces.)

So, when I've FINALLY got the scanner working, and I get to upload a few of the older works along with the newer ones (after all, I do draw a good deal), you'll get to see what I'm talking about. But, I'll have to call someone up to ask them how the *^$% to get it all 'installed' and such to get the computer to recognize it, so I'm not promising anything.

It's been ages since I made a deviantart, and this one's going to be better than the last one, mainly because I say so and also because I'm way better at drawing than I was before. Like, way better.

If it'll give you clues as to my old characters, I'll draw ol' Pyro and Amy for you folks, but I may be a bit rusty with them. Lately I've been playing a lot of WoW, and RPing a bit, and raiding, and trying to get a job, and a liscence, and it's all very hectic and confusing and I don't really have time for Pyro and Amy anymore. Not that I don't still love my word babies to death, 'course, they are still my creations and I love them like any of the others (Except Nate... he's fucking creepy).

I chose the DA name because Anduinn Lothar Traselghan is my RP main, and most people online know me simply as Andy. I could use my old pen-name Ambrosia, but I figured, I've outgrown that.

To my dearest WoW friends and other friends online, if you find me: I may draw your characters in here, and if I do, feel free to comment on any issues the drawings may have, please. I don't know your characters all by heart even though I love every single one of them, so I'll gladly welcome constructive criticism.
