                <description><![CDATA[ Hey all!<br /><br />So just a quick journal to inform everyone of what I'm going to be up to for November and December.<br /><br />My first priority is to finish my half of trades with the following lovely people:<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://tartar2.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/t/a/tartar2.jpg" alt=":icontartar2:" title="tartar2"/></a> <a href="http://morghan90.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/m/o/morghan90.gif?3" alt=":iconmorghan90:" title="morghan90"/></a> <a href="http://gray-shadow.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/g/r/gray-shadow.png?2" alt=":icongray-shadow:" title="gray-shadow"/></a> <a href="http://stormyhotwolf88.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/s/t/stormyhotwolf88.gif" alt=":iconstormyhotwolf88:" title="stormyhotwolf88"/></a> <a href="http://zeclawness.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/z/e/zeclawness.gif" alt=":iconzeclawness:" title="zeclawness"/></a> <a href="http://swiftwhippet.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/s/w/swiftwhippet.gif" alt=":iconswiftwhippet:" title="swiftwhippet"/></a><br /><br />Thank you all for contributing to my friend's birthday gift, it means a lot to me and she really really loved to see the pieces ^^ Special thanks to ~<a class="u" href="http://swiftwhippet.deviantart.com/">swiftwhippet</a> and *<a class="u" href="http://morghan90.deviantart.com/">Morghan90</a> for mailing me the originals! They are beautiful <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br />Now I've been searching around trying to find a Secret Santa club to participate in this year, but have been disappointed to see many of them are invite-only or are already closed to new participants. And so I think I'd rather just do my own sort of holiday gift set. The people who deserve to get some of my art are absolutely my watchers, and so here's what I'll do.<br /><br /><b>ANYBODY who reads this, anyone who would like a gift, weather that be a sketch or something more, POST HERE with a reference picture and a description of what you want! Just post it as "dear santa...", and the rest of the info.</b><br /><br />I have no limit for slots, if it comes down to it I'll just do sketches but if I don't get many I'll probablhy put more time into each.<br /><br />So post! Let your friends know if you like! Free art because I'm excited for this holiday season ^^<br /><br />-Biz <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey all, I hope my fellow Canadians had/are having a lovely Thanksgiving <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> I definitely enjoyed mine! And now I'm going to my boyfriend's house with my two best buddies to play games all day on our day off <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> Good times!<br /><br />Anyway I just wanted to say thankyou to everyone who drew something for my friend Kendra, of her puppy Mo! I unfortunately haven't gotten to talk to her yet since her party so I don't know what she thought of the pieces, but they printed out BEAUTIFULLY! So thank you to:<br /><br /><a href="http://tartar2.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/t/a/tartar2.jpg" alt=":icontartar2:" title="tartar2"/></a> <a href="http://morghan90.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/m/o/morghan90.gif?3" alt=":iconmorghan90:" title="morghan90"/></a> <a href="http://gray-shadow.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/g/r/gray-shadow.png?2" alt=":icongray-shadow:" title="gray-shadow"/></a> <a href="http://stormyhotwolf88.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/s/t/stormyhotwolf88.gif" alt=":iconstormyhotwolf88:" title="stormyhotwolf88"/></a> <a href="http://zeclawness.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/z/e/zeclawness.gif" alt=":iconzeclawness:" title="zeclawness"/></a> <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br />It's very very appreciated!! I also managed to whip up a pencil portrait of her puppy so it turned out to be a well rounded group of artworks <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> As soon as Comiccon is over (ends Nov 1st), you guys will be my top priority and I'll get the art I owe you done. Thanks again, it really really means a ton! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /><br /><br />Happy thanksgiving!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Just wanted to pop in and ask if anyone else could possibly draw my friend's dog for her birthday, which is October 10th. So far I have 3 drawings from people, and they are wonderful! But even if I just had some sketches to add, it would mean the world <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br />The news from the doctor today was that she now has a new tumor behind her eye. So, along with the one surrounding her lung.. well the doctor basically said there's nothing they can do anymore. I never thought it would end this way.<br /><br />So please. I will be able to do finish up these trades after my comic convention on Halloween, so if you have ANYTHING to contribute, even a little doodle of her puppy Mo, it would be absolutely wonderful and I would absolutely pay you back <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> <br /><br />You can find the journal with info on what I need drawn here: <a href="http://bizcuit.deviantart.com/journal/26060563/">[link]</a><br /><br />Please.. please consider. Or spread the word.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So just wanted to apologize to everyone whom I owe art to, especially commissioners and the Mo art trades. I've gotten some really, really bad news about my friend (the girl who owns Mo), so I'm a little lost for words really. I absolutely will be finishing up those trades as soon as I can, but again I apologize for taking so long. I also got a new job just this week (my first shift was today, ooh boy) and I'm starting university next week so I will be quite busy.<br /><br />I hope everyone can understand that I do intend to make your art a priority, but I just have limited time right now, and very very minimal motivation because of recent news. Thank you so much for your support in making pieces of art of Mo, I will be putting the scrapbook together soon for her birthday, which is on October 10th. I think it will really give her the joy that she needs <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br />Hope everyone is having a great September, enjoy school while it lasts and if you're working, well... enjoy the weather! Autumn is beautiful.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey all, it's my birthday! Wow I'm finally a grown up. How odd. I don't drink so the most I'll be doing is voting and maybe getting a credit card. Whoo whoo <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/boogie.gif" width="25" height="25" alt=":boogie:" title="Boogie!" /><br /><br />Anywho, I just had this great idea pop into my head that I wanted to share with you.<br />Some of you may remember (though I doubt it) my best friend who has cancer. I have one piece of art of her in my gallery now <a href="http://bizcuit.deviantart.com/art/strong-as-a-rose-99617770">[link]</a> . Well for graduation/making it through 2 years of fighting, she got a yorkshire terrier puppy who she named Keemo (Mo for short <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> ). He is absolutely <b>DARLING!</b> And only supposed to grow to 4-5 pounds, so he's VERY tiny. Here are a few pics I snapped of him.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d144/Calamari-Queen/6688_1120072175583_1640400014_29661.jpg">[link]</a>   <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d144/Calamari-Queen/6688_1120072215584_1640400014_29661.jpg">[link]</a>   <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d144/Calamari-Queen/6688_1120072255585_1640400014_29661.jpg">[link]</a><br /><br />What I'd like to do is open a few art trades, where I would draw you whatever you like if you draw little Mo here for my friend c: Since I am terribly busy I will have to screen these, so please please please don't be offended or hurt if I don't pick you. I'd love to pick everyone but I really don't have the time. <b>If I don't pick you but you're willing to trade with me for just a sketch, I'd be happy to do that too <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /></b><br /><br />You can search google for pictures of Yorkies if you'd like a proper reference, but please note: <b>HE IS CUTE AS HOLY HELL, LIKE UNNATURALLY CUTE FOR A PUPPY.</b> So keep that in mind c:<br /><br />You can draw him any way you like, my goal is to get lots of different styles drawn for her. He can be drawn in adorable outfits too, since she loves dressing him up! Backgrounds are optional, I'm just looking for something sweet that she will love to see c: <br /><br />So remember that these pieces you do will be given to my friend as gifts, as she is starting her treatment in the hospital again now after a break for graduation and a bit of summer relaxation. <b><i>This will be her third year of treatment, and she's only 17.</i></b> I know these will put a smile on her face. <b>If you don't want to trade, I would absolutely appreciate advertising this journal for me so I can get as many trades as I can.</b><br /><br />Thanks all! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /><br /><b>Puppy Art Trades</b> <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/star_full.gif" width="17" height="16" alt=":star:" title="Star!" /><br /><br /><a href="http://zeclawness.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/z/e/zeclawness.gif" alt=":iconzeclawness:" title="zeclawness"/></a> - 1 Chibi <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/star_half.gif" width="17" height="16" alt=":star-half:" title="Half Star" /><br />Pic of Mo: <a href="http://zeclawness.deviantart.com/art/Keemo-130237564">[link]</a><br /><br /><a href="http://swiftwhippet.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/s/w/swiftwhippet.gif" alt=":iconswiftwhippet:" title="swiftwhippet"/></a> -- <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/star_half.gif" width="17" height="16" alt=":star-half:" title="Half Star" /><br />Pic of Mo: --<br /><br /><a href="http://morghan90.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/m/o/morghan90.gif?3" alt=":iconmorghan90:" title="morghan90"/></a> -- <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/star_half.gif" width="17" height="16" alt=":star-half:" title="Half Star" /><br />Pic of Mo: -- <a href="http://morghan90.deviantart.com/art/Keemo-131875343">[link]</a><br /><br /><a href="http://stormyhotwolf88.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/s/t/stormyhotwolf88.gif" alt=":iconstormyhotwolf88:" title="stormyhotwolf88"/></a> -- 1 CG <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/star_empty.gif" width="17" height="16" alt=":star-empty:" title="No Star" /><br />Pic of Mo -- <a href="http://stormyhotwolf88.deviantart.com/art/Keemo-130645423">[link]</a><br /><br /><a href="http://smiling-zil.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/s/m/smiling-zil.jpg?4" alt=":iconsmiling-zil:" title="smiling-zil"/></a> -- <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticon... ]]></description>

My parents got my car a new stereo system for my gift, so now it plays burnt CDs and has an ipod jack, plus it sounds SO much better <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> Love it! Speaking of which, I'm super excited to hear the new Perfume CD, Triangle. It came out on July 8th and it's better than I expected <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> Anybody else here listen to them? Perfume is an electropop girl trio from Japan.<br /><br />I also am happy to say I got a table in the artist alley at my upcoming local ComicCon in October <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> the Central Canada ComicCon, in case anyone is going. It will be my first con and I'm doing everything I can to prepare, including drawing A BUM LOAD OF STUFF. Any suggestions you guys have is great, I've already gotten lots of great ideas from facebook friends. <br /><br />Anywho, how is everyone? I know I don't talk here much, but I'm hoping to change that <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ MSI was the greatest show of my life. It was my second time seeing them, but it was by far the most AMAZING THING EVER.<br /><br />The highlight of the night?<br /><br />Jimmy asked if there were any couples in the crowd, so me and my Corey were quick to scream and wave our arms around. My friends joined in too, and Jimmy walked over to us. Then he said<br /><br />"Hey okay, you guys are a couple then? So are you girlfriend and boyfriend, or girlfriend and girlfriend? You sure look like a nice girlfriend," (pointing to Corey)<br /><br />We got on stage. I stood with Steve at his mic, Corey proceeded with being choked by Jimmy and pulled over to another mic. Steve kept telling me<br /><br />"Don't touch the mic. It's mine, it's special, don't move it."<br /><br />We sang Faggot. I literally almost puked, so I started spinning in circles to stop myself (weird logic, maybe) then stood and kept singing. At that point Steve started tying my shoes together. WHAT THE HELL HE TIED THEM IN LIKE 6 KNOTS.<br /><br />Then the song ended, Jimmy said <br /><br />"Alright now run to your lover!"<br /><br />Corey ran over to me and we did a spinny-hug thing. Jimmy told us to kiss, so we did, then he told us to take it off the stage.<br /><br />We jumped off the stage, ran over to the wall, and fell on the ground in a heap. WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED.<br /><br /><br />Later on I went back in the crowd and ripped a piece of Jimmy's shirt off, got to talk to Steve after the show, and got signatures from Kitty, Jimmy, and Steve. They signed my shoes, which I wore to the last MSI concert as well. Also got pictures with Kitty and Jimmy, which I'll probably post here later.<br /><br /><br />BEST. NIGHT. EVERRRRRRRRR~<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ My gecko, Ryu, passed away sometime during the night of February 20th, 2009. If you pray, please pray that he finds his way to his final resting place safely. If you don't, please keep him in your thoughts because he deserved it more than anything. He was always so sweet and curious and loved to cuddle more than my dog does; he loved kisses on his nose and bathing under his warm light, and for the short time they were together, he loved and snuggled my other gecko, Shimo. <br /><br />I love you Ryu, you are such a fighter, I tried my best for you. I won't ever forget you, my first reptile, and a beautiful little friend. Rest in peace. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I actually feel drained from it. I try to draw over and over again, different styles, different subjects... it all sucks BALLS. I've been super unhappy with my art for a few years now, I haven't been able to solidify a style that I love and feel comfortable with. It's starting to seriously drive me crazy. I feel that each new style I try to draw is a complete rip off of someone else. I'm not unique. My art isn't unique.<br /><br />It's really, really bothering me.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm getting more sad each day when I see my fish Suction-Cup get thinner and thinner each day.<br /><br />I always feel a little silly crying over a fish's death, but they're just as important to me as my other pets. Suction-Cup in particular... I got him when I was 7. I'm now 17. He's been with me since I moved to a new city as a little kid, and he's been the only fish I've been so attached to I consider him my good friend.<br /><br />Do I sound crazy yet? Well. The fact is, Chinese Algae Eaters have a maximum lifespan of 10 years. If he makes it to see January 1st, he will be 11 years old. I'm rooting for him, he's always been there for me.<br /><br /><a href="http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d144/Calamari-Queen/suction-cup.jpg">[link]</a> <-- A picture of Suction-Cup when he was 6 years old. I'll get a newer, better picture asap.<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> To my friend, Suction-Cup, keep on fighting for at least a little longer. I'll miss you so much if you go..<br /><br /> ]]></description>

JULY 20.<br /><br />I decided gifts are stupid this year, so I asked my family for donations to the local humane society. I think I might volunteer there this summer, it always makes me feel good to know I can help animals in need :3 Uhh.. and I'm in the process of getting myself a leopard gecko. My lovely lovely doll Coree bought me the tank, and I spent the last of my money on supplies.... x3 Now.. I just need the LIZARD! I am quite fond of the Mack Snow morph <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br />uhh yeah. I hope everyone's summers are going lovely <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> I actually have several really time-consuming pieces that I've been workin on for the past few months... most of them are 70-90% done, so hopefully I'll have some new art up soon <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> If I do say so myself, I think I've improved ALOT.

                <description><![CDATA[ I don't really have any energy to explain myself right now, but I am losing all motivation to be online these days. Too much drama in life, I'm not ready to deal with it all. I feel so inadequate and depressed these days, I need something to help me get through this... I've been searching for it, I don't know what it is yet... hopefully I'll find it soon.<br /><br />I won't be getting much art done I'm sure, these emotions and feelings sap all of my energy and I just can't bring myself to draw. My contest results will be postponed, due to the fact that I haven't even attempted coming up with a good fursona design in my current state. I apologize to all waiting for prizes... I promise they will all come in time, I'm very sorry for the long wait <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br /><br />I don't know what I need... maybe I need a good friend who will be there, who will talk to me no matter what our relationship is like at the time... someone who genuinely cares about how I feel and how I'm doing. Who actually appreciates what I do for them. I dunno. I've isolated myself from so many of my friends, I'm practically alone right now. Or maybe I just think I am. I don't know right now, and I probably won't until my head clears up...<br /><br />Maybe I'm not allowed to be happy. The few times I do things for myself, I'm told it's selfish and I should think about others first, and how my actions affect them. Well... did you guys ever notice I <b>only</b> do things for other people? That's probably why I'm so messed up. That's probably why I'm seeing a psychologist because I don't know how to take care of myself. That's probably why I have felt so depressed for years and have thought about killing myself before. That's why I have no self esteem and dig myself deeper and deeper into a hole of self-hate every day. I don't take care of myself because my friends are more important to me. I'm sorry, I'll try not to be so selfish next time.<br /><br />Even as I write this and get angry and want to unleash it in a wave of (completely truthful and deserving) rage, I feel guilty and stop myself. I don't like critisizing my friends, they do so much for me, and I give so little in return... well that's what they tell me anyway. It's like I have two minds inside of my head, with completely opposite opinions... I'm always doubting what I say and think, even if it's coming from deep inside and I <b>know</b> it's true. I erase what I am about to write and replace it with the exact opposite.  Just to please people/my friends? To confirm what they think is true, that I really am the selfish, messed up wrong-doer here, and that I am sorry for causing them so many problems? Maybe. Why not.<br /><br />I'm getting help, I should be happy. My psychologist is great and she's very calming to be with. Though it probably takes more than just her giving me advice to fix myself... I probably need to put in a little effort. I am horrible at fixing my mistakes, I am told, yet another flaw to add to the pile... no wonder my relationship is so strained and unpleasant. Nobody should want to be with me, I am just a big heap of misery and emotional baggage. Well I am incredibly sexy at least, that's about all I've got going for me (again, "as I am told". Did I mention I have absolutely no self-esteem and wish I was born into a different body every day?). All the guys are just dying to fuck me and then leave the next morning. That'll definitely make me feel better about myself.<br /><br />Haha, I realize now how sarcastic and cynical I can be. MORE FLAWS! Oh joy, this rant is turning into such an eye-opener for me! I should really just stop talking, I've probably offended multiple people and lost several friends by now. If I knew how to be a good friend, honestly, I'd be one. I'm sorry guys, it's just not a skill I have. I try my very hardest, but it goes 100% unappreciated. Trying isn't really enough, I guess.<br /><br />It feels good to just write what I think and not stop to edit it. No, that's a lie, I edit lots... mostly just erasing the parts that I'm sure would get me into big fucking trouble for being an ass hole. I'm not allowed to get angry it seems, every time I even come close to it and show how I really feel, I am threatened with "fine, we're over then", or "shut the fuck up", or they simply block me on msn without warning. That's when I remember "Oh right, my opinion is always wrong and not important! Whoops, better put on my ' please forgive me, I'm begging you, I'm nothing but a cowardly worm compared to you' face". I've learned to bottle up and throw away my feelings and emotions so much for many years... it's becoming an art for me. It's all I can do to keep my friends, since nothing else I do does any good.<br /><br />Did I mention that I am constantly buried under enormous lists of reasons why I am a terrible friend, why I don't do enough for anybody, an... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So here's the story, plain and to the point.<br />
<br />
I agreed with Ken, the <b>former</b> co-owner of Evodragon.com to draw an explore map for their site. I sent Ken several previews to see my progress, and all was good. After a while I realized I didn't have time to finish the map, and stopped the project. I lost contact with Ken and all of Evodragon, and I thought matters were settled and they would find another person to do the map. I found out <b>several months later</b> that Tim, the other co-owner, had gone on a rampage and fired all of the staff, and angered a lot of people on it. He also fired Ken, and is now the sole owner. He then proceeded to put <b>an editted version</b> of a preview of my map on Evodragon.com, and not give me a single word of credit for it. I NEVER gave this preview to him, only to Ken, so this is another reason that it been taken wrongfully.<br />
<br />
The worst part is that after this massive firing, he also bullshitted some "TOS" saying that any art on the site at that exact moment was (c) Evodragon.com, and nothing could be done about it.<br />
<br />
THIS IS BLATANT ART THEFT. I went on MSN to ask him to SIMPLY give me credit for drawing it, and  I would allow him to continue using the editted version of my art. However, he acted like an ass and refused to talk to me, saying that under these new TOS I have no ownership of my art whatsoever. I have MSN conversations to prove his words:<br />
<br />

<br />
Bizcuit says: (9:59:21 PM)<br />
<br />
I just wanted credit<br />
<br />
Bizcuit says: (9:59:25 PM)<br />
<br />
but you are clearly an ass<br />
<br />
Bizcuit says: (9:59:28 PM)<br />
<br />
I will take matters into my own hands<br />
<br />
<b>(Tim)</b> "*care" DJ {<a href="http://www.evodragon.com}">[link]</a> says: (9:59:55 PM)<br />
<br />
Oh, so you're gunna be like the other 15 people who tried to sue me, and failed miserably.<br />
<br />
Bizcuit says: (10:00:05 PM)<br />
<br />
you stole from me and that's all  Ineed<br />
<br />
<b>(Tim)</b>"*care" DJ {<a href="http://www.evodragon.com}">[link]</a> says: (10:00:06 PM)<br />
<br />
Well I'm sorry.<br />
<br />
<b>(Tim)</b>"*care" DJ {<a href="http://www.evodragon.com}">[link]</a> says: (10:00:18 PM)<br />
<br />
I didn't steal shit.<br />
<br />
Bizcuit says: (10:00:20 PM)<br />
<br />
yep<br />
<br />
<b>(Tim)</b>"*care" DJ {<a href="http://www.evodragon.com}">[link]</a> says: (10:00:26 PM)<br />
<br />
We had a conversation and you said the map was mine.<br />
<br />
Bizcuit says: (10:00:28 PM)<br />
<br />
I NEVER gave permission to use my previews<br />
<br />
Bizcuit says: (10:00:36 PM)<br />
<br />
the finished product yes<br />
<br />
Bizcuit says: (10:00:39 PM)<br />
<br />
but I never gave that to you<br />
<br />
Bizcuit says: (10:00:42 PM)<br />
<br />
you edited my image<br />
<br />
Bizcuit says: (10:00:45 PM)<br />
<br />
which is stealing<br />
<br />
<b>(Tim)</b>"*care" DJ {<a href="http://www.evodragon.com}">[link]</a> says: (10:00:50 PM)<br />
<br />
And if you read the TOS it states ANYTHING given to EvoDragon is our property.<br />
<br />
<b>(Tim)</b>"*care" DJ {<a href="http://www.evodragon.com}">[link]</a> says: (10:00:53 PM)<br />
<br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
Bizcuit says: (10:00:58 PM)<br />
<br />
that was written after I drew it<br />
<br />
Bizcuit says: (10:01:02 PM)<br />
<br />
I was not aware of the change<br />
<br />
Bizcuit says: (10:01:05 PM)<br />
<br />
I never signed a contract<br />
<br />
<b>(Tim)</b>"*care" DJ {<a href="http://www.evodragon.com}">[link]</a> says: (10:01:06 PM)<br />
<br />
So good luck trying to buiold a case.<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
After that he blocked me from msn. I was unaware of these changes in their rules system, and was never told that they were using my map at all, let alone take all credit for it and tell me to fuck off.<br />
<br />
My boyfriend and I are taking action against them, so I'm not looking for much. I just want to spread the word to everyone NOT to work for Tim, because I don't want this sort of thing happening to anyone else.<br />
<br />
Comments/questions appreciated. Please boycott <b>Evodragon.com</b>, at least until they start treating their artists like they matter.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So what I did with the preliminary judging, was I looked over every single entry and decided which ones I would use a large part of, which ones I would use a small part of, and which ones I was not using at all. I have labeled them as being either "Usable", "Recyclable", and "Unusable" (respectively). Those labels aren't meant to offend by the way, they are just easy for me x3 Here are those results:<br />
<br />
<b>1.) Usable (Using Large Portion)</b><br />

In case you weren't aware, the way I am judging these entries is simply by my own personal taste. This is MY fursona you are designing, so just because it may not be a design I choose, that doesn't mean it is a bad design! I am a picky person, and even if your design is gorgeous, it may not be right for me! ^^ Of course, I realize that I will not find the perfect design among all of the entries, simply because there may be some features I love, and some I dislike.<br />
<br />
SO. What I will do instead is create a design that uses features from some of the entries, and mesh them together onto one character. This way I will have the best possible result for myself. This also ensures that there is more than just one winner!<br />
<br />
I will decide prizes based on how much of your design I use. For example, if I use the species of animal your design has, which is unique to all the other entries, you will be judged highly for that and have one of the bigger prizes. From another entry I may take one small feature, such as eye color or a small accessory, in which case you will still receive a prize, but it will be smaller.<br />
<br />
If NO part of your design is used by me, you will still receive a simple, unshaded chibi of a character of your choice <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> My way of saying thanks for entering, I still loved your entry! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br />
<br />
If you have any questions, please feel free to comment here or note me ^^<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <pubDate>Wed, 05 Dec 2007 16:05:39 PST</pubDate>
                
                <description><![CDATA[ STEP ONE<br />
Make a post (public, friends-locked, filtered...whatever you're comfortable with) to your DA journal. The post should contain your list of ten holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related ("I'd love a ______ icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _____ on DVD") to really big ("all I want for Christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV."). The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.<br />
<br />
If you wish for real life things (not fics or icons), make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where Santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you.<br />
<br />
Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your DA or link to this post so that the holiday joy will spread.<br />
<br />
STEP TWO<br />
Surf around your friends list (or friends' friends, or just random journals) to see who has posted their list. And now, here's the important part:<br />
<br />
If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes someone's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use -- do it.<br />
<br />
You need not spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf -- to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not -- it's your call.<br />
<br />
There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Give, and you might receive. and you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.<br />
<br />
---------<br />
<br />
1.) ART! Probably the most thoughtful and heartfelt gifts I could ever receive from you guys is art of my characters or art of something I like <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> Because who doesn't like seeing their characters drawn in other people's unique styles? So yeah, any of my characters from anywhere would be lovely xD<br />
2.) Art of things I like! Meaning: Death Note, Naruto, Hello Kitty, pigs, Nintendo-related things, South Park, Totoro, etc xD<br />
3.) A note saying "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays" sometime later in the holiday season x3 <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />! Words can mean a lot!<br />
4.) Used video games? If you guys have any games for the DS Lite, Gamecube, Xbox360, GBA, GBC, or N64 (THAT would be sweet) that you dont want anymore, I'd be happy to have them! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> Just note me with any games you may not want anymore and I'll see if I have them or not ^^<br />
5.) Anything else you can think of ^^ <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" />!<br />
<br />
I'm not expecting a single gift, but I will try to return the favor EVENTUALLY (meaning NOT SOON) to all those who do send me something :3 <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/hug.gif" width="38" height="15" alt=":hug:" title="Hug" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
ANYWAY my point was to ask if any Canadians (or travellers) here are planning on going? I'm just curious, it looks like loads and loads of fun ^^<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <b>OFFER IS NOW CLOSED! THANKS FOR ALL WHO PARTICIPATED!</b><br />
<br />
---<br />
<br />
Alright so since I don't have very much "traffic" on this account as compared to my last one, I realize getting the word around about my contest will be difficult. And I don't feel right asking people to advertise in their journal without giving anything in return.. I dunno, it seems a bit rude of me ;_;<br />
<br />
Soooo I'll make a deal with ya'll. I'll draw for you if you advertise, and let others know about THIS deal so they will advertise as well.<br />
<br />
What will I draw? Obviously since I'm hoping to get alot of people interested, I won't draw a huge full-blown piece of art that takes me hours to do. I will do a little un-shaded, full-color chibi-esque... thing. It'll be small, but cute, and good for use in a journal or webcam <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /><br />
<br />
SO. The deali-o is this. You advertise. Make sure to include WHAT my contest is about, let them know about this advertising deal, and include a link to my contest journal (found here <a href="http://bizcuit.deviantart.com/journal/14886984/">[link]</a> ). Then send me a link to the ad you've made, as well as a ref sheet of ONE of your characters you'd like drawn <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
As for the people who ENTER my contest.. you will all recieve one of these little drawings AFTER the contest is finished and judged (IF you didn't win anything... if you won, then your prize will be alot better XD). Prizes and contest end date will be anounced at a later time, hopefully in a week or so if this advertising offer goes well.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
SO. SPREAD THE WORD MY FRIENDS <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> <br />
My art awaits you :3<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ <b>I WANT A FURSONA. BUT I CANT COME UP WITH ANYTHINGGGG!</b><br />
<br />
So. Contest time! 8D<br />
<br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/pointr.gif" width="11" height="10" alt=":pointr:" title="Point Right" /><b>Your Objective:</b><br />
Design me a kick-ass fursona that I will love forever! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> Here is a description of things about me that might be helpful to include in your design:<br />
- I'm a 16 year old girl<br />
- I'm a punky kid, tho alot of people call me emo x(<br />
- I'm friendly (not at all dark or scary or anything, I am a happy person!)<br />
- I love rainbows and sunshine and nature<br />
- I love animals (pigs, Boston Terriers, and magical horsies are my current favs)<br />
- I LOVE video games, new and old (Nintendo supporter mostly, my fav is the N64)<br />
- I love music and play the drums :3<br />
- I'm very interested in foreign cultures and exploring the world, in particular I am fascinated by Japan and Japanese culture (ancient culture and pop culture)<br />
<br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/pointr.gif" width="11" height="10" alt=":pointr:" title="Point Right" /><b>Features To Think About:</b><br />
- simple design (something memorable tho, that is easily recognizable)<br />
- some sort of canine/maybe feline (Maned Wolf, aardwolf, fox/jackal-thing, maybe a cat, etc)<br />
- one of the following color combinations (or a mix of several)<br />
1: yellows<br />
2: yellows & white<br />
3: dark grey/black, with grey-blues or just blues<br />
4: yellows and blacks<br />
5: yellows and greens<br />
<b>NEW</b>: cyan/turquoise mix with yellow or white<br />
- some sort of pink accent would be lovely, but this is very optional<br />
- light colored eyes (blue? silver-blue? green? ^^)<br />
- white paws (unless a darker colors works better, just make sure the toes/paws are a different color)<br />
- if hair is included, please make it a platinum-blonde type color (this kind of color <a href="http://www.style-hair-magazine.com/image-files/largeblondehaircolor1.jpg">[link]</a> )<br />
- hair clips!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> fun little trinkets are good too, collar is a possibility (not prefered unless you make it look sexehhhh)<br />
<br />
<b>NEW INFO:</b><br />
My plan is that, unless I find a PERFECT design (unlikely, since I'm picky), I will probably use features from certain designs and mix them into others, and change everything around a bit. But don't worry, if any part of your design is used, you will recieve an appropriate prize <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /><br />
<br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/pointr.gif" width="11" height="10" alt=":pointr:" title="Point Right" /><b>Prizes:</b><br />
TBA XD Suggestions for prizes are muchly appreciated!! <b>Every contestant will receive a small, unshaded chibi thing!</b> Winners will NOT receive these, they will win bigger prizes instead.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/pointr.gif" width="11" height="10" alt=":pointr:" title="Point Right" /><b>Deadline:</b><br />
TBA... once intrest is sparked and people decide to enter then I'll make one up.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I was just curious to see how many of you faboo artists would be interested in a job on a petsite that I've been working on for several weeks now. It's currently at the very very early stages of development, so you know... unfortunately the site isn't up and I can't pay anyone at the moment. I'm not neccisarily looking to hire people anytime soon, but I'd like to see if I can generate any intrest x3 So far I have some forums set up for the site, and I am drawing items/pets/etc constantly xD<br />
<br />
Anywho. I will need artists, moderators, graphic designers, and coders (possibly writers but I'm not sure, I may be able to do that myself). If anyone is intrested please post here or w/e and I'll give yah more information x3 <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> Thank youuu guys!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ My euro trip was a big success! Lots of fun, although I was pretty much starved when I came back (long story short, pre-ordered CRAP to eat for a group every meal is disgusting D: ), but I'm very happy to be home! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> My birthday was super fun! (sweet sixteen ^^) I had it in paris the day we landed, it was really great and something I'll never forget ^^ <br />

Anywho I'd also like to mention that my computer will be gone for several days (getting my CD drive replaced DX) sooo NO ART! Although I'll be on my mom's laptop so I'll be able to check the eenternet and whatnot <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
THAT'S ALL. LOVE YOU <3<br />

<br />
<b>Payment</b><br />
I will accept <b>paypal ONLY</b>. Sorry, no cash or cheques. This is merely because my parents won't accept anything else XD I'm still working out the details with my mom's paypal account, so I can't accept payment just yet. But you may still think about it and place your order if you're ready ^^<br />
<br />
---<br />
<br />
<b>Side Notes</b><br />
- My policy is that once you place your order, I will sketch it out, and show you the WIP. If there is anything to be changed, I will do it at that time. Then you send the payment, and once I recieve it, I will finish your artwork <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> This is to prevent myself from being jipped in any way D':<br />
- If you're ordering a sketch, you must send payment as soon as you want to order. I'll still show you the sketch with the offer of making changes, but I will have been paid previously <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
- No matter what I'm making, <b>I can't send you the original!</b> It's too much work for me to send you your art or make a print of it, so you'll have to settle for a high-quality computer version of it. Sorry <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br />
- You're free to do whateve... ]]></description>
