                <description><![CDATA[ bleck, I'm trying to get over my trillionth sinus infection.. The sad thing is, I never felt ill in my apartment until my aunt got me my hamster >.< He's so friggin cute though, I don't want to get rid of him.<br /><br />Some updates on my crazy life: This month I've had College Math (which is super easy) and Shading and Lighting (which is super hard). What's worse is that these classes are condensed into three weeks, instead of four due to the upcoming xmas break. Even more insane, my bedtime averages from 2-4 am. My waking up time is anywhere from 11am to 2pm, depending on when I have days off. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/c/crazy.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":crazy:" title="Crazy" /> This school is messing me up so much haha.<br /><br />I've been in a Pokemon mood again, so if you want to see any pokemon in my style, then lemme know!!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/d/dance.gif" width="29" height="21" alt=":dance:" title="Dance!" /> Just note that if you request two or more pokemon, then I'll probably draw them all together and they'll be interacting somehow. ^^<br /><br />On that note, Happy Chrismahunnakwanzaka! (I think I spelled it right..) This will be my last journal for awhile, so I hope everyone has a great holiday <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/star_full.gif" width="17" height="16" alt=":star:" title="Star!" /> Requests <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/star_full.gif" width="17" height="16" alt=":star:" title="Star!" /><br /><br />Open!<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/star_full.gif" width="17" height="16" alt=":star:" title="Star!" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/star_full.gif" width="17" height="16" alt=":star:" title="Star!" /> Pokemon Requests <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/star_full.gif" width="17" height="16" alt=":star:" title="Star!" /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/star_full.gif" width="17" height="16" alt=":star:" title="Star!" /><br />Open!!!!!! ^^<br /><br />~Projects:<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletblue.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletblue:" title="Bullet; Blue" /> Spirit Lord in GIMP<br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /> Raptor in Maya<br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red" /> Pokemon Request for <a href="http://selena459.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/s/e/selena459.png?6" alt=":iconselena459:" title="selena459"/></a><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletpurple.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletpurple:" title="Bullet; Purple" /> Other random stuff.. and maybe a contest if I have time.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ With October being nearly half-way over with, in the past two weeks I have learned about a new form of art that has nearly more technological aspects than artistic.. I'm talking about 3D art. By "new" I mean it's new to me, I know it's been around for years. I've been learning modeling in Maya, and it's pretty crazy XD On top of that, I've been animating my first 3D character. ^^<br /><br />I discovered I have a knack for modeling, meaning I make 3D models that are both correct AND look nice XD (for a beginner anyways..) Sooner or later I will start uploading my basic 3D art. Currently, I have a chameleon, a dragon head, and a full dragon that's for my 3D class. I've been uber busy XD Especially with my hectic art class on top of the 3D one.<br /><br />I really want to get better at this model-art thing.. I like it a lot. It's fun and different! Of course, I have a long ways to go before I perfect my current traditional and 2D digital art skills.. Heck, I can't even draw the front view of a dragon >.< Oh well, just thought I'd give you guys an update on school. <br />Peace <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> Hope those of you living in the north are enjoying the leaves/snow... *sighs*<br /><br />Edit: I forgot to tell everyone, Happy Halloween!!! I may make a thing or two to celebrate <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /><br /><br />Art Trade:<br /><br /><a href="http://selena459.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/s/e/selena459.jpg?4" alt=":iconselena459:" title="selena459"/></a> - done!<br /><br />Projects:<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletyellow.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletyellow:" title="Bullet; Yellow" /> Air Lord in GIMP - 3/4 done<br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletblue.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletblue:" title="Bullet; Blue" /> Basic Dragon in Maya 3D - 1/2 done<br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletpurple.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletpurple:" title="Bullet; Purple" /> Various sketches..<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Wow, only one person commented on my Spirit Lord and Satyrs pic.. gee they must really suck >.><br /><br />Anyways, I won't get too down about that. I've been getting increasingly homesick lately, mostly because my home-state is already getting colder, while here it's still hotter than hell >.< It's weird because my body will "prepare" for the upcoming season, like I have this bizarre sixth sense that let's me know what season is coming up. That "sense" has been going off about autumn, and I'm kinda depressed because I won't experience an autumn...or winter... <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br /><br />*sighs* Well, on top of that, someone must have turned on a switch that activated my polarity, because I've randomly been attracting guys O.o;; Some seem interested in relationships, others just want to be buddies. Either way, I find it both weird and funny XD This never happened in high school.<br /><br />Ok, I've covered the heat and polarity, now it's Demon Lord time! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> If you don't want to read about the Demon Lords, then I hope all is well and peace out <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> Otherwise, read below:<br /><br />[Demon Lords]:<br />    These creatures are the opposite of the Dragon Lords: They want to use their elements for destruction, not for protection. They, like the Dragons, are born of their elements from the universe. As a reminder, there is Fire, Water, Earth, Air and Spirit. These creatures are not proud and admirable like the Dragons, these creatures are frightening, creepy, or even gruesome. (Believe me, you'd have a heart attack seeing the Water Demon drifting toward you!) The Demon Lords were created by the forces of the Universe because the Universe needs balance, yin and yang so to speak. So for every element of protection, there is one for destruction.<br />The Demon Lord of Fire and Water are just about done, they'll be uploaded soon <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br />Projects:<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /> Earth Lord in GIMP (nearly done)<br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletyellow.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletyellow:" title="Bullet; Yellow" /> Air Lord in GIMP (half-way)<br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletblue.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletblue:" title="Bullet; Blue" /> Demon Lord of Water (about done)<br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red" /> Demon Lord of Fire (about done)<br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletpurple.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletpurple:" title="Bullet; Purple" /> Various sketches..<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ *whew* Boy this week has dragged on... the intensely long school hours probably contribute to that. I only have two classes this whole month and they just drag onnn and onnnnnn.. on the plus side, the coffee here ROCKS! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/c/crazy.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":crazy:" title="Crazy" /> *cough*<br /><br />However, I won't complain much because this is an expensive school and I'm going to make the best of it XD So, my GIMP Dragon Lords are coming along ok, but it'll be awhile before they're done.. I'm working on a billion sketches right now, but I'll freely accept any requests or trades <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> Hopefully I'll upload more work as the week goes on.<br /><br />For now I need to relax and write a paper.. <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/sleepy.gif" width="15" height="30" alt=":sleepy:" title="Sleepy" /><br />Hope everyone is doing ok! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br />Projects:<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletblue.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletblue:" title="Bullet; Blue" /> Air Lord in GIMP<br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /> Earth Lord in GIMP<br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red" /> Spirit Lord sketch<br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletpurple.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletpurple:" title="Bullet; Purple" /> Demon Lord of Fire sketch<br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletyellow.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletyellow:" title="Bullet; Yellow" /> Various sketches plus a project for my color guard staff.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ...The end of my life in the Mitten state that is.. In less than a month, I will be leaving for college in Florida. I'm uber excited, yet really nervous all at once. I want to start my own life, but it's nerve racking to think that I'll be *mostly* on my own for once. I'm so worried I'll forget something too! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/p/paranoid.gif" width="23" height="15" alt=":paranoid:" title="They're all out to get me..." />  Oh well, wish me luck ^.^<br /><br />Speaking of the end, I'm going to try and finish up my latest two dragon lords in GIMP before I leave, but I'll be quite busy in the next few weeks so I don't know if I'll finish them.. I still have one last dragon lord to draw too (the Spirit Lord).<br />I'm still up for new trades and requests and stuff, but I'll need a loooooong time to complete them XD<br /><br />Oooooo random thoughts: Why are all the celebrities dying lately? And it's people we don't expect to die so soon too.. The only one I've been mourning for is Billy Mays. I mean, who better than to yell about awesome stuff we don't need right? XD  I don't know how everyone can be so freaking upset about M.J. though O.o  I can't figure out why anyone would mourn for a freak/child molestor. Then again, there are things about humanity I haven't quite figured out.. (I'm still ashamed to say I enjoy that guys music..)<br /><br />Ok sorry for rambling again.. This is my last journal entry before I leave, so wish me luck and I will wish the best to all of you for anything going on in your lives.<br /><br />Peace <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br />Art Trade:<br /><br /><a href="http://taslo.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/t/a/taslo.gif" alt=":icontaslo:" title="taslo"/></a> - Will sketch when I have the time.<br /><br />Projects:<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletblue.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletblue:" title="Bullet; Blue" /> Air Lord in GIMP<br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletgreen.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletgreen:" title="Bullet; Green" /> Earth Lord in GIMP<br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/bulletred.gif" width="10" height="10" alt=":bulletred:" title="Bullet; Red" /> various sketches<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I've been tagged..<br /><br />Rules of tagging:<br /><br />1. post the rules.<br />2. each tagged person must tell 8 things about themselves<br />3. at the end you have to tag 8 people and post their icons in your journal<br />4. then go back to their page and leave a comment saying you tagged them<br />5. no tag backs<br /><br /><br />1. I have uber long hair..in fact, people recognize me by it.<br />2. I get art block a lot <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br />3. I have tons of recurring dreams..most are not good >.<<br />4. Ummm color guard/ winter guard in high school was the greatest decision ever.<br />5. I will be going to a college that's frequently advertised on this site.<br />6. I'm going into Computer Animation.<br />7. Video games are my favorite past-time.<br />8. My biggest wish right now is simply to meet a certain person that I long for..<br /><br />Anyone can steal this, I've come to realize that tagging people is a bad idea.

As the title suggests, it's sunny and it's finally getting warmer!! REAALLLYY warm, above the 40s XD.  Also, I uploaded my first Nomad.  What is this Nomad I speak of? Read below to find out <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" />  <br /><br />I plan on coloring all my future Dragon Lords and Nomads in GIMP...I just hope it doesn't take forever (which it probably will...bleh). Oh well. I hope you guys are all doing well, and tell me how things are goin <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />Peace Out <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br />~~ The Nomads:<br />     The Nomads are a series of human-anatomy creatures designed to help me practice both human like characters and different types of backgrounds/environments. The story of the Nomads take place in my Demon and Dragon world. There is a Nomad for every type of landscape, for instance, desert, arctic (who I'm working on now), jungle, sea, etc.  They all share something in common in that they never contact humans and avoid them at all costs, and that they never show their faces. They always wear cloths or masks to hide themselves. No one knows why. Seeing as they live in a realm of dragons, most nomads tend to befriend or use dragons for their own benefits like protection or transportation. Nomads never contact Demons.  Nomads showed up on Earth in a short amount of time, making anyone who observes them wonder if they are some kind of alien and maybe that explains the lack of communication to people....<br /><br />Hope you enjoyed the story <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br />Art Trade:<br /><br /><a href="http://taslo.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/a/taslo.gif" alt=":icontaslo:" title="taslo"/></a> - Working on it<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hola friends!  This is an update about my current art and what's to come.  I'm currently working on a series called The Elemental Dragon Lords.  And a series called the Nomads (which I'll explain another time).  Ummm I'm sorry if my bloody drawing of Obsidian offends anyone, but when I want to vent, I'll vent.  Anyways, on a random note I don't like the new profiles too much <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" />  Being a natural hater of change, any unforseen adjustments of anything bug me..<br /><br />If you want to read about my Elemental Dragon Lords and stuff, read below, otherwise you don't have to and I hope all is well with everyone <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br />My Dragon Lords:  Of all the dragons, there exist 5 dragons born of the five elements (spirit, fire, water, earth, air).  They do not control their elements, but they pretty much live in harmony with them and serve to protect them.  Why protect something dangerous, lets say, like fire?  Because fire is a natural element and it, like the other elements, keep the world in total balance.  If one element were to die, then the world will crumble and life wouldn't be sustained.  That is why the Elemental Dragon Lords were born- to protect their elements.  Dragons in legend were very good guards, and that's why the universe chose them to protect the elements.  However, their enemies, the Demons have their share of Elemental lords as well.. who want just the opposite. All the Dragon Lords have offspring who are somewhat apart of their elements as well.  <br /><br />Hope my little story wasn't uh boring... but yeah I'm drawing them and they'll all be pretty cool I hope <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br />That's all! Peace out <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br />Art Trade:<br /><br /><a href="http://taslo.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/a/taslo.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icontaslo:" title="taslo"/></a> - posing<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I'm madly in love with someone on this site <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /> (and not afraid to show my feelings).<br />5. I have a few piercings and plan to get more, along with tattoos..<br />7. I'm very liberal, but I ignore most politics.<br />6. I want to be a concept artist or 3-D Animator in the future.<br />8. I plan on returning to a northern state after my education cuz I can't live without snow <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br />I don't want to tag anyone because the last time I did some people got annoyed :/ So I'll let anyone steal this.  More updates and sketches to come this weekend!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/boogie.gif" width="25" height="25" alt=":boogie:" title="Boogie!" /><br /><br />Art Trade:<br /><br /><a href="http://taslo.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/a/taslo.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icontaslo:" title="taslo"/></a> - still thinking..<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I have a note for anyone who looks at/watches my deviations.  I recently discovered that someone copied my dear Wolf and uploaded her own version of it without my permission.  Though she gave me credit, the fact that she copied my art made me pretty angry.  She wasn't even one of my devfriends either O.o  So just a little message to you all:<br /><br />**Absolutely DO NOT use, copy, trace, upload your own version, etc, without MY permission**<br /><br />I'm going to put this on each of my sketches of any original ideas/characters from now on.  I've all ready gone through and put the message on a few in my gallery, though soon it'll be all sketches.<br /><br />Anyways, I hope you guys are enjoying the winter! (or at least trying to, especially for those who live in cold climates).  I know I am XD<br /><br />And if I don't reply to your messages right away, just remember I no longer have internet access and my phone isn't compatible with dA's new layout.<br /><br />That's all, I'm not trying to be all bossy and whatever, I just want to protect my work <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />Peace<br /><br />Art Trade:<br /><br /><a href="http://taslo.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/a/taslo.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icontaslo:" title="taslo"/></a> - Thinking of ideas...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Happy Halloween! and happy autumn too <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />  All the leaves are soooooo gorgeous, but the ones here are falling fast.  But that makes me even happier as winter is on it's way ^^  Sometimes I hate this state cuz it gets cold during warm seasons and warm during cold seasons!! Soo what happens when it gets warm during November?  I get a bad sinus infection <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> *sniffles*<br /><br />Cuz my allergies are bad... and stuff.  Anyways, lots of sketches coming soon.  Some are Halloween related.  Also, as it's the season of giving I'm open for gift requests.  This year though, I'm not going to go around asking people for gifts as people usually say yes and then my schedule gets in the way... So I'll only draw something if someone wants it!  Mmmmkay?<br /><br />I think that's all... Well, have a good autumn! enjoy the leaves, praise or hate the oncoming snow, and love life <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /> Crystal-blue-dragon<br /><br />Gifts:<br /><br /><a href="http://dachief07.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/a/dachief07.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":icondachief07:" title="dachief07"/></a> - No hope of me getting to it soon.<br /><br /><a href="http://hawkeaglewolf.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/h/a/hawkeaglewolf.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconhawkeaglewolf:" title="hawkeaglewolf"/></a> - About to color it ^^<br /><br />Art Trade:<br /><br /><a href="http://eviecats.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/e/v/eviecats.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconeviecats:" title="eviecats"/></a> - Finished.

                <description><![CDATA[ *le sigh*  School started two weeks ago, my schedule is hectic leaving very little time for relaxing or drawing.  Heck, I'm supposed to be working on my art workbook now!  The mix of advanced classes, colorguard, after school college art class, and the environmental club will wear me down so fast (if it hasn't all ready). bleeehhh<br /><br />So if anyone makes any requests or anything, don't expect it do be done for several months.  In other news, the leaves are changing colors here and it's gettin colder... sooo nice <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />  <br /><br />I have 117 deviations to go through...soooo I better get crackin! XD<br /><br />EDIT:  I haven't been answering any replies or comments right away because we still don't have internet where I live, and my phone isn't compatible with the "new" dA. -_-;;<br /><br />Peace out!

When I come back I'll be doing my senior pics.  If I like em enough, then maaaaybe I'll upload them!<br /><br />Sooooo that's my busy summer, with almost no time for drawing.  Ugh and I still have to read.

                <description><![CDATA[ The other day, I thought about how odd it would be to preview deviations before actually clicking on them.  So I get on a computer finally (i've been using my phone for awhile) and I see that dA has changed to just that!  Am I psychic or something? O_o<br /><br />Anyways,so we still don't have internet, though we will get it soon I think.. On top of moving, doing homework for English, dealing with marching band/colorguard, and other little things, I've had little time to draw.. anything I've uploaded recently are things I've done over a long period of time.  And during the last half of summer, I have to visit multiple colleges, which is just another inconvenience.  I thought Summer break was supposed to be a break ya know? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br /><br />Well, I uploaded tons of dino sketches into my scraps, so if anyone watches scraps, I'm sorry if I overloaded your inbox!!  Though I would dearly appreciate it if anyone can help me out with their anatomy..cuz I don't think I'm drawing the dinos properly.<br /><br />Ummm that's it.  On that note, instead of me asking a question, why don't you ask ME a question?  Ask anything, I want to know what people come up with.<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br />Gifts:<br /><br /><a href="http://dachief07.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/a/dachief07.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":icondachief07:" title="dachief07"/></a> - I can't find it!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/fear.gif" width="18" height="18" alt=":fear:" title="Fear" /><br /><br /><br />Art Trade:<br /><br /><a href="http://eviecats.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/e/v/eviecats.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconeviecats:" title="eviecats"/></a> - Sketching.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I may have stated this in my last journal but i don't remember... Anyways, I'm in the process of packing all my stuff and today we're starting the move to our new house across town.  Now, I'll be able to check my dA in between moves I'm sure, but it's when I'm actually living there is what's worrying me.<br /><br />We've been borrowing someone elses internet all these years in our current home, so we're going to have to buy and wait for the internet to come when our move is complete.  Same thing goes with other things like cable, phone service, etc.<br /><br />It's gonna be a long week <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." />  So I just wanted to tell you guys in case I'm mysteriously gone for awhile.  On that note, I leave you with a question to ponder:<br /><br />Do you believe in evolution or intelligent design?  Both?  Neither??  Tell me what you think! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br /><br />Peace out  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /><br />Gifts:<br /><br /><a href="http://dachief07.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/a/dachief07.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":icondachief07:" title="dachief07"/></a> - Will still try to color soon...<br /><br /><br />Art Trade:<br /><br /><a href="http://eviecats.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/e/v/eviecats.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconeviecats:" title="eviecats"/></a> - Getting some ideas down.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Actually, I'm going to try and excercise, eat healthy, and keep a peaceful mindset the whole summer ^^  (hurray for meditation and yoga)!!<br /><br />I'm going to try and finish like every single drawing I've been working on today and tomorrow cuz I'm going to see my scanner this weekend.  Though I have to start cleaning and packing up cuz I'm moving soon <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/boogie.gif" width="25" height="25" alt=":boogie:" title="Boogie!" />, so my sketches may be cut short again.<br /><br />Eh I have advanced english homework for the summer but no biggie.

                <description><![CDATA[ I have a lot of journal entries.... i should delete some <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br /><br />Umm I uploaded some stuff last weekend and this weekend, but that's all i have for awhile.  However, I'm working on lots of sketches at the moment. (well, more like 3 or 4), but still, they're pretty sweet ; )<br /><br />Once again, if anyone wants another gift or hasn't had one and wants one, then tell me! I'm totally happy about drawing anything, though it would be awhile before anyone gets it <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br /><br />If you read this werewolf-krai, then understand that flash is giving me issues..i downloaded it from the adobe site and it hasn't really run at all... >.<  I'll find a way to make it work though!<br /><br />Tis it for now.  I'm going to pray to the education gods and hope that the teacher's lay off a bit this week!!!

                <description><![CDATA[ All righty, so this is basically just another update of artness and why i won't have fun sketching in the next weeks or so..<br /><br />Well, i finished quite a few sketches that i've been doodling on for some time now but there's still a lot to be finished!!!!!!  And this is the last day of spring break, which means I still have some make-up homeowork to finish (i was kinda sick last week) and a silly art project to finish which is sucking as it is >.>   <br /><br />And this is the time of year when the teacher's are hardest.  They give us oodles of end-of-year projects and homework for.....you know, i never figured out why they do that O_o  <br /><br />But as ya'll might've guessed I won't have fun relaxing time to sketch very much cept on the weekends.. *sigh*   Tis quite sad <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br /><br />So yeah, that's it.  OH and to make this journal relate to its title, it's been raining for like, 4 days.  It started as beautiful thunder storms but then it turned into icky cold rain.  Actually its sunny now but it's still WET out!<br /><br />Peace out.  I will seriously work on my journal length next time <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br /><br /><br /><br />Projects:<br /><br />Animation- The Metamorphosis: Paused<br /><br />Animation- Minotaur: Paused (though it's on the verge of finished-ness)<br /><br />Photoshop- Fantasy thingy: In Progress<br /><br /><br />Gifts:<br /><br /><a href="http://selena459.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/e/selena459.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconselena459:" title="selena459"/></a> - Have a sweet idea.

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm just kidding, I actually failed.  No really.........I failed the parking section of my test!!!!!!!!!!!!  But it wasn't entirely my fault... ok here's what happened:  So mr. military was barking orders at me with no smile, no "hi" or anything..  I pulled up to the line, back into the spot PERFECTLY and then attempted parallel parking yada yada.  I readjusted my parallel park 3 times though (because the guy TOLD me to..) So then he comes up to me and explains that I was not the maximum of 2 ft away from each of the lines... i was THREE ft away so he HAD to give me a bunch of points.  I can have 6 points before i fail right?  So there's three for the parallel and two for each line.<br /><br />He said I had seven points... so where'd the other two come from????? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wtf.gif" width="16" height="16" alt=":wtf:" title="WTF?" /><br /><br />What a nice way to rip people off ya know???  I'm taking my test again through a different company later this week.<br /><br />Ok happier stuff now!!  I have many sketches in the works.  One is a gift and it's coming along nicely <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />  In the future I will be doing a series of elemental dragon and demon drawings.  They'll be complete with a nice mini background story <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/nod.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":nod:" title="Nod" /><br /><br />So whilst it is my least fav time of the year.. (winter-spring transition) hopefully you can enjoy some sketches which i'll try to finish as quickly as possible...............................yeah.<br /><br />wow, sorry for the huge length.  but a lot happens in a couple weeks you know?  lots to talk about..... <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br /><br /><br /><br />PROJECTS:<br /><br />Animation "The Metamorphosis" - Paused<br /><br />Animation "Minotaur" - Unfortunately paused.<br /><br />Photoshop "Fantasy thingamajig" - In Progress<br /><br /><br />GIFTS:<br /><br /><a href="http://dragonriderofrohan.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/r/dragonriderofrohan.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":icondragonriderofrohan:" title="dragonriderofrohan"/></a> - Adding background stuff and extras..<br /><br /><a href="http://selena459.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/e/selena459.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconselena459:" title="selena459"/></a> - Not yet started.<br /><br /><a href="http://dachief07.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/a/dachief07.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":icondachief07:" title="dachief07"/></a> - May start coloring soon..<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I have my ACT, MME's (a very important, evil test that michiganians are forced to take) AND my road test all this week!! D:<br /><br />I'm kinda scared!  I've been studying slightly for my ACT on my own time (cause they don't tell us what's on it in school -_- ) My MME's.... i won't even try to figure out what those are about, and I don't consider myself a great driver so I'm a little freaked out about my road test too <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/fear.gif" width="18" height="18" alt=":fear:" title="Fear" />  Though i admit, i practiced parking some time ago and I did really good, so maybe i have a fighting chance! XD<br /><br />So um... if i'm not on dA all this week, then you'll understand why!  On that note... uh....wish me luck!!! *runs off and curls up in a dark corner*.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Ok I discovered that the internet works today, but still, that doesn't stop me at being furious at the head of the house for treating us like this!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/steaming.gif" width="15" height="24" alt=":steaming:" title="Steaming Mad!" />  Things like this caused me to draw that "evil side" of me <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/blankstare.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":|" title=":| (Blank Stare)" /><br /><br />Anyways, I was sick today and I'm terrified to see what I've missed x_x  Atleast the week's almost over.  I managed to finish a couple drawings (none of them are gifts unfortunately) but I did start a bunch of drawings including a gift, so hopefully I can make some progress in the art world!<br /><br />Umm.

                <description><![CDATA[ All righty, I'm not entirely angry, but I'm in a very frustrating position right now.  Our phone service and internet at home have been completely shut off and the owner of the household doesn't seem like she's going to pay the bill anytime soon.  Seriously, she almost literally shrugged it off when we described our desperate situation to her -_-  <br /><br />the only way I can talk to you guys and update anything for awhile is during my digital art class...but I'm cutting into precious animation time as i speak!!  I want to check all those lovely deviations, but i haven't the time.  and i haven't commented to any of the peeps on my forum post for a long time.. (those poor guys probly think i ditched them!)  DX<br /><br />So I'm going to try to not use the internet for the next while as long as I'm still in this position, because my animation is coming along so well and I'm desperate to finish it!<br /><br />Please, being the kind people you are, bear with me!  I may not be on deviantart for a long time <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/steaming.gif" width="15" height="24" alt=":steaming:" title="Steaming Mad!" /><br /><br />peace out<br /><br /><br /><br />PROJECTS:<br /><br />Animation "The Metamorphosis" - Paused<br /><br />Animation "Minotaur" - In progress<br /><br /><br /><br />GIFTS:<br /><br /><a href="http://dragonriderofrohan.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/r/dragonriderofrohan.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":icondragonriderofrohan:" title="dragonriderofrohan"/></a> - Not yet started.<br /><br /><a href="http://selena459.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/e/selena459.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconselena459:" title="selena459"/></a> - Not yet started.<br /><br /><a href="http://dachief07.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/a/dachief07.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":icondachief07:" title="dachief07"/></a> - May start coloring soon..<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Allrighty, I don't have much time to type since i have a decent amount of homework again x_x<br /><br />Speakin of school... My animation "Minotaur" is in flash, not photoshop and I'm happy to say that it's coming along extremely well! I'm really getting the hang of it ^^.  It's about a painter who paints a pic of a minotaur, and it comes to life and chases him... there's more to it, mind you!  Well, every now and then i goof up and have to take some time to fix it but it should be finished moderately soon <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/boogie.gif" width="25" height="25" alt=":boogie:" title="Boogie!" /><br /><br />So, my homework content has been nausiatingly high lately and I won't be able to start/finish any drawings or gifts I've been doing >.<<br /><br />I will upload some older goodies this weekend, and possibly a wicked evil dragon that lives deep in my soul.... O_o<br /><br />*cough* (if i can finish it in time >.> )<br /><br />EDIT:  PS.  there was a lunar eclipse the other night, holy crap! it was sweet ^^ i tried to take three pics of it but they all turned out blurry and then my camera died. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" />  And i just barely missed the fully pass over too.. the light was shining from the moon just as we got outside. BUT i saw a little shooting star below it too, it was awesome!!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/boogie.gif" width="25" height="25" alt=":boogie:" title="Boogie!" /><br /><br /><br />PROJECTS:<br /><br />Animation "The Metamorphosis" - Paused<br /><br />Animation "Minotaur" - In progress<br /><br /><br /><br />GIFTS:<br /><br /><a href="http://dragonriderofrohan.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/r/dragonriderofrohan.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":icondragonriderofrohan:" title="dragonriderofrohan"/></a> - Will start shortly<br /><br /><a href="http://selena459.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/e/selena459.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconselena459:" title="selena459"/></a> - Not started..

                <description><![CDATA[ You guys are probly wonnderin why I'm posting a journal during school hours again.  Wellll I have another snow day! (3rd so far.)<br />Only this one is due to subzero-ness rather than snow.. but i ain't complainin! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/boogie.gif" width="25" height="25" alt=":boogie:" title="Boogie!" /><br /><br />So i've been playing guitar hero three all day.  That dragonforce song is so much fun! but it's so hard (on hard level) XD  I played it on practice so I wouldn't fail before finishing it.  I got like, 1800 notes out of 2700  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/blankstare.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":|" title=":| (Blank Stare)" /><br />that's a pretty intense song >.<  But on the brilliant side, every song i played after it was shockingly easy! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" />  "Through the fire and flames" (i think that's what it is..) has inspired me to draw a sweet dragon breathing fire on a stormy night.  it won't be dull, it'll be AWESOME!!!<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." />  Wow, I'll never ramble that much again, sorry!<br /><br />So, happy Valentine's Day!

                <description><![CDATA[ Woohoo! first snow day of the year!  Most of our snow-day-weather so far has occured during weekends or breaks but now we finally have one and it excites me! XD<br /><br />Ok, actually this journal isn't about the snow day, it's another update:<br /><br />My animation The Metamorphosis, was coming along well and i was getting closer to finishing it, but i couldn't download PS to the computer because it asked for all of this business nonsense >.<  Plus, we're doing something else in my dig-art class so i can't continue it... BUT I SHANT GIVE UP! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/m/mwahaha.gif" width="29" height="15" alt=":evillaugh:" title="EVIL Laughter!" /><br /><br />So, this weekend I'm going to upload a bunch of drawings I've found from last winter (if i can remember to bring em this time!) and I'll upload a gift which is just about done.  And another thing, has anyone besides me noticed that my werewolf, chupacabra and harthop drawings all seem like they have the same arms and legs and claws??  XD<br /><br />There is another risk of a snow day on friday, but the town i live in is ignorant when it comes to people's lives so i might not get one >.><br /><br />Besides all this talk of snow, I've updated my progress a bit:<br /><br />GIFTS:<br /><br /><a href="http://azieser.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/a/z/azieser.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconazieser:" title="azieser"/></a> -  Uploaded!!<br /><br /><a href="http://werewolf-krai.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/w/e/werewolf-krai.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconwerewolf-krai:" title="werewolf-krai"/></a> - Uploaded!!<br /><br /><a href="http://dragonriderofrohan.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/r/dragonriderofrohan.png" width="50" height="50" alt=":icondragonriderofrohan:" title="dragonriderofrohan"/></a> - Not started..

                <description><![CDATA[ Whilst i'm sick and bored and thinking about how much school work i'll have to make up, i figured now is a nice time for an update!<br />
<br />
So, i have another gift-art completely drawn (for Werewolf-krai), and another that's in the works for azieser.  I won't be able to scan anything for 2 weeks since I won't see my scanner for that long.  I've discovered some drawings I drew last winter hiding in my room that i'll scan as well.  *sigh* um, that's all i can think of right now..<br />
<br />
I'll update this journal if i can figure out anything else that needs to be done.  I assure you my dearest dev-friends, I shall draw presents for almost everybody, but school and Winter guard are going to slow me down terribly.. >.<<br />
<br />
holy crap i've never felt this much pain in so many parts of my body! *moans from thoughts of WG*<br />
<br />
Well, on a stranger note the weather is freakishly warm! Again!  In fact, it's so warm that 4 feet of snow melted in like 2 hours and t-storms are going on.....crazy.<br />
<br />
I apologize for my senseless rambling, but as you can see i have LOTS of time on my hands >><br />
<br />
peace out  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/h/heart.gif" width="15" height="13" alt=":heart:" title="Heart" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
As you can see I'm back from sunny florida and i have a lovely tan too <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
I'm uploading some nonsensical drawings from my itty bitty notebook as well.  they're silly and old so i don't blame anyone if there's no fav's or comments <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." />  <br />
<br />
I hope everyone had a wonderful christmas! I know i did since i had like, 3 different ones <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" />  I got a plethora of clothes (mostly socks XD), movies, games, drawing notebooks, gel pens!!, some jewelery, and other silly things from my cousins <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/dance.gif" width="29" height="21" alt=":dance:" title="Dance!" />   I even got a really small notebook (smaller than my itty bitty one) to help me draw out animations cause it turns out i'm kinda good at them!<br />
<br />
On that note, have fun, celebrate the new year, enjoy your xmas gifts, and i promise i will have more giftarts soon! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ So today at this very moment might be the last chance i get to update anything, check out deviations, etc.  I will be in Orlando Florida this whole week visiting my family and going to awesome parks and opening presents!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/dance.gif" width="29" height="21" alt=":dance:" title="Dance!" /><br />
<br />
I may check dA one last time tomorrow morning, but I don't think I'll get up early enough... DX<br />
<br />
I only completed two gift arts as of now..I put them up for all to see.  I'm really sorry I couldn't get anymore done before christmas (believe me, I won't have anytime to draw any day from now til next week).  Once i get back, i'll try my best to make some belated christmas gift-arts <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br />
<br />
Anyways, to Pheliac and my evil twin, I hope you like your gifts!  They took a bit of time each to make, but even if you think they're crap i hope you know it's the thought that counts <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/nod.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":nod:" title="Nod" /><br />
<br />
Have a brilliant holiday guys, I'll miss ya in the sunny state! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/m/mwahaha.gif" width="29" height="15" alt=":evillaugh:" title="EVIL Laughter!" /><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Oh snap i missed the fire storm.. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/cries.gif" width="23" height="15" alt=":cries:" title="Waaaah!" />  oh well, it was cloudy anyways!!<br />
<br />
The ice is still here <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/paranoid.gif" width="23" height="15" alt=":paranoid:" title="They're all out to get me..." /><br />
<br />
guess what?? I finished 2 gift-arts! yaaaay!!!  I have officially decided to keep them colorless like my regular artwork and color them ONLY if the "reciever" wants it to be colored! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
I foresee much homework this week.... I fear i may not finish all of my gifts on time!  I'll try my best for my dearest (internet) friends, though.  no worries <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br />
<br />
i haven't finished my christmas shopping either <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/fear.gif" width="18" height="18" alt=":fear:" title="Fear" /><br />
<br />
EDIT: Brilliant news!!!!!!  It has been exactly ONE YEAR since i discovered dA (discovered...not joined).  Last year i spent like the whole winter break searching up nothing but dragon stuff and lilo and stitch stuff <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> ... *sigh* good times..... ^^<br />
<br />
Weeeeeeelllll i'm happy! school ends this week..and stuff....yeah<br />
Take care guys, have an amazing christmas!!<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I am going on an amazing field trip of amazing-ness this friday to Detroit, and I just happen to be able to listen to a director talk about his amazing movies....Guess who it is!! <br />
<br />
TOO LATE!!  It's Sam Raimi!!!!! the director of SPIDER MAN!!  He produced like, a thousand other movies too, like the evil-dead series <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/excited.gif" width="23" height="19" alt=":excited:" title="OMG! I can't contain my excitement!" />  (which i'm a BIG fan of!!)<br />
<br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/boogie.gif" width="25" height="25" alt=":boogie:" title="Boogie!" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/dance.gif" width="29" height="21" alt=":dance:" title="Dance!" /> <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/boogie.gif" width="25" height="25" alt=":boogie:" title="Boogie!" />  ok, you know what? No amount of emoticons can represent my excitement!!!  I'm going insane!!<br />
<br />
<br />
*takes deep breath*  ok i'll try to calm down... <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/excited.gif" width="23" height="19" alt=":excited:" title="OMG! I can't contain my excitement!" /><br />
<br />
More updates: <br />
I'm working on multiple sketches right now and I'm going to try a stop motion project (which will probably be hand drawn).  So i'll be nice and busy for a few weeks....yeah<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ ......is the only place on earth that starts with 70 degrees, and drops to below freezing and snowing in less then 24 hours.<br />
<br />
I am such a lucky person.<br />
<br />
anyways, yeah it's snowing.....again. BUT i love it! it's awesome.  It's hilarious because everyone I live with hates the snow, so i go around our house saying "The magical S-word is here again!"  <br />
<br />
ok so i'm a dork XD<br />
<br />
UPDATE TIME!<br />
<br />
I may post something from apophysis or my dig-art class every now and then.  My skeletal dragon and psycho bunny are scanned, cleaned up and are totally beautiful!  Though, I was forced to leave my scanner's house just after posting the Fearless Fight pic, so I couldn't post them <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/cries.gif" width="23" height="15" alt=":cries:" title="Waaaah!" /><br />
<br />
oh well.  In 3, count em, THREE weeks I'll put them up... *mumbles angrily*.<br />
<br />
That's it, I hope you get snowed on! Really, it's a lovely experience <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/m/mwahaha.gif" width="29" height="15" alt=":evillaugh:" title="EVIL Laughter!" /><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Good golly gosh it freakin snowed!! Every morning it's been a little powdery out and we could still see some tiny flakes falling!  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/excited.gif" width="23" height="19" alt=":excited:" title="OMG! I can't contain my excitement!" /><br />
<br />
I love the snow, it's amazing and pretty and I love the cold and don't care that I'll soon have a license and be driving in it!!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/boogie.gif" width="25" height="25" alt=":boogie:" title="Boogie!" />   <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br />
<br />
So yeah i'm happy <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
<br />
Um totally random question: does anyone know if nose rings fall out of your nose easily?  cause my nose stud has fallen out TWICE before it healed and i'm sick of it!!  so i want a ring instead <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/nod.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":nod:" title="Nod" /><br />
<br />
UPDATE TIME!<br />
<br />
Edit:<br />
Ok so I went through most of my sketches and darkened them.  I also did some minor cropping on a couple as well.  In fact, most of the changes are so small you may not notice them unless you've been through my gallery lately <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." />  Anyways, our scanner is picking the perfect time to NOT WORK! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/steaming.gif" width="15" height="24" alt=":steaming:" title="Steaming Mad!" />  Because the copy portion of it isn't working, the scanner portion won't function...it's annoying, mainly because I want to fix my dragon skeleton/psycho bunny pics and I have another dragon drawing to upload!!! grrrrr.....<br />
<br />
Oh well, if I get it fixed by the afternoon then I'll upload those things.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/n/nod.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":nod:" title="Nod" /><br />
<br />
Um that's it I guess.  Have a nice Sunday!<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Halloween is over and I'm sad, but hey, i totally got lots of candy!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
*sigh* the fall is so pretty, almost all the leaves are gone here.  WOOHOO turkey day is in less then a month!! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/dance.gif" width="29" height="21" alt=":dance:" title="Dance!" /><br />
<br />
So yeah, i uploaded pics for the occasion, (which will be improved greatly when I actually scan them <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> ) <br />
<br />
I will put up some pics of the amazing trick or treaters i went out with, but only for a short time though.  I've planned on not putting up pics of myself on dA, but I think Halloween is special enough for it <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
*cough* <br />
<br />
now, for some ending notes:<br />
-Pirates rule.<br />
-Candy rules.<br />
-I have no school tomorrow<br />
-Skellingtons rock!<br />

I love halloween <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" />  I'm gonna be a disney pirate <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" /><br />
<br />
Um, well, anyways I have some odd halloween type sketches that should be around and up the weekend before halloween.  One's this skeleton holding a pumpking.. heheheh<br />
Another is a psycho bunny that I save JUST for the occasion <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br />
<br />
So i took a PSAT yesterday. Not SAT, but the PSAT. oooh i'm special XD     it was boring ><<br />
<br />
So spiders are walking about my house. o_O  You know what i've noticed?????  every autumn spiders, and i mean LOTS of spiders will invade our house!!  They probably just want warmth, but still, its SCARY!!!!  Yesterday was the first day in a week in which i used our small bathroom because of this invasion >_O<br />
<br />
If you wanna hear a scary spider story, just tell me. (though i don't think anyone wants to hear any) <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" /><br />
<br />
That's all in the land of Crystal blue dragons!!!<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, school started today... but that's just the beginning of my problems.  First off, the 1st day was messed up and we didn't have classes like normal.  Then both me and some friends realized that our schedules were messed up and didn't work with our normal transportation schedules (i know that's confusing, but we have some off campus classes that have their own bus schedules). Since my Digital art/animation class is the only off campus class, I needed to reschedule it to a different time.<br />
<br />
So I emailed my counselor a billion times about it and she just called me back stating that "all other hours are full, you have to drop the class unless you can get here early enough to catch the bus."<br />
...........<br />
<br />
I can't get to the school early..I take a bus!  Basically, the amazing art class I was looking forward to for nearly a year is gone for a whole nother year... <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br />
<br />
I was brought to tears when I found this out.<br />
I hope my few, but loving watchers are happier than I am....<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ *sigh* my super uber awesome Adobe Photoshop CS3 30-day trial has ended!! I had multiple fun little color projects in the works but now I can't continue them <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/c/cries.gif" width="23" height="15" alt=":cries:" title="Waaaah!" /><br />
<br />
On a happy note, I have sketches done in micron pen! yaay! Alas, I won't see my scanner for 2 weeks (again).  Ooooo, that means I can try to color them in my colored micron pens! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/m/mwahaha.gif" width="29" height="15" alt=":evillaugh:" title="EVIL Laughter!" /> <br />
<br />
Anyways, I have a question!! I'm trying to draw a psychotic background to a psychotic bunny I just drew in micron pens and i'm no good with backgrounds. SO, does anyone have any tips/thoughts/ideas on how to do this???? <br />
<br />
Sorry to be so uuuh bleak with this, but I need help! Please?<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ So i finally have access to a scanner, obviously, but there's something wrong with it.  I don't know if it's settings are wrong or if it's glitching but it won't scan my pencil sketches.<br />
<br />
Does anyone know ho to fix this? I'm using a lexmark copier/printer/faxer/scanner.<br />
<br />
Let's put it this way, my pics are scanning but only a skinny strip of my drawing pops up.  Adjusting the image doesn't help. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br />
<br />
PLEASE HELP ME!!!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Lately I've been drawing sketch after sketch, creature after creature and they've been terrible!  Normally they, especially my dragon ones, look awesome, even if they're colorless. <br />
<br />
I've been looking through my old creature sketches and compared them to my recent ones and it looks like my old ones have incredible detail and meaning while the ones now have no detail or meaning or anything interesting. they're average and boring.<br />
<br />
Another thing, look at my Fire dragon, it's totally bland and doesn't look interesting. it's only cool because it's colored several different colors!!<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, no one can tell me what's really wrong until I upload all of my old and new sketches which won't happen for another week.<br />
<br />
that concludes my personal rant.<br />
I hope I can get help soon...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Soooo, I joined this place because I used to look through people's arwork getting new ideas and inspiration for my own artwork.<br />
After all that time, I decided to finally join and submit my own sketches.  I rarely color mine, but I thought the first couple I submitted were cool (colorwise) <----if that makes any sense.<br />
<br />
My art consists of mostly sketches of dragons, beasts, demons, etc.<br />
If anyone has any advice for my art, I want to hear it 'cause I know I need to improve.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>
