                <description><![CDATA[ Hellos alls!!! (^.^) Yes, I am reiterating the title!~~~ (>_< )<br />
<br />
Fear not, for I still exist, at least in the real world, but not so much here on DA. Unfortunately, drawing is not a subject that I seem to be finding time for anymore. I still draw random and sterotypical pictures when I am bored at school (*although I really should be studying), but coloring them has been an entirely different matter! (~_~)' For some reason, I can't seem to finish them up!!! Weirdly enough, I possess a ridiculously high quantity of half colored, or half drawn images lying around in my folders. It's rather tragic, to say the least.<br />
<br />
I wish to complete them before Christmas break ends, but I have to finish up on my current commissions first before I even touch them!!! (^_^) So alas, they shall continue to poise in tranquility until their the time arrives, ... I suppose. <br />
<br />
Another factor at hand is a direct result of the SL game that I am currently involved on. I am working really hard on acquirng a massive array of clothing articles outfits to sell in the game, which is quite time consuming as well. I've mentioned this before in the spring, but I think many have missed out on this information! (^_~) It is actually quite a fun hobby, but challenging at times because I can never quite make things the way in which I envision them or would otherwise be able to draw them. SL is a difficult tool to fiddle with! (>.< )'''''' If you've never seen SL, then it may be difficult to imagine what in the world I am talking about!!! (@__@) The following images are to help clarify:<br />
<br />
* A pictures of our digital store, but some things weren't loaded before I took the photos, thus the blurriness in some areas.<br />
<br />

<a href="http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t141/Francessca-Bella/ZiaDesignsWhiteCrossAttirePoster.jpg">[link]</a><br />
<br />
So yes, I really really want to post some new images, but it is just taking longer than I wish! I also think that perhaps my lack of motivation for coloring my images is due to the possiblity that I may be growing tired of utilizing only traditional media. I think that maybe I will try to digitally color some images in the future! (^__^)' I am rather curious about the process involved there. Any tips on the matter would be helpful as well!!!<br />
<br />
Wait! One more random thing! <br />
<br />
What's up with the Deviant note spamming? (o_0) 10 weeks and 4 days since my last login, and I recieved 31 of them despite the inactivity. Is this a trend or what!? It is quite pesky to say the least especially since I can not even begin to imagine how they mangaed to navigate to this inactive account. 'Tis insanity!!! (@_@)'''<br />
<br />
Anyways, thank you for your time and support everyone! I appreciate it beyond words!!!! (0^____^0) <br />
<br />
Ciao for now,<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Hello!!!<br />
<br />
There's truly nothing much to say, other than this is a pointless journal entry!!! (@_@)''' ....  (^_^) I'm just writing it because starring at the previous entry has grown quite tiresome!!! It's dated way back to May 23, 2007! XDDD That's so long ago!!! Not much activity on this account, right?<br />
<br />
Aside from that strange form of reasoning, nothing else is new! As predicted, I haven't experienced any opportunities to complete new pictures this summer either. (o_0) But alas, I still have a couple of illustrations remaining from spring, so I will upload them sometime this week!!! (^_^)<br />
<br />
Wait!!! One more thing to note. I have changed my login status to public. Hopefully, this will allow you to see when my last login was so that if I don't respond to messages for a long time, you can see why!!! I simply haven't logged in yet to recieve them! (^_~) <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, a lot of you seem to have noticed that I haven't really been on DeviantArt at all lately. My commenting and browsing activity has almost surceased, and I haven't uploaded any arts, or updated my journal in a reeeeaaly long time!!! Almost 5 weeks of inactivity, to be precise!!! XDD<br />
<br />
I just answered everyone's email inquiries earlier this morning promising to provide more details of why I have been absent in my journal! So here it goes!!! (^__^)''' Caution: This may become lengthy, so prepare yourself!!!!<br />
<br />
Initially, I wasn't online because of final exams at my school. In order to force myself to study for them, I had to ban myself from all possible distractions, which unfortunately included DeviantArt! XDD Believe me, it is very easy to become distracted on the internet!!! It is a major time warper!!! (@__@)''' Sure, I may intend to only be on the pc for 30 to 40 minutes or so, but that time slot can easily transform into 3-4 hours, or more!!! That's why it is better to not get on the pc at all, or else I wouldn't study at all!!! XD Which would be bad ..., very, very bad! XD I actually took my laptop and put it on the top of my closet shelf because I knew I would be too lazy to grab a stepping stool and get it back down!!! XDDD <br />
<br />
Okay, so now school is over, and final exams have tormentuously passed, but now there is another massive, time consuming obstacle before me. It goes by the dreaded name of "A Job." No, having a job is nothing new, but the amount of hours I have to work now during the summer is! XD Not to mention the time frame in which they transpire ... Since I got laid off from my waitress job due to overstaffing, I now work at a grocery store.  This is fine and everything (I actually like it better), except for the fact that I only get 8.00 USD per hour. This means I have to work forty hours per week in order to make as much money as I did working 25 hours per week as a waitress! XDD It is really annoying!!! So, that automatically cuts my free time down by a humongous quantity!!! (O____O)''''' The other problem with my new job is the time frame of the hours. It is usually 11:00 am to 8:00 pm!!! (<_< ) That basically ends up being my whole day ... XD<br />
<br />
Then, there is this one other thing which is consuming my free time, however little of it there is. It is called digital dress making. Basically, it involves making clothes for avatars (which are the playing characters) in the online game called Second Life. Here is a link to the website <a href="http://www.secondlife.com">[link]</a> if anyone wants more detail on the issue. Actually, I think it classifies as more of a 3D chatroom than a game, but for some reason, it is still referred to as a game.  (o_0)Â At first, I didnÂt want to be involved, but my mom convinced me to help her (she makes a lot of clothes in the game too). So now, Â thatÂs basically where all of my creative energy is going, at least for the moment. Making an outfit takes probably 6-10 hours depending on the details. ThatÂs the time equivalency of illustrating a full colored picture!!! (^_^) (@_@)Â It is actually pretty fun though, because the outfits actually sell for real money, so it is a reasonably profitable form of art!!! Once you have one made, you can sell copies of it forever!!! Here are some examples of outfits that weÂve made (try to ignore the pixeliness, the game takes bad quality pics! XD): <br />

<a href="http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t141/Francessca-Bella/PurpleRenaissanceDressPoster.jpg">[link]</a><br />
<br />
There are really a lot more elements to describe, but I think this pretty much describes the bulk of why I havenÂt been on DeviantArt for a while, and may actually not be online very much even into the future! DonÂt worry though, I will still try to draw some pictures when I get a chance! I still love illustrating pictures more than anything else!!! (o*____*o) I actually have three more pics to upload, but they are not really all that great Â (~_~)ÂÂÂÂ But alas, I will still upload them sometime when the opportunity arrives! Maybe sometime this week! (^__^) <br />
<br />
Eeek, if you have actually read this pestilent journal all the down to hear, I am amazed!!! It was waaaay to long to say the least! (^.^)ÂÂÂ I apologize for that!!!<br />
<br />
Anyways, ciao for now everyone!!! And thank you for all your sugary support!<br />... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Lately, a lot of individuals have been inquiring about what mediums I use on my pictures, so I am going to publicly state it once and for all! Hopefully, this will clear things up a lot and prevent further interrogation, at least to a certain extent! XDD (^___^) Also, whenever I get a chance, I will start adding in the medium description for the pictures currently in my gallery, and will state it in the description of newly posted deviations in the future! However, if I do forget to state the mediums in future uploads, dont hesitate to remind me to do so! I am senile sometimes and really may actually forget! (>.< )<br />
<br />
Basically, my pictures are either done in watercolor or colored pencils, but never both. I think coloring is my most favorite part of the entire illustration process! I sometimes draw the line art just so I can color it! I am hopelessly obsessed with coloring things! (@.@) Although  you can probably tell that already! I also tend to stick with specific color themes, rather than color spontaneously.<br />
<br />
Originally, colored pencils were my first medium for coloring. As a result, all of my older drawings were done using them. On this DeviantArt gallery, those are primarily at the back of the gallery, and can be identified by the dates posted with the descriptions! I think the average date range is from 2002 to 2005 or so. The images are obviously old too because my line art had even more issues back then than it does now! I was still in middle school when I did the really old ones! XD <br />
<br />
As for watercolor illustrations, they are mostly at the front of the gallery. (^__^) Of course, there are a few exceptions, but it really is mostly watercolor. So far, it looks like the plethora of future uploads will be in watercolor too. Its currently my favorite medium! The dates of watercolor images are from about 2005 to the present, so hopefully that will help you in identifying them as well.<br />
<br />
Finally, I think I should address the issue of digital arts. In short, I dont have any uploaded to this gallery! (o.0) I actually only have one digital artwork, and it was created in Microsoft Paint during monotonous hours of boredom in school! XD I promise to upload it some day, but I dont know when exactly! It will just be a surprise! It is actually not too bad considering what I used to draw and color it with  (<_< ) Overall though, I am really not into drawing digitally! I lost attention so fast, its scary! I prefer to use traditional medium instead  I guess I am just weird! (>__< )<br />
<br />
Okay then! I think I have babbled on long enough! (^_^)<br />
<br />
Ciao for now!<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Yay!!! Yesterday was my birthday and I am still super excited! (^o^) It has been a whole entire year since my last one too! That's way too long to say the least! ('~') ... XDDD But alas, it will always be a long wait in between birthdays I suppose! I just have to get used to that fact. (>.< ) Also, I seem to have turned 19 somehow. How ever did this happen!? XD I was just 18 a few days ago! Plus, what exactly is that age supposed to be anyways!? 19 is just a really weird, odd number, and I am stuck with it for a year now! XD <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Spring is finally here! Well ... not officially according to pre-determined calender dates, but who cares!? (^_^) It is finally warm outside, the snow has melted, the trees are budding, and the bulbs are springing forth from the earth! (*-*)''' Yes, this is my favorite season! lol It cheers me up!<br />
<br />
Weirdly enough, I haven't logged onto the internet for the last five days. It just isn't holding my interest lately. So, for anyone who has been waiting several days for my reponses to your letters and comments, I sincerely apologize. I am going to respond to all of them right after this journal entry!!! I promise that! (^_^)<br />
<br />
Finally, all art trades, requests, and gifts have been finished at last! I hope you all enjoy and like them! (^///^) I worked hard on them, each and every one! (*-*) I will not take any new trades or requests though, mostly because I am back in school when Monday arrives. This means more academic rigor and depleted free-time. (@_@)<br />
<br />
Finally, I thank everyone for their support and constructive criticisms on my artworks! Your input is highly valued, and is really helpful to me! (*__*) Thank you so much!!!<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I can't believe I have midterms next week!!! (<_<') ... XD It seems like I just started school a few weeks ago! Well, at least spring break is the week after them! Yay! But unfortunately, my university only gives us a week off. (U_U)' Apparently the school officials are listening to campus' academic obsessed nuns to much ...... (-.-)'<br />
<br />
However, I still promise to use the break to finish off any remaining trades and requests that are still floating around in my sketch book limbo! XD Thank you to all who have waited patiently! <3 <3 <3 Right now, and after the current ones are finished, I won't be taking anymore trades or requests until the summer though! I really don't have enough time to complete them quickly and properly this semester! All the academic work/ labor work diminishes the creative aspects of my brain and when I do have a day off, I am to tired to draw anything decent, let alone force my brain to think! My brain is a very stubborn entity! XDD If I do draw something, it looks ridiculous and pathetic! (@_@)'''' Not satisfactory at all. <br />
<br />
Anyways, I think that is it for now! Thank you a bajillion times over to everyone who encourages me and critiques/comments on my artworks! You guys really cheer me up, especially on those days when my insane work load has me in a state of despair! (^__^) Hahah, the joys of student life! lol But no, seriously, thank you all!!!! (>.*__*.)>---<3<br />
<br />
P.S. I will upload some new works too, well they aren't actually straight out of the wrapper new, but they are ones that haven't been posted on D.A. yet!  (^.^)'' They aren't exactly old either! They were created in December or January! So I guess they are of an infant age ... err yeah! I seem to be speaking lots of nonsense things this morning!!!! lol Grazie! Feel free to ignore the nonsensible writings!!!!!!! XD<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I just want to let everyone know that I may not be online too much for the next few weeks! I will still check in and everything, but I probably won't be uploading any new works for a while, or taking anymore art trades, or requests. (;_; ) Grazie! Commissions are okay though, as long as the deadline is relatively long, as in 4-5 weeks from now or longer.<br />
<br />
The spring semester has just began, and I am already drowning in mountainous piles of work, and textbook studies. (@.@) The fact that I have to maintain a minimum GPA of 3.6 to maintain my academic scholarship, and a 3.2 GPA plus 90 hours of community service to keep my other scholarship means that I have to work really hard! (<_< ) Then there's also the fact that I wok part-time on the side to pay for the evil text-books that deliver me grief, and some of my remaining tuition. Gahhh!!! It's really hard and time consuming!!!!! But alas, don't worry, I shall survive!!! The good thing is, there's ony 3.5 more months left until summer break!!!! (*-*) lol And then I will be completely free for 3.5 months again!!!! I will definitely have tons of time to work on more artworks for us all!!!<br />
<br />
Hopefully, things at school will start to calm down once I get early term papers finished, study ahead of schedule, and get used to my new classes! In the meantime, I will just have to sacrifice I suppose! It should get easier within the next few weeks though!!! At least, that's what I am telling myself, because I already miss having time to do the things I love, especially drawing!!!! Plus, there are so many things still I have to draw before I die or something!!!! I don't want to be ghost with unfinished business! (^o^)<br />
<br />
Anyways, I hope everyone is doing well, and not drowning in textboks!!! It's a cruel fate. (+_+) A vile enemy doesn't even deserve that.<br />
<br />
Wait!!!!! One more thing before you scamper off! I promise to post another journal with everyone's requested links to my other galleries, answers to everyone's questions, commission info, friends links, and other miscelaneous items that I seem to be receiving lots of inquiries on! So please be patient!!!!! I promise to deliver it soon!!!! \(o*__*o)/<br />
<br />
Lookie! I have some of it done already! XD<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Tis all in the title everyone! XDD Ive been tagged twice this week! By the same tag form variety too! So  without further ado, I shall reveal the tagging culprits! (^_~) <a href="http://rebecca13.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/r/e/rebecca13.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="rebecca13" /></a> and <a href="http://saikohono.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/a/saikohono.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="saikohono" /></a> !!!! (^.^) <br />
<br />
Below is the tagging criteria: <br />
<br />
V<br />
V<br />
V<br />
<br />
***The rules are, the first player of this game starts with the topic "6 Weird Habits/Things About Yourself" and people who get tagged need to write a journal about their 6 Weird Habits/Things as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says "You are tagged" in their devPage comments and tell them to read yours.***<br />
<br />
Lets see here, six weird habits/things about myself! (^.^)  Im going to have to think of this a little bit!  *two days later* .<br />
<br />
1. I am totally not a procrastinator!!! I never do anything at the last minute, and that is the honest truth! For example, if I have a term paper due in two months, I will have it finished and perfected within 2-3 weeks after it is assigned!!! (^.^) <br />
<br />
2. If I am watching an anime that I am really intrigued by, I will exclaim things out loud, even if no one is in the room to hear me. Actually, I think I do this more when no one is in the room! (@_@)<br />
<br />
3. After work, I will run home rather than walk! (o.O) After many hours of slavery at a minimum wage job, I truly lack any patience to travel slowly.<br />
<br />
4. I am almost always tapping my fingers or feet when I have nothing constructive to do! I think that I may have attention deficit disorder, or something!<br />
<br />
5. I like school. No  seriously, I grow happy when a teacher announces that we have a big project to complete. Its really weird, the more difficult an assignment is, the more I want to take it on! (<_< )<br />

6. I like public speaking! Heheh! (^o^)<br />
    <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Hello everyone!!! (o^___^o) <br />
<br />
       This is my first time joining Deviant Art, and I have to say that I am totally impressed with the site thus far! (*_*) There are so many talented artists on this site, it is absolutely amazing! So, if you receive a seemingly random watch from me, dont be surprised!!! In fact, its really not random at all!  Its because you have some amazing art that totally impresses me! (^_~) Anyways, aside from all that jazz, I will be looking forward to interacting with you all here! This website seems highly active, entertaining, and diversified, so I will definitely be sticking around! I am going to slowly upload my artworks here until they are all uploaded. Starting with the oldest pics (the most flawed ones) and then working up to the most recent (which are the better images). As always, feel free to critique them as you wish, even the old, flaw-filled ones. I truly value everyones opinion on all matters, so do not hesitate to speak your mind! (^.^) <br />
<br />
Okay then, ciao for now!!!<br /><br /> ]]></description>
