Sorry the recent inactivity. I've been busy. And now is not the time to be going on dA.
I have my big exams in the next 2 weeks. I really don't want to leave dA for that time, but the sooner the better. So, tschuss! :V

Don't worry, I'll only be away for a few days.
It's major, but not any vital organs. Just fixing up a pretty bad knee injury.

On another note, an anonymous person made another plz account ----> I never liked this emote, but I guess some people do.

Anyways, I'll see you in a few days.

Hehe, I got it yesterday. And boy, is it just bloody fun when you play with a friend.
The range of guns you can choose from and the different character abilities just make the game endless. I'm already a level 17 Lilith, and I'm just loving her Phasewalk. It makes everything so easy. :3

If anyone ever gets this game on PS3, I'll be happy to team up with you on your journeys. My PSN ID is los_three_amigos.

Damn you lurkers!
The winners of the kiriban competition are ~AnonymousMonster, *MikuHat13, ~TheUncle2k, =snowsok. Only problem is, I don't think I could cope with anything more than one winner again. D:

Now, because of my inactivity for only 2 days, now I can't see the number of minutes they submitted the screenshot before the other competitors. So I can't officially declare who posted it first. Why'd you winners have to submit it in the same hour?



The real question is what should I do with you...
I can't give you all requests. You know me. I have end of year exams in the next weeks. D:< And then I wouldn't have them completed until next mid-year.

Advice please? :V
_{On another note congrats to the winners. xD}

Please, I need someone to play in Multiplayer (stage battles) on Brutal Legend. I'd really appreciate it.

My Playstation 3 ID is los_three_amigos. However, if you don't own Brutal Legend, than just add me as a friend. Or you can tell me your ID, and I add you.

_{On another note, the kiriban is still on! Catch my 50,000 pageview. :V}

Yep, I'm nearing my 50,000 which means I'll be hosting another kiriban! Just as last time, there'll be prizes! Emoticon request, avatar, support stamp, whatever!

Get stalking!

I feel really old.
I've just been looking back at more older emotes from when I was twelve: reminiscing on the old days. It kind of looks like... that nothing has really changed. I might even say that the animations were better and more fluent, the expressions as well, and even the shading, which has only been modified slightly (I still love `darkmoon3636's 'central' or 'illow' shading and wonderful use of colours) looked better back then. My :tardfire: emote still remains on of my favourites.

Ever since `darkmoon3636 left dA, my inspiration levels remain lower. I adored her shading, and that sort of encouraged my present shading and emotes/animations today.

The emoticon community is great as well... but it was also different back then. There were way less projects. Emotes were made for solely MSN purposes, and only the few odd ones weren't. Now, their are ones with backgrounds: some which I wouldn't call emotes, or even pixel art to that matter.

Anyways, I'm probably just grumpy from being tired. So, I might go to sleep and see if I feel better the next morning. :V

I feel so old now though. ;_;
It was actually four days ago, but I completely forgot. Thanks for everyone who've supported me for all those years, even when my emotes haven't changed since I was 12.

^{The questions, answers and features will be updated in the next journal. At the moment though, I feel this is more important.}

Ask me anything! I'll answer every question, even the most ridiculous ones. But I'll answer it how I like. But I'll still answer it.

So go and Anonymously-ask-me RIGHT NOW! >:D [link]

Answers and questions will be updated in this journal:

How many pancakes does it take to shingle a brick dog house?
Pfft... none. Pancakes are useless to me: you can shingle a brick doge house using mudkips. Oh, and cake.

Are you gay, bisexual, straight, or none of the above/left?
Well, I'm only 14. I think I'm straight.

Do combs taste better with mustard or kecktup?
Neither. They taste better with applesauce.

Are you a(ya know) A Racist
Well, yes, I'm not racist. You're confusing me, because if you say 'you're a A Racist', the capital A before Racist means you're not racist: it's an expression. (e.g We're A Religious, meaning we're not religious.)
Anyways, I am racist sometimes. But always as a joke. Living in Australia, it's normal to make light racist jokes without doing any harm. I go to a very multicultural school in Australia: 60% is asian, despite Australia being a predominantly white society.
So, the answer is yes and no. >:V

If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around, does it make a noise? (trick question)
How would you know? Sound is a wave, but unless they're is anything in the forest to 'translate' the sound, it is just a mere wave, like light. OMGWTFBBQ

How long is yo' penis? O:
I'm only 14. D: I'm still growing.
Anyways, it's long enough.

What is your favorite band?
I dunno; anything that isn't too mainstream. Could be between Muse, Karnivool, or Coldplay.

Why haven't you made an emote for ODST?
What is ODST?

Do you have any suggestions for aspiring pixel artists?
Yes. Keep making art helps. But most the help comes from looking a great pixel art and taking a closer look at it; you know, drag into Photoshop/Fireworks/you're program and zoom it. Take note of the dithering, the shading, the lines, and especially the colours. Colour is important in pixel art. Lines come first obviously, but colour comes close to it. Dithering should only be used as a last resort. Colours are there so you can get the perfect balance and harmony of shading, and create a mellow colour palette.
Pixel art is much like drawing and painting.

If you could meat Obama in person, what would you do?
Nuthin.

Can I has question?
Yes.

If I can question, can I has emote too?
No.

How long is yo' penis? O: ?sinep 'oy si gnol woH
Reversed for emphasis & truth! (different person asking)
Who is asking this? It's longer than yours. c:<

Will you turn gay for me?
Turn gay for a complete anonymous stranger? Of course.

Have you/Would you ever want to visit the United States?
No I haven't. But really do want to. My parents, especially my dad, is critical of the American society, particularly the crime and snobbish society factor. They really don't want me to go. They say it... ]]> =Kermodog http://Kermodog.deviantart.com/journal/27590310/ http://Kermodog.deviantart.com/journal/27590310/ Mon, 05 Oct 2009 02:34:08 PDT

=ManiacalMuffin.
Yes, the raffle was very bias. It's her birthday today and she didn't have a sub.

Apologies to all those who participated: I know there's a few of you who really wanted it. Lots of you derserved it as well. :<

Which means I won't have time to make an Emoticomic entry. :<
Sorry Karen and Joel. ;_; I know there have been a lack of entries, and I'm not helping.

I'm away for the next week, as at the moment I'm in my school holidays. I'll be over on the East Coast havin a sweet surf trip over at Noosa. So I'd like to just mention this so you don't go wondering where the hell i've gone.

To =ROBlNHOOD: your avatar is coming a little slowly, but I'll finish it the day I get back. Hope you have enough patience. <_<

And to my other requester, whose DA name I cannot spell, I'll try to get 3 more of your emote requests done. :> I've taken too long as well.

So, goodbye for a week!

I don't like this new dA look. It worked for the film category, but not for other categories? It's turning into Sheezyart...

I've been getting a lot of feedback lately, so I'm just gonna tell them, answer them and show them.

First, for those who don't know and haven't read my past journals, I AM A TWIN. Unfortunately, he does not make emotes, and is not active any more. If you really care, it's ~Eddymaw. But he does not go on anymore. I envy his dA free life.

Secondly, it turns out my Compewtur emote is on the Popular list for today! The number of faves on it are incredible: thanks to those who took part it in.
It only took five minutes... <_<

Thirdly, and most importantly, do you remember those comments I got from that ~JonCiaccio dude from a few days ago? He's made 3 more useless, rude comments on my page, all of which I have replied to and flagged as spam. He is really giving me the nerves, calling my gallery garbage. He is just... really wierd.

I've been trying to get him reported, hopefully he will be accounted for. Maybe even banned. But I'm not sure if he will, or the dA rules allow it.

I really hate . D:<

Just got the album 2 nights ago.

OMGYESITISSOOOOOAWESOME.

Yeah, that's pretty much all I have to say.

Here are te winners for teh Opus competition, based on the theme, "Whore"

1st Place:


2nd Place:


3rd Place:


Congratulations to all the winners!

I know I've already submitted a journal today, but my DD wouldn't be complete without some insulting comments/idiots in there, right? xD

Have a look at these:

[link]

[link]

I'm not sure if the first guy is saying the deviation is horrible or as the humour as horrible: though to me, it sounds kinda like an insult.

I don't have to explain the second guy. I don't know what he's on about.
I just love online insults.

Yay, my fifth DD! :0 Thank you so much to *ManiacalMuffin for suggesting, and ^Synfull for featuring. I was hoping my :petroltrap: emote would get a little more attention, and that's what I got. 1000+ faves is more than anything else I could ask for.

Apologies for the late reaction: my internet failed yesterday, I couldn't even play Far Cry 2 onliine. I'll try to respond to all my comments in the next few days.

Also, I do believe ~MrM4tty suggested :petroltrap: 5 months ago, so I think he deserves a feature too.

About time for an update. I've been busy with school and despised english essays.
Anyways, just to be 'updateful' and all, I have an emote in the making, no backgrounds, but pixel-arty still. Requests are coming along slowly and I finally got a facebook.

I'm gonna be out for the next few days, as I have a mini holiday. I don't want to be stuck to dA, so don't expect me to be very active. <_<

Requests are coming along quite slowly, and is probably one of the reasons why I haven't been making very many emotes. I procrastinate way too much.

Anyways, as I said, i'll be off for a bit. Probably gaming, cause I'm injured right now.

On a side note, I've been playing Infamous trying to get the remaining blast shards: i've got 16 left of the 350 blast shards. Hopefully I get it done before the holidays end. D:

I've only been wondering about it... but I'm thinking of making a new account. I feel the need to, but I kinda don't want to either. I joined here 2 years for I was actually allowed to even make an account on this site. I somehow, feel obliged to make another one to make up for that mistake, just as =de-Mote did.

The second reason is the fact I've used part of my name in my username. I don't think anyone I know could find me on dA, XD but I have had some people find me. I wouldn't really like to tell people that I'm really good at making emotes. They'll probably just look at me like I'm a retard. <_< I'm known at my school for having some great drawing skills, so showing them my emotes is just silly. x3

What is stopping is:

1. I can't delete this account. And forever will it remain on dA. Just as my previous account, one which I will not name, that I had even before the creation of this account. Of course, that one got banned. And in that account I used my freakin full name. I hate it. I really wish there was a way to get rid of that account. But freakin dA won't let me delete it. And that really pisses me off.

2. I don't really want to start over. I've already gained a little of reputation.


Anyways, the chances of me making a new account is, like, 0.1%.
Why can't dA just delete the accounts that are banned? My full name remains on dA, and is as embarassing as hell if anyone finds out. If I could just delete my old account, I won't delete this one.

Could someone please tell me if it's possible to delete an account?

Actually, there are 2 winners. I didn't know that was possible, but anyways...

Congratulations to =BurgerBunny - [link] and =Romaji - [link]

Damn... now I have to do 2 avatar requests.

Thanks to everyone who participated, and managed to give me more pageviews in the provess.

Well, from this very moment I am now... 861 views from the 40,000 mark. Not much, considering how long I've been here, but it's definitely something.

To anyone who catches it, I will give them an avatar request of their choice.

(I doubt anyone will get it though. I'm not that popular.)

Well, it's almost October, only a few months away, and I'll gonna be 3 years old.
Yeah, I kinda did join dA when I was underage... in fact, most of my emotes were made when I was 12. Like :tardfire: and, well, other of my favourite emotes.

I don't like this age year thing on dA. It makes me feel really old, when I'm not. When I was away for a year and then came back, I swear I felt like I missed so much: `darkmoon3636 and `livius were off dA, a few emoticonists and artists I looked up to had gone as well. As well as the fact that more emoticonists, even legends, had formed without me even knowing. I'm paticurlarly talking about the twins. :iconcreepystare:

Don't worry about that though. I'm completely fine. XD

What I'm trying to get at now, but failing, is that I'm really not 3 years old. I'm 2. I've skipped a year, pretty much.

Anyways, I'm fine and I'm better from my flu, if anyone cares.

Hopefully I can't be banned now from underage account since I'm now old enough.

Ohnoes, I seem to have the case of swine flu.

Or just a random flu.

To anyone who is willing to make me an ID of my OC, I will, in return, make an emote request of your desire.
My present dA page is boring me.

'Bout time I updated this journal.

I've got a lot of work from school, paticularly in maths, which I'm never gonna do since the questions are too hard, and science, so activity will drop a little this and maybe the next few weeks. I'm also a little blank for ideas at the moment, and I really feel like doing something pixel-arty, but not animationy. If that makes sense.

I've made a new plz as well.

Is it me, or has activity today in the emoticon community been off for 24 hours? My deviation watch page has stayed pretty much the same for the last 12 hours. I mean, it's been on 3012 deviations for the last few hours.

π_π

Now to finish that freakin emote I've been making. Might turn out like a polished piece of turd. D:<

And on another note, towards the emoticon community:

Stop with the emotes with the backgrounds? I mean, would you ever use them on msn?
Of course, if you want to. It's a great way to improve pixelling skills.


ANYWAYS.

Which is a good thing though. In ways.

I'll be down south in an area of pretty much no internet, surfing for the next 7 days. Just though I'd let you know before you start wondering where I am.

I'm a bit disappointed of the emote I've been working on though; it's taking a little longer than I thought, and I really wanted to submit it before I went away. Guess that won't be possible now.

I guess explosions are just take too much time.

Yeah, nothing's new. I'm still here. Just thought a new journal could replace the 2 week old journal.

An emote is coming, just a little tough. (infamous based)

I dunno, it's just occurred to me I'm almost 3 dA years.
I don't really feel my emotes have improved much either, including my notoriety. I'm too old school.

I've thought about making another account, but it seems way too irrational. Maybe a change in style might help, but overall my emotes need improving.
Anyways, I may not submit any emotes for awhile, or at least any decent ones. I'm preparing for bigger one, but I'm not sure how long it'll take.

I'll still be here though. :>

I hate myself.

The emote I was working on... a magnificent pixel-art piece...
was lost on my computer.

Thanks, Imageready.

How can something so simple be so addicting?

If you haven't already got an account, click on this link. [link]
It benefits you and me as well.

A good topic to get rid of the previous journal.

Watch and decide. [link]

Involving terminal cancer and sick kids, admittingly, is a bit sick.

But I have to say, a lot of people have taken this completely the wrong way. Paticularly in Australia, thanks to stupid news channels ad programs, people have been outraged by this.

I'm only 14, but I know better that it was not the point they were trying to get across. Sure, it may have intentionally showed the greediness of terminally sick kids with cancer, which was low and stupid. But it was also aimed at the leading charity, Make A Wish Foundation. The amount of money they earn and recieve is incredible, being able to get so many kids to Disneyland and to their favourite celebrities. In fact, they probably earn hundreds of thousands to millions a year, significant amounts of money.

Of course, the money isn't wasted, but it could be used a lot better. There are thousands of kids being killed by the wars and civil unrest in the Middle-east, and millions of kids and families dying in Africa.
The last phrase that the Chasers used in the segment, "... when the only going to die anyway." was the killer. I was horrified by this.
Until I thought about it. Makes a lot of sense if you ask me.
Just stuffs everything we take for granted in Australia in their faces.

I'm not saying that we shouldn't make these wishes come true by not donating to these donations. It's just the proportions of the amount.
It'd be much better actually donating it to the Cancer Foundation. So they're some justice for the people who are trying to cure cancer. As well as the World Vision for poor countries all over the world.

Cancer's never a good thing. Bad things will happen, things will die from it. I have a friend who's presently in an isolation bubble from cancer, survival rates pretty low, so this isn't an irrational argument. :<
Fix the things that are possible, I think.

(rant end! )

It's back and more politcally correct than ever!

Watch all parts here: [link]

Select first video at the top:

Season 3

Seriously. It's freakin hilarious and better than ever.
You might not get if you're not Australian, but I hope you've heard about the 'Chic Chic Boom' saying recently from the stupid-ass bogan women from Australia. And especially the Billy Connolly guy.


Just watch it. It's too memorable to not. Maybe you can get a few ideas out of it.

That's right!

This week is pretty much test week for me... 2 tests today and two tomorrow. It is a bad thing, but after that Yr 9 camp is on for the next 5 weeks. Since I'm not going cause of my knee, I just go to school as normal but without the hassle of tests!

Still, I have an essay and an insanely difficult English test...

Be back soon anyways.

Guess what.
In the last two days, a friend of mine who does Graphic design in my year showed me to Scratch, a game making program that's for people like me who don't have flash or just suck at it. Look pretty shit at first.
But than my friend curiousity came along and proved me wrong.
In my free time I've somehow made a game. Completely designed by me, as you can tell.

Unfortunately, I can't submit it on DA cause of it's format. You can't even save it as a swf.
So I'll just give the link of it.

Here it is: [link]

Not that flashy or great, but it's kind of nice to know I have a little bit of game-making in me.

Emotes come soon.

I've done something so horrible. D:







Sorry, I just had to grab your attention.
Just seeing if it worked or not.


Well, anyways, just thought it was about time to get rid of my almost 2 week old journal and update. I haven't been too active lately because I thought homework wasn't going to be a problem, but now it has. I have to get full marks for my next Maths test to stay in Top Set, which is pretty annoying. Plus a Geography project, which I procrastinated too much on.
But the main reason is a lack of fun recently. Seriously, I have done absolutely nothing in the past few weeks because of an injury in my knee (Osteo chrongitas desicans or something, look it up).
You know how when you get bored, you want to do nothing at all unless it's superultraawesomelycoolmega fun? I lacked so much fun that that happened. And then I feel like I have imsomnia and want to sleep all day.

I'll try to be more active anyhow.
