I think it would be best to make a list of WIPs in my journal now. Because it would give watchers an insight of what will be coming up in my gallery latter on. So here it is.
-----------------------------------
November Works in progress:

1) Ismaire (Sketched)
2) Hold True (Sketched)
3) Determination (Sketched)
4) Rain Mikamo(Request) (Sketched)
5) Princess of Cerinia(Trade) (Sketched)
6) Kate and Krystal Cosplay (Sketched)
7) Compass Rose Tattoo Design(Request) (Brainstorming)

I will update with newer WIPs once I have the Sketches started or the ideas fully thought through and I will update the progress on these once they advance to inked and/or colored.

Thanks for reading come again!

First I'll take about life. School is going OK with my new schedule. People are being more stupid than ever. The usual.

Anyway. I've been hit with a massive wave of inspiration! Expect more submissions like: works in progress, finished stuff...and more!! Wait...what's the more part? *mummers are heard in the distance* Oh...there isn't any more?...but I am going to be more active for the most part! YAY~! Can't you tell that I'm in a good mood?!? WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! *Spins in computer chair*

Well next week is a brand new quarter for school *makes a face looking as if he swallowed something nasty* I'll do better this quarter and the next. Then I'll be done with school. That's when I'll have more time with job searching. Anyway, the day after Christmas is when I'll open commissions if my project goes well, but if not..well I haven't figured that out yet...But I REALLY want to do it, and I've failed with projects one too many to fail this time. I'm working on several pictures at the moment, and are looking quite well so far. But I'm soooo busy every weekend to where I either don't have enough time before and after DND or am too exhausted from running around and completing tasks from my volunteer job...hah...I'll just cancel for this weekend.....I need a weekend to myself....*tear* Soon today I'll ride back to school for Anime club and enjoy it. I haven't been to it yet this year. Speaking of which, I'm now a fan of PhD. OMG it's a good manga. I have been reading vol.1 over and over and I still laugh at all the comedy that's packed into this little book! You should go read it, it's amazing!! ... *sigh* well thanks for reading.

Well, I have made changes to my school schedule for second semester, but I won't be able to explain it for it is somewhat hard to explain. I need to catch up and put done dedication to this priority first, I apologize again if I haven't been fair to any of you (Trades). My career in getting a proper education in English has been screwed up since day one, and I REALLY want to go to college. I'll still draw regularly, but not during school when I'm not supposed to. As fa as being on DA and FA I'll have to distance myself away so I can focus on what is more important here: my future. again and I know I'm being rather redundant, I apologize.

I'll be gone for a while. I simply don't have time for the computer anymore.

Thanks for reading.

Well, Some thoughts came to mind about some of my characters: Florina, Coy, and Amy. Florina is a real complicated piece of work; her physical features (armor scales and wing color) Have gotten hard to remember, and I've drawn her only a few times since her creation....I guess I need to give Kate some space

Kate: "Yes you do...you've been getting too clingy!" >_<

So, I've made some plans for her like: taking away the gray armor spikes and adding in armor scales, switching wing colors, etc. And with Coy I'm thinking of making her eyes with irises, since I've noticed fish not having the pupil take over the entire eye. As for Amy, I'm tweaking her hair style a bit.

So there's my update for today. Thanks for reading!

Well, fall has arrived early here in Ohio, and that means many places will be hiring for the upcoming holidays a head. Most of this month I'll be catching up on school work and hunting for a job. Hunting for such a job will be difficult ever since the GM plant in my home city has shut down as well as many small businesses near the rail roads. I'll be focusing on restaurants and stores. My dad as suggested to me, since I looooove working with animals and have been volunteering at the local animal adoption clinic, that maybe some veterinary clinics may be hiring, so I'll look into it. I wanted to get a job before September, but I failed to do so. I had plans for my mom's and dad's birthdays. I was going to get something special for them...but I guess I'll have to move that to Christmas. Along with this, I want to save up for college, so I'll have to work harder on finding a job. Heh...just talking about this reminds me somehow of that one Spongebob Episode...

Along with my long term plans I'd like to start on another hobby and break away from an old one that I seem to dislike now. Magic the Gathering is great in terms of the art content that is featured on the cards...but most of the people I play with are sooo obsessed in a way they make up their own rules... So I'm moving to Warhammer 40k. This is the game for me. Not only I get to fight with an army of miniatures, but I get to incorporate my art skills into painting them!! But, THEY'RE FREAKING EXPENCIVE!!! Although, they way I see it now; I may have spent more money on MtG than I ever will with Warhammer, since my cards have accumulated over the years. *cougheightyearscough* Now, I'd consider this an art project because of the painting aspect. Being the perfectionist that I am I'd like to sketch out these miniatures and color in a desirable experimental color scheme first. This will be a challenge, since the first race I've chosen to start out with is so detailed it's not even funny. Eldar are going to be a bitch to paint. Not to mention, a lot of the people I'll be playing against are going to hate me . Not because of my painting skills (which currently suck) but I hear that the Eldar are annoying and cheap as hell...My kind of race!

Anyway.. This month along with my job search I will start on trades that I have promised to three people a year ago...I have been having trouble finding a suitable result that I have put it off and I greatly apologize for the extremely long wait. Blocks and such have been needling my brain like acupuncture and not the good kind. I believe now I have a better grip on my art style that I have had all year and I'll take it to my advantage and draw more! Along with that I'd like to remind you all of my Christmas Sketch a Day Gift Giving...thing. I'm going to redo the list by writing down people with a few factors that are kinda hard to explain...

Well I can;t think of anything more to type down so...thanks for reading come again!

Another idea that came into mind that I really want to share. Christmas is three months away, and I've working on a list of artists on deviantart and furaffinity I want to make surprise gifts for. Currently, I have my full list, and my goal is to get started with my gift-giving spree on the 1st. Make it like a 25 days of Christmas sort of thing, but there's something that has been makeing me stumped: Should I actually make it Christmas themed, or just normal pose-and-smile? I'll have to keep thinking about that...but you guys can share your opinion if you want.

I have work to do right now, so I'll get off here. alright, thanks for reading!

1) Post these rules
2) Post 8 true things about yourself
3) At the end you must tag 8 people and post their icons
4) Go to their page and send them a message saying you tagged them
5) NO TAG-BACKS

Ok where do I begin...

1) I'm diagnosed with aspergers syndrome.
2) My last name in a very old origin means "Wolf Stone"
3) I like cute things.
4) I never had my first kiss yet nor have I went on a date with a girl before.
5) I like the smell of Tiger Balm (Icy Hot)
6) I was named after a character from the first Terminator movie (And so was my sister)
7) I love to look at pictures of lovely women in lingerie, posing in a sexy manor.
8) I sometimes role play to myself as my characters, even my female ones. I reenact motions and poses.

Now for the tags.....

NO! It has to stop! That's all everybody! G'night!

So I thought up of something that's better. I'll try and make sketches (and if I could ink and color) a picture of a character I'll make right off the bat every day starting Sep. 1st. I'll start with my original characters first, the ones I've already drawn. I'll be doing this since there have been characters that I've made, but have not drawn. Before I start the drawing I'll do some gesture sketches to warm up, and I'll be doing those daily as well.

Side news..today was my first day of my semi-grad year of high school. I feel so out of place knowing that my class is no where in sight...I don't feel like a 09 grad anymore, even though I am. Indeed lower class men/women have been asking me, "what are you doing here?!?!" I tell them all the same story: Office hold s on diploma blahblahblah brushing up blahblahblah general studies blahblahblah. Well..I really hope this year goes by quickly because I've had enough of that school already! But it's for my own good though...I'll be getting homework everyday and addition to my drawing projest I'll have little time for WoW...YAY!!!

Thanks for reading, come again!

I have work to do...No list, because that seems to jinx me. I will, however, set a dead line for them all... Perhaps mid-month of September. I might post some stuff before hand if I make anything worth posting. I'll keep you guys posted, since I'll make a habit of making a journal entry three times a week now.

Hope this makes some people happy. I won't be playing this game for a while...

Lets talk about today. I got up this morning feeling tired after staying up too late being a nerd. I got on straight onto the computer, skipping breakfast and turning on the game. I played for about a few hours... around four hours at least. That was when I got bored and turned everything off. So I walked around the house feeling a bit lost. A short time after I fed my dog, went down stairs again, popped in a DVD and watched Ratatouille. It is a great movie... So my parents came home: My mom from her doctor's appointment, and dad from work. Now they're off running errands and will be back soon so we could go out to eat.

Now you know what my day has been like, and how most of my days have been, except they consisted of me doing more playing than trying to cope with myself.

Last night when I stopped playing the game at midnight, a strong feeling same over me...that feeling that takes control of you and you do things strangely involuntary. I picked up my sketch book and started sketching right out of the blue, and it didn't come out like most of them would...the anatomy was more accurate!! Once its done, I'll submit it. This time I drew Lyn.

I really don't want to focus my knowledge on video games any more...I want to focus on whats more important..You know what I'm saying? I'm calm and I'm going to make it last. No more stress...at least for a while...

Thanks for reading.

I have found out something about myself that's very strange...I seem to think about doing something else when I have promised to do something...Like...when I promise to do something, I tend to forget about it unintentionally, or distract myself from doing it. Well, now that I have figured this out, it should stop, because I want to fulfill those promises. And in order to do that, I need self-encouragement, which I have very little of. I want to be able to succeed, but in order to do that, I need to prioritize my activities. I have plans for my mom and dad, whose birthdays are coming up in October. I want to show them that I can be somebody: a responsible person, the kind of person I should have been four years ago, the kind of person that should have done better in school...rather than having to brushing by with the lowest grade that can pass. I want to show them that I'm not a failure...I want a life....

I'm not trying to be dramatic here for attention like some people, nor am I getting any "thoughts". I just want to express what I'm feeling to those who will listen...or read.... I'm not a very good verbal communicator so that's why I'm typing.

Right after this journal I'm going to cool my jets a bit...there's something...well, someone I want to get my mind off of...I fear it will take all night.

Thanks for list- I mean..reading, come again.

I think my drawing style is going under...my anatomy is becoming screwy and I'm still very weak at creating proportionate poses...eh... And I try and try but the heads always end up looking bigger than the torso!! I have been trying other methods but they never seem to work. I haven't cracked open my life drawing book yet..wow I just thought of that now?? GOD! Why didn't I think of it before...?

Well...I've done some birthday shopping with the money and gift card I received from friendly neighbors and family, and bought Chrono Trigger for the DS (Best game ever btw), a wow game card, and Wrath of the Litch King. I'm holding that card until I know I can manage my time better. Oh, a slight changes: I'll only do antrho commissions, but I'll practice on human, animal and landscape to broaden my horizon.

I thought that, since I sketch more often than I do ink and color, I can open up sketch commissions. Here would be my prices:

Each commission sketch of a character is 5$, and if you want to add a background and/or an additional character 2$ will be added for each addition. I'll have three slots at a time to start out with.

Does that sound fair? But they're not open yet. I still have 2 trades I need to finish and a paypal account to make.

How was my break you ask? I never really had my "break". Maybe for the first three days, but I was on vacation. I really do need one...I spend a whole lot of time on Starwars Battlefront2... I have to get rid of this game. Its a bit addicting and there are too many glitch whores on multiplayer.

Well I have nothing else to add...Thanks for reading!!

I've decided that the computer is a total distraction. I have been more on the computer than drawing and it has become a bit of an addiction among others that I need to get over. I'll give myself two weeks of no computer period, and during those two weeks I'll bust my ass on a job hunt. I have ideas for gifts for my parent's birthdays and anniversary, and it requires money. I'll be drawing too, and I have not forgotten those trades.

Speaking of which, my birthday/graduation gift from my parents consisted of some text books...that I'm so happy of getting! One is titled: "Character Animation Crash Course" by Eric Goldberg. Who is, perhaps, the best 2d animator in the wooooooooooooooorllld! The instructions in this book are so outstanding! I have learned a lot after reading two pages of it! On top of that I have received a Life Drawing Lesson Book, and "DRAWNtoLIFE" 20 Years of Disney Animation Classes. So basically...I have enough text books to study to get me ready for what I want to do in college! :happydance:

I'll get started with my agenda as of.....now! I hope to see you all again and good luck to you all! (This doesn't mean I'm leaving...I just need a break!)

Among other things...

Today I'm sketching up a storm, and I'll be searching the interwebs for references. I'll get some help installing the printer and scanner so I can print those references to go.

On Tuesday I'll be doing more sketching and inking some of those sketches I've done previously, because I haven't inked anything since my latest Angel Kate picture. Among that, I'll work on those trades that I have promised a few people I'd do...again I'm incredibly sorry for my unreliability, I have been lazy but I'll prove to you that I have not forgotten, and I will not snub you guys!

On Wednesday I'll be going around shopping centers filling out applications for a job, and If I have enough time, I'll sketch some more.

Thursday is my Birthday. So I'll have to celebrate that, and if I have anymore time I'll sketch and ink some more! Maybe even color.

Friday will consist of even more sketching, inking and coloring.

I want to do all this so I can prove that I am responsible. My darn head is still stuck in middle school and I need to get a grip on reality.

Thanks for reading.

But anyway.....

Now that's out of the way I could focus on even more important things. Well first, I'm resting like a bear tomorrow because I've suffered a major headache this morning, and I had to work, and I was planning on working tomorrow but I guess not... I'm still volunteering over at the local animal shelter, I've really learned a lot from it but...I need a paying job. I've been searching a couple places and they're not hiring, but I won't stop there, I'll keep looking and pestering them all 'till I have one. I'll still volunteer over at the other place, I love working there. The people and nice, and I get to work with dogs and cats all day, despite my allergies with the cats. I want to raise money for college and a laptop, since I won't be able to lug my PC and my huge monitor with me where ever I go, lol! I want to customize it so I can work and play games on it. And it has to be blue I loooove the color blue... Maybe I could make a decal or something of the sort and have Kate on the back side part of the screen.....Hmmmmmm.....Heheh. I haven't gotten my driver's license yet...I still have yet to learn how to drive. Even though I have no problem with my bike, i get so nervous behind the wheel (I have test ridden my mom's car a few times) I hope to soon, I just to resort my priorities. I haven't given up on commissions but I'm not doing them yet, I need to get back in my groove. Things have been rather depressing over here. My sister is being very bitchy and cranky a lot, I still mourn over my departed cat whom I've had for nearly 14 years, my dad lectures me over everything I do wrong...Yeah my summer has been gr-ea-t... At least I got to see my friend Sierra, and she cheered me up a bit. Tonight I'm going to relax and try to sleep soundly. I haven't had a decent night's sleep in ages, and I'm 'bout due to have one! ... *Sigh* I'm very thirsty right now. Thanks for reading.

Edit: I forgot to mention about what I did during my last ten minutes of playing WoW. I though I could get all artistic and make some screen shots of the scenery. The three I'll post are from the Alliance Dwarven place: Dun' Morogh. I hope you'll like them.

Edit2: My scanner still won't work. So I'll have my dad help me on that (even though it was he who said to figure it out myself....)

Hey! My final exam for cartooning while i was still in high school was to make a comic out of the topics that were written on slips of paper I had to pull out. I got: Groceries, bellbottom pants, and ponytail. They were perfect! The comic came out great!..Although it was never finished, but I still have it though.

I think its a good way to get into habit. While I draw I'll think up of a personality off the top of my head...that's no biggie. I'll make more characters that way. I'll start thisas soon as I get another sketch book...the one I alredy have has only a couple clean pages left.

Any way...I think I'll get started on my scifi novel, an action and dramatic packed scifi novel! I'll make pictures for it as I go along too, but before I'll do any of that I'll finish three chapters first.

...Well I'm out of things to write, thanks for reading!

Well anyway, I have a question for you watchers but before I get to that I have one thing to mention. I have two amazing ideas for a series of stories, but I have no idea which one to start on first....

Edit: I decided in order to keep my ideas away from unworthy eyes, I should have you guys note me if you want to look at them or not, and promise me you'll won't take my ideas. Ok, thanks.

Why am I so stressed out you ask? Well let me give you a little list here:

1: I'm being bossed around every 5 seconds
2: I'm going everywhere on my bike that I can go to to get a job application and fill it out, and I'm rasping for breath by the time I'm done
3: The backyard vegetable garden needs weeding every so often in very hot and humid weather
4: I'm being dragged around places that I don't want to go to
5: I'm out of ideas for pictures, especially on poses and themes, Hense the reason why I'm loosing my enthusiasm to draw
6: I'm being harassed and yelled at by my 10 year-old sister almost everyday
7: Every time my dad lectures me, he offends me and I'm miserable for the rest of the day
8: My mom is getting more cranky than usual, and when she is cranky, everyone is
9: I have a habit of staying up too late and getting up late with a major headache that I'm trying to break (I blame video games for that...)
10: I have no money
11: I'm mad at myself and life

See what I'm going through? I have been listening to some relaxing orient music and it seems to be helping with my stress...Right now I'm a little bit upset because I missed my 4-hour shift over at the animal shelter I'm volunteering at, and I planned on getting that at 1:00 today but looks like I'm pretty late...So I'll get there around two. *Sigh* Well, once I get back I'll listen to more relaxing orient and practice up a sketch or two before I continue with my trades... Oh that's right, I'm not taking anymore request or trades at the moment (Like anyone wants me to draw for them anymore...) At least until I complete my current ones. I'm having a bunch of unfinished projects that are piling up to the point where I'm getting buried alive. My dad says I should make a list of things I need to do; I tried, it didn't work, I always keep on forgetting that I made a freaking list anyway! ....I'm sad...I want my cat back...

So I'm not getting on for a while until I have at least calmed myself down to where I'm not yelling at everyone. I also have cleared my message, deviation, and note boxes so it wont box so tiresome to figure out whats new and whats not. *Sigh*

Hopefully the kittens over that shelter will help me shed some tears...

Well, anyway. I haven't gotten much time to draw, meaning I haven't touched my trades, or even figured out my commission...thing yet. (Can't you tell I'm exhausted?) I know what you're saying "GO TO BED!It's like 12:00 AM EST where you live at!" I will, I just need to finish my excuse first...

I may be slacking, I may have been lazy, but I swear on Walt Disney's grave that I have not forgotten! I have made a promise to you and I will keep to it. I'm having problems of my own to figure out, and it is obvious its taking a looong time to do it... *yawn* Well I'm off....Sunday I'll do nothing but sit on my @$$ in a very comfy chair with nothing but the clothes on my back...and my sketch book....... *falls over sleeping*

I'm trying as best as I can to sort my trade issue, I have not forgot nor will I ever plan to, and I will work on them. As of now the trades are of top priority as far as artwork projects go, aside from the portfolio i need to plan for college. OH! my birthday is coming up by the way. Its on July 9th, about over a month from now and I'm really excited. I want to throw a party at my house when it comes, but first I need to raise money for it. I just finished an application i got today for a pet supply store near where I live, and I hope with the experience I've gained with that retail store and my current volunteer job at the animal shelter will help me earn a job there. I really need it. I'd thank all my friends and family for their support, if it weren't for you I wouldn't be where I am right now.

Thanks for reading!

I said I'll be opening commissions this summer, but first I need to figure out my prices. Can anyone help me with that? Like, how much do 'you' think my art is worth? I have currently three trades I need to finish, so I'll prioritize those in front of setting up my commission prices.

I can't think of anything else to say...I'm that hyped up.

I hope you guys have a great summer! ^_^

OH OH! Listen to this. I'm considering opening up commissions this summer once I get my computer back for good. Right now, I think I'm good enough, (Although I need more practice with hands and torso) But I'll practice!

Why am I in a cheery mood? It just rained around and the outside air feels fantastic! I hope you enjoy the picture I just posted, I'll be posting more once i get back from my job, until then, fare-thee-well!

Well, here's whats going on in life. I haven't gotten my report card yet, so I'm still very anxious to see whats my grades are, but one of my classes that i'd expect to get an F on turned out to be a D, whoopidie doo fo mi! At least it passed... I'm going to gather all my old Magic:tG cards and maybe give them away to other players at school who will actually use them , instead of just gathering up dust in a case under my bed... selling them or tradeing them won't work, it would take forever and i don't think I'll stand the kicking and screaming on deals. I'm thinking about starting a Warhammer 40k army to play over at the hobby store near where i live and play DnD at. I heard its fun, and I actually watched a couple people play and found it quite interesting, even though its difficult to understand but, I'm a noob of course >_<. I want to start with Eldar first, cause they look kind of cool. i at fist wanted to start off with Tyranids, but one of the people told me they're not easy to start off with. A friend of mine is starting off with Tau Empire, a faction that has high fire power, and wanted to out match his army, so I picked the fast Eldar. I still have to get the codex and write down my army plan on paper first. The one thing that gets me on this is that this miniature game is expensive. The starter regiment costs $90... wow, if its that's expensive it must be very good. I'll give it a shot, but the one fact I'm worried about is the fact I have to paint the miniatures, and I'm not very good with paints, and the Eldar are very detailed, and being OCD I can't stand mistakes...but I'll still give it a shot. HEY! Maybe I'll think of it as an art thing cause there is art involved! ^_^

I have gotten a lot done art wise. I inked & colored a couple pictures this week, and have a couple random practice sketches made. I'll post them on Saturday. I have plans for trades, but my mind is stuck on those... I REALLY want to get them done, but I'm at a loss for the subject/angle/pose. I'll work tonight, and possible get some done... I have one in progress: A sketch I made back in very early January, right now the subject (Excluding the BG) is inked and partially colored, I'm at a loss for some of the colors... I want to start painting with acrylics soon. I'm not very good with paints unless there is a day in which I'm patient, which rarely happens. Also, markers too. I want to practice in all kind of media instead of focusing on just one thing. Please suggest some brands that I should get, I would to start this summer.

Thanks for reading!

Wow, after a few short days I see that my activity messege box grew alot since I posted more, and I will kep scaning once I complete some more art.

On the twenty sixth of Thursday of Februrary, my pet cat named Tex, whom I've had for 14 years, had to be put down. It devestated me that we had to do it, although it was for the best since he was in pain. His kidneys were shutting down, and he couldn't eat, and even if he did, he would throw-up. My sister cried alot that day because she liked Tex alot, and my mom was quite upset since she would see him every time she would come home on her lunch break. I missthe times in which he'll hop on my lap when ever I'm working at my art table. I had to understand that fourteen years is a long time for a cat, and I knew that the time would come...the house seems a little roomy now that hes gone. We burie him (to our surprise the vet actualy let us take him home after...) outside in the backyard under my bedroom window. We even got a headstone with a cute saying (I forgot what it said...)

So...I was completly withdrawn and depressed the restof the week, but I had some times where I was calm and a little cheery for some odd reason...

Anyway. I have a looooong list that I have to do for some people. And traders, I am trying my best to find time to work on my part of the trades. School and my new volunteer job will take up most of my time now for some time....time.... I still practice with poses and anatomy and clothes when i get the chance. Also I' trying to save money for another sketchbook with bright white paper. Right now I have sketch paper thats a little pale, and I also would like to save up for markers and new color pencils (Prismacolor O_O) I am volunteering for a job because it looks REALY good on a resume.

Well thats my update thanks for reading come again!

Its probably take me a couple hours to scan everything, I'll try to get done as fast as I can!

Edit: Sorry that I was unable to post anything on monday, parants wanted to kick me off so they could watch Nascar... They even asked me how long does itt ake you to put up a picture, I paused and told them the process but they didn't care.... So today I'm using my library time to post them. Hope you like 'em!

Edit2: Today was great! I posted some stuff and that realy got some stress off my chest, but I stil have several more to post, I'll come back to the library on saturday! Right now I'm gettin a headache and want to go home and rest... whew....

Edit3*: I'll be post a little bit everyday this week to build it up slowly, instead of spending alot of time at the comp. And plus, I haven't been reading much, and I need to. Just giving you a heads up.

I'm doing great at the moment, I'm going to ink a trade and a request and start on another request tonight. I'm still haveing trouble trying to figure out the scene for a trade, but it'll come together eventually.. :/ Lemme list to see what I have to do for some people:

Trades: Atticus Kotch
Heartagramfox777
Shiroiwolf
YunaUchiha
AmiralAesir

Requests: A friend at school.
IkoRane

If any of the pople who I have trades with, please note I do not have access to a scanner atm, and I had and still do have graduation and employment issues to deal with. I will get them done, scan them when I convince my parents to hook up the scanner to my mom's computer which I have limited access on and don't get on freely, and post them. This weekend I will make a stack of pictures I haven't scanned and want to scan. I hope to get the scanner access before the end of thi month, if not....then so help me I'll slap myself in the face.

The time hwne I'll be on regularly would be this summer, although I'll have a job till then but I will update at least twice every week durring the summer.

Thanks for reading.

I'm feeling pretty angry right now, just recently I participated in a Magic the Gathering tournament that , I think, was a 2 hours waste of my life... Some bitch (excuse the language) beleaves she can arange her deck to how ever she wants....and not shuffle, she she only alows it to be cut.... And her and a few other cheats say that the rules say the you don't have to shuffle, BULL SHIT!!!!!!!!! , in any card game in general you have to shuffle the deck before play! For any of you who reads this and know how to play the game, do you think this person is crazy, or is she right? I think she's wrong but everyone else beleives her...

Anyway...in other news, I might not graduate this year, and that bumms me out so much... I would like to come back to high school...but only as a graduade seeking more education. Although, admitingly, I didn't do much of the work or pay attaention now and then, but no one , not even people who are part of the special ed program helped me enough, infact they screwed me over, and to top it off, they want to end my IEP...I NEED my IEP, because if I don't I'm lost and I won't succeed in my education...

I'm typing this all out just to let out some steem, stress has been sweeling within me like a zit on my left cheek. Although i do feel glad, I inked and colored three ut of the four of my new costume designs for Kate, Lyn, and Flo and new a character into. So far I have the costume designs done. I'm still stuck on trades... and I apologise. I hope, that if we get the new scanner, that I will be able to scan my new pictures onto a file I would keep on my flash drive, and submit at home (I have a limited account on my mom's computer) or at the library, but I'd have to convince them though...well wish me luck!

Now that the anger is gone i am feel pretty neautral...

Thanks for reading, come again!

I panicked with the first portion where I had to match up vocab....good thing there was a word bank or I would have been completely lost ^_^; The second portion was easy, I had to give examples of: character placement, and the three kinds of speech balloons we learned. The third portion was the most fun. I had to draw three random words out of a box, and I have to include the word by putting it in the scenery, theme or have it being spoken. I did all three ! The words I picked were: Groceries, ponytail, and bell bottoms (Technically that two words but...)... They were perfect! Right away I thought up of a story and started on my first comic of my first series!!! Anthro House! (If there's something wrong with the name lemme know...)

Other stuff-wise besides school have been getting along great, but the trades are still going slow...I made a couple new characters during the past few months: A maniacal witch cat and a crazy rogue squirrel. Both are in the world of Nashaara along with Kate, Lyn and Flo. Speaking of which, I have a bunch of sketch book assignments that I'd love to scan, but I'll have to wait because the scanner is not installed on my comp. yet (It had to be memory whipped because of a virus) Also I made new costumes for my original three, and I have a few more pictures of Amy that are ready to be put up

I hope the next semester will be better than the last...I think I am going to fail in at least one of my classes...if that happens I won't graduate. I learned one of life's lessons, "Those who procrastinate are lost". And I'm trying to learn, "If you don't like something, don't look at it".

I will get those trades done. Sorry if I'm being such a doof and making you guys wait so long...

So far I'm ok, although feeling a little down about nothing important anyway...

I've mentioned before that I'm considering opening commissions...although I think that I should put another year under my belt before I can get hired to draw something for someone... And I need to be more responsible...I haven't been responsible lately with school and stuff...

I've been slacking art wise too... I haven't started or finished anything in about a week, since I've had head aches every now and then, and I felt so down too...

Well I hope to update my gallery sooner or later...I hope... *Sigh*

I have been trying to get a job for the last couple months, and havent gone anywhere with the "jobcoaching" service I have been getting. I have been filling out aplications left from right and I got so dizzy I forgot half the places where I applied to! I have not gotten any calls, and people from school tell me I need "work experience". I'vetold them many times: I helped one of my dad's co-workers to assemble PCs for a Lynux Cluster; I helped my grandparents on their vegetble stand at their town market; I had another job coach monitered me when I worked at a Gabriel Brothers for tw weeks. And each of those tasks I got paid for and learned how a workspace feels! Although I was kind-of reluctant to assemble macines and go to the GB at first, but I did it...and they say that voluneiring looks good on a resume, and I don't blame them.

I bet my ranting and complaining is pissing you guys off a bit, so I'll continue on with good news..

I CAN PAINT IN W A T E R C O L O R !!!!

And after YEARS of sucking at paining, I got a decent set of water color paints (that come in tubes, and I also have pencils) that I fiddled with on saturday with paper I got for water color painting. I wish to scan it and post as soon as possible along with my comics that I made for school.

I have one last request from ya, a question if you will.... Should I, when I get back with a BIG IF, open commisions? Like, am I good enough to accualy get paid to draw/paint for people? I need my watcher's imput. You might think, with my status of my gallery here that hasn't been updated for a couple months, that I might not, but you guys have not seen what I made durring my groundage. Anyway, I would like your opinion.

OH! Merry Christmas! And thanks for reading.

So here i am at the library AGAIN after a couple more weeks of drama, more distractions (Darn DS/Game Cube), and Surgery. I'm suprised I haven't even snaped yet.

I have goten hardly anything done for my cartooning class, even trades! And I appologise for my lack of priority. Its hard for someone with autism of my level to concentrate when their mind is racing and thinking about things they dont like, are scared of, and are dead worried about. *Takes a deep breath* But typeing a journal entry out is what makes me feel better.

I do miss my computer...For the past couple days I have been itching to play WoW again... Also I might be able to get some friends to play, and we can make a guild! I'm have to be GM since I have a high lvl character... Those same freinds, I have been hanging out with at the hobby shop i live near by, and I have played DnD for a weekend, and are going to play again tomorrow. No i'm not going to freak out if my character dies like some othe robsessed people...Its just like Diablo 2 on Hardcore mode, execpt with lots of dice and laughs.

On Wendsday, three days ago, was when I had surgery on my wisdom teeth, and I did not enjoy it one bit. (I bet some of you older folks would feel my pain) Doctor said it will be weeks till the holes fill up and heal, and I'll have to brush my teech 4 times a day (At least thats what happened yesterday)

I'll try to get back on my feet and be active... No, I "will" be active...

I won't be able to browze my Dev. watch 'cause the library comps here arn't that good, the darn page won't even load!

But what gets me would be the hassle of putting everything back on program wise....ah darn.If my midterms are ok, I might get back full privlage, but if not, the groundage lasts 'till the end of the 2nd school quarter...

I'm trying hard to start on more trades, but I have been too distracted with other things. And I'm sorry for makeing you guys wait...school has been the main issue with me right now and I'm doing my best to figure everything out. I hope to get back when midterms come.

I have to appologise, I am slow moving, its part of my autism I can't control (amung other things...). Another benefactor to my slow moving progress is that I'm a bit depressed over the possibily from losing a freind. I was a little carless with my actions... And emotions like this last for a loooong time...
I have some other drawings that I'm trying to finish that were sketched a couple months ago...I hope to finish them before it is too late, since my style might tweek itself when the year ends. And they are too good to be left incomplete. ALSO I wish to make a progrssional picture, depicting my progress over the last year and a half. My old watchers, are you familiar to the "Clak of the Stars" Sketch i made eailier this year? it shows kats laying down with her left arm reaching out and crying. I made a remake of that picture, and will post a copy of them side by side to give a bit of a "time contrast" between the two.
I have been thinking of organizing a contest. I have thaught of this for a while but I wasn't sure I'd get enough contestants...

My time is short here at the libray, since my computer is still out of commision.

I'm losing all inspiration to draw all of a sudden, but that does not mean I'm suddenly calling off my trades, no no, I'll get 'em done, I need some time to cool off and get over a "porn withdraw" so I call it...nothing to worry about! *coughdamnfutanaricrapgotmeconfusedcough*

I'm currently with 5 active trades at the moment...how 'bout that?! Sorry 'bout my change of typing style... I'm just bored out of my mind! And with this inspiration loss, eventually it will come back but, I don't know when I'll get them done, and with being a senior at school, trying to get a driver's license, and a job! I don't know if I find the time and especially the energy, since I've been putting a lot of it into my Pokemon Pearl game...GOD that game is addicting! I'll try...no...like what Yoda said: "You do or do not...there is no try" I WILL get those trades done, I'll need more patience... *Gets into thinking position"

Thanks for reading, come again!

PS: OH! I have been thinking about submitting old works That I did during the early part of this year. I'll have to gather them up...my Old Works archive is such a mess...

And I have some picture that I made last month and early this month that I hope to ink and color before it's too late... These look too good to leave unfinished.

And I'll regularly sketch from time to time since I have not done much of that either. The worst part is, I have been spending school time sketching rather than doing school work, so I am having the mind to leave nearly every art supply at home, aside from what I need for my Cartooning class. Now you know why, ~Atticus-Kotch and ~Heartagramfox777, I have been incredibly slow with my parts of the trades. I have the ideas, I just need to start drawing. I'm still open to trades and requests; I can draw anthros and humans; I'd rather draw females rather than guys (Because I suck at drawing them).

I know, I seem rather redundant with these journal entries...

I've gotten behind in a few of my classes so I'll have to make up tome to get the stuff I need to get done. The poster I mentioned earlier I have started but didn't finish...even though it was due yesterday, the teacher actually gave us until the sketchbook due date (Oct 16th)to get it done. So I'm leaving the poster at home to finish while in class we start on drawing out original characters in four poses to start off before we get to the more "involved" stuff, like real comic making.

For the people that I currently have trades with...please be patient with my part of the trade, from what you can see whats going on over at my end I have not been able to find time though, BUT I do have a "Status of Completion" that I will list.

#1: == I have the idea, I just need to start drawing.

#2: == I still need to find a character of yours to draw.

YAY!!! Its almost my favorite season of the year! I love the cold! I hope it snows in ohio!

Off topic...well also my art has been on the fritz. I just don't have much inspiration to draw sexy female anthros as i used to...I still love them but I sometimes get completely lost with poses and the anatomy doesn't turn out well... Strange enough I seem to have gotten a stronger interest in one of my other characters, Amy [link] , when i made my art folder, I gave her a new outfit and everything...and after that i drew her again and wow...did it turn out so good! (I have gotten better at human faces...and yet my anthro faces are starting to suck)

I think I need to use my brain more, so I'm going to read my copy of Brisingr and play brain age and start going to the chess club....and solve puzzles to exercise my brain. I also need to relax...to rest and such. I have talked to this one old man in my Pokemon pearl game in the church at Hearthome city she says "The art of crafting things fatigues ones spirit, but when that spirit is replenished the urge to craft things returns. It's a wondrous cycle." And that my friends is so horribly true, I think I need some time to rest...ZZZZZZzzzzzzZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.........

Well, last week the remnants of hurricane Ike blew over ohio, knocking out power in 84 out of the 88 counties. It all happened on Sunday when I was trying to get my cartooning folder cover done when BOOM I heard the transformer blew. I had to sleep in the dark....although luckily we had oil lamps to shine light before we went to bed.

Here's an interesting tale. There is a Wall-Mart that's near the highway outside of town that COULD HAVE put on their generators when the power went out....but they thought it would cost them too much money so they threw all their food away....how stupid. While the Meijer down the street was booming with business, the Wall-Mart and the Kroger's had to throw away all their food.

Unfortunately though, I went into a big of depression and could not get out of it until yesterday. I learned some lessons of natures secrets thanks to talking with my mom...now I'm completely fine! But I haven't been drawing much...but I hope to though.

I have started i think on either Monday or Tuesday on the Halloween poster project. Once I get it done, it will be displayed and judged for a contest! I wonder what the prize will be...Everyone in my cartooning class as well as some of the other art classes will participate. Once I have it done, I'll try and find it on display and take a picture of it. But I have amy fears though...that if its displayed with out being protected, I'm afraid that someone that either hates me or just is plain stupid will tamper with it and mess it up...I'm going to ask how they will be displayed...

I'll describe my folder cover. The assignment was that you would have to spell out your name in any creative way possible that's appropriate (Of course) I saw that some people had there names spelled out in text, but I had my CHARACTERS spell out my name ^_^ Kate is "K", Lyn is "Y", Florina is "L", and Amy is "E". And that we had to write out the alphabet on the top and bottom border. Its still not finished though, I have to erase any pencil lines..

Well my time has been cut short so I'll edit this later for the list of clubs that I'm in and the trades/requests.

Cya!

What we have to do is make one panel comics with 1 inch gutter space, inked/outlined with black sharpie and colored. Although we have been given some specific topics on what to draw, but we can use original characters, NOT characters that already exist in the cartoon world already. I finished my first one, and wow is it good! the due date for the comics is Oct 16th, so I'll upload them all at that time. Also we have to design a cover for our folder that we would put our stuff in, heheh I hope to get it done by Friday (That's the due date) I'd bet it would turn out very good... ALSO the teacher has been talking about Halloween poster designs...I already thought up of one, and will start on it as soon as I finish my folder design, which will feature all my lovely girls ^_^ Kate looks beautiful than ever in this one...*sigh* Kate...

Anyway, my time is cut short here, I only snuck on to type this out just to tell ya I'm ok. I'm alive, kicking, and loving Kate more than ever ^//^ When i get permision to get back on, I'll submit more photography.

Later!

1: To try and stop an addiction that's messing with me (Porn)

2: I spend WAAAAAY too much time on the computer and need to spend more time on priorities. (I hardly ever eat, bathe, or sleep enough)

3: I need a job... (I need money to help with school and retirement)

4: The computer just plain distracts me (Gaming)

And as for number one I'd bet you're all worried, and I'd be too, cause this is affecting me in a way I'm having some thoughts about Kate...Rest assured I'm getting help. And I hope to recover...

Also my parents have limited my time to 1 hour max of computer time per day, and it doesn't matter what I do on the comp I have one hour, and It will give me a chance to heal up some wounds that I have inflicted upon myself, both mentally and physically. And no I'm not emo, I have some unhealthy habits involving being on the computer way too much...*cough*like6hoursaday*cough*. And it has affected my drawing habits too, but i hope to get where I'm supposed to be .. soon...

(Suddenly an Idea comes to mind)

Hmmm...I could take screen shots of my character as reference so I could draw her and her pet wolf. I could do that...Yeah! But my human and wolf anatomy sucks...

I have a sketch in my book that i started last week, and i think i waited too long because its incomplete. I hope i get the mind and the guts to finish it.
One of my friends told me that Poke'mon are really fun to draw, and I might consider drawing my favorites, and i know a thing or two about dragon anatomy but my bird anatomy is a little shaky.

Anyone play Mariocart for DS? You can put in my friend code if you send me a note if you want to add me.

I've been really envious of other people my age here on DA. They draw and color really well digitally (Traditional makes my jealous, but digital really makes me envious) and they get money and lots of recognition out of it. I've been thinking over it and came to see that they actually have done something. And I should set that as an example and do that just what they did. I see now that I haven't been really dedicating myself to my talents, and I should put other things aside like WoW to achieve what I want to achieve. But what kind-of saddens me is that people over here think I have more of a talent for photography than drawing. Also they seem to look down towards my characters which really makes me feel sad, but most of them were adults that looked down, only very few fellow students hated what I drew

I don't even have a job yet! But i have a counselor to help me with that. I have filled a few applications, and at one place i was supposed to call back like a week ago uhoh I really forgot didn't I? ... Better late then never. I do hope to get a job, cause I will have more time to do stuff since my school days have been cut, cine I have fewer classes this year. Specking of which I FINALLY got that cartooning class i wanted, and its really fun. BUT, I didn't get drawing and painting (AKA Art2), BUT I got culinary techniques (Cooking is also an art), and Photography 3. There's a class I hope to drop, cause it was supposed to be the plan 2 if I failed health class last year, which i didn't. So I hope to drop that, and see if there are any openings still in Art2 or sculpting. Ahhhh senior year, it feels so strange on my last of grade school.

I've been shaken up by a lot of things, and I'm trying to calm down.

Art blocks suck, and my creative spirit is slowing replenishing....

I'm sorry for the lack of new stuff... I'll get to it eventually... Just hope my emotions don't get in front of me.

I just feel worthless right now

And on top with that I have had some issues going with myself that I can't explain openly to people I haven't met in real life (No offense I'm just that precocious). Lets just say I haven't been all myself lately. And I'd rather talk about it with my parents, 'cause they are the ones that have my full trust. Maybe I should start writing a journal...
But on the bright side, while I was up there my aunt gave me 9 yes 9 DS games....unopened too. A nearly all of them, however, I didn't really want...except one. Its called Scurge Hive. Its a very interesting game..too hard to explain what its about so look it up. So from that pile me and my sis each picked one, and I'm going to sell the rest...get me some pretty coin 'eh?
Today was great though, I got to spend some time with mom, helping her out with stuff. And I got to make a couple sketches today in my little sketch book that I hope to ink and color. But those issues I'm having are preventing me from successfully make a picture of a pretty girl...*takes out picture of Kate* Ahhhh Kate.....
I'll update my gallery sometime this week with the photos I promised last week and some pictures I have found in my folder that I never managed to put up, and those new sketches I've mentioned.

Although I'm still trying to get inspired to draw something, I'm still at a fix and am trying to get out of that art block. On top of that I'm having issues with myself at the moment, but nothing for all of you to worry about, I'm working on that. Music, however, is working to help me get out of this hole, I'm listening to the music I listened to last year when I really got started with my art. Hopefully that will spark some inspiration.

I'll post the photos later in the evening when I finish painting the house's shutters, I'm getting paid for it too O:. When they do come, hope 'yall enjoy them.

And school is almost here! ... At least I think... I hear that around here school opens back up in two weeks, boy the summer gets soooo fun that time flies soooo fast... My summer was really hectic anyway.

Edit: Looks like I won't post them up tonight, I have been working around the house all day and now I'm tired...I'll get them up tomorrow

Edit2: Again sorry for another delay, the day has just been sooo busy that I haven't had time to get on the computer at all, I hope to have them us as soon as I can, hope tomorrow will not be as much busy.

I need to get out more...

But I'm glad though, because there are some days I get to go out and hang with a friend ^_^ And I thank her for that.

But life at home is just dull by myself... It even got even more dull when my sister left to spend some time with family up in New York (The state not the city) like i did when i was her age. So right now its just me and my mom for little more than a week, then we go up there to pick her up.

I know what can get me out of this frustrating art block....I need requests and trades! Please, if you have any specific ideas or challenges NOTE ME or comment it on this entry >_<

Any who. I WILL draw more and I WILL put them up! For now I'm going by Yoda's philosophy "You do or do not, there is no try"

That will be difficult, cause I haven't had any ideas for pictures, and I'm running out of ideas for poses! Thankfully last week I started on a Hyper Police-Kate crossover that I hope to ink and color soon..hey I'll do that today! *Ah hem*
There have been some pictures that I have started before, but never finished, and never got the mind to notice it till a week to a few months later, and i never get the urge to finish it...have any of you had that problem before? I'm going to avoid that...I'm not going to get any better if I don't draw much now won't I?

I'll take requests and trades, honestly I will. But please be reasonable with the requests..there are some certain things that I don't want to draw, but I doubt you'll want me to

My birthday week went rather busy and left me so tired I could sleep for 2 days straight, not to mention the rest of the time up until now was rather hectic at home, but I have had a good time with a friend of mine ^^ Thanks Iko

I suck at writing journals, thanks for reading anyway, come again!

I was making a special picture for this American holiday...bit it came rather late...nuts....Its still in sketch form...maybe I could have it done after I get home form the Reds Game on Sunday O_o I hope I catch A high fly! Yeah, I kind-of like baseball it was my childhood sport >_< I hope to get some pictures finished by the end of the week....also since Wednesday is my birthday, feel free friends to make gift arts...since this is a big year for me, the big step into adult hood....before 21 that is...

Have you ever heard of the Blue Man Group? I saw this video of a song they did about a few facts about eyes, facts about I never knew. Its called Rods and cones. If you are interested in making animation or make animation already, you must see this.

Hope you enjoy this feature.

I have some pictures in development that I will post as soon as they are finished, by the end of the weekend at the latest.

Tomorrow is my last day with the job coaching (thank goodness) and will get paid next week...WOOT!

If there is a "busy" or "working" mood, that what I'm in right now. ^^

I have a few that I started about a week ago, and they're going no where ( Handsssss..... )
Soo... I'm going to pause doing stuff on my list until I get out of this block....hopefully this doesn't last until the end of the week/beginning of next week. Thats when I get enough money to get a wow gamecard and ohhhhhh, 2 months of play..........

Pardon this journal for it makes no sense..like me.

No, I'm not in a joyful mood...the freaking mood list wouldn't load....

Not to mention a little bit of an art block. Also my last three pictures I submitted were realy old, like late April, early May ( You can tell just by looking at my signature ) That means my style may have changed a bit since then. Also I'm getting in the habit of putting the date on my works now, just to keep record.

I'm going to be starting being job coached next week for two weeks at a dpt. store ( I didn't have a choice to where I could be coached at...real drag *Shikamaru moment* ) And you know what else...I GET PAID FOR IT! I will work for 4 hours a day though, .. so my Net pay will be 240 dollars I think...WoW game card here I come! *cough*

Oh for thoise of you who play World of Warcraft, I play on the Azshera server ( I think thats how you spell it.. )on the alliance side, my character name is Katzorae :3 (Kate's full first name ) Right now I'm a lvl 40 night elf hunter.

Heres my list of what I want to do art wise for the summer:

1: Post some of old works back on DA

2: Finish "Cloak of the Stars"

3: Finish "Return to Sauria"

4: Draw fan arts of Krystal

5: Draw more of Kate :3

6: More fan arts of other artists' characters

7: ( I'll think of a 7 and more when they come to me.. )

Jeez, my list is lame...

Thanks for reading come again!
