My fellow friends and classmates from Susan E. Wagner High School, this is indeed a major WTF.

For those watching me that don't know what I'm freaking out about, Mr. Naseem was my math teacher from high school.
He was(still is) one of the coolest, most awesome teachers ever. He would crack jokes, poke fun at some of the students, and was a huge gamer/comic book/anime fan. He would always come up to me and talk about the newest RPG games out there, lol.
In fact, I think he still owns my first Nintendo DS I asked him to help fix for me...

Hell, I still have a picture of him on my phone [link]

But besides that, hearing about him being almost killed, but his wife nontheless, is crazy. D:
Although, reading that the wife said he ate pork and drank alcohol made me lol, because that IS Naseem.

Hope everything's ok Mr. Naseem!!

School's started for me over a month ago, and this being my last year at the Joe Kubert School, it's going to be the most intense.

So I'll try as best as I can to update as well as post some new work.

As for anyone who has commissioned me, I apologize for them being delayed, but I'm just so busy with school assignments at the moment. I promise I will get them done ASAP when I have the time.

]]> ~Lyss-chan http://Lyss-chan.deviantart.com/journal/26471046/ http://Lyss-chan.deviantart.com/journal/26471046/ Sat, 08 Aug 2009 19:29:12 PDT
I have a whole report of my trip, with plenty of photos to boot. I'll be sure to post it here as soon as I finish uploading the rest of my photos...

In the meantime, I'm still open for commissions until the end of this month, so get them in while you can.

Just drop me a note, or e-mail me at either
tehpastatom@yahoo.com or spectoralyssa@yahoo.com

]]> ~Lyss-chan http://Lyss-chan.deviantart.com/journal/25849855/ http://Lyss-chan.deviantart.com/journal/25849855/ Thu, 09 Jul 2009 22:47:34 PDT

We're going to Spain, Italy, France, Greece, and uhh...some other countries around the Mediterranean I guess? Yay!

But I also wanted to say that I won't have any internet at all during my trip, so any commissions that were requested, I'll try to get as much done as I can before I leave.

Anyone else who commissions me this week, I'm sorry but you'll have to wait until I come back. :<

]]> ~Lyss-chan http://Lyss-chan.deviantart.com/journal/24968693/ http://Lyss-chan.deviantart.com/journal/24968693/ Tue, 26 May 2009 19:54:58 PDT EDIT: Apologies if you see this entry several times, I may need to make corrections.

So, since the school year is over, I thought I'd open up for commissions this summer.

Here's my pricing information:

For Digital:

Character sketch:
Busts: $3 each.
Chibi/SD (full body): $4 each
Full body: $6 each


Ex: (So 2 character busts would be $6, 3 characters $9, etc.)

+Digital inks/lineart $5
+Cel/soft shading $10 (includes inks/lineart)
+Digitally painted $20 (ask if you want with or without lineart)
+Vector art $10-$20 (prices will vary)

For Traditional:

Character sketch:
Busts: $5 each.
Chibi/SD (full body): $6 each
Full body: $7 each
Ex: (2 character busts $10, 3 characters $15, etc.)

+Tight pencils/shading/graphite $12
+Traditional inks/lineart $10
+Colored pencils $25

Backgrounds are 40% extra

So for example:

2 character busts digitally sketched($6) + cel shaded ($10) = $16 + background (40%) = Total $22.40

You can also combine traditional and digital prices.
Like 2 character busts traditionally sketched($10) + traditionally inked ($10) + digitally painted (under lineart) ($20) = Total $40.00

NOTE: Depending on how long it takes me work on these commissions, I may charge extra for how long I work.

NOTE: Commissions will NOT be used for commercial purposes (i.e. using it for cafepress, or items like t-shirts, etc). IF you want to do that, we'll discuss it beforehand.


Some additional information:
- I can do fanart
- I can do original characters
- I will NOT draw anything pornographic. That includes hentai/yaoi/yuri. Find someone else to draw your fap fodder.
-I will NOT draw portraits or caricatures. I mean I probably could, but I'm not that good at it.
-However I can draw some light slash (guy on guy, girl on girl) if it's requested
- I can do other types of commissions as well such as logo design, tattoo design, short comics, etc. For that though, I base my prices on how many hours I work.
-All prices are negotiable.
-Digital art is done in either Photoshop or Illustrator, depending on your request.
-Finished work is usually saved in PNG, but I can save it as JPEG, GIF, etc if requested.
-Traditional art is usually done on smooth bristol and will be mailed.

When sending a note or an email:
-Give me your name and email address
-What characters you'd like to be drawn
-Reference of what the characters look like
Basically, give me a damn good description of what exactly you want. Like what the characters should be doing, how they should be posing, etc.


Payment Info
-I accept paypal.
-Paypal account is MarlSpec@aol.com
-For mailing traditional art, I will charge for postage.

-If you have any questions, want to negotiate prices, or wish to commission me, send me a note, or email me at tehpastatom@yahoo.com or spectoralyssa@yahoo.com

Jeez this year went by fast. It feels like I moved in yesterday and at the same time, it feels like a long time ago.

But alas, school ends in another week. And I've yet to get yearbook sketches from everyone D:


I'm kinda nervous at how my 3rd year will turn out. I mean I know I'll have a lot more work to do than I do now so I know I can't dilly-dally at all. But also because not everyone I know will be with me for my last year ;-;

But I know I can't let anything bring me down so I'm always looking forward to what the future can bring me. Cliche phrase I know, but it's true.

Right now I'm just being pressured to find a summer job D: FFFFF-

Found out that Pixar will be having a screening of the first 50 minutes of their new movie "UP" on Saturday at 6:30. I am SO checking that out.

The stupid schmuck I am, left my jacket on top of my car while I was searching for my car keys.
I then open the door, drive off, and I see something black fly off into the distance and land in the middle of the street.
I thought it was just some garbage bag flying around, until I realized: "Wait, where's my jacket? ...OH SHI-"

I was thinking about turning back around, but there was no place to make a U-turn and I was already in a rush to get someplace.
Somewhere that jacket is probably sticking to some truck's tire now. ;_;

I loved this jacket like woah, it went with everything I wore, and I know it was this exact one because I bought it at Kohl's.

If someone can go into a nearby Kohl's and find this jacket for me and buy it, I swear I'd pay you back the money and love you long time D:
Or ok, you dont have to literally walk into a Kohl's and buy it, but if anyone can find a site that is selling that exact jacket somewhere, I'll still love you long time. ;=;

In other more important news, I've gone through my whole first week of school. I'm slowly getting back into the stressful working habit again. x_x

In the meantime, Lyss is now a sad panda. :<

So during the next couple of weeks, I gotta start moving my stuff in my and Rachel's new apartment.
And HOLY CRAP MY BIRTHDAY IS NEXT WEEK.
I'm turning 19. WTF, I just turned 18 yesterday D:.
I'm such an old lady gaiz.

But yeah, I've been working on some original stuff. I've been revamping some old character designs of mine that I've neglected for awhile now. They need some lovin' too lol. Also I've just been experimenting with my art style as well. Studying proportion, perspective, anatomy, etc. Especially men. I fail at drawing men. I needs to draw zem moar MANRY. But damn stupid sexy male anatomy, with their man hips, and their pecs and their abs and their muscles and....yeah. Pain in the butt to draw.

But yeah, summer's gone on too long, I can't wait to get back to school lol.

God I had so much fun down there, went to the beach, took a tour of Savannah, saw The Dark Knight AND Wall-E which were both awesome movies, hung out with his family, etc. etc.

Ah well, just three more weeks until I officially move back to Dover. I can't wait to get back to school and get my ass working again cuz I've been lazaaay~

After 5 years of neglect, I finally decided to start playing Legend of Zelda: The Windwaker again. God I didn't realize how fun it was. I guess at the age of 14, I was too much fail of a player to realize it.
I last stopped at the temple that rose out of the sea when I collected the three orbs. Now I'm up to the part where I have to find the 8 Triforce maps, yay~ I love me some Zelda~

But yeah, I'll be updating when I can

Anyway, it's official, I'm flying to Tybee Island, Georgia from July 24th to July 29th to visit and his family. Wish me luck guys! XD;
I'm so nervous, I've never gone on a plane by myself before, I'm afraid I'll get lost at the airport lol. Plus staying at anyone's house for a week, I feel awkward. Damn my self-conciousness >[
I am happy that I'll get to see Dave again though :3. God I miss him so much <3

Also, the main english dub cast of Ouran High School Host Club has finally been announced~

Sure, I get to relax, but after awhile it gets BORING!!!

Mostly because I really miss everyone, my teachers, my school friends, Dave...

But most of all, my independence. Granted, my parents allow me to do whatever I want, because I'm over 18, but still. It felt great being on my own for the first time, being responsible for myself, making my own choices. And being back home on Staten Island, living under my parents roof again, its just not the same.

But hey, it's only 3 months. Thats around 13 weeks right? Weeks go by fast, so it's only a matter of time...

I tried to find a job this summer, I sent out like 5 applications, and didnt get any contacts. Boo.

So this summer I'm just going to focus on what I love to do most: Drawing.
...and of course the gazillion birthdays coming up.
Summer= Birthday shopping money sapping time. >_>

I got the keys to the new apartment I rented in Dover today. I'll probably be moving in by the end of August, the week after my birthday.

So technically, just 10 more weeks left for me 0:

When I have time, I'll upload some of my work from school and then some.

Shit.

It feels like only yesterday when I first came here. I still remember the first time I met my roomies, the first time I moved all my stuff up into this dorm.

So much has happened to me over this past year. I made new friends, improved on my art skillz, discovered new anime series, and most of all, I found a special someone of mine.

'But this year has been awesome. I like all my schoolmates, teachers and friends. It's sad that this year had to end so fast.

Its funny, the first time I entered this dorm I was scared shitless of this place because it seemed so creepy. Now I've become so attached to it. So many special memories lie in this place.

Sure it's going to be only 3 months, but its going to feel like forever. I'm going to really miss everyone. My friends, my teachers, and of course, Dave...

Dave you are the sweetest, most wonderful guy ever. Words can't express how I feel when I'm with you.

But alas, enough with the mushyness. I just have two assignments to finish by tonight. Just need to get that done and over with and I'm home free baby >3

So to all my friends and schoolmates at the Kubert School, hope you have a great summer and hope to see you all next year!

LOL IMMA PRITTY GURL *-*

GRAH I love this song <3 *dances*

Anyway, I fell in love with yet another anime series.
Baccano!. I haven't seen the whole series yet, but it's fukkin epic and violent and woooooo~ Mafia gangsters with supernatural abilities during 1930 America? Frickin awesome.
A kid get his head blown clear off, blood and guts flying everywhere, and it just regenerates. ITS AWESOME. Maybe a bit too bloody at times, BUT AWESOME.
Firo <3

So anyway yeah...I haven't updated any arts in awhile. I'm just trying to keep up with my schoolwork at the moment.

Staying up till 2-4 AM every night is not too fun...

"God, why is my art so weeabooish?"

So I deleted a lot of shit that I've done around a couple of years ago. Such as my Otaku Girlz chibis.

Just that title itself.

"OTAKU GIRLZ CHIBIS."

*headdesk*

If I want people to respect me as an artist, I need to continue improving myself as one, such as not drawing in one generic style.

I mean, yes, I like anime. But I don't want to be categorized as "another generic anime artist."

So I'm going to continue working on my anatomy, continue drawing what's around me. So then I can work backwards and find the style that suits me.

Man this year went by so fast though, huh?
I remember like it was only yesterday, two years ago me and my friends played Legacy of Kain making Kain spin in the air like a ballerina. ...Good times.
A year before that, we watched Gackt concert dvds.

This year... we watched a special internet "movie" based on a very well-written Harry Potter fanfic titled "My Immortal."


...ah yes.

I've been off from school since December 14th and I go back on Jan 3rd, so I've just been enjoying the time off. (I SHOULD be doing my homework... *cough*)

Saw the movies I Am Legend and Sweeney Todd. Both awesome movies. :3

Hopefully I'll get to see Enchanted >O

But anyway, Happy Holidays everyone!

*sigh* It's funny, yet embarrassing, looking back at the earliest pieces you've posted in your gallery. I mean, I'm all like "WTF, I drew THAT?! That's horrendous!! Kill it with fire!!"

For reals. I just want to delete at least 75% of my gallery leik woah. ;_; A lot of my old work is either very bland and/or very lifeless, and the anatomy is out of proportion. Not to mention in some pieces, the characters are badly cropped.

(But WTF where the hell is the delete button on this site??) D<

I tried sending some of my old crappy arts into the scraps section, but they still show up in my regular gallery. WRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

But yeah, I guess that's why it's a good thing I'm going to this school. IMO I definitely think I've improved over the last couple of years. I know the basic proportions now, and I now know the techniques on how to make your image really stand out.

All it takes is a lot of practice and proper training. And just to keep on drawing, drawing, drawing!!!
As they say: "If you don't use it, you lose it!"


But in other news, who here is going to the NY Anime Festival this weekend? :3

So I've only got 10 more books to go XD;

Oh and Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is freakin amazing anime.
What? You haven't seen Gurren Lagann? WELL WTF YOU WAITING FOR?? GO WATCH IT NOW! D< 54^&T^T KAMINA ^&^&TGUDFY SIMON UYT^%RYBF VIRAL

Anyway, I know I haven't updated anything in awhile. School's been keeping me busy and I haven't set up my scanner yet.

But not to worry! I SHALL update some stuff soon.

There's this one homework we had to do in Humor & Caricature class where you had to draw, ink and color on illustration board a cartoon as a superhero.
So what did I do?

The Beetlejuice cartoon crossed over with Batman.
Hey what can I say? The Beetlejuice cartoon is probably the only cartoon style I can draw XD. It was either that or Doug. But then I remember Doug was sorta already a superhero. QUAAAAILLLMAAAAAAN. And there was also Pokemon, but Romy had that idea first XD.

So Beetlejuice was Batman, and Lydia was Robin. But then my teacher said I should throw in more that two characters. Oh boy...
So I finally came up with Claire as Poison Ivy and Jacques the skeleton as the Joker. XD I wanted to throw Prince Vince in there but he's too nice and emo to be a badguy.

But yeah, I'll try to post a picture of it when I'm done. Mac Photobooth FTW!

Oh.
And I can't find my copy of Eclipse. ):

Ah well. I'll try to update when I can.

And damn do I need to change my ID...

Oh and one more thing.
SONIC'S IN BRAWL ZOMGFTWEGFYHYCGTDHSOFUCKINHYESSFTWOHSNAP FUCKSYESSHDUWDY!!

Mmkay I'm done.

Hmm...I'm going to have to change my ID sooner or later since I'm 18 now. Plus I'm sick of seeing my face everytime I log in XD

Hmm...maybe I'll jump on the bandwagon and get a pixel ID...

So school's been awesome so far. It's a lot of work at times, but each class has to do with drawing so who can complain? O:

(Well stippling with an inking pen was a bitch and a half...)

So yeah, I've been busy with school and...stuff.

My two roommates are really cool. They're both into anime, manga, video games and j-pop/rock so it's all cool. XD

My roomie Kristen/Romy got this kickass video game called Persona 3. Even though I haven't played it for myself, I've fallen in love with the characters, the story, and the music. XD Plus Vic Mignogna does the voice of one of the characters, SWEEET~

There's two new anime series I've gotten hooked on as of late:
ZOMBIE-LOAN and Gurren-Lagann (VIRAL, F*CK YEAH!)

Seriously guys, I recommend these two series. It's been hard for me to get into any new anime series lately but these are awesome.

But yeah, once I get my scanner/printer set up, I'll scan in some new stuff when I have the time.

And Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney 3: Trials and Tribulations comes out this month! YEAH!! And guess who pre-ordered it? Yeah, you got that right :3

P.S. When I walked into class this morning, "DO U LIEK MUDKIPS?" was written on the chalkboard. GOD I love my school.

EDIT: SWEET JESUS YES!!!
[link]

It's official! Sonic is in Brawl!! SQUEEEE~ *spazzflail*

But I'll get used to it I guess. Just driving on a parkway is a little bit nerve-racking.

I know I haven't updated any art in awhile, but that's because I've been getting ready and everything. But once I start school I'm sure you'll be seeing a whole lot of artwork from me

Oh and I'm finally 18! Yep I turned 18 last week. I'm finally legal!

I seem to find it amusing that Rick Astley has become an internet meme now. From what my mom said, my older sister used to be a huge fan of him. She even imported a ginormous poster of him from England when she was my age, or so she says XD.

I've just been getting ready for school, been drawing in PaintChat and...playing Pokemon.

Yes that's right. I finally gave in and got Pokemon Pearl and it's friggin SWEET!

Though my wi-fi connection is such a whore. I don't get it. It was working perfectly fine one day, I was even battling and chatting with my friend Lydia over the DS, and now I can't connect ever again. When I go to test the connection, it only works if the router was just switched back on after being shut off for a bit. But when I'd go to the trading system in the actual game it wouldn't work anymore.

I always get either error 52000 which says I don't have an IP address even though I have it, or 52100 which says it can't find an access point. I've tried everything, adding 10 to the end of the address, entering it manually, etc. It just won't freakin connect.
If anyone could help me I'd appreciate it. If not I gotta go and just buy a Nintendo Wi-Fi USB cable.

Anyway if anyone is interested my Friend Code is:

Name: Lyss
Code: 1418 4190 1021

If this connection ever works that is. ARGH.

My Maya cosplay is finished, although the black wig I got is kinda...short. It's shoulder-length instead of middle of the back like I needed :/ But it will do.
I may just not put it in a ponytail.
And I've come to the conclusion that I look terrible in bangs XD;

I finally finished my FMA drawing. HOPEFULLY I'll run into Vic Aaron and Maybe Caitlin to get my picture signed. :3 I was gonna draw stuff to give to them but I didn't have the time. >.>

Oooh I hope there's Ouran and Phoenix Wright stuff there :3

See ya!

The ceremony was LOOONG. I thought I was going to collapse from heat exhaustion. I was surpirsed that I was told to be seated in the first row because I was getting an award.
I was like "Huh? Award? For what? o.o"

Turns out I got an award in Overall Achievement in Art
SQUEEEEE!! X3 And ir's a plaque too! I like, never get a plaque! Oh I'm so happy... *cries*

But sitting out in that heat for 3 hours was not fun. It's bad enough that I'm wearing a black dress which absorbs heat, but I'm wearing the graduation gown over it. And my cap kept creeping off my head.
And then after, we had to back into the school, walk through the gym, back up the stairs, through the hall, to the front of the school, only to exit and walk around the whole block just to find my parents who were at the field's entrance. My feet had blisters from the shoes I was wearing. ;_;

But overall, its satisfying to know that I made it this far.

What happens to me from here, only time will tell.


But now, it's time to PARTAY!! 8D

It feels like it was only yesterday when I started my first day of high school.

I dunno why, but the older I get the more nostalgic I seem to get. Youtube's really helped me when it came to reviving my childhood memories of the shows and movies I remember watching when I was a kid. <3

Anyone else get nostalgic time to time?

I'm goin to Otakon in July so that should be fun.
I >MAY< be cosplaying as either Maya Fey or Mia Fey from Phoenix Wright : Ace Attorney

If I get off my lazy ass and find the materials that is >:[

I moved a lot of my old pieces from my gallery today into scraps because I felt they werent as good as how I draw today.
It's funny how when you draw something you think it's the best damn drawing in the world, and two years later when you look back at you're like 'Dayum... that drawing sucks"

I've been more realism and working on my drawing style.
If there's one thing I hate it's when people say, if my drawings are not "realistic" it's "anime".
HELLO. Just because something isn't realistic doesn't mean it's anime style!
And just because something IS anime style, doesn't mean all anime characters look the same.
There are different manga artist with different styles.

If there's one manga artist I really admire, it's the artist of Death Note [link]
Made of awesome <3

And of course there's Hiromu Arakawa [link]
I love her <3

But yeah, people it's called "illustration".
Just because something had big eyes and small noses and big colorful hair (which is the anime stereotype, though not all anime is like that) doesn't mean it's anime.
I mean look at Disney for crying out loud
[link]
[link]

But this isn't a rant post so... XD

Anyway, I've been working on my original stuff as well as several art requests. Be sure to keep watching!

Wow. Just wow.

Definitely a lot better than the second movie.
The second movie had a lot more funny lines in it, but the third movie was a great ending to a great trilogy. Jack Sparrow is <3

I'm not going to give out any spoilers to anyone who hasn't seen it and plans to see it but please:
REMEMBER TO STAY AFTER THE CREDITS FOR A BONUS SCENE.

The stupid ass I am forgot to stay after the credits and I regret it. A lot. D=

But yeah PotC 3. AMAZING <3

As for what else have I been up to? Well don't worry, I'm still drawing. I really need to start doing more of my own stuff than fanart. XD (It's not MY fault Phoenix Wright is an addiction...)

I can't believe I'm actually graduating from high school. I feels like it was only yesterday when I graduated from jr. high. Time really goes by way too fast huh?
DAMN TIME! STOP GOING! *stabs clock*

I feel kinda guilty that I won't be going to my school's prom, but none of my friends are going and I don't have a date. So...oh well. :/

So what have I been up to? Working on my original stuff as well as some requests from [link]

*sigh* I really wish I could've continued my Beetlejuice Doujinshi, but I really don't have the time and patience to sit, sketch out, scan in and color over every page. Plus my story was gonna be a long one, which will probably kill me if I tried to draw everything I thought up.

But I'm sure once I get to the Joe Kubert School I'll be taught on how to get things done on time.
So I'm really sorry for those who have been waiting forever for my next BJ doujin update. ;_;

I'm sure I'll continue it...someday.
Or maybe I'll just write a fanfic *shrug*

Yanno, I noticed the older I get, the more nostalgic I get. Damn I'm scared when I become old...

" WHEN I WAS A YOUNG'UN LIKE YOU I USED TO GO ON THESE THINGS CALLED WEBSITES. THERE WAS THIS ONE SITE NAMED 4CHAN...BUT THAT'S NOT FOR YOUNG EYES TO SEE. OH AND VIDEO GAMES WERE A BIG THING TOO.

REAAAL FAAAAANS OF GENIOUSSSS~

Today we salute YOU, Mr. Anime-Cosplayer Guy!

Yeah, I'm a total dork XD But anyway.

Did I ever mention that my poetry teacher is insane?

Let me break it down for you.

About a month ago my poetry teacher told our class to write down any writer/poet/songwriter you admire/want to be like. So I wrote down Shakespeare for the hell of it.

THEN my teacher says to take the names we wrote down and put them into a hat. As the hat is then passed around the room, we have to pull out a name from the hat. Whoever's name you get, that is your "character".
I got Regina Spektor for my character, which is pretty cool cuz I like her.

Now here comes the fun part.
My teacher wants us to split into groups of 4-5 and write our own original fairytale using our "characters".
So our group's fairytale characters consist of Regina Spektor, John Lennon, John Foxell (a poet from Staten Island) and ....God.
Whoever picked God as a writer they admire/want to be in our class should be smacked with a sharp stick.

But anyway. So, write a fiarytale right? Mmkay that's no prob right?

WRONG.

As well as writing a fairytale, we also have to write a 3-PAGE POEM THAT CONSTANTLY RHYMES.

Okay, poem and fairytale got it.

OH BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE.

We also have to write our own SONG.
A song.
A friggin SONG.
DON'T YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO WRITE A SONG?
There's the composition and who's singing it and how it goes and ...ugh..

But on TOP of all that. Each person in each group has to bring in 10 props based on their character and story.

So besides our stupid fairytale project, our teacher also forces us to write a 20-line poem for our School's Graduation Poetry contest WHICH IS OPTIONAL TO ENTER.

AND, also write a poem for "Poem in Your Pocket Day".

First of all, I'm not creative when it comes to poetry. I enjoy making up stories and my characters and everything, but I'm not so good at actually writing them out. I mean, well, I'm good when it comes to essays, but I guess it just depends on my mood.

But "Poem In Your Pocket" day was today. I am SO glad it's finally done and gone. Because this week was just hell.

Oh but in good news.
I got my car yesterday! YEAAAAH!!!! 8D
It's a 2001 Pontiac Grand Am. I friggin love it. It's easy for me to control, it's not too small or too wide, and the design is pretty sweet too.
But the best part?
It has a CD Player. YESS!!! TEARS OF JOY!!!

And that's my post for today. 8D


.....why am I listening to Rammstein? I don't even like Rammstein D:
Oh well, I like this song for the beat. The singer's voice though annoys me.

...why did I get the feeling the next one was going to be a raccoon?? Or maybe it's a tanuki *shrug*

Anyway, *ahem* Sonic Team. I love you and all but...ENOUGH WITH THE NEW CHARACTERS.

Yeah I mean, I made up my own character but that's just for fun.

This character looks cute and all, but I'm still trying to get used to Blaze and Silver. Now we have mystery raccoon/tanuki girl. :/

Ah well...

In other news
This made me lawl 8D

Take that 4Kids!!

Sore throats suck.

But anyway, I'm not dead yet guys!!

I know some of you are probably pissed that I haven't uploaded the next page of my BJ fancomic.
I've been writing out my ideas for the story in a screenplay format.

I'm also going to try and throw in the plot of the movie as well, but the thing was, I haven't seen the movie in ages and I don't think we have the movie.

But alas! A ray of hope! The movie was on ABC Family last week so I FINALLY was able to see it again after God knows how many years.

Thanks to my friend Bonnie who found out about it in the TV Guide XD

So I can go back and work on my story again! (Hopefully) Yaaaay!

I'm also working on some of my own stuff and some other fanart as well such as another Phoenix Wright picture.
Goddamn do I love that game so.
I dunno why. I just do.

And speaking of which! I made my first sprite music video thingie the other day. It's nothing that special, it was more like a practice thing. Since I'm STILL trying to learn how to use flash, I just edited the sprites and imported them into WMM and added music.

This is what happens when youre a Phoenix Wright fangirl and listen to Shakira

LOL I'm such a dork

Hmm...there's not really any mood icon for just feeling physically sick. Ah well XD

Dude...I was right! O_O
They are coming out with a Sonic Rush Adventure!
I dunno if this should be a good thing or bad thing...

I also heard SEGA is coming out with a NiGHTS sequel 8D
I'd love to get my hand on that, even though I never played the original considering I never had SEGA Saturn


But WEWT more Sonic goodness!!!

Anyway speaking of videogames, I have found a Phoenix/Maya fanart GOLDMINE <33

"The 1st player of this "game" starts with the topic "6 weird habits/things/hates about yourself" and people who get tagged MUST write a journal about their 6 weird habits/things/hates 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..."(Nah, I'm not gonna bother with the last part. Too lazy XD)

1) I'm always cracking the bones in my body. Whether it's my back, neck, knees or knuckles. ESPECIALLY my knuckles. It annoys the shit out of my parents and I'm sure it annoys my friends as well.

2) I can get VERY lazy at times. It's probably why my room is sometimes a wreck because I can't bother to pick stuff up off the floor That and I sometimes leave a lot of things that have to be done at the last minute. Whether it's homeowrk, a project due or a drawing. But I still get it done no matter what.



3) I have naturally wavy hair that gets frizzy so I use a flattening iron on my hair every other day. When I don't realize it, if I have a few strands of frizzy hair sticking up, I pull them out. It's an OCD thing I think. D:

4) I get very self-conscious in public. Because I'm always worrying what people think about me based on the way I look or act. And so I always get nervous when I talk to people I'm not comfortable with or when I have to talk in front of a class. I know I have nothing to worry about, but I guess it's just a physical habit I've had since I was a kid.

5) I can get very obsessed or excited over certain things. When I mean things it's either like a book or a tv show or video game. For example, first I'd be obsessing over Sonic, then Fullmetal Alchemist, then Kingdom Hearts, then Ouran, then Twilight, then Zelda, then Beetlejuice, then Phoenix Wright...I think you get my point.

6) When it comes to something like playing a videogame, I'm able to pick up the controls in an instant and know where each place on a map is and stuff. But when watching someone play that exact game and not pick it up as fast as I do, I get all like "No! You have to do this! Want me to do it?? Oh come on, I beat that on the first try!"
For example, in Zelda: Twilight Princess. I was able to beat those three Twilight beasts for the first time in one try. But then when a friend of mine plays it, she gets killed like 3 times already and then has to go through the whole stage again and again, and I'm like 'ARGHH JUST LET ME DO IT SO WE CAN GET PAST IT"
Yeah...bad habit :/

Mmkay so...

Square-Enix U.S.A. support is collecting the names/emails of people interested in Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix+. Please note this is not necessarily a matter of “enough names, you get the game” - this is quite possibly their way of mass tracking who is interested in the game.

Yes, like I said before, I'm now in a Phoenix Wright phase.
I beat the last court case yesterday though! YEAH!
I AM AN AWESOME LAWYER!! (I TOTALLY did not look at an online walkthrough for tips on how to get through certain areas WHUT >.> YOURE LYING)

GRARRGHH I NEEEEED THE SECOND GAME NOW

I wanna make one of those Phoenix Wrong parody things, but then I'll have to download a lot of sprites and I have no clue on how to use flash. Which is sad. Because there are 13-year old's out there that can make flash movies while I PHAILLL

I didnt even know what flash was when I was 13. I feel old D:

Kinda reminds me of another favorite quote from Phoenix Wright 8D

-Phoenix
"I'm bushed. Maybe I'll sit down here for a bit."
-Maya
"This is exactly why I don't want to get old. Ever."
-Phoenix
"H-hey! I'm still young! I'm just tired!"
-Maya
"Nick, when you start having to say "I'm still young," you know it's all over."
-Phoenix
(But... but I AM still young!)

Poor 24-year old Phoenix. He's OOOOOLD D:

Yes I'm STILL working on my Beeteljuice doujin. I know youre probably all pissed off because G-d knows when I posted the first page. But it will come. Some day. Even if it takes 5 years. It shall come.
I've been writing down ideas for the plot on what's going to happen. And I've came up with a good idea.
The only thing is, I'm going to have to watch the movie Beetlejuice just in case. And I don't have a tape or dvd of it D: *emo* I ahvent seen the movie in like FOREVER
I was hoping to find the whole movie on youtube but I found no luck *le sigh*

Why am I saying this? Because I'm going to find a connection to the series AAAAAND the movie. You'll see :3

Meanwhile, tomorrow is the first night of Passover.
GOOD-BYE MY SWEET MUFFINS OF CHOCOLATE-CHIP GOODNESS. GOOD-BYE MY PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES OF JOY. GOOD-BYE COCOAPUFFS CEREAL.
I WON'T SEE YOU ALL IN...A WEEK. *emotear*
But meh, I'll deal with it.
LOOKS LIKE I'M HAVING EGGS AND TURKEY SAUSAGE EVERYDAY. Cuz like 75% of breakfast food is bread. Whether it's cereal, oatmeal, bagels, waffles, pancakes, french toast, muffins, etc. So eggs it is. Or matzah, but I'm not a huge fan of matzah. (WHAT KIND OF JEW AM I? D= )
They do have Kosher-for-Passover chocolate cereal. BUT IT'S NASTAY D:
However, kosher-for-passover seven-layer chocolate cake is A-O-KAY. 8D

Oh and I found Phoenix Wright/Gyakuten meets Orchestra music. As well as special versions of the music from the game from an album calld Cadenza by Magical Trick Society. They are made of win 8DD
IMMA VEEEERY HAPPY PERSON
The Orchestra OST sounds like...a Super Smash Brothers Melee version of the Phoenix Wright music. ORCHESTRA MUSIC FTW
And the Cadenza music is totally KICKASS. I must have listened to the "Investigation~ Corned" track 5 times today.
GO GET MUSIC HEERRE
[link]

I NEED the second game. It's a drug o_o
I wanna know all about that chick in the blue hair that's related to von Karna. O:
And then theres the guy who drinks coffee all the time who looks like Data from Star Trek. But I think he's from the 3rd game that doesnt come out in America yet.
AND I WANNA SEE PHOENIX IN HIS PINK SWEATER O:
Theyre going to have to edit that sweater though. It says "Ryu" on it which is short for Ryuuichi Naruhodo AKA Phoenix's japanese name. Maybe they'll change it to Nick or something.

When I was playing the game yesterday my mom was all like "Youre really into that lawyer game huh? Are you having second thoughts about your future occupation? Perhaps you want to be a lawyer instead of a cartoonist?"
And I'm all like "PFFT HEEELLZ NO. I'd get all my defandants guilty. Unless I was a Prosocuting attorney then that's different. But NO."
Though perhaps this game will help me with any future goverment topics I'll have. If it's court cases I'm ALL for it 8D

I doubt a videogame will expand my knowledge about reality, but it sure has grown my interest in court cases.

Now if only lawyers in real life were all like Phoenix and/or even Edgeworth. Yelling out "OBJECTION!!" while slamming their hands down on their desks and then pointing at their witnesses 8DD

I've become a Phoenix Wright addict XD;

I'm on the last case!!! >:[ YEAH!
And then when I beat it I am SO getting the second game 8DD

I found a Phoenix Wright source site that has animated GIFs, pictures, game info etc. and and MANGA!
[link]

Yesh, Phoenix Wright does indeed have a manga 8D
SQUEE! (Now if only we had rights to the manga in the U.S. like we do with the Kingdom Hearts and Devil May Cry manga...)

Phoenix is just made of awesome. I don't know why. But I <3 him X3

And Miles Edgeworth too. I'mma go call him Edgey 8D


LMAO

Phoenix:
*Slams hands on the desk*
...

Judge:
Yes, Mr. Wright?

Phoenix:
I was hoping I'd come up with a question while pounding on my desk.
I didn't.

Judge:
...
You have my sympathies.

Edgeworth:
*OBJECTION!*
....

Judge:
Yes, Mr. Edgeworth?

Edgeworth:
I was hoping to come up with a question while I was objecting, Your Honor...
I didn't.

Judge:
I see...
Very well.

Edgeworth:
*OBJECTION!*

And FOMG now I see it 8D

Who knew being a lawyer was so much fun? XDD
Takes thinking, but fun 8D

I just finished the 2nd case and...is it me, or was that case REALLY FRIGGIN LONG?

I just finished it and it's now 1 in the morning...

*sigh* Too bad this was my last one. I'm going to miss this school and especially this club once I leave

(And Michelle, next year the club should TOTALLY do a dance routine. That would be made of awesome and win and I'd totally be there to watch )

In other news, Tarvis Willingham FINALLY updated his Livejournal.

"Gaaghgh! Lil' Elric keeps transmuting little ponies out of dirt and crap, and I keep tripping over them. You're good - I GOT IT, ENOUGH WITH THE FRIGGIN' PONIES! Geez. Blonde-haired freak. Sorry, would've posted sooner - but Le Shrimp keeps getting in the way with his fancy hand-clapping creations. Where was I?

Oh yes, the aforementioned crazyiness of 2007 is about to commence...soon. Anime Boston is first up. Any one attending AB this year? The more skirts the merrier ... I mean really, if every chick wore a skirt, all the worlds problems would disappear. Now who thinks I shouldn't be Furher? Thankyouverymuch."

The fact that the dub's been over for like half a year and that he still pretends to be in character shows how much of a committer he is XD

My sister has vericose viens. She went for surgery on her leg for them like around...last week?

A few days later she discovered her leg has a blister and was starting to bleed.

She went to a doctor and the doctor said she had a 3rd degree burn.

It was like 6 inches long from what I heard.

She was rushed to the hospital and was placed in the I.C.U. Burn Unit

She went for surgery yesterday on her leg.

Today was a half-a-day at school today because of parent-teacher's conference, but I didn't go because I only had like.... three periods. Art, gym and math.

We went to visit her today but she was so drugged out on morphine she could barely communicate.
She's going for skin-graphing today, or probably had it done by now.

She's going to be in the hospital for about two weeks. :/

Now we're saying she should sue the person who did the surgery on her in the first place but she doesnt want to.
I think she should sue that surgeon's ass >O
My sister did NOT have to go through all of this.

Our school's International Festival is tomorrow.
Though I have NO idea what's going on, like what group we're performing after or how we're setting up because I havent been to one rehersal. D:

I wouldve gone to today's rehersal, but I went to see my sister in the hospital and then we took my nephew out to dinner for his birthday.

(Michelle..help...
Can you tell me what time the Festival starts? What we should be wearing and what we're doing exactly? I'm sorry to be asking this at like..the last minute but I've been so stressed out and busy helping out with my nephew's birthday party because of what's been going on with my sister. D: )

Ugh...talk about bad timing eh? :/

Seriously.

WTF is up with this weather anyway?

Just a few days ago it was like, 65 degrees. I was walking around with a short sleeved shirt on.

And yesterday it snows freakin 2-6 inches!!
I was stuck in the house all last night and this morning

I used to love snow as a kid, but today it just annoys me

Now if only we had this blizzard on Monday. But nooo...it had to be on a weekend.

Damn you global warming!


But anyway. I beat Sonic and the Secret Rings. Well, I beat the main story that is. The ending was awesome, and sweet. :3 Shahra is such a pretty character once you see her in all 3D I wanna draw her....

I just got back from Costco and picked up this game for the Nintendo DS. It's called Fullmetal Alchemist: Dual Sympathy.
Now it would be pretty cool, if it wasn't for the fact my touch screen is all messed up.

Messed up HOW you ask?

Well certain parts on the screen I try to tap, won't work.
It works perfectly on the right side of the screen, but anything I try to tap on the left won't react.

This has been happening to me ever since I got the game Trace Memory. Some of the puzzles were difficult to solve because the touch screen wouldn't react. Or if I had to punch in a code for one puzzle, when I tapped 1 it would tap 3.
The touch screen plays a big part of this game so I think I may replace me DS.

Just one question though to any DS users out there.

Is the saved data from any game you play saved on the DS itself, or only the game cartridge?
I ask this because some games has my DS name listed under there.
Like in Nintendogs my DS name was my owner name.
So if I got a new DS would the data from all my games still be there??

But anyways, the extra features on FMA: DS is pretty nifty. Is it sad that I squealed when I heard Vic and Aaron's voices coming from my DS?
Plus on the main menu screen you can choose which character you want as your menu host. So far you can only choose between Ed or Al.
When you tap Ed's picture on the screen he flinches and goes "WOAH!"
But when you taps Al he just bobs his head down and giggles. O-o
I'm sticking to Ed as my host until I unlock the other characters (wonders how Roy and Riza will react)

And theres minigames! So far there's only one minigame where you have an automail arm wrestling match like from episode 26 with that guy.

And then there's a bonus called Fortune Telling. Basically it's Arakawa in her cow form holding a can. When you press start, she shakes the can, and when you press stop, you get your fortune with a character.

My first fortune was something like "Stop trying to compare yourself to others, You are an indivdual. Whatever your best at keep improving that skill."
I thought it was inspiration and sweet...although it was awkward that the fortune came with Scar O-o

The second fortune was something like "Whatever you studied today will be very helpful later in life blah blah blah..." didnt really like that one. It came with Armstrong. No wonder XD;

So yeah, if anyone could anser my question about the DS I'd be very grateful.

Now I wouldn't have a problem with this, IF THEY ASKED PERMISSION FIRST

Plus, THEY EVEN ERASED MY SIGNATURE AND COPYRIGHT

You don't just go taking people's artwork to spam around the internet or use as your MySpace page.

Now it seems this profile is private. Not that I had a Myspace in the first place.

But if someone here who DOES have a MySpace could PLEASE ask this person about taking down the picture or at least ask me first about it, it'd be greatly appreciated.

I've already completed most of the missions in the Dinosaur land thing. But DAYUM are some of those mission hard. I almost pulled my own hair out just trying to get gold on collecting 10 coins by walking/jumping backwards. But I finally got that damn timing right.
4:90 biatches. BOOYAH 8D

I've also come to the conclusion that I can be a retard when it comes to starting new games. How am I a retard you ask? Because when I started playing it, I was using the Wii remote VERTICALLY. So I was cursing for the past 15 minutes "how the f*** do I move right!?" until I finally picked up the booklet and realized "Oh...it's supposed to be HORIZONTAL...I knew that..."
(The biggest idiot of a gamer in America is right here folks!)
That and I totally missed the little icon of the Wii remote's position on the enter screen. That's what happens when you rush to start the game :/
That and after playing Twilight Princess for 200 hours, I was sort of used to the vertical position of the remote. So...yeah
I lawled when Sonic "rescued" The king*coughcough*Eggman*coughcough*
Who knew your foot could save somebody's life? 8D

The minigames in the party mode are fun too. Except for a few certain games here and there. One game being you have to catch these little djinn things with a net. AND I CAN'T F*CKING CATCH THEM. For some reason the net kept shaking and twitching and stuff. :/
My fave minigame was the one where you catch fruit on a pole. Only cuz it's so damn simple 8D
I can't wait to play as Shadow or Silver in the minigames. Just so I can laugh at the fact that youre playing as TEH ULTIMATE LIFEFORM!!1ONELEVEN, who's latest adventure was carrying around a gun shootin' aliens and saying 'damn" every 5 seconds, to playing baseball...and riding parasols (Shadow = Mary Poppins LOLOLOL)

Man I was so happy about Sonic having another party game. I loved Sonic Shuffle for Dreamcast and was hoping Sega would come out with another one. Just...minus all the annoying long gameboards, where when you finally reached the end, you find out you didn't come in first place and therefore you had to do the whole board all over again from the beginning.
But Sonic & the Secret Rings' party mode is awesome.

In the adventure mose, there's this one mission that I just can't beat. The one where to have to race some glowy spirit ball thing. (I forgot the name, it had three letter and started with a U) Well..I just can't win. It's in the dinosaur world.
Is there a shortcut somewhere? Or is there a way to go faster? Help? PLEASE? ;_;

Yes! Woot! I totally pwned joo Ganon! Muahaha 8D

But enough of my bragging XD

This was probably the ONLY Zelda game I've ever completely beaten. Considering the fact I never had an N64, so I never played Ocarine of Time or Majora's Mask. And I totally phailed at WindWaker on GC.
I DUNT LEIK TRAVELIN ON TEH BOAT KAY
That and the whole chibi cel-shaded thing annoyed me. It was cute but after awhile I was like "I want the sexier more realistic Link >:[" Tetra was cool though D:

I think there's like, a special Zelda collection thing for Gamecube which has all the Zelda games on it up to OoT or MM. So I'll pick that up...some day.

But yeah Twilight Princess. Kickass game yo.
But the ending....*siiiiiiigh*
Not gonna spoil anything for those who haven't beaten the game or plan on getting it. But but...
*whimper*

But yeah...Unfortunately I didnt save once in Hyrule Castle after getting the small key from the chest where you use the boomerang on the fans in a certain order.
So if I played over from the part I am, I'd have to go and find the other key behind the wall again where the zomies are D:

No biggie though, Hyrule castle wasn't as bad as the other dungeons. Kinda short. Sorry if that was kinda a spoiler :/

Dude...I say there should be a sequel to this game. Not another story that takes place another 100 years from the previous one where a new Link takes the role. I mean a direct sequek to Twilight Princess, like Majora's Mask was a sequel to OoT

There's also a rumor that Midna may be in Super Smash Brothers Brawl. Considering the fact that Nintendo has pushed it back again, it may be a possibilty :3
If not a playable character, there definitely has to be something of her in the game. Even if there's a trophy of her, I would be estatic. Cuz she's just that cool 8D
Hey. If Sheik could get in, so could Midna >

OURAN HIGH SCHOOL VIDEOGAME OMGSPAZZ

Oh and I totally got Sonic and the Secret Rings today 8D
YEA BOI

....I wanna draw Twilight Princess fanart now

It was fun =3 It was so nice a warm and sunny...unlike here in Staten Island where it's all cold and icy and gloomy :/

Compairing to Las Vegas, Staten Island is really ugly D:

So yeah. In Las Vegas. We stayed at the hotel called The Flamingo. And there were actual flamingo's in the back of the hotel 8D

We saw one of the Cirque du Soleil shows called "Mystere" which was totally kickass. I can't really describe it. It was visually stunning, yet also very funny at the same time. I can't exactly describe it. It's one of those things you have to experience yourself. It's definitely NOT your average circus, that's for sure.

We also saw the Red Rock Canyon and OMG it was gorgeous *_* I have a new love for canyons guys

And wolves. I don't know why
<.< ...and it totally has nothing to do with Twilight Princess.
I just love furry animals in general and wolves have always been one of my favorite creatures. They always seemed like such a mysterious species to me. :3
Wolves, AND coyotes.
Maybe my love for them grew more cuz I was in Nevada. DURHURRHURRR.

And the roller coaster at the New York-New York RAWKS yo.
I <3 Rollercoasters
And the arcade there was HUUUUGE :awestruck
I'm serious. I walked through like..4 different rooms

They had a Sonic coin game machine there 8D
It was one of those things were you put your coin in and it rolls down and whatever number or target it rolls on determine's the amount of tickets you get. I kept getting like...1 ticket though cuz I phail.

And the plane ride wasn't so bad either. I recommend anyone who plans to travel by air to use Jet Blue. They're the cheapest and safest airline there is. Plus free cable dude. Cable is ALWAYS good on a long flight where your cramped in your small seat.

So overall the trip was awesome. I have pictures but I'm too lazy to upload them right now XD;

Oh yeah, who here has seen the trailer for Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix/Re: CoM??? WAS IT NOT MADE OF AWESOME?? I mean everything! From Marluxia, Zexion and Larxene's voices, to Sora and Roxas' really big shiny battle? This better come to America.
Or LySs is gon' hafta choke a bitch? >:[

Yeah...too much fangirling for one day.

In other news I am STILL working on the next pages of the BJ Doujin (gawd I hate using BJ for short :/)
The lineart is almost done. I just need to scan it, clean it up, add coloring, effects, text, blah blah etc.

Damn you Twilight Princess for taking my drawing time away D:
