Have I ever been Meme'd? I can't recall this every happening. How odd....

Anyway, I've not done much drawing recently, I still have painting I need to do, but the table I use isn't clear... I got my graphics card back up and going, which makes me happy. I tend to aim my fan into my computer case now, though. Not having a case fan sucks >_<

Anyway. Just a quick update. I'm going to drop the price of line art commissions to 5$. Past that it's going to to pretty much depend on the complexity of the picture. Talk to me in note and I'll see what I can work out.

...Marmalade.

Have I ever mentioned that I'm bad with journals? I tend to let life take it's course and reflect on what's happened in my mind. Right now though, my brain is kinda fried.

Still unemployed, I'm getting too accustomed to just sitting around the house all day. With the job market as shot as it is, my attempts to find employment have been futile at best. So I sit here, in the down stair's heat of somewhere around 80 degrees, knowing that I can't sleep because it's about 100 degrees or more (F) in my room.

My artistic muse, like much of me, is pretty burnt out from waking up, drenched in sweat, even though I have a box fan on high sitting not even 2 feet from my head.

Yet I push on. Due to a close friend I have Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, which makes me very happy. I would highly recommend PSP owners to pick it up and give it a try. ...<_< And if you don't like it, give it to me, I have a friend who -really- wants it, but is unemployed like me.

Commission are still up, but I get the impression asking for commissions here is kind pointless, as my work life taking a chunk out of my art time has lost me many of the fans of my work I had gathered over the years. These things come and go though, so I press on.

Also of note, I am taking requests for non-commission work. I figure it'll help me fix my muse problems. It wont help me keep an internet connection, but who knows, something might come out of it.

5$ a sketch (B&W/Line art)
5$ an additional person (B&W/Line art)
5$ for a back ground (B&W/Line art)
15$ to color the picture (Includes generic splash back ground)
20$ for a detailed colored back ground (New!)

This is kind of a trial system here, I'll probably adjust the prices after a while (Because personally I think that's a little high... but that's because I like giving my art away for free). The prices are likely to go up if I get bombed with requests, which I don't expect to happen, but if you get your request in before I raise the price, your picture will still be in the old price range.

I look forward to serving you, drop me a note for picture goodness.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Payments will be done Via Pay Pal, I'll discuss the finer points of this after I've at least started on your picture (that way I can confirm that I'll be able to do the request).

If you're interested in a commission, please send me a note. If you have feed back on the whole "commissions" thing, pricing or otherwise, please feel free to leave a comment on this journal.

Well, I'm going to be 25 soon. I've always wanted to be a family man, but I'm starting to think that's just not for me. I had a long and meaningful relationship back in high school, that ultimately ended up with me and my girl friend becoming just friends.

Sense then, I've never even really seen another woman that I've wanted to start a relationship with. I think it's because of where I live. Let me set one thing strait, I'm not racist. However, regardless of this, a -vast- majority of the women I live around are black. Stereotypical black. All they want is a man to fund thier ability to shop and do nothing while they pump out kid after kid. I don't understand why anyone would want this, but that's what they want, it blows my mind.

The few(two) white girls where I work are both married, not counting the Project Manager, but I couldn't have a relationship with her because she's my boss's boss's boss and that sort of thing is frowned upon. And I think she's married to, I don't know *Boggle*

I guess what I'm saying is that I want to look for a girl friend, but there's none to be had where I live. This brings me to an interesting crossroads of options. I could get a new job, and move elsewhere in the hope that some more desirable ladies are there to be courted, or, I could try finding someone online. Seeing as I don't have any personal transportation and must rely on everyone else to get me from place to place, I don't really see this working. Actually, now that I think about it, I guess the personal transportation thing kinda kills the 'new job elsewhere' thing too. Guess I'm stuck then. I'm glad I took the time to write this, I guess I should get my car working before I look for a girl fried.

And probably learn to be more sociable too.

The first five people to post and update their journals will get a spiffy keen picture, and really, isn't that what we all want after all the new spinnywizzers and poplecrackers of the Christmas season?

Bare in mind, it's not constant work. Life's gotten complicated and other things are distracting me, but it was pretty much the only art I worked on CGly for the past few months.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy my peace offering to you, my fans, I miss making you smile, but hopefully my next peace will draw awe and smiles like many before it. Later!

This is extremely frustrating for me because I've got some good pencil work I'd like to post, or I'd like to finish that picture I was working on.

I'm working on this, so there should be another update soon.

May throw up some more line are between now and the current CG project, but I'll have to find something I think is worth scanning.

You can see my pictures in the gallery, more should be up sperattically.

Also, I suck at drawing maps and scenery, so if you are good at that sort of thing -please- drop me a line. I need a really nice picture of battle island for something I'm working on, and I'd like to have a collaborative effort on making that a reality.

More in the works! Stay tuned!

Unless you really like coffee mugs.

So, I'm putting it out to you, my readers, watchers, fans, and followers to put up requests for me to turn pictures into prints. To be honest, I'd like to have all my art as possible prints, because I'd love for anyone to be able to just up-and-buy a copy of thier favorite picture from the Shop of Smiles.

This however would take more work then we all know I'm willing to put out. Rezising pictres, adding borders, fighting with "stretch marks", the whole nine yards on EVERYTHING? Madness. Simply Madness. So please, lend me your opinions. What would you like to see in print form? Expect black or white borders, because some things I don't want to skew for proper ratios.

Also, if you want to have a picutre turned into a print that has someone who is not my or your character, I will have to stare at the print shop EULA because I think I have to get concent from the characters originator to be able to make that a print. I could be wrong, but I'd rather not get into trouble for breaking the rules.

Also also, If you want a print of something that is -not- in my Gallery, let me know. Yes, I know that's tecnically taking requests, but what the heck, right? Might as well throw that out there.

This is ASTOUNDING for me, as I usually have to fight for two hours to get 100 or so out of the way. This also means that (once I get the "Where the money goes" side of things taken care of, I'll be able to start posting prints. Prints = monies. Monies = less stress. Less stress = MOAR ARTZ!

One thin you'll probibly notice is that even though I have a subscription, I'm not really going to be taking full advantage of it until I get enough money to pay for a full one, rather then the trial.

Oh yes, I know you guys are probibly skeptic about me actually getting more active just because I have a subscription, but I'm currently cleaning house (Litterally) and this should make scanning a little easyer on me, and thus more arts -should- follow.

As always, I'm taking comissions and requests (The difference being if you have the change on hand to pay for art from little ol' me.)

More news as it happens.

Let me explain.

The economy in South Carolina is just short of freeking horrible and I spent a long period of time unemployed. Because of this, my dad offered me an option to leave everything (aside from nissesities and my computer) behind and move to the mid-state to get a job. Much to his surprise, I immediately took the offer and packed my stuff. I didn't -want- to be unemployed, I just couldn't -get- employed.

Anyway. His offer was to let me stay with him and his new family for 3 months to gather all I needed together to go out on the world on my own. This kinda failed as I spent so much time helping them out I ammassed no savings of my own and ended up with him for the better part of a year, moving six or seven times over the course of that year. HOWEVER near the end of that year, my brother joined me in the up state and together we got out own place. Wootness.

I saw this as a great idea. You take someone under your wing, ask they contribute a little bit, and allow them to grow their own nest egg to move out. I extended the offer to a friend of mine who was in the rough, and it ended up being extended to another friend, I forget how. I'm going to cut -alot- of turbulence out of this part of the story and skip to the hear and now-ish. Roomie 1 moved out with the very short lived Roomie 3 and they got their own place. In this economy, living alone is near impossible, and rather improbable. Thing went south when Roomie 1 lost his job, then Roomie 3 moved back to the upstate for grander (?) things.

Roomie 1 moved back with us, very briefly before getting his own place. Confused yet? It gets better. Roomie 2, my brother, and I made several jokes at the expence of Roomie 1 about various things (all in jest, I assure you) until he took the plan my father gave me, and I gave him, and extended it to a new friend who was rather in need. This worked well because the "We can jokingly pick at him because he's not here" focus quickly shifted to non-roomie number B. It's very important that he remains number B, for reasons I'm not going to mention.

Oh yes, and Roomie 1, if you read this, remember that if Roomie 2 moved out first, he'd be the butt of the jokes. It's just, like a said, a "he's not here" thing. Half the stuff we say is blatant lies, but entertaining none the less.

Okay, so back to the head spinning confusity. Aparently Non Roomie B is causeing Roomie 1 a rather lot of trouble. Now Roomie 1 is trying to help NR B to get his act together but the longer things go on, the worse things seem. I'm -really- glad I'm not around for a majority of the stuff that goes on in Roomie 1's new pad.

Anyway, you can get all the assorted details in Roomie 1's rant here [link] .

To make a long story short (Or TL DR for you forum hicks) My heart goes out to Roomie 1 and Non Roomie B. I really hope all goes well, but at this point things are starting to look like a house of card built on a foundation of sand during low tide and here comes high tide. I wish I could help, but I'm really at a loss here.

What the real moral of this story is, I guess, is to be happy for what you have. Be happy your not in 1 and B's situation, or mine. As my brother and Roomie 2 have lost interest in what goes on in 1's pad (unless Roomie 1 ends up with the hot new game that is all the rage to play (I'm looking at you Rock Band)).

Take some time and give Roomie 1 your prayers, your heart, or some sagely advice if you can muster it.



And in all of this, you might be wondering what's up with me? Jamming out "Still Alive" on Expert on Rock Band with the Guitar. 'nuf said.

Oh, also, for "throwing that out there"'s sake, if someone gifted me a DA subscription, that would be awesome. Something about being absurdly broke prevents me from being able to splurge on little nicieties like that. Go fig.

In other news, I have no other news right now. I might start taking commissions, but I have a feeling that'd fall on it's face more then it would keep me afloat. Oh well. Peace out, fans and strangers alike! Hopefully I'll be able to stay in touch AND solve my lack of scanned pictures problem!

It's been very hard for me to motivate myself to post anything on DA... not really because I'm not drawing, I am, just because I often look at everything I haven't scanned and think "I need to scan that" And don't. I'm almost to the point where I contemplate having someone else scan everything -for- me. Trust me, all the art I've done is pretty much a daunting statistic.

I might get my brother to scan some art for me... but for that I'd have to figure out which book to take out of my back-pack-o-sketch-books.

Anyway, I'm doing a lot of thinking and not a lot of doing these days. Especially about my love life, or rather, my lack of. I really thought I'd have a girl friend by now, I'm just not really driven to get one. Oh well, that's completely unrelated. My notices and updates journal is becoming a lot like all the other blogs I've had over the course of my life... unused and unloved.

I think to break the ice I'm going to go back to putting pencil and paper line art in my gallery proper... I'm just not CGing anything anymore. Even pieces I've meant to CG I've more or less ignored.

Oh well, as per usual more updates as they come. I often find the irony that I'm like another artist I like. We both do decent quality stuff and we used to have a routine update schedule but have both fallen into inactivity with fits of updates. It really bothers me that he doesn't update, so I can totally see if some of my fans are a little frustrated with my lack of updates as well.

Also! I'm getting a lot better at spelling, Yay me! For lack of better things to do with journal space, I'm going to list the words I couldn't spell without spelling aid, or that I just continue to mess up because my brain is programmed to type them wrong and it takes a red underline to make me spell them right.

Typo list: Especially (Exspecailly) a lot (alot) tomorrow (tomarrow) (Tomorrow is a word I didn't use in this entry, but use a lot at work... and spell wrong every time even though I know how to say it. I blame Southerners for saying "to-MAR-row" *Shake fist*)

In a nut shell this means that I'm going to be converting my pics to jpg so I can post them properly, though I think that it's kinda bull that I -have- to do this. I'd rather just keep them .gif format (Because that's what they need to be for Anki's game.) but now I have to keep two copies of the pictures, one for Anki and one for my DA account.

Personally, I don't see what the huge problem with putting .gifs in digital art is. Are they afraid that people will put animations in their gallery? Lets face it, any animations that would be big enough to cause problems would go over the size limits of DA. Trust me, I know, I tried animating in .gif years ago. Those files get huge quick, fast, and in a hurry.

Anyway, no real point to this journal entry, I'm just ranting.... *Shake fist*

I'm actually not being sarcastic, I really couldn't figure out where the heck to put it. Apparently that's because there WAS no proper category for it so it goes into Misc. I guess that's the price you pay for having something in .gif format? Oh well, at least I don't have to worry about starting problems for having stuff in the wrong place, because I know where to put it.

I was actually not in trouble or anything like that, which is something I've been worried about because I've known people in the past to get in trouble for posting their stuff in the wrong categories, but I suppose they let me off the hook because there was no category for general fantasy digital art which is saved in .gif format.

Oh well, nothing else of interest going on. Hope to have more art for you guys soon.

Anyway, this is getting rather tangendal so I'm going to get back to what I was actually writing this journal about... my art, and the fact that I'm still drawing. You might not think that I am because I haven't updated in forever and a day, but I am. The main problem that I'm coming across is the fact that I live with two other people and my computer is the only one that works. Even though I'm rather skilled at being a greedy internet scrouge I.... dang it, Christmas term... uh... well anyway, I can't deny them the use of my computer and often find things for me to do so that they can use my computer. This means that the time I usually spend Photoshopping my art is going to them and the other time that they're not wanting to use the computer, I'm probibly trying to slip into work to get back the hours I'm lossing from my work days proper.

[tangent] I work in a call center. When we don't get enough calls, I get sent home early. This time of years the call center gets REALLY slow and I get sent home alot. Therefor, on my days off, I try to slip in during the few hours we are getting calls for overtime. [/tangent]

I took a pole from the fans who actually reply to my journals a while ago on wether I should take the time to color my work before uploading it, and they said to do so, almost unanimously, but I'm begining to get rather upset at my lack of updates. I'm going to fight with my scanner some more and see if I can't get it working. If I can, I'm going to try and scan the FULL SKETCH BOOK that I've finished and not really been able to upload any of. I'll probibly break it up between scraps and gallery proper. I have another Sketch book which is three pages short of being full that I need to get to as well... and these don't count the two OTHER sketch books I've been trying to find the time to scan for the past year or so.

I've often contimplated seeing if I couldn't get someone to start scanning my art for me then just emailing me the pictures to do with as I please (Crop, color, touch out, etc.) I'm doing a hudge disfavor to my fans by putting off updating for so long, as well as a disfavor to Li-Chi for not having enough beefcake in my gallery.

To make up for the lack of beef cake, here is an ASCII reprisentation of Vlaid's cute butt. ( | )

A little crude? Very much so, but I do what I can with what I've got. I'm going to run now before I get mobbed for being crude/trampled by Harle and Li-Chi trying to get to Vlaid. I'll see you guys later. Take care. *Bolts*

I'm still drawing, and I look forward to posting all of the art I've done when my scanner becomes un-possessed. I miss the community and my friends, 'specailly Harle. I hope to see your smiling faces again soon.

I feel bad though, I squandered my wish on something selfish. I kinda wish I could take the wish back and wish for something else, but in the fleeting moments of a falling star you really don't have time to wish for anything other then the thing you really want the most.

I hope my wish comes true... if it does, I'll be able to fulfill all my other wishes.

So, I get to right with it today to try and figure out why it decided to stop working and then hopefully there will be more pictures for you. YAYZ. I've got a bunch of pictures of Lynx and Pokie (Who I really like the more I draw them) some pictures of Vlaid (For those of you out there that love the guy... Harle and Li-Chi I'm looking at you.) And more ToDA brawling style pictures for the whole community to sink their teeth in.

And by the whole community, I mean the people still paying attention. *cough*

So yeah, I kinda dropped the ball, but I'll pick it up off the first bounce, hopefully more stuff will be up tonight and I'll get some coloring done. We'll have to see.

Muchas Happiness, True believers.

Two examples: ChazDragoon gave DA the finger during the Jark incident (which I payed no attention to, reguarless of how much I should've) and DA gave him the finger right back. They've scrubed as much of his exsistance off thier servers as possible, and yet, he's still a character I include inthe ToDA.

Funily enough, my origenal plans where to have him win, before I scrubbed that and decided to go with randomly generated winners.

Example two: TRiPPY. Yeah, I miss her... she was a hudge insperation to me as an artist, she got me interestedin something I never really heard of until her, and she also was the window to alot of other friends that I made on DA. She left DA because she just didn't have the time for it anymore.

Another interesting tid-bit, The way the community really flocked around TRiPPY was one of the insperations for the ToDA in the first place. I figured that if I gave people a medium to which they could see designes from several different artists, people who liked, for example, TRiPPY's stuff, but had never seen Anki's stuff would have a way to see Anki's designs and the links to his page.

This leaves me at an odd cross roads. Today I drew two pictuers. One had Chaz tearing it up in another one of my "The ToDA would make an awesome brawler" pictures, and the other had TRiPPY in the back ground in an unrelated manner. With these artists gone, should I keep thier characters in Battle Island?

I have every intention of keeping there unless told by the origenal artist that they want thier character removed, as it's been the rule I've always had.... but what do I do from here? Oh well, I guess I'm just meandering.

This is the second sketch book that I've planned to do this with and only my rampant lazyness has prevented me from doing this thus far.

HOWEVER, I realised that some of my favorite things to draw have not debued in DA so I'm thinking about posting all my pictures of them up in my galery proper, just because I'm that happy with them.

Anyway, I'm alomst done with that one picture I've been working on for the past month. Looking at it, it wasn't worth a month of effort... but expect it soon. I just have to finish the shading and highlights then make the back ground a little more alive (or less flat shaded) and I'll be done.

Take care true belivers.

Also, sorry for the short post, I'm a tad busy right now.

More updates as they become relevant.

I'm working on a picture, puting alot of work into it, and I don't feel like moving onto another picture until I'm finished with it... so would you rather I A: Finish the picture and take the time digitally touch up, color and shade my pictures before posting them, or B: Post the pencil art.

I posted a few pencil pics already and they pretty much generated no real opinions, so I feel like I'm letting my fans down. If you guys would perfer, I can start posting line art in the Scraps of my account and let you guys decide what you really want to see colored.


PLEASE VOICE YOUR OPINION. If I had a subscription I'd most an actual pole, that way you could hide as a faceless number... but I'm broke and cheep XD

Feel free to give me a subscription so that excuse it taken away from me *Innocent whistle.*

Also, PLEASE don't just say "Oh I don't mind ether way" Because I know deep deep deeeeeep down inside you're not nutral. I really wanna know, m'kay?

Have at yee.

My mom visited from Vagas. Yay, I love my mommy! The first few days of her visit where pretty bad. I already had two friends visiting and the house was really too full for anyone to enjoy anyone elses company. Then on Saturday mom took us to the Renesaunce Fair in Atlanta Georga. I had alot of fun. I also bought a jester cap which I adore.

At the fair, I managed to luck out. The Ren Fest has these dragon puppet things that you can put on your sholder and manipulate thier head using a control that you hide behind your arm. I've wanted one for a while, as I think they're really cool, but they've always been too expencive. This time at the fair, though, they had cheap 25$ ones. While contemplating which 25$ dragon to buy the games master that had a stand next door said that for a little more (26$ and change) I could buy a dragon egg that could end up winning me ether the 25$ dragon, or maybe something bigger. I decided to go for it (because I had 27$ on me and nothing better to spend my money on). After the egg rolled down the machien, the man picked up the slip inside and announced to everyone within earshot that I'd just won a 250$ dragon. If it wasn't raining and the ground wasn't muddy, I probibly would've fallen over.

Anyway, his name is chance. I currently have him over looking my living room. I hope to get a picture of him on deviant art soon.

The Ren Fest was a blast, it really stank that it started raining at the end.

Sunday was rather quite if I remember correctly, which I really don't.

Monday mom took us to the Zoo. I didn't know the Zoo in my area wasn't lame. It was actually pretty cool. I'll probibly go back. I had to work that day so we didn't have enough time to go to the botanical guarden. Mom took alot of pictures. ...I want duplicates.

Mom left tuesday morning, threatening to come back next year. I hope my apartment is in better shape by then.

I've not had alot of time for my art, though. I made an agreement with my boss that he'd let me off work early to spend time with my mom, if I would come in and work over time on my days off... as such, I've not had a whole day to myself in a while.

Further more... I've been sick, twice. There where two sicknesses floating around when mom visited me, and I managed to catch both of them, one after the other. I'm still recovering, but I'm chipper enough to do my daily things.

And... well... that's about it. I might get the Tuesday after next off, I don't know for sure. I'll really have to look into things. If I do get it off, I'll probibly start scanning the sketch book that I filled in the time that I didn't have a scanner, so expect alot of art up from me... sooner or later... <_<;

It's great to be back, can't wait to get back into the full swing of things.

So anyway, now that I'm all back and happy and stuffs I was wondering... did you like what I did with KnIght then here's your chance to decide the next person -and- the influence that you want me to use on them.

I simply took a samurai influence on KnIght and it turned out awesome, so voice your opinion and let me know who you want to see and how you want to see them. Right now, I'm tapering towards MiSCHi, but I'll really have to see how you want things to go.

Don't be surprised if I take some one's request for a person and mix it with a completely different person's requested influence... BUT I WANT TO HEAR YOUR OPINION!

Also, I'll be setting up some prints soon, just to help me get some extra money on the side. Luckily I was able to cover all of my usual expenses with my paycheck which I put a lot of over time in. Anyway, my money griping was just me griping... I knew (or at least was 99% sure) that everything would be fine once I got my check. I actually managed to end up a little ahead due to kind contributions from my mom that helped me keep groceries in the house.

Well in a nut shell, things are the polar opposite of my previous post right now. Woots.

Life continues to putter along.

Randomly there will be a new game in the NiGHTS series, it's coming out on the Wii. I couldn't be happier.

My house is picking up another tag-along... or more accurately, a tag-along is returning to tag-along. On the up side he -may- be getting a job. That would be nice. I'm tired of having to carry the house by myself... it cuts into my drawing and fun time.

I will never understand how people can favorite old art of mine and yet not comment on it. I try to always say at least something when I favorite things.

I just spent four hours trying to take down the R Gun Rival. ... It's still not down. This angers me greatly.

I have a lot of art and am very close to having a scanner. Expect a flood of sketches soon. I figure I'll post them all in one big flash file that way you can see everything I drew and only really comment on the ones you think are cool or worth while. I might even let people pick which pictures they would like to see me color... This is of course if the tag-along lets me have enough time to do what I like, rather then working to keep a roof over my head.

I'm unhealthy. over all I'd say I'm about 80% healthy, maybe less... probably less. This does not mean I'm sick, just out of shape and sickly. I need to find someone to motivate me to exercise. I can do it if I'm motivated. If only DDR didn't start sucking. I miss their old mixes, to hell with this new pop crap.

I wish that I got more exercise out of Guitar Hero... it's fun, but DDR is so much more of a work out.

Rent's late. Being broke does that to a guy.

Damn it, All I want to do is bring people smiles, why can't I build myself up, into a position in life where I'm allowed to do that?! *Shakes fist*

See you in your dreams

I'm starting to feel really bad about my lack of updates... like... really bad. But everytime I throw something together really quickly just to put it up, I always realise that it's complete crap and don't post it because I try and keep my gallery of a certain quality.

*Sighs* I need to try and get a good scanner... but I'm so broke. I'm going to leave it at that, I try and keep certain standards in my journals too, no in dept complaining about money or begging for cash. There's other stuff too, but it's kinda irrelevant.

I love all my fans, and hopefully I'll be posting some stuff for you to enjoy soon.

HEEEEEEAAAAAAALLLLLLP



Agents are GO!

*Sigh* Elite Beat Agents is so awesome. Lets see... uh... had my first Warhammer 40K match today... I won, but that was probably due to the fact that I was playing someone who I had -just- taught how to play. He and I both agree if he had known more of the system things would've gone much differently.

Partially my fault, I should've told him not to march his Imperial Guard against my Crisis Suits... but I didn't know my Shas'O had so many attacks in Melee.

Uh, lets see... what else is going on. I made someone happy at work by solving his problem. He promised to make my birthday not suck, and then I immediately lost touch with him... funny how that works.

Lets see, got my first birthday gift today, steak dinner at Fire Mountain. It's a pretty nice place, felt a little sick after I ate there, but that passed quickly (luckily).

I'm currently hating my job because of the position they put me in, I'm begging them to move me to another position, but I think it's falling on def ears.

Kinda tired right now, think I'll curl up in bed now.

Later true believers.

I just need to get off my ass and find A working scanner. I know where two scanners are but neither of them have a power cord. The one scanner I have with a power cord I found out hasn't had working drivers sense Windows 95. *Heavy sigh* I'll figure something out.

And if you're wondering "why doesn't Moonie just post some digital art" Well.. my digital art seems to have fallen into a slump, every time I try to draw something digitally, it ends up looking shitty. Also, for some reason Adobe locks up whenever I try to save things as a .JPG file. I don't know why, I probably have to reinstall.

Anyway, I'll figure something out. Later all, peeps, and thanks for your loyalty thus far.

Why?

Because it's my DS and I dont share it with anyone, that's why. I have to share my computer with two others, which makes keeping in touch a real pain. Send me a note with your Mog Net code and I'll send you mine.

Don't have a wireless connection for your DS to do Mog net? Go to your local Mc Donalds, many of them have an open frequency wireless signal for people to use in thier resteraunts.

More actual informtitive and useful information to come later.

Summing up what I was saying... still toying around with animations, I had a merry early chirstmas, I am going to be clearing -alot- of journals without reading them because there's no way I'm going to read 300+ journals, so just for good measure you might want to link me a journal if it's important and I've not commented on it.

Aside from that if you want a holiday picture from me, let me know, I'll try my best to get it to you before the holidays are over.

Still trying to get a scanner... I'm going to be scanning the super cult hit "Mr. Butt, Proving the World's an Ass" special '06 Friday the 13th edition, some ToDA stuff, and a few extra goodies I'm throwing into the mix for no reason other then I think it'll make a few people happy.

I'm also thinking about scanning the rest of my sketch book and making it a flash GUI interactive flip-through-pages thing...

My random thoughts go as follows...
I Just want to get my Druid to level 13 *Shakes fist*. Oh wells. So how're you? You been good? Didn't miss anything important, did I? I tend to only read important looking journal entries when I have over 100 journals in que. ...you know, all that not liking to read and all. I wonder if I'll ever have a little toddler of smiles. Having a defective gene pool makes me worry, especially after hearing my co-workers joking about some thirty-year-old-and-change virgin selling himself on Ebay... and then them joking about how no man can make it past 25 and be a virgin. >_< Bleh, I work with ass holes. Sierra Mist taste good, but I'd rather be drinking water... I'd rather be living in a place with drinkable tap water. The Wii is -a lot- of exercise... I still hurt in multiple places from playing Wii Sports... even though I pummeled a whole buncha people in Wii Boxing. You can't beat my mock-drunk boxing, ooh yeah. My sides hurt from too much weaving back and forth. Bleh, I wish I had a scanner. THE POWAH OF HUGE IS BAD NEWZ~!

So I sit at work when I have time and doodle but never make anything truly worth while, then I turn to deviant art to try and find something which sets my soul ablaze so I can return to my usual vigor and get back to make people happy for no other reason than to just make the world a better place smile at a time, and yet, I find nothing here.

I'm sure you, the reader, are very frustrated by now at my lack of updates, I can remember plenty of artists and comics that I loved that updated often and then stopped updating. I remember going back later and finding there's some new stuff but the page is still pretty much dead, and I'm sure that's how a lot of people feel about my page. I'm sorry about this, I really am.

Just please bare with me, I'm still drawing. Nothing with real meaning, I've been making a lot of random character designs. I finally have a mechanized trooper design to call my own, it's nothing like some of the other people out there, but I enjoy it. I still have a lot of artists that I want to pay tribute to, but I just can't because all I'm churning out right now is crap.

Forgive me, and pardon my dust.

Many good arts all around, I had over 400 to go through, so I really didn't comment on much, I see a lot of improvements from losta people, which is nice... though I find myself rather disappointed... not in the art.

How to say this... have I been writing inane descriptions for my pictures so long people stopped reading them, or did people never really read them? Or the more probable, do people read them and then not care. I posted a contest for people to draw scarf before my Internet went out and, like... NOONE even tried or acknowledge its existence. If you're not a sentai fan, I guess I can see that but... geeze.

Though, it's probably my fault, I know that I lost a lot of people that used to watch me a lot because I stopped posting a lot... which is sad, I hate loosin' friends, but I've said before, I'm terrible with things like forums and DeviantART. Hell, if I didn't have such good friends like Muzza Me, Anki, and Harle I'd probably have left this sight by now. ...And not for Sezzy ether. Though it is nice to have a place to put my art.... I just wish I had a scanner.

Or more likely, I wish I didn't feel so bad about posting pencil art in my main gallery because it's such a step down from my CG stuff.

Oh well. I needed to rant, and there you have it folks. No go off some automatons before the Narksplosh take over.

...PJ
I found another Tau enthusiast and thus am very happy... Yay. Expect more Warhammer art. Just giving you guys a warning, because I notice a general lull from the peanut gallery when I'm not drawing characters that have anything to do with them...

...PPJ
Expect more beef/cheese cake to.... I need to appease the great Li-Chi before she stops paying attention to me all together, which would make me very sad. ]]> ~MajorMoonie http://MajorMoonie.deviantart.com/journal/9970810/ http://MajorMoonie.deviantart.com/journal/9970810/ Sat, 09 Sep 2006 15:48:00 PDT
I have Super Robot Wars OG for the GBA (Which I'm playing on my DS) and it's alot of fun, but then I saw the preview for the japanese version of it and was filled with a sense of... well.. "THAT'S NO FAIR!" It's so pretty ;_;.

Nothing really big going on roleplay wise, I know I don't talk about role playing often, atleast not on DeviantART, but that's because... well... meh.

I have a million jillion stories going on in my head and I don't feel like telling anyone about any of them... not because I don't want to tell anyone as much as I just don't feel motivated enough to go over them... but then again, that's nothing new.

Disgaea 2 is also eating up a chunk of my life. No surprise there, as the origenal was the first game that I became an insomniac because of. It's funny how City of Heroes saved me from a game about Demons. ..of course, when I say it like that, it looses all of it's charm. Overlord, Overlord, OVERLOR~~D!

Chapter 1, my "heart attack"

Happened one Sunday morning (meaning 3:43 on a Sunday). Went to the hospital. Got my first ambulance ride, weee~. Got carted around on a...bed...thing...with wheels.... Had my first X-ray, and my first virtual wet yourself. ...I mean cat scan. And was released the next day with a little doololly on my chest. Heart monitor, that was it. Oh, and all the little diode things they put on my that stuck to the hair on my shoulders and chest. >_< Yeah, took me a week to get that crap off... and it hurt even then.

So anyway, a week or two pass and I go back to my follow up, and guess what... My heart is fine! The heart attack (more like a heart flutter) was caused by an over dose of caffeine from all the soda I'd been drinking instead of sleeping (Good old Dr. Pepper sending me to the Doctors....). So... my heart is fine. My blood pressure is high though, which would explain why my legs fall asleep so easily.

epilogue to chapter 1
I wanted to tell everyone what happened, but I didn't want to do that until after I had all the results, because I didn't want people to worry over something in case it turned out it be nothing (which it pretty much did. yay). I don't drink Dr Pepper so much anymore. I was addicted to caffeine and because of the heart flutter I had to keep myself off it for a while. After I drank some past the point where I was over it, it dawned on me that I really like Sierra Mist/Sprite's taste better anyway. In fact, DP has dropped from my favorite drink to... well... it's pretty down there now. I don't need to drink it, and ever time I do I think about how unhealthy it is for me. Now if I can only move from sierra mist to Hawaiian Punch, and from HP to water, I'll be ten steps healthier. But, about halfway through the ordeal... A VIRUS STRIKES!


Chapter 2 OMG HAX!

My computer restarted for no reason. When it came up my computer didn't have Internet access. Both my roomie and me threw our (usual) trouble shooting skills at it, and pretty much came up with the fact my winsock was broken. This ordeal pretty much lead me to want Huntermun to reinstall windows on my box. Well, long story short, troubles kept popping up that prevented him from doing that. Lovely how that works sometimes, isn't it?

Anyway, my computer sat around uselessly for a while, then one night I got filled with a spunky want to get the computer taken care of, so off to the computer I got. My TCP/IP wasn't working so into safe mode I went, then to the command prompt, then "netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt" to repair." got an error.

Huntermun: What're you doing.
Me: Hey Huntermun, Google this error.
-time passes-
Huntermun: Says it's a winsock2 error/corruption
Me: How do we fix it?
Huntermun: Well first we have to go -location in computer- and look for -somethings-
Me: Okay, I don't see those.
Huntermun: Says if you don't see them, a third party software's dealing with that stuff.
Me: Well how many things should I have.
Huntermun: Says 10.
Me: *counting* ..... I have 26.
Huntermun: Well you might have ten more because I tried putting another Ethernet card in.
Me: Well how do I fix it?
Huntermun: Go into the DOS prompt and type in netsh winsock reset
Me:*To self* Damn it, That's that freaking dos command I always forget >_<


Long story short, problem got fixed, yay.... so... I"M BACK! Woot! Missed all you guys a lot. I've been trying to log on to AIM, but no one seems to be talking to me. Musta forgotten me ~_~;; Bah well.

Expect art soonish! ]]> ~MajorMoonie http://MajorMoonie.deviantart.com/journal/8788784/ http://MajorMoonie.deviantart.com/journal/8788784/ Tue, 16 May 2006 13:37:48 PDT
If you're new to my Shop of Smiles, then feel free to look over these pictures and reminisce with me.

Lets kick this pig.

[link]
What is it good for?
I used to take a lot of screenshots from the MMO City of Heroes, but this one always spoke the most to me... probably because looking at it reminds me of the state of the world today... you know... total ruin.

[link]
Looping Lessons
Infamous to me, this was the first picture that I busted ass to pretty up in Adobe Photoshop. All in all it turned out craptacular, but it did star the near ledgendery TRiPPY and also symbolise my naivety of the KNiGHTS world as a whole. Yes I know how to paraloop, but I've never played N:iD and as such don't know a lot of the story of the game, universe, or many of the fan stories which where spawned off this. I'm pretty sure TRiPPY's a tad to busy to visit the shop of smiles any more, seeing as I've moved away from NiGHTS recently, but I wouldn't expect it to stay that way.

[link]
500 HIT HYPER COMBO
Featuring KnIght, my personal 'maren in what looks like a pose from Braver (A limit moved used by Cloud in Final Fantasy 7) the picture was tittled 500 HIT HYPER COMBO, a play on words. The picture celebrated my 500th page view (Which is funny because the original line art for it was posted on hit 499 and the finished version was posted on 501). Why is the a play on words? Well, hit (meaning someone visiting a web page) is being used like a hit (or impact, like a punch, kick, or weapon attack) to say that I've just completed hitting some poor thing 500 times, like in a fighting game. I assure you, button mashing was probably involved... ^_^;

[link]
NiGHTS' watch
This is one of my favorite jokes, NiGHTS losing his watch because he has no wrist to keep it on. So entertaining. Love the expression too!

[link]
Shining Armor
My first iron man adobe picture... I spent pretty much all day on this sucker and I believe it turned out great. Well, great for the time, it still looks pretty nice.

[link]
Repli-Kimika
Sometimes a single picture can be the start of a great relationship. This picture was the spark that started one of the greatest friendships I've ever had, and my -best- relationship that I've had over the internet. Sam 'n' I are best friends now, and I hope it stays that way... and to think it all started with a few comments and this picture.

[link]
[link]
Commissions 1(Heav) and 2(Muzza-me)
These two pictures... hmm... They started another friendship which... well... died, and I hate that it did. I believe the chain for this is Post commission notice on page, show someone in Furcadia my DA page, do commission for them, get commission from their boy friend, make an awesome friend. I miss you Muzza Me, and hope things have gotten better for you.

[link]
[link]
[link]
Chaos Nightmaren, The Repliod KnIght, UV Maveric
This was my mixing of two worlds, those two worlds being my two favorite things at the time, Mega Man and NiGHTS. I love the way KnIght turned out, though of the three pictures, I'd have to say that UV Maverick is my preferred, because it's a gift to someone who used to mean a lot to me. Though I still watch TRiPPY, I'm not a raving fan of her art anymore... not because I like it any less, but because I save the raving for her really really bad ass art rather then just her bad ass art.

[link]
Get Through Me
I don't think I've ever been able to capture an emotion as well as I did in this picture... I wish the person I was protecting looked better, but the torn up defender putting it all on the line to protect someone else ... well... *sighs and smiles* I'm outta things to say on this... this picture still moves me when I think about it.

THANK YOU

Yes, I would love to work on it more, but unfortunately because of the time that I've been bungling the project, I'm pretty much going to have to start from the top... no problem there, 'cause I didn't get very far.

I still don't know how I'm going to do it. It's such a chore to try and remember how everyone who entered looked like. So here's what I'm-a gonna do.

Step back, start again. Everyone who is -still- watching me for the ToDA -PLEASE- send me a tell or reply to this journal with the people that you've entered and a link to what they look like ((Muzza-me and Heav are the only exceptions, as they're on my team.))! This can even be a picture -I- Drew.

I want to get every picture for everyone I can in one place so I can print out as much of them as I can AND TAKE THEM WITH ME EVERYWHERE I GO. That way I wont not draw people 'cause I don't remember what they look like.

FRIENDS! If you had someone enter the ToDA who you're pretty sure wont be paying enough attention to re enter themselves, go for it. I don't want to loose any of the entries.

ALSO: for those of you who've had a character who's under gone renovations, this is your chance to change their out fit, skin color, hair, possible scars, and what have you.

Fight on, valliant warriors.

Sorry I haven't been around, I've been drawing a lot, but haven't been drawing things relevant to the ToDA, and thus have been reluctant on posting. The simple fact of the matter is, people generally don't care when I post art for Moonie's Crew or whatever personal project I might have on my brain at the time, so I I'm not going to bog my gallery down with pictures of that.

I've started a Moonie's Crew Comic, it's around 30 pages and growing (rapidly). I put out between 5 and 7 pages in a 6 hour period. Each page is moonie's crew standard (meaning whatever paneling I feel like on note book paper, uncolored, mostly unshaded, minimal back ground.) What really bugs me about the comic is the fact that the heroes have grown so much over the years that the baddies don't stand much of a chance. The comic seems to be a bunch of short skirmishes rather then a long drawn out fight, which is how things usually go.

My Grandmother has relapsed into the cancer she was "cured" of. Doctors say it can't be cured this time, and that they can only give her meds to make the remainder of her time on this world (however short that is) less painful. I do not approve. It's funny how she relapsed into something that was cured, and it's now incurable. Sounds to me like it was incurable in the first place. Frustration ensues.

Don't expect many comments for me, in situations like this I often find myself devoid of all emotions, waiting for the final note to be placed so I can react, all the emotions that weren't there before slamming into me in a torrent of rage, sorrow, anguish, and remorse.

On a lighter note, I'm looking to do an art trade, anyone can apply, multiple people can apply. The only catch is, if I do an art trade for you, all side projects will be put on hold and I'll probably have my picture done within the week ('cause I'm like that), so don't make me wait a year for your end. I'm not a patient person. (I realise my one catch probably scared off anyone who would think of doing an art trade with me. Oh well, I'm in a foul mood anyway.) ]]> ~MajorMoonie http://MajorMoonie.deviantart.com/journal/8323783/ http://MajorMoonie.deviantart.com/journal/8323783/ Fri, 31 Mar 2006 13:27:01 PST
Warhammer, to my experience, is an acquired taste. It's both a game of mind and skill, skill in tactics and with crafting. It's not the first strategy game with miniatures I've gotten into, but I have a feeling I'll be into it a lot longer then the other passing fads.

For those of you who don't know what the game is, I'm going to once over as many races as come to mind and cover what I think of them.

-The Tau-
Currently the race that I'm going to be playing is the Tau, they are decently flexible, but suffer a lack of psykers. In all they're a very long range race with all sorts of nifty this-and-that's to keep me interested. I currently (Meaning at the time I wrote this) have 12 models, 1 only has a base coat, 2 only have base coat and on additional color. This is pretty much the race I'm going to be playing, regardless of everyone telling me to steer clear of it, as it's for people who know the game better. Well guess what...

I'M TIRED OF WINNING. That's right, I want to loose. So, I'm going to keep loosing until I win. Then I should be able to play pretty much any other race.

-The Eldar-
Or, the sissy elves. I'm not a big fan of elves, always been more a fan of humans or dwarfs...to a much lesser extent. As far as I can tell, from the Warhammer 40k game Dawn of War, which I really suggest people with computers that can handle it play, the Eldar aren't as flexible as a lot of other races are. Their gaunt bodies and usually stale poses have pretty much lost any respect I had for them.

On a side note, the only reason I'd ever warm up to the Eldar was scrapped in beta stages. This would be the Harlequin faction, which would move me to a neutral standing on the race as a hole. "I hate elves... but they have Harlequins.... Hmmmmmmmmmmm."

-The Orks-
I love des boyz. They're very over the top, what with thier Shoota and Choppa units. Dey shoot down the humies with a mighty dakka dakka. ^_^;

Down side to the orks is the MASSIVE WAVE of them you usually find in an Ork army... and if it's not a massive wave, you're doing something wrong. Go play Eldar. Da Orkz live for da choppin and thumpin of da udder guys...which roughly translates to they just adore close quarters combat. The Orks would fall under my second favorite race, I'm pretty sure, except for the fact that I'd have to buy ever last one of those green mean machiens, and that's a lot. Their Wartruks and Mek Boyz (Like Nobs and War Bosses) are big, and mean looking. Over all they live to war... and... uh... war more.

-The Tyranids-
Zergy swarm. I'd have to say between being thrown to an Ork and thrown to a Tyranid, I'd rather be thrown to the Ork. The Nids are another swarm race, they live for the swarm, eating every and anything that's dumb enough to get in their path. Between their spores and flesh hooks, I'm just going to stand on this side of the sniper drone squad.

To compound their fearsome offencive skills, most of them have thick carapaces that allow them to soak up more damage then you'd expect. They also have dangerous and powerful psyke powers. It's also hard to scare them do to their hive mind mentality...and the fact their brains are (as far as I can tell) limited to two thoughts. "It's not dead, kill it" "It is dead eat it." ....moving right along.

-The Dark Eldar-
The sissy elves who are delusional and think they're not sissy. Putting dark in front of your name does not make you cool... unless you're introducing yourself to someone under the age of 13.

Their story is that the warp (Which is kind of like the evil realm that people travel through to go light years in mere seconds) spewed forth some chaos, the chaos ate their home world, and these Eldar where like "Don't eat us" and do evil things to... well... keep from being eaten. Funny thing is, though, that way before Warhammer 40K there where STILL DARK ELVES. Buncha liars.

-The Necrons-

I'll be frank, I really don't know much about the Necrons... but what I do know is, I could easily see myself playing them. What can I say about a race that YOU JUST CAN'T STOP~! You kill them, they get back up... the only way to win is to beat them down so much that they figure that it's a lost cause and leave.

Now, it's easy to figure out that something called "Necron" would have a very death styled look, and they do. A lot of skulls and bones and green evil laser guns. I should look into these guys... I bet newbies aren't supposed to play them ether.

-The Empire which is humans-
Okay... that's all the alien races, now onto the humans who pretty much all fall under the Empire, which is ruled by a tyrannical God-Emperor who will execute people f... ]]> ~MajorMoonie http://MajorMoonie.deviantart.com/journal/7968432/ http://MajorMoonie.deviantart.com/journal/7968432/ Wed, 22 Feb 2006 04:30:46 PST What about? My birthday, which as always I'm dreading... but I'm not going to make a big fuss out of it this time... no real reason too you see.

For those who don't remember, my birthday is on the 25th, which originally I was just going to let things sit and see if anyone remembered. Oh well, guess I'm not that patient....or willing to accept the fact that almost no one remembered.

God god Robert, get it together, post some art, animate, you know you can do it!

Step one: Get flash
Step two:
Step three: ANIMATION!

Good ol' three step programs.

Anyway, long story short, I've been thinking. Posting the ToDA in a story is nice and all that, but what would you like to see it as. And I don't want no "I don't care"s... I mean it. Do you want me to invest in making it interactive? Maybe an animation or series of animations? Is good ol' text enough?

I think the second biggest thing holding the ToDA back is the lack of input. (The first being my laziness and the third being how little people care, which can be routed back into the second reason.) I want input. Good input. You've seen what -me- being gets, a whole lot of nothing. MAKE THE NOTHING STOP!

By the way, as far as my birthday goes, I'm going to be 22, my eyes and hair are dark brown, and I like posing dramatically. Does this mean I'm asking for a birthday picture? No! But one wouldn't hurt.

NOW BACK TO BED I GO!

((By the way, I've been using spell check a lot on my journals and I've been noticing something... my number of typos...well lets be truthful here...number of words I can't spell right has fallen from a good twenty or so to three at worst. What's up with that. I mean...really?)) ]]> ~MajorMoonie http://MajorMoonie.deviantart.com/journal/7682842/ http://MajorMoonie.deviantart.com/journal/7682842/ Mon, 23 Jan 2006 07:14:58 PST

BOOYA!

For all the mecha fans who happen by my site, this is the win. Enjoy it, I know I have.

Also, any details about this game... I'd love... like... ;_; yeah... I could play the imported Japanese version if it's not coming to the states... 'cause... seriously.

Go Tamijin and Veratech Valkyrie! Rawr!

In other news, the ToDA is still being worked on... I'd probibly be putting more umph into it if I could just find a media to display it on that I'm happy with. If I did it in flash, which I recently found out I -don't- have a copy of on this computer, I will probibly try to make it about half as good as the a-fore-mentioned video of awesomeness... which will take a long while if I don't get any help.

K, that's all from me now, Love yas! ]]> ~MajorMoonie http://MajorMoonie.deviantart.com/journal/7592082/ http://MajorMoonie.deviantart.com/journal/7592082/ Fri, 13 Jan 2006 12:05:27 PST

Wee!~ With so much to scan I don't have time for viruses... so... some but kicking went down, and I got a whole new appreteation for fire walls.

Zone Alarm: Nothin' goes in or out! *Booyaz, Iron Guard, biotch!*

So yeah, I have alot of stuff to scan... and a scanner hooked up to my computer... RIGHT NEXT TO ME! BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA~~~

So this is where you come in. Don't look at me like that. Yes, you. I'm talking to you. Do you see~ anyone else? Rawr.

Here's the dealio, I have alot of stuff to put up, and to be honest, the only reason I don't is because the tedius process of submitting deviations... So~~~ I need a picture dump. You know what that is don't you? Hey! Put down that drink! If you didn't bring enough to share with the class you have to wait until schools out.

So it's up to you, yes you, to find me, that would be the Peddler of Smiles, a picture dump for my pictures, for me to dump them in and you to enjoy. Get it? Bam!

HERE IS MY HEAVY SUIT IN YOUR BATTLE TOURNAMNET~!

((Best red in the dark with a single flickering over head light swinging back and forth... and sagar smoke... which I don't smoke... so use your imagination))



You call us Barbiaians... Well... It is an honorable name.
We mean to cancle the world you civilised people made.
We will simply erase history from the time that machienery and weapons...
Threatened more then they offered.
And when you die,
The last living reminder of hell will be gone.


Gone...

(Update)
As for the virus bombing I took... in all, it took me over an hour to clean it all up.. the Maleware's still in my system. I can watch Zone Alarm as it shows my out bound bandwith use jumping to nearly a full bar, then returning to nothing.

I feel that this battle is unfortunetly far from over, and no ammount of scrubbing will ever make me feel safe on this computer again. ]]> ~MajorMoonie http://MajorMoonie.deviantart.com/journal/7361024/ http://MajorMoonie.deviantart.com/journal/7361024/ Thu, 29 Dec 2005 05:58:54 PST

Get them!

If you already have all three of these, send me a note with what times you usually have your gates open, your friend ID, name, and town name, and you just might get a visit from my avitar Dragoon.

If you don't have any of the above: Christmas is right around the corner, You -know- you wanna, and if there's no wireless connection around, go to [link] and look for Nintendo Wi-Fi hot spots in your area!

Yes, I'm playing Animal Crossing again, no this wont hinder ToDA stuff, I'll still write when I'm inspired to do so (And if anything AC inspires me ^_^). A fair warning though, I -don't- open my town gates. I'm not trusting, and there's nothing to really do in my town excpet terrorize it.

Hopefully I'll see some of you guys around? Maybe? Possibly?

Chao!
