I'm sure everyone, no matter what your profession/age/culture, has felt lost and low once or twice in their lifetime.

I can't exactly say I feel lost, if anything, I'm very much clear on what I want and how I should go about achieving it... but I am feeling incredibly low because I know I am not ready so I can't get there yet.
It's a silly notion really, thinking yourself inadequate or lacking but it is something we've all felt sometimes, especially when you are working really hard but the results are difficult to see.

I've had a Tumblr account for about a year now but I didn't really start using it until just last week ^^;

Given my lack of absence from DA recently because of the hiatus I'm on while I get my manga projets and new stuff sorted, you can follow me there if you'd like. I'm updating it regularly with my random sketches, tips, interesting things, progress updates and so on.

Also, Tumblr is a great place to ask me questions you may have about art in general given that it doesn't get buried alive in e-mails/notes/other comments and I will do my best to answer XD

So far, I've had to refund 26 missing posters and their postage cost and I really apologise for it taking this long to do so... it was a substantial amount of money which has taken me a long period of time to pay individually.

Is there anyone still out there who has not had a full refund on their missing poster?

If so, PLEASE get in touch with me again, either through a note here or my e-mail (Negshin@mitra-media.com), just state the amount you had paid and provide me with your paypal contact details.

In Persia we celebrate the first day of spring as our New Year. New Year in Persian is called "Noruz" which means "New Day". It was originally a Zoroasterian festival and it dates back to about 3,000 years [but they restarted the calender 1390 years ago]
The Persian calender is one of the oldest calendars in the world as well as the most accurate solar calendar in use today.

Still, the restarted calendar makes me around 650 years old which is always fun to say :XD:

Tonight is the Persian's winter solstice celebration, the longest night of the year referred to as Shab-e Yalda [Yalda's Night].

Yalda has lost its old religious connections over the years [derived from the Mitraism religion, believed to be the night that Mitra, the Persian deity of light and truth was born] but it still remains as a very significant cultural celebration.

That is the only way I can start this journal entry even though the words aren't nearly enough to cover my embarrassment or feelings of guilt right now.

This is proving to be a VERY costly mistake, money, time, energy and reputation wise.

YAY after all of that, everything is well now... and I've upped the page weight from 135gms to 170gms just for that more stable quality ^^
This was my choice and it does NOT affect your postage costs for those who have already ordered [paid already or not].

And just to clarify, the sale IS closed... this was just something I did to raise some funds, I didn't intend to continue it for long in the first place.

My first news post ever and I am writing it to start discussing the plans for a very special Christmas Masquerade Ball for all of the UK based deviants [or anyone else who can attend on the date XD]

The purpose of this post is to get a wider scope than my own journal entries to see how many people would be interested in attending the event as preparations are on the way and confirmations need to be made.

WOOT, I'm so happy to say that I WILL be attending London MCM [29th-31st October] this year again!

and I am even more excited to announce that I will be sharing a table with the amazingly wonderful Sah-chan [:iconSaharaam:] and Ten-chan [:iconEternal-S:] who are flying in to the U.K just for the occasion :heart:
How awesome is that :iconawwwplz:?
So it would be absolutely wonderful to meet everyone coming down to MCM... LOL just don't laugh at my poor attempts at making charms ^^;

Why is it that things never go the way I plan?

*sigh* just as I write to say that I am back and will hopefully be around more, life goes and throws me a curve ball... I actually ended up not having access to the internet for WEEKS. Needless to say, it was painful -__-
And I got slightly addicted to my mobile during that phase which I don't think was healthy ^^;

I will be in the city for the time being and have managed to make plans to attend what looks to be a great day out. For the full details and contacts please see here:

Hello everyone

Sorry for randomly dropping this on you guys but could I please ask for a few moments of your time to answer the questions in this survey I’m conducting for one of my university modules.

Please note that the first half of the survey, up to question 9 is aimed for those in the U.K ONLY!
To my international viewers, please don't respond to the first half and skip right to question 10 ^^

Also please note that you can't tick the boxes, so it would be probably a lot easier to just highlight the survey, copy it [Ctrl+C] and paste it int ]]> http://negshin.deviantart.com/journal/Daily-Deviations-and-Unreal-Life-226444825 http://negshin.deviantart.com/journal/Daily-Deviations-and-Unreal-Life-226444825 Wed, 05 May 2010 16:40:01 PDT Daily Deviations and Unreal Life nonadult journals/personal Negshin http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/n/e/negshin.jpg?1 Copyright 2010-2013 *Negshin @CreatorOfDoom At some forsaken hour in the morning for me, it was suddenly pointed out to me that I have a Daily Deviation on "Beautiful Imperfection":

Just the mere thought of that has made my very busy, tiring and oddly surreal day so much brighter.

I… honestly don’t know what to say. THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH :tighthug:

2009 was a great year for me even though it wasn't an easy one. So many changes occurred in my life and I had a lot to do but it made me realize/understand much that I had failed to notice before.

I don't really know what to say. The past week has been absolutely crazy, good kind of crazy but still crazy none the less.

I am totally overjoyed and completely overwhelmed by all the support that I have been getting from everyone on here. You humble me beyond words, they fail me in expressing my gratitude to you all so a simple 'Thank You' will have to suffice even though it doesn't quite cover everything that I feel.

I would have never imagined getting so many commission requests so quickly.

I love you all :iconhappytearsplz:

You all have my undying gratitude, thank you :tighthug:

Due to needing financial aid because life is just funny like that, I am finally open for taking commissions again.

Admittedly, given the complete and utter lack of time on my end, I was ill prepared for the event and didn’t really know what to expect but all of the little chaotic moments just made it more fun.

I'm just trying out Journal styles because I think it's about time I started making use of my subscription.
Also because I do plan on organizing my schedule so that I can be here more often, so yeah, best to try out these things now.
