In the kitchen this time.

It scared the crap out of me for a second to see and hear someone there; I thought someone broke in.

So this marks the third time I've spotted a black cloaked/hooded figure in that part of the house. Jeez. I got used to the child and semi-used to the shadows, but "Death" is tall enough that I keep mistaking him/her for an intruder.

I should learn to draw ghosts; I'd never run out of material.







I hate that I'm starting to sound nutty. At least others have seen and heard the exact same things I have, so I know I haven't gone mad.

I've been alone all day; my girlfriend is with her friend who shares the same birthday as me (I wish I was there with them D: ), I haven't seen my best friend since May (I just barely got a hold of her on msn an hour ago), and I've lost contact with most of my friends since college started.

So yeah. Not the best of birthdays.

But at least it's raining. I love rain. And I have curry to eat. And I talked to a guy friend I used to be very fond of but sort of lost frequent contact with. (Lina, I'm referring to Tweak. There's no threat.) And I received money to go toward getting a tablet!

Oh how I love the rain.

And oh how I love my latest sketch. I'm proud of the legs and rears/nether regions, even if the art is rather craptastic.

So, tomorrow night, I'll be headed to Amsterdam, and then Sweden.

I have to admit... I don't think I've ever been this afraid of flying. I'll be on a trans-Atlantic flight for over 10 hours, and it's scaring me horribly. I keep having thoughts of the way the pit of your stomach drops out when falling from very high, and I get nervous. I'm so scared that I won't be around two days from now.

I try to keep my mood up and not think about it, but with every passing hour, I just fear it worse.

Sigh. Wish me luck?

If all goes well, I'll just be rabid with the need to run a mile or so when I get off the plane in Amsterdam, and when I reach my destination in Sweden, I'll gnaw on my girlfriend's arm and foam at the mouth, and they'll take me out back behind the barn and shoot me.

xD In other words, I have a hard time sitting still for long periods of time, and get very twitchy by the end of it.

I still haven't packed D8 Or finished putting together the flashdrive with my girlfriend's Christmas present D8 *panics*

I do have my brand new golden Nintendo DS with a Triforce on it ready to go! 8D

Wish me luck with all this. I promise to have at least one art to post when I get back... or while I'm there. I'll also update in January with a better version of the art I'm about to submit.

See you in January!

I'll be able to make real digital arts if I get that. Oh god, do I want it. my art demands PS coloring.



And in Other news. My girlfriend and I are going to try out a webcomic. It's just a little think involving child-versions of our OC's, who we plan to make a comic for someday. Paradox much? xD

I'm not very intelligent right now; I'm sorry. I've been battling a bad cold all week, and I think the constant fevers have left my mildly braindamaged for the time being. It'll mend when the cold is gone and my voice returns, I suspect.

But for now, I'm a confused, dense, froggy sounding guy whose voice cracks so much he swears he's going through puberty again.



And fun is had by all.

*still has arms up* :D; And now I have to unpack *arms wilt a little*

Well. Something I never got the chance to write because of the fires erasing my corner of California from the map: I had an amazing dream that gave me a set of OCs and inspired me with a plot that literally made me make a 8D face. I have some drawings from it :x

I don't really want to post them though, since they're nice drawings and all, but I'm having trouble drawing the characters properly. That, and there is a war being waged in my head over them.

In the dream, everyone looked normal, but in the latter half, the main character had pointy ears :l; So I'm having trouble deciding whether everyone should have long/pointy, or round/human ears :l;;; I may have found a solution, but I'm still working on it all.

Also, I'm trying to rewrite my telling of my dream into story form to be posted here or something :3

Anyway, that's all.

Seriously, I am.

But, sans drawing breasts and perhaps cars, I'm not sure how to "man" up my art /:l

I'm trying to get away from the "cute", but it's not working well, as you can see. I used to draw less like a girl, but my god; I drew in a style so similar to that of Jhonen Vasquez that thinking about it now makes me feel ill. Horribly ill.

As soon as I tried anime, and then, after that, drawing more proportionately/anatomically correct, I started drawing ..... "cute".

And hell. I know being (at one time) known for chibis doesn't help, but because they were comprised of simple geometric shapes beneath the details; they were quick and demanded far less effort than actually drawing would. So I drew them to make a quick buck. Gaia Gold. Whatever.

Honestly though. When you look at art, you can often tell the gender of the artist because of the style. I look at cutesy anime, and still generally know when a guy drew it. Yet my art sends off the 10-year-old girl vibe.

I'd like to draw like a 19-year-old guy (or a geek-punk lesbian, because that = WIN xD), not a little pigtailed maiden of 10 who wants a pony. ... Or, no... girls now days develop faster. At 10, they have breasts 8l Ok, so, I draw like an 8-year-old girl with pigtails, who wants a pony.

......Ok.....I'm going to shun my old watchers (they don't like me anymore anyway, methinks, since they stopped commenting the moment I posted something in my normal art-style xD;;) and draw breasts :l Oh yeah *flex* Breasts.... and a car.... or no. A Harley. My big, black dream-hog :'< Oh Harley, how I want you so.

And I will draw men on steroids, because my femme guys are as girly as my art style :l *flex*

Anyhow.

No, I don't know why I've been posting journals obsessively. I take it as a good thing though, since I killed my greatestjournal after like 20 posts, and my lj died after one (both of them being about 4 years dead by now). I'd go there again... but I forgot my user name. I remember my password, but not my user name. Yeah.

Anyhow II, son of Anyhow I, changer of subjects.

What I came to say is that I drew up a new header and footer for this, to replace the old, out-dated ones I removed about 5-6 entries ago. They're of myself of course (and my god do I look ghey), and after thinking about it a little, I'm dying to turn them into one of those pixel IDs in the current fad. 'Course, by the time I'd finish one of those, the fad would be long gone :<

So yeah. I figure I'll just try my hand at cg'ing the two sketches and make my DA journal spiffy. I wish I had a mouse D': I have a broken, second-hand tablet that makes the cursor have seizures that go grand mal when you click, leading to many mis-clicked links, closed FireFox tabs, and generally spastic lines on drawings. Like in cartoons (old ones) when the women put lipstick on in the car and end up with a jagged red line squiggled all over their face. Yeah. That's what my cg looks like thanks to the tablet. I work so much better with a mouse, but we don't have one, and the wireless mouse that came with the tablet is even worse than the pen Dx ...Hm, or even better, I wish I had a new tablet D'x

Also, the first time I ever drew a character's facial reference sheet (with the disembodied heads looking in different directions and wearing various expressions), it was for me. Wth xD

Lemon thinks that Lime should host a Sweets-themed sleepover with Strawberry on Christmas eve. It would be a sweet gift, especially with Coffee's Choice, and Lemon and Lime could perhaps have Cherry Pie. Lemon could also bring some Banana Splits to the party. Lemon is craving some Raspberry Gumdrops; Lime should be sure to bring them out as appetizers. Maybe Lemon and Lime could make it a costume party. Oh, and perhaps Lemon and Lime could also cook with a Rhubarb and Cake theme, or something to do with Grapes. What goes good with Grapes, Lemon wonders? Angel-food cake maybe? Or Coffee? Or Devils-food cake? Scalding Coffee and a Croissant would be nice too. Or Lemon and Lime could amp up the ghey with a medley of Kitty-Shaped-Suckers, Rainbow Lollipops, and Rock-Candy-Sticks.

Lemon is being laughed at by a Rock-Candy-Stick.

Lemon doesn't know what it said that was so funny, though Rock-Candy is crude and tends to find its preferred kind of humor in almost anything.

I've been running a free art thread on Gaia because there's an even going on right now, and it's tradition for me.

Which mean I have a sea of sketches to post soon enough, when the event ends of course. I have 18 to work on right now Dx

And those who offended me, whose avatars I don't like, who never spoke to me in my thread, or who requested them, shall be getting chibis to save me time and effort.

I got a flood of page-views when I created this account and posted Gaia-commish-chibis. I'm about to do it again. I wonder what will happen .o.

Is it wrong that my ego inflated when a Gaia site moderator and a mod assistant requested art? Or when they complimented my art? [/ego trip]

Yeah. I dug up some old Prismacolor colored pencils of mine from years ago, 2/3 of them yet to be sharpened, and decided to play with them. I sharpened them all to deadly levels with the gheyest of ghey pencil sharpeners (It's a little train with Hello Kitty on it :l Yes. I -was- made fun of for having it in grade school. The dang thing works like it's the god of all pencil sharpeners though, so I don't dare convert. Even if it's ghey).

If I don't pass out the moment I log off the computer and throw myself on my bed, I may post a WIP (IN COLOR D8) tomorrow morning. The dang thing's still a sketch, and I never drew in the bottom halves properly, but hey, 03:00 am is when I am sometimes gifted with mad art skills, so I may just create a masterpiece tonight. If I don't pass out as previously mentioned, of course.

And... I've noticed something. Once upon a time, I resorted to drawing quick, shoddy chibi-like drawings as commissions on Gaia. I posted them here, and got a ton of watchers, favs, etc. Well, the chibis were meant to be quick, easy, and lazy, but once they became more of a chore than something to pass time, I stopped drawing them, and went on to posting my real art, not half-assed things (though I suppose the recent diet of sketches could be considered half-assed /:D I can't afford new pens Dx And I'm lazy Dx And inking ruins my art because I always mess up! *excuses*). Ever since then, my watches dropped off, my favs dropped off, and my old watchers stopped commenting or (from what I've guessed) even looking at my art. If I come here tomorrow and assault the site with sickening amounts of chibi-cuteness, will I be loved again? I want to be loved for my real art, not something I did out of boredom that I grew to hate.

And...Horrible as it is... I'm about to post a new and improved chibi. xl It was drawn on a Post-It note and was for my own pleasure, so I actually like it, unlike my first submissions to this site.

So yeh. I'm applying to a different college, and got in. I unofficially dropped out of my old one because I was having issues that a councelor/advisor there said were signs of depression. That coupled with the fact that I was forced into going to that school by a program that lied to all its participants, made me feel as if I had no purpose being there.

So, I'm going to go to a different school until I can go back to that old one and fix my grades. Don't ditch, kiddies!

It's all a mess.

But whatever. I'm happy at this time in my life, and the school I'll be going to is the same one everyone from my highschool (if they didn't "I'm not going to college! I have a JOB *works at Burger King*" or "I'm not going to college! I have a BOYFRIEND") goes to, so I won't feel so alienated I think. That was an issue at my previous university. Everyone in my classes, miraculously enough, already knew most everyone else (even though the school population was about 33,000), and they'd sit in circles around me so I wouldn't be able to talk to anyone. People these days. I swear.

So, for the next two days, I have some appointment and things to go to to make sure I can enroll in this new college, even though I was admitted.

I hope one of the appointments doesn't run too long; I'm supposed to go kayaking with a few girls D: What guy would want to miss that *idiot*

Anyhow, I'm not sure, but I think I have a few sketches I can upload here after I dig through my thousand or so unchecked devwatch messages 8l

Mood: Crying Upset
Listening to: Kill Hannah: Lips like Morphine

Once upon a time, a boy named RLO had a mildly successful art shop on Gaia. Things were going well and he was gaining popularity. Then, one day as Spring rolled around, his computer came down with a nasty cold.

"Oh no!" cried RLO, "How will I send out the art if my computer is broken?!"

RLO patiently waited for months so he could save up for a new computer, loosing all of his loyal customers in the process.

Then, one fine July day, a knight in shining armor came and swept up not RLO, but his computer, and awakened the sleeping beauty.

RLO rejoiced, but the art would still have to wait; RLO was going on a quest to a place of learning soon.

More months passed, and when RLO returned to his computer, art in hand ready to scan, something strange happened.

"Virus Found" the guards said.

RLO grew worried and asked the guards to chase away the attacker. After they did so, RLO awoke his beloved computer once more, but what's this? Error noises, failed loggins, windows trying to scan 'missing' discs?

"Not again!" RLO wailed as he fell to his knees. "Why me?!"

RLO then went and posted a story-book style journal on his favorite art site while his computer coughed and twitched at odd times.

Though he didn't want to say goodbye, he was afraid that this would be the last time he'd be able to log in until he either found a witch doctor to heal his computer, or he found a new PC.

RLO shed a tear for the art shop that would likely never again see life before donning his traveling cloak and stalking off into the night.

In short, my computer must have digital AIDS and keeps lapsing toward death. I think I may just have to get a new PC, which means I'd have to go out and get a job to save up for it, which means I won't be comming around here very often. If I can do that whole 'witch doctor' thing though, my hiatus will be a short one.

Watching: Alice in Wonderland

So... tomorrow at 8am, I start my very first day of college. Needless to say, I'm both excited, and horrendously nervous. I have so many quiestions, but none of them can be answered. Will it be hard? Will I be assigned work on the first day? Will I get lost on the huge campus? Will I be able to get a job on campus? Will I make new friends?

It feels so different from high school. I mean, I'm diving headlong into this, ALONE. No classes with friends or saying hello to people in the halls, or even walking with someone you know. I'll be alone to go to classes, to have lunch, to do anything, and that's kind of scary. To be completely alone in a school of over 30,000 people (approximately). D:

Last year at Comic-Con, I hovered around the Nintendo booth (in a Link costume) for the majority of my time there (I even got to play Twilight Princess demos and got special gifts from the Nintendo people for the fact that I was in costume).

It looks like this year, it will be Vo and Lanzer filing a restraining order against me for staking out the Gaia booth.

*squee*

Alright, fan-obsession aside, I'm late for Con today, and missed the entire day yesterday because both my mother and one of my dogs are ill, but since that's pretty much been sorted out, Comic-Con, here I come.

Mood: Excited OMG

Tempted. So very..very tempted. O_< *twitch*

So yeh, saw the Pirates of the Caribbean movie about a week ago. I lurved it. Jack's last scene in the movie was awesome.

Agh, the temptation to give spoilers! D:>

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Anywho...

I won't be around for the next week or two. I have to clean house (bleh) before I head off to the San Diego Comic-Con. I wish I had a booth there, but I'm so unknown it would be a waste xD;

Hm... I have a Midsummer Night's Dream Resolution: I must make myself well-known either by increasing the frequency of my art posts or by actually starting one of the web comics I've thought up ._.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And in other news: ...OMG Jack Sparrow totally ::bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep::

Mood: Unimpressed Whut
Watching: The Road to El Dorado

I still can't get the hang of photoshop, but with my discovery of vectors, I may improve some. I'm struggling to ink a drawing in PS, and although I know it would be so much easier to do by hand with my beloved pens, I really want to venture into the realm of color one of these days, and that would mean mastering PS.

What sucks about my epic quest to figure this all out is that when I talk to the townspeople they give hints that would only be useful if I knew what I was doing. I guess I should have read all that story text in the beginning. Ah, but elders are so badly pixelated! They're not fun to look at and their dialogue is so badly translated!

Ok, I have no idea what I'm talking about anymore. o_o;;

Bottom line is: the tutorials around here seem too advanced, so I'm going to have to learn this all on my own. :<

Mood: Paranoid Paranoid
Listening to: Some random anime music on a disc a friend gave me

So, today I, in all my newbie-ness, discovered that people can download my art/writing to their desktops. Mostly my writing. Only my writing. Forget the art.

Here's what's so curious about this phenomena: The writing has no views and no comments (well, part 1 has one blank comment), but someone has downloaded all 5 parts to their desktop.

The scenario in my mind goes like this:

Random person: "Hmm... I like the way this is written. *snatch* ...Mine now." >:D

(( Off-topic: My GOD the cicadas outside are distracting. I didn't even know there were cicadas around here. o_O; ))

Anyway, if the mysterious downloader is actually one of my watchers, and you're reading this (and you're NOT stealing my writing), let me know so I can stop worrying. ^^;

On another note: I finally figured out how to put the header and footer on my journals. Yes, I am dense at times. xD

Well, not exactly.

I didn't have my computer for a week or two while it was being fixed, and during that time, I stayed at the homes of numerous friends. It kept me occupied, cured my Gaia addiction, made me miss my best online buddy, and got me addicted to Sims. I have also lost my sketchbook. xD;

I (along with my shiny new sketchbook) am now drawing a lovely picture of an RP character from a zombie RP on Gaia (screw rehab; I WANT to be addicted), and as soon as I post it there, I'll give you all a glimpse at it.

Strange though... I wasn't aware that having prolonged artists block and no computer could change my art style. o_O; ]]> *RLODreamy Did everyone get this message? :D? http://RLODreamy.deviantart.com/journal/8946653/ http://RLODreamy.deviantart.com/journal/8946653/ Fri, 02 Jun 2006 02:50:50 PDT :D

Anyway, I was just wondering if every non-subscriber got a message saying that they would have a free seven day subscription, or if it's some sort of random thing that just happened to me. Either way, yay.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

On another note, I haven't been posting art because my computer is viral and gets angry with me if I spend too much time editing things I scan. I'll fix it during the summer and then post all my backed up art.

DOES ANYONE EVEN READ MY JOURNALS? >.>;;

xD;

I had to deal with my single college application (I got accepted thankfully. Dreamy gets to go to college for free 'cos he's smart. *dance*).

My grandmama had heart surgery, but she's ok now.

My Drama teacher's granddaughter died because they couldn't find a liver for her in time, and I went to her funeral, where my spiritual beliefs were shattered. Seriously, I'm a bit of an athiestic-pagan if you will, but after that funeral, I'm a bit frightened. Well, it was about the time that we held a moment of silence (the Jewish family and Cristian guests prayed) before lowering the tiny pink casket into the ground. Just as the moment came to a close, but before the Rabbi (I think) spoke again, the sky, which had been mildly cloudy but sunny, went completely black and a violent gust of wind tore through the croud around the gravesite for approximately two minutes. Then, as suddenly as it had come, the wind stopped and the sun came out. Well, I was tempted to write it off as coincidence, but it rattled me a bit, so that was hard to do. Anyhow, as we were getting into the car to leave the cemetery, a huge, brilliant rainbow slowly arced its way across the sky. The overly Cristain girl we were giving a ride to was praising her god in the back seat, shushing me when I wondered aloud if it was just a coincidence, and gushing about having seen one of her god's miracles in her lifetime. I grew annoyed at her, as did the rest of our little carpool, but it still got me to thinking about whether or not there really is something out there. Questioning your spirituality = Not fun.

I've been kept up all night on a few occaisions; questioning my sexuality and gender identity. Questioning sexuality = Not fun.

I haven't been doing my homework in three of my classes. Why?
-Spanish: I can't take teachers seriously when they're dumber than me. RLO = Top 12% of his class. Teacher = Special ED student when he was in school. I sound mean when I say this, I know, but if you sat through one of his classes, you'd agree with me- he doesn't understand the subject he's teaching. He's just a substitute through the rest of the year because the real teacher had some family problems to attend to. This sub barely knows Spanish.
-Economics: No excuse. I just don't do homework in social science classes.
-Chemistry: Library was closed and I couldn't get my hands on a textbook.

So now I have to make all of that work up, but it's too late for this grading period. I'll have three Fs on my progress report. Oh well, they'll be As by year's end.

I also haven't had time to scan my 20-or-so commissions for people on Gaia. *is ditching school today to do that*

So, yes, RL is killing RLO. *laughs at own stupid joke*
Stress = Not fun. ]]> *RLODreamy Huh? Who? Me? http://RLODreamy.deviantart.com/journal/7904339/ http://RLODreamy.deviantart.com/journal/7904339/ Wed, 15 Feb 2006 08:13:39 PST ~

Finally got that dang link to work in my e-mail... *bitchbitchrant*

I've only ever heard terrible things about this site, but aside from the glitch with my confirmation e-mail, it seem fine to me (besides, some of my favorite artists post here :3 )

If you hate my art, fine. It's my art, I love it, and I'm proud of it. (And I get paid for it) So if the stories I've heard about harsh/cruel criticism, coldness, lack of compassion, and the stories of people only getting only 50 pageviews in two years- no matter how much they post or how good their art is- are true, so be it. I'll still post my art.

And with that, I end my "Hello, I'm new!" journal.
