I suffer from a disease called: I-Finish-Books-Too-Damn-Fast. I bought a book on Tuesday and, well...finished it yesterday. I'm waiting for a certain set of Star Wars books to go to paperback, so until then I have nothing to read. Share with me your favorite book series (or just favorite book in general) and lemme know what it's about. I could sure use something good and fun to read and will gladly take your input. Many thanks!

So here's the story: I signed onto Steam with the intent to buy L4D2 on Black Friday (sales, sales, sales!) and was super excited that they had a bundle pack--L4D and L4D2. For an unbeatable price. Friggin' sweet, right? Right! Sooo...I go to reinstall Steam when...my computer shits on the install midway and dares to claim that there were internal issues, meaning that I cannot install Steam onto my computer. WwwwhhhAAAAaaaTTttttt!?!?! Who died and made you god of computers? Gimme my damned zombies!! ZOMBIES!!!

Well, that bout of anger aside I at least got some good reading material: Death Troopers. It was my perfect cup of tea, heated just right with the right amount of honey! A Star Wars book that's a friggin' horror novel. Hells yes! If you like Star Wars, and if you like blood and thrills of the scary and gruesome kind then pick up a copy of Death Troopers. You will not be disappointed.

Also, I finally decided to get a current gen system. Finally. I'm going to buy myself a PS3. For the longest time I was being tugged on between PS3 and 360. Well, finally PS3 won me over...but sadly I cannot afford a backwards compatible one. Good thing I still have a working slim PS2. I love it to pieces still, but its time to get with the times so I can enjoy all the new games out there and not just read the reviews and the like. First up, Force Unleased: Ultimate Sith Edition, here I come.

1) First list all your OCs by name:

1) Yokoto
2) Man’essin
3) Yohei
4) Teilos
5) Benjamin
6) Kyoya
7) Laeraesa
8) Satoshi
9) Ara’Miake
10) Hikari


2) Who is your favorite OC?

Man’essin; also known as Spectre.

3) Who is your least favorite?

He didn’t make it on this list. Lucky bastard.

4) Who is your most developed?

Both Yoko and Spectre are equally developed, but I’d have to say Yoko is a little more fleshed out because his story was a little less…epic.

5) Which OC would you want to date if they magically came to life?

Sasshi!

6) How many girl OCs do you have? Boy OCs? It OCs?

Quite a few actually, but out of the list theres 3. I have many male characters too, and genderless ones…rarely make it into a story and sadly don’t last long enough to be remembered.

7) If you were stuck in a burning building what do you think the third OC on your list would do?

Well…she would run circles and cry for a few minutes before finally calling an ambulance and cheering on my burnt corpse. “Hang in there! Don’t die!”

8) Name one thing you regret about one of your OCs.

Yoko’s name. It’s so girly, but it was picked with good intentions. His name would be written with the kanji for ‘(to be) beside’. But his name drove me to such shame that I altered it to what it is now; true story.

9) Which of your OCs do you think would make the best father/mother/it parent out of all your OCs and why??

It’s hard to say, because many of them have the potential for it, some better than others. In fact, a few on the list were parents at one point (Spectre & Laeraesa & even Yoko in some alternate stories). I can tell you people who WON’T be a good parent on that list: TEILOS! In fact, don’t ever allow him NEAR children!

10) Which of your OCs do you think will most likely be put in jail?

See above mentioned non-parent material.

11) The eighth of your OCs was put into the future! What will their job be?!?

He’d still have a job as a spirit medium, only he’d use it in an interesting detective/bounty hunter kind of way. He cracks down future justice with dead people!

12) Name the first OCs catch phrase!

“There’s a monster inside me…”

13) Do all your OCs live together or are they separated?

They all live in my brain. Does that count? Many of them come from different stories, and many have their own cameos in others, but OOC they all kinda annoy me in one place. Fun.

14) Are there any pairings that are in your OC list? (they can't be with someone else's)

Pssh, fuck no.

15) Your seventh OC switched bodies with you for a day! How will they react at the end of the day?

Like it never happened. Laeraesa is a character that most represents me. She’s a nutcase who likes chocolate and bread, sits around, reads and draws all day. But I’m sure she would love the reprieve away from the being that is Spectre (they’re both in the same story).

16) Your last OC just became a fifteen year old. What do they do?

A downgraded Hiki would stare wistfully into the window of a comic book store, wishing his parents could give him his allowance just a little bit early for the latest issue of ‘The Super Awesome Living Dead…2’!

17) Now randomly select a person on your OC list. Who was it?

Ben-Ben!

18) That OC you just chose? Yeah they think they are superman (even if they are a girl) and are on the roof about to jump off.

Pssh, he’s naïve and gentle, but he ain’t that fuckin’ dumb. Even if he were piss drunk he would just sit at the edge of the building discussing pros and cons with the air before finally settling for a nap.

19) Are any of your OCs bored of this meme?

Satoshi is. He’s dreadfully impatient.

20) Would your second OC prefer the beach or the mountains?

Mountains. Spectre would prefer hiking to swimming any day. He’s not the best swimmer.

21) Would your 5th OC battle a shark?

Don’t make me laugh, please. Unless Ben was pushed in there with no way out put to kill said shark he wouldn‘t do that. He’d win, actually.

22) Which OCs hate each other?

None of them on this list. Sorry.

23) Which OC did you create first? And last?

From this list, Spectre is my oldest, and the most recently created would poss... ]]> ~Re-DEE-Mer http://Re-DEE-Mer.deviantart.com/journal/28421974/ http://Re-DEE-Mer.deviantart.com/journal/28421974/ Tue, 17 Nov 2009 19:39:35 PST
But what about the ANIMAL zompocalypse!? I mean, we're more than prepared for human zombies, but what about the animal zombies?! Zombie kittens, Zombie puppies, Zombie ponies! I mean, what are we to do? Those f*ckers don't stumble around I bet. Everyone, we need to stand together, put our thinking hats on and devise strategies against these dangerous menaces!

Last Friday I decided to care for a tiny kitten that my sister's room mate had taken in. He was found in a trash can, unwanted, but since students can't keep animals in their dorms I decided to lend a hand. He's a tiny little pale orange hellion, but he's super sweet when he's sleeping. He's so young though that he still needs formula from time to time.

Baby animals take sooooo much care and attention. Every morning now I wake up earlier, play with the kitten, fix his breakfast while making my own, etc. I feel so bad leaving him alone at home while I'm at work, and when I get home he's so rowdy. Ugh, this fills any and all child quotas I may have had for the rest of my life. As soon as he's socialized with the older cat in the house he'll be able to run about and I'll be able to draw some again without the kitten attack my hand every two seconds.

I just let him draw on it. Cracked me up real good.

Clone Wars Season 2!! Whooo--uh, I mean. Mom's Birthday, whooo! Happy Birthday Mom, and Happy Clone Wars day to all my fellow nerds. Alright haters, start your booing. I don't give a fuck. EWOKS ruined Star Wars for ME! Now I can laugh and enjoy anything Star Wars, like a true fan!

Anyways, I got my artbook in, and Okami. Oh precious, beautiful game that is Okami! I missed you! I seriously can't wait for its sequel, Okamiden. Cute points will be flying off the chart with that game. How can I possibly top such cuteness? Damn you Capcom! ...and Thank you!

Good News for KDF Aru
My Luts Aru will have a new home very soon. She ships out in November when the final payment is made. I'm so happy for her!

Bad News for Me
Why the fuck can't I have any luck in finding a dog!! It's like somebody up there doesn't want me to have one. Every dog I DO like is elsewhere, too far for me, or is socialized poorly (meaning it isn't other dog/cat friendly) Fuuuuuuuck, so much for rescuing a dog. Puppies are too expensive...not to mention time consuming, but that looks like the only route. Uugh, will this dog fever ever end!?! D:

Clone Wars
Who likes it? Who dislikes it? Anybody else as curious to Season 2 as I am? I'm excited to see if they've gotten any better as far as animation/story/etc. goes. What I always love to see is progression in on-going work. I think they got enough hype from the younger crowds, and they for sure must've beefed up their team at LucasFilm to haul ass...or, you know, worked their current staff to death. Poor guys and gals. I've been meaning to apply to LucasFilm for some time but...I don't have the courage...

Arts?
I can't tell if my style of art is okay or downright fugly these days. Well, anyways, I was thinking about restarting commissions again pretty soon, so those lookin' to get something done by yours truly, keep your eyes open for more news! Also: if I sold prints of my work would anybody buy them?

Expect more art from me soon. Though I'm sadly in a fan-artsy mood this week.


KDF Aru Still Looking for Good Home
This is some doll news. I have an official thread up in DOA (Den of Angels) but I still feel like advertising it here too. I'm selling my normal skin KidDelf Aru. Her condition is amazing, and I'm selling her for $250. She'll come with a lovely face-up, a set of 16mm eyes and undies. Oh yeah, original box and pillows are a must of course. If you or anybody you know is looking into getting a pretty little MSD girl then shoot me a note!

]]> ~Re-DEE-Mer http://Re-DEE-Mer.deviantart.com/journal/26956486/ http://Re-DEE-Mer.deviantart.com/journal/26956486/ Tue, 01 Sep 2009 12:15:09 PDT Doll News
I'm selling a Luts Kid Delf Aru. It isn't that I don't love her, but I realized that the character I wanted to make at the time needed to be a much smaller size. So yeah, I intend to downsize Kisa, but I can't do that until current Aru-Kisa is gone from here. I'll put up a proper for sale thing eventually, but for now this will have to do. She's a normal skin and she lives in a smoke-free environment. She's also been exposed to the sun for a grand total of 30 minutes, and so she is practically still brand-spanking new! She would come with a lovely face-up, a set of acrylic 16mm eyes (random color, and super cute polka-dot panties! Of course, she still has her original box and pillows so that is naturally included. I'm putting her price at $250.00 USD. If anybody is interested please shoot me a Note. If you all happen to know anybody who COULD be interested, let 'em know! She's really a beauty, and she deserves a great home.


From Older Entry
And there's a severe lack of art because of it. However, once I get everything set back up for my PC at home (is typing from work) I'm sure they'll be more to come! ...uh...maybe even AFTER I get settled in first. My room mates and I have a looooot of unpacking to do, but it'll be fun. A new home is always great since it means a whole new threshold to pass, and it means redecorating!

So yeah, they will be art up, eventually, I swear!!

I'm actually looking to get myself a pet. A dog more specifically. Growing up, I was more of a cat person, but I'm really looking forward to a dog adding some dynamic to my life. They're basically substitute children, lol. More than anything I would like to own a shiba inu, and I've been looking at adoption centers and rescue shelters left and right but...no luck for me at all. There have been a few nationwide rescues that I am willing to get from, but the downside to that is that the dog would be so far away from me and I wouldn't get to meet him/her until she was finally ready to be taken home. I really want a dog though...a pet would be a great commitment to have.

To all those living in the Bay Area: Help me find shelters/adoption centers so I can look to bring home a fluffy companion!

Scratch that, it's been very interesting since graduation. It's strange how much freedom you have, and yet how much a stranger I feel whenever I pass by the AI now, haha. Right after my mom left (she came out for about two weeks to witness my graduation) my little sister flew out here to study Media Arts and Animation. I wish her well and the best of luck!

As for me I've been looking for places to apply and work at. I've had a few interviews, and just the other day I had gotten a call following up on one of them. As of tomorrow I start working for a small start-up company making web games and the like. For the next few months I'll be freelance, but I hope to have a full-time position in the near future. Still; a job already!! Whoo!

Aaaand, as if news couldn't get any better. I GOT TO EAT MELON BREAD!! Yes, my long-time food obsession, the ever elusive dai ichi pan, was in my clutches. I found it at this amazing Asian convenience store while I was out in the city; bless that place. Not only was the packaging cute, but it was actually very tasty! That made my week! My only regret is that I bought one...and ate it the moment I got home. That's not counting the noodles I had, or the crepes, and other snacks. D: ...I'm such a pig.

I'm a graduate. Done with school. Forever. O_O ...gee, now what?

Well, time to go job hunting, improve my demo reel and keep working on making my art worlds better, and Full Moon Manor. Right now friends and family are over visiting, but as soon as all that has settled down I'll be able to focus on all that jazz. Maybe even reopen some commission business.

...I'm still getting used to the fact that it's oveeeeerrrrr. Anyway, s'all I have to say. Time to get off the computer and enjoy the freedom.

.::ATTENTION DOLL OWNERS::.
Anyway, on to sobering news. I've realized that Kisa and I aren't bonding, which breaks my heart, but I'm hoping to downsize her and make her a tiny instead of an MSD--it may fit her better, at least the personality I wanted to project. Downsizing aside I'm going to need to sell her. With any luck the money that I get from her MSD self will be saved for her tiny self, but...I'm also in a terrible pinch for money now and I need to make sure I can make rent. Though really I would love to have that extra money for her again...guh! Now that I've made it an official notice here I better get ready to accept the fact.

So if any of you doll owners out there know of anybody (or if you yourself) have any interests in a KidDelf Aru Normal skin then be sure to shoot me a private message. She's only been outside once for a total of a half hour, she's only a couple months old, flawless, living in a smoke-free environment, and comes with a cute little face-up, possibly her undies and a pair of acrylic eyes. Just thought I'd mention the offer before making a more professional one up in Den of Angels.

It's my final quarter at AI and I can't think of a single thing to talk about. Got my demo reel mostly fixed up and ready for rendering, got my website plotted out, got my business card and my DVDs and 2d portfolio.
And yet I feel like I haven't gotten shit done. Augh!! I really don't feel worth anything right now...
I know, this is the first time I've ever ranted like a pansy on DA, but I got sick and tired of lookin' at an old journal every time I'm fixin' something on my page. Sigh...I don't feel I'm ready for anything anymore. There are so many people out there better than me--at everything; even BREATHING. I'm not looking for pity, so don't even bother with a pick-me-up. I'm just going to plow into my work again...

I hope to bring out some more pretty things for everyone to enjoy. No more emo-rants from me; promise.

So yesterday my second doll got in. I was so excited! Still am; because she's a beautiful little thing. Kisa is hoooooome! Whoo! She doesn't have a face-up yet, but she will have one soon. Once she does (and once I find my camera's batteries) I'll be sure to take some pictures of this lovely new little star. Seriously though, everyone in this house went gaga over her--cute sculpt, great poser...what's not to love? Kisa is a 41cm KidDelf Aru, and she was actually my first dream doll funny enough. In the near future--hopefully within the next year--I hope to get my first big 60-65cm doll, but that won't be until I am very financially stable. They're expensive as ****.

Guh! I'm nosebleeding all over the place because of this new little girl. She's the only girl in this whole household of dolls so she's been spoiled rotten, lol. Until her clothes get in she's been stealing Yoko and Orian's stuff. They don't seem to mind. Oh, but she's do damned beautiful, even without a face-up. I can already tell that her personality is a polar opposite of my shy-guy Yoko. She screams bubbly and sweet, capable of making friends with everyone! The little strawberry of the house! Now, if only she could SMELL like a strawberry, lol.

Holy Sh*t

Whoo, I survived the weekend in Austin, Texas. I'm still amazed with myself. Traveling to new places never ceases to amaze me, but living so close to a densely populated city like San Fransisco has me spoiled. I'm expecting good eats around every corner. Now, Autsin's the place to be if you wanna get drunk and listen to live bands all night, but it's not my kind of place for eating (my favorite pastime). All in all I would say that it's a lovely place. I would have liked to spend more time out there without a major agenda, maybe have a friend or two with me. Oh, and a car. Most definitely a car.

So yes, ScreenBurn at SxSW. HUGE convention and a great place to make networks. It was mostly geared towards web designers and film makers and musicians, but they are trying to cater some things towards gamers, which is good. I only went there with one agenda: present my very best to the panel of judges and a live audience at the Casual Game Design Finals. I did. I did my very best--those who know me to be a bit of a nervous public speaker would be amazed! Guess I'm a good public speaker after all. Well, unfortunately my team's game design did not win, but I know without a doubt in my mind that we came so close. You win some, and you lose some. But I'm going to keep getting up and make sure that people know of our game. It wasn't a matter of trophies or prizes to me--I simply wanted to get home with good news for my team, because they deserved it.

Now that I've hit the ground running again, it's good to be home. I realized that I sorely need a laptop again for emergency travel, should NOT forget the house keys (fortunately everyone was home), should not drive with equally directionally retarded people at night, & that I enjoyed competing. I look forward to doing it again. Maybe next time I'll win; I can feel it. Noooow, it's time to slave over finals... *gulp*

NEW UPDATE--3/14/09--
Developers Blog for our game, Full Moon Manor, can be found here: [link]


Character Meme Time Again!!
NOTE: This is so much more hiliarious if you number characters first and THEN look at the questions...

1. Yokoto (Better Days edit.)
2. Chrysanthemum (Crys; vampy edit.)
3. Spectre
4. Kyoya
5. Ku'ei
6. Satoshi
7. Kisa
8. Teilos
9. Laeraesa
10. Seiko

I. Seven (Kisa) and Eight (Teilos) plan a heist. What sort of heist might that be?
They rob a fancy store filled with pretty dresses. It was all Teilos' idea--he wanted more pretty dresses for Kisa...

II. Four (Kyoya) gets kidnapped! Is One (Yoko) or Nine (Laeraesa) the more likely culprit?
Yoko did it. It's always the quiet ones...

III. Six (Satoshi) challenges Five (Ku'ei) to a chess game. What happens?
It's a battle of the brains! And law of stupidity states that Ku'ei wins because of his negative IQ... (Just kidding Ku'ei, but you'd be bad at chess)

IV. Who doesn't like to play Pokemon? I bet Ten (Seiko) has some great Pokemon! What are they?
He'd have a whole batch from the original Pokemon Red and Blue...

Seiko: A whole army of Pikachus!! The GRAND ARMY OF PIKACHU!!

V. How does Three (Spectre) like to gussy up for a date?
Showers to guarantee a good smell, styles up hair, dresses awesome, sharpens sword, brushes teeth, end.

VI. Five (Ku'ei) and Two (Crys) take a leisurely vacation together. Where do they go?
Ku'ei would take Crys to the beach. It's nice and sunny there, so Crys just turns to ash while Ku'ei laughs--finding it funny.

Ku'ei: LOL, good one Crys! ... ...Crys?

VII. Nine (Laeraesa) prepares dinner for Six (Satoshi)! What do they make?
She just gives him wasabi. Lots and lots of wasabi. He doesn't complain.

VIII. Ten (Seiko) and Three (Spectre) team up. What happens?
Spectre conquers the world, with Seiko as his ultimate food source (note: Seiko likes to cook, Spectre likes to eat)...

IX. Seven (Kisa), Ten (Seiko), Eight (Teilos), and One (Yoko) all have a sitcom together. What is it called?
Presenting: "Not Another Reverse Harem Anime!!"
(Seriously though; Kisa has three stereotypes at hand: the sweet, supportive type, the sex-crazed, seductive type, & a quite, shy boy/awkward type)

X. Is One (Yoko) more accustomed to tangoing, waltzing, or freestyling?
Freestyling. Contrary to his quiet demeanor, Yoko has mad skillz in the art of dance.

XI. Seven(Kisa) hits on Four (Kyoya). Result?
A stammering, blushing Kisa runs away from a leering Kyoya.

XII. Two (Crys) is offered an elephant ride or a balloon ride. He/she takes...
The elephant ride! He'd sit atop it, cackling and saying: "I'm the QUEEN!!"

XIII. What is Ten's (Seiko's) greatest burden?
His big brother, Kaoru. ("Oh little brother~~!" *molest, molest*)

XIV. Eight (Teilos), Three (Spectre), Five (Ku'ei), and One (Yoko) go out boozing. What happens?
They wake up the next morning in a hotel room, asses probably sore. 'Cuz Teilos knows where the penis goes! Spectre somehow remembers it all and laments for life. Later kills Teilos and burns all of Oeilvert down, laughing. Becomes most wanted criminal and somehow destroys the entire world...the end!

XV. And finally, would Six (Satoshi) save Four (Kyoya) or Nine (Laeraesa), if they were both in great danger and he/she could only save one?
He'd probably save Laeraesa...'cuz she gave him wasabi. Sasshi likes the wasabi.

This month. 14th to the 16th. I'll be at the Screenburn Convention at South by South West for the gaming competition to represent my Senior Project class' concept, Full Moon Manor. I find out once I get there if I've made it into the finals. Everybody, please cross your fingers and hope for the best! Also, speaking of FMM, there was a company who emailed my Game Design Lead buddy. They were curious to know more about our project. Holy flippin' zombies, Batman! This is INTENNNSE!! I think I've gotten over my scared shitless stage and am moving on into a sort of pride and happiness. I love my team! *hugs them to death* Oops...

Um, alright. Really? Oh, c'mon NASA, let's find something ELSE to waste our money on. A million dollars spent to make this wee MMO on Unreal 3's engine. And let's NOT push the engine to it's limit with a high poly-count. Really now NASA? Oh, well let's not worry about using that million dollars to find ways to colonize man in space. That's sarcasm by the way. 'Tards. Ahem...okay, sorry about that. Just remembering something I heard about yesterday. Absolute crap.


Still Alive BTW
Sorry, but I've been drowning in my massive work load for school. Oh gawds, I frickin' graduate in June. JUNE!! That's not very far away... Oh, I'm lookin' to get my website up and about soon, but I'm still picky about themes and all...damn. Someday I hope to start up some commissions again, but that doesn't look like it will happen any time soon. Hmm, school, homework...yeah that's about it for me. I know, doesn't sound rough, but believe me.

SxSW
The for-true reason as to why I'm swamped with work: South by Southwest Gaming Competition. My Senior Project Class' concept, Full Moon Manor, made it into the Semi-Finals. Against actual hot-shot people. Wow. As the art director of the project, it's my job to keep everyone's work concise and to its finest quality. Also, I must prepare for everything and make more artwork as I am going to Austin, Texas for SxSW to represent our game! As stocked as I am, I am also dreadfully frightened. I don't want to fail my team, so I will do my very best! As a side note: art work that I have done for Full Moon Manor will not be posted up here. Look forward to my sight for that~!

Cheers.

Speaking of Saturday, it was a lot of fun. I should be able to find the time to post up a couple of photos. Oh, but my poor old camera may be at the end of it's life now. It now has a busted shutter and many of the photographs were not in good focus. D= Oh my poor camera...you were top of the line in digital cameras...five years ago >.>

I hope to get some art up soon, too...I've been very busy with school, and have been plotting for a good design for my own website. As soon as that is up and running I will be sure to let everybody know. It'll be lovely~! I hope.

I spent most of it indoors since it was mostly cloudy, or I went into the nearest town to do some simple shopping. Used books aside I didn't get too much, but that was okay with me. We went up to the mountain, Mauna Kea (or was it Loa?)and played in snow. Yes, snow in Hawaii people--it is possible. We brought some down, had a snowball fight, and shortly after that I had all of my four wisdom teeth extracted. Ouch. Well, the process itself did not hurt at all, but the recovery it takes is slow and annoying. It's been one week exactly now and I'm still resorting to gargling salt water every evening and making sure that what I eat cannot get stuck in the holes, or is something I can attempt to swallow whole. Blergh! Annoying! I can't wait for the holes to just close off already. I'm ready to eat all the delicious foods I can sink my teeth into!

Now, wisdom teeth aside I cut my hair. It's quite cute, and the shortest that I have ever gone. Seriously. I'll be sure to take pictures...or something. Speaking of pictures...I should probably take some more of Yoko. He hasn't been too neglected--in fact, he has many a toy to play with--but he's been seeking company. Or, more so than is usual methinks.

So yeah, sorry for the lack of posted work lately...I haven't done a thing in weeks. Oops. Well, hopefully I'll make up for it some time. Look forward to seeing more adorable illustrations headin' your way to a Deviant Art near youuuuu!! Haha, so goofy today, sorry.

The internet is down at my apartment, so it'll be a while until things can be posted. Oh...what will I ever do without you interwebs!? I guess I'll just have to neglect you for some more Persona 4 >.>

Cloudy weather aside it's been a great trip home thus far. Got to play some games, hung out with my sisters and overall am given the opportunity to be lazy and look up many of my old belongings. I bought I bunch of used books that are no longer in print--they smell soooo old! I love old books! Man, but I need it to be sunny for a little while >.>

This quarter I'm the Art Director for two important school projects of mine. The AD in my Advanced Prototyping Class, and both the AD and Senior Editor in my Senior Project Planning class. Needless to say, I have a lot of busy classes this quarter, and after this quarter I'll only have two more to go before graduation. It's such a scary thought...

That in mind, I can really only find the time to focus on school related issues, so I'm afraid to say that I may have to stop doing commissions for a while. I'll be able to start up again for a week or two during my break, but unfortunately all my efforts art-wise will go to making things for myself and the portfolio that I must put together. *panics* I also need to finalize my website and get it up! Ack!! Dammit, it's no wonder how I wake up with headaches every morning now--STRESS!! Above it all, though, at least I'm enjoying what I do. Albeit I lose sleep. Ah wells. All will be fine; I just have to keep telling myself that.

Sorry eveybody, and thanks for your understanding~!

As everything stands I start classes tomorrow. Hmm, wonder how this quarter will go. It will most likely be very busy since I intend to crack down as many 3d models as possible--modeled, unwrapped and textured. I found a game that had exactly the style of textures that I have been looking for and I'm using that one as the base of my inspiration. So happy to have found it--it's an old game too; back in '05-'06 times. Sooo excited for it. Let's hope the fire of my inspiration remains! >.< Gulp, I'm trying not to think that after this quarter I have only two left until graduation... Scary!!!

Selling DIM Love Angelo Sculpt
Still looking for a buyer. He is an Angelo Normal skin that has lived in a smoke-free and pet-free environment. He has a VERY SMALL dent on his nose that is all but unnoticeable and can easily be sanded and fixed. His price is $130.00, and that includes the shipping and handling and I can also have him come with a fur wig and a set of 16mm acrylic eyes with no additional charge. If you are interested, as always, feel free to send a PM.

Oh, but I spoiled Yoko rotten. My little baby doll who has been downsized from SD size to MSD size. He's a KidDelf Hodoo sculpt and I'll have some pictures of him at the con soon enough. I got him a smaller set of eyes that make him look less sleepy, a little necklace accessory and a stuffed lion toy. What a little punk! And all I got myself were a couple buttons for my bag and a little model of Konata from Lucky Star.

I have a whole week off before the start of the next quarter, and I look forward to rearranging my room a little, at least the placement of all my books and school folders and etc. I'm running out of space here--somehow. I own so little, and yet how did this happen...?


A little Help Please...
Here's a question to all you who are reading this journal, oh faithful and kind people~! Those of you aware of my commission services, please answer me this: Do you think I should raise the prices, or keep them as is? I would like truthful answers and your reasoning behind it, please! Your participation is much appreciated! If you want to see the prices again, then you can just look back a journal entry or two...

I had coffee. Man, I frickin' dislike coffee more and more these days, though there was nothing better than waking up to a fresh cup first thing in the morning, like 6-8 in the morning. Not ten, not eleven, and your definitely pushing it at twelve, people. Well, I had some this morning, and not I feel SIIIICK. Ugh, coffee, frickin', BAD. Well, not only will it give me jitters, it'll piss me off.

I need an outlet. I need a new book is what I need. I've gotten back into my reading phase, so nowadays all I want to do is read; nothing more, nothing less. When I watch things at home its all behind-the-scenes stuff and I can barely sit through something now. Methinks I'm just stressed. But at what? Don't you just hate it when you don't feel stressed and suddenly you DO collapse? If my body is going to be stressed, it better damned TELL me without destroying me, ya know. Ugh...I just want a new book, but for that I kind of need some money...

Art Commissions

Will sing for her supper. I'm willing to draw just about anything...porn aside. If you want a pretty picture just lemme know!

Chibi Art: $5.00 (fully colored and oh-so-cute. Limit for characters w/out me going bonkers is 3 characters minimum, 5 characters max.)

Line Art: $7.00; $1.00 per additional characters (a simple base color can be requested with no additional charge)

Full-Color Solo: $10.00

Selling DIM Love Angelo sculpt

Never finding a buyer at this rate. But as they say, patience is a virtue. Can't rush these things. I'm lowering his price to 135.00 with shipping and handling (and he comes with a face up). It's been in a smoke-free and pet-free environment and his only blemish is a little chip on his nose from where he attempted suicide against a wall the day I dismantled him. It's barely noticeable. Again, if interested, please contact me through PM.

Hey everybody! Yes, I live. Sorry I haven't updated since early this month, but I simply haven't found the time to doodle for fun. Not that I'm busy because I can always find the time to draw, but because of how bad the condition in my right arm had gotten. The tendinitis spread all the way up into my shoulder, but I'm getting much better since the last time I submitted something. In fact, I start physical therapy next month, so I'll be getting better much faster. I still have to take it easy though >.< as a lot of this quarter will demand a lot of my artistic time. But man, can you imagine: no drawing? No playing video games?!? I'm going insane because I can barely tolerate doing normal things like watching movies and shows and (God forbid) watching normal TV channels. I'd rather stare at a wall, which is what I usually end up doing anyway. Good old inner-mind-theater and daydreaming, lol. But yes, once I find the time to (and arm's life span), I will be putting up some more things into DA. Look forward to it, won't you?


*A Spot of B.J.D News*
Hello peoples! I'm selling my DIM Love Angelo sculpt.

Yes, I'm selling my DIM Love Angelo sculpt, but it's only because I'm downsizing into a smaller, more managable (for me) mini sized doll. Angelo is normal skin, resin and from Doll in Mind. He's a lovely and versatile sculpt that works well on a hybrid body and is surprisingly resilient against the sun when most resin yellows quickly after time--so I hear, but it hasn't even happened at all in the many months I've had him. He is also in a flawless condition, as I pride myself in handling things with upmost care.

I will be selling him with a new face-up and the shipping an handling will be included into the price as well. I'm also selling him for relatively cheap compared to his worth WITH a face-up and shipping prices added. He won't be coming with eyes, but I am willing to toss in his wig as well, free of charge, which is (again) saving you money.

If you're interested in knowing more then feel free to send me a note and I can tell you a little bit more. This is really something to be considered if you're into the BJD hobby!


*Commissions(?)*

Yes, more talk of commerce! Haha! I'm a full time student, but unfortunately that doesn't earn me any cash (also currently hunting for an internship). I started thinking, though: Hey, maybe I can lend my skills to peoples! I was thinking about starting up in taking commissions, whatever people want I suppose. I'll have rules and prices down some other time, but, well...if anybody is even remotely interested in this idea than lemme know, will ya! Thanks for helping me out~!

It feels like its been forever, but really it hasn't been that long since I've owned it/started playing it. It's something that I won't soon forget.

Speaking of endings, my subscription here in DA just ran out today. Makes me a little sad, because I liked some of the features. Well, no use crying over it. Maybe someday I'll invest in another subscription, but first a pencil case is in order! (meaning I will use money for one thing or the other...)

In other news...Yoko's body came in about a week ago, and I redid his face-up today (if only to get away from both homework AND video games) and had his head attached to his body (with much help). He's a little awkward, so until he gets his clothes in there won't be many photos of him...that'll take about two more weeks, but he'll be stunning with the right lighting and some clothes--I just know it. For now, I fashioned him a funny loin cloth so I don't have to look at his nude body while working on homework and the like *A*

Anyway, its time to shape up and get back to homework. I've been slacking all day long; not good! No rest for the wicked.

Almost a year ago I was given the complete Sonic the Hedgehog series for my birthday, all the episodes that used to be aired way back when during the Saturday morning cartoon line-up (NOT to be confused with the stupid one involving only Sonic and Tails vs. a cast of Robotnik's motley metallic morons). When I used to watch it I never got to see the the last half of the second season, so watching that between breaks of homework was really a rush, and a blast from the past! Well, needless to say, I watched the very last episode today and it dealt with the whole DoomsDay Project. The ending to the series should have been worlds better, but I understand it was a kids show and aired weekly so I spared it from any anger I would let out. The ending left me hanging a little, though. It felt like there should have been more to the series.

I personally think it would have been great if they had continued, maybe even dabbled in introducing more important characters, like Knuckles the Echidna and the crew of the Chaotics...Maybe even the Brotherhood on the Floating Island . D'aww, here I go geeking out on my journal...

Maybe I just missed the days when Sonic was great and wasn't talked so badly about. He was good in games up until the first Sonic Adventure. The comics felt like they went downhill too. Too much to the story...too much going on that isn't the old theme of Sonic and the Freedom Fighters vs. the Dreaded Dr. Ivo Robotnik (NOT Eggman!) Hmm, maybe just a little bit past the End Game Saga... No, never mind. Let's stop right after the End Game Saga, please. Those were the good old days...
Still, I'll forever love that dude with the 'tude.

Sonic, let the good days come back!!
...and maybe bring Knuckles along with you! No, scratch that, just bring the Brotherhood! LOL

Classes this quarter will be as demanding as always. Really I think the only easy class is my one general ed. class--Creative Writing. That'll be a breeze. I had intended on taking a prototyping class this quarter but it was mysteriously stolen away and so I have to push that back another quarter. That equals 'teh suxorz'. Now I have to take Intermediate Scripting prematurely. It's alright though; I'll do well like always.

Anyway, project-wise I've still been working on a few side things, but I simply don't have time (aka: am too lazy) to put anything up. Maybe if scanners are on my side I will be able to put up some of my simple sketch book doodles. I've already promised a couple of people that... Aside from art I've also invested in a project away from computers and sketch books: a ball-jointed-doll. I invested in buying a black fur wig, a resin head and the most stunning set of green eyes yet. Yesterday I found the time to start the face-up and I finished it this evening after school. With everything in place he really does look like the character he is meant to be. I cannot wait to have a full body for him and some clothes. I may invest in an outfit first before the body, because I cannot stand the thought of a naked doll, no matter what. He'll be a costly project, but I never planned on having children anyway, lmao!

Well, no rest for the wicked as they say, though who 'they' is I'll never know. We only get a week off for Spring Break and then head back for the next quarter. Again, I'm taking four classes but I look forward to many of them...how long will that keep up, huh? Not to mention, I'm working during the break... @_@ oh please don't over-work me! I needs the time off!! *dies* The next long break will be four weeks long, or so I hear. Either way, I am greatly anticipating it. I want to go home, but if worse comes to worse I'll find something else to do... I will NOT work then. Maybe I'll go travel or something, maybe go visit some old friends in Virginia Beach. I'd feel so out of place there now, though...like I've drifted all too far away. Well, that's what happens with time I suppose.

Bleh, so much to do so little time! Today many of the seniors present their portfolios and then very soon after they have graduation. Good luck to all of them, especially the friends that I know! I wish them the best of luck and hope they are successful.

Anyway, that excuse aside I'm going to be getting a brand spankin' new computer. A desktop this time--I've had my fill of bad luck with laptops for a while. It cost me a little over 1400, but I know that it will be well worth it. I hope that the graphics card I got it and the quad core will be roaring straight out of the package. I hope to invest in a second screen when I have the extra money to bust... Ah, imagine: running Maya in one screen and Photoshop on another. I could die! Well, not really...but I would be really, really happy! Well, thats about it for now I suppose...

This quarter I have a very entertaining and highly educational general ed class: psychology. I absolutely adore the study of the mind, be it as an observer or as a participator. It's something that I don't mind being either of, and its a class that I have way too much fun taking notes for. Though for the first three classes I didn't have a nice notebook for it. I do now, just for the sake of using a gift card, haha! And what luck--on clearance AND with butterfly print on the covers.

But enough about that, Psychology. Oh so much fun! I find that the more and more that I learn in that class the more and more I learn about certain quirks in a character and what they represent in me as a person. It's like finding out the meaning of life for them and helping to fortify your love for them. There's the whole ID, Ego, and Super Ego issue that I like to think through. If one character of mine could represent the ID I believe it would be an old and well-loved character named Man'essin (aka: Spectre). The ID is impulsive and selfish...sounds like him, at least the part of him that exists within me and not in the story (though he still can be very rude, lol). The Ego is myself, the conscious me...and the Super Ego...well, I haven't figured that one out, lol. As you can see I love psychology to pieces.

Now I'm going to leave you with the oddest train of thought that was strangely inspirational...and it was thought up in BART, of all the odd places:

Have you ever forgotten your own reflection? In a reflection I stare into the same face day after day. The same petite body, the same casual stance, the same bowed head and tired expression. The same hair that is either too wild or too dead and never in between. Each day its the same thoughts: why am I so ugly? Why this? Why that? Same old thoughts stemming from an ever-doubting side, a part that grips everyone; not just me. The doors open, the reflection goes away and comes back only when they close--rinse, lather, repeat. But one day the door closes and I feel my heart stop. There is a woman staring back, head held high and expression set, unbending. There is a fierceness and a strength and everything I don't have that keeps me captivated. And then it hits me: that's no other person staring right back at me. That IS me.

I was very happy to be able to spend time with my family. It was nice and warm, and I got to veg out for weeks. Now its time to work my best, and learn to stomach the cold once again, LOL. The past two days we all got together and did a bunch of things--put-put golf, the movies, hiking, etc. I was really content. But...I head back tomorrow...and then Monday the quarter starts. Poo. Oh well, at least my classes don't start until Tuesday morning. I wonder how the next week will go...

I miss them all so, my friends that is. I even found some old sketch books and journals. Nostalgia is such an interesting feeling! The sketch books, the photos of graduation and the last day of school, the old envelopes I used to mail everyone when I was living in Hawaii, the little things I collected since...forever! But most of all, a thing of history: a very large, three inch thick binder thats bursting to the point with old papers from high school, not just any papers. I called them mognets--after a particular term for mail in a game (FFIX). Ah, the mognets...the memories. Anyway, I'll shut up now, LOL.

Happy new years everyone. 2008; the year of the rat!

Sometimes I wish I had my own personal jet... But anyway, that's not why I'm making this journal.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

I'll be likely to update soon, by about the next year. I haven't been working on much, which kind of bites, but I have been working on something and constantly doodling in my sketch book! ...I suddenly want eggnog.

Well, Happy Turkey Day to all you out there! It's already nearing finals for this quarter and I can't WAIT for the blasted thing to be over. I'm really hoping to be able to go home during the break... I'm eager already for the next quarter, but that's how it always is...guh! Just get this one done and over with!

There's nothing all to magical for me to say or do...'cept for I hardly had the time to sit around and play with my tablet. The poor thing was so lonely ;_; Well, I got to play with it today! Hopefully I'll find more time to make pretty pictures--though I have to admit I am horribly rusty with my digital stuff since I neglected it. Come to think of it, I neglected drawing a lot this quarter... how uncool.

I lost my ID's lanyard today in a large crowd while fighting through BART today. Really. Hate. People! Everyone was shoving and rude and and overall in their own world. How selfish! Well anyway, I'm done ranting. I think I just need a little vacation time, which will come in about another two months. This quarter is going by so quickly already though...

I'm doing a lot of interesting things this quarter: I'm scripting in Unreal, making Audio, working with the Source engine and learning Post Modernism. Sounds easy when I put it that way...LOL.

Lots of artist do it here and there methinks, so I figured maybe I should give it a shot. I didn't really do it on mark 1000, because I was never expecting it, but this time...hmm, lets aim for 1616. That's the number: 1 6 1 6. The person to get this Kiriban and claims it gets any commission piece by yours truly (so long as it isn't something beyond my capabilities that is)! It's still quite a ways away to reach, but I think its a good number, and it'll give me some time until I get a better lappy, or Toshi-Mama back. I kinda have to repair her, regardless. Hopefully she'll last me a longer time still until I can afford a brand spanking new one. I still love her though...

That was off-topic. So anyway, you heard me--1 6 1 6. Claim it and you can have a commissioned piece! Here's hoping that many people will play along with me!

At least I've been producing some good things. Creativity is never stopped, no matter how bad the times are; that's something to be thankful for. Yeah, I have a few works in progress right now--borrowing my friends laptop and all--but I have bigger fish to fry...like finishing Registration, and getting prepared for finals... This quarter is demanding, but I think it's only because I make it so. I have a bad habit of always going above and beyond of what's expected (but thats the only way to get a passing grade in some classes).

I'm kinda down and at a loss to do with Toshi-Mama, who is closest thing to declared dead now. I don't know what to do and where to invest my money now. Any suggestions? I really think that I should get a PC for home purposes, but I need a laptop for travel too...god, why must everything in the world cost so much? Why did I have to be so poor...even WITH a job...?

I don't know how it happened, or even why it happened. It just did. I did all that I could do without the stress of breaking her and now its in the hands of a professional. Hopefully the problem isn't too bad. Painstaking as it is to say, my artwork may have to slow down a bit. But art never stops for me! Never! I won't let a downed Toshi-Mama stop me. She'll be back before I know it!

...but to crash during midterm week; honestly. u_u

The diagnostic for Toshi-Mama should be done by the end of this week. Wish Toshi-Mama luck and hope that its a minor and easily fixed complication (like a fan...) *hopes and prays*

Lately, I've been trying to highten my CGing skills and trying to make my style better, or more realistic anyway. Really, I just want to get better at coloring. I want to take in and absorb whatever information there is out there for different techniques! I came across one that I really like, especially for backgrounds. I think it got my drive back (:

All I've been wanting to draw is Yoko, though, lol. He's taking over my mind, I swear. Maybe someday he'll become famous... >.> <.< >.> *searches for the paparazzi*

I won't be getting a new laptop until about the middle of next week, but once I get it I'll be sure to have more beautiful things to share with you all. Until then, it'll be the stress of finals, of moving out of this damned place, and of work and trying to regain lost things scattered throughout different back-ups. I look forward to that three week break coming up soon...
