That being said, I can start to expound on my new drawings, and why I think they've improved. Mostly, it's come from a desire to experiment. While I'm still drawing the same old poses, I feel I'm finding better ways to create those poses, and get a better understanding of anatomy. Most of that came from leaving my interest in Anime behind, and finding other influences. Come to think of it, my art took a dramatic step when I watched Tarzan for the most recent time, and found a desire to draw a less anime style, and a more western cartoon style. Personally,I think it's done wonders for my desire to create and draw.

Experience Up!
Learned:
Experimentation.

I'm almost done with my first semester of University. The courses have been going very well, and I'm finding college much more enjoyable than high school. The only thing I miss is knowing when my next meal with be. xD

Art class has given me a chance to practice my artwork. I think I've improved a lot over the past couple of months, and hopefully I'll be able to prove that. As soon as I remember how to work a scanner.

Related to the meal ordeal, I've lost about thirty-two pounds. My current weight is one-hundred and sixty-four pounds, and I'm still losing. For those who don't know me, that means I've lost more in less than a year than I've gained in the last five. This makes me happy.

I've done some movement studies, mainly in Kendo. This means new poses for me to use in my art, and maybe even a few new ideas for characters.

Now, onto what really made me happy: My new book. After two years, I finally started writing Azrael's story, and hopefully it'll be a good one. I showed the first couple of paragraphs to my English professor, and she thinks I should get it published. Go figure, eh?

On the same note, I may start posting prose on my page. I'd like to take some time and write some short stories. My big goal is to use my own stuff; no fan-fiction.

Oh, and my hair's growing back out. This also makes me happy. This also means I feel good enough to post some personal pictures. *pose*

All in all, things are going very well, and hopefully I'll be putting decent work up soon.

Huzzah!

I cut my hair. o.o

Actually, it doesn't look too bad. Whenever I find a camera, I'll get some artistic pics up. Maybe there will be some good ones... Hopefully. -.-

I got my internets back. Took a while of putting in the new networking card, but I did it.

I CAN RP AGAIN!
AND POST ART!
AND RANDOM STUFFS!

As Always,

ANYWAY.

First off: I'm on another writing binge. I started writing a Star Wars fanfiction for one; hopefully that goes well, and doesn't turn into just another project I start up and never touch again. =_=

I also started writing a story about four of the characters I've designed. I've used a few of them in rp on YIM, but the only one i've really developed is the one who's weapon I've designed. (See Deathblade Thanatos in gallery)

Lord I love that weapon.

Anyway, i've hopefully got the picture I wanna use in Neon's halloween contest. I drew it yesterday, and redrew it... and redrew it... o_o

But I finally got it looking almost right. I MIGHT redraw it again, just for the sake of whatever perfection I can put to it. I put the four characters in it... CHIBI. XD

I had to think for a while to get the idea... I was gonna go with some scary picture to use, but I just decided not to in favor of doing something I could actually do. So in the end I got a picture of a homicidal maniac chasing a mischevious half-demon while their half brother and sister watch on.

I may or may not get the original character designs up on the site within a timely fashion... I really wanna, but I just don't have the capabilities at this time... *sigh*

As Always,
Joe Conley

*edit* YES! The picture is scanned, courtesy of the Pike County CTC IT/BA scanner. BWA HA!

I'm going insane.

Well, more so, anyway.

Life is becoming most annoying without my home internets. I've done a lot of new stuff that I wanna put up. Nothing special, though; just a bunch of sketches and the like. Though I came across four of my old sketch books from last year, and I have a lot of character designs that I wanna put up.

I'll probably redesign them later, but until then I dunno what i'ma gonna do.

On another note, last time I was online I met someone in Yahoo Messenger who asked me to write a song about them. This let me down the path of a songwriting binge that culminated in seven songs that need to be put into music. I may even try to sing one for the school's singing competition this year, if I can learn to sing and play guitar in the time it takes for that to happen. *BREATH*

Besides that, i'm not much sure what to say... I'm having girl trouble of sorts; or rather, the lack of. Year seven of the girlfriend-less age is near complete. XD

I dunno why I keep it like that... Maybe I prefer to stay alone. It's definately less complicated. Maybe i'm what I claim to be; Asexual. Whatever the reason, I may need to remedy the problem soon. People are starting to think i'm gay. ><

Oh well. I hope to remedy my internets-less situation soon, along with whatever other problems I have.

As Always,
Joe Conley

The saga continues. My internets is still un-fixed, and i'm going crazy what with all the stuffs I want to put up. I'm resorting to use the school's various scanner-types and whatnot. ><

Anyway, Today sucked. Just sucked. I had a breakdown just before school ended, thanks to my ever charming lab teacher.

'nuff said.

As Always,
Joe Conley

Actually, I went on a writing binge. I wrote four songs in one day... as well as all my school work. Not only that, but I did like... Fifteen sketches. At least I got some characters designed... I may or may not be able to get them online, thanks to the wonderful Thuderstorm that came along and fried my internets. *sob*

Anway, until I manage to get a new modem card in my computer, I won't be able to upload any new pictures.

Which may or may not be a bit fo good fortune. Between writing and drawing (and playing guitar; I think I finally have a song worth playing...) My fingers are near the bleeding point. I have to draw with band-aids on my index and middle finger because they hurt... XD

Anyway, I considered buying some cosplay stuff sometime soon. I may or may not be going to an anime convention as either Sephiroth, Yazoo, or Riku. My friend actually bought a buster sword (The thing's supposed to weigh 13 pounds... yeah right. XD) and is going as Cloud. So naturally Sephiroth or Yazoo are the best choices. I can so do Yazoo's voice... It freaks people out.

Either that or gets me called a woman again. Whatever. XD

As Always,
Joe Conley

But, I started rooting around in my closet at about four o'clock, and found my suit jacket. And a few dress shirts. So I had an epiphany; why not have a photoshoot? And while i'm at it, why not have my brother and his girlfriend come along? After all, it could be a great opportunity to practice photography...

I just got back an hour ago. We spent two hours walking around waverly, taking pics and listening to me babble about underlying feelings in a photo. So, we hit several locations around town, from the historic Emmit House to the park that no one cares about. But, there is a picture of strongbad painted on the basketball court wall... Had to get one of that. XD

Overall, I'd say I got a lot of good pics with my brother and his girlfriend. A few of the pics I posted just a little bit ago were of them, but I made sure to get a nice big pile of my own in there. I'll probably post more pics of them tonight, after I've had a chance to photoshop them and get them Net-worthy.

Jesse (my brother) actually commented nicely on the way I looked today... Shouldn't he be calling me an emo fag again? I dunno... XD

Anyway, they seemed to be happy with the pics I took, and I hope everyone else is, too.

Until next time,
Joe Conley

I'm getting sick of school, of southern ohio, of the people i'm around all the time, and even of myself. I just want to get out of this place, go to college, maybe even meet some new people. I know that things are changing here; i'm becoming more popular at least.

How do I know? because junior high girls are becoming crushed on me. That's the sign. XD

However, it's not just that. People all over the place are doing it too. But I can't figure it out. Did I become attractive overnight? I don't get it...

Maybe it's because most of the people who are becoming of the attracted to me don't know me from the early days of school. I was always the unpopular freak in the back of the class. I always hung out with kids who were outcasts. I felt more comfortable with them... But now people are practically flocking to me.

I'm becoming a teacher, even as I become a student. I started working on a new form of channeling, Yamiki, and I've already found people who want to learn it. I've showed it to people all over the place, and tried to teach it; i've even written a paper on it.

I'm starting to look for new friends. I realized a few days ago that most of the people i've known for all my life... I'll never seen them again. When the thought came to me, it hurt. I had to leave school, partly because I missed several doses of a particular anti-psychotic, which left me feeling angry at the world. Everything started to bother me, no matter how inconsequential.

I'm starting to think that without my medication, i'd destroy myself. The only thing keeping me un-emo is the anti-psychotic, and without it i'd probably lose all hope. Which bugs me... I'm entirely dependant on meds now. I'm almost dependant on the medication to sleep at night, and with bipolar, i'd probably kill myself if I broke down hard enough.

lol, serious, I know, but it's the truth... And now that i've ruined my mood, i'm gonna leave. XD ]]> ~RedWyvern8688 http://RedWyvern8688.deviantart.com/journal/9729367/ http://RedWyvern8688.deviantart.com/journal/9729367/ Mon, 14 Aug 2006 19:39:27 PDT
Why? because i'm hoping that one day I could become a model.

strange, I know... but people I know like the way I look, and maybe I can apply that to something where I could at least use it for something...

I dunno. it'd be a lot of work to get my body into shape, but why not? ]]> ~RedWyvern8688 http://RedWyvern8688.deviantart.com/journal/9377589/ http://RedWyvern8688.deviantart.com/journal/9377589/ Fri, 14 Jul 2006 16:26:02 PDT
Art has been fun for six years, and the single largest influence on my art was sci-fi stuff. From Star Wars to Gundam Wing, I've always been interested in robots and spaceships.

Until recently, I haven't really been doing much of my old drawing, like mech designs and weapons and all that. Maybe one day I'll be able to be a designer, like I used to dream of doing.

So, in short, I'll be designing a lot more, especially with things like Star Wars and Mecha Anime shows. ]]> ~RedWyvern8688 http://RedWyvern8688.deviantart.com/journal/9202002/ http://RedWyvern8688.deviantart.com/journal/9202002/ Tue, 27 Jun 2006 16:34:15 PDT
I can't think of much to draw... I'm practically out of ideas. I look to my old artwork, but nothing comes to mind.

I've been thinking about working on poses and other camera angles and stuff, but still I don't know what to do... I need an anatomy book so badly...

I need to start a new project; something from which to draw inspiration from. I also need to select a style of anime to draw. Maybe I'll make something of my own, or maybe I'll copy one of the great manga artists or something... ]]> ~RedWyvern8688 http://RedWyvern8688.deviantart.com/journal/9064666/ http://RedWyvern8688.deviantart.com/journal/9064666/ Wed, 14 Jun 2006 08:54:03 PDT
Summer! finally, I can relax. Or not. ><

Landscaping the yard is not fun... ]]> ~RedWyvern8688 http://RedWyvern8688.deviantart.com/journal/8880697/ http://RedWyvern8688.deviantart.com/journal/8880697/ Fri, 26 May 2006 05:58:42 PDT
ANYWAY.

Only one more day of school this year, after this one. I haven't thought much about what i'm going to do after next year, when I graduate. My art teacher from the high school told me I should go into an Art School, considering the field of work I want to get into (Videogame character design...)

I even started working on characters for a comic book this year, although the project got scrapped about halfway through the semester. I continued working on the designs, though. Maybe I'll put them up on the site...

I've got way too many ideas floating around; I just can't seem to reach them... ]]> ~RedWyvern8688
