I know I've already mentioned it before, but what I'm doing it right now during my spare time is to finish up my to-do list so I can have more free time on myself and to relax. What I plan to do in summer vacation is to focus on personal art (although I'll be doing gift art for close friends occasionally) and my OCs, play some video games, maybe watch some anime and cartoons from time to time ]]> http://sapphireshine.deviantart.com/journal/Updates-369154520 http://sapphireshine.deviantart.com/journal/Updates-369154520 Wed, 01 May 2013 20:14:26 PDT Updates nonadult journals/personal SapphireShine http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/s/a/sapphireshine.gif Copyright 2013 ~SapphireShine
So I've been really busy with homeschool and drawing for others nowadays. I have 5 more weeks left until summer vacation will arrive. I can't wait, so I can have some more freedom! >u<

I have one more contest prize to work on, and I might also will be working on a late birthday gift and an art trade. I might also join some contests if I feel like it and if I have the time for them. Also, expect some new reference sheets for some of my characters in the future. ^^

Also, I might take a few days break from drawing, but I'll still get on here. No promises on that though. Until then, I'll be playing some video games. ]]> http://sapphireshine.deviantart.com/journal/Contest-Feature-367859917 http://sapphireshine.deviantart.com/journal/Contest-Feature-367859917 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 17:31:14 PDT Contest Feature! nonadult journals/personal SapphireShine http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/s/a/sapphireshine.gif Copyright 2013 ~SapphireShine This time I'll try not to do more for a while.

Anyway, a good friend of mine :iconlordinheaven: is holding a contest. It's not open just yet, but for those who likes to draw sexy and curvy anthro characters then this is for you:

First off, I'd love to feature :iconrt-001: because his birthday was yesterday. Unfortunately I won't have time to draw something for him so instead I've decided to do a birthday feature! I plan to do a gift art for him in the future though!

He is an amazing friend, an amazing artist, and is always so fun to talk to! He's just so kind and awesome! I can clearly see he is improving so fast for over a year now, and I've loved his conversations and his characters! He is even drawing a belated birthday gift for me right now, I feel so loved! If you haven't watched him yet, I recommend you do so now. ^^

Just wanted to let you know that I thank you all very much for the birthday wishes! :heart:

This year I've had a good birthday. I went out to the restaurant as usual. And I didn't get an XBOX 360, but instead I got a Playstation 3 (even if I still haven't played it yet). But I find PS3 awesome already, so I'll just stick with it for now I guess.

It's not only my birthday but it's also Easter for today, so Happy Easter to everyone!

I thank my good friend of mine :iconraiira: for featuring me on her journal as a birthday gift! I really appreciate it!

And I got a couple good birthday gifts, check them out!

I really hope it will be a good one this year. I know I've pretty much got everything I wanted other than XBOX 360 (and I hope I'll get one), but I still hope so! I also got a vanilla cake (too bad they don't make lemon cake anymore so that's why I chose vanilla instead) and I'll be going out to the restaurant as usual, and I guess I'll do some other usual stuff.

I'm still taking a small break from drawing, but after my birthday I'll start doing some more artworks again!

So, I will be having a full time for art! Not only that, but I also have time for personal art. I might as well try to experience some other things, such as moe-style art, fur textures (for anthro), perspective, animals, etc.

That doesn't mean I still would be drawing 24/7 though. I've also been planning to do some other things other than art and video games.

Well that's basically it. ^^ ]]> http://sapphireshine.deviantart.com/journal/Time-for-some-personal-art-360514561 http://sapphireshine.deviantart.com/journal/Time-for-some-personal-art-360514561 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 23:27:42 PDT Time for some personal art! nonadult journals/personal SapphireShine http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/s/a/sapphireshine.gif Copyright 2013 ~SapphireShine
Anyway, some of you may have noticed that I was quite busy with art trades, gifts, etc. I still have barely done any personal art this year. Back in January I was busy with art trades and tests. On February I've had my hiatus and drawn some contest related pictures. This month I've done a few collabs and gift art. So I realized that I deserve a break from them and I decided to do some more personal art for a while.

I am currently working on a reference sheet of my new character, but I'm only on the sketch part right now.

If you haven't noticed, I've been taking a hiatus since last week. But now I have returned to dA normally! Honestly, while I was on my hiatus, I felt so much better than I've already been!

In case you're wondering how things been up to, I've been having a great week. In fact, it's probably the best I had in this year so far!

There may be a little downside on dA recently, but I've decided not to mention it.

Anyway, I went to the trips, played some video games, made a new OC that I'm happy with, and I even stepped out of my comfort zone on my art like drawing animals.

Just wanted to wish you a happy Valentine's Day this year! :aww:
But more like Single Awareness Day for me, since I'm single. OTL

Nothing special will happen this year, since to me it's more like an ordinary day nowadays. But my parents are going out to the steak dinner.
Also, unfortunately I decided to not to work on a Valentine's Day picture this year, and I haven't done one in last year and so on either.

Now for updates:

I wanted to feature one of my most amazing friends on dA, :iconx--betty--x:

She is so much fun to talk to and is one of the reasons that keeps me motivated on drawing! We talk to each other in almost everyday! Not only she is amazing but her art looks so lovely as well! I also love her character designs and how she does the shading and lightning! She even drew a few of free art for me! She deserves much more attention then she already gets! ^^

Here are some of my favorite works from her:

I also love her character designs and I love how she draws fur texture. She is improving a lot in the small amount of time. If you haven't watched her yet, then I think you should do so. ^^

But to tell you the truth... I really don't know if I want to do a Thanksgiving picture this year. But when I wake up I'll find out if I decided to or not.

In another note, I've been going through crap lately, but I'll try not to let them get into me. This is something for me to write about one of the bright sides, for once. :)

First off, I'd like to let you know that yesterday, there was someone that commented on one of my pictures telling me... that I can't draw... Really, I can't believe I've received a comment like that. So I've been feeling bad about my art lately. But don't worry, it didn't affected me negatively, haha!
Though I've been drawing anime since I was 10. Sure, I may not be one of the best artists on here and I still have long ways to go, and coloring is one of my strongest points when it comes to art and a lot of people likes my coloring.

I cannot believe it. There will be two more months, then 2013 will come by. I wonder when things will be like by then! ^^

Maybe later I should start doing an improvement meme. I've been thinking about redoing one of my drawings back from 2010, but I haven't decided which one yet. I've made loads of drawings back then as usual, so it will be hard to decide! c:

It wasn't that much for me right now to be honest. I have to draw, draw, draw for others... But since I'm almost done (I'm like, 98% done on it xD) with it, I have some time to draw for myself right now. But still, there will probably be some more contest prizes to work on later, which seems to happen nonstop...

Though I finally did try out some pumpkin fruit. I would say it's pretty good although I'd prefer it with a topping, so I had one with it. ^^

But unfortunately, my Halloween picture I'll be working on will be finished late; as if I don't have the time for it, since I'm working on a contest entry right now.

Anyway, sorry for not posting any art lately. But as you can see, I'm not as productive as I used to be anymore, since I have improved and my drawings has been getting more detailed, so please understand that. Sure, quality is better than quantity, but I wish I'm still really productive...

And then once you're finished with school and checking messages, you lost your motivation to draw and starting to get lazy.

But to tell you the honest truth, for me there won't be anymore fun with all that trick-or-treating and stuff anymore. :/
Don't get me wrong, I'd still love to trick-or-treat only for the candy, but it's just my mom... She just won't let me trick-or-treat anymore. I mean, not many neighbors near me lights up their house anymore. And I wouldn't say I'm too old for Halloween because I believe there are 17-year olds that still trick-or-treats.
