Amazing though, isn't it? Such a long time... and yet I haven't really done much at all here. So much have happened in these last four years... I barely recognize half of my own entries' styles anymore.

I do lurk around regularly though, just in case you were wondering where I've disappeared off to.

I haven't really had a chance at drawing much lately, mainly because I've been too distracted but we'll see if I can change that now that I'm back to my usual routines. :3

I'm still undecided on what to do with my drawing style, I've been going in all kinds of different directions lately. Where will it lead, I wonder? Hoepfully somewhere nice.

Hoping you all had a great summer. <3

(I know I've been talking about this a long time but this time I actually had the pictures clicked and all.)

This new submission system is making me even more confused than usual so if something shows up on your watch list twice or if something very old suddenly pops up there, I appologice in advance...
There are so many new options to figure out, and me who can't make decisions. I still don't know if my drawings pass as anime/manga anymore or if they should be called something else?

I'll be leaving on vacation on the 4th for two weeks, probably without any proper Internet access, just so you know if I suddenly seem to disappear.

Take care! <3

Inverse Kinematics is very interesting as well.

I've had a lot of ideas for character designs lately, but I have no idea what I should do with them so most of them will probably stay as what they are now - quick doodles from class but I might use a few of them.

I'm thinking about giving up on Gaia (except for dropping by to keep in touch with some great friends I've made there). It just doesn't hold my interest anymore since it's all about the items nowadays (at least that's what it seems to be to me).
I have made a few commissions there, though. If I remember to, I'll post them here later.

I've been wondering - if I were to offer real-life commissions or prints on here, do you think they'd sell? If so, in what price range?
And what method of payment do you think would be the best?
Would you prefer digital or traditional media?
What about postage? (Considering I live in Sweden, having to charge a lot of postage might become a big trouble for me if I should ship abroad...)
Thank you in advance!

Last, I'd love to make and perhaps print book marks or pins (I've already made some pins for myself) but I wouldn't know what to put on them. Any suggestions? (Feel free to suggest things which are not in my gallery yet.)
My only request is please try to stay away from requesting fan art, as much as I love fan art selling it is not a very good idea in my mind since the whole copyright law bussiness is a matter I'd rather not get involved in if I can avoid it... ;

That is all for this time. Thank you for reading!

I've had a gist of the stomach flu, but I'm getting much better day by day. That is, as long as I remember not to eat much...

I'm cleaning out my scraps and making some minor changes around my gallery. Just to let you know.

Time for a new ID soon. X3
I'm trying to come up with some fun theme, maybe for a photo?

... I never have any idea what to say in these journal entries. Somehow, they feel a bit too... well, public I guess. ;
It doesn't really help that I always feel they should be art-related.
Maybe I'll figure it out in the end... Some day.

School's been eating much of my time so I seldom have the energy or will power to make anything dA-worthy (i.e. in colour) but next course will be 3D, I think so maybe I'll have something to post form there soon? (If it turns out well, of course... <.<;

Until next time, I hope you're doing well. Take care!

New Years Eve coming up next!

See that big bar with stuff on top? Nifty!

Thinking about maybe putting together some kind of collage of some of the doodles I've been posting in my lj to show you what you're missing out on if you don't watch me there.

PS. I'm going to have to make a new ID soon (turning 21 on the 16th of Jan.). Any ideas?

Long time, no updates.

School's here and strangely enough, I actually quite enjoy it. Especially now when I've cleared off a lot of assignments I had to do.
Though it often keeps me from drawing since I'm always really tired...

I haven't been that active on dA lately, and I've been thinking about maybe taking a break from it.
Let's face it, it's not that it would leave a great big gap here if I moved elsewhere with my drawings, but I rather like having an online gallery and since I don't know of any better alternative, I'll stick around for now. I wish I could post pictures in this journal... I'd use it a lot more if I could.

I've been in a bit of an art slump lately so get out of it, I've decided that I'm going to try and focus on improving myself from now on.
Wish me luck!

Edit: Kiriban caught by who requests something with the character Urahara Kisuke from BLEACH. How fun!
Congratulations!

I got my own 700-kiriban. How silly.
A kiriban, for those who's wondering is a specific number of page hits, usually even or "funny" numbers, which are usually celebrated by a picture.
Up 'til now I haven't really kept track of them (since I don't have that many visitors there's not much to keep track of) but I've decided that person who recieves the 1010-kiriban will be able to request a picture.

So, next kiriban is 1010.

I've had 700 hits since April 10th last year, so I figure it'll take at least until somewhere around... September? Unless I get really active and improve a lot...
Either way, I'll be looking forward to that.

I'm thinking about cleaning out my scraps... Just thought I'd give a fair warning about that. Also, somehow, my favourites are not showing up properly... Strange. I'll look into what might be up.

Rules:
The 1st player of this "game" starts with the topic "6 weird habits/things about yourself"
and people who get tagged need to write a journal about their 6 weird habits/things as well as state this rule clearly.
In the end, you need to choose the next 6 people to be tagged and list their names.
Don't forget to leave a comment that says "you are tagged" in their devpage comments and tell them to read yours.

Tagged by: Several artists on my watchlist said it was up for grabs for anyone who's not done this yet.

Here we go:

1. I'm very flexible. Often, when I'm standing up I bend my knees and anklestoo far back which put a lot of strain on my body, often making my legs hurt. On the other hand, I can freak (some) people out with my bend-ability (that's not a real word!) which is kinda neat.

2. I slur a lot when I talk, especially if I'm sleepy or talking in English. I didn't use to do this, but it's alsmost become a habit now. I also have a habit of rambling without making note of what I'm really saying. Therefore I'm useless at repeating myself - I can never (or very rarely) remember what I said just three minutes ago. It's the infamous "Goldfish memory".

3. I get migranes when there's thunder/heavy rain in the air.

4. I get carsick (or generally travel sick) very easily, yet I have no problem driving long distances. However, when I drive, my legs start to hurt a lot.

5. I have a bad habit of cracking/popping my right shoulder, my wrists and fingers.

6. I tend to make up a lot of stories in my head while daydreaming but I never write them down because I'm terribly afraid I'll write any clichés or over-used plots.

I tag: (Happy Birthday! ) and anyone else who want to take this. Have fun!

... I wonder who started this in the first place?

We've got Photoshop CS2! Thank you dad!
Now I can scan, crop and colour like I did before. I'm so excited!
Yes, yes, I know fancy tools doesn't make one a better artist but I like it anyway.
Though, I suspect I'll have to re-learn a lot.
I remember switching from version 5.5 to 7.0 - it was agonizing, "This key's supposed to do this, not that!"
Plus, I just discovered the new interface is all in English.
I'm such a dork, I didn't realize until now.

I wonder if I'm allowed to post pictures (like header and footer) in this journal or if I have to have a subscription for that?
I'll have to look into that.

Also, I'm thinking about setting up a store at CafePress. It sounds really interesting but I'm not sure I'd actually sell anything...

This week has been rather strange - I've been feeling very down for no reason whatsoever. And it's only a feeling of beeing slightly down, not anything big. Weird.
But I feel all better now!
Perhaps it's because of school...?

I've moved the bigger part of my gallery into scraps (sorry if it showed up on anyones watch-list - I think they shouldn't, but still...).
You can go there if you want to see them.
Why? Well, while I still like most of them I'd like to keep the coloured ones in the main gallery and some of them, I feel I could have put in a lot of more effort into. But I don't really want to take them off the Net yet...
See, I kind of like reading the comments/discussions I've had before, they're usually very funny (and off-topic - "Cat-Eared Busses!").

I'll probably go on a bit of a posting-spree soon.
Mostly old Gaia-stuff.
I think I'll put most of them directly into scraps... or not post them at all.

And I have some new ideas for an icon/profile pic/etc.
We'll see if I ever get around to making that.

... And I need to stop using so many smileys.

Whoo~! I actually made a layout to my lj.
I guess I'll have to try and be more active now.

I'm going through a funny phase which means I'm getting very critical over my own art and start thinking about changing my style (happens every year).
But in the end, I'm never able to change it...

So, the journal tagging which started at =maygikal's journal reached me through ~CheeseBun's journal.

I usually have huge problems with wishing for myself but I figured, why not.
This is the holliday of gifts isn't it?
(Ok, I know that's not entirely right, but still...)

Please OBS! There's a huge list with people who's put up wish-lists over at =maygikal's journal and some other places as well.
I won't post them here a.t.m. but I might later.
If you come across one, please don't hesitate to try to fullfil at least one wish if you're able to. Let's spread the holiday love!

Here's the instructions (taken straight from = maygikal's journal).

Step 1.

Make a post in your dA journal. The post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related ("I'd love a Snape/Hermione icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _____ on DVD") to really big ("All I want for Christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV.") The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.

If you wish for real-life things (not fics or icons), make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where Santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you.

Step 2.

Surf around your friends list (or friends friends, or just random journals) to see who has posted their list. And now here's the important part:

If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes someone's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use--or even know where you could get someone's dream purebred Basset Hound for free--do it.

You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf--to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not--it's your call.

There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just...wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.

Step 3.

The List:
I guess I'm a person who's hard to buy gifts for since all I can usually come up with is "I don't knooow... Something practical that'll last for a while...?".

1. Holliday s - simple but much appreciated!
2. To pass my math-exam - yes, I realize that's up to me alone, but that's the no 1 thing on my list of selfish wishes at the moment
3. Getting healthier - again, that depends on me and how much time I get this vacation to sleep...
4. For my familly and friends to be happy - I know, I know, same as above, you don't have to say anything...
5. Some tips on good music perhaps? I like a lot of pop/rock things but it depends a lot on my mood... I have a special love for music in different languages, musicals and movie-music as well. Just not... overly depressing or noisy, thanks. ... ]]> ~Snoddis http://Snoddis.deviantart.com/journal/7140999/ http://Snoddis.deviantart.com/journal/7140999/ Fri, 25 Nov 2005 13:12:43 PST Web radio

CheeseBun tagged me! Or rather, tagged anyone who felt like it. So here it is - random things you never wanted to know about me.

10 things you like:

1. My family - I'd never survive long on my own. Not because I wouldn't get by but because I'm so attatched to them. (Not that I always remember that, though...)

2. Soft drinks - Like Pepsi and Fanta. I know they're not healthy but I don't care!

3. "Cute" things - You can't really tell unless I'm tired (don't ask).

4. Crafts - I love it!

5. Music - Wherever I go, so does my mp3 player.

6. Art - the reason I'm here at dA. It's a great icebreaker too. Not just comic-art, but also a lot of classical art. I'm quite fond of Claude Monet, Alphonse Mucha and Carl Larsson.

7. (Free) Online Games - I get addicted quite easily.

8. Internet - Keeps me entertained.

9. Sleep - Whenever I'm able too.

10. Books - I used to read a lot but nowadays I'm too lazy. But I try to read at least ten novels/biographies each summer.

3 things that make you happy:

1. When I can make someone smile.

2. Feeling appreciated.

3. Being helpful.

3 things that anger you:

1. Arrogant people.

2. Machines that don't work when they're supposed to.

3. Tasks I think of as "impossible".

10 things that you hate:
(Please note this is aside from the obvious: heights, having to kill bugs, public speaking, etc.)

1. Frustration - I really hate not being able to handle something.

2. Racism - I get called "Chinese girl" a lot and it really gets to me. DX

3. Crowded elevators - or elevators in general.

4. People looking over my shoulder and going "Ah so you're into that kind of art. So, can you do real art too?" whenever I draw anything remotely manga-like. I have a low tolerace against modern art like cubism (I don't really see the point) but I still recognize it as art. Art is art, leave it at that.

5. Elitists - I believe they were called Besserwissers before the days of the Internet.

6. Group work - It just never works.

7. Getting up in the morning - Snooze-button = luff.

8. People who just don't know when to stop - as a lecturer once said to our class: "Boys, I want you to remember that a no is a no is a no is a no is always a no!"

9. Boring lectures - I get bored quite easily and tend to get sleepy.

10. People poking me - I'm ticklish and since my muscles are so tense, I get sore quite easily from a jab in the rib.

3 facts about your name:

1. My parents wanted something "international" so they picked it after watching "Kramer Vs. Kramer" - a movie I have yet to watch.

2. People can never get it into their heads that my name does not contain an "h". I have some relatives which after almost 20 years still call me "Johanna".

3. When I was little, I thought I was the only person in Sweden with my name. Turns out there is at least eleven of us in the Shockholm region. I still get surprised whenever I hear it on someone else, though since I've gotten used to the thought of it being a very rare name.

5 facts about yourself:

1. I have an overactive sense of guilt, so I get stressed easily.

2. I love comfy clothes.

3. When I get really upset I usually just sob uncontrollably and sometimes get a nosebleed. And despite what any anime/manga fans out there thinks it has nothing to do with excitement (unless negative one).

4. I'd like a boyfriend but I'd be too scared to get one. Besides, I'm not sure it'd work - I'm ticklish, reserved and most of all, lazy. When I hear "boyfriend" the first thing that comes to my mind is "trouble".

5. I have different personas - one for work and one for friends. The work one is quite serious and stern and t... ]]> ~Snoddis http://Snoddis.deviantart.com/journal/7043134/ http://Snoddis.deviantart.com/journal/7043134/ Mon, 14 Nov 2005 08:04:58 PST Web radio

I'm feeling sick.
In the I-think-I-might-have-caught-the-flu-kind of sick.
Strangely enough, it makes me hyper.
Hyper... but without any energy.
Does that make sense?
It shouldn't.

I'm feeling a bit guilty for not attending any lectures today but I don't think it would have made any difference.
I've got a splitting headache and I wouldn't be able to concentrate anyway.
So, I've been working on some math at home.
... Which only makes me even more bored.
So, I'm going to do what I always do when I'm feeling extremely bored.
Iron the laundry.

So, today's a monday again.
It's getting so dark outside I can just feel my energy being drained.
I wish I was a morning person. If I was, I wouldn't have to worry about getting up in time to make lunch.
I'm starting to feel a little how being a "poor student" feels like.
Fast noodles for lunch and spending my savings on books for school.
A classmate of mine and I counted up to 3000 kr (around 300 dollars) which we have or will spend on books just this term.
Ouch! And I was supposed to buy a new coat and shoes for winter too...
I walked in my loafers all winter last year and almost froze my toes off.
I was too lazy to buy new shoes in time and once the snow came I kept putting it off because I was too tired.
I wish I could hibernate.

There was frost on our pouch today.
Lucky I discovered it in time or I would have gone down instantly.
The soles on my shoes aren't that good to walk in in winter.

What's this journal about then?
I'm not sure. I think it might be the autumn melancholy that's beginning to set in. That, and I'm trying to dodge some assignments I should have done this weekend, but didn't feel up to.
MathLab is evil, and so is math homework and mechanics too.

How will I survive this winter, I wonder?

So much for being active, huh?
Summer was nice, but could have been better. But overall, I enjoyed myself.
I've been having some internet problems and haven't been feeling all to well...
But, new season - new things, right?

I'm finally a student of KTH (proud of myself). It's hard work and somewhat boring at times but I'm doing my best at making friends and participating in activites.
Over the course of the last three weeks I think I've been to more parties than I was for the whole of last year...
Er, for those who's wondering, that means more than four...

Meh, as long as the next term hasn't started I will call it vacation.
