I have an excuse! 'Er... explanation! XD;;

H'okay, so, reason for my lack of update....

*drumroll*

I'm lazy? XD Haha, I kid, I kid.

Seriously though, the reason I've not been putting up any more pictures, is because me and an EXCLUSIVE team of professionals have been putting our heads together.

Between myself, ~padfooteh, ~LucidFlight and ~Vaidya, we are working VERY hard to give you something that I THINK (and correct me if I'm wrong XD) everyone has been curious of.

And that, would be the Restitution Harbor comic.

Yes, that's right! We're actually doing it. In the few hours I manage to get to myself every day, we've been plotting and scheming, for your enjoyment.

Very soon, you will have the first few pages of RH to clasp onto, if you so wish. However, I'm not putting a specific date, because I've only got so many minutes to myself a day. XP But, we're all working as fast as we can, I can assure you.

So... if you're excited, please tell us. I'd love to hear it. And if you think the comic's good enough, feel free to share. We're hoping to get a large group of readers in the future. Large enough to try and reopen the forum, and make the comic more accessible for readers.

Thanks for your patience, m'dears! We'll work as hard as ever!

Love always,
Khep

I've moved, and my computer is in the basement. Out of sight, out of mind, so to speak.

And on July 10th, my mother passed away. I'm still reeling from that, so it is the only excuse I really have.

Again, I'm sorry...

But, I'm trying to put my life back as it was, or as close to it as possible... So I should be back, I hope.

Love you all.

In other news, I'm officially 19. Legal to drink myself stupid in Canada, and that's about it. Yay for fewer and fewer highlights of aging! 8D

So, birthday went super awesomely well; had an internet friend from Canada stay the night... We were up until 7 am. It was AMAZING. We'll be doing it again sometime soon, I hopeses. Super awesome.

Still working. Still going to college. Nothing really new to report in that area, other than I have the most BORING class ever. D= 'History and Politics of the Middle East: 1900 to Present.' Okay, it's really actually super interesting. @_@ But way too much information for my poor little brain to get a grasp on. x_x I am trying though, gotta count for somethin'.

Hm, what else, what else? Ah, this month on the 21st, it'll be 8 months for me and my lady, which is awesome-sauce. X3 And it'll only be around another 4-5 months until I can see her. So damn excited. *does a happy dance*

Okay, so, rambling aside, I'll update you on other things. Like my forums. Oh yes, that's right.

So, Elysian went belly-up there for a while. But guess what, it's getting renovated! HOORAH! Yes. Erin, Omi and I are reviving it here within the next week or so, and we'll be publicising it much more than before; so if you want to see it alive, please, SPREAD THE WORD.

Restitution Harbor will be revived as well, as many of you may know it's still dead in the water. There will be more character references coming in time, but that particular forum is being trumped by Elysian. Even though RH is my own creation. It's a lot more work than Elysian, and will take longer to revamp and ressurect. But no worries, just be patient and it'll be up before you know it.

There's also yet ANOTHER forum in the making. It's called 'No Soul For Freedom' and is mostly a human-based RP forum. It's also based on a book that I'm planning on writing. This too, requires a lot of work, as it's still in its infancy stages, so the link won't be readily available for a while.

All the links to previously mentioned forums WILL be available soon though, I promise. If you're interested in joining any, please, note me and I'll give you the link, even if only to take a look-see.

Anywhoozle, thanks for taking the time to read ALL THIS NONSENSE. Hope you all know I appreciate it, very much so. And I hope you all know that I love you. Thanks for everything, and I hope your new year treats you well!

No, not all people are like that. And yes, I even experienced some of that good old Christmas greed. But I watched people, faces pale, drained and fretful, run around in an absolute frenzy, trying to find that PERFECT gift for everyone in their family. And it's a sad thing, because in reality, we've all lost sight of that perfect gift.

Love.

I was fortunate enough to receive that gift a thousandfold this Christmas. My first Christmas in 10 years that I got to spend with my mother, instead of it being through 'just a visit.' I live here now, this is my home. I could wake up, and see the bright, infectious smiles on everyone's faces. It was the best present I could ever ask for, because Christmas is a hard time for my mother.

She has lost all her children through divorce and drug-abuse. Her first child, her son, he died on Christmas, the day before his very first birthday. Years, she has spent Christmas alone, and she has struggled through it. But this Christmas, she smiled.

Best present ever. And I will always cherish that, even if it is not something tangible that I can hold onto, or a picture that I can hang on the wall. It was my first Christmas with her, and she remembered how to smile.

I pray, to whatever Gods may hear me these days, that all of you remember what Christmas is all about. Sure, you can base that off religion and tell me it's the day Jesus was born. I really don't figure that into my equation.

Christmas is about the love that you share with your family, or your friends. Christmas is about the laughter, the comfortable feeling, the sheer joy of having people you love surround you. And if you think you don't have that, then you're wrong. Always, there will be someone, even if it is just one person, that you mean the world to. Always there will be someone who loves and cherishes you.

Please, do not forget that. No one in this world goes unloved, or unthought of. And that is what Christmas is about. Remember the good times that come before it, and learn from the bad ones as well. Every day is a new start. Everyone gets second chances.

Just try... to remember how to smile. <3

Haven't drawn anything in around two weeks... And I've done NOTHING on the comics for Elysian AND Restitution Harbor. x_x I'm hoping to remedy that tonight, and this weekend, even though I work Saturday AND Sunday... We shall see, I suppose.

But, the main reason for this journal... is to see if anyone would be interested in helping me out with RH. I'm really wanting to open the forum, but unfortunately, I don't want to do this until A) I get all the character sheets for comic characters finished, and B) I get at least the first few pages done for the comic itself.

I've recruited my darling lady ( ~padfooteh ) for help in both those areas. Erin's offered to help with the character designs and ref-sheets, as well as help me lay out the panels for each page of the comic.

But even between the two of us, that's quite a workload. I also had the offer from Tammy ( ~LucidFlight ), who plays Clipper on RH, to help out with the comic... But that offer is probably almost a year old, and she's gone MIA due to College and real life.

So, my question is: Is there anyone out there who might be interested in helping out?

By helping out, I mean:

Helping design comic characters.
Helping with completing the ref-sheets for comic characters.
Helping with the comic; doing backgrounds.

If there's anyone who truly is interested, please leave a comment and let me know which area of 'assistance' you're leaning towards.

And before you think I'm just mooching off of you so I don't have to do the work, there's a reward in it for you.

Reward for your efforts:
You can lay claim to any of the unclaimed comic characters that you wish, if you promise to be active.

The design you create will be copyrighted to you, and you will be mentioned in copyrights for the comics.

If none of the comic characters appeal to you, you may create one of your own liking, and we can reach a compromise as far as their ranking/part in the comic.

You may request that your own original character make a cameo, or play a part in the comic, and that request may very well be met.

Your name will be mentioned in the main copyrights of the comic if you design the background, and if any profits are made (if it becomes that popular) you will receive a cut of said profits.

Other rewards may be taken into consideration; I'm open to bartering and compromise...

I thank all of you who show an interest, as does the forum itself. Either way, however, the forum will be up and running in the near future. Thanks so much for your patience.

Raine Maida -- Yellow Brick Road

Good song, guys. Really catchy. X3 Gives me goose-bumps. >_>

Anywhoozle... Update, since last Journal was a month ago. 8D

Still super swamped by artwork and school-work, so woo. >_> Uhm, lessee, what to say.

Okay, as far as artwork goes, I've lost the will to do much drawing. Granted, I did re-do the picture of Khepri and her siblings... mostly because it's been driving me nuts. XD;; However, I've got the first page for Elysian's comic half-finished... then again, I lost the will to do it (OC's been acting up hard-core), and also, I'm still suffering from a severe dosage of procrastination.

My bad, folks... I'm workin' on it.

However, I'm hoping to get it up soon... won't say when 'cause I -never- seem to be able to make my own deadlines. My apologies.

Also, on top of that, I've been re-organizing RH's forum a bit, adding a few new places, renaming a few others, and it's looking good so far. Nayomi said she would do a new skin for it, and I think it's going to be in-your-face-orange instead of that aesthetically pleasing neutral-blue and gray. 8D It'll be awesome when it's finished.

Started making lists and doodles for character sheets for the canon comic characters... Once you start seeing them here, please, please, PLEASE do some advertising. Whore the forum out. If you're interested, let me know, and I'll link you; if you're not, but you someone who is, cover it in chocolate and shove it down their throat.

... Because I don't know how else to advertise. Any suggestions that are more appealing, please let me know. <333

Thanks so much for your patieeence. I'll get outta my rut here soon. Promise guys.

Much love 'til then, and I hope to see you all soon.

And really, to be honest with you guys and gals, I've not been in a super good head-space lately. I'm getting a little worn down from living with my mom and aunt, both who suffer from depression, and are both having a really rough time with work. And they always come to me for advice, or just to rant.

Not that I mind, but it kinda wears on you after a while, you know? It's like, when someone's drowning, they latch onto the person that's trying to help them, and drag them under too, because they're panicky and scared. Not that I'm drowning just yet, but... that's basically what it's like. Kind of a hard rut to get out of too, when everyone you're around is struggling.

But, things are getting better, slowly but surely, and I have my dear friends to thank for that. I try not to drag them down, but they're good flotation devices sometimes... Mostly because they offer their advice, and then we can move along. They distract me, after giving me something to work with to make my own decision, and it helps, a lot.

But mostly, it's my lady that's really been there for me. She's good for me, something I've always known... But if it weren't for her lending me an ear, I'd be a lot worse off. She's patient with me, and understanding, and I adore her for it. And every now and again, I'm able to return the favor.

I'm a really lucky gal.

But, moving along and away from Gummi's issues at the moooment, back to my list of things to do!

As far as artwork goes, I'm a TERRIBLE procrastinator. *shame-faced* I have a TON of art that I need to do for the BBA... but I lack the inspiration and will to do it, because most of the trades, I haven't gotten any sort of response on their half... So, I'll do those that have been kind and done their part, and apologize profusely for taking so damned long.

But seriously, I have like... around 25 things I've got to do for BBA... >_O Six trades, five requests, two on my 'waiting list' and about a dozen or so gifts. I bite off more than I can chew sometimes; but it's nice knowing people like my art.

Also, I've got a lot of art to do for Elysian. Plus, there's a huge project in the making that I -really- need to get a start on... I haven't got a clue as to how many people I told that I'd draw for them, probably around five or so... so yeyz for that.

And then I have my own forum, Restitution Harbor... that needs character sheets for all the comic characters. >_O;; And there's probably around... 15-20 of those I need to do. *hangs head* Again, bit off more than I could chew, but it's on the back burner, since it's my own forum.

On top of that, I believe I have some art I owe people on DA, but I can't remember who, exactly. So, shame on me.

And I also have a lot of forum work to do for both Elysian and RH. Plus, I'm involved in a huge plot on a friend's forum, and I have yet to integrate myself into that. Really late in doing so, but at least my character isn't punctual at all. *laughs* But as Admin on Elysian, I need to get the last area up and running, and have been putting that off for quite a while; did get Tlaloc going though... S'getting a little hard to keep up with everything, but I plan on struggling through till I can figure out a nice medium between RP and real life.... I hope. o_o;;

Speaking of real life, I started college yesterday. First class (Astronomy), my teacher never showed up. *laughs* it's only a three-day-a-week class too, so needless to say I was a little disappointed. However, my second class, is downright amazing. It's German 101, and I have the most awesome professor ever. It's going to be easy, and super fun, so I'm really excited about that. n_n

So really, the purpose of this Journal is just to let you guys know what's goin' on. Why I'm takin' so damn long for everything, blahblahblah, so on and so forth. Just wanted to give ya'll a heads-up.

Thanks for bein' y'know... awesome. <3

Sooo, those of you who have been so kind as to watch me, maaay be wondering WHY THE HELL I HAVEN'T UPDATED since the 5th. Well, allow me to explain myself. XD;;

My Nana (grandma) and my Aunt Denise (Neecee) went to California for a week! It was my Nana's... 50th School Reunion, or something of that nature. (I haven't really got a clue as to how old she is... I think she's... 68?). Anyway, my Nana wouldn't have been able to go if Neecee wouldn't have gone with her... and if someone hadn't stayed up at her house for the week they were gone. So, she asked me if I could do it, and of COURSE I said yes! Like I would let her pass up an opportunity like that!

So, since last Wednesday, after I got up at the crack of dawn to take them both to the airport, I've been staying at my Nana's house. This is because her husband (Tom) stayed behind, because he's old, and pretty sickly (emphysema and a few other things I can't recall). So, I've been house-sitting and baby-sitting, and while I have the internet, I was unable to bring my tablet, as I can't install/download the drivers, or any drawing programs, since I'm not the administrative account on the computer.

BUT, don't you worry your sweet little heads! For I have two new characters on the way, along with a few gifties and a HUGE surprise for Elysian's founder, Nayomi/Shy. So expect a rather large upload of pictures shortly after I get home. >D

.... Oi vey do I have a lot of work ahead of me. XDD

~Gummi

P.S. - I hate weeding. And bees. No, scratch that. I hate KILLER WASPBEE HYBRIDS. *got attacked by some sort of wasp* .... It stung me. In the head. TWICE. ;~; Just so you know... A) that SUCKS and B) it also FUCKING HURT. XD

Much love guys. <3<3<3 Can't wait to be back in action.




P.P.S. - ........................I WANNA GO HOME. -__-;;

Khepri: I'm in the best shape I can be... Gotta be, the South's tough man. Psychological, I'm a bitch, and a badass. 'Nuff said. >

Getting better though, but I still feel like CWAP. Yes, cwap. Because it sounds so much better than CRAP. Cute, almost. And I want to feel cute, because I feel really oogy right now. XD

Anyway, wanted a little change of scenery around heeeere, so I'm over-lapping my earlier rant from last week, with random stuff that probably won't interest anyone.

One of those random things, is a basic introduction, because I realized I never did that! Shame on me.

Anyway, hi, my name's Andrea, but a lot of people call me Andi, or Gummi. I'm 18, almost 19. My birthday's in January.

If you recognize my art, it's because I have another account on DA. It's 'eepo' but I don't intend on using that account much anymore. This one is strictly for my canine art, and I ought to be making another here soon for my human art.

I also have another account, CardinalFour, which has been lost in the depths of DA, and is for my future comic for my own forum. It's called Restitution Harbor, and it's my brainchild, who has several illegitimate fathers, all of whom you should visit and love.



These girls are amazing people, and I wouldn't trade any of them for the world. The first is one of my bestest friends, and like a sister to me. Her name is Kirsty, and she's a crazy hippy-Aussie. The second is also one of my bestest friends, and like a sister to me. Her name is Tammy, and she... is a gay man trapped in a woman's body. XD And the third lady... is MY lady, and I cherish her so very much. Her name is Erin... and she's my absolute world.

That all being said... Ya'll should know. I'm female. Erin is female. Yes, we are officially dating, and yes, I love her. So, yes, I'm defying nature's laws by being bisexual. If you have a problem with that, well, that's all right. All I ask is that you don't lash out at me in a personal attack. You can say what you want about my preferences, and I'll respect that if you phrase it respectfully. But please, before you judge me for my honesty, get to know me. Then, if you still don't like me, you have a justified reason.

And with that being said... I'll move right along. I am the administrator at two forums now, both of which you should most definitely visit, if you're into RPing canines.

Elysian --> [link]

This forum is based in a futuristic year, where the gods have grown displeased with the humans and have taken the earth away from them. This means that the humans no longer exist. And in their wake, the gods have taken two years to create five creatures to rule the five main continents formerly known as North America, South America, Africa, Europe/China and Australia. These five rule each land, with the status of demi-gods.

Elysian is still fairly new, and we're seeking more members, so please, at the very least, come take a look around!

Restitution Harbor --> [link]

This forum is based in a more modernized setting, in a city that is slowly falling into disrepair. This city is divided into four main sectors, each according to the cardinal direction on the compass rose; North, South, East and West are all ruled by a single canine, the Cardinal. The Cardinals have divided their sectors according to size, and have several sub 'acks' with Underlings who rule beneath them. For a long time, the city, though derelict and becoming over-run with 'stray dogs,' has had very few problems, and the Cardinals have ruled their land in peace, having no quarrels with each other. Unfortunately, there are those that do have quarrel with them, each harboring a deep personal hatred, a vendetta against their Cardinal of choice's very existence.

Restitution Harbor was created over a year ago, but died only a few months after conception. So, it has received a new plot-line, has been thoroughly cleaned out, and is getting a fresh start. Comic characters will be ava... ]]> ~SpunkyKhep http://SpunkyKhep.deviantart.com/journal/14254734/ http://SpunkyKhep.deviantart.com/journal/14254734/ Mon, 20 Aug 2007 11:10:50 PDT
I get looked at many different ways. Most of the time, I'm rewarded with a warm smile and kind eyes, despite my differences and my imperfections. But I've been fixed with many cold, judgmental stares. Why, you ask? Because of one, minuscule thing; my lip ring.

People judge me because of that simple little ring or stud of metal in my lip. They frown, they glare, or they stare in absolute confusion. I've even been asked 'Why would such a cute little thing want to mar her face? Why'd you do that?'

Why? Because, it's me. It's an expression of myself, and I'm comfortable with it. Some people think because my friends were doing it, or that it was some sort of fad. True, I was influenced by how many different piercings I was seeing, but I chose that one, and only that one, because it was me. I love my lip ring, even with all the strange looks it brings my way.

This lip ring, my cartilage piercing in my ear, my two tattoos, the way I dress, these are all no different than the way I think, the way I live, the way I act. They are me, even if only a physical declaration or extension of me. Whatever you wish to classify them as, they are me. But if you cannot see past those things, the material items, the appearance I present, then you are doing an injustice to both myself, and you.

Not to sound conceded, but I'm a good person, one worth knowing, one worth loving. I am polite, well-mannered, and fun. I make people laugh, and I make them feel loved. Just because I have a ring in my lip and I dress differently than you, does not make me a bad person. But too many people get hung up on appearances these days.

Society as a whole has a very bad habit of making assumption; we like to judge our books by their covers. Because face it, if the cover-art is pretty, the writing inside must be outstanding. You're wrong. I have been privileged enough to meet several absolutely gorgeous people, but looking at them, all of you may not ever have guessed their true beauty.

My lady, Erin, is one of the most beautiful, dazzling women I have ever met in my life. But because of society's views on life, I've come to realize that she's not yet fully comfortable in her own skin. It's because of you, that her self-esteem falters, it's because of you that she has doubts in herself. Because of society, a lot of people judge her because of her clothes, because of her size, because of the company she keeps, and you judge her wrongly.

Many of my closest friends, Tammy, Kirsty, Leslie, Kaila, you all judge them too. You judge Tammy because she's Korean. You judge Kirsty because she's well-endowed. You judge Leslie and Kaila because of their full-figured sizes. You make all these assumptions that Tammy's mother does nails, that Kirsty might be less fortunate in her brains, that Leslie's got no self control, that you can take advantage of Kaila. And you are all SO wrong.

Tammy is like a sister to me. She is considerate, compassionate and loving. She is fun, and has an amazing sense of humor, and she's so accepting of everything. And she, like many stereotypes for her race, is incredibly intelligent. But you can't see all that, if you get stuck on her stereotypes.

Kirsty too, is like a sister to me. She's compassionate and caring, and probably the most peaceful person I will ever meet. And she's bloody brilliant. She was fortunate enough to be graced with brains and physical assets that many of us are envious of. She's a beautiful woman by appearance, her figure something that many a man can drool over. But, on top of that, she's in Uni, studying to become a nurse. How many of you can say that you have the diligence, determination and the brains to continue with something like that? Not me.

Kaila and Leslie? You judge them too. You call them fat. Over half of American's are 'fat.' But you judge, you look down upon these two beautiful girls because of that. You can't see the beautiful people they are. They're fun, hilarious even. But many people don't take the chance to learn their true personalities. Why? Because they're not 'erfect' by society's standards.

This is so very wrong. So many wonderful, gorgeous people are neglected because of society's image of what the perfect woman should be. True, this image is changing, encompassing women with fuller figures, women who aren't stick-thin. But still, many of you hold onto that rail-image of the perfect woman, and you neglect these... ]]> ~SpunkyKhep http://SpunkyKhep.deviantart.com/journal/14226980/ http://SpunkyKhep.deviantart.com/journal/14226980/ Sat, 18 Aug 2007 14:09:38 PDT
