so many people fave on my comic, but nobody comments...kinda makes me sad...

...or maybe that's just because I happen to be sad at the moment.

You ever had a boyfriend who just won't break up with you? He doesn't get mad, he just kind of ignores the situation like it doesn't exist and then he mopes around and says God told him that you love him and you don't really want to break up with him and it doesn't even occur to him to ask you how you feel about it. Or to even listen when you say you're not in love the first three times.

...No? Hm. I guess it's just me, then.

Well, at least it won't affect the Maverick Heart story. All those relationships are totally mutual and nobody has to feel ignored. Except when teh pretty baddies try to raep teh pretty boys. but that's a good thing lol!

I'LL START POSTING ART AGAIN SOON, I PROMISE okie...thank you...

Also, I have a few questions to ask all of you about the Kingdom Hearts fangame I'm making...

I was finally able to get hold of my old copy of RPG Maker XP and now I'm ready to go with making the game once again. There are many features I can add, but I would like your input, since most of you will be the ones playing.

1) Would you like new outfits for Riku, Sora, Roxas, etc, that are different from KH2?

2) I can add a real-time battle system like in the PS2 games, but it will be complicated for both me and the player in adding controls and stuff. Instead, I thought I might offer a system like that in KH:CoM in which you run into monsters to trigger battles, but keep the turn-based system. Sound good?

3) I'm adding ONE original character so we can boot Xehanort as the bad guy, finally. He really needs to die. But I might add in a twist so he doesn't die entirely, you tell me XD

I want to keep the adding of my own characters to an ABSOLUTE MINIMUM, but if you don't care, there may be 1-2 others I can add that aren't too necessary. If you have a problem with using OCs at all, please tell me.

4) FYI, I will be adding 8-directional movement and the ability to jump, maybe even high-jump. I'll see what I can do about gliding. I'm pretty sure everyone who's worked with RPGM before is happy about this, so I won't even ask. XDDD

5) Possible Worlds:
---> Destiny Islands
---> Radiant Garden
---> The Waste (Howl's Moving Castle was a Disney movie! )
---> Nottingham
---> Castle Oblivion
---> Disney Castle
---> Twilight Town
---> 100 Acre Wood (I really can't see Riku going to this world, and frankly I kinda don't want to make up minigames, but it might happen)
---> Port Royal and Neverland
---> Agrabah (Riku's meeting with Jasmine would be AKWARD. lol. "Uh, hi, sorry about kidnapping you that one time so we could offer your heart to the darkness...")
---> Olympus Colisseum (for the sake of the tournament)
---> The return of Wonderland (with added story elements that were abridged and slaughtered in KH1 and perhaps a change of music, LoL!)
---> The final world, possibly called "The Motherworld," still playing with names

Unbolded worlds might be added or removed as the producers see fit...if you have suggestions or complaints, please tell me ^^

6) I have already said I'll have a matchmaker mini-game sort of thing in which you can choose who different characters end up with in the end. Other than that, the game will stay pretty linear.

Now my question is...for the sake of the 95% of KH fans (maybe that's an exageration) that like it, the player MAY do BL but IT IS NOT A YAOI GAME, I REPEAT, IT IS NOT!. My question is, do other fans want yuri? I don't like it much myself, but it's not right to give a yaoi option without offering the other side. Then I would be a hypocrite? Iuno.

in other news i just cleared all the stacked up journals and deviations...so if there is something you want me to see, send me a PM! I will be checking random galleries for the sake of checking them so i don't miss what I cleared from my deviations bin...

That being said, I still have tons of fave messages to thank people for...not that I'm complaining!! thank you, all you who faved me! I'll come around your profiles sometime in the future...

Maverick Heart -> [link]

In other news, I promised myself I wouldn't post another deviation until I finished ~Illness-Illusion's sketch. Therefore, I haven't posted ANYTHING since then. It's been a long, long time. So Ill-Ill, if you're out there, plz give me a hint. I really have no idea what to draw for you. I've gone through 8 or 9 pieces of drawing paper trying to think of something you'd like...and I still have no clue what that would be...

Also, I'm feeling under the weather. Why am I staying up then, to all hours of the morning, just to update? I have no idea. It's definitely not because I'm not a lazy bum. o_o

First I must say - Comicgenesis SUCKS. Because of their vast seas of technical difficulties, I can no longer alter my comic website in any way. PERIOD. Which means I can't update on it or even tell my readers that it's not working.

But do not despair! Maverick Heart has simply abandoned ComicGenesis and moved to Drunk Duck.

Here is its new home: [link]

You will also notice that it has several more pages than when you last checked. Also, if you get an account on DrunkDuck, you can bookmark your place...so the spoiler protector really is no longer necessary...to a point, I guess. And it won't randomly delete my account because I didn't post in a forum that I never wanted to sign up for in the first place.

So...I hope you enjoy DrunkDuck...I think it's much better than Comic Genesis...and, of course, I hope you enjoy Maverick Heart... <3

First, WITHOUT looking at the questions below, fill in 12 of your characters.

1) Hikarus Faer
2) Akio Kanosaki
3) Daemon Storm
4) Kaet Jamerson
5) Vaahl Gondowan
6) Akira Neversea
7) Sylas
8) Shade Nightbreather
9) Zaku
10) Chaos DarkSun
11) Houoh
12) Hikaru Faer (he is different from Hikarus)


01) Who would make a better college professor, 6 (Akira) or 11 (Houoh)?
--XD Definitely Akira. He WAS the best student in his class. Houoh would be way too lazy and impatient!

02) Do you think 2 (Akio) is hot? How hot?
--Are you kidding!? He's the freakingest hottest ever! Emo plus kind and gentle plus silent plus angel plus devil plus black leather!!!

03) 12 (Hikaru) sends 8 (Shade) on a mission. What is it, and does it succeed?
--Lolz! There's only one reason Hikaru would employ Shade or any other assassin, and that's to kill his father, Hikarus. And no, considering Hikarus is like the high lord ancient of all ancients that were ever high lords, I doubt the lowly human Shade with a big sword and an airship would stand much of a chance... besides, Shade would never kill a good person...only like drug lords and people who need to die.

04) What is or would be 9's (Zaku's) favorite book?
--Hm...well I doubt he'd read at all, but I guess it'd be like...Spiderman or some other Marvel comic or a manga like bleach or one piece... not that that really counts as a book. As far as novels go, it'd probably be a spoof of something or other, or something totally bloody and fast-paced. It takes a good deal of humor, blood, or sex to keep him interested.

05) Would it make more sense for 2 (Akio) to swear loyalty to 6 (Akira), or the other way around?
-- they're from two entirely different universes, but I guess Akira would swear loyalty to Akio because...Akio pwns @$$ and Akira is definitely no leader. He follows, lending his support to leaders who require it. Though I can't imagine the chain of events that would lead to such loyalty to Akio...

06) For some reason, 5 (Vaahl) is looking for a roommate. Should he/she share a studio apartment with 9 (Zaku) or with 10 (DarkSun)?
--- Vaahl? Room with DARKSUN?! omGAWD, There would be no studio apartment LEFT when they got thru with each other! There are very few people Vaahl hates as much as he hates DarkSun, and considering they both have the ability to destroy a small city in two hits...uh...yeah. Then again, both Zaku and he are hot tempered and impatient and lazy and loud...maybe they'd get along, but maybe they'd clash horribly...it'd be interesting...

07) 2 (Akio), 7 (Sylas) and 12 (Hikaru) have dinner together. Where do they go, and what do they discuss?
-A very expensive, very illegal club. Sylas and Hikaru are trying to persuade Akio to join them in their quest to destroy all happiness and goodness in the world through insanity and illusion and all that good stuff that Scarecrow from Batman does. They aren't very successful...despite being half-devil, Akio is very, very, very good guy.

08) 3 (Daemon) challenges 10 (DarkSun) to a duel. What happens?
--Darksun underestimates the twirp and accepts...Daemon wipes the floor with his face. Nuff Said.

09) If 1 (Hikarus) stole 8's (Shade) most precious possession, how would s/he get it back?
--Hikarus...? Steal...? O_o Um...I guess that would be out of character unless Hikarus was just trying to teach Shade a valuable life lesson...I guess Shade would get it back once he'd learned that lesson. Or if the lesson was that he didn't need that possession, then he wouldn't want to get it back.


10) Suggest a title for a story in which 7 (Sylas) and 12 (Hikaru) both attain what they most desire.
--"This is Reality" (the title would be ironic, and since they're both essentially bad guys, it wouldn't have a happy ending...for the good guys or for them.)

11) What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 (Kaet) and 1 (Hikarus) to work together?
--Hikarus and Kaet both happen upon the same town. The town has a problem. This problem... ]]> ~athenastar17 http://athenastar17.deviantart.com/journal/13930465/ http://athenastar17.deviantart.com/journal/13930465/ Sun, 29 Jul 2007 17:18:54 PDT Quote of the Day: "Let me reiterate again..." - Fadder

Today we're not actually celebrating because though I've finished exams now and I'm back home, not everybody can be here. So we're celebrating tommorow.

As for the rest of you, the date for actual large celebrations will be sometime in June~!

This also means...it's the first anneversary of Maverick Heart!

I specifically remember beginning Maverick Heart on my birthday. That's b/c the date for the beginning comic is on my birthday...but in any case, I need to celebrate. I'll draw a picture at some point commemorating the moment...but it won't be right away, I guess.

I feel bad cause I've been slacking...but I guess I won't worry about that on my birthday.

What do I want? nothin xD I'll tell those of you who live around...later.

Love you all!!!

I'm so intimidated! You're all such good artists!! And I need to draw things for you... how will I ever be good enough??

So...I left DA for a while and now I have like 3 million things to check up on. So if you please, I'll try to check only one deviation per person unless I'm following an art series you're doing and no journals...maybe at the least I'll read your latest journal, but probably not. Don't take it personally, it's just that the more time I spend checking things that aren't really necessary, the less time I can spend working on things for you. doesn't mean I love you any less...

Maverick Heart: [link]

so...the awful dreaded quiz.

1. Do you like animals?
Animals are messy o_o if you're talking about vertibrates only, that's fine, but I prefer visiting them and not living with them. The only animal I really lurve is my dog right now... (and I do have other pets)

2. Have you ever met an online friend in person?
Uhm...I talk to friends I've met in person online. If you mean met someone online and then meet in person, no. That's dangerous. >_> I'm not stupid. I've met friends' friends I guess, but...

3.Are you athletic?
No. Marching band and DDR make up my excercise.

4. Are you: thin, fat, athletically built etc:
Stick.

5. How much do you weigh?
~100lb

6. What's your height?
5'4"

7. Shoe size?
6 in women's...no, I'm not underage. I just have extremely small feet. You have no idea how hard it is to find shoes my size.

8. Girls - are you tomboyish, girly, normal, etc?
I think I'm pretty normal...though I find it's more fun to be girly than tomboyish.

10. How old are you?
432

11. When is your birthday?
May 25, 1574

12. Do you like to receive giftart?
Yes, but I don't like burdening others with requests. I'm still struggling with my own...

13. Are you sociable?
Not usually, but I can be when pushed to.

14. Do you have many friends?
Too many... I forget their names, they all remember mine @_@

15. What's your race?
white chick

16. Do you like to talk on the phone?
Yes, but only with one person. Otherwise, I'm usually bored.

17. Are you single or taken?
Hm...depends on what you mean. I'm not gonna be dating anyone I only know on DA so it doesn't really concern you...

18. Do you eat meat?
Yes. Vegitarianism does nothing for the animals unless large organized groups decide not to eat meat. And I'm not organizing them.

19. Are you paranoid?
Not usually. It depends on what about.

20. Do you read a lot?
No. I write the best out of most people I know, but I also read the slowest because I don't like doing it.

21. Do you listen to music, what kind?
Celtic, Techno, vidgame music, anime music, etc. I also write music. My favorite is symphonic music with added synthesizer and other techno sounds: a mix of traditional and modern. I mean, I was born in 1574...

Piano, flute, and voice. I've dabbled in guitar, but never practiced, never took lessons, and never got good.

23. How long have you been drawing?
since ~9 years old

24. What's the meaning of life?
You need one? Why? How about "living"?

25. Now tag five of your friends! They MUST take this quiz and post it in their journal…

Charby the Vampirate (that is [link] so go see him)
The Traverse Town Moogle (the one in the entrance)

It seems to me that Riku has a power unique to the others, besides piddling in darkness. He also seems to have the strange ability to take on the powers of the people he defeats.

For example, Zexion. When Riku defeats him (I'd say kill, but he doesn't do that ) he gains the ability to "smell" people's auras. Like when he meets DiZ later (in the guise of Xehanort) and he says, "Wait...Ansem's darkness smells far deeper and more sinister. You're not Ansem at all, are you?" He couldn't smell people's hearts before...

Remember when Axel told the Riku Replica that if he killed Zexion and "took the power of another," then he would be a separate person from riku and would be able to defeat him...? How would killing him take that power anyway unless that was one of Riku's special abilities?

This obviously doesn't apply to Lexaeus, but he didn't really have any awesome special powers other than brute strength. As for the rest of the less and bosses in the game, he was always getting enemy cards from them, meaning he could use their powers too. I think that happened with Lex and Vex as well... although that also applied to Sora, his powers didn't carry on to KHII...

...Although Riku's did. What use do you have for Xehanort's powers if he's the final boss at the end of the game? Here's the use: Zexion also had the power to take the form of another and use their power (otherwise he couldn't have copied Sora's keyblade. This is why I think he doesn't NEED a weapon...) so, if in order to use any more of Xehanort's power than he already had, he would need to become Xehanort, he could. But Xehanort, his greatest powers stemming from the fact that he was consumed by darkness, wasn't a form he could so easily transform out of without battling a darkness ten times greater than his own...a battle he couldn't win. But DiZ helped him out and...the rest is history.

Maybe a stretch, but I thought it was something interesting...fanfic worthy. Maybe I'll do that...

And one more thing to think about: If I'm right, what kind of INSANE powers would he accumulate from a nobody, one without darkness, whom he defeated alongside Sora at the end of the game...?

I'm over my little scrape with misfortune and I'd like to share with you an idea I had. I was playing Castlevania: Lament of Innocence and I found out [SPOILER WARNING] that when you beat all the bosses in the game as Leon, you get to play as the vampire Joachim (the one Leon fights in the Dark Palace of Waterfalls). I was soooo excited to play as the vampire, so I played through all five of the areas leading to the Pagoda of the Misty Moon (with a walkthrough) in two days, snagging all the elementals and secrets on the way. But the walkthrough I was using had the nasty habit of summing up all the cutscenes (which, by the way, is totally unnecessary, as if you haven't played the game you can watch the cutscenes yourself and if you have you don't need a summary of what happened). I'd already seen what had happened up to that point, so it didn't affect my game experience until then, but I feared continuing and going on to the ending and getting it spoiled by the stupid highschool dropout author. (his grammar was horrible *kills self*) So I'm being lazy for now...I'll look up a spoiler-less walthrough soon.

[END SPOILER WARNING]

So...I came up with an idea for a new Castlevania game. Disclaimer: No, I've never played any other Castlevania game, I just heard that Lament of Innocence was supposed to be the first chronologically (as in the storyline) though that has some discrepancies with Symphony of the Night...ah, well. I may see if I can play the old ones later, but generally I find that older games are mostly gameplay with little story (don't flame me if you disagree!!!). And I play for the story. But, anyway, I know nothing about how Castlevania works other than what I've seen in Lament of Innocence. So don't flame me.

The main character is a descendant of Leon Belmont, but he (it could also be a girl, but I’ll refer to him/her as a guy for convenience) has been sired by the bad guy, though he’s not yet lost his human conscience. His dad/mom (it could be Leon) tells him that he should destroy the man who sired him before he loses his sanity completely. (All of this makes a perfect yaoi opportunity if the main char is a guy, doesn’t it? XD) In the actual game, the main char can suck his enemies’ blood to replenish his HP, but obviously, he can only do it to enemies that bleed (meaning not ghosts, skeletons, or armor knights, but he can suck on zombies, wolves, divers, fishmen, demons, and the like) and for as long as he’s sucking their blood, his Berserk Gauge will fill. When it’s completely filled, he’ll go all “anti” and start unleashing incredible attacks, but the player will lose control of him until the gauge depletes. The first time this happens, the berserk gauge is very small and will be quickly filled and depleted, but the more often the gauge is filled, the larger it gets. This means the main character will be able to suck more blood to replenish HP, but he’ll also lose control for a longer period, thus making him more susceptible to enemy attack and death. To make things easier (or harder) the player may also be able to buy items that keep the berserk gauge from reaching its maximum and bring it down to zero, but only once (like the sacrificial doll is to HP hitting 0) or items that keep the berserk gauge from reaching zero once if he/she prefers to allow the main char to lose control in favor of the awesome attack power. Or special potions to bring it down. But the save point will do nothing to deplete it, since the player may prefer that it be almost filled before he/she reaches a boss and it’s always the player’s choice as to whether or not he sucks any blood at all. There will also be bosses from whom it is impossible to draw blood, so he won’t be able to use those attacks, but there might also be a boss (especially the one who sired him) who tempts him into sucking his blood without the player’s command in order to force him into berserk mode. The rest of the Castlevania elements will be much the same. And yes, there will be a twist at the ending. There always is.

Oh, and if there was a journal of yours that you wanted me to read, send it to me in a note. I deleted all of the ones in my watch b/c they piled up. thanks

In other news, I am spring cleaning. That is all.

And for all of you who wanted sketches (well, there are really only two of you) I'll try to get them done by the end of this week, since I'm on break. No promises but I know I must do them.

Two weeks ago, Monday, my uncle passed away. We drove to FL on Friday, had the funeral on the next Monday, and then drove back in the afternoon. I had class that day...and missed it, of course.

Now that I'm up to my ears in make-up work and copying notes. I have less than two days to buy business casual clothes, alter them (because women's pants are too long with everything but the highest heels imaginable and I happen to be pretty short for a woman apparently...at least compared to the supermodels they fit clothes to) and pack them so that on the next day, Wednesday, I can get on a band bus at midnight to drive to Indianapolis for the National band thing. I miss two more days of class. All my free time is spent trying to sleep, except my roomates are too loud, so I can't. Running on 3 hours of sleep every day and I must be in top form.

Not exactly what you'd call a fun trip. More like a business trip. So we drive back all of Sunday and our brains are fried. And I have more work and copying notes.

Monday, professors yell at me because they think I should have all my work done by now. They complain about the band. As if it's my fault I've gotten 9 hours of sleep over the past week entirely and that has nothing to do with my brain being unable to comprehend anything at the moment. And of course that's no excuse to not have time to do their work.

That same Monday I come home and my family is waiting for me. They tell me my grandmother has passed away. They tell me not to be sad. I really thought they should tell themselves that. Grandma had Alzheimer's and she didn't recognize me in those last few years when she was alive. She used to play the piano. Chopin was her favorite. And she was amazing, professional. Before, she would love to hear me play. With her disease, she cried and screamed until I stopped playing. A huge weight was taken off all of us by her passing...especially off of her shoulders. I knew that, so like so many times before when my family members have died, I could not cry. Not at all.

This Saturday I have a piano competition. I practiced and practiced and I really don't remember having prepared myself so vigilantly (without being forced to) in my entire life. Today at my lesson, my teacher said it was the best she'd ever heard me play Cimarosa. I knew I could play the Chopin--my favorite piece, and one of Grandma's favorites, I imagine, it being Chopin--just as well, if not better. And I wouldn't freak from nerves like I did at my last evaluation.

But then she gave me the time of the performance. It was the same time as Grandma's funeral. And personally, I'd rather someone I loved continue my legacy and succeed in my honor than stare at my dead corpse while some priest I didn't know rattled off formalities. But that was not an option. Going to the funeral was "the right thing to do." Do something that really means something to Grandma, or make myself look good to other people in the family...? But then, as I said, doing something that means something to Grandma is not an option.

Sure, it means just as much that I'd give up everything I've worked for in the past year just to see her off, I'm sure. Doesn't mean I'm happy about it. All in the name of "doing the right thing." I hate it.

My parents will be married in the church this Friday. I have to go to that, too. A big deal out of nothing. And it's not even their big first wedding...just getting their marriage confirmed in the church. I hate weddings just as much as I hate funerals.

Oh, yeah. More band on Saturday night. Big deal. And couldn't the mascarade ball have been a week later? I had a romantic dream in which I found my Eric/Edward Cullen there...masked men are sexy. Edward doesn't wear a mask, but if he did he would be sexier, too. But I can't go. So big deal. Not nearly my biggest concern right now.

My only escape is roleplaying, videogames, drawing, writing music...AKA things I really shouldn't be doing right now, considering all the work I have to do. But honestly, right now I'd rather whip myself than do anything for class. I won't, but you get the idea. After all, I don't know where I can find a whip.

Best wishes to all. Sorry 'bout ranting. Sorry 'bout your sketches. Wish me luck and pray for me to whatever god or lack thereof you want.

New Obsession: Twilight. New Moon. Edward Cullen. *SQUEAL*

Sorry I haven't posted anything. My goal for this weekend is your sketch requests. I want my request field empty, that way I don't feel guilty working on my own things

I tried to draw Edward, but he's not as sexy as I wanted him to be. But after seeing some other people's drawings that aren't meant to show his beauty at all I feel better about it, I guess... I also wanted to write some theme songs for them, but after Meyer so brilliantly described Edward's composition skillz, I just couldn't bring myself to. I have a small melody, but...maybe I'll write something so complex that only a vampire could ever play it yeah right...I'm still a noob.

Anyway I just finished reading Twilight and now I'm on Ch1 of New Moon. Yeah...

Does anyone know anything about Flash script? Maybe? Thx.

and will die soon.

Okay, I don't know how I got my butt tagged TWICE at the same time, but I did. So here's 12 wierd things about me, I'm doing them both at once.

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....

1. I will pick at my fingernails and toenails but I will never bite them.
2. I must be doing something with my hands at all times, whether it is playing an instrument, drawing, twirling my hair, playing videogames, snapping my fingers, picking at my nails (see number one), picking at a scab, playing with interesting seams in my clothes, petting books, etc.
3. Pacing, for some reason, cures number 2 temporarily.
4. When I'm walking around my house alone at night, I often see the same exact cloaked figure out of the corner of my eye when there is nothing there.
5. I don't Pre-MS. I Post-MS.
6. Almost all my good ideas for original stories started out as fanfiction and grew so different from the original that I had to make them my own.
7. My vocabulary is wider than anyone I know, yet I read much slower and laboriously than anyone in my level of English.
8. I've spent all my life training myself to draw and write well, but I never wanted to pursue those as careers. I want to go into music.
9. I drew my first soft-sex scene when I was in seventh grade...it was between Tsukasa and Mimiru. Because I was so upset that Tsukasa was a...um...spoilers, nevermind...but I was upset about who he ended up with, anyway.
10. I just recently figured out that the "green tea" in Tenchi Muyo really wasn't tea at all...I just kept on wondering why they acted so silly and their faces got red when they drank a whole lot of it...
11. When I'm in the middle of writing or brainstorming or roleplaying a part in which a character's leg is injured, my ankle starts hurting for no apparent reason and I start limping.
12. I still haven't read the sixth Harry Potter book, you freaking spoiler machines.

I tag:






Bwaha. I actually have enough friends this time to fill the spots. O_O

Thank for reminding me that I hadn't told you guys that I updated. Thank you, ~Oxis ... sorry about that...I'll try to remember next time...

Also, I've joined a new club! it's ...It's a ZexionXDemyx club, in case you haven't noticed...and because Demyx gives Zexion the rare chance to be dominating... XD I have a picture that I wish to submit to the club, but it's not done sucks for all.

I should be uploading some actual deviations soon rather than just comics...I'll see what I can do. When the Ch1end and Ch2beginning pages are done (Which they are, almost isn't that exciting? ) I will post them here on DA. But no more than that! you'll just have to go to the site and see for yourself!

Now that a new character has come in though, I need to update the other web pages...*sigh.*

Okaaay....just so you guys know, I saw like 200 journals in my box when I got back so I'll not be reading them. And don't be upset if I don't comment on your deviations; I have about 110 in my box right now.

So...thus begins my struggle to color 14 finished pages of MH and upload other deviations at the same time. Actually, I ran out of time to upload them because of the stupid new upload system on DA. The other system was much less glitchy, I think...I hope they smooth out the cracks with time so the process can be a little quicker.

I love you all~! I just...am bogged down right now so piss me off and FEEL MY UNENDING WRATH!!!

Well, I'm in Michigan with the in-laws. We met my sister-in-law's uncle (Tio Maurici as he likes to be called by family) and we went out for Mongolian Barbecue. The BbQ was good, but the sundae--OHHH it took all six of us to finish it...and now I have a tummy ache

Fuhuhu...I was sneaking phone time yesterday night and I didn't get caught--grats to us, ~Winged-Dragon-Ra

Hmm...what else. Oh, yes...going to try to put up several new MH pages when I get back, that's Mon-Thurs. After that, I'll have little or no access to the outside world because I'm going to Colombia (that's South America Colombia) until after Christmas...

Arukarudo and Misutura being held hostage...by YOU!! *points ==> *

In other news, I still can't say "Sven" properly.

Today I got up at 5:00, was off by 6:00 and got to Umich at 5:15. Eleven hour drives are not fun...but I did think up a lot of ideas. Which I probably SHOULDN'T be doing, but all the same...

ZOMG THE ERAGON MOVIE SUCKED!!! It did NOT do the book justice. You CAN'T pack that much story into 1hr39min. It's impossible. Yeah, maybe if you CHANGE THE WHOLE STORY pshht coughcough. Were they just low on budget or what? I wonder what Chris P. thinks of all this...

I FINALLY BEAT KH1!!! YAAAAAAAAYYY!! Of course, it probably would've been funnier if I had beaten KH2 first...but anyways...I beat CoM and I had gotten to the save before the final bosses on the other two, and I just now beat KHI. That's because I'd already seen the ending...But now I finally saw the secret ending! And...I...am...SOOOOOOO glad they changed Kairi's outfit... O___o it was pretty nasty...

Tommorow we go to brunch with sis and friends and then go to her graduation. And then we come home, get back at 4:00 AM, and go to class the next day. Sigh.

Can't wait to hear from you all...if this PC had messenger I'd so be there...but it doesn't. So...w/e.

DA art submission isn't working for me.

First it says SELECT THUMNAIL so I do.
Then it says SELECT THUMNAIL and I'm like I DID SELECT THUMBNAIL YOU POOP!
Then after that continues a while...
Then when the thumb stops saying PROCESSING and shows my picture I try it.
It says CANNOT DISPLAY PAGE.
Then I click BACK.
Then I try again.
Then it says YOU ALREADY HAVE A DEVIATION BY THAT NAME.
Then I think WELL MAYBE IT WORKED.
Then I WAS WRONG.

...

And how did I know that the first time I submitted this journal it wouldn't work...?

MADE ME THIS!!

I colored emo zexion. I should be posting it shortly...

It's halloween today! My friends and I are protesting "thou shalt not dress up" day.

One guy was dressed in a suit holding a sign that said "not mafia". Then he handed a grim reaper a sign that said "I'm their mascot -->". Then he handed a few other people signs and they put "I didn't join the mafia". And then I got a sign and wrote "Is not succumbing to peer pressure".

Another friend is "Captain Emo". Serious!

One of my rents is dressed as a pirate, since we have a REAL parrot. he also has an eyepatch and a bandana for him...

Everyone was passing around fake blood...it was pretty yucky, especially because all it was was colored goop that could stain your clothes.

And what was I...? Well...

Oh! And to celebrate, [link] has a halloween page. Colored by ~Winged-Dragon-Ra

I'm going to die of candy overdose.

My jack-o-lantern is carved like Anti-Sora. I love it!! Although it's a little creepy O_o...it seems to be staring at you...

I have a new yaoi slogan!! Random Band Member: "Hey, people on this bus are allergic to nuts! Don't bring them on board!" Gay guy: "Aww...but i LIKE nuts..."

I colored emo zexion. I should be posting it shortly...

Band is pretty much over and that means no more 4-hour practices or uber competitions or anything. This period of aftermath once the stress of marching is over is called "The Big Sigh," for no other reason than that is exactly how everyone feels. This is the time in which marchers sigh, either in relief or sadness (relief for me) and return to the normal flow of their lives. We have spent hours upon hours seeking for perfection, and now our bodies belong to us again and not our band directors. Some will miss it, some will not; some will not return, while others will hurry back in May, regardless of graduation or no. As for me...God knows...

Much more time for pictures soon...

I have a new yaoi slogan!! "What do you call two pitches that aren't straight?" ... "Curve balls...?" ... "No...gay balls "

I drew cute pictures of Zexion...but they'll have to wait to be posted until I'm at home...

I also have a picture going from a familiar series to everyone...but this time my two favorite characters (other than the one who sings ppl to sleep and then draws on their faces) are both human instead of...what they were in the movie ('cause they only appeared in the movie...) And they are from the original 150. I will stay with the original 150 forever!! I hate all the new ones!! I hate them!! ...with the exception of a few cute ones...

And Jyro!! I'm finally working on your surprise picture again!!! I really like the way it's turning out...

Zexion fic...Ienzo ish now talking to an old man in a portrait. O_o scary...

Oh! And I want to draw Golden Sun fanart too...>> not like I'll have time...

Ah...an update. How long has it been...?

I have been doing absolutely no drawing lately. Aw contrare, I've been writing Zexion's story. You know ~Winged-Dragon-Ra's story Music in the Rain? Well this one will be like that but with Zexion instead I'm excited...and it will not only go into Zexion's history, but Kairi's, Ansem the Wise's, and just about all the final fantasy characters'. Oh, and the Disney characters' histories too. And it's gonna be long...I've almost broken my record of thirty pages...

Yesterday night I was very emo and I don't know why...it was a very, very good day...

My sister and brother took me with them to a sports bar to watch the MichVsPenn game...the whole room was full of smoke, so now I'm in the process of washing all my clothes so I can breathe. (you might guess I had to leave at halftime for air) but the rest of the time I was visiting them in Michigan was very fun. they had an anime shop called Wizzywig near Umich in Ann Arbor and I could've splurged, but I only made my bro buy me a soujiro keychain (that's soujiro from Rurouni Kenshin, only the most perfect assassin who ever lived -soujiro, not kenshin lol-) But they had the whole set of KH2 characters: Sora, Kairi, Roxas, Axel...but no Riku. *SCREAMS* man...I wonder if they have an online shop... O_o

One thing I'm sick of: reading stories and articles about race1's cruelty to race2. Sure, race1 did bad, and no offense to race2...I luff all my race2 peeps. But enough is enough--race1 already knows; I don't know a single race1 person who's racist against race2 people.

And another thing! You know how steryotypes are set? By people acting like the steryotype! You don't want to be steryotyped? Then be yourself.

Geez! Sorry... I'm really mad about having to read this book.

Also, for those of you who keep freaking asking me about this, YES the 8th page is up, YES they make out already, and NO FOR PETE'S SAKE I'M NOT POSTING IT ON DA!!!!! sheesh...

My mormon friend is officially off-limits today...he called me last night *sigh* even though it was way past my normal sleep time, I kept him on the phone long into the night (which was only a little into the night for him b/c of the time difference) and talked with him...I asked him if I could wear the necklace he's had forever and left here with me and he said yes. ^^ I made him promise that as soon as he got to his place he'd write me a letter. I think I drilled that into his head enough... But it was the last time I get to hear his voice again for two years... at least he'll send me pictures...

Anyway...so much time, so little to do (you know what I mean). I've started a KH fic about Zexion...one that I'm handwriting and then will type when I can get close to my home computer. It's quite emo.

Has anyone ever seen Whisper of the Heart? That's about how I feel right now, but worse...

Maverick Heart page 8 and the spoiler protector are up. Go look and make me happy.

Also, the most active forum members for MH online at one time has now risen from 4 to 5!!! :woot:

Kingdom Hearts 3 is apparently underway. I can't wait although it may be several years before it comes out and it is probable that it will be for PS3...

I hate marching band Just wanted to officially say that.

I have a competition this Saturday, which is why I'm not getting any sleep. Balancing band, homework, vital activities, a social life, and fun (in order of importance, unfortunately) has been pretty tough. I'm getting vitamins and supplements stuffed down my throat while trying to push both body and mind to their fullest and getting yelled at for trying to kick back and relax for a few minutes each day. It makes me sad. I wonder what life without band is like...*o*

I'm writing a short (KEYWORD SHORT! SHORT!!!!) story now about a dead person. Seriously. First line: "My God, I thought. I'm dead."

On a more serious note...

A very, very very dear friend is leaving in two days to go on a mission for two years. I'm going to his going-away party tommorow. I don't want to cry about it, but I know I'm going to...I can feel it as I'm typing this. Everyone who knows him, please wish him well. We will be writing snail mail back and forth but...most of all, those of you who do stuff like this, please pray that we won't forget each other in these two years...that's all I want right now. I don't want to forget him.

So...life's a bitch and won't let me live my REAL life. It happens.

Anime convention is this weekend. I paid for all three days. But I only get to go on one... *emoness* Well...at least I get to go. Last year I couldn't go at all. My real issue with it is because it's for the same reason, only this time it was unscheduled and they made me pay for something I couldn't have...

In other news, I'm writing a musical, a novel, a webcomic, and...I'm sleepy. No time for sleep...

I have a job in web design now. Not a paying job, mind you, but a job all the same. I have to do a website on math. So...I'm happy that I get some recognition. Because that's the only thing I ask for...

I don't like band. I don't think I'll be joining next year. Someone whose shoulder I've always cried on is leaving at the end of this year...and there's no way I can go on without her. Yet...there are new kids who I know I should feel responsible for looking after. I don't know what to do...they are the only reason I would stay and yet...they may be enough. If you're one of them, cross your fingers and hope you are enough. If not, cross them anyway and hope they're not enough. (heh)

If I suddenly keel over and die in the next week or so...well. You've been warned. (lol you will die in seven days lol)

I realized Akio is now contending with Hikarus for my favorite original character...O.o Creepy, considering who Akio is based off of...>>

I need a hug.

*sigh* It's been almost a month since I've been able to update, I know. Things have been tight. I have still been working on art...You may have noticed I just posted like five pictures, but I'll tell you now...those are old works. I have been so busy, I have even had little time to do what I do in the spare moments between work and life...

However, another factor in that is that I have been mostly working on getting the Maverick Heart site up and running. It's pretty now and has about five or six members, which is pretty sweet for me. Please go [link] and join the forums. It would mean a lot. Plus, I update the pages there quicker than I update them on DA. So if you're keeping up with the comic...

I came up with a new story. Bad me. Or, more like, I'm picking up a story I dropped years ago. For those few of you who knew me a few years ago...remember the "Demons" comic? The one I drew on notebook paper in pencil only? Remember that? Yeah. The characters are WAY sexier now. I assure you. There's even a sexy man who looks like naraku and is in yaoi love with...I can't tell you, because even some of you hardcore yaoi fans would think it was disgusting...but anyway. It is now called "Demon's Scar" and Zack's (who is now called "Zaku" because I simply cannot give him the same name as my...now EX...boyfriend) curse is much more fierce and much more apart of the story. Kinda like Ashitaka's curse in Princess Mononoke...

Oh, by the way. I broke up with my boyfriend today. No hard feelings, though, we're still friends. Not like we were ever more than that when we were going out...*sigh*

My piano skills are now actually getting better. I'm practicing more now, amazingly. I'm going to try hard, because more than anything else, I want to get better at the piano. I'm at an acceptable level of drawing for now. I really want to play the piano, though. When I practice flute, it's like I'm being forced to get better. Like I'm doing it for someone else, not myself. Like I have to prove that I'm not worthless. But the piano's not like that. The piano is mine, all mine, and I will never let anyone, not that gold-digger (those of you who know her know who she is), not her boss, not her 60-year-old husband, not my old section leader. Just me. Those keys are mine to pour my soul out on, mine to make with a song.

I asked my favorite gay guy how he likes to make out with his boyfriend (for reference for MH page 8 - yes, fangirls, you should be excited. ) It was the most embarrassing thing I've ever done. I don't know if I should have...but it was kind of funny. Speaking of which, I came up with a new boyXboy slogan:

"Yaoi: Because two heads are better than one."

I met this really nice girl named Marissa on the MH Forums. If you met her, you'd think so too. She's like Tohru Honda. She's been through all this adversity, and yet, she's the strongest, kindest person you'll ever meet. Shows all you emo people out there.

"If you bear pain and cry, it earns you pity. If you bear pain and smile, it earns you respect." Quote by me. I choose respect. Which do you choose?

And my good friends from real life like ~Winged-Dragon-Ra and people who yaoi like ~sakurarose8955 have to become members because I say so and because I want them to. Please?

I made that because for some reason it says I have 3000 hits. Which isn't possible. But I'd like to think it was. So that forum is for proof that someone except the people on DA likes my comic. Besides, it's purple.

More to come on that. When I finish my math stuff, I should be much better going on it...

If I don't get any entries for the face contest by September, I'm closing it and drawing all the faces myself. Which would suck because I suck. But, one thing i WILL do if you don't want to do it is draw the Sora faces myself. I realize his hair is a bitch...geez, ppl, you know Riku's hair isn't a bitch, right? Draw him instead. I'll take care of Sora if you want me do, damnit. I also might post a "Sora Hair Tuitorial" just for those of you who fear it.

My name on the something-that-starts-with-an-S-but-I-can't-remember-it-server on Maple story is Genesiskun.

Maverick Heart pg 6 is up if you haven't noticed.

Today I was driving the peeps up to church and HOLY CRAP the clutch BROKE like I stepped on it and it just fell in and BROKE and it was right in the middle of the road when I was trying to make a left turn. we couldn't make the car go anywhere because it wouldn't change gears, but my guy peep backed it into a driveway by the sheer force of gravity. Across three lanes of traffic. Yikes. And people wonder why I want an automatic??

School is overwhelming...during the day is the only time I draw, and then the afternoon is the only time I have time to color...so it won't be a wonder if I get pictures inked faster than I get them colored...marching band takes up most of the afternoon... But I did manage to get MH6 done and soon I will probably go to Riku and Sora mermen and then do Lucifer. I'm not writing any music for now, so...tough luck if that's what you want. I won't want anything to DO with music after band practice... and next week it goes to four days a week plus sectionals and class. I just want to draw!! That's all I want!

Damn, I got scammed on Maple Story. But I reported the little bastard, so that's okay. His ID is funymunkey so stay away from him!!! I saw him last hanging out outside Perion in the first server on the list...

School was alright. I really like my web design class, even though by the time she (the teacher) is finished running her mouth I have very little time to do anything on the computer. Still, I'm learning a lot and hopefully will be able to make the MH webpage much prettier soon.

I have a bunch of pictures backed up waiting to be colored. Bear with me. I have very little time at home as it is, what with marching band and all...

Akio's Theme is not WRITTEN or RECORDED on the computer so DON'T ASK, . I'll tell you when it is.

Hey... ...I'm doing your sketch in normal proportions for the sake of schmexiness, okay?

...I hope you like Moon Child. You better if you call yourself a Gackt fan

*sigh* I knew I would get more pictures drawn while I was in school, but I honestly didn't expect to be drawing more pictures than I was able to work on on the pc...so, patience plz, don't hold your breath. Every request will be finished shortly.

*sighs again* On a more personal note...my BF told me that...well. N/m...that's nobody's business. But I feel like we're having trouble...even if he doesn't even think so, and I may just be overreacting...I really want to be with him and have a relationship...I'm just scared that if I can't actually BE WITH him it won't work...and...well...I just have so much else going on...I have PLENTY to occupy myself with when he's not around...but I really want to spend more time with him...but I don't want to take away time from anything...or anyONE else...(the person I'm talking about, you know who you are)...Gyah. Screw it, I don't know what I want...

This is Kaori Raven, over and out.

If I don't get any entries for the face contest by September, I'm closing it and drawing all the faces myself. Which would suck because I suck. But, one thing i WILL do if you don't want to do it is draw the Sora faces myself. I realize his hair is a bitch...geez, ppl, you know Riku's hair isn't a bitch, right? Draw him instead. I'll take care of Sora if you want me do, damnit. I also might post a "Sora Hair Tuitorial" just for those of you who fear it.

School starts tommorow my last day of freedom...and I spent almost all of it on summer reading and part of it on a PIGEON MOVIE!! man...

i AM working on things. In fact, I'm almost done with a picture based on the novel In Cold Blood. The movie is Capote. Kamui should be up soon, as well...and Maverick Heart is coming along. Let the yaoiness of that comic begin as of this page. anyway...

Got my memory card back and has beaten Kingdom Hearts! Before me, like she said she would! So very soon many more screens of KH:R will go up. Yep...

I started playing Maple Story. It's pretty fun, except I have no friends on my server and uh...I suck. Yeah...pretty much sums it up. I'll play more later so I won't suck.

Believe it or not, I get more drawing done in school than when I have free time. So expect more!! I may also start a project that none of you will like. Because most of you like yaoi or something else that totally contradicts it. But anyway...

This is Kaori Raven, over and out.

Band camp ended today. Sigh. I'm happy, but dead. The two go hand in hand sometimes. Our show is about death this year...how emo...

Vaahl and Watching Over You are my newest pieces, made during the boredom of band camp. I also have something that's not done, a picture of Akira and his BF in a Moulin Rouge scene. I'll try to get to some of the stuff I have down there....*points to the bottom of the page* but I make no promises. I have to read a novel, remember?

I'm going to be working on arranging Sephiroth's Theme for band. Other than that, I've been in a musicy mood lately, so I suppose you can expect more of that...I have a new screenshot of KHR that I'll post... OH speaking of KHR I now have half of Kairi's animations done, but I need much more. Before I can continue with the story, I'll need to finish the game which is on a memory card i DON'T HAVE DAMNIT but I guess that's my fault. needs to tell me when I can come get it!!! I think I'll be able to get it this week, Oxie-chan...

I've been yaoi-less for so long. It's crazy. I don't know what I'll do if I don't get some...

If I don't get any entries for the face contest by September, I'm closing it and drawing all the faces myself. Which would suck because I suck.

Sneak Peek: The game will include much about the character's families. For example, *rubyd had an idea that I will be using that riku is yet another brother of the three advent children brothers: Kadaj, Yazoo, and Loz. I mean, c'mon. They ALL have silver hair. Besides, he has to have SOME reason to fight Sephiroth...>>

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....

1. I'm deathly afraid of butterflies. I treat butterflies like yellow jackets and yellow jackets like butterflies...
2. I get more easily happy and excited when I need to use the restroom...O_o
3. Pacing in set, complex, looping routes throughout my yard or home helps me focus my thoughts.
4. When I pull back the edges of certain books, (especially nice bibles, textbooks, and such with soft pages) I can pet them and it feels nice on my hands...and I do it...a lot. O_o
5. I shorted out two gameboys and a mouse with my sweaty hands.
6. I can't usually be very clever or witty in spoken arguments, but in written arguments I can just dish 'em out and dis up a storm...

I tag , , , , and I don't have any other friends that haven't been tagged, I don't think... I'm so alone.

Anyway aside from the really nasty tagged crap...

Band camp is almost over. Look at Maria and Akio's Theme plz. Ummmm...I've been in a pissy mood ever since bc started... but that's normal. Went out with some friends to the mall, but had to go immediately...which sucked...got my case stolen...which sucked...sooo...yeah. That's why maria looks and akio sounds so very emo...

I had the first day of two weeks of BAND CAMP today. Whoop-dee-do. But it'll get to be more fun when we go to Mountasia and White Water. gyaaaaaah but I'm tired right now. Actually, I'm supposed to be taking a nap at the moment, but I decided I wanted to work on Akio's theme instead...sorry, ra-chan...

Apparently I have to do sketches for the first ten people to post here. Keep in mind, they'll only be sketches and I probably won't get to them for like ever. So...patience. If you sign for a sketch, you have to post this in your journal and do sketches for ten ppl. Dopey me, I signed not knowing...

I got the clothes part of my Namine costume, now just need the hair. And meybe shoes, but I can always use my blue flip-flops...

I have two novels to read in two weeks. Yay me. And to write on and compile journals and make vocab lists of. Holy crap.

I also want to clean the house in those same two weeks...Then I have BAND CAMP in between those two weeks...and in the midst of it all I have to compose a piece for the piano in E major...four sharps... *screams* ...and I also have to play and beat both FF7 and 8 and return them to their respective owners.

Thus said, you can expect very little art or work on KH:R. Although you will probably get some...I was gonna do some work on Maverick Heart... But don't be worried if this isn't updated for a week or so...maybe a month...

Oh..and uh...these games rock. Go look at 'em.

Edit: The peeps from the story all have names now:
The apprentice: Kazuki (Japanese name meaning "first of a new generation." It fits.)
The sword: Katanis (formed from piff's suggestion, from "Katana," a type of sword)
The staff: Bakuryou (baku or baka for short, from piff's suggestion, from Japanese name meaning staff)
The goddess: Deana (formed from piff's suggestion, most closely means "heavenly, divine, godly." Nice going, Piff! )
Go say to ~MrPiff that they're good names, not meh.

*points to title* Amazon finally delivered it. It also delivered Mouse House, a Disney Dance mix album. Yessss!!!

I have a fanfic up called Never Have I Ever. It didn't show up for some reason on ppl's DA watch... but it's there. So if you're watching me and have the time to read a short story, plz do.

meh. I had something I was gonna say...

oh yeah. Went to the doctor yesterday and he prescribed something for me to help my sweaty hands. So no more giant messes like the Twilight Twins where the paper is so wet and crinkled you can't see a damn thing... I also found out I have 20/30 vision, which is really upsetting to me. I've always had perfect vision...although I guess I should be thankful, I'm just not happy about it.

Edit: The peeps also have names:
The apprentice: (needs a more childish-type name)
The sword: Katanis (formed from piff's suggestion)

I was playing .hack//outbreak last night 'cause our internet was broken. And ya know what? I got Balmung! *squee* what schmexy digital hotness he ish!!! Couldn't help but get yaoi thoughts when Balmung got so flustered when Kite asked him to join him, though Well, I put Balmung and Wiseman together and their combined comments...it sounded like Kite was their apprentice or something...and I thought...heeeeeyyyyy, that's not a bad idea!!! thus...don't kill me...but another story was born.

The Apprentice: The One Like A More Troubled Kite
Pros: Quiet, brave, intelligent, loyal, hard-working, honest, just, good conscience, un-emo most of the time, open, keeps very few, if any, secrets
Cons: sterile, cannot romantically love, has a hard time having close friends, ignores social problems rather than working them out or worsening them, wants to be used by his friends, has trouble visualizing family or romance

The Sword: The One Like a 16-Year-Old-At-Heart Balmung
Pros: Brave, strong, loyal, very sociable, keeps few secrets, knows how to handle troublesome social situations, disciplined in martial ways
Cons: loud, reckless, stubborn, overprotective, can be a little too honest, bad at keeping most secrets, sometimes overlooks work for social purposes, has trouble staying quiet or still for long periods, narrow window of perception

The Staff: The One Like a Younger Wiseman
Pros: Prudent, noble, very intelligent, wise, reserved, keeps secrets well, can see things from many perspectives, well-behaved, iron-willed
Cons: prefers knowledge and work over social endeavors, hesitant, sometimes overlooks matters of the heart, often ends up keeping too many secrets, cannot pretend to be lower-class or socialize very well with those of lesser education

The Goddess: The One Like an Older Aura
Not a true “goddess,” more of a “high guardian.” Sends the guardians (the sword and the staff) down to the world from the sky in different forms in a cycle of a lifetime or more. They are believed to be her sons, although this is not entirely true. The staff and the sword are meant to compliment one another perfectly so that they will compromise well and almost always do the right thing and protect the world. She halts their growth when their bodies are fully matured and sends them two apprentices to become the next guardians when their tasks and their lives are coming to an end. However, something went wrong this time around and she only sent them one...one with command over both powers, someone potentially dangerous if not trained with perfect care.
Pros: very loyal, protective, gentle, wise, good leader, trusting in her guardians, does not place too much trust in anything or anyone, will not violate anyone’s privacy or life without good cause
Cons: can be very weak under the weight of her responsibility, emo, asks a lot from those she trusts

These are really the only characters I have, other than one very low "gets-killed-in-one-episode" baddie. The story's real power is the interaction between the first three characters. None of them have names. I might just try calling them that the whole time and not giving them names ... O.o or I might just drop it, since I'm not really supposed to be coming up with more crap. I have enough to do.

We're going to work on the downstairs today, so I probably won't be on again until evening...

Rana is up b/c...I couldn't stay up late on the computer last night, so I decided to draw instead. Colored it this morning and put her up. Isn't she pretty? I also did Kai's picture and a "spur-of-the-moment-schmexy-picture-of-Houoh." He's pretty schmexy. But neither one is colored, so you have to wait.

EDIT: Kai's picture is colored and up...isn't he pretty, too?? I'll see if I can do Houoh's that fast too. Also...work ish screwed. I'm having a friend of mine over instead...

EDIT: Okay...Houoh's pic took longer than the others for some reason...probably b/c I put more work into it...but he ish schmexy, you cannot deny. My next personal project will probably be HikoXHouoh yaoi... ...once I get those requests done.

Face graphics contest is up. Go look. I orders you to.

Sneak Peek: I will be releasing screens from the testing sessions once the game is finished and out. One is entitled, "Attack of the Riku Clones." Lolz don't ask, you'll see.

Gave the finished copy of Hikarus's song to Emiri-chan, aspiring j-pop singer. Hopefully she'll make me famous along with her sara-san...I will email you a midi and the lyrics when I am able to put it into those formats.

Went to the pool today. As always, when I went to the pool I thought again of my character, Kai. He's a merman. And he's the sweetest thing. Maybe I should draw him...

I'm working minimum wage to save up for photoshop. No set hours, just doing house work "at my leisure" to earn money for it. What I have now is Adobe Photo Deluxe. Which not only SUCKS, it's also a MEMORY HOG and it's TERRIBLE for making KHR graphics, or any game graphics--no--ANY GRAPHICS AT ALL!!!!!

That first area in the game is huge. I'm not even done with the actuall area still. Geez. So many layers in it, I guess I just...ahghggg.g.......~!@#!@$^$*&(*&^%$#. I feel better now.

I should really take a break from making that game and start drawing again. But I want photoshop so baaaaaad...I could make badass pictures if I could only convince my peeps that it's NOT THE SAME as apd. But they won't listen!!!

Sneak Peek: Riku...has two...??? If I can manage it, Riku, too, will have forms, but there won't be a form gague. Just MP, for now... (it will be a miracle if I can even get the forms down...)

I'll get it done, promise...

I just got DDR Extreme in the mail today. Problem is, Amazon apparently doesn't get that you need the pad to play it. So now I have the game. But I can't play. Well...I can, but it's no fun with the controller. I can't press opposite buttons at once, and I sure as hell can't play that dash thing minigame b/c the directional buttons are on the same base and it makes me jump when I don't mean to. And it's just...no fun.

Coming out with a new picture series...I dubbed it KHX-2. More on that when I actually post one.

I Ienzo. If you don't know who that is, look it up.

Okay...so I lied about being past the Station of Awakening. It's good, yeah. It can basically be done. But there's lots to fine-tune. I need to make it as up-to-par as possible. If not, it's not worth it. I added in a good couple of animations and all...so yeah. More must be done. But now I've at least started on the first world's tileset, but...it's a big area that you start in so...I worked on it for about an hour last night and then I was like "dang...I need to go to bed." I didn't even get done with half the area. I didn't even touch the events.

Sneak Peek: The way you shape Riku's personality in the beginning effects whether he will fall in love with sora, roxas, or a girl...so yaoi and non-yaoi fans alike can play with the desired results.

I'll get it done, promise...

(I am namine for convention)

I stayed up until 3 working on KH:R. I'm actually PAST the station of awakening now. Which is an achievement since it has four areas, over fifteen different events, over twenty different switches, a custom tileset, the first of many custom charactersets, two custom monsters, like eight transitions, custom sound and music, two custom battle animations...and you get the point.

I would post my log if it did not contain spoilers. I will post it once the game is out.

Right now, KH:R is turn based. NUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!! So if ANYONE knows enough about RGSS scripts in RPGMXP to help me anhililate that horrible con in the game, I would love them forever and ever and they'd have their own special spot in my heart, and most of all, the game's credits.

For now, I will give you the worlds that may or may not be featured in KH:R depending on people's reaction to them. (mild KH2 spoilers below)

Destiny Islands
Radiant Garden
101 Dalmations
Robin Hood
Olympus Colliseum (even though I hate this world, tournaments are a must)
Disney Castle
Sword in the Stone (still thinking maybe Black Cauldron may be more suited to the game, but I haven't seen Black Cauldron yet)
Howl's Moving Castle (Miyazaki is affiliated with disney, SQUEEE!!!!)
Halloween Town (I'm dying to see Riku in costume...Note me if you think can design and draw him)
Fantasia (SQUEEE!!!)
The Final World (Note me if you have an idea)

Other possible candidates are, like I said, the Black Cauldron, and then there's Mary Poppins, and Pride Lands. Winnie the Pooh and Tron might still be in it, but I don't think Riku would take kindly to pooh as far as his personality is concerned, and although I loved the tron movie to death, I hated the tron world. Might still have to include him though for ansem's computer, even if the world isn't there. Twilight town may also be featured since I have a good many graphics stored up for it. If you have any suggestions, let me know.

Other than that, I'm really excited about the Howl's Moving Castle and Fantasia worlds. Those are gonna be fun. especially the dancing 'shrooms~!!!! Halloween Town seemed like it would be a little redundant, but if I can get a good boss at the end and squeeze in enough plot twists, it'll be worth seeing Riku decked out like a phantom/vampire/whatever he'll be. And Radiant Garden will be an excellent world to bring back for Riku's sake... But for the Collisseum, I need new tournament ideas. The KH2 ones were getting a little stale, so I'm gonna need REALLY good ideas. Yeah.

New heartless would be nice! Especially for the new worlds. Fantasia's gonna be a kinda tough one to cast heartless for. That's alright though. I have resources.

ANYONE WHO WANTS TO HELP WITH GAME OR GRAPHIC DESIGN OR HAS MP3s/MIDIS/SFX FROM THE GAMES OR THE WORLDS IS WELCOME TO THE PROJECT!!! has already contributed graphics to the game, which was a BIG help~! The game is non-profit, meaning NO ONE is sitting in an office somewhere getting rich off it and all credit is given during the credits which are right now practically empty--they contain TWO PEOPLE and all the (c) Squeenix, studio ghibli, etc stuff. PLEASE note me if you even have the slightest IDEA that you might be able to help. And please tell me if it's your sprites I'm using for the charactersets. Because I don't know whose they are. Even people who want to work on the storyline and character personalities are most welcome.

If the final product is good enough, I might even want to send it to Squeenix to show them how much we love Kingdom Hearts. Like fan art or anything else. And hope I don't get sued, even though I'm not selling any part of the game and I give credit where credit is due. Oh well.

I'll get it done, promise...

I am done with work and now I work on Hikarus's Theme ver 2005 again. It's all done, I just need to get it written.

I don't know what it was. But made a breakthrough on her singing. She has a much fuller sound now, her tuning is excellent, her tone...AAAGGGHHH why didn't she ever sing like that before!!! It made me cry when she sang 'cause it was so pretty!!

I'm sick of being on the same damn page of the same damn volume of Whitefox so I'm working on it. But until gives the other pages back, I can't post anything. oh well.

Hump day is almost always Wednesday. That's because...well...I'm doing a class right now and...yeah. It lasts a week. So today is hump day. I'm over the hump. Makes me happy.

I'll get it done, promise...

Prequel to Sequel
Today's Topic: Story Development
Holy crap. The second game scares me. I'm freaking serious. I get all worked up over it and sometimes I even get scared during gameplay. (Plz note this is not the girl you want to put in front of Silent Hill or Doom ) But anyway...you notice the E10+ rating on the second game that I don't think was on the first? Yeah. I know why now. The gameplay that scared me most was in Beast's castle when you're going through...and I don't know why...but when I don't anticipate it, it doesn't scare me...but when I do, it scares the fucking CRAP out of me when those statues jump out!! I'm fucking serious!! The scariest part of the story, though, was right in the beginning when I was fighting Roku's shadow. O_o That scared me. The seven wonders scared the bageezes outta me... OKAY, OKAY!! GO AHEAD AND LAUGH!!! GO AHEAD!!! But it WAS pretty creepy on the sixth day when I didn't exist.... QUIT LAUGHING AT ME~!!!! ]]> ~athenastar17 http://athenastar17.deviantart.com/journal/9057458/ http://athenastar17.deviantart.com/journal/9057458/ Tue, 13 Jun 2006 13:45:35 PDT I AM ZEXION

I have ID!! I am so proud of it!!! YAAAAAAAAY!!!!

More muzik, and Udeso is up too. Obviously you can tell I get a helluvah lot done when I'm bored. *sigh* needs to make Udeso's costume now. ERm...not make, design. >> yeah... you don't have to add the things under his eyes, unless you think they're cool. I personally think they turned out a little like...a football player. But I didn't save before I smeared it, so...poor me. oh well.

This is udesophim => lolz

I need 2 draw more now!!! I feel like making more pretty drawings, which is rare when I don't have something else I'm SUPPOSED to be doing... >>

Driver's stuff sucks. I don't want to see another car again after this week. That's all I'm doing, driving, driving, driving. I'd rather draw. But if I ever want to get my costumes together, I must. -.-

I have no pen with which to do my 1/2 page comics, so I must pilfer one from somewhere...until then, the 1/2 page comics including Whitefox and Angelic Gate are not going to be worked on. In the mean time, I'm rewriting chapter one of a story I'm writing that no one outside my family has read yet. If I can't get it published, I'll post it here. If I don't finish, I'll post it here too.

*doesn't yawn* back to work...

I'll get it done, promise...

I'm emo. ...I have written you a letter I hope you will never read until I am dead or we are both separated. It's awful and nasty and cruel, and I spill my guts out onto the table for you to see, using f*** every other sentence and telling you everything I never wanted to tell you for fear that you would push me away and suffer for it. Don't worry...I'm just having a phase, as I'm tired from the night before and I'm so simple minded. I had half a mind to send you that letter, but I'm afraid it might do something catostrophic. If you can't believe anything else, just know that I love you and that will probably never change. My crystal ball is broken now. But maybe sometime years from now, I will show you what I wrote today and laugh and say, "Wasn't I such a dork? I must have been really emo to say something that stupid and out there..." But until that day...
