So yeah, if you're watching me, watch me there now.

Amd um...

Most of my stuff won't be transfered over. Some yes, but not all. Infact practically nothing will. I don't know I'll decide that later >.<

Thanks!

--/EDIT--

Notice no new updates?
Yeah. I have been drawing though. Just not scanning.

So I'm asking for help:

My scanner does not pick up pencil, at all. I've tried tweaking the settings, and it just refused to pick it up. I like scanning before I ink just in case I royally screw up the inking, and sometimes I only ink half the thing. Does anybody have any idea how to get this to work?


Um... what else is new?

I saw 'Dark Knight' last night with Scott. Amazing. Seriously, I've never been so impressed on both a plot and cinematic level. Heath Ledger was just, god-like in the movie. I seriously recommend watching it, you won't be sorry.

I bought a DS a week ago. Love it. I'm thinking of designing something on the DS, as it's just black. Some sort of silver "barbed wire" but not barbed wire kind of thing. Would be entertaining to say the least.

My art-box has officially died. Completely, and utterly, dead. There are two tiers in it, when you open it. Both pieces that attach the first tier to the second tier no longer stay in place, and therefore, half the time it refuses to open.

Gives me a good excuse to buy a new one though

Though I don't have much in terms of samples on my DA, I am taking requests (my art has changed since 'Hallway' and 'Me' so don't doubt me!) and if you have one, leave a message. I'll pretty much do anything... If you have some specific character, attach a reference please!

I'll get some up! I swear
In the mean time, birthday is coming (OMFG *rolls eyes*)
17. Wow. I'm too young to vote, drink, gamble, move out, or have consent. Yet I can drive. Yip-friggen-ee
If you're not gonna donate to Guatemala, draw me a picture and I'll be tres happy.

Also I've recently been inspired to work harder.

Recently a lot of things have happened causing me to lose interest in a lot of things (ie: I quit my job, I'm almost failing two courses, counciling) but, but things have been getting better in some parts (ie: making a new friend ^_^) So, I'm going to get my butt back into gear (Mr. Gordon is probably cheering)

So, once I finish my stochiometry homework, I'm sitting down and getting to work. That's right people, I'm retreating back to the crappy scanner. Worse comes to worse, Lunayasha's scanner is good. I could always just take hers

I bought myself a Wacom 4x6 Tablet for $130

And man do I love it. I can do digital art again! Rejoice!

So we'll see now if I still need that scanner.
I also have my own digital camera now, so I can do more photography. Yay!

Social Studies.
Of all things.
I really don't know what I want to do now when I get out of high school. I can move on to teaching social studies, which is something that is really sticking out to me, or I can go venture into Graphic Arts. I like both, but one leads me to a career of arts, and one to teaching. I like both, and it's not like I can judge between the two by income. I've checked. They pay generally the same.
Gah this is gonna beinteresting.

In other news, I haven't gotten around to doing much. I've been busy with work and homework. Not fun.
That and the cord for our Digital Camera has gone missing. I had a "Sarah" series planned out, which is entirly pictures of my friend Sarah, but, alas, the cord goes missing, and I can't get them on the computer.
Great.

But I have posted more pictures, that I had taken on a whim. Hope you like

I'm starting school again soon, so there might be more school project kind of stuff up on here, so be prepared. ]]> ~closing-chaos http://closing-chaos.deviantart.com/journal/9297573/ http://closing-chaos.deviantart.com/journal/9297573/ Thu, 06 Jul 2006 23:13:06 PDT It was a long process of picking through them all, and deciding what looked good, and what didn't, but I made it. And I'm happy with it.

I'm thinking about doing a webcomic this summer, to practice my drawing, and just have a little fun, but I have so many ideas that can't fit into one comic, so I'll be thinking about this for a bit now. ]]> ~closing-chaos http://closing-chaos.deviantart.com/journal/9070477/ http://closing-chaos.deviantart.com/journal/9070477/ Wed, 14 Jun 2006 19:49:35 PDT
That's really it XD ]]> ~closing-chaos http://closing-chaos.deviantart.com/journal/8596066/ http://closing-chaos.deviantart.com/journal/8596066/ Wed, 26 Apr 2006 19:57:57 PDT
In my computer graphics class, we're producing, editing, and direction videos. Mine's on Teenage Stereotypes. I'm hoping that it'll turn out, although I've reached some major dead ends due to the fact that I can only get a cammera every once in awhiile

There isn't really much to say, aside from, if your art teacher ever says to you, that you'll be working with foam (spungy foam) run. Run like there is no tomorrow. ]]> ~closing-chaos http://closing-chaos.deviantart.com/journal/8299683/ http://closing-chaos.deviantart.com/journal/8299683/ Tue, 28 Mar 2006 21:57:31 PST Damn foam carving animal thingys.
It's not looking that bad (well it was until Mr. Gordon attacked it with his Edward Scissorhands way) but now it's lopsided, to which I'm going "AH! NO!"

There isn't really anything going on art wise in my life really.
Eh, I'm sure something will come up. It always does. ]]> ~closing-chaos http://closing-chaos.deviantart.com/journal/8107980/ http://closing-chaos.deviantart.com/journal/8107980/ Wed, 08 Mar 2006 22:33:41 PST
As you can see, I have an avatar. Yes, finially, I got around to making one, out of an icon that I made a little while ago. I loved the icon, and so I shrunk it down. I also made an author tag, but it doesn't look that great. Oh well, I'm still happy with it.

About 20 minutes ago, stoped working on a picture that I love. I started drawing randomly, and suddenly got inspired. And as I drew it, I was listening to OLP (Our Lady Peace) and it just sort of fit. I would love to show you once I finish it. So let's hope.

Nothing else to report really. The computer animation I'm making for my graphic's class, went odd the other day, when his feet stoped moving, but the rest of the body walked away. That was odd. But the even stranger thing was that nothing was wrong. We just deleted the foot prints and they were back to normal again.

Well I better run. I have two hours of socials tomorrow, and I think we'll be working on essays. That, and the power is fading in and out. ]]> ~closing-chaos http://closing-chaos.deviantart.com/journal/8032848/ http://closing-chaos.deviantart.com/journal/8032848/ Tue, 28 Feb 2006 22:15:17 PST
Well I got that 2-point-perspective done and handed in. 17/20. Not bad, not bad. I think the problem was, it was very...rough...as in, all I had was a large brush, because other people took the really small ones, and kept them the entire time. And buying a decent watercolour small brush, does not come cheap. So now we're making giant foam animal heads. They can be masks, puppets, or just wall hangings. This sounds like work, but a lot of fun, so I'm really excited to try it out.

In computers on the other hand. Oh-boy. I missed most of my class two classes ago, due to an appointment with my neurologist (Update on that: Most likely and anxiety disorder, but told not to worry about it unless it becomes a problem), and so I missed the learning class. So I tried to catch up the best I can only relying off notes. I did fairly well. But I missed a good portion of the next class, because my alarm decided to fail, completely on me. So I didn't wake up till about 8:50ish. So now I'm really behind, we're starting to animate tomorrow, and I haven't even attached the biped to my character, nor have I textured my scene. Great. Just great. And I would have come after school today to work on it, if it wasn't for the fact that my teacher, wasn't there. So, now once again, I have to go in after school tomorrow to work on it, and seriously catch up.

In other news, I have a brand new toy. A 250 gig, Pentium I computer, with (as I found out about and hour ago) that doesn't have a CD-rom drive. I'm going to have fun with this -snicker-

I took the liberty of deleting my old ID. I hated it, it looked bad...and such and such.

And I've decided to use this journal as my "art/graphics w007" journal, because my LJ isn't any good for that, and neither is an MSN space.

In art we're doing a 2-point-perspective piece, that needs to be painted and finished completely by Tuesday. I've missed a couple classes due to random appointments, for ortho, and heart monitors. (In case you're wondering nothing's wrong with me as of yet. I still have a neurologist appointment coming up, but I doubt that will bring anything up). Anyways back to the painting. I hate washes. With a passion. I can never get them right, and when I finially do, I think I should fix one thing and then it'll be perfect, only to mess the entire thing up, and thus, bad wash again. Thus my clouds look like random splotches. Yay. I'll take a picture of it when it's completed...hopefully.

In other news, I have been instructed to redo my distortion picture. What is that? Look into something that distorts your image, draw the object and you, and either shade it entirely, colour it, paint it, etc. Well I did a spoon, and was instructed to do it again. Yea, I've never liked spoons either. Now, the major problem, is that there is litterally nothing shiney in my house. I would use the bathtub faucet, but the faucet doesn't actually reflect anything. None of my faucets do! The pots don't either, because they're so old! I was thinking about finding the stupid spaghetti pot that we don't use anymore, because it's still relitively new.

Tomorrow would be a really good day to get some sketching done. I have the day off from school tomorrow (and the Friday of next week), and my best friend, her brother, and I are heading out to Opus, and to the mall to have some fun. And to pick up my pants

Well I think this ramble was long enough. ]]> ~closing-chaos http://closing-chaos.deviantart.com/journal/7841660/ http://closing-chaos.deviantart.com/journal/7841660/ Wed, 08 Feb 2006 20:53:42 PST
So meaning once I reach my mark, there'll be some nice photographs or something for you to look at until I get a scanner

I've written a lot though. Nothing that I've deemed worthy, as of yet. I would have to edit and rewrite in order to be happy...-sigh- ]]> ~closing-chaos http://closing-chaos.deviantart.com/journal/7610959/ http://closing-chaos.deviantart.com/journal/7610959/ Sun, 15 Jan 2006 13:06:01 PST
Anyways, for those who are actually checking back, the lack of updates, is due to the fact that I am trying to focus my life right now. School is piling on the work, DRIME just started up again, and my friends are keeping me sane. I also need sleep amongst it all.

Random items might pop up here or there, depending on if I actually enjoy what I wrote.

Keep in mind, I'm still young, thus discovering new things in life, so more ideas will come to me at some point.

Also I'm trying to make time to get a job, so I can save up for a nice scanner that doesn't make me angry, plus new furniture for my room.

Check back later. I might post something I had to create in my computers class. We shall see. ]]> ~closing-chaos http://closing-chaos.deviantart.com/journal/6276062/ http://closing-chaos.deviantart.com/journal/6276062/ Sat, 20 Aug 2005 01:14:43 PDT

This is where I'm going to show my progressive work. Taking Graphic Arts, and Studio art courses in school, so I shall hopefully get better as I go along.

Thanks for dropping by, and check back later. I'll have more stuff here soon that you can look at

I still have a few rules and random points:

-Please no flaming. I'm not perfect, so I will accept tips, but no all out flaming.
-If something has a similar style as something else, and this offends you, I'm sorry. It took me a long time to get to where I am, by using references on how to draw things.
-Just cause I like something, like a certian anime, and you don't, doesn't make my picture bad. Please give some things a chance.

P.s. I met Kirby Morrow. Got autographs and talked for a little bit. He's really nice. I'm working on a thank you picture for him and hopefully I can find a trustworth address to send it to. That was fun. ]]> ~closing-chaos
