His glory is high in the Heavens, and spread far across the entire span of the creation of the world. He is the might in us all. He is the power of which we speak. He is the breath that we intake every waking moment of our lives. He is the light of the world. He is the splendid God that has made us all in his image, and by that, we are designed and constructed to the ways and laws by which God has constructed and formed through the glory of his son, Jesus Christ, and through us all.<br /><br />Oh Lord, you are the one that is faithful. You are the one that will show the world the power of your glory and the might of your strength. None can stand against you, and none shall oppose you.

                <description><![CDATA[ This world is a place that despises me. They donÂt accept me for who I am, and who I want to be. They look at me different in the world. They look at me as an abomination to the world, like I am so different from them. But I donÂt need to listen to them, or bow down to them. They are not my judge, my teacher, my counselor. They are not my listener, my Lord, my creator.<br /><br />God is the final judge of the world, and no other judge has right to call him or herself something that he or she is not. They have no right to judge me like they do, but they do all the more. They do not care for me, and do not have remorse for me. I can only concern myself with only myself, and save as many of them as I can possibly save right now.<br /><br />This world is a violent place filled with murder and evil. It is filled with corruption and destruction. It is filled with evil violence from everywhere. The world believes that they own a planet that was not created by them, but in time, will ultimately be judged for actions that secretly eat away at their existence, thus leading them to their own death. They do not believe this, and thrust through the world every other possible reason to deny the true successor of the world. But you canÂt do that. <br /><br />You have grown up in a world that has tried to conform you to something that you are not meant to be, and were not meant to be. It is so hard for you to see the way. But the truth is there. It is waiting for you to open your heart to something that is pure and holy.<br /><br />All the more, these people still despise me. They think that I must be like them, and that I must be conformed to their ways and beliefs. That is the typical thinking of a demon. They are no different, and will not touch me. They find me despicable for everything that I am. Evil always tries to put down good, but good always tries to help them. They donÂt realize that their own actions are leading to their own deaths, but I will try to save them.<br /><br />I will try to save them for a terrible ending. I will help to rescue them and show them the truth. I am no judge of the Earth, and am only here to show them a better life. Judgment belongs to the Lord. They must be willing to make the change, not me. If they accept the truth, they will find mercy and forgiveness. They will find love, and most of all, they will find lifeÂthrough Jesus.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ God, you light up my world. You give me a lot in life, and of life. You show me things that change the foundations of my mind, and my inner being. Jesus, you sterilize and cleanse my soul from the impurities of evil, and by doing so, I am saved. God, you are Lord, and you have the light to brighten the darkest moments of my life. Nothing can stand up against you, Father. You are the creator and founder of the universe, and with your son, I may be saved from sin. All was made possible when you spoke through the darkness, and you created the light, and separated them both equally. <br /><br />You are the greatest God that I know, and the only greatest, single God that I know. Through the Father and Son alike, you are everlasting. There are others that call themselves Gods, but are not. They are nothing when it comes to your mighty power. You have the wisdom, the love and understanding that no one in creation could have. You have all the glory, and all the power. You deserve all of the praise, and all of the worship. My devotion goes out to you, Father God. Of all these things that you have, you also have something else that is special to me. ItÂs something that you gave me when I was born, and something that I treasure, and donÂt take for granted. You gave me my life. You gave me the power to live, and to walk and talk. Through your Son, Jesus Christ, I live. I exalt the Father, and the Son alike. You, Father, and your Son, Jesus, are one in the same. You two are together, residing within the same being together. This way, I can exalt Jesus, and by doing so, I exalt him and you through him.<br /><br />I love you, God. As I sit here and pray with my heart open for you, Lord, I pray that you give me the inspiration, and the encouragement to make the right decisions in life. I ask you, Father, that you show me the understanding in lifeÂs decisions and ways that I have not fully seen. I ask you for the corrections needed to allow me to understand your glory and praise whenever I fall short of your glory, Lord. And I ask you for your Holy Spirit to reside within me, so that I may continue to exalt the Son through you, Father. <br /><br />I ask you for the presence of you, God to come to me in times of great need when I am upset, scared, or crying. I ask you to light up my darkest days when I am not feeling well. I ask you that I may have the extended compassion, love, and mercy for others, for to be forgiven, I must forgive others, and by this, your law is stated. But most of all, I ask that I may receive the knowledge and understanding that is necessary for me to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and by doing so, that I may exalt the Son, Jesus Christ, and raise up the NAME OF JESUS in your honor, Lord God. <br /><br />I thank you for the time that I have spent here today being able to talk with you, Lord God. Please let it be that I may raise the mighty name of JESUS high on eagleÂs wings. <br /><br />In JesusÂ Name, I PrayÂ<br /><br />Amen.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ This is a favorite question that I really do love answering quite commonly all the time. The Lord is someone that I know personally in my heart, and someone whom I show considerable praise and love towards. HeÂs not just someone that I show praise and worship simply because I am forced to, but only because I willingly want to. ItÂs true that God has proclaimed himself as a jealous God, and that he wishes that I follow him. But I follow the Lord simply because I want to, and I donÂt want to disappoint him in his name.<br /><br />Following God is one thing that I really appreciate and love doing. By doing so, I show him praise, and I worship him. I follow his word, the Holy Bible (KJV), and by doing this, I find my life to become easier. God has made me promises that he can keep for me in the end. God is the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the ending. I follow God because I love him with all my heart, mind, and soul. I would do anything for him. I praise him when I go to Church, and I worship him in Church as well. The Lord is a mighty God before us all. GodÂs love toward me has made my heart love him, and show him honor.<br /><br />Even when I am on the streets, I still think of God all the time, and of how many glorious wonders he has waiting for me in Heaven. But I have to follow him. I have to praise him, and worship him. I have to show him honor, follow his word, and also by keeping the Sabbath day holy. I also have to fear God out of respect. When I fear my mother out of respect to do what is right, I also do this when I fear God. I donÂt fear God as an angry, violent God. I fear him to do what is right. By doing what is right, I follow his word, his ways, and his voice. This is what is called by, Âlistening to the voice of the Lord.Â<br /><br />I love singing gospel songs and other worship songs for him as well. I try to keep his commandments as best as I possibly can, even if we may not be perfect beings. I love God, and I will do whatever his will for me is. I also love studying the Word a few days throughout the week as well. Even if itÂs not Sunday yet, I still read the Word. I want to know more of the truth. I want to know Jesus better as my Lord and Savior, and I want to praise and worship him. I love Jesus as do I love God. My spirit connects me with the Lord, and it connects me with Jesus. I love The Son with all my heart, and my way to Heaven can only be through him. I personally love the Lord and Jesus because I keep them close to my heart as my protectors. I look to Jesus for answers all the time, and I pray to him and to God when I am upset, and when I am confused. <br /><br />Prayer is another important factor that I implement into my life. How can we get to know the Lord better if we donÂt pray to him? Praying helps to connect you with God, and it helps you to get to know him better, and to get to know Jesus better. I appreciate and love everything that is of the Lord, and of Jesus, and without doubt, I put my devotion towards God simply because of the love I have for him.<br /><br />As it is said: The Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey, everyone...<br /><br />I just finished up reading Judges:3 from my Bible (KJV). This is my summary on it:<br /><br />Israel goes off to serve Baalim, and they also dwell among the surronding nations which are the Hivites, Hittites, Perizzites, Armorites, Canaanites, and Jebusites. Israel also eventually serves Chushan-Rishathaim, king of Mesopotamia. God becomes angry with that, and raises up a judge called Othneil, son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother. He judges Israel and then goes off to war, and his hand prevails against Chushan-Rishathaim. He then passes away, and Israel does evil in the sight of God again. From there, he strengthens Eglon, king of Moabites, and the sons of Ammon, and Amelek, and they go out and smite Israel. Israel cries to God, and God raises up another judge named Ehud, son of Gera, a benjamite, and he goes out to Eglon and says he has a message from God, and pulls out a dagger from his right thigh, and plunges it into his stomach. His men come in, and find their lord dead on the ground. Eglon has been killed by Ehud. And Ehud escapes. From there, Ehud calls Israel and says God has delivered the Moabites into your hands, and they together go out and kill roughly 10,000 men. From there, Shamgar, son of Anath, goes out and slays roughly 600 Phillistines with an Ox Goad. And he also delivers Israel.<br /><br />Trust me, I didn't type this directly from my Bible, I truly did not! Somehow, I remember practically everything from this chapter. Took me about 3x to read it over, and get it fully stuck in my head. I also take notes in my Bible. <br /><br />And it's been known that I have reading comprehensive problems!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ My Journey to the Holy God of Heaven:<br /><br />My Holy Journey leads me to one that is most inspiring to me of all time. And now, I let it grab hold of my very heart, and I let it in. I let the Lord into the door of my heart so that he may purify me. I let him in so that I may serve in his name, and so that I may serve in the name of Jesus, and to do well in his sight. However, sin holds me down. I want to do the right thing, and sometimes, I feel so bad that I have sinned that I feel as if I am not worthy enough to be seen by the sight of anyone. I hide myself from the faces of people around me, and I pray. I break apart into pieces, knowing that what I have done is wrong. So, I look towards Jesus because I know that he will have the answer. The answer is Him! Sometimes, I am saying to myself, ÂJesus is asking me something, but what answer do I give him?Â Am I even worthy enough to speak? Jesus says to me, ÂYes, you are, my child.Â From this, I am cured, and am spiritually moved. To know that the Lord has allowed me to speak in his presence is the peace of my heart. So I answer and tell him what I have done right and wrong. I speak to him, and tell him what is bothering me on a daily basis. I know now that he hears me. Never shall I doubt the Lord, for he is God! He is the reflection of God, and he is my Savior. Jesus is the answer, my answer! As he once said, ÂI am the way, the truth, and the life.Â<br /><br />The Favorite Book:<br /><br />Oh, man! I donÂt really understand how people cannot see it when itÂs in front of their faces. The Bible is the book of all time. Of all the books that could possibly exist in the entire world, the Bible is one book that never fails, and always has the answers that youÂre looking for. The Bible may not always have the answer in the way in which youÂre looking for it, but the Bible brings understanding. In that, also exists wisdom, which is also another form of understanding. The Bible brings forth the Holiness of God, and of Jesus, and shows you the adventures of Israel, and of the life of Jesus Christ, Our Savior! If you can understand the Bible in the way that is good to you, it will bring forth so many answers, and you will be surprised at how much is in this awesome book!<br /><br /><br /><br />When I Pray:<br /><br />This is a time when I must come to the Lord, and pray. Praying is one of the most powerful ways that I spiritually find to be most successful in my life. Praying is the key and the ticket to God. Praying to the Father is one that I couldnÂt possibly explain enough. All I know is that when I pray, I instantly start to feel the Love and the Mercy that is in GodÂs heart fall upon me, and it hits me harder when I am crying to God. You want to know why? Because I know there is NO ONE greater than God. I know that I believe in the Lord, and I know that I believe that Jesus died on the cross for the repentance of mankindÂs sins. I believe in Jesus, and I know that he is King of all Kings, and Lord of all Lords! I know there exists a Father in Heaven, and I know that when all else fails, he doesnÂt! He can show me the way that will heal everything that is wrong with me, and he can deliver from evil into his holy hands, and he can do well with me. I trust in the Lord, because he never fails. The Bible tells me the good things of the Lord, and of Jesus, and of the good things that are to come when the end of the world is upon us. For his holy servants will be with him. The reason why I feel so intense about writing this is because when I talk about God, and I ultimately know who God is, there enters a love that is COMPLETELY indescribable to my heart, and the meaning of ÂFatherÂ just tells me that the Lord will keep you, and he will show you good things in your sight. Here today, I worship the Holy Lord God of Heaven, and I worship Lord Jesus, for Jesus is the way to Heaven. Through Jesus, I can reach the Father, and I can live with Jesus, and with God forever, and I can learn so much wisdom in this world that will forever keep me safe from harm, and will forever keep Satan away from me. For here today, I rebuke Satan in the name of Jesus Christ, for he can do nothing. He failed, and betrayed the Lord long ago, and he was cast into the bottomless pit. For it is him that I shall reject, and slam the door in front of. When the Lord calls upon me, and ask me of my presence, to Him shall I open the door, and welcome with all my heart, and all my soul, and all my might. For I serve the Lord of Heaven, the Lord God of the Holy Bible. This is MY God of the Bible, of Life, and of Heaven. The Lord Jesus is forever my Master, and teacher, the one in whom I put all of my faith, my trust, and to whom I worship fully with all of my heart and soul. The Lord God of Heaven, in who created He the entire Earth and Heavens is whom I worship. For this, I worship my Savior, and the Father of all fathers whom forever exists in Heaven!<br /><br />Closing Remarks:... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ How to Make Manga<br /><br />Hello, everyone!<br /><br />Today, I will be explaining in how to make and create your own manga. By the way, this is the same process that I use to create a manga project that I am currently making.<br /><br />First off, there are a series of steps to take when a manga is created. They are:<br /><br />--Main Idea/Plot<br /><br />--Plot development<br /><br />--Rough Draft/Panel Layouts<br /><br />--How to start when you draw<br /><br />--Common errors/mistakes<br /><br />--Designing Characters<br /><br />--Under Drawing<br /><br />--Inking your picture<br /><br />--Final Touches<br /><br />--Ending<br /><br />Well, I guess I could start with the idea of your manga. To start, youÂll need to come up with an idea for your manga creation/story.<br /><br />How do you get an idea in your head?<br /><br />Sometimes gathering the right idea together can become really difficult, even for a genius. What you can do is start with something small. Stand up and walk around your house, and take a look at some things that are in your house. Look at people, and try and look at inanimate objects such as books, chairs, a pair of glasses, or even your dog. A lot of times, the greatest of ideas come from the smallest of any object. <br /><br />What can you make out of a small idea?<br /><br />Take this next paragraph for example:<br /><br />I got up this morning, and the phone rang. I answered the ringer, and it was my mother. She told me a few things, and then I hung up the ringer. I got out of bed, got a shower and dressed well for school, and then I went downstairs to grab something to eat. After I finished, I went back upstairs and grabbed my glasses. Afterwards, I went downstairs, and told my father that I loved him, and then left to catch the school bus.<br /><br />In the above paragraph, a few couple of ideas are mentioned such as a phone, my mother, food, glasses, and school.<br /><br />If I were to give you these five words:<br /><br />--Phone<br />--Mother<br />--Food<br />--Glasses<br />--School<br /><br />Could you write a story with these five words included? I could! <br /><br />Now, what you are probably thinking is why would I use these words to come up with a cool idea? I could say that you donÂt have to use these exact words for an idea. The point of gathering together a great idea, or a series of ideas, comes from the experiences and even your decisions that you make in life. <br /><br />The only probable reason why you wouldnÂt use these words is because you think they suck, right? Well, take into consideration what I said before. Sometimes, the greatest of ideas come from the smallest of any object.<br /><br />For example, I will use the word: glasses<br /><br />What cool idea could I get out of the word: glasses?<br /><br />Well, letÂs say that I have a pair of glasses and that these pair of glasses are not just any ordinary pair of glasses, but these glasses have the power to look into a personÂs heart. ThereÂs the idea right there. Now, what would I do with these special glasses? How could I create a further, extended idea for these glasses? Well, I could say that these glasses have the power to give a person the willpower to change the way a person thinks, or change the way people around me look at me. If I put on the glasses, my ÂmotherÂ, another word that we could use, looks at me different, as if I am a different person, and at the same time, I could see into her heart, and possibly make her think different about me.<br /><br />Now what you may ask is why does my idea only involve a pair of glasses? Well, spice up the idea, and combine it with another?<br /><br />How do I do that?<br /><br />For example, a secret, society is looking after a special pair of glasses. They want to get their hands on these glasses so that they could use the power of the glasses to convert/change everyone to bow to their power and authority. Thus, everyone would become their slaves, and they could create an army to revolt against the world.<br /><br />Why does it even have to be the world?<br /><br />Try and limit yourself with these glasses. You can create a special unit of soldiers that protect the power of these glasses. You could call that unit of yours: Unit 17. And then you can call the people who want the glasses a special gathering of people called the Union.<br /><br />So, in this idea, you now have: Unit 17 vs. The Union.<br /><br />WHAM-BAM-THANK YOU, MAÂAM! And now you have a great idea. And your idea all started from a single pair of glasses!<br /><br />What would the name of my story be?<br /><br />Well, I am going to say that I clearly do not know. But what you can do is explore inanimate objects that relate to the idea of your story. Since your idea is about a pair of glasses, you can relate the idea of glasses to an eye doctor, or lenses.<br /><br />So, what would my title be once I have found a relation to my idea?<br /><br />In this case, you could name your sto... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey, readers!<br /><br />I want to talk about my future, but I want to talk about a specific part of that which I wish to make a part and a place in my life and of my future. You see, I have a big influence in art, and of the beauty and design in which I find in this area of my life. I do have my friends from high school to thank for this handy pick-me-up, because without them, I wouldÂve turned towards something different. IÂm just glad that I chose to fuel something that would, in turn, fuel my creativity for art, and for artistic design and creation.<br /><br />To dell more into how my passion and love for art began, I should tell you how it all began. It started around the years of high school. I finally made it to the 9th grade, and apparently enough, I felt like a true outsider-a person that didnÂt belong in a world such as this one. But my existence and presence of me being at school slowly became apparent and aware to everyone around me, and I accepted them into my life as the only friends that I would ever possibly gain out of high school. Not that it matters to me, though. IÂm used to losing friends in the end anyway, so itÂs not a big deal to me at all.<br /><br />Well, school started off in the state of my average likeliness. In the beginning, I didnÂt really fall into place as everyone else did, but I kept that to myself. I didnÂt let everyone else know how I felt, but I knew that they wouldnÂt care, and could possibly care less. I was sort of a no body in the 9th grade. The moments and days of the beginning marked the beginning of what was to be, and what is now.<br /><br />The days of being a 9th grader were rather satisfying to my poor, little soul. My I gained my strength throughout this year, and learned of my surroundings, and of my friends and of my enemies.<br /><br />One year had passed by, and I finally made it into 10th grade-the days of being a sophomore. I still remember to this day that I was so damn, happy that I finally reached a grade that actually two digits in it! Yes, I was also a weird kid back then, but to me, I felt as if to everyone else, I was just another kid to talk to, and served no real purpose for being there. This was also the point in my life when high school drama started to fill in the open gaps of my life.<br /><br />The year of being a junior was sort of the same type of drama, and same type of classes. Friends that I had seen in previous years were with me as well. I was happy for them, as they were for meÂI think. The year of being a junior was also the year where I became more apparent of the traveling news of the seniors. I can still remember that my entire class was completely jealous of the entire senior class. Being a senior was a privilege, but it was also a gift. After much work only then would you receive the ranking of being a senior. Personally, I didnÂt care about the fun of being a senior. I was moreover concerned with the fact that I had finally made it to the final grade, but just like all three grade, ending transitions of school, you also have to take note of the fact that everyone will be leaving you for their own soon-to-be accomplished purposes! This was a time that had to happen and it did.<br /><br />Out of all these experiences, I ended up picking up on art around the mid year of my 11th grade year, and I didnÂt just start out with nothing, as you would expect, but a great friend of mine inspired me with her own art, and I was intrigued and fascinated with her artistic style and design in which she used to create her art. I also had another friend of mine who was emotionally closer to me, who had a beautiful talent in art as well. I could always remember asking her: ÂHow many years of experience do you have in art?Â But she never knew for sure. She only replied with: ÂItÂs been years and years that IÂve been drawing, and I slowly got good over time.Â<br /><br />(Sigh&#133<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /> IsnÂt that what everyone says? But now I know that it takes years for a truly, accomplished talent such as art. Personally, itÂs been about 2 Â½ years that I have been drawing, and I plan to keep going at it for much longer, probably for the rest of my life. This time, I donÂt really have to try so hard now to draw, since I have become more aware of the secrets and greatness that is hidden within.<br /><br />Now, I can tell you some of my plans for the future. Some of the plans that I want to start, or create, are:<br /><br />--Drawing anime characters-entire completed picture<br />--Real life portraits-complete picture<br />--Portrait of multiple anime characters-complete pictures<br />--Portrait of multiple real life figures-complete pictures<br />--Attending an art college/university<br />--Taking an art class/course<br />--Art in painting<br />--Art in sculpture<br />--Different art styles from different countries.<br /><br />Drawing a... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Poster Board Art Project<br /><br />Today, I will prepare to begin a new poster board project. This project will be based on art, and in this document, I am here to make plans as to how I will construct my poster board project.<br /><br />To begin, IÂd like to display a customized poster-based idea of how the board will be displayed. The board is separated into 3, different parts, with the middle part of the board being the largest section of the board.<br /><br />The board will feature my current pictures of art. In the future, I plan to use this board for inspiration.<br /><br />Here is how the poster board will be constructed:<br /><br />--This board will not just display one central topic of art, or one simple point or meaning. This board will rather display different points of view about art, or many different topics at once.<br /><br />My topics that I plan to use are:<br /><br />--Character Face Structure-x30 <br />--Eyes-x60<br />--Ears-x25<br />--Hands-x10<br />--Body Structure-x15<br />--Advanced Poses-x20<br />--Complete left-side Pose-x1<br />--Complete right-side Pose-x1<br />--Complete right side Face-x1<br />--Complete left-side Face-x1  <br /><br />The title of this board project will be:<br /><br />Inspirational Art Board<br /><br />When the board is finally completed, be sure to write the date on it in PERMANENT BLACK INK!!<br />The date of the board is extremely important, as well as the artistÂs name too.<br /><br />NOTICE: Be sure to take up every inch of the board when pasting the pictures onto the board. Do not leave any gaps in between anything. The more art thatÂs on the board, the better it will look when it is finished.<br /><br />However, be sure to leave a title space at the center-top of the board for the title of the board.<br /><br />This is a very important project. DO NOT SCREW UP!!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Creating My Own Manga<br /><br />Today, I am currently in the first few stages of creating my own manga. But to create a manga requires a lot of potential in the art of drawing! Since I am not fully aware of all the aspects of drawing and have yet to obtain all of the required experience and learning abilities of art, I am limited by the pending inexperience that is yet to be obtained in this amazing, yet frustrating hobby. <br /><br />For this document, I have decided to take into great consideration some of the steps that can be taken to make this Âmanga-makingÂ process a lot easier.<br /><br />Since I am limited with only the skills that I have currently, I can only work to a maximum potential towards what I have learned thus far, and cannot exceed any further until future experience is obtained.<br /><br />Below is how the schedule will follow, and what steps will be taken:<br /><br />Question 1: What are you good at drawing when you draw?<br /><br />Answer: IÂm pretty experienced in drawing the face, and also in drawing the torso of a character. The collarbone of a character is pretty easy to draw as well, but when drawing the face, IÂm able to make a close estimate upon the face, and then determine where and how the face should be positioned.<br /><br />Plans for the Future:<br /><br />Since I have just begun creating my own manga, I plan to make my manga series pretty long, but I also consider this to be a routine, and a test. I consider it a routine because by keeping up on a manga project, such as the one that I am creating now, it gives me the experience that I need to become better at drawing in the artistic way. ItÂs a test because when the time comes to make a manga, or make a video game based on any topic, then my past experience will already be obtained, and that will make future manga projects, and overall my life, a lot easier, and less frustrating. Since creating a manga can be very constant, it makes my life a lot easier when I need and use the experience that I will have already obtained.<br /><br />What is your project title? <br /><br />Since this is a manga project, and I have yet to dig further into the secrets of this challenge, I am currently clueless as to what name this project will be given, but when I dig deeper into this project, a name may come forth, and then I will know where and how the story will unfold.<br /><br />Other Plans:<br /><br />As for the length of this project, I plan to make it up to 75 pages approximately.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hi, Everyone!<br /><br />This is going to be an entry pertaining only to those unique individuals that show an interest in drawing, so if you are reading this and do not have an interest in drawing, then you're wasting your time reading this entry.<br /><br />First off, I'll be talking about drawing and it's unique fundemantals and side-twists that can make a picture look good and great, but on the other hand, can also destroy the picture before it even begins.<br /><br />Listed below are various mistakes that I've made in the past when drawing, but along with them, I offer my newfound solutions!<br /><br />Drawing Mistakes and Tips:<br /><br />1. Never draw your lines too dark. By doing so, it becomes quite difficult to completely erase your guidelines later when you make your final touches.<br /><br />2. Always draw your proportions correctly before you begin any real drawing of your character. Drawing proportions can really help your mind focus in on what's most important and that is trying to get a somewhat even balance of everything you have on your sheet of paper. If you don't draw the proportions correctly in the beginning, they will DEFINITELY show at the ending!<br /><br />3. Study your type of pencil before drawing. Knowing what type of pencil you may use in drawing is very important for the artist because it helps determine how the drawing will be affected and how your guidelines will be affected. Certain pencils use different types of lead that will definitely affect the overall quality of your picture. Depending on the situation, know what type of pencil your using for your drawing before just using any type of pencil.<br /><br />4. Ink your drawing. When you've finished drawing your picture, be sure to run a fine-tip pen, or a felt-tip pen over your drawing to secure and establish the ultimate foundation and finishing process of your drawing. Pencil lines will usually choose to fade out over time and may cause you to re-draw the same picture over again if need be, so be sure to ink your picture to ensure that it's safe for good.<br /><br />5. Have a central idea in mind. This one is kind of like when you're teacher tells you to draw up a plan and then begin your writing prompt. Well, in this case, try to establish a central idea of what you want to draw. A lot of time can be consumed from you sitting at your desk for hours trying to think up a character costume for your drawing, so always try and make a plan before you draw so that your ideas and your brain will flow more smoothly and quicker according to what you may be thinking.<br /><br />6. Always start off with a rough sketch. When drawing, it becomes extremely important to first draw a beginners sketch of your drawing after you've established a central topic for your drawing. By drawing a sketch of your drawing rather than running it all the way to the end's finale, you can see first-hand as to what your drawing is turning out to be. After that point, you can then determine if you'd like to make a few revisions about your drawing topic so that when the whole piece finally comes together, you will have a drawing that is well-rounded and balanced and has some character meaning and life in it.<br /><br />7. Use special type of paper, if you need to. Did you all know that they're are special types of paper that are designed specifically for drawing. You'd have to look into this one on the net for special paper from vaious craft stores and art supply stores to determine which type of paper is good for you.<br /><br />8. Find your style. When you draw, you have a particular style that makes your drawings come to life. This is what is called an art sytle. Many artists have various, different art styles to which they may use quite frequently and if you establish your own art style, you can make your drawings and art pictures look just as great. Try and find a well-rounded style-a style that will work well for you and be suited for you depending on your level of experience.<br /><br />9. Study other art styles. Unlike your commonly-used art style that you use quite often, try and study other people's art styles and compare the similarities and differences between your art style and there particula style. You will notice some different changes when you compare them such as different positions for the mouth and the ears, different types of eyes, different, but correct proportions, and overall, the basic look of the drawing itself. Practice other styles and your experience will increase drastically.<br /><br />10. Try and draw something that's already been drawn. Many other artists, besides yourself, love to draw billions of pieces of artwork just like you, so try and draw what they draw. Try and discover the habit in which they use to create their amazing pictures. Discover their secrets and their tactics that they use when they run into a problem. By doing so, this will also increase your drawing experience drastically over a long, but short pe... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hi, Deviously Deviant Users and Friends!<br /><br />Today, I wanted to talk about my goals and dreams that I want to get into when I get into college. First, the college, or institute, that I will soon be attended is the Art Institute of Ft. Lauderdale. This is what I must first accomplish to get my goals and dreams off the ground, at least. Right now, my dreams are just secretly sitting in a big, green binder at my house, but they won't go anywhere unless I reach college first. Some of you may ask: What do I want to major in, or get into? Well, that's simple! I want to become a Game Designer! I want to make a game after I attend college. What is it going to be about, you may ask? Well, I wish I could tell you, but that must be kept in secret, for the moment. Once I have my game established and somewhat off the ground, rather than collecting dust within my room, then I may allow a little but of information out for you all to know. Well...I guess I can say a few things about the game.<br /><br />It's going to be a Fighting-based game, but I also want it to have a few RPG-based features here and there throughout the game. I may add some features such as the ability of clicking certain buttons at the moment they're supposed to be pressed. I also want to add some cinematic features in the game, where the game falls into a special scene where a character performs a series of attacks, all by the press of certain buttons when they appear. I am also thinking of adding a "Leveling Up" feature to my game. I have no information, or any current proof, that I am creating a leveling system for my game, but this is just an idea for now. The style of my game may also change as well. I've recently discovered that some people grow tired of the old "1 vs 1" type style of an average fighting game. That's why I am thinking of creating an idea where it may be something similar to that particular, yet common style, but maybe I can throw in something else that would completely throw out the meaning of the term "1 vs 1". I could possibly add in a feature where it could be 3 vs 3, or 5 vs 5! I could also possibly throw in a feature where multiple characters jump into battle, and attack an enemy together in a formation style! I'm getting a lot of ideas for my game, more specifically story-based ideas that make a story what it really should be, but there's no point in creating them if you're not going to write them all down on a blank sheet of paper. <br /><br />Other features that I could add are characters working together to defeat an enemy. As I've previously mentioned on the idea of cinematic features, I'd like to expand upon that. After I've added in a cinematic effect to the game, one character could jump in, knock the guy off of his feet, and throw him up in the air, and then various buttons will appear on the screen, displaying the cooresponding buttons that must be pressed to either defend a counter-attack, or continue from your previous attack. After that attack, I'll continue onwards with a second phase of attacks, and then it appears on the screen that the enemy is attempting to block your next attack, but you decide to perform a "Power-Blast Effect that will connect with your enemy's guarded attack. Then, the characters will start busting and bashing eachother's faces in, and then I could add another feature there where you have to press a series of buttons, including R1, L1, R2, L2 buttons and analog buttons that you have to press really fast just to win over on your opponent. I'm thinking of making my game with a significant amount of cinematic features, but not to the point where this consumes the entire game-fighting engine. The type, or the action type look of the game can probably be something slightly related to Tekken, or other fighting games, but maybe not play like that particular game. I also want my game to play very fast-paced where the characters are flinging punches and kicks instantly!<br /><br />These are some of the ideas that I may want to add into my game, if I choose to add them. Right now, I'm going to continue my drawings for the game. I'll talk to you all later!<br /><br />Bye!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Major Drawing Creations<br /><br />Hey, Everyone!<br /><br />I am making this journal entry to tell you all that I have finally received a great source of inspiration from a great anime/manga author/illustrator named Mark Crilley. If you donÂt know who I am talking about, try typing his name in on the DA search bar! Some of his art will pop up on your search. Anyways, I was recently watching a Youtube video posted by Author/Illustrator, Mark Crilley, and the video that he posted was a ÂHow to draw ProportionsÂ video that he featured to me and everyone else there on Youtube. If he hasnÂt posted the video here on DA, go to Youtube and type in his name and then click on one of his videos, or his name under the title of one of his videos and then, his page will pop up! His art is amazing!<br /> <br />Anyways, this is what I wanted to do! The title of this journal entry is titled, ÂMajor Drawing CreationsÂ for a reason. ItÂs all because of inspiration. If you could watch his newest video on Youtube, then youÂll be able to better understand what I am talking about. Now, what I am going to do, or at least try and do, is take the inspiration from that video and put it into some of my drawings. The only bad part about all of this is that I wonÂt be able to show anyone any of my drawings after IÂm finished with what I may have created by then. ThatÂs only because I donÂt have my scanner set up as of yet, but I may be able to take my old scanner and hook it up to my motherÂs Laptop and then transfer some of my pictures to DA! I donÂt know if this will work, but IÂll see what I can do!<br /><br />Also, I recently made a journal entry titled, ÂCharacter Description DetailsÂ. I am going to look into that journal entry and take some of those details from there and use them for ideas for my characters that I want to draw. IÂll see what I can come up with, but as far as it goes, I am still on one loose end of not having a damn scanner! That sucks! IÂll see what happensÂthanks!<br /><br />See yaÂll LaterZÂ<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Human Anatomy<br /><br />How to draw the Human Figure (Anatomically Structured)<br /><br />-25 Steps Total<br /><br />1. Draw a vertical line with two ending points, which has one point located at the top and at the bottom.<br /><br />2. Divide that line in half by putting another dot in the middle of the line.<br /><br />3. Next, put another dot in the first top half of the whole line and do the same with the bottom as well.<br /><br />4. By looking at the line, you now have 4 divided pieces that make your line. Next, draw 4 more dots each in the middle of the 4 divided pieces. You will then have 8 divided pieces that are separated by dots that connect together to make a single line.<br /><br />5. Next, draw an oval-shaped head in between the 1st and 2nd dots at the top of the paper. Draw dots for the eyes, nose, and a line for the mouth.<br /><br />6. As you notice from your drawing, you now have eight divided pieces and 9 dots total. By looking at the 5th dot down, mark the 5th dot with an X. This is the exact center of your character.<br /><br />7. Starting from the top at the 1st dot, go down to the 4th dot. This dot marks the umbilical cord. Draw a stretched line outwards from this dot and label it as ÂUmbilical CordÂ<br /><br />8. Next, go back to the 1st dot at the top and go down to the 2nd dot. Next, draw two dots on the side of the 2nd dot, preferably a little bit less than a centimeter wide.<br /><br />9. By looking at the 2nd dot with the two dots located on the side of the 2nd dot, draw a line, connecting these 3 dots together. The connected line should like the bottom edge of a manÂs first top half of the torso.<br /><br />10. By looking at the two dots, each on the sides of the 2nd dot, which is down from the 1st dot, draw 1 line down from one of these dots that is located on one of the sides of the 2nd dot, and do the same with the other dot as well. The two lines should extend downwards slightly past the 4th dot.<br /><br />11. Then, draw a dot on one of these first lines that is located slightly above the 4th dot. Do the same with the other dot as well.<br /><br />12. Next, draw an ending dot on one of these lines that is located slightly below the 4th dot. Do the same with the other dot as well.<br /><br />13. Next, take these two dots that you just drew and draw a line, each connecting these 2 dots to the 4th dot.<br /><br />14. Now, youÂre going to have to draw a ÂVÂ shaped line. Look at the 4th dot and then look at the two dots that are located each on the side of the 2nd dot. Draw your line from the 4th dot straight through one of the 2 dots that are located on one of the sides of the 2nd dot. Do the same with the other dot, that is located on the other side of the 2nd dot. Extend lines straight and outward until you reach the head, but donÂt extend it WAY too far out.<br /><br />15. Next, make another dot that is located in the center of the 2nd and 3rd dots. Then, make another dot on one side of the ÂVÂ shaped line that becomes ÂleveledÂ, in vertical terms, with the other dot that you just made in between the 2nd and 3rd dots.<br /><br />16. Next, go back to the dot that you just made in between the 2nd and 3rd dots and draw a single line each that connects to one of the two dots that you just made. Do the same with the other dot on the other side as well. This makes the collarbone, even though it may seem a bit wide.<br /><br />17. Now, go back to the 3rd dot (excluding the dot you made in between the 2nd and 3rd dots)and look at the two dots on the side of the 3rd dot. Start with one of these Âside dotsÂ and draw a curved line outwards towards the side of the paper straight down to the other Âside dotÂ that you made just above the 4th dot. Do the same with the other dot on the other side of the 3rd dot. <br /><br />18. By now, your character should look like he is thrusting his torso outwards. Next, make another dot that is slightly below the 3rd dot. Then, look back at the two dots that you just made each on the sides and slightly above the 4th dot and draw from one of the Âside dotsÂ that are located just above the 4th dot a line that connects with the dot that is just below the 3rd dot. This drawn line is a curved line, curving outwards like the one that you previously made. Do the same with the other dot on the other side as well.<br /><br />19. Next, go up to the two dots that are located each on the side of the 3rd dot and now, youÂll need to connect those two dots. Draw a semi-circular line, connecting these two dots together. The semi-circular line should be drawn as if drawing the first top-half of a circle. The midway turning-point of the semicircle should be located just above the collarbone, but just below the chin of the face.<br /><br />20. Next, draw in the sides for the neck. The lines for the sides of the neck should extend down to the top-half of the semicircle (no further).<br /><br />21. If you havenÂt draw a line for the mouth, do so now... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hi, Everyone<br /><br />Today, I am writing to you all telling you that I have another idea swimming around in my head. I want to put it on a few sheets of paper, but I am trying to gather all of my ideas.<br /><br />Here, let me share with you some of the ideas that I've already thought of off the top of my head:<br /><br />First off, this is a Game Idea because my future profession is becoming a Game Designer because I am interested in the development and creation of games.<br /><br />First:<br /><br />Game Title: Crystal Leaves<br /><br />Here's the main idea of what it's supposed to be about:<br /><br />The game "Crystal Leaves" is a game that takes place 1,000 years in the future and is also about 5 powerful crystalized leaves that are colored 5 different colors.<br /><br />The colors are:<br /><br />Red<br />Blue<br />White<br />Black<br />Clear<br /><br />In the game, a dark, secret society exists and has a dark purpose for the power of these crystalized leaves. Also, the leaves represent a single existence that exists within the imperfection of the world!<br /><br />1. Red Leaf-represents the fire of Volcanoes and also the Earth's magma.<br /><br />2. Blue Leaf-represents the rapid seas of the world.<br /><br />3. White Leaf-represents the power of the Heavens.<br /><br />4. Black Leaf-represents the burning world of Hell.<br /><br />5. Clear Leaf-represents the grass and dirt of the Earth.<br /><br />Dark Society Name: Crystal Force<br /><br />The Dark Society of the "Crystal Force" has 8 secret members that desire the power of these crystalized leaves.<br /><br />The power of the crystal leaves each have a special ability to each of them.<br /><br />Red Leaf-has the power to grant a person the ability to use and control electricity<br /><br />Blue Leaf-has the power of eternal life<br /><br />White Leaf-has the power to transfer a person's soul to another realm other than Heaven or Hell<br /><br />Black Leaf-has the power to cast death upon another person<br /><br />Clear Leaf-has the power to give a person maximum dominance in a battle <br /><br />Game Genre: RPG<br /><br />Crystal Mode: In this RPG-based title, there exists a mode called "Crystal Mode" which is a mode that a character can activate to use the power of the leaf that he/she posesses.<br /><br />Characters: I am curently unsure as to how many characters will be in the game, but I am currently genereating ideas for various names of interesting characters for the game "Crystal Leaves"<br /><br />The only character that I immediately thought of right away before telling you all of this game idea was a main character idea.<br /><br />His name is: Airenilu<br /><br />This name may change as I progress further into the critical, thinking process of this game idea.<br /><br />ALSO: If anyone has any suggestions for the title of this game, such as different game levels or other character names, I would really appreciate all of your ideas.<br /><br />AND: If anyone notices anything weird with this idea as if being something has already been created after this idea, please let me know. This is called "Obeying Ccpyright Laws of other creations", so if anyone thinks that this idea is a re-creation of something that was already made, please notify me immediately! Thanks!<br /><br />This is just an small idea swimming around in my head and is not really going anywhere right now, but i'll see where this heads!<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <title>10 Steps to Designing a Story</title>

                <description><![CDATA[ Here are 10 simple steps to designing your own creative, wild story!<br /><br />1. Take an hour and write a 1-Sentence Summary of your story.<br /><br />2. Take another hour to expand that 1-Sentence Summary to a full paragraph, specifically describing the Story Setup, the Major Disasters, and the Ending of the story.<br /><br />3. FOR MAJOR CHARACTERS ONLY-Answer these following questions:<br /><br />Character's Name<br /><br />1-Sentence Summary of Character Storyline<br /><br />Character Motivation: What does the character really want?<br /><br />Character Goal: the character's major accomplishment<br /><br />Character Conflict: What stops the character from fulfilling his or her mission, or accomplishment?<br /><br />Character Epiphany: What will the character will learn? How will the character change?<br /><br />1-Paragraph Summary of Character Storyline<br /><br />The questions listed above must be answered about EACH MAJOR character in the story.<br /><br />4. You should have a good general idea of your story by now. If not, go back to Step#3 and expand on your ideas and make revisions.<br /><br />5. Write a 1-Page Description of EACH MAJOR character.<br />   Write 1/2 Page Description of EACH MINOR character.<br /><br />6. Expand the 1-Paragraph Plot Synopsis of the story to four(4) pages.<br /><br />Expand each character's 1-Paragraph Storyline into a 1-Page Storyline.<br /><br />Make revisions, if necessary.<br /><br />7. Expand Character Descriptions into EACH Full-Fledged Charts detailing each and every, little detail about that particular character.<br /><br />8. This step is only used on a Spreadsheet on the computer.<br /><br />Take the 4-Page Plot Synopsis and make a list of all the scenes/ideas of the story. Write all of the detailed scenes of the ideas of your story.<br /><br />Make just 1 line for each scene.<br />1st Line: List the POV Character.(Point of View<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" />OV)<br />2nd Line: What happens?<br /><br />Add more lines for more scenes, if necessary.<br /><br />9. Write a Narrative Description of the story. Take each storyline of the spreadsheet and expand it to a full multi-paragraph description of the scene.<br /><br />Multi Paragraphs as means by: More than just a single paragraph on that particular, expanded scene of the story.<br /><br />Write the conflict of each scene. The conflict is what prevents the character from fulfilling his or her mission.<br /><br />If there is no conflict for that particular scene, make a conflict for that scene. If a conflict cannot be made for that particular scene, then the scene must be deleted. With no conflict, there is no purpose of being. Understand?<br /><br />10. Start writing your first draft. <br /><br /><br />Character Details to remember when designing a story:<br /><br />Below are listed 40 important Character Details that must be known about your character. Not all of these details need to be listed, but mostly, the important details such as Name, Gender, and Birthday need to be listed. <br /><br />1. Name <br />2. Age<br />3. Job<br />4. Ethnicity<br />5. Appearance<br />6. Residence<br />7. Favorite Color<br />8. Friends<br />9. Favorite Foods<br />10. Drinking Patterns<br />11. Phobias<br />12. Faults<br />13. Pets<br />14. Religion<br />15. Hobbies<br />16. Single/Married<br />17. Children<br />18. Temperment<br />19. Something Hated<br />20. Secrets<br />21. Strong Memories<br />22. Illnesses<br />23. Nervous Gestures<br />24. Sleep Patterns<br />25. Hair Color<br />26. Eye Color<br />27. Rivals<br />28. Enemies<br />29. Powers<br />30. Height<br />31. Weight<br />32. Gender<br />33. Birthday/Date<br />34. Zodiac Sign<br />35. Physical Condition<br />36. Marks/Scars/Tattoos<br />37. Vernacular<br />38. Goals<br />39. Fears<br />40. Aspirations<br /><br />Other Story Tips:<br /><br />1. Appearance: Gives the reader a good and positive understanding of the character.<br /><br />2. Action: Shows the reader what kind of person, or individual, your character is. Rather than just listing adjectives about your character, you can describe your character's actions.<br /><br />3. Speech: Develop the character as a person.<br /><br />4. Thought: Bring the reader into the mind of your character by showing them your character's enexpressed fears, memories, and hopes.<br /><br />For many people who read this, I hope this helps them and many other people developing their own amazing, adventurous story.<br /><br />End of Document!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ For many artists, there could be many things that an average artist would want to draw, but for me, I decided to make a list of what I really want to practice drawing. To my friends that are out there and that also may notice this list of drawings that I want to practice on, they all probably know why I am doing this: because I love drawing. Of course, it would be the obvious reason for drawing, but my normal passion for drawing has a bigger feeling than that because I am drawing for rather another purpose.<br /><br />Here's my list:<br /><br />1. Flowers<br />2. Hats<br />3. Guns<br />4. Books<br />5. Television<br />6. Swords<br />7. Vases<br />8. House Appliances<br />9. Grounds<br />10. Buildings<br />11. Bottles<br />12. Hallways<br />13. Mirrors<br />14. Blades<br />15. Pencils<br />16. Rooms<br />17. Fans<br />18. Scrolls<br />19. Missles<br />20. Bullets<br />21. New Works<br /><br />All of these ideas I was able to simply generate within my nearly half-dead brain last night, but these are just some of the things that I really want to get started on. By the way, my art has really gotten better since I have last posted any real piece of art on DA, but I can't show you right now because I am a Laptop, and so I have limited resources right now, but if I can get a single chance at posting something good, I will definitely show you all!<br /><br />See ya'll LaterZ...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I just wanted to make a notice to all of my friends that I am graduating this year. All of my other current friends with whom I usually associate with most of my time already know this about my graduation year, but I just wanted to send this out to others to let you all know that I am graduating this year of 2008! I can't wait to hold my diploma in my very hands so that I can finally say that this diploma belongs to me! <br /><br />Well, school is out for all 12th graders and now I am waiting for my rehearsal on the 27th at the Living Word Church next to my school. This event is going to be big and is going to be so exciting. I am so glad that I am going to be able to see my friends and my parents at the church with me cheering me on! My graduation date is on the 29th of May!<br /><br />All I have to do is grab the tickets and my gown and I'll be ready for this godly event!<br /><br />I can't wait...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ While spending my time on DeviantArt, I have seen a lot of good art by a lot of other people to which I do not know of, so I decided to throw together some important character details that I believe should be taken into great consideration when drawing an anime/manga based character.<br /><br />Be aware that most of these details were pulled from the internet after a long search, but I've also added some other details that I believe should be added in as well.
