Phoenix Cactus Comic Con

~foxfirestorm — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 11:16:56 PDT

So got my tickets for the Cactus comic con out here in Phoenix, Arizona. Though I found they have moved to a new location and pushed it back a few months(whoo).
The reason I find this good actually is because it gives me change to try to do a little project I've been wanting to do for some time. This is to make myself a Dragoon AF costume from Final Fantasy XI.

I have the pant legs to use, I found the top and the gloves(just need to buy them online), and then I gotta find me a helm(wal-mart anyone), so I can mold the parts onto and then need to find me some boots, which is going to be the interesting part.
The boots you see, I have something I 'could' use, if worse comes to worse(hopefully they still fit), but what I need to find is some cheap pair of cowboy boots. Cause Dragoon boots kinda remind me of cowboy boots really.

I have the paint(which I hope is still good), and I'll have to get some other supplies as well(the crafting foam, construction paper, fabric, glue, more paint).
Hopefully I can get this done in time-- and I wont look like a total dork. >_o

>.> Comes with low self esteem I believe..

Time for an Update!

~foxfirestorm — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 08:55:18 PDT

Yes, time for an update brought to you by: Way to much India Ink! If you can't ink, we will! To nothing!!

Anyhow, gonna fix up the gallery, make room for some new stuff to show you all, and hopefully, once more /TRY/ to keep this place updated with some new sketches, drawings, and so on.

I also need to make a BriteStarProduction account, however, I am not sure if Deviant will allow you to have two account or not, and secondly it probably be slower then this one.

I really need to think of better means to advertise it, even if I am moving at a snails pace, but-- I do /EVERYTHING/, expect for writing. XD
I can't write, so that is fine for me!
And Book keep, and outline keep, and remember who is what height and what the slag was their age again? XD

Yea, I know, I'm horrible haha.

Anyhow, things been pretty good for me. Been playing "Champions Online", which I gotta say is additively fun right now. I blame the great majority of this on some really awesome RPers.
Been working on the comic, trying to take care of my mom, and playing around with some stuff, along with just out right doodling(which I hope to bring to all of you in like.. today or in 3 days).

I'll try to be a good girl and keep up from now on, just-- always a tad tricky, ya know? XD

anyhow, see ya'll later!

San Diego Comic Con

~foxfirestorm — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 09:14:43 PDT

So, went to the comic con with 48 booklets of previews of my graphic novel I am working on. My dad paid for it and I was ever so excited when I went. Figured I hand out probably all 48 or something..

Well, here I am on the last day, only handed out 3(maybe 4?) booklets. One to a friend, and I know a few artist I talked too took a few as well, but pretty much everyone I talked too handed it back with there advice and not willing to really keep it(and seemingly, not really caring either).

So here I am at 9am, debating if I really wanna go today, try one more time to talk with artists and see if I can get some of these booklets to people.. or will they give me there two cents and then hand it back to me like it was trash.
Maybe I am taking that feeling a bit to far, and they didn't really act like it was, but I guess-- I was being to... positive and now that the negative has set in-- I'm sorta.. meh'ed by it...

Busy Busy

~foxfirestorm — Mon, 04 May 2009 22:18:01 PDT

Hey everyone,
Trying to be a good girl and kinda keep things up to date(artwork lacking). Life has been good, rather busy, but good. Getting ready to head up to Kentucky again, this time probably be my last venture up there. So I'll be out of contact(ish) from like June 2nd till like June 10th/11th.
Taking care of my mom lately, which has been a rather chore has of late. She has been in a rather needy mood and doesn't seem to fully understand the concept of leave the daughter alone, she doesn't want to be around you 24/7. Ah well, guess when she is lonely and everyone is gone, I'm the only one she can cling too. -_-;
Love my mom, really do-- just sometimes.. bah...

Still working on Celestial Wolf, I got a feeling this project will take us some time to complete. Since my writter is like in Chapter 3 and I just nicked Chapter 1 on the art department.
Almost ready to start drawing the next 10 pages. o.o
I'm expect that Chapter 1 will be about, 30-40 pages all together? Maybe? Not sure... XD
Watch, it will surprise me and be like 60 pages!

Celestial Wolf has also eaten my brain on creativity. Can't seem to break away from drawing any of them. Not that its a bad thing mind you, means my head is in the project, but gesh-- when you like to draw something else, it can be annoying!

On the other note-- remember back in March 6th, 2008, my stuff got stolen? Well-- they at last found my old laptop...
Long story short, that thing has been to many places, apparently been around on ebay, didn't work right and someone was gonna use it for spare parts lol.
Umm, but the good news is, the detective behind this case is hoping to back track all that info to the suspects behind the break in! So I hope they find those Sobs. ><;
Freakin taken my grandfather's flight wings.. *grumbles*

I also wanted to start a little Project. Most likely the Celestial Wolf crew probably become stuck in this project because they wont leave me alone. >_o
What is the plan? Well-- the plan is too ovay emotions!
I want to draw a/several Character(s) showing emotions. I figure this be a good test to see how well I can actually display feelings on a graphical level.
So this is what we got!

--------------------------------

1) Sadness
2) Joy
3) Love
4) Anger
5) Fear
6) Hatred
7) Lust
10) Paranoia
11) Pain
12) Shock
13) Compassion
14) Contentment
15) Hope
16) Anxiety
17) Lonely
18) Timid
19) Aggrivated
20) Jealousy

I do Live! I swear!

~foxfirestorm — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 16:38:16 PDT

Hey out there,
Long time since I have updated on Deviantart, horrible about keeping you people up to date, I swear.

Well, life has been going ok. Been trying to stay active, trying to keep up with the updates on my comic, taking care of my mom, and trying to keep some form of sanity.
Have found an addiction to Pokemon Diamond on my DS.. went out and got them like.. Last month I think, and yes though I could have waited for Platinum, I didn't, so neener.
Though I can't be up for battling 24/7 due to the fact that DS' don't support WPA protected servers, if you want me to add you to my friends-list on Pokemon, I will be glad to do so and share my code with others as well, that way later I can set something up to battle or whatever.

Been doing allot of drawing, though like normal, they never make it on here.
I also will be, at some point, be making a deviantart account for BriteStar Production LLC, along with a myspace account, facebook-- livejournal maybe too..

Do They have a sketch Journal I wonder-- have to look into that, but anyhow!

I am alive, I am doing stuff, I'm just really, really distracted. o.o

Now please excuse me as I go back to fighting with this comic page, dealing with life, and being zombie-fied to Pokemon... rawr.. charizard...

(man I'm such a geek lol, Transformers and Pokemon, oh and Dungeons and Dragons-- whoo!)

Comics, Company, Life = RAWR

~foxfirestorm — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 07:39:05 PDT

As of the start of this month of wonderful, wonderful October, I was pretty much "let go" by Arizona Art Supply, whom I was working for and very happily so.
In some ways, when I brought in my letter of leave and I was asked, "You don't mind if we let you go before this time, do you?" I should have said, "Yes I do mind, because I enjoy the job."
Instead of saying, "No, I don't mind."

Why did I write that letter? Because I was leaving in December and was gonna be gone the whole month and part of January, I knew darn well she wasn't going to let me go that long of period.
On top of this, I take care of my mom and get paid by the government to do so, so what does this mean? Well, I was pulling in 2 form of income.

Now the problem-- they let me go, typically-- I don't care, however the week before this event unfolded, my car broke down and had about a 1,200 repair job done to it.
All the water hoses, pumps, and timing belt were dry-rotting. Falling apart pretty much. The water unit itself was shot. My car-- had some really big internal issues, ontop of this, which I was aware of, my car needed new tires. Add this all up, you got yourself a 1,200 repair to a 2000 Plymouth Breeze, and let me tell you-- the car has been flawless eight years of its life-- but man, is it expensive to repair because the cost of labor is like 200 which on my dad's Ford, would'a been like 50.
Hate Chrysler cars...

At any-rate, now I gotta pay this bill, by via paying back a credit card, which means I don't want this hovering around, so I'm gonna through every cent I have at it.
That is now the problem. I don't make /that/ much because I do at times share hours with my sister, who now has the stable job.
Which means when I do go to Kentucky, I'm gonna have no money what. so. ever.
Totally broke!

Now, on the bright side of this, it allows me all the time in the world to work on the graphic novel/comic.
Along with my company name will be up in November.

But, as you can see my biggest beef here and to top it all off, my Grandmother is totally nuts. So I have to play ref between her and my mother, which isn't fun.

My grandmother you see, is manic-depressant, Night-polar, high blood sugar, diabetic, and has deminsia(or however you spell it).
This makes her totally out of control at times, go through major mood swings, and about drive everyone in our house up a wall.
Yes, she does live with us...
and we /are/ trying to get her into a Home so she'll get the heck out.
Now, I realize this sounds mean, but we been dealing with this for over two years now, and she has gotten worse sense last year. So I've been dealing with this problem personally for over a year, nearly two now, and as many like to say, "You have the patience of a saint."
Sad part is people-- my patience is like at the end of snapping(which is why I'm leaving for a month), and its getting bad enough that I'm starting to lash out at everyone... which means for the safety of the rest of my family, I've sorta isolated myself to a computer and my artwork(along with sometimes nightly walks).

Now that I am done ranting--
I'm also debating on doing Commissions.
I sometimes go on and off on this, because I'm not that popular of an artist and it really doesn't get me anywhere in the best, but maybe my style has improved enough I can.
On top of this, it be some form of another source of income and I don't see myself getting another job any time soon...

So.. will have to see on that..

Caramell Dansen Craze!!

~foxfirestorm — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 19:05:59 PDT

Officially, the silly craze has gotten to me, at last.
I joked about doing an animation of it-- I joked about doing a Transformers Version.
Well, I never got around to do it, because I dislike animating(even if I can do it), and I tend to just go, "I ain't good enough."

Well, when you get up at 5am in the morning, sit there drinking mountain dew for an hour, something weird must happen because I did this:

[link]

This is the link to a skeleton I made of the dance move. I stared at this for awhile and was like, "Hey-- it matches the music and looks about right, lets place a real body on it!"
Again-- 5am, mountain dew = Brain gets odd...

So my oldest character, I created was tormented. I hadn't drawn him since I started work on the Graphic Novel-- I should have expected this would come(and he always is my test subject).
So Thus, Savera! Caramell Dansen!

[link]

And yes-- his tail is addictive to watch.

So what does this mean for me?
Well-- since I now know I can do this.. probably means I'll be doing an actually Caramell Dansen video and join the insane craze. XD

However-- where to start... hmmmm

Btw - Savera is (c) to me.. No touchie!

BriteStar Production and Website

~foxfirestorm — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 11:19:59 PDT

Officially, BriteStar Production is know a reserved name and by Novemember, will become a real LLC company, weee!
And I also did some work on my website, which yes, is still under work. Needless to say, its gonna take me some time to get that all together, but I will get it together!

The graphic novel, Peacekeeper and I are doing is also coming together for those who may be wondering.
I will also be creating a BriteStar Production area here on Deviantart just for everyone to keep up with the random stuff for the company(including random doodles).

I should have hopefully all of Chapter one up by January, that is what I'm shooting for, however-- I wont make any promises on the whole chapter, because depending on how much some of the pages kick my arse in art, that may drag me behind. But at least I'm gonna have maybe half of chapter one. This is probably a better figure, since I am thinking, by my rough sketches of just the first six pages--
Chapter one is gonna be around like, between... sixty-four to eighty pages.? Yea-- that is allot of pages...

Also working on the character color charts(and will be used for the profile page-- or just randomly on the page itself.. I'll see how I want to do that) and fighting with that Stupid star-ship. Yes, there is a space-ship/star-ship in this graphic novel. Yes it is big, and yes-- I'm smacking my head on the desk for agreeing to have one, because I just have to love space-- and I just have to love sci-fi lol.
Sci-fi = Space-ship = Christi wishing she took more time to learn how to draw vehicles.

What else-- mmmm...
Been laid off for the summer(almost).. got a job taking care of my mom.. Going to be in Kentucky during Decemember...

Planning on attending Phoenix Cactus Comic con, Botcon(if its over here in the west coast), and San Diego Comic Con all in 2009.

Yes, this is allot of stuff going on, but-- Its all for a good cause!
So if anyone wants to meet me, I'll be wondering around the cons..
Might have a shirt made too as a walking billboard to my own graphic novel online. XD

Clean up Time?

~foxfirestorm — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 08:13:28 PDT

Do I ever use this anymore? Seriously, lol.

Well, anyhow, due to myself being broke(yay), probably going to start working two jobs now(double yay), and doing a comic, I'm /really/ busy.

Most of my artwork gets placed up on Photobucket, more so then here, cause I hate writing an explanation for my stuff. Like, I just hate doing it really.

Then I'm also doing other things as well, outside of character design sketches for said comic(which is up to.. 24 sketches I think), like getting a site ready for it, trying to get everything trademarked and all that legal stuff.
Oh yea, lets not forget getting a company named registered too!

Also during my laptop being stolen, myself going into a slump, losing freakin everything I had to do my comics with. Regaining a new laptop, reinstalling everything, I also learned I couldn't write my own stuff. So, I 'hired' on a writer, though she isn't really said hired and yet.. kinda is?
Anyhow, its this gal , who has signed up with me and is gonna be co-owner to the company /we/ are doing. Yes we, why we people? Because she had to sit there with me and listen to someone explain how this stuff works and half of this comic wouldn't be possible without her.
I came up with the idea, with some fleshing out here and there, and she took it and made it more final, pretty, and all that jazz.

Now she is at home(back in Kentucky) wracking her brain to make this story work, hopeing we can hit our chapter one deadline by December and have some free short stories to give out to the public by January, while I deal with the legal stuff, and see if I can get ahold of an old friend to do a 'soundtrack' to the characters.
Yes, PK if your reading this before I talk to you, I want to make a musical soundtrack for the characters. XP People like music. XD

Anyhow, yea, so allot of stuff on my end!

Thoughts that cross the mind

~foxfirestorm — Mon, 05 May 2008 20:49:30 PDT

So, since Botcon and some events that took place, I've been sitting back and thinking to myself. Asking myself many questions and trying to find the answers to them in my solitaire life of existence and in my solitude type of style of living.

Anyone who knows me, knows I can be very friendly, kind, generous(sometimes to much so), and always trying to find ways to help. I can also be rather snobbish, self-centered, and a bit of a loud-mouth.
I don't believe in lying and I believe in honesty. So I sometimes tend to say more then what i should and perhaps have lack of tact.
However this really isn't about that-- and in some regard it is..

Ya see, twice-- twice in my life I've been told, 'I love you', by two guys over a spand of four years. One of them told me he was sorry, knew what he did was wrong to me, and I forgave him--
The other.. sadly, I had a feeling what the answer was and kept trying to convene myself it wouldn't come to that answer. Though while I was there, trying to convene myself, I honestly didn't care about him-- which was a lie, or I wouldn't have been so willing to follow him around like a puppy-dog.
Then on the last day, I sat back alone, telling myself, "..you so screwed this up, it ain't gonna happen, because it never does. You can be hopeful and keep trying, but its going to fail."
Those words echoed-- and they came true.

Actually, that is a common trace in my life, you see-- I somehow /know/ when something like that is gonna happen, or something bad is gonna happen to someone. Its like a ultra six-sense of danger. I knew when my friend's boyfriends were trouble and was right.
I knew when a friend was in trouble or danger-- was right then too or it was leading to them being in trouble..
I even know when my hopes over something is going to be crush--
Its a blessing-- and a curse. I sit back and beg for someone to prove my expiations wrong. For someone to look at me when I'm thinking, "Its going to fail." and do the complete opposite.

So I'm complaining a bit here, but getting this off my chest still-- so.. bare with me ok? You could always stop reading I suppose, haha.

Now, here comes down to this wonderful scenario running in my head. If I have all these guy friends-- and several guys who say, 'Your great, I would so date you if I met ya face to face.' Or, 'I think your beautiful.', which is mostly based on Personality-- is there something about my physical form that seems to make guys back away?
I'm a tomboy for one thing, I'm also heavily defensive in my stances and how I hold myself. So-- perhaps I just send a signal that says, 'Leave me the F alone'? Really, give me a bone here people who /do/ know me or have meet me!
Just bugs me, ya know? Where apparently everyone loves your personality but doesn't like the way you look-- or something. I have no clue--
I'm not good at the 'game', people play in relationships. I don't understand it, I don't get it.. I have parents that were high school sweet-hearts, got married at 18, and still are married at 52. I don't have an example of 'bad love' in my house-hold, not by parents or grandparents anyhow.

I really shouldn't worry about stuff like this, but after awhile, it grinds on ya and for awhile there, I didn't care. But something comes up and you get reminded. You get reminded that something about your age group and you don't see eye and eye.
That your old fashioned---

Like my boss told me once, "Guys like to have 'fun' with there girls, ya know-- test out the car before they buy it."
which had me giving him a look of, "Do I look like a car to you? Heck no!"

Perhaps that is the other reason, my morals and ethics are so far out there from most people I have met. I don't believe in sex before marriage, I believe that is to be held for a married couple.
I don't believe in divorce, though I know some people whom have, and I ain't gonna argue with them, there life and all(same to those whom have had sex before marriage, your life).
I also don't believe in abortion either...

I was raised under Christian biblical morals and beliefs, many which today have been dismissed, because it isn't part of the 'modern' world-- whatever..

I figure, even with maybe some hope of a few guys, that unless something happens here in the wonderful world of 'reality', I'm always gonna be a single girl who has her family and friends to keep her company. Her dreams to push her on, and only her imagination to hold a 'lover' close.
Sad state huh?

Oh, but don't worry-- give me a few days and I'll be wondering why I even wrote this!

BOTCON!!!!

~foxfirestorm — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 20:59:59 PDT

Tomorrow(4-23) at 11:50 Arizona Time, I'm getting out on the airplane to head to Ohio for---

BOTCON!!!

I'm very excited needless to say, get to meet some people I never /thought/ I have the chance to meet in person. So it seems like even though life has tossed me lemons, I have made me some 'juicy' lemonaid! Bwhahha!! ^^

I'll be arriving back on Monday(4-28) at 1pm I believe it is--

Weeee!!!

BotconBotconBotconBotconBotconBotconBotconBotcon!!!!! ^^

Ok, I'm done now!!

Take a breath and step

~foxfirestorm — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 11:40:40 PDT

Ok, so even though it feels like everything around me came crashing down, I'm slowly rising back up from the ashes that were left over.

I have NOT given up on my dream to self publishing, I still plan too, and I will still get on this horse and stay on, no matter how much it keeps bucking me off.
BriteStar Productions will live---

I have a few things I'm doing actually--

1) Probably gonna make a Deviantart account for BriteStar Productions..

2) Gonna make a Facebook account for it as well--

3) Get me a domain name for it, so it can have its own Web Site.

4) Maybe also do Live Journal too(maybe).

5) Most likely after the Botcon event, might start some stuff up.

6) Most likely go to SCAD by next year or two. Though I have the skills, and I have the knowledge, I need better training-- I know this is one way to enforce that training.

------------

I also want to apologize to some people out there. I felt like I let allot of people down(IE - Transformers: Mosaic), due to my hectic life and just trying to prove I can do something alone.
I kinda learned after this event that I can't do it alone, that some things are just to big to take on alone when you don't have the full skills for it.
I can draw, color, ink-- but my weakest point is what makes the soul of a comic, and that is the writing. I can make the essence and the image, but I can't make the soul of it.

I've tried-- it looks bad, it reads horrid, and it just sucks in my opinion. I know I will never get master pieces, but I can at least /Try/ and make them just as good.

So BriteStar is gonna move out from being a one man team.. to an actual team of people-- I just gotta find out who I really want to trust with that and what kinda agreements I need to make for such a thing.. after all, first time starters-- it ain't gonna be a paying business...

Update on Items

~foxfirestorm — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 12:22:26 PST

Here we are, second day--
My mom is downstairs fill out the report on what was stolen, they may have found some finger prints(which I hope they do).
We probably have around about 12,000 to 25,000 dollars worth of stuff stolen.

My laptop was stole, my sister's laptop was also stone, a bunch of my mom's and grandmother's jewlery..
My grandfather's wings and his dog tags back when he was in WWII, and that kinda ticks me off...
I think they took my telescopic fishing rod-- not sure yet though.

Umm.. out of my stuff(Outside of the laptop), they took my Collector's Soundwave, my Giant Transforming Bumblebee(which moves and interacts back, neat little sucker), umm..
My original(and my oldest) blue grimlock toy, my autobot cd case which had some software in it--
My Megatron's Origins(which I never had the chance to read), I think they might have taken some of my Transformers comics(grr), and it also looks like my Transformers Season 1 and 2 box set from Rhino(with the cells in them!).

But at least I have my desktop still.. *pets it* old faithful, you still serve me well.

stolen

~foxfirestorm — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 14:34:25 PST

people sorry for crappy writting but if you see me on msn, aim, ffxi, or message boards, pm me there, ask something only i would know and report to me via email or cell.
my laptop was stoen, our house broken into and i want to find this sob.

want my cell.. email me.

Oh slag no---

~foxfirestorm — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 05:37:11 PST

So, I've had a very stressful start to my week..

Saturday-- my store was robbed, we lost some money, my boss is really upset(then again so I would be) and we stayed at the store till 9pm waiting on the cops, who didn't come, no.. they just called.
Keep in mind there was no gun point or anything, they were just sneaky sobs.

Sunday, not so bad, just trying to recover from Saturday--

Monday, allot of stress again, why-- because everyone wouldn't stop asking about it at work, Lou(our distract manager) was ticked, Suzzy(the owner) was ticked, and every students whos money was stolen was always pointed in my direction for answers..

Tuesday, started out great-- I was laughing cutting up, then I come home, find out my dad apparently has, "everyone be like me" issues, which doesn't bow well with me, so my mom is trying to warn me about this--
Then I find out, Suzzy told my boss(who already gave the ok, and has known for two months now), that a month and half notice-- that, "Oh we are sorry, but it doesn't look good-- I'm affraid we can't find a replacement for Christi for Saturday and Monday."

..bs--

I already got my tickets to Botcon, I already got my plane tickets-- I ain't backin' down from this!
I need a vacation from this house-- I need to get out for once on my own, and I need to take a break from working!
Suzzy can kiss my white little aft, because seriously-- a month and half notice.. how many people can possible have stuff going in in April 26th and the 28th... Seriously!

I'm in over my head!

~foxfirestorm — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 13:37:38 PST

Ok, so I started out this whole comic deal with energy and joyment. I was going to do this. BriteStar Productions, comic books, everything-- I was gonna do it!
So-- I did it, sadly however I ran into a major speed bump, that well, was large enough to knock me over my axis and onto my back, with me going, 'ow'.

Its called... Life.

Yes, life-- the very thing that gets thrown at you and your like, 'omg!!'. Throws you into artists slumps and stress where your losing your hair and your patience(along with any desire to move on).
Thus looking at yourself in the mirror and that voice going, "Your a failure!"
and you want to yell back, "No I'm not!"

Anyhow, that came to my attention because I realized that I have this 4th page sitting here beside me, and I still have to get it inked, and every time I sit down to focus on this, I stare at it-- and I stare at it.. and I tell myself, "..this is crap-- your script is like a 5 year old."
then another part of me is going, "No-- its good! Just keep going!"

Then I stare at the site its on and I'm like going, "..That is crap to." and my other side is going, "..Its fine, it gets the point across."

Then i'm like.. omg-- I also need to make more advertisement for this, then I'm like-- oh yea, adds for a comic that only has 3 pages, haha.

Then I look at my deviant account here versus other people(who I think draw far better and to me, do), and they get load of hits and favorites-- and me.. I lack that.
So i'm feeling really discouraged as an artist right now. Like-- no one cares-- and I want people to care, and I know people care-- But I guess I'm expecting to much from myself.
I want to be the best at what I do, and I know I can be better-- and its kinda depressing.

Grrr-- why must we artists be our own worst critics, why must we make ourselves hate our own work-- why!!!!

ok-- I'm done. XD

Btw - to you all!

What the---- huh? [ rant - kinda ]

~foxfirestorm — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 07:11:41 PST

If you read this(aimed at a curtain individual), then you know I'm talking about you--
everyone else who reads this, maybe learn just a little bit here from hard knock and confusion.

They say(such as my parents) you know you love someone when you can't stop thinking about them, and every guy who has tried to go out with me, the guys who said 'I love you', have vanished for another and I honestly don't care about them.
But curse you--- curse you for making such an impact on me.. such a pain that it hurts. I remember when you first told me, I remember your voice on the phone-- I remember bragging about you.. every bit of it stays right there..

I think its over, I think, "Oh-- he ain't gonna come back. He is just gonna ignore me like always and its over." Nope, here we go again!
What is this.. the second, the third?

I don't know where to laugh, to cry, to shake my head, or just tell you to go die. Yea, you have me that confused with you just showing back up again out of no where(like always).

You have gotten further then I remember, you have improved far beyond what I recall. Your getting there, getting better--
see.. I don't even know if I should be mad at you in this journal entry.

Hurrah to you, pretty boy for having a girl confused. Hurrah to you for making me unsure what to do, your the first, you'll probably be the last.
...what does that say-- most likely..
I still love you(maybe)... somewhere in this stone heart of mine that has been beaten by others and stomped on by the war.. I still do..
Weather though I can look you in the face one day and not want to deck you-- is questionable, or just stare in shock like I did when you contacted me here---

maybe even cry.. and ask you why...

Congratz-- I guess I'll see you somewhere on the web, somewhere on aim.. and somewhere over the next bridge we may cross.

Progress Report!

~foxfirestorm — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 20:34:55 PST

Ok, so here is the progress report:

Hope - Being redrawn fully. Decided to go back after staring at the fully computer pictures and instead, pencil it out, get it right(straight lines and all) and scan it in. Then from there color it.
I'm useing the old one as a reference to how the frames should move, since it is laid-out alright.

Unknown Mosaic(atm the name escapes me) - After Hope, I'll be doing it also on paper and scanning that in.

Hard Hit - like: [link] - I have the title cover there for chapter 1 up, along with the 3 pages-- I'm working on Page 5 with 4 ready to be darkened and scanned in.

===============

Its been a long year-- its been long January-- but hopefully February and March will be more promising.
So here we go!

To The Transformers Mosaic and everyone else--

~foxfirestorm — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 22:32:41 PST

I want to give my greatest apologize.
I've been stressed out, badly, and having a hard time recovering from it.

I thought once the comic con was over, I be on a set goal to keep my comic updated on its page over on Drunk Duck(if anyone wants the link, I'll have it up later), and have time to finish the two mosaic pieces.

I feel like in the end result, I have failed many.
Maybe more so then I like to admit.

I hate failing.. and I hate being a failure.

I'm not happy with "Hope", the more I look at it, the more I grind my teeth-- First Aid is giving me issues-- and I'm also trying to find time to get my own comic done.

I WILL get this all done. I WILL get those two mosaic pieces done--
I just wish I had the time I once had.. and I wish my life wasn't such a mess.

I have a demanding mother who requires help most of the time because she can't walk or drive, so that least my sister and I to help her.
My grandmother is lazy, so I or my sister have to clean up after her, and to make it more fun, she is now in the hospital.
My dad is starting tour season, which means my sister and I will have to take care of the house too.

I work most of the day-- I have very little time to myself..
I feel like I'm going to explode and I'm trying hard to remain calm.

I love drawing, I love comics. I can do this-- I just wish I could relax.

I'm sorry if this sounds like excuses.. I'm sorry to my sister if she is reading this that I seem to make her do everything--
I'm sorry to my friends out there if I seem to be ignoreing you-- I'm trying not too, but i know it may seem I am.
I'm sorry to the Transformers Mosaic team for taking so d@mn long at this. It should never take this long, I know-- and no excuse or reason can atone for that, so I am sorry, and I'll make "Hope" better and make the second one even better then "Hope".

I'm sorry I'm such a loner, that I don't like being around people that much, and I rather be in my corner. I'm sorry that I seem to ignore everyone-- but to much attention makes me feel like I can't breathe and be free--- and not enough makes me feel forgotten.

I'm a mess, I suppose.
I'm not a normal person, I guess--
I'm complaining to be complaining-- maybe..

I just have allot on my shoulders and no way to express it. So forgive this long entry-- I guess this is just one way for me to release some of it.. and perhaps-- to honestly apologize for perhaps nothing wrong-- but to me, feels wrong.

Happy Birthday and yatta

~foxfirestorm — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 21:34:38 PST

Ok, so-- Lets get started!

What I have I been up too? ----

Getting ready for the Phoenix Cactus Comic con, which means(sorry to say) the mosaic piece which is nearly done got placed on hold yet again so I can have my primary comic ready for the con.
Blarg-- I swear... Life likes to throw me odd curve balls...

My Birthday ---

Interesting...
That is all I have to say.

New comic? What? ---

Yes, I'm working on a comic. I'll have the pages up once I'm fully done with them. Yay.

You sound kinda simple and to the point. Is something wrong?

Tired, semi-stressed, and wanting to go blow stuff up....

Something to do--

~foxfirestorm — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 07:32:56 PST

So I am still cramming on Comics, getting pages done on my personal projects before the comic con, and sadly, this placed the TF:Mosaic stuff in the background(sorry!).
However in taking a break from drawing all over my comic paper I got in (at last), I decided to take this crazy little test--

Needless to say, its fun!

Yay for Peck typing! XD

56 words

Touch Typing

New Years with a Bang

~foxfirestorm — Wed, 26 Dec 2007 07:02:31 PST

Ok, so this is my plan and everyone who reads this can quote me on this and if I do not do it, yell at me. XD

By Jan 1st-2nd(morning), I will have the Transformer Mosaic pieces done! Both of them. Parents or no Parents, I will get it done and I will make that deadline!

I've been working on these pieces of nearly three months I believe, that in my book is to long, and I'm sure for those waiting, to long as well. In my mind that means I'm being a let down.
I don't like failing and I don't like letting people down.

So, parents or no parents.. I will get this done!

---------------------

Now, what is up with the Parents remark? Simple, I had plans to get this done on X-mas eve and X-mas day, however my family decided Christi being up by herself on her laptop, doing whatever she does, was not allowed and thus the time I did have, went away--
Mind you I didn't mind the card-game, but I had the urge and I couldn't do a darn about it.

Now I wont also say this isn't partly my fault as welll--
See, I like to work on a projects and not stop till I hit that mark. When your working, you tend to get what you can done, stop-- work, come back, and attempt to go back at it again...
This doesn't work in my favor.

But what can you do right? Gotta have a job to make money to get the supplies ya need and pay for things to help your folks around the house(including collecting those expensive toys of mine aka Transformers).
So yea, its probably partly my fault for just saying, "Screw it--" doing it, letting myself get interrupted, then picking back up-- but seriously..
Its hard to stop once you got the tempo-- and even hard to get it back when you have to stop.

----------------------

So I will say this loud and clear...

I Will Get This Done!! *shakes fist at her wacom*

Doing better - piece by piece

~foxfirestorm — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 08:54:48 PST

Stress is starting to lower down, creativity coming back, and along with my good natured mood.
I actually finished a chapter for a comic project of my own(this made me thankful), getting my art swing back(though my computer drawing abilities seem to still be lacking), and I start my new job today at Arizona Art Supply.

Which is good, because I can get a discount on that expensive Blue Line comic paper and start work on that hand drawn Transformers Mosaic, while I fight with "Hope".
Not sure who now "Hope" has become such an ordeal. Perhaps fear could be blamed in this case, worried about failure, instead of just getting it done.

I really, /really/ need to work on stop being such a paranoid, worried-wart. Get it done, finish it up, submit it in, and be like, "Its done!"
Instead of staring at it going, "...is it just me or does this look like crap? It is crap-- it is a failure.." *sob*
...whoa.. doesn't that sound like a Transformers characters.. I am so not /him/(and I'll let you readers take a guess at who).

Hey Prime, get over and kick my aft here will ya. Thanks. XD

But seriously, a comic of my own is in the script works, plans to do a fan comic on Final Fantasy XI, and I will, by the name of the Matrix(does it even have a name?) get that Mosaic piece done!
*slams hand down and points at her wacom tablet* and you will work right.. you hear me! (<---- Seriously, I still have my sanity, I'm just showing I'm in a much, much better mood.)

Further Information

~foxfirestorm — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 07:14:57 PST

- My life:

Found a new job, which I start on November 27th(or at least the training half), still -kinda- working at Cold Stone, only because I have too.. not that I really -want- too..
ok so maybe a little bit of me -wants- too...

Outside of this, things are slowly getting reorganized. I've basically been shuffling things here and there, trying to get everything organized into place in my mind.
Which is hard to do since life keeps throwing them curve balls.. grrr

===================================

- The Transformers Mosaic:

Ok here, is where I'm really frustrated.
Its like, when you know what your capable of doing, but no matter how much you keep striding, the less it seems to get away. So in the end your sitting there scurrying, trying to keep it all together and keep that steam going.
Problem is-- what steam? I seem to lost it all when my mom got tossed into the hospital and it caused me to do a tailspin. Now, I'm trying to regain that which I lost, get myself back to rolling and moving like I was, and push on.
The desire is there.. the.. motivation is lacking. Especially when people are telling you this is pointless and 'you'll never get it done, so give up.' which is something I don't really need to be hearing right now anyhow. Since, I'm in a slump anyhow when it comes to my art and feel like -none- of it is going anywhere.

On the other side, the comic which is evolving Blades and First Aid will ne done on Paper-- yes, Paper.
Gonna be bring back out my ruler, pencil sets, and india ink set to crank this out. I guess you can say, I'm not happy with the way "Hope" is going on the computer. OpenCanvas does some things really great(Take that sonic page I posted up), however it can't seem to keep lines smooth(and trust me people, your not the only one who is noticing this).

Probably other reason for my frustration-- and experiment I thought would go well, seems to be going to crap, but-- I gotta keep going!

...ya'll have no clue how hard that can be sometimes(well, maybe a few of you who are reading this).

==================================

- My own personal comics?:

.....What personal comics? Seriously... its like-- looking at this giant brick wall of.. none cooperation for all my characters, who are all sitting up there, doing whatever, waving back down going, "How is the weather-- all mighty creator!! ahha"
...yea.. they are being a pain.. in my head!

I guess this is hard to explain unless you really into your characters and know them-- but its like your best friend who keeps tossing you to the side, and it.. kinda puts you in the slumps.
Because again-- you know what you can do.. but dang'it! Why wont it work right!?

....mrh..

===================================

- Overall:

..............

*takes a bazooka and goes blow stuff up* WOOT!!!
*blinks and looks at you* Remember kids, this is something you don't do at home... Bwhhahahaha!! *runs off*

Savera: -_-;

Life-- and more fun..

~foxfirestorm — Fri, 09 Nov 2007 16:17:42 PST

I've learned that life likes to throw you curve balls-- big ones too!
Ok, I started on that Mosaic project, was gun-ho-- and then BOOM, here comes those interruptions which slows down _everything_! So your now like struggling along trying to keep that steam going.

Then-- my mom gets place back in the hospital.. more stress! More things happening, and more yanking back on my chain.
So what was a up-hill stride, turning into a crawl, where I kinda keep slipping.. but I'm still hanging in there!

So now, I also kinda~ quit my job. I'm on Call, and he does need me a few more times, so I'm not like officially gone. Just.. unofficially.
Which means I now also get to go job hunting...

btw - long story behind the job deal and stuff.

Outside of this, I'm peachy-keen. Life is good, I suppose. I'm alive, so that is the bright side of things. I can still draw, just my focus is like-- zip due to the stress, which is really starting to bug me.
I have things to do, things I want to do, and projects to take care of-- I don't need this! *slams head on desk*

I'll be ok.. really.. I will be!

Transformers Mosaic - Hope - Progress Report!

~foxfirestorm — Mon, 08 Oct 2007 08:51:15 PDT

So The first one I'm working on is the page called "Hope".
Needless to say comfortable now with drawing Grapple(after doing him over and over again) and Prime being easy(since I use to draw him so much), I started to work on the page setup.
This went well, then my art program decided to give me trouble....

Yesterday I did the page layout; This means I took those setup pages an stuck them all on one big page too look and see if it was going to flow right(which meant straight lines and doodles), this took me about and hour/ hour and a-half to do. I went to save it(something went wrong here) to show it to my dad went the program decided to throw up an error and thus, crash itself taking my work with it.
Needless to say all I could do was stare at the screen-- stare at it some more, walk away from my computer, grab me something to drink-- my parents staring at me like, "What's wrong with her?", walk back, and stare at my screen some more. I guess you can say in a silent way, I was trying to will it to come back.

So, this has no placed me behind from where i wanted to be(which was get the comic ready to be colored by this weekend), to now maybe looking at next week. I hate when programs crash!!!
*glares at her laptop some more*

Look out here.. comes.. something

~foxfirestorm — Thu, 27 Sep 2007 16:49:06 PDT

Well, this has been a slightly fun and yet stressful month. Stressful as I am the only morning crew person at my job so I work mon-fri non stop, and apparently the one day I didn't work, the guy who was suppose to cover me-- didn't.
Yay..

I'm also trying to get my freaking Driver's license.. that isn't going very well.. either.

I had my friend come over so we could all go see Transformers at the Imax, and I still feel kinda bad(even if she told me not worry about it), that I wasn't being the greatest of a friend. If she is reading this, I am sorry-- even if you yet again tell me not to worry over it.. I still feel bad about it(I just had no clue what to do. ; .

The Transformers at the Imax was entertaining.. but the additional footage was.. well.. lame.
Ya think they could have added some -nice- stuff, like.. more battle footage, what happened to some of the decepticons.. will Jazz come back(heck even like Jazz's last words or something).

Beyond this, I also have signed up with the Transformers Mosaic project. Taking on two pages and crossing my fingers I can pull this off.
I should be able to really, after all, I'm a big enough Transformer fan as it is.

Will see what happens.

Btw - -This be them!

Everything must have a History, a story to tell..

~foxfirestorm — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 10:04:27 PDT

So, as some of you may know.
I've been working on some comic projects. One being a Sonic Alternate Universe with a fellow artist and my own comic dealing with my oldest character(whos name I will not state at the moment).

I am a believer that every character, everything must have a history. It is that history that makes them.
You see, over on a Transformers MUSH game I've been part of I play a canon character named Sky Lynx. With all my searching, looking over and reading, I realized this character has no history. He just.. is.
Sadly good ol' Christi can't be content with this idea of Sky Lynx not having a history and is now determined to give the Griffon/Dragon mechanoid a background. This has lead to some bumps with the head guys.

I go off a wide range of knowledge from the Transformers universe when I make a character. I pull from everything and use everything at my advantage. So, they thought the history was interesting, however reminded me that in this game, they are very much cartoon base history(which to me is kinda.. blah).
So, now I must work in my head a history that fits in said cartoon world for Sky Lynx.. which will be boring compared to the original one I made up. I'm sorry, I'm a person for dramatic story and making neat plot twists!

Sky Lynx is such a character for this. He is unique, one of a kind, and far different from anything in the Transformers Universe. I respect the character highly for what he is and what he can become if gave the right path. He is a master of anything he touches and perhaps one of the best fighters in the Transformers Time-line(outside of Optimus Prime).
He is Elegant, smooth, sure of himself, intelligent, and yes-- egotistical, but has all rights to be so and he knows it.
He isn't vain like Tracks and he doesn't show a sign of a snobby ego either. However his pride causes him to make him look far better then the others, but that-- in itself I'm sure has to do with his history-- I also think half the time in sheer size its hard for him to not look prideful and egotistical. After all, what soldier in there right mind would walk around with there shoulder slumped and head low.

Yes, I could go on forever about Sky Lynx, but point is: I really need to think of a good history that flexes into the world of the cartoon and that explains.. Him.

That will be my project for the day..

Where have I been? Hmm

~foxfirestorm — Sat, 21 Jul 2007 08:55:59 PDT

So, i still draw in my time and I still do stuff, so where have I been at(or seeming like I vanished)?
Well, for one been working on a fan-comic with *chibijaime so far we got three pages done, and I'm coloring page 1 at the moment. That will have more info on it once page 5 is done(along with the site which I have plans to do).

Secondly, I have found myself oddly addicted to a Transformers MUSH. Transformers 2k. Needless to say though they have some Cybertronian Olympic event going on(and it deals with after the 1986 Movie events), I'm finding myself among some really good rpers and well, havin' me a grand ol' time.

Outside of this, finish up my math course before I go on a six month vacation from college due to(not my fault) events. I have to wait for the next class to catch up with me, which means my education gets held back. Maybe I should have just gone to SCAD. *sighs*

My other plans are as followed:
Get my boots in
Get my driving liscence.
Depending on how job runs either A) keep job or B) get a better paying job.
Maybe get a apartment and move out.

Technically, the moving out is unknown. I am debating on it because in a strange way, I'm tired of listening to my parents and not really doing what I want to do. I pretty much have freedom in my house, expect on the chorse. I either do it when they want or get in trouble. That-- doesn't set well with me.

But there is your update!

You had to be there! Transformers Movie

~foxfirestorm — Tue, 03 Jul 2007 12:11:50 PDT

Ok, for one, I was the only crazy fan yesterday on July 2nd, to stand out at 12pm in the afternoon waiting, no others stood out there, just me and my sister, but that was ok.
They let us in at.. oh, 4pm, and then another guy was also waiting apparently, so we sat in line inside for awhile(me as the leader), and an hour or two, more fans started to show up. We were let in the theater itself at 7pm which I got myself and my friends some nice seats.

The fans were great, they cheered and such. It was a fun experience.

The movie I will say was also very enjoyable. I found myself several times getting tensed up and cheering silently for something to happen. Like: "Go get him Bumblebee! Show who is the top car!" or "How dare you stupid sector seven!"
I wont spoil to much of the movie, but I will say-- I do plan to see it a second time, maybe three more times before I'm done. I really loved what he did with it and I had a great time. The lines were cute, so much of the G1 flare there, and they kept Optimus right as Optimus.

Here is also a l few ines from the movie I loved - I also wouldn't call these spoilers, because I'm not naming who said them and where it is in the movie, but they are great!

"That was, tingly. You should try this!"
"Oh yes, looks like great fun.."

"Great, now its going to rust."

"Its the annoying parents, should I terminate?"
"What is with you and always wishing to bring harm, you know we do not harm the humans."
"Its just an option."

"Bumbleebee, stop lubricating on the human."

"I'll count to five!"
"I'll count to three."

"Ah the Nokia, very dangerous, knows the way of the Samurai."

"Look what you did to my mom's flowers!"
"..Oops."

"Ah its an earthquake!"
"How did you get under there so fast?"

"This humans pheromones are rather high, I say he want to mate with this human."

Transformers, More then meets the eye!

~foxfirestorm — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 18:27:23 PDT

Ok, so I'm getting really giddy about the movie coming up. So far, I have like seven tickets bought for the 8pm showing on July 2nd.
Mostly for my family and friends. Yea, seven tickets-- for a big group.

I am very much looking forward to this. However on the darker side, I'm really tired of listening to some of the older G1 fans complain. I have met a few, luckily I know more of the older fans who are just as excited for this movie.
It sad to me how people don't want to give a change a chance. Its kinda like the Marvel's G2 comics, this isn't our father's transformers.

Let face it, the word changes, so do that old heroes. So, I'm looking forward to this. *nodnod*

I also bought the Ps2 game for the movie. Needless to say its fun, so far--
I'm only in mission 2 of the autobot side and bumblebee is getting pwned by the racing decepticons.. who.. somehow keep beating me. Darn those radars!
I wonder if I can invest in a radar jammer.. *glances over at prime*.. you wont let me do that, now would you?

That-- and watching Bumblebee climb up the side of a building is amusing. He reminds you of a little beetle bug. He is just-- adorable.
So, I'm having fun and being amused. Even if I have failed five times to the evil decepticons race to the car-lot.. I will win yet!
I-- just need to get the hang of the driving, stop going in reverse.. and tell those darn cops to mind there own business! Gesh-- stuborn cops.
That is something else ya'll will find out in the game when you play. Cops like to get in your way-- allot. Apparent a fast racing car or the sight of a giant robot may send fear in the normal civilian but whoo-wee! Those cops will be over ya like a moth to a flame!

Anyhow, there is my update. XD

I win!

~foxfirestorm — Wed, 20 Jun 2007 12:06:28 PDT

WOOT!

Its been a long three weeks, but with the realization of closing time on this project, I was actually able to make it 1min long, get the message across, and it end actually at a very good spot on the music!
So now all I have to do is create the load bar, get the play button ready, and then for the end have a replay button.

This was also, as I found out, due today, or in my case, due tonight. So now this is one less thing for me to worry about. Now for the next thing(after I get the bar and stuff), to do math homework.

But first!

Laundry! XD

To the batcave!

Oh dear, oh dear - so said my art teacher

~foxfirestorm — Sun, 17 Jun 2007 07:54:11 PDT

Right, so here we are on this animation, its week 2, about to come up to the final run of my week, guess where I am?

25 seconds...

where I wanted to be - 3mins..

Yea, Christi let herself slide, didn't probably put in as much time, and for a moment I was about to go stir-crazy.
Animation-- you have reminded me why I love and hate you all at the same time. I do have great amount of patience but... darn does it take _forever_ to actually get something to move.

Not only that but since I use OC(OpenCanvas) to do everything in, I don't have allot of features open to me that are in Photoshop. So I most likely hurt myself while doing this and it was on-- Friday I believe it was, that I realized: "Oh, if you draw this in its own layer and use this tool you can move it around! That make things easier!"
Sadly, this was discovered perhaps to late in time. ><;;

So, now my mind is in a mad scramble on how can we back this up, end it sooner and make it look good by the end of the week(which is Thursday btw). Or-- so I hope its Thursday and she wont be evil and slam this like-- Monday!

On the good side is I learned a few things from this..

1) I can animate - but in the long run, I don't have the patience(it seemed to drain off in week 1 there)

2) Remember, you can draw things in layers and move them around(just to bad you can't rotate).

3) Drawing Gears suck! (This is actually what took me the longest)

4) I hate boxes(straight.. lines.. everywhere..)

5) Not enough Coffee

6) First year teachers are evil(and love to slam you with homework even when they know your working on a Final project)

7) The school needs coffee.. seriously, you think a school full of game designers they have a freakin coffee machine.. at least Phoenix had a coffee machine. -_-

8) I still rather be doing comics! (If I can get the _free_ time)

9) Father's can be evil too.. when he tries to take over as a director. -_-

10) Mom's being moved from Hospital to nursing home to hospital can set things-- behind. Yea-- I've been dealing with this for like-- 5 months now and she loves her attention, mmhm.

So-- I could go on with stuff, but I'll spare ya'll.
Will I still animation stuff? Maybe-- since I have a second class that deals with animation(maybe less of a n00b teacher this time).
Do I plan to stick to comics? Yes-- yes, and very much so-- yes!
Why am I going to for Game design then? Because-- lets face it. The world loves its Video games right now, so its better to take the moving lane then sit back in the slow. Though yes, this could end up slamming me in the face(like one of my loans nearly did).

Memory lane

~foxfirestorm — Sat, 09 Jun 2007 08:31:39 PDT

My sister found me this darn name of a Cartoon I couldn't remember and well, now matter what I did I couldn't find it. So apparently she was quizzing her from over 90s cartoons and she was called over to me, "Christi, I found that cartoon."

So here I am now early in the morning watching it hehe. Maybe to some its cheesy, but I still enjoy it.

Wild West Cowboys of Moo Mesa.

No wonder I could never remember the Title. XD

Its pretty much a southwest cartoon(kinda like the old westerns) done anthromorphic style with the cowboys being well, cows. XD

Done back in 1991 I believe, so those days of the wonderful Early 90s.

Go look it up on You Tube, great show, really-- at least to me. XD

Update time! O-One

~foxfirestorm — Mon, 04 Jun 2007 08:31:57 PDT

Ok, so just in case anyone is wondering how my music flash video is coming along, lets just says. I'm at the moment 11 seconds along into it, and the transition from gears to the tape heads for the main-frame went rather well.
However like all things I ran into my first.. glitch.

Apparently I have no problem animating the tape-heads to move, however, the tape itself which the heads read/write on.. doesn't move.. at all.

I thought maybe i could get away with an optical illusion that if the heads moved, so would the tape-- I was wrong. Very wrong.

So now I'm stuck sitting here this morning(since 7:40am till now 8:30am) trying to figure out, "How do I make this work?"

I have a feeling today will be a day Christi learns to rule over the tape and make it move.
I'm actually about to test the idea of like the tape heads, placing the tape itself on another layer, and just animate it-- or attempt to animate it moving.
Maybe by animating it in some form-- it will move. Though I have an odd feeling getting pretty much a straight line to look like its moving is gonna be rather-- impossible. But! I will give it a try for good time sake.
If that doesn't work-- well, I'm not sure what I'm gonna do(outside of maybe go bug the animator in our college and hope he doesn't decide to go, "Off with her head!").

I'll give ya'll another update again sometime this week(along with if I became the tape master. XD)

Take care for now!

to you all. =^^=

Research--

~foxfirestorm — Fri, 01 Jun 2007 08:23:50 PDT

Ok, so in the fact that I have to actually take math classes at school(darn gone-it), and I have a rather large Flash project on my hands(and for some reason Technologic will not import over).
I've been doing some research by watching other flash animation movies. Trying to get an idea on how many other people handle the whole Flash Animation thing.

The one thing I love for someone to answer me is how those darn nifty Load pages work. ><;
Seriously, I have no clue how those work, but that be a handy thing.

Also my teacher is still hung up on us Game Art students doing Video Game stuff. Hello-- we do not do video games we do the art and the behind the scenes stuff that everyone else forgets about(expect for a few).
Needless to say, I'm just gonna focus on my final project, that is the grand daddy after all. o.o

Fun, Fun Project time!

~foxfirestorm — Tue, 29 May 2007 22:06:42 PDT

*twirls and falls over*

Ok, so in Flash class I have decided to challenge myself, my teacher is now kinda concerned I may not be able to cut it-- I can make it. >.>

I plan to animate a music video to "Technologic" by Daft Punk.

This music video will be animated by me(no duh) concerned all the years of Computer and Game consoles. It will be a comedic music video and I already have a bit of it story boarded.
4mins and 44secs worth of animation is gonna come..

More Frustration!!

~foxfirestorm — Tue, 22 May 2007 15:26:07 PDT

...ok--

So I call my school(The Phoenix campus) and was told that I'm now in the hands of Tempe..

.....

what the.. bloody... yea..

I'm getting really ticked off about this. I'm suppose to be in the Phoenix campus, not over in Tempe!
Just because someone can't get there act together doesn't mean I have to suffer for this BS.
And to just tell me, "Well, its out of our hands for now" is like telling me, "Sorry, but we really don't care long as we get our money."

Yea, I just love educational system, bunch of BS.. if it wasn't for this darn loan looking at me, I would like quiet it all together and say, "Screw it! I'll just solo it!"

I realize that isn't the best way to look at it, but I'm ticked-- really, really ticked!

Bunch of money grubbin.. oooo...

Freakin Ale---

~foxfirestorm — Mon, 21 May 2007 09:16:07 PDT

Well, fun time, fun times.

First off, seems someone has screwed up the set-up of my classes so I'm going to the second college instead of the one I normally go to. The person hasn't given me a call back, so I have no clue what is going on or even why.

Secondly, I've never been over to the area expect for once and its a bit further out then this one and much larger. I don't do well in large groups, ever! I'm a very solitaire creature. I like my peace and quiet, along with not a bunch of people around me.

Now however on the flip side, which has nothing to do with life, but rather a game. Raevon has been made head of a secrete organization over in Aetolia. At least till their leader returns. He feels rather privileged(and I'm happy because I've never lead anything!!) however worried that his sire could get wind of this and make everything come crashing down.
But he is thankful someone else in the mortal world actually has faith in him, and this does mean much to the young prince, childe of Zoharim, hehe.

ZOMG!!!!! I'm do gonna be dead. XD

~foxfirestorm — Tue, 15 May 2007 19:25:36 PDT

So, my college summer break doesn't come till June 29th and we go back July 9th-- I can handle that. Though I'm not overly happy about this concept, I can handle it(and I get to go see my movie, yay ^^ )

However, what is bothering me is that the two classes I have coming up...
Algerbra(I can deal)
Traditional Animation(save me!!!)

I'm good at math, I can deal with math, however the Animation scares me. We are gonna be doing this-- and I know by the fact of experimentation, I have no patience for Animation. We will be using a Program called Flash MX and learning how to animate in that program. If I get the teacher I think I'm getting, its gonna be one tough road to hue.

I think I only know one person who has taken Flash Class(and if your reading this, you know who you are), so I'm crossing my finger he may(please) be willing to help me(pretty please) with any problems I run into( ;_; ).

So-- we will see what happens by next week. O_O

Final Fantasy XI - What is with me and Dragoons

~foxfirestorm — Sat, 05 May 2007 09:50:18 PDT

This is something totally off the beaten path, but in order to take out that depressing post, I decided I write this up.

What is with me and Dragoons?

Simple really..
I am a person who believes in honor, respect, give onto others as you give onto yourself. Always place others before yourself and all those other highly moral things. Though I do sometimes slip-off that path, but typically I stride right along with it.

Dragoons are known to be like, Knights really. Very honorable, one of valor, and tend to think of others before themselves(or try). They are the back-bone of San d'Oria in the game and the one job who can sub about everything and get something out of it.
People don't get Dragoons enough credit and for that fact, they rather watch a Dragoon fall then one make it to the top. No wonder on nearly every server there is like 20-60drgs compared to the 100s to 1,000s of other jobs running around.

I don't know, maybe I'm just very protective of my favorite job-- the same way I have a great love for Dragons and still remember the "Knight's Code" in Dragon Heart.
Its a great code I think---

A knight is sworn to valor,
his heart knows only virtue,
his blade defends the helpless,
his might upholds the weak,
his word speaks only truth,
his wrath undoes the wicked.

Where am I go, where have I been..

~foxfirestorm — Thu, 03 May 2007 08:29:26 PDT

You sometimes end up sitting back thinking over the past and wondering to yourself, is all this I am doing really worth it in the end? Going to college to get a degree so that you can get some office job kissing some boss' feet, really worth it? Getting a college degree to only end up sitting at home with no job because no will hire you? Finding someone in five projects, just to get laid off on all of them and have nothing?

I go to college because I wanted to get a job that could support me, so I could chase my dream through the back-doors, now here I am wondering if this was such a good idea. I know what I want, but will I lose it all in the end and watch the flames consume everything I have in this crazy, unforgiving world..

I'm a positive person really, I believe everyone can get what they want, if they try hard enough. But, my logical also over-rides much of my positive out look on life. When like someone snaps a finger in my face and goes, "Look at the world around you, do you really think they care? Do you really think you can fight with the tough of them and crawl out surviving?"

I want to become a someone, but who doesn't right? Everyone wants to get a hold of shooting star.. I just-- really hope in the end, I don't look back, homeless and forgotten, wondering if everything I have done is right, or even more so--
I hope I don't turn into that person who has become so shattered, all I can see is pitch black and no light at the end. Taking down everyone around me and living in solitude--- I don't think.. I could ever survive like that, at least-- not now.

But who is to say what the future holds, right? We walk on turning, spinning paths, that criss-cross, stand aside, and sometimes travel alone.
I guess-- we will just have to wait and see...

What have I been up too?

~foxfirestorm — Sat, 14 Apr 2007 09:32:26 PDT

Well, lets see:
I went back to playing FFXI(even though after my rant, I still went back). Try to play Horizons again, having some trouble actually getting evolved in that(I think I'm still burnt out on it). Been takin' a break from Aetolia.
Been working at my job, trying to get a pair of boots paid off(so far with 0 luck), and now trying to see if I'll have enough to get my printer new ink cartigies, pay my dad, pay my sister some gas money, and send some money for my boots(after I call them and find out why they didn't take the 60 out like I told them too).

I bought my sister FFXI, so now both of us can play at the same time, yatta yatta.
Been working on a sculpture for my Humanities class in college. That is going along smoothly, but I started a bit later(hopefully he doesn't mind seeing a semi-done product).

Ummm..

Been working on some character designs for my sonic fan comic(revamping the old one I did some time back). I _wanted_ to write the script for it during my spring break, but that doesn't seem its gonna happen. Kinda ran into a nasty writter's block after doing Chuck's(my boxing bunny) story. So, I'm tryin' to get my brain to work with me, but it doesn't want to give!

Been watching Justice League since I own the DvD sets. I think when my dad gets back will be moving into Season 2(yay).

Oh yea-- and tryin' to keep the house clean, which I have also been failing at. XD
I'm a horrid person when it comes to cleaning, because I rather sit back then clean base boards of our house. ><;

Online Games and that whole Mess

~foxfirestorm — Sat, 10 Mar 2007 10:47:57 PST

Weird how when i was younger I found the MMORPGs to be like the best thing ever, and now, with a job, FFXI, I'm finding it to be rather-- boring.
I have played EQ, Trailed WOW, CoH, RF Online, Trailed version of SW:G, and played Horizons. Out of all of them I played it seems like I only really enjoyed Horizons. Sadly, Horizons has gone to crap due to the company getting bought out by another company.
Gotta love politics and money.

So here I am still with FFXI, boring me to death, and not even sure why I'm still paying for it. -_-
CoH was fun, but-- I just got bored of having no one to interact with/Roleplay.

See, that is my big thing against MMORPGs, no one wants to roleplay, get in character, actually do some thinking. CoH had them, but they were scattered about and didn't come around very often. FFXI is like dead-zone for Rolepalyers, and the others did have it, but, just the games were getting old, and there wasn't much you could do.
Horizons had a great amount of roleplayers, great community, but again, the company. *sighs* After all-- who wouldn't enjoy a game where you can be a dragon, turn into an adult, and fly around being all, "Ha-ha-ha I am ruler of the skies and I got me a Lair!" That and there was also no PvP. I hate PvP.

So, it seems I spend majority of my time playing Aetolia. Aetolia is a MUD MMORPG. Player base is like 200(small), alot of people play Alts. All text, Roleplay is a big thing there, and your imagination is free to do as it wishes(though is minorly, very minorly restricted to the game mythos).

I find myself turning my back on the Graphic MMOs and spending more time dealing with a text game that can be played anywhere and probably just as much obsessed with it as some one is running around gimping in WoW.

Difference between myself and them(nothing personal to any friends I have out there), is I actually have to think, act, and try really hard to keep my grammar and spelling in check.

I guess in the end what I'm trying to say in this large mess is that, I, myself, Enjoy the complexity that is MUDs. To the complexity of building a character, understanding the enviroment, large amount of readings, to the great imagination it takes to understand it all, and having to memorize the commands so you can attack the monsters so you can gain levels. To all the way of the simple things like just relaxing, building, sneaking around, and having fun.
On top of that-- its all Free! XD No game to buy, no nothing, free, free, free. Unless of-course, you want to buy a castle-- then that takes some gold.. well ingame.. or faster.. your own hard cash. XD

EDIT::: Okay so maybe would go back and play a graphic MMO, but the only one that I even think about spending my money on is Horizons, why? Because of the Dragons!!

Crash and Burn-- Oh boy

~foxfirestorm — Wed, 28 Feb 2007 08:54:33 PST

Well, all this sooner or later have to make my life(which seems to go up) come crashing back down to earth.
I go to Collins College-- I'm a Game Art student and there is only like three of us for the night class(everyone got flunked in the first part). Needless to say, if any of us drop out of the three, or-- vanish, whom ever is left gets placed on hold.
All Three of us are hard workers in our class, we don't screw around(okay, so maybe a little), and we stay in high grades.

My problem is-- Looks like I might be the one who is gonna send everyone on freeze. Why? Because apparently the creditors caught up with my mom being in the hospital and not employeed due to it. So now they are denying that. No loan, no Christi goes to school.

I have to go talk to them tonight and see what can be done--

My dad can't apply cause his credit is f'ed up due to my mom, my mom has good record because she f'ed up my dad's(long story), and my grandmother can't do it because she isn't my legal "Guardian". I can't do it because-- well, apparently they don't like me. O.o

Like my grandmother and I tried on a shared loan thing, and they denied her-- yet, she has perfect credit, go figure.

So, I'll keep ya'll updated on my wonderful dramatic life of this college student who still, Still, wants to be a comic artist-- at some point.

Gah, I swear-- gotta back door everything these days. ><;;

So On this Month---

~foxfirestorm — Sun, 04 Feb 2007 08:06:23 PST

Okay, for one, I got my laptop. This thing(which I am typing on now) is a hall-arse machine. Officially I am queen of the computers again.

As for what happened in my last journal, let me give ya'll a run down of my life events(and perhaps to some of you, wondering what happened to Christi):

My mom went into the hospital a few days before my birthday. Those days before she left, she was having trouble walking, she would fall down allot, lose her balance, and couldn't go to the bathroom at all. Her body was shaking, and lets just say it wasn't pretty.
In the hospital, they did some MRI scans and Cat scans and realized her spinal cord of her neck area, around her central nerve had some kinda tissue blocking the central nervous system, and it needed to be removed. That hospital she was in however didn't have the equipment or the specialists to do it.
That was a three day wait to find a Hospital that did to take her in, and every day that went by she was getting worse.

So, they found a hospital, there they did some more scans, and the doctor found out the problem. Her spinal column around the back part if her neck, the part that allows the neck to be flexible and holds in the spinal fluid to protect the nerves, turn to bone, and pushed out the fluid, causing the Nervous System to have no protection. ><
So they went in, did some surgery, and found out once they got her to rehab(three days later, I believe), that they will have to do another surgery some time later.

The good news is, she is slowly recovering and getting some of her functions back to normal. She can't walk yet. She can move her left arm, hand, and leg(along with foot), fine. But her right hand and leg arn't really responding. She can also somewhat go to the bathroom(like just recently) but she still can't pee.
However Friday and Saturday I spent time with her and I got to see her improvements slowly.When she struggled she could get her right leg to move a little and see did-- kinda, pee-- though it was a struggle for her. But far as I was concerned, even if it was a little and a struggle, its still a improvement, right?

So that is what has been keeping Christi rather to herself over here and not talkin' to all of ya'll. I tend to, when problem arise, keep to myself. Not the greatest of things, but I figured now things are looking up, I'll share with ya'll and let ya'll see what's been up.

However how long she will remain in the Hospital is unknown. The Doctors say 8 weeks, it could be longer and with a second surgery-- well, most likely longer. So will see what happens.

My Birthday has passed and I was crying

~foxfirestorm — Wed, 24 Jan 2007 01:39:50 PST

This has been the most stressful week for me, and worse off, my birthday felt like an empty hole within' me.
My mom is in serious trouble-- I don't want to get into details but she is in really bad shape. My dad is stressin' like crazy, which leads me to stress like no other.

The whole family is in chaos and there isn't much I can do as a daughter but pray to God, cross my fingers, and hope for the best.

I'm trying to smile, laugh, cut up, and joke. I'm trying to find some hope in all this and some light on the other side, but sadly-- I can't find a thing.

I miss my mom right now. I miss her voice, her yelling, her laugh, her crazy singing, and her playful jokes.
I just hope things get better soon, for myself-- for everyone.

Back to my Roots!

~foxfirestorm — Mon, 08 Jan 2007 07:50:39 PST

I decided like yesturday(and having a very long conversation with my sister), I'm going back to do what I love doing.
Drawing, character concepting, and working on my comics.

Come College, Work, or whatever, I'm going to start working on the character designs needed for the Nightmare Prince and Most likely also for the Sonic Universe Comic.

One fan Comic, one original Comic.

I started work on the Sonic Universe some time ago. Never finished it because I got annoyed at myself for, some reason I have forgotten. I believe because I felt like it was no good, or something like that.
That always tends to kill me when I do my own stuff, I think its crap and I never just push myself to see what happens.

Nightmare Prince(as we are calling it), is an original idea my sister and I have been toying with for like-- nearly a year now(?) and still toying with it. We come up with characters, we kill characters, we re-create characters, we create new bad guys for the characters, and yatta-so-on.

So here is the simple run down, if anyone is interested:

Sonic Universe - Deals with an alternate reality of Sonic, more humanistic characters, and Tails(Miles) Power is a girl(wee). Knuckles is gay(hark). Victor is cool(and likes to listen in on Robotnic's robots conversations). Sonic thinks he is a bad boy and likes to smoke(which Knuckles always puts a stop too). There is no Amie(sorry, I really dislike her). Robotnic can not be called Eggman and he really isn't the bad guy(bum-bum-bum). And the true villian is my own personal character whom is a Nano-gentic-experiment of a clone gone bad of sonic(and he is a real pain).

Nightmare Prince - One human girl + Prince of Nightmares, mixed with nightmare fun, and a dash of cuz(brother, some realitive) who wants the thrown = A world of fun, craziness, and the ultimate villian named Jack Frost(why is he in here, because he is that 'cool').
I would say more on the subject, but-- by next month, we might have a whole new plot like all over again(Grrrr).

So that is the basic of basic break downs.

When will they get done, I have no clue. When will my sister get to writting it, I don't know. When will I have time, I'll make it. When will I stop asking myself questions dealing with the strange title of roots--- When I feel like it!

I'll keep ya'll updated on what goes on with the comics. I will most likely also update my site with the information to boot, but don't expect it to be like in the next three days for me to have anything ready. I'm probably going to spending a whole month character designing and driving my art teacher nuts(hehe).

Happy New Years

~foxfirestorm — Sun, 31 Dec 2006 22:56:54 PST

Yay for the next year..

I guess. XD

So what does this mean for me? More drawing, more work, more college, more playing games, and perhaps finding away to fly someone down here for once! (Like that ever happen).

I don't really have plans for 2007, why? Because I know if I make plans, I can never keep them. Because every time I make the smallest idea of what I want, someone comes in and alters them on me.

So I'm just gonna enjoy my life, sit around, doodle, play games, and listen to music!

Boo-yah!

Welcome to the Year 2007!

Oh when, oh when..

~foxfirestorm — Sat, 09 Dec 2006 17:25:27 PST

I was looking over my gallery and saw my old sonic fan comic I was doin. Realized, I really need to just sit down and write a script again for it. It wasn't a bad idea, but I needed to really put more work into and less bashing myself that I'm a bad writter.
I can't write stories, but I can write scripts, and that is all you need for comics.

I'm also thinking about killed my FFXI and Horizons account. Why? Because I really don't play them any more. I've just lost interest and don't see why I should keep a game I really don't pay and I have to pay the monthy fee for.
At least with Aetolia you can actually excute some imagination and its free.

I don't know-- I have been doing so much thinking lately about things and how they work.
Secondly, I guess maybe as I get closer to turning 20, I start to see things in a different light. Graphic games are becomeing more boreing unless they have a complex story that really grabs yea, and I enjoy Aetolia more because it causes me to really have to sit there, think, and try to hold a in character conversation with proper grammer.

I'll see what takes place, see how my mood is, and then work with that.

Labtop Tomorrow???

~foxfirestorm — Sun, 03 Dec 2006 07:17:37 PST

Typically when I get things I don't go jumping up and down for excitement. Typically I stay rather calm and collective and go, "Oh, okay, cool." But there are a few things that can get my all happy and really wanting to hope its true(or I know its true).
One of those is my Birthday, though I think that has slightly faded down. Going on a cruise-liner, maybe to a themepark, or going to see some movie I've been waiting forever to come out.

Never thought getting a laptop would make me get all bouncy really. Then again, I have always had a love for machines and computers. I'm a tech nerd. XD I might not be no stero-type of it, but when it comes to my computers, I know my stuff. If I don't, I research it.

Anyhow, my school(Collins College) is providing us with these laptops. Its a Dell Precision M90 I believe. Its a workstation laptop, and zomg, is it a sweet machine. At least from what I saw online of the specs. Unless the school has failed me and really cranked down what's inside, this will be a scream machine.
Though for some reason I have a strange feeling they might have, hmm.

Well, I will bring a further update when I found out, if! If indeed we are getting our laptops tomorrow.
Hm, wonder if I should go in super early....

One of those days...

~foxfirestorm — Fri, 17 Nov 2006 18:48:49 PST

I had one of those days today. One of those days you wish the whole world would just stop so you can take a breather.
Luckly when I got home from work I could, but at work today, ah man.

It started out good, ended up, as a girl said with me, "You look like your ready to explode or go into a nervous break down."

She wasn't to far off. My day at work was crap, typically its fun, but today I nearly wanted to scream. Thankfully that wonderful logic of mine keeps me from doing that(though one day I have a feeling my lack of showing emotions is really going to catch up with me one day).
Let see, apparently I have injured my wrist(which seems to now be swallon a tad). Cut my thumb on a can's lid(nasty cut). Dropped a ban of brownies. Forgot to count and put in the register's money. Had to recount when I got ready to end my job the register box like 5 times, to only realize I was doing it wrong the whole time. So in the end I counted it 7 times. -_-
At least I made five dollars on tips. I guess everyone felt sorry for me. -_-

Outside of that, The good news is, my Jungle Book dvd files at last finished downloading so I can now watch Jungle Book(Disney Animated style) and Episode 8 of Black Blood Brothers is out.

Perhaps tomorrow at work will be a better day, perhaps, my wrist will stop hurting!!

So, chat with ya'll later, and thanks for reading the rant. Though no pitty needed, I just needed to let out some more steam. -_-

Also to note: My computer hates the mood thing today, I guess Kosh is feeling evil, or Savera. So no, i'm not feeling Zesty, more like mono.

At Last!!!

~foxfirestorm — Thu, 26 Oct 2006 16:04:33 PDT

Behold I know have a job!!! :woot:

I start work Monday, October 30th. Where am I working, you ask?

I'm working for Cold Stone Creamery!

I have to admit, I figure I be at like Best Buy, Game Stop, somewhere with electronics and stuff, but hey. Ice Cream Palor works just as good.

I also got to see the sixth episode of BBB
I swear.. I really hate where they stop those things at!

Anyhow, I'll update with further news later..

BTW - College so far is Ea~sy!

Black Blood Brothers - Must see

~foxfirestorm — Thu, 05 Oct 2006 09:15:45 PDT

Okay, typically I don't get envolved to much in watching Anime. There are only a few that I do enjoy, well, I just happen to want to see what was out there for vampires.
Thus, I found Black Blood Brothers!

This is an anime if you get the time, you really should find on BitTorrent and check out. So far, I only know four episodes are out and you can watch Episode 1 on YouTube.

So go find it, watch it, and enjoy.

Warning Notice: The first part is to me is kinda a-typical of the show, like the very start of it, but once you get past that and continue on, to me it gets better and better!

Peachy Keen

~foxfirestorm — Thu, 14 Sep 2006 10:37:10 PDT

Okay, so. It has been two months without a job, nearly have spent my account to death and strungly to keep it running.

Luckly, I start a job around the end of October, though at the end of october, I'm praying my account doesn't go into the red. I hate being in bad shape on things and I hate the fact that nothing is working right.

I guess I should be happy I have a job that is comming up right? Should be greatful I even got lucky.

Over all, I'm still taking commissions. They can range from 5-20 dollars. I'm killing that whole this makes this crap. That is way to confusing even for me. So if you ask me a commission, I will determine the price from what you are asking of me.
Fare Enough, right?

The most I charged anyone was 20 dollars, and that was for a inked, scaled, shaded dragon. Which took me like 4 days too do, and an eagle which took me a whole week.

So over all..

Commission Status: Open!

Not good.. Commissions Needed

~foxfirestorm — Thu, 31 Aug 2006 15:12:42 PDT

Okay, I'v been out of a job for awhile.. I got college comming up, so now I have to do my next best thing I can do to that darn EB games opens up, so I can go to work..

People, I am taking commissions. I never liked doing commissions, never liked asking people for money to do drawings for them, but I need it.
This is for my college education, paying back my parents, and needing the money for the art supplies.

========================

The Basics:

Sketch Drawing - $2

Inked Drawing - $5

Pencil Shaded Inked Drawing - $7

Prisma Color Pencils, inked Drawing - $10

Photoshop Drawing(sketched by hand and scanned in) - $14

++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Other:

Extra Characters - $2

Background - $4

++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Dragons, Animals, Head drawings, and Bust drawings:

These will depend on the details and time I believe it will take me. I do expect that Head drawings and Busts will be cheaper then a normal sketch, unless you are asking me to a insane amount of detail.

Dragons and Animals will depend on what you want from me. I do dragons with scales and without, however with scales I do not color them.
Animals are also tricky for me to do, so depending on what you want from me, depends on the price.

Thank you

Babylon 5 + Kosh = Hehehe

~foxfirestorm — Wed, 02 Aug 2006 07:38:10 PDT

I'v come to realize rewatching Babylon 5 again from my very young youth now an young adult with my parents, one how much I did not understand it and two, it apparently drove my art skills into drawing odd things.

I think outside of being a big Transformer Fan nut, Prime glomper(along with a few other poor soldier mechs), Panthro and Tigra taker, and just random guy mix(lets not forget to throw in Mufsa, Darth Vader, D'Sparil, and a few Anthros), I am very very large Kosh fan.

I find myself after our four episode(maybe two on a bad day), jabbering about Kosh. We are argued that he floats, not walks. I think he walks.
We joked about him a little, and his sweet arse sheep.
I would do the snipet we came up with as a comic, but I don't think the dancing Vorlon ship would be as funny in comic as in animation.

I just wanted to Glomp that dumb Vorlon and listen to his music and not his words. ehehe... Yay for Kosh!!

and dangit.. I can't remember that big lugs last name. ><

Who da thunk it

~foxfirestorm — Sat, 20 May 2006 09:27:11 PDT

Okay well, I did some spring cleaning in my gallery. Man, I did alot of bad artwork when I was younger. XD Major improvement from then to now when I start looking over it and see the difference. Its rather amazing.
I kept some of my old stuff in there, some of the things I deemed worthy to keep, so its not like a major drop in stuff.

I also added my webpage back up, since I'm starting to get it back into shape.
Going to have a summer job, woot, and My finals are this week... ; ;
My growing up and moving into the real world... which.. I feel sorry for the real world, haha.

Takeing a break from school, not going to go to SCAD till like 2007. Going to be working on some comics(about freakin' time), and trying to hold down a job to make some cash for college.
I'm not overly worried about getting my drivers license, even though all I have to do is drive around and go look at what I can do.
It took me three times to pass the written(computer) test.

Oh yea, if you people like Roleplay, like myself. You guys gotta check these two places out. They are MUD(MUSH, MU*, whatever you call them) games, but they are extremely hard core roleplayers, at least the people I get stuck with anyhow.. o.O

[link] - Aetolia: Vampires, Werewolves, and Dark Knights, oh my.
Aetolia is about being a vampire, seriously. I'm not kidding you.. That is what I started out as, you gotta find the buggers though and prove yourself, alot of them are not going to take you in open handed.
The Werewolves are also nice, but eh, need to work on the leadership skills. These guys are kinda new, so, hehe, don't get to harsh on them. *has to keep reminding herself of that*

[link] - Lusternia: Lets do the Diminsional Warp!
Why the title? Cause that is what you can do. XD Lusternia has several diminsional plains you can jump around on when you get your skill high enough. Unlike Aetolia, Lusternia is more happy go lucky, well, at least in Serenwilde forest it is.. o.o

In truth, I take Aetolia over Lusternia any day, but that is what happens when you have a male vampire character with sexy bat wings who is lvl 65 and going.. XD

Because Beamer said too

A) First, recommend to me:
1. a movie
2. an artist
3. a musical artist, song, or album

(B) I want everyone who reads this to ask me three questions, no more, no less. Ask me anything you want. No kidding, ANYTHING, I'll give you the absolute honest truth, to the best of my ability.

(C) Then I want you to go to your journal, copy and paste this allowing your friends to ask you anything.

Whoa..
I never thought I see the day that would happen.

Which once again brings up the fact that I still have no computer, thus, no scanner, which means, no one can see how good I have progressed.

Bah!

I guess I haven't progressed that much, but it does look much better than before. Oo
I'm also doing an asignment for my Drawing 3-4 class, which has now offically scared me. Our teacher wanted us to create characters, but no Cartooning from me(she classifies my style under comic/cartoon style.. grrrr).
So I got bored, and drew up something straight out of my creepy imagination, which means, I let it out freely, and I scare myself now.

I'm also going to go to a summer collage program for 3 weeks around July.. so it is still some time away.. but it is far.
It is SVA(School of Visual Arts) in New York. O.O
So from Arizona to New York I will go in the summer.. and if I like it(which I probably will), then I'm gonna go there after I finish High School. ^^
Which is like still a year away.. since I am a grade behind the rest of my peers, darn starting school late.. grrr
