        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ For stuff and reasons, I'm opening up a few commission slots. Prices start at:<br /><br />$40 for greyscale bust/waist, no background, single character<br />$60 for color bust/waist, no background, single character<br />$60 for greyscale full body, no background, single character<br />$85 for color full body, no background, single character<br />$100 for a two-view, pencil character sheet, similar to my Tiefling Rogue or Eladrin Paladin<br /><br />Additional characters usually double the price. I'm not taking on any full painting/backgrounded pieces right now, unless you really pique my interest. If you're interested, you can send me a note here, or email me. ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ Does anyone have any experience with/knowledge of getting something like a tarot deck printed? I've got a long-term project in mind, and while I would like it to be tarot size/shape/quality, it's unique, with a different card count. My current stumbling block is finding a way to get such a deck printed, and at a reasonable cost. I don't think anyone would pay $100+ for a deck, no matter how much I'd like that. ;) Links to printing companies that do this sort of thing, or even better, blogs or news articles about the process of doing something like this, would be great. ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ I haven't been hanging around there much lately - too depressing. Back in June, someone hacked my account and stole almost everything of worth from me, including all my gold, my tokens, my tickets, and my Summoning Tome and Kiki Kitty Plush! It was a very rude thing to come back to, having happened during Anime Mid-Atlantic, but I filed a report within a week of the incident, and haven't heard back yet. Is two months normal for a mod report response? I have the reference number, but it doesn't seem like there's any way to track the report with it. :( ]]></media:text>

The continuing gallbladder problems I've had had lead not just to another agonizing attack, but also were causing pancreatitis. Given that new complication, they wouldn't let me leave this time, and I stayed to have surgery to remove my gallbladder last night around 7pm. I couldn't take the horrible bitchiness of the nurse today, so I pushed to get out of there as soon as possible this morning, despite still being in a lot of pain.

In six years of attending conventions, almost always in the artist alley, never once have I been told I was breaking the rules. No stickers at your convention? They get left at home. No adult work at your convention? I don't even bring the binder. In fact, I wrote a tutorial on attending conventions as an artist, reminding everyone to follow the rules as they were laid out. I should have listened to my friends who said that Ohayocon was rife with problems.<br /><br />This was the first time I'd been to Ohayocon &#150; with an eight hour drive, venturing into an unknown is always a risk, but I submi ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ I honestly don't know of anyone who actually did get an Artist Alley table at Katsucon this year, so the hotel room that I booked not long after last year's convention would go to waste if someone who deserves it doesn't get a chance. If anyone's interested, it's in the Hyatt proper, a two bed room (rather than the one queen bed), at the convention rate, and booked for 4 people. You'd need to transfer the room to your card, and it would go in your name.<br /><br />Alternate view: does anyone have a table they'd be willing to give up/share?

They also have a referral program - pre-register for the convention with my email address ( julia@ghostfire.net ) as a referral, and I'll get $5 at the con!

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ I'm currently taking pre-orders for a t-shirt and poster version of "Otaku Diet". (DA picture here) The t-shirt will be black, and available in small - 3XL, and girl-cut small - large. The poster will measure 18x24 inches, but instead of the $40 that deviantart charges, will be $15, or $10 for those who pre-order! Here's the thing - unless I get enough pre-orders, I won't be able to send these to the printer, so order yours today and help make them real!<br /><br />Convention List<br />It's a long one this year, and may get longer...<br /><br />Katsucon<br />February 15-17, 2008<br /><br />Castle Point Anime Convention<br />April 13, 2008<br /><br />Ubercon<br />April 25-27, 2008<br /><br />AnimeNext<br />June  ]]></media:text>

Even if I wanted to return to the East Coast, I have no idea how I'd accomplish that right now. I feel like I'm stuck.

I'd talk more, but I feel like I'm engaging in mental arm-flailing and little else. ]]></media:text>

Please read this journal entry by :iconmessa:. She has been accepted to MCAD, the same college that I will be attending (and did attend years ago - if you don't know this story, it's a long one, but I digress). MCAD is quite a pricey school, and at the last minute her student loan cosigner fell through. She needs help in a hurry, as the deadline for full payment is only about a week away. She's offering postcards and bookmarks, among other things.<br /><br />Please help her out, people. She's  ]]></media:text>

Much love to mugmoni for putting up with us. ^^ Wynn and I now have an apartment waiting for us, though! My first real apartment that isn't student housing, but it is right next to the campus! My head is so full, I've got a touch of the ADD because I can't focus on one thing for more than a moment. But I'm back! ]]></media:text>

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ Wow, thank you, everyone. What Lies Beyond the Story is, far and away, my most popular piece ever. I'm glad that there are so many people who agree that Sora/Kairi is the most overlooked couple in the Kingdom Hearts fandom. I have so many other ideas for art just bursting out, and never enough time to get them out. I've got dozens of sketches that would all make great new paintings. It's safe to say that I was a lot more inspired by KHII than I was the first game, though I'm not certain why. I absolutely loved the first one.<br /><br />:iconjonquilaries: :icondigitalphooka: and I will be working on a three part crossover crossover fanfic involving King ]]></media:text>

If anyone's interested, I have a commission price estimator on my website at my commissions page or at ghostfire.net under Market - Commissions.<br /><br />Also, if anyone's in need of website design (serious propsals only), I'm also open for that. If you're FTP challenged, I also have my own content management system that I'm giving only to people I do website design for. ]]></media:text>
