                <description><![CDATA[ <p>.: Raising Funds!</p><br /><div class="content"><br /><br />As of a family discussion last night, I may be attending ColossalCon next year. Since the rest of the family is coming to take advantage of the fact that it's at one of those indoor waterpark hotel thingies, lodging and food are paid for. However, I really, really want a new cosplay, and I've got absolutely no money for one because I don't have a job and every cent I possess is in my "in case something awful happens to Gabby and I need cash FAST" fund. I guess I can get by with Jun and then Deunan's fuzzy elbow cocktail dress (still in progress), but here's the thing: the con is in June, plus it's at a waterpark, so I need a female character I know and love whose clothes are comfortable for warm weather, and who has also been seen onscreen in a reasonable swimsuit.<br /><br />...Oh, why, hello there, Major <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />So where do you come in? By following this <a href="http://hakojo.deviantart.com/journal/25698796/">[link]</a> and commissioning some art from me, of course! AND, in the interests of whoring myself out for the sake of making money, if you mention in your order that it's for the cosplay effort, you get to request a picture of said cosplay in the pose of your choosing, within reason and within my own personal comfort zone. Obviously nothing excessively sexual, and there will be no more bare skin than is already present in the outfit (c'mon, that'll be more than enough as it is, right?), but if you've always wanted to have sarong!Major blow you a kiss, or even hold up a little sign that says "I <3 [your name here]", throw me a donation and I will be more than happy to accommodate, plus you'll get some art for your trouble.<br /><br />Any questions, let me know. Again, my commish info is here: <a href="http://hakojo.deviantart.com/journal/25698796/">[link]</a><br /><br /></div> ]]></description>

It's labeled:<br />Silent Weapon - Satou Yuuko (...o.o)<br /><br />9. Your teacher is angry and yells:<br />Real Emotion - Koda Kumi<br /><br />10.

                <description><![CDATA[ Yanked from <a href="http://chiisai-mini.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/c/h/chiisai-mini.gif?10" alt=":iconchiisai-mini:" title="chiisai-mini"/></a> because I'm sick today and need a temporary distraction from the fact that my throat feels like it's been gone around a few times with a wire brush.<br /><br />A.) Put your music player on shuffle<br />B.) Press forward for each question.<br />C.) Use the song title as the answer to the question.<br />D.) NO CHEATING!!!<br /><br /><br />1.) How am I feeling today?<br />Boom Boom Satellites - Easy Action<br />(...Eh?)<br /><br />2.) Where will I get married?<br />Masaaki Endo - LIVE in Baghdad<br />(That's oddly specific. XD)<br /><br />3.) What is my best friend's theme song?<br />Half-Life 2 - Path of Borealis<br />(I'm still trying to figure out who my best friend is, so I dunno about this one o.o)<br /><br />4.) What is high school like?<br />ALI Project - Coppelia no Hitsugi<br />(LOLWUT)<br /><br />5.) What is the best thing about me ...?<br />BoA - Beside You<br />(This really would have been more appropriate for 'friend's theme song' since I've decided that DJ is my best friend.)<br /><br />6.) How is today going to be?<br />Boom Boom Satellites - Bike Ride to the Moon<br />(Well, that's how cold medicine <i>usually</i> makes me feel...)<br /><br />7.) What is in store for this weekend?<br />Kanno Yoko - Fish ~ Silent Cruise<br />(...okay.)<br /><br />8.) What song describes my parents?<br />Paku Romi - Hagane no Kokoro<br />(AHAHAHAHAHA.)<br /><br />9.) How is my life going?<br />Boom Boom Satellites - Soliloquy<br />(Oh come on, I don't talk to myself <i>that</i> much...)<br /><br />10.) What song will they play at my funeral?<br />Kajiura Yuki - In Your Mind<br />(No comment.)<br /><br />11.) How does the world see me?<br />Thomas Newman - Drive Away (End Title) <br />(YES I have the soundtrack for the Series of Unfortunate Events movie, shut up it's awesome. And if the world thinks I have the awesomest credits ever, go me.)<br /><br />12.) What do my friends really think of me?<br />Kanno Yoko - Prophet<br />(o.o)<br /><br />13) Do people secretly lust after me?<br />Valve Corporation - Stop What You Are Doing<br />(....Okay?)<br /><br />14.) How can I make myself happy?<br />Emily Bindiger - Adieu<br />(Why do these things have to be so obtuse? Why couldn't this have been something simple like HMK'S 'take it easy' or something?)<br /><br />15.) What should I do with my life?<br />Scott Matthew - Be Human<br />(...Way ahead of you.)<br /><br />16.) Will I ever have children?<br />Mute Math - Spotlight (Twilight Mix)<br />(Well, at any rate I guess I need to come out of the closet and admit that I actually own the <i>Twilight</i> soundtrack...)<br /><br />17.) What is some good advice?<br />Megumi Nakajima - Ao no Ether<br />(Given the context in the show it's from, that's not good advice at all.)<br /><br />18.) What do I think my current theme song is?<br />Kugimiya Rie - Boku wa Koko ni Iru<br />(Not really.)<br /><br />19.) What does everyone else think my current theme song is?<br />Yamaguchi Mayumi - Mirai<br />(XD)<br /><br />20.) What type of men/women do you like?:<br />Scott Matthew - Lithium Flower<br />(OH FUCK YES.)<br /><br />21.) What should I do with my love life?<br />Porno Graffiti - Mienai Yume<br />(I wish I knew what that meant.)<br /><br />23.) Where will you live?<br />Mai Yamane - No One's Home<br />(...o.o)<br /><br />24.) What will your dying words be?<br />M-Flo Loves Alex (Clazziquai Project) - Love Me After 12AM<br />(All righty, then.)<br /><br />D: I never seem to get any fun answers with these...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Because my prices have changed and the other journal was older than dirt anyway. Note me if interested - serious inquiries only.<br /><br />A * by an option means that you'll probably have to wait a day or two for me to put together an estimate.<br /><br />---------------<br /><b><u>Art</u></b><br /><br />Humanoid characters only, please! Here are my prices in USD:<br /><br /><b>Digital:</b> (Examples - <a href="http://hakojo.deviantart.com/art/Morning-Run-138497237">[link]</a> , <a href="http://hakojo.deviantart.com/art/Lith-129757931">[link]</a>)<br /><br /><u>Single character portrait</u>: $6.00 (a portrait of the character from the chest up)<br /><u>Full length drawing, per character in the picture</u>: $10.00 (includes the character's whole body - any character drawn past the chest will be charged as full body)<br /><u>Add a background</u>: $8.00<br /><br /><b>Real Media (colored pencils or graphite):</b> (Examples - <a href="http://hakojo.deviantart.com/art/Sweet-Dreams-103011424">[link]</a> , <a href="http://hakojo.deviantart.com/art/Dragonfly-102753727">[link]</a>)<br /><br /><u>Single character portrait</u>: $7.00<br /><u>Full length drawing, per character in the picture</u>: $11.00<br /><u>Add a background</u>: $10.00<br /><br /><b>Oil Paintings:</b>*<br /><br />Price on request, depending on size of canvas desired and subject matter. Shipping will be included in the estimate. Tends to be a crapton more expensive than my drawings just because of the cost of materials. Just so you know.<br /><br /><br />I can also ship hard copies of your order for an additional postage fee and for the cost of printing if it's digital. If you'd like a hard copy of your digital order, let me know what size you want in your initial order so I can scale it appropriately. I can do anything from wallet-size to poster-size and beyond, although the bigger the order the more you'll have to pay in printing and shipping.<br /><br />Real media hard copies will just be the original drawing out of my sketchbook, shipped in a flat envelope. Postage is usually less than $1.00.<br /><br />I will draw up a rough draft when I receive your order and then send it back to you. If you want anything changed or fixed, let me know and I'll take care of it. When the draft is to your liking, send me the payment and I'll start working on the finished product.<br /><br /><b><u>Cosplay</u></b>*<br /><br />Pricing depends on the level of detail of the outfit and the cost of materials. The price of shipping will be included in your estimate. I do not do wigs or props, and I can't do tailored men's costumes because I only have a female dress form.<br /><br />Here's a little guide to what I charge based on how complicated the outfit is:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/shikigamideathglare/sk_yoh0123.jpg">[link]</a> - Simple design, only two colors. 1 zipper, some elastic. <b>Price: $60.00</b><br /><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/shikigamideathglare/0000xy59.jpg">[link]</a> - More complex design, requires tailoring and some specialty fabrics. Tons of involved beading and embroidery. <b>Price: $170.00</b><br /><br /><a href="http://hakojo.deviantart.com/art/China-Doll-107306748">[link]</a> - Extremely complex applique and shape. Made me want to tear my hair out. <b>Price: $260.00</b><br /><br /><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k174/shikigamideathglare/Forte_Stollen.jpg">[link]</a> - Three separate pieces (dress, hat, coat). Complex applique and tailoring required. <b>Price: $380.00</b><br /><br />Please enclose your measurements (<a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.noubikko.com/noubikko-body/tips_wedding/measuring_images/instruction.htm">here's</a> a good guide on how to do that) and as many reference pictures as possible in your order, plus the date by which you need the costume. I do original designs as well as anime and movie costumes. Feel free to ask me for a status report any time you like, and I'll send you a picture and let you know how it's going.<br /><br /><b><u>Plushies</u></b>*<br /><br />Again, the price depends on what you want and how complicated it is. All of my plushes are stuffed with poly-fil, weighted with rice, and have wire armatures inside for poseable arms.<br /><br />For example, I'd charge maybe $25.00 (shipping included) for <a href="http://hakojo.deviantart.com/art/Ku-kuru-ku-106234971">Kororo</a>: she's fairly small and just made of felt, although her outfit is a bit fiddly. On the other hand, I have a Briareos plushie in the works that I'd probably charge about $40.00 for - he's larger and made of higher quality fabric, plus he has button eyes and buttons are expensive.<br /><br />Send as many refs as possible with your order, and again, I do original designs.<br />---------------<br /><br /> I only take PayPal, so... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I may as well just change "journal" to "place where I post pointless character quizzes when I'm bored". Because I am bored. And watching the second series of The Office (BBC version, of course) has depressed me. At least we'll put on the Christmas special tomorrow to cheer ourselves up again; it always makes my mom cry from happiness.<br /><br />Anyway:<br /><br /><b><u>Who is:</u></b><br /><b>Your loudest character?</b><br />Blue Sky. Speaking and shouting are one and the same for her.<br /><br /><b>Your shyest?</b><br />Mei, for sure. Rachael is a close second, but she's very outgoing and curious when she's in character as Athene. Mei is always shy <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" /><br /><br /><b>Your angriest?</b><br />Oh jeez. Toss-up between Mayura and Gabriel, though they're both angry for roughly the same reasons, mainly government interference in their lives. I feel like I should mention Xubao as well, although she hasn't lived nearly long enough to get as angry as the other two. Still, for an eight-year-old, she's pretty angry.<br /><br /><b>Your horniest?</b><br />Ahehe, that'd be Enka #^_^#<br /><br /><b>Your poorest?</b><br />Blue Sky. Sure, she owns a spaceship, but she lives in a universe where spaceships are pretty much disposable. Although maybe it should be Lee and Matt, since they don't actually own anything - they're like adult wards of the state.<br /><br /><b>Your richest?</b><br />Luke, since he stays comfortably wealthy through pretty much his whole life. Although I tend to write about people who are down on their luck or who eschew material goods, so he doesn't have much competition.<br /><br /><b>Your craziest?</b><br />DEFINITELY Blue Sky.<br /><br /><b>Your weirdest?</b><br />Hmm...Probably Mei. Even as an adult she has several odd behavioral habits from when she was growing up that she's never really been able to get over. All of my characters are a bit weird, though.<br /><br /><b><u>Who was:</u></b><br /><b>Your first character?</b><br />My first character who's still in use is Yin, although she's changed a lot over the years. She started out as an old, blind, retired assassin who referred to herself in the third person. Next she became a girl in some fantasy village (they're always villages, aren't they?) who was the love interest of a guy called Ayuma who I'd imported from another story that sucked. Then she was a whiny teenage girl in our world and Ayuma was the dragon next door. I kind of kept them as lovers for a while, changing the setting - Yin went back to being a village girl, but she became a dragon too. Then I forgot about her for a while. Now she's Ayuma's twin sister because I wanted to write a good brother/sister relationship, and I think I'm going to keep her that way because she fills the role nicely.<br /><br />I'm not going to share my very first character ever because she was such a Mary-Sue that it's unspeakably humiliating <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" /><br /><br /><b>Your most recent character?</b><br />Up until very, very recently it was Matt and Lee, but I've just now thought of Prince Arya and his faithful guard Anu, so they've lost the title.<br /><br /><br /><b><u>List three of your characters and three traits they possess:</u></b><br /><b>Mei</b><br />Stoic<br />Loyal<br />Proud<br /><br /><b>Luke</b><br />Supportive<br />Loving<br />Patient<br /><br /><b>Matt</b><br />Insecure<br />Feisty<br />Stubborn<br /><br /><b>Out of all of your characters, whom are you most like?</b><br />That's really hard. I usually don't write characters as myself in an exciting location - I have author avatar hako for that. If I had to pick, though, I would say I'm most like a combination of Mei and Matt. Matt because she's veiled and introspective yet not flat out depressing, and Mei because she's very dependent and willing to just let life carry her along.<br /><br /><b><u>Do any of your characters have pairings? If so, then list a song for three pairings that fits.</u></b><br /><br /><b>Luke x Mei</b><br /><i>The Garden of Everything</i> - Sakamoto Ma'aya and Steve Conte (Although this song is more Luke's side of the relationship - I think Mei's side of it is better reperesented by <i>Here</i>, also by Sakamoto Ma'aya. They're complicated <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" />)<br /><br /><b>Matt x Lee</b><br /><i>Twilight</i> - boa<br /><br /><b>Ayuma x Enka</b><br /><i>Kodou ~Get Closer~</i> - Psychic Lover<br /><br />Ah, jeez, now I'm remembering exactly how many OCs I haven't devoted even one whit of attention to on dA - maybe I'll just list everyone out and then draw them for y'all.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ...You immediately wander over to the sunglass section of every store you enter to see if they have anything remotely similar to those 80's-riffic purple ones that Motoko has.<br /><br />No luck so far. I have <a href="http://shop.80spurple.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=1540">these</a> and <a href="http://www.sunglasswarehouse.com/swshsust5.html">these</a> bookmarked just in case, although neither of them are *exactly* what I want. Ah well.<br /><br />Motoko's not going to be for another year or so anyway - my next cosplay project will be four different outfits for Deunan Knute, and I'll pretend to be her for an entire con ^_^. I'm doing her body armor (first movie), that awesomely horrible orange and black ensemble (also first movie), and then her cycle outfit and that...thing she wore to Hitomi's party in Ex Machina. Prada my ass - I could make that easily. It's like they asked for clothing designs but had to go with the low rent crap because they couldn't afford something that actually looked cool. The most expensive part of the whole deal will probably be the shoes.<br /><br />I look forward to torturing people with my fuzzy elbows as well ^_^<br /><br />Oh yeah, work on the comic is coming along nicely. I've almost finished sketching it out, and after that I just have to do the lineart and text. Hopefully you'll all enjoy it. I'm thinking of calling it 'Alternate Universe', but that's subject to change.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Post these rules.<br />2. Each person tagged must post 8 random facts about themselves<br />3. Tags should write a journal/ blog of these facts<br />4. At the end of the post 8 more persons are tagged and named<br />5. Go to their page and leave a comment telling them they're tagged<br /><br />My random facts:<br /><br />1. I used to be a blonde, but my hair has gotten considerably darker over the years and is now a mousy sort of brown. Or at least I think it is; I'm not really sure what my natural hair color is anymore XD<br /><br />2. Even though I'm only either one eigth or one sixteenth Korean (can't remember), I still managed to have a Korean last name. I'm extremely happy about this because I can pretend that I'm distantly related to Paku Romi.<br /><br />3. I have this weird fetish for computers and people being plugged into them via cables of various weights and sizes. I think it would be the coolest thing ever to take the port ends of a few serial cables and get them implanted in the back of my neck, but I'm far too squeamish to do so.<br /><br />4. I would, however, like to get Motoko Kusanagi's cyberbrain plug-holes-place-where-cords-go things tattooed on my neck someday. For cosplay purposes, among other things.<br /><br />5. I have insanely good luck, like things always happen to work out in my favor.<br /><br />6. Even though the vast majority of fictional characters I crush on are women, I'm 100% straight.<br /><br />7. I'm a hopelessly realistic romantic; I hate most romance movies/anime/novels/whatever because the relationships seem to happen so suddenly and with little grounding in actual events; I prefer stories where I get to see the couple grow together slowly and reenforce their bond through meaningful conversation instead of just falling in love at first sight.<br /><br />8. When I die, I want to be uploaded to the internet. I just pray that by the time I expire someone will have invented the technology that enables me to do so. <br /><br />I'd tag people, but....I don't know anyone, so if you'd like to steal this and consider it a  tag, go right ahead.<br /><br />-----------------<br /><a href="http://hakojo.deviantart.com/journal/16496978/">Commissions</a><br /><a href="http://hakojo.deviantart.com/journal/16225858/">14 Songs Project</a><br /><a href="http://hakojo.deviantart.com/art/Irasshai-61425711">100 Themes</a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ In addition to my <a href="http://hakojo.deviantart.com/journal/16496978/">commission information</a> here, I'd also like to add that I make custom computer cases too. The price depends on what you want; cost of materials + a 15-20% service fee. For those of you wondering exactly what this entails, I'll offer <a href="http://hakojo.deviantart.com/art/Building-the-Cyber-Bird-Day-6-63666302">Gabby</a> as an example, but I can do a lot more than stencils. If you have an idea for a case and you're interested in commissioning it, please let me know and I'll see what I can work out ^_^<br /><br />NOTE: I WILL NOT work on cases that have parts in them! This would involve you shipping your entire computer to me, which would be both expensive and risky, and if spraypaint is involved there's always a chance that some could get in the case and severely mess things up! Either empty the thing before asking me to paint it (or whatever), or I'll order you a new one and you can fill it with the components of your choice.<br /><br />And now, because I haven't updated my journal in forever and I feel like a bit of fun, the movie quotes quiz game that everyone seems to be doing!<br /><br />Rules:<br />- Pick 10 of your favourite movies.<br />- Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.<br />- Post them here for everyone to guess.<br />- Fill in the film title once it's guessed.<br />- NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions<br /><br />-1.-<br />"What's going on here?"<br />"Something you wouldn't recognize, it's called love."<br /><b>-Spirited Away</b><br /><br />-2.-<br />"This is why I got into this business. To help animals."<br /><br />-3.-<br />"I'm going to clap my paws together and pray that you're joking."<br /><br />-4.-<br />"Everyone and their mums is packing 'round here."<br />"Like who?"<br />"Farmers."<br />"And who else?"<br />"...Farmers' mums."<br /><br />-5.-<br />"I see that your eyes are filled with hate, number 41. That's good. Hate keeps a man alive."<br /><br />-6.-<br />"I made friends with a whole table of rastafarii! Not just one, a whole table!"<br /><b>-Never Been Kissed</b><br /><br />-7.-<br />"Humans are cowards in the face of happiness. It takes courage to hold on to happiness."<br /><br />-8.-<br />"You had me at blood and semen."<br /><b>-Dodgeball</b><br /><br />-9.-<br />"A bird may love a fish, senore, but where would they live?"<br /><b>-Ever After</b><br /><br />-10.-<br />"They've achieved gravity control through high-frequency oscillation???"<br /><b>-Appleseed</b><br /><br />So yeah, have fun with that <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":p" title=":p (Lick)" /><br />--------------------<br /><br /><a href="http://hakojo.deviantart.com/journal/16225858/">14 Songs Project</a><br /><a href="http://hakojo.deviantart.com/art/Irasshai-61425711">100 Themes</a><br />Club: <a href="http://dennou-coil.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/e/dennou-coil.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icondennou-coil:" title="dennou-coil"/></a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <u>Commission info:</u><br /><br /><u>Prices:</u><br /><b>Per character:</b> $5 (USD)<br /><b>Background:</b> $6 (USD)<br /><br />Shipping is not included if you want a physical copy of your order.<br /><br /><b>UPDATE</b><br />I'm now also offering custom computer cases! These can be totally freeform, from stencils to murals to sculpture actually on the case - right now I'm making a case for my brother with a model of Sonic, Tails, and Angel Island on it. All I ask is a good description (a rough sketch would be lovely too, but not necessary) of whatever funkiness you want on your box, and I'll see what I can do. Estimates are on request, since the price will cover the cost of materials and shipping plus my service charge. I'll also order a brand new box for you if you so desire.<br /><br />I'll be taking payments through PayPal, and orders via note. Request digital (Photoshop) or real media (colored pencils), or just leave it up to me. If you'd like a hard copy of your request, just e-mail me with your name and address and I'll drop it in the mail. If you asked for real media you'll be getting the original copy right out of my sketchbook, and if you asked for digital you'll get a nice 8x10 glossy. If you're requesting a digital work and you want it to be bigger (say, poster sized) please let me know in your initial note, because larger images have to be handled differently from the beginning. Keep in mind that the cost of printing and such for bigger pieces will factor into the price.<br /><br />Also, watch this space, because I'll be putting up some of my paintings for sale as well. All of the paintings are done on canvas in oil paint, and I have no idea what they'll be of just yet; probably a few original characters. The prices on them will range from $40 (smaller canvas - 18"x 22") to $75 (big canvas - 24"x36"), not including shipping. They'll also be unframed, so you can hang them as-is or get a neat frame to match your style. I'll post a preview of each one when it's available, as well as the dimensions and cost, and whoever wants it can note me, first come first serve.<br /><br />All right, so you've read through all that and you've decided you want to commission me. Here are a few rules to keep in mind:<br /><br />1. I have the right to refuse any order at any time for whatever silly reason I can think of, although I doubt that'll be an issue.<br /><br />2. Once I recieve your order, I'll do a sketch and send it to you to make sure the pose and details are all right; you can request changes or additions at this point. Once the image is satisfactory, I'll color it after receiving payment. You can expect the image to be finished in 1-2 weeks (or sooner), and you may cancel your order at any time.<br /><br />3. I will not accept orders for pornographic, racist, vulgar, or graphically violent images. Basically, if it wouldn't be allowed on dA, don't ask me to draw it.<br /><br />4. No fanart orders, please. Original characters only!<br /><br />5. This is really more of a guideline than an absolute rule (yarr!), but I'll say up front that I'm not great with anthro art and even worse with animals. Still, if you're willing to accept that and pay me anyway, I'll try it.<br /><br />6. If you're ordering a computer case from me, please note that I won't work on anything with parts in it (other than fans and any sort of equipment that's in there off the shelf). Therefore, if you'd like me to paint an existing case, take the parts out of it first. Just note that you're still responsible for it until it gets to me.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ People are paying enough attention to me now that I actually have an excuse to do FAQs! I don't know whether to be proud or irritated!<br />
<br />
<b>Q: Will you show me how to color hair/skin/shoes/everything?</b><br />
A: Because I'm a lazy person, I'm still working on a tutorial for all that stuff (I should have a short video up soon with a kind of overview, and then I'll post a more in-depth tutorial on dA). Please be patient with me! If it's colored pencils you want help with, I did a simple tutorial a while ago which can be found here: <a href="http://hakojo.deviantart.com/art/Colored-Pencil-Tutorial-48742641">[link]</a><br />
<br />
<b>Q: Will you draw ______ for me?</b><br />
A: Sadly, I won't have time for requests for another month or so, what with school and my own projects. This doesn't mean I don't like you or anything, but I don't want to say I'll do something, forget about it, and then end up not doing it, or rushing it because I feel like I have to get it done.<br />
<br />
Also on the subjects of requests, here are some guidelines ahead of time:<br />
1. I'll draw nudity, but not porn.<br />
<br />
2. It's easier for me to draw characters that I'm familiar with, so if you don't see someone in my gallery and you want me to draw a picture of them, please provide reference pictures.<br />
<br />
3.<b>*Important* My OTPs:</b><br />
-Yoh x Anna (Shaman King)<br />
-Ren x Horo (Shaman King)<br />
-Hao x Envy (The insane recesses of my mind)<br />
-Roy x Riza (Fullmetal Alchemist)<br />
-Ranpha x Forte (Galaxy Angel)<br />
<br />
If you don't see a pairing on this list, don't request it, because I won't do it. Once again, it's not because I hate you or anything or I think you're sick, but I want to be able to put as much effort into my art as possible, and that can't happen if I'm drawing something I don't agree with or I don't know anything about. If it's something that doesn't conflict with any of the above pairings, you can note me about it and ask, but unless I'm at least familar with the characters, expect a no.<br />
<br />
Also, I don't do incest, and Jun-san does not get paired with anyone, ever.<br />
<br />
<b>Q: Hao x Envy....WTF???</b><br />
A: Ahehehe....That pairing has a long and rich history, which I won't go into details on because it would take a lot of explaining. In short, Hao x Envy was spawned from my roleplay, spent some time as an inside joke, and went from there. I started drawing them because they're just so cute together, what with their mutual hate for humanity and their sexual ambiguity. Come on, Hao's gotta be bi (hitting on Ren and Anna in the same episode), so who better to stick him with that something that can change from a guy to a girl depending on his mood?<br />
<br />
<b>Q: Will you look at my art?</b><br />
A: If you comment anywhere in my gallery or on my profile, I will certainly look through your gallery. Even if I don't comment on anything, I make it a point to at least look at the galleries of everyone who comments or favs my art.<br />
<br />
<b>Q: What does 'hakojo' mean?</b><br />
A: The literal translation is 'box woman' (hako = box, jo = woman), but a more poetic translation would be 'woman who has led a confined life'. It's the title of a Paku Romi song which means a great deal to me (on top of being an awesome song), so I decided to make it my 'net handle. But you can call me hako <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /><br />
<br />
I think that's about it. Remember, people....If you fav, please comment! Comments make hako less murderous!<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Since three people did massfavs on my art today and all of them had this up, I think this is a sign from Paku-sama that I should do it too. Plus I'm bored.<br />
<br />
1. Who is your favorite Shaman King (or Funbari no Uta) character(s)?<br />
Jun-sama <3<br />

Ren x Horo, baby! w00t!<br />
<br />
4. Ever cosplayed SK characters? If so, who, where and how many times?<br />
I cosplayed Anna once for Halloween dress-up day at school, and I've got a Jun cosplay in the works. I also intend to do Yoh's battle outfit someday, 'cause it rocks.<br />
<br />
5. List your collection of SK junk and merchandise, if any<br />
Manga 1-10 and a ton of homemade posters, plus my Anna cosplay and bear talon necklace.<br />

6. Have you ever felt that you were destined to be with a SK character? If so who?<br />
My Jun-sama.....If only she were into girls -_-<br />
<br />

<br />
8. HoroxRen or HaoxYoh?<br />
Ren x Horo. I don't do incest >.<<br />
<br />
9. Which team is your favourite?<br />
Hoshigumi, probably. Hao's pants are just so damn cool.<br />
<br />
10. Do you know who are Redseb and Seyrarm?<br />
Yup.<br />
<br />
11. Do you think that Pino a considerable competition for HoroHoro?<br />
I guess. I don't really like Pino all that much, though >.> Whiner.<br />
<br />
12. Your favourite X-LAWs member?<br />
To kill? Lyserg! Oh, wait, that wasn't the question....<br />
<br />
13. Are you pro-Hao or anti-Hao?<br />
Pro-Hao! He's nuts, but his dress sense owns me <3<br />
<br />
14. Have you seen all Shaman King episodes so far? (including the Omake and the OVAs)<br />
Yes.<br />
<br />
15. Have you read all the chapters so far?<br />
I'm getting there.<br />
<br />
16. Who is your favorite Hao's follower?<br />
Kanna is pretty cool, and so was Ashiru.<br />
<br />
17. Sub or dub?<br />
Anyone who says dub on this question is NOT an SK fan. -shiver-<br />
<br />
18. Pro-Anna or Anti-Anna?<br />
Pro-Anna. I can't help but feel sorry for her, she's really pretty (in an 'I'll bite your head off' sort of way), and she looks so darn cute in that school uniform.<br />
<br />
19. What do you thing of Hao's ideals?<br />
He's nucking futs.<br />
<br />
20. Chocolove = annoying or funny?<br />

<br />
21. Ryu= sexy or ugly?<br />
Beyond ugly. >.><br />
<br />

Nope. I've yet to see one that's halfway decent.<br />
<br />
26. Do you write SK fanfics?<br />
I used to write so much NC-17 Yoh x Anna fanfiction that I needed an external device for it (this was on my old computer with the <1GB hard drive). Then I turned 13 and deleted it all because it sucked. The only one I've written since is Wild Orchid, of which I am rather proud.<br />
<br />
27. Have you read any SK doujinshi?<br />
A couple Ren x Horo, but I generally don't like the OOC-ness of the characters.<br />
<br />
28. Do your parents know any Shaman King characters?<br />
My mom does, since I have posters all over my wall and my Jun art project has become worth school credit.<br />
<br />
29. Do you know (almost) every SK characters' birthday?<br />
Yep.<br />
<br />
30. Have you read The Shaman King ultimate news about manga?<br />
YES!<br />
<br />

At least one person, and I've got several others to at least start it ^^<br />
<br />
32. Have you ever been drawing SK in school and have someone randomly say "WOAH! you like SK too!?"<br />
Many times.<br />
<br />
33. Have you ever been in class drawing SK and the teacher comes up to you and says "wtf is this?"<br />
Yup. Whenever I'd start drawing Jun in my Geometry class, all the guys would come watch, and then the teacher would come over for a look.<br />
<br />
34. Has SK affected your school life and grades?<br />
I don't think so....I did a couple of SK themed art and Latin projects, but that's it.<br />
<br />
35. Are you broke thanks to SK?<br />
I will be once I catch up on the manga and if the whole series is ever available on DVD.<br />
<br />
36. Do you want to read the ManJiEn (Manta's encyclopedia)?<br />
Oh God yes x3<br />
<br />
38. Do you draw SK fanart? If so, count how many there is in your gallery.<br />
I don't really draw much else <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":p" title=":p (Lick)" /> -counts- 41 at the moment, counting all the Hao x Envy stuff.<br... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ...Actually, more like 'give hako an idea for something to paint on her wall'.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I recently cleared off a huge blank space on my wall because I want to paint something there. Unfortunately, I have no idea what to paint. So if you would like to suggest something, go ahead and do so here. If I use your idea, you get a $25,000 shopping spree, a see-through kayak, a toaster, and a trip to Disneyland.<br />
<br />
....Well, not really.<br />
<br />
BTW, for an idea of the space I have available, it's about the height and twice the width of my Jun mural, which can be found here: <a href="http://hakojo.deviantart.com/art/Wall-sized-Jun-chan-46319787">[link]</a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, not farewell yet. More like in a couple months.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
....You all think I'm leaving, don't you?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
....Well, I'm not. I've just decided to replace my 7-year-old Dell, Megumi, and build a new system. It'll take me a few months to save up the money, but it's substantially less expensive than buying a factory-built rig. At first I was just going to upgrade Me-chan (new processor, more RAM, etc.) but then I figured out that I may as well just start over. To be sure, there's some stuff I can salvage; the DVD-ROM drive, the floppy drive, the monitor, and I'm keeping the hard drive for extra storage, but everything else will be brand new.<br />
<br />
And boy, I'm going all out with this thing. 87 GB hard drive, maximum of 8 GB of RAM (I'm starting with 2 GB; I'll add more as necessary), 2 GHz processor, and some bitchin' sound and graphics, plus built-in wireless. I'm also thinking of buying a surround sound speaker system for movies and such, or even just day-to-day annoying my mom with J-pop. The motherboard I'm looking at has plenty of room to expand, should I decide to become a gamer, and get this; 4 USB ports!!! No more unhitching something because I want to plug something else in! No more choosing between the scanner and the external hard drive!<br />
<br />
So yeah, pretty excited about this. Now I need a name....<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ My faithful watchers, I have a challenge for you.<br />
<br />
I'm going to be off the internet for a while as I have a veritable avalanche of schoolwork. I may pop on and comment from time to time, but don't expect any new stuff for a while, at least not until June. Anyway, while my gallery is in stasis, let's see if we can get it up to 1000 PVs by the time I return.<br />
<br />
So there's your challenge; pimp my dA as much as is humanly possible. I'm not asking for, like banner ads all over everything, but if y'all could just mention me to, oh, say, everyone you know, that would be really nice of you. -hugs-<br />
<br />
After all, it's only 400 PVs in the space of a month and a half.<br />
<br />
--------------------<br />
<br />
Meme thing stolen from Ry 'cause imitation is the greatest form of flattery.<br />
<br />
1. Give me a nickname and explain why you picked it.<br />
2. Am I lovable?<br />
3. How long have you known me?<br />
4. When and how did we first meet?<br />
5. What was your first impression?<br />
6. Do you still think that way about me now?<br />
7. What do you think my weakness is?<br />
8. Do you think I'll get married?<br />
9. What makes me happy?<br />
10. What makes me sad?<br />
11. What reminds you of me?<br />
12. If you could give me anything what would it be?<br />
13. How well do you know me?<br />
14. When's the last time you saw me?<br />
15. Ever wanted to tell me something but couldn't?<br />
16. Do you think I could kill someone?<br />
17. Describe me in one word.<br />
18. Do you think our friendship is getting stronger/weaker/or staying the same?<br />
19. Do you feel that you could talk to me about anything and I would listen?<br />
20. Are you going to put this on your journal and see what I say about you?<br />
<br />
Oh, and while I'm thinking about it, if I started a Hao x Envy club, would anyone be interested in joining and/or spreading the word?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I found this thing on last.fm where you shuffle your music and then match the songs in order with the categories on the list, and it's what the soundtrack would be if your life was a movie. Anyway, I'm bored:<br />
------------------------<br />
<br />
Opening Credits: Good! - Paku Romi/Kugimiya Rie/Toyoguchi Megumi/Ookawa Toru/Fujiwara Keiji (Whee, hyper!)<br />
<br />

<br />
An Ordinary Day: Hoshizora - L'arc-en-Ciel (...Okay)<br />
<br />
The First Date: Tank! - Seatbelts (What the hell kind of date am I going on? x3)<br />
<br />
Falling in Love: Voices - Akino Arai (....-blink-)<br />
<br />
The Rumble: Hare Hare Yukai - Hirano Aya/Goto Yuko/Chihara Minoru (ROFLMAO XD)<br />
<br />
The Break-up: Chocobo Robo Voice - Joe Redifer (What the heck kind of twisted movie is this?)<br />
<br />
Getting Back Together: Daichi no La-Li-La - Oranges and Lemons<br />
<br />
Life's Okay: Houkiboshi - Youhna (Finally, something that makes sense >.&gt<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /><br />
<br />
The Mental Breakdown: This Light I See - Paku Romi (....)<br />
<br />
Cruising: Run All The Way! - Hayashibara Megumi <br />
<br />
The Flashback: Call Me Call Me - Steve Conte (I guess that makes a little sense...)<br />
<br />
The Party: Shounen Heart - Home Made Kazoku (w00t!)<br />
<br />
Everybody Dance Now: A Little Pain - Olivia (Yay for slow dancing!)<br />
<br />
Sex Scene: Mizu no Madoromi - Origa (....Uh....)<br />
<br />
Regretting: Echoes - Kajiura Yuki<br />
<br />
The Long Night Alone: Lost Heaven - L'arc-en-Ciel (Sorta weird, but I love the song!)<br />
<br />
A Death: Meimu - Paku Romi (Seriously, who the hell came up with this soundtrack???)<br />
<br />
End Credits: True Name - Paku Romi (-sigh- Well, I suppose it's like my life in that there's lots of Paku music.)<br />
------------------------<br />
<br />
So there you have it. For the sake of the world, please, please don't make my life into a movie.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ For those of you who can't be bothered to look at my profile or click on things within it, I have a webcomic.<br />
<br />

<br />
Go check it out if you have a few minutes to spare! There's only, like, five episodes up, but I'll be updating on Saturdays from now on (hopefully).<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Someone e-mailed me saying they'd seen the signature A.C.N.Y.A. around in other places on the internet, and why the heck did I have it on art I said was mine if I have other things signed as hakojo and my name is Anna Park. I thought I'd just explain it here instead of having to say the same thing over and over.<br />
<br />
A.C.N.Y.A. is my ancient online pseudonym that I used for RPing, signing up for stuff, and marking my art. It stands for Amethyst Cosmo Nakahashu Ywan Asakura. When I decided to start using a more professional (read: less stupid) name online, I began signing things as hakojo and using my real name.<br />
<br />
So there. I'm not an art thief or anything, this is legitimately my work^^<br /><br /> ]]></description>
