THINGS I NEED TO DO THIS FOLLOWING SCHOOL YEAR. Not in an particular order of course.
1. Draw more or at least find more time to draw.
2. Do better in school this year than I did last year.
3. Be more social and make more friends!
4. Keep in touch with old friends better, make more of an effort.
5. Try to eat better during school year, no more of this one meal a day shit.
6. Keep up the motivation to do kung fu more often, as in regularly.
7. Learn not to procrastinate.

That is all.

But yeah. Guess I'm going to start drawing again? I have a few paintings lying around that I need to finish... But then again. What happened to my motivation? I don't know. I hope I find it again soon. I find it so hard to start new things lately. I really do.

And there are still so many things I need to get better at.
Better posing.
Better lighting/shading.
Better color theory.
Creativity in general...

But yeah. College. It really takes up a lot of my life. And summer.. I've just been trying to enjoy myself. I kind of don't remember what I used to do before college. It's strange.
Like a brainwashing. Oh well. Here's to hoping I finish something this week...

I know I don't have much time as before to draw. And when I do draw, it's the same mess over and over.

So, I'm going to make a small list of things to work on. So when I do draw. I have something to focus on. Heh.

1. More expressions.
2. Better anatomy.
3. Better ideas in general.
4. Works with meaning.
5. More realistic.

Tough order huh?

Ah well.
Between reading and homework, it's not like there's much time to work on art anyways.

Wish me luck!
I wish you all well.

This is the end.

NOT.

But yeah, you know what I mean.
Less art.
I hope I don't forget how to draw.

This is a sad day in my life.
The first day of classes in college.

I shall have no life.

Fare-the-well for now.

I shall go make some microwaveable pasta.

I'm so angry at myself. 6 freaking years, and this is all the skill I have to show for myself. I'm SO MAD. Yeah, I guess it's no use to bitch or moan about it, but I really wish I could improve faster or have the will to keep drawing. I've been so SLOW and lazy.. but only because everything I draw turns out SO TERRIBLE. >.>

And I guess hitting 18 just makes it feel all the worse because I'm an adult now, and there's no way I draw at a skill level worthy of an adult. T_T

Blah, I'm just ranting and being cranky. Of course words mean nothing, only action and practice do.. but what do you do then when that doesn't work? Or doesn't work as well anyways? Blah.

I'm in such a rut. Seriously. I don't have inspiration, I'm not inspired to draw anything. I just DON'T WANT TO. Well, I'll finish what few commissions I have. But I'm seriously considering a long break. Not that I haven't already though. >.> I mean, I haven't been posting on deviantart much. But that's only because there's nothing I've done that's worth posting. It all looks the same. Boring boring boring. God, I suck. Not creative, not unique, it all looks the same. T_T Yet, why when I try to do something different, I can't?

Bah. Yeah, I need to take a break.
But why during the summer? When I actually have time to draw?

Bah.

I'm never doing again.
Never.
Dressing as Sakura was fun.
Time-skipped of course.

I still have some bookmarks left.
I think they make really nice gifts.
I'm going to give them away.

I bought a lot of stuff.
Covered all my costs of print-making.
Met many nice people.
Hung out with nice people.
Hung out with MANY of my friends. So to speak.
And about 3 Justins. XD

Sang Karaoke as Nana.
That everyone loved.
Never got so many people asking me why I didn't do AX idol.
I loved cosplaying as Nana.
People told me I made a great Nana.
"OMG, she's like the real Nana!" XD
But really. I think they overexaggerate.

That's more than enough for me. XD ]]> ~ish-nim http://ish-nim.deviantart.com/journal/13056096/ http://ish-nim.deviantart.com/journal/13056096/ Tue, 22 May 2007 20:22:01 PDT And I feel like I made so little progress in my art...

I think I need to stop doing fanart sometime.. and just try and create works with actual meaning to them. Like the stuff I do in art class.
Go figure.

Ehh.. so I'm very unsatisfied at this point in life.
And AX is just coming ever closer~

Gah, will I ever finish? D:

]]> ~ish-nim http://ish-nim.deviantart.com/journal/12403777/ http://ish-nim.deviantart.com/journal/12403777/ Sat, 31 Mar 2007 15:05:59 PDT I guess I've been quiet for too long. I've not been arting lately again, due to being busy.. getting involved with stupid things and generally trying to have fun with friends I probably won't see for a long time after the summer is over.

College results came back.
And now I have to make some decisions. I got into some really nice schools.. and now I don't know where to go.

I don't know what to do. I am lost.

Anyways, I'm falling behind my AX things to do.. but I'll get them done eventually.

]]> ~ish-nim http://ish-nim.deviantart.com/journal/11873233/ http://ish-nim.deviantart.com/journal/11873233/ Sun, 18 Feb 2007 19:48:46 PST
*ahem*
So, why has it been so quiet from me since January?
ART BLOCK. T_T

Uh yeah. I've been trying so hard to draw or finish something again. But I can't. T_T Argh, now my AX prints are going to build up like crazy. I can't even sketch now. And I sketch daily. I can't even finish a Naruto thing I've been working on since... January. Oh ho ho ho, the month I went into my block. Gah.

BUT OTHER NEWS...
NARUTO SHIPPUUDEN! XD I LOVE IT. But I really wish that Sakura's skirt and elbow things were that canvas color I thought they were. They're such a weird.. pink/purpley color. T_T And her gloves and shin guards... why aren't they black?! They're a weird purple color too.

But but but.
The first 2 episodes were so beautiful.. T_T I've been so Naruto deprived for so long. And the way Sasuke said.. "Sakura ga..." GAH. I love the voice actor's voice.
Maybe it will help me out of this block. Maybe maybe. I hope it does, I do I do.
I did start on a new Sasuke Sakura piece though.. Dx Hopefully I can finish it... Dx

And doujinshi is going to make me go broke.
2 from 10-Rankai (Taiyou no Sumika 1 & 2)
1 from Mononoke Hobakubutai (Supernova)
1 from Raureif (Body Buddy) (KAKUZU AND HIDAN O_O)
2 from Oushou Chikubai (Type Congenial & Jyuunanaya Last Volume)
1 from Honey Canon (Mixture)
1 SasuSaku Anthology (Ougizakura)
1 from Yoko Fujitani (Carnival)

Grah. Kill me. Dx But it's okay, I got $300 of Chinese New Year's money so far. Dx I want some AnikiIchigo doujinshi too.. but.. too much. D8 All of this is already going to be over $200... >.>
Gah.

Make me stooooooooooop. I can't draw, so I spend money??? Dx

Should I start taking commissions? XD

]]> ~ish-nim http://ish-nim.deviantart.com/journal/11454335/ http://ish-nim.deviantart.com/journal/11454335/ Mon, 15 Jan 2007 23:01:11 PST
And then.. on Saturday, the next day.. What do you think happened? I spent the day with my friend and she read me my doujinshi. Of my favorite pairings.. SasuSaku, NaruHina, ZabuHaku, and others. Oh, and RenRuki on the side. SO, I got reobssessed with pairings that day.

AND.. AND.
I spent the rest of the weekend studying and.. watching the Naruto anime for the first time (Japanese of course). While I love the manga so much more.. there is just.. nothing compared to some of the animation and voices. Ugh. Just.. UGH. I'm in love again. So dumb, but I'm in looooove. And the way Sasuke says "Sakura." OMG, so.. GAH. Actually, I just like his voice in general. And it's so typical for everyone to say, "We hate Sasuke.. he's such a jerk, asshole.. *whine whine whine cry cry cry bitch bitch bitch*" Yeah, well, you guys can be like everyone else. While I may not agree with some of his actions or how power-hungry he is, I can feel sorry for him and he's not even one of my favorite characters. Yep. I mean, if you went through childhood where your brother murdered your whole family, you'd be a bright happy little ray of sunshine too.

I could say a lot about the Sakura hating too, but I think I ranted enough. Just one thing: She's actually human and doesn't have any special abilities like Sharingan/Byakugan/bugs living in her/a demon sealed in her. That's why I always liked her, she wasn't like the others, but yet, people hate her for that, all because they think she's useless? It's not really her fault. I mean, we see Hinata in the beginning, she has special abilities, but she can't do much either. Yet everyone loves her, including me. Why is there a difference? Because Sakura likes Sasuke? Sorry, but she's human. And she changes too, like a human does, and becomes kick-ass.

I mean, you guys can be typical and hate her too, what can I do? I mean, the ONLY character I could probably hate is Tenten. What is WITH her voice actor in the anime?! It's annoying. O_O And she doesn't do anything either, so I can't really judge her I guess. O_O

I love Rock Lee. Hands down.

Fangirling aside. This spurred me to work harder on my AX art. xD So I should be very productive in the coming months or so. xD

And after maybe one more Naruto art, I'll definitely start changing it up. xD I plan on doing some art from my other fandoms.. like.. Bleach, FF Advent Children, Nana, Chrono Crusade, FMA Death Note, and maybe Eyeshield21 if I become skilled enough.



Oh, there's more about Anime Expo down here and I've listed my tentative prices. I hope they're reasonable.

Since I hate the fact you have to be subscribed to do anything nice or pretty on these damn journals, I'm here to promote my livejournal, username: Blackwhisker, where I put random sketch art up.. some news of cosplay ideas.. idle rambling, more so than I would do here. SINCE I HATE THE SCRAPS BUG, so I'll put scraps in my journal. x3

So...
[link]
Get to it~ Go ahead and add me as a friend, you don't even have to, I'll have comments up for everyone~

And new avvie too. x3

I finalized a few ideas for prints-to-be at Anime Expo 2008. I'll try and do most of them. Though I doubt I'll have the time for it.

Naruto:
-Anbu Kakashi *in progress*
-New Sasu Saku piece definitely
-Time-skip Gaara
-Haku x3
-Time skip group = Team 7 (with Yamato and Sai) v. the Baddies *in progress*

-Ichigo/Rukia/Orihime/Ishida/Chad team
-RenjiRukia
-Renji and Byakuya (NOT a pairing. xP)

Chrono Crusade:

DeathNote:
-Raito/Light & L
-Light and L bookmarks

Nana
-Nana Oosaki and Nana Komatsu bookmarks

DAMN that's long.

Yep.

Kay.
I thought and though, mulled over it, cogitated, what have you~

I want to make some prints for Anime Expo next year. I want to be in the Artist Alley. x3
Who thinks this is a good idea? Don't think I have enough watchers to get a good idea of this though. I think I'd do it anyways. Just to see how I do~

So.
Prints.
What out of my gallery should be printed? Most likely bookmark or postcard size. I don't I can afford more than that. And my resolution is too small for big prints anyways. Even the child ones can be printed, what I want to know is what YOU guys like, and what you think will sell.

This is how the prices would work out:
Bookmark: $1-2
Postcard: $3
Does that sound fair? I don't think I can overcharge to make a profit because I'm virtually unknown. XD

I'd also want to do MORE cg, in huge sizes so I can get some 8.5 x 11 in. sizes done.
I'm thinking of these series:
Naruto (duh): Team 7, Kakashi, Sasuke, Sakura, Naruto, Hinata, Gaara, Neji, the Sannin, Sai, Sand Siblings (an example of ideas I could do, and groups, singles could be a splash postcard, or a bookmark)
Bleach: Renji and Byakuya, Hitsugaya and Rangiku, Soi Fong and Yoruichi, the first team of Ichigo/Rukia/Orihime/Ishida/Chad/Kon, Kon, RenjiRukia, Yachiru, Yumichika and Ikkyaku
D. Gray-Man: Allen/Kanda/Ravi (for a group of the boys XD), possibly Rinali though I don't like her much, Allen and Tincampi
Chrono Crusade: Chrono (of course XD, splash BISHIE page), Rosette/Chrono/Satella/Azmaria, ChronoRosette, Joshua
Death Note: Raito/Light & L, Raito and Ryuuku, Raito, L (I refuse to do Misa XD)
Nana: Nana Osaki (the punk one), RenNana, Blast, Nana and Hachi, Shoji Hachi (just cuz they're so cute )
Fruits Basket: possibly one of each twelve surrounded by their animal most likely: Kyo, Ayame, Hatsuharu, Momiji, Shigure, Yuki (where're the girls?! XD), Ayame and Yuki, Shigure/Ayame/Hatori
Devil May Cry: Dante, Virgil, Dante & Virgil
Kingdom Hearts or Final Fantasy 10, 10-2, Advent Children: just SOMETHING from this since they're so crazy popular
Full Metal Alchemist: CAN'T BELIEVE I FORGOT THIS. XD
Ed of course, Ed and Al, some of the homunculus~

Yeah, I usually just post Naruto because it's my one true love. But I DO love other series to death as well. This would just be an excuse to force me to do fanart of other series. XD

Should I do commissions at the convention? Sketches and stuff, not finished works obviously.

PLEASE, suggest anything, anything you like, anything you think people will like. I'm open!

I'm so sick and fucking piss-shit over the whole traditional versus digital argument.

That digital art is SOULLESS while traditional art is oh-so-emotional-heartfelt-and-feels-so-so-so-good.

Well I'm sorry if traditional is your effing aphrodisiac or something. BECAUSE I HAPPEN TO LIKE BOTH. BOTH take skill and effort. Ever thought that Digital could just be another medium? It is and always will be. Jesus Christ, I mean, holy crap, people say, "No, digital art isn't real art, it's cheating because you use a computer to make art."

Well, no shit, "I use a pencil to make art."

In fact, you use your... HANDS to make art, digitally and traditionally. Why the hell would it be soul-less?

God, I always ALWAYS get screamed at for doing digital art. It's more like a virtual paint don't you think? Hell, people hated acrylics when it first came out because.. zOMG it was CHEATING if you didn't use oil paints.

WELL, that sounds familiar doesn't it?

AND another thing.

"Holy crap, you have a TABLET, AND PHOTOSHOP 7. Holy piss in the rocks, it takes you 14 hours to complete some artwork? What the hell is wrong with you? You could totally go for the speed angle and get things done so quickly."

"Wow, photoshop and 14 hours, you should try inking your work digitally if it's got those magical layers. Much faster than inking by hand."

WELL, sorry that it takes me a long time to do digital work. And yes, I thank you for saying that spending 14 hours on a work makes it so soulless and not worth any time I put into it. And sorry, I actually USE my hands to draw on the computer.

Digital art was never, and never will be, any easier than using any other medium. EVERYTHING takes skill. YEAH, a tablet will speed me up. But lineart takes me twice to 3 times as long to do on a computer than it does on paper.

But no, people who don't even understand how digital art works assume that there is some magic button on photoshop that will magically ink and color your drawing.

LAWLs.

I'm so angry. JUST SO ANGRY.

Will people just go and TRY something they complain about before they complain about it? AT LEAST base your opinion on experience. Don't force your opinion on me.

ANDDDDDDDDD one last thing.

"Good work. What bothers me about your art is that you say you still notice errors. If you want to do a job, do it all the way through."

Uh, excuse me?
What part of no one is ever satisfied with their work can you not understand? I am SO sick, SO SICK, of hearing this. If I TRY really hard for 14-20 hours just to do a CG, don't you think I tried really hard? Why do people judge me and nitpick over every little damn thing I say? I am just.. SO sick of this. I can spend hours fixing one little damn thing, and still not be satisfied. I can screw up all of my layers, I can screw up a lineart on a piece of paper, but I will still use it and be proud or happy, but.. THERE WILL STILL BE PROBLEMS no matter what. No one understands my reasoning for deciding when a work is finished or not, and unless you can get in my head, don't even talk about, "Doing a job all the way through." I admit that I am not capable of that. Even the best artists out there I see are not capable of that. And to say that only art that the artist is truly satisfied and happy with can be good art, just pisses me off because it shows you cannot understand art and what it means to ALWAYS have flaws in an artwork.

No, don't spare my feelings, give me harsh criticism, but DO NOT attack an artist over their media preference, subject preference, and ESPECIALLY their attitude toward their art. Critique the art, not the attitude. THE ART. When was it ever about someting else? FOCUS on the art. It's like that dumbass mainstream vs. underground shit. JUST ENJOY THE DAMN MUSIC. ENJOY THE DAMN ART. NOW EVERYONE CAN BE HAPPY AND PAINT HAPPY CLOUDS AND SWIRLY SKIES.

Gosh. I really need to chill out, but I needed to get all of that off of my chest. I'm just so tired of all of this shit that so many people, (it's not only happened to me) have to go through.

Last note: Yes, I know I just right now sounded like a complete asshole, but I don't really care. I just wanted to rant. I never said wasn't an asshole. Because I probably am one and a whiny little shit as well. And YES, I take these quotes from real experiences, but I changed them just to show how stupid and ignorant they really sound. THEY ARE NOT REAL. THEY ARE FROM ME, but modified. Not trying to make anyone sound bad. So don't ask me who said those words.

I scrapped 11 things in my gallery.
I really needed to clean it up.
I'll do some more stuff soon.. hopefully.. meh.

YEAH.. and some deviantArt bug..

Yep. It was a birthday today. Now I'm finally 17. I welcome rated R movies. But still, I cannot drink nor can I vote. So I guess between sweet 16 and turning into a true adult at 18.. this is rather disappointing.

I sure don't feel 17. In fact, I still don't feel a shade over 16~

But I sure feel like I gained so much weight lately. Too much.. partying and eating food and going out to eat. Getting burned at the beach.

But the good news: now I don't have to plan something. I'm a terrible planner. But yes, I don't have to plan going out with friends now for awhile. Now, I welcome SATs this Saturday.

And Anime Expo soon.

Wish me luck.
Fisherman's luck.

Woohoo. ]]> ~ish-nim http://ish-nim.deviantart.com/journal/6077001/ http://ish-nim.deviantart.com/journal/6077001/ Sun, 31 Jul 2005 19:33:32 PDT has been fired apparently. And for the better part of the last 2 years I've been part of the site... jark was always there for the site. A site continues to run... without its original cofounders... doesn't make any sense does it? And it seems that.. his leaving of deviantart, is not of his will either. There has been no public announcement and most likely.. there probably won't be. Journals and comments are being deleted for the first time on deviantart.. isn't this supposedly against policy? It says on the FAQ that comments do not have a deletion system so that there won't be abuse on part of that. And in anycase, we all deserve to know why, especially jark.

In anycase, I doubt I can do anything, but at least, jark will have my support.

But the speculations that people have come up with are interesting:

And the link to Jark's mom's journal:

Happy reading and piecing together information folks. I really really hope that it won't come down to Deviantart falling apart and that somehow we can get jark back. I think that, if jark worked so hard to build up this place, that he wouldn't want everyone to just up and leave because of him, but rather we stay on to show our support. Deviantart won't be the same without the Yellow Alien!

August 7th is the 5th birthday of Deviantart. How ironic.

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

A long thing:

Well, back then when I was still... I was your average lowly artist. And I still am. And yet, I remain on this site because of the community and all the fun I had browsing art, doing this, doing that. But I did not sign up to be part of a corporation. I did not sign up to see the original founders of the site gone. I'm not a big part of the site, but seeing as how my art is just in the mediocre stage, and will be for awhile, I will have no where to put up my art, just so I can look at it myself and be happy that it is up on a site somewhere. I don't care for the popularity, maybe back then, on my old account I truly wished to be popular, but I learned something, that it didn't matter because now, I just submit things at my own leisure, I only really keep this account just for watches. And maybe for a random critique here and there from a friend or two. And maybe just so I could show off my mediocre art anyways because there is no other place for it.

And it all boils down to this, the direction that I see the site traveling toward is disturbing. The more I uncover about this whole matter, the more it seems that what people fear may become of this site is true and also seems that when deviantart goes.. "mainstream" many artists that just enjoy the site but are not particulary.. popular nor talented enough, will be weeded out. These new ideas will most likely be implemented on the projected month of September. And this is why deviantart is starting to be disappointing. The original ideal for this site, was to be a free art community and one of the best ones and well known on the net, because of that original freedom factor. And now.. it seems that the freedom will probably disappear along with the community. Deviantart is apparently headed for a downfall and if certain individuals do not hold to the original ideals of the site, I see and inevitable downfall of the Deviantart that we once held so dear to our hearts.

I highly doubt anyone will want to see this sort of thing take place. And because of this, and so many other personal reasons, I doubt anyone will stand aside and let it happen because they will fight. They will fight for what they love and everything that jark worked so hard to create.

Support the community. And no matter how unpopular and small you are, every little counts. Be heard. Submit yellow art on August the 7th. Change your avatar yellow. Fight to bring back what we should always have.

Thanks for reading all that.

In anycase, I got some copic markers to play with! And the workshops were fun, to use their markers.. for free, teehee. And pencil boards too... and pins.. and yaoi doujinshi.

We didn't even karaoke this year. Nor did I cosplay.

Artist alley was great, I recognized soooo many artists!

And I got bored by the 4th day. I'll go 2 only next year. 4th of July sucked.

Now back to my hw. -.-

I think I'm going to make a new ID soon, that tomato is just.. annoying. I want to eat it, and digest it in my digestive tract juices, so that it can end up in the lovely toilet.

Stole this idea from my friend's ~ deuxia-devonair's Journal. This was fun, and gets rid of my last journal entry... thats about a month old. O_o These stats are sucky, but hey, it's all in good fun. ]]> ~ish-nim http://ish-nim.deviantart.com/journal/3907682/ http://ish-nim.deviantart.com/journal/3907682/ Wed, 24 Nov 2004 09:57:04 PST
That's where my buddy buddy comes in! I send her all of my precious files. Yeah, I thought I would die and all if I lost all of my art files and CGs that I spent the better of last year working on.

I can still go online for now, so that's alright. But once the system is wiped, it's going to be hell to install photoshop, opencanvas, winamp, AIM...

Gah, don't think about it. Just DON'T.

I probably won't get to draw this whole 5 day weekend, I've been in a kind of slump. >.>;; No inspiration or ideas, and I really cannot draw when I am sick... it's just... just... ugh. And I can't scan anything now anyway.

And my right ear has been being funny. I can't hear well. D: Oh yeah, and I got a B in Pre Calc just for having a 89.98%. GAWD I hate my teacher.

Man, life just pretty much hit a speed bump right now.

The internet was broken and everything, stupid hackers and routers. I'm finally back on again! Yay! And maybe I can post something pretty soon. I got an obsession for fanart again, but then again, it depends if I will get myself to draw it. Or if I have time. -_-;;

Hellsing and Hanakimi are my latest obsessions!

Markers are my new love!

And maybe... maybe I'll try painting.

And the art festival was fun, painting butterflies, woohoo. Face painting booth volunteer I am! ]]> ~ish-nim http://ish-nim.deviantart.com/journal/3168429/ http://ish-nim.deviantart.com/journal/3168429/ Thu, 19 Aug 2004 21:23:26 PDT
