There's been lots of interest shown this year so the final numbers should be exciting. There's also the Art Galley where artists can display their work whether or not they're in Artists' Alley to give some more recognition to the amazing talent we have all around us. I know I have a bunch of locals on my watchlist so I better see some of you there

Holidays have (mostly) come and gone! I hope all my friends, watchers and random visitors had enjoyable ones. I for one am having a great holiday and I wish it would never end! I've had the last week or so to relax at home with some part-time work shifts and no school so I had lots of time to get client and website work done. I had the opportunities to do a lot of detailed cleaning around the house that I don't usually get the chance to so that was a relief too. Christmas was spent with the family for another fun year of guess-the-contents-of-our-stockings and enjoying some generally good times all the way around!

Santa got me Mario Kart for the Wii so I've been enjoying that as well over the last few days. I don't care much for using the steering wheel but the game itself is entertaining (even if the music stinks!). I really need some human competition though!

*m-t-copyright and I rented the movie Death Race yesterday, a self-proclaimed "man movie". Definitely lived up to its own hype and target-audience. It was a cool and fun movie of cars, explosions, blood, guts and sexy ladies, all coated in testosterone! We also went to see The Spirit in theatres which wasn't a good movie on the awards-level but I thought it was really, really fun. It's a comedy over an action so I think it wasn't marketed that well. The Spirit himself as a character was such a perfectly protrayed individual who balanced being hilariously-naive and stubborn with being a total manwhore. Saw Marley and Me as well. If you do, bring tissues! Lots of 'em.

In a couple of days *m-t-copyright and I will be hosting our group's customary New Years Eve/Christmas party! As always it promises to be loads of fun and with lots of good times to be had. The guest list keeps getting bigger so I'm hard at work making sure the house is tidy, clean and spacious to accomodate. Yay to all you guys who're coming! Feel free to bring some food and drinks (and sleeping supplies if you'd like to spend the night) :3

I haven't done much art-wise lately as it takes second-fiddle of my time and interest to nearly everything else but you never know when something random could pop up! Weird that I'm getting ready to graduate from an animation course isn't it? Atleast my good grades attest to the fact I must do it enough for school's sake so no worries! And only a few months left so yay!

DeviantArt-wise, are these new user-page layouts not awesome?! I was thrilled when they finally went live to use! I made a few tweaks to my journal's design so it matches better (and barely resisted the urge to remake a new one from scratch). All these changes are a breeze to use and a blast to customize. Also means people can use their DeviantArt accounts as a really sleek portfolio by taking out all that useless stuff. My user page for instance, is much slimmer right now. I hope these custom features are only for subscribers though. Us loyal payers have really been getting the short end of the stick recently!

A couple things of interest to people!

Animaritime's Artist Alley registration opens January 8th!

Whore of Turfan -By *m-t-copyright & ~gynocrat (18+)

AnimeAtLarge with lots of anime-related events for fans in the Halifax-area and some fun examples in the gallery

http://kurishojo.deviantart.com/journal/21091259/ Tue, 21 Oct 2008 07:41:09 PDT Lego Batman is a very fun game! Finally a good co-op game too X3

College continues. It's now both more difficult and easier to deal with now that I've finally let myself fully admit how much I hate it. Hate it. Hate it. Bad organization, classes cancelled all over the place with no notice, little to no communication, etc. etc. etc. Doesn't help a person's spirits any when a portion of the class traces and copy their work from online either. I saw the same thing in the year ahead of us but it's still a shame. Especially since now our class is being made to work on an outside-source project. When the clients realize half the work is plagerized, it's gonna make some big-wigs mighty unhappy! That kind of trace/copy work fine is good for practice but not finished pieces you're submitting for publication!

Lego Batman!

On the upside, there're are some people in my class who are uber talented and I love watching them progress and seeing their work :3 You honest, hard-workers know who you are and kudos to you! We're all learning and gain something from each experience, good and bad.

In the end, I want my diploma so I can get out! Atleast I continue to love my apartment, have had some great times there with friends and roomies, and living in Truro has been a great experience. I've certainly decided I like the little town feeling a lot, though I do often miss the convenience of life in the city (though my wallet does not).

Thus Kuri's life continues, a pleasantly swirling life of college homework, graphic design clients, web clients, Animaritime prep work, my jobs (fast food joint and the library) and, of course, my website! A big thanks to *kagamihanei and ~Fyor for their help with some of my reviews ^^ Ultimately, I find it comforting having lots of stuff to keep me busy, even if I dislike a small portion of it... *stares at certain homework assignments*

Must get mighty boring having all my journals be generally the same, huh? XD Guess I'm not much of a general life blogger. Looking into moving to New Brunswick after school just 'cause. That's kinda neat news, right? 8D Maybe? Really hoping I'll have enough money to make a trip to an anime con in the States next summer so I can meet some people. Planes are so darn expensive, don't even start on hotel costs!

I end the journal with some artwork from friends/acquaintances currently in animation school (in my school except for the first) who're awesome and fun with what they do ^^

Vaguely speaking of DeviantArt subscriptions (since you need one to have a custom journal entry), did anyone else recieve the e-mail for participating in a DA survey? Did you do the survey? Did you see some of the possible additions to the subscription system?! Holy wow. I resigned myself up as a beta tester (I wasn't one when I recieved the survey e-mail) just to get more info but not many people are talking about it! Am I one of a select few who got it? Crazy stuff... cool, cool, crazy stuff in DA's future for sure. Thumbs up!

Life-wise, my second year of Digital Animation has offically commensed! Looks like it's going to be a very comfortable year work-load wise. I have a new animation desk with a light desk that works beautifully, letting me realize just how much I was hindered by my broken one last year. Regardless of the awesome light table, I still can't wait for us to move onto digital animation roughs. Much easier getting really smooth animation since you can test it so frequently, plus I feel more comfortable with my tablet pen.

Haven't had the chance to really chat with any first years though. You guys are masters at vanishing; I know the feeling though, you just wanna get up and go! Never hesitate to come say hello :3 I'm not always rushing about in a hurry, I swear (sorry again, *amah!)!

I also got to put my earnings from my graphic design client work over the summer towards my new baby! I have 14 days to test 'er out so it's going through all the tests! I really just wanted something small and portable so I could type whenever and whereever the writing bug hits me (paper and pencil's been causing some serious wrist crampage when writing!). The Windows XP, massive storage space and really smooth wireless interent access are thus far just wicked bonuses. It's so small that I can fit it into my side bag/purse X3

Aside from those fun little bits of news, life goes on as usual. Lots of work to keep me busy, review and news writing for my website and now some school work to keep up with. Speaking of which, I have a crossword (tough workload ain't it?) due on Thursday; so best get to it!

If you're interested in my fun-but-less-than-epic adventures, you can check out some posts I made about it on my LiveJournal:

Day One
Day Two
Day Three

I also made a more observational post about some stuff I saw over at my website, Kuriousity.

In other news, school starts this coming Tuesday. I'm looking forward to some of the work and a little structure (plus it puts me one step closer to planning for after-graduation!), but I'm not nearly as excited as I was before first year. It's a course with more cons than pro but a little effort can make it work for you. Atleast the work load was pretty small. Now that I have a better understanding of how it 'works' from first year, I hope second year will go smoother.

Not looking forward to some of the drama though! Like highschool all over again with the he-saids-she-saids and behind-back bullying you get to be witness too. I often forget most of the class are still fresh from highschool but I like to think age isn't total basis for that kind of immaturity. Those downsides aside though, I made a bunch of friends from my class last year, good times! I hope to make just as many this year. Watch out first-years, you know who you are

Hopefully school won't kill my occassional drawing-bugs (you'd think animation classes would make you want to draw more somehow...), so we'll see in the coming months how many cobwebs could form around here. Hopefully not many, right?

On that note of school, let's have some fellow Digi pluggage!

Also b-day related, check out the neat stuff I got from people here on DA! Thanks again you guys X3

Heads up to fellow con-goers, Fan Expo's website has updated with schedules and maps of the event. I'm having trouble even imagining how epicly huge that event centre is! Our AA table is but a tiny spec on this massive map of massive. ~mangagirl, *m-t-copyright and I will be at spot A130 in Artist's Alley. Best I can tell you is find the Space or WB booth and you know you're in the general area o.O

Other things of interest: MTCopyright.com and Kuriousity have some pretty new layouts! Not to mention some spiffy new content all the time so I hope you guys are checkin' em both out on occassion! I did a random me-oriented post for those interested in yours-truely (or seeing some pics of my collection as it's been requested of me before?).

On that note, I'm sure it goes without saying that my DA journal got a layout change. I wanted something nice and simple for this time around. Don't forgot I'm offering journal commissions right now for you DeviantArt subscribers out there (wink, wink, nudge, nudge and all that)! *is pre-con broke*

That is all!

*m-t-copyright's b-day party has come and gone. A big thanks to you guys who drew a picture for MT's b-day and sent it over to me! Also another super-big thank you to *kagamihanei who was not only great company but gave MT and us the most awesome bags of swag. Don't believe me? Check this out:

This Kuririn toy is epic. I love him! I think I would've actually died if I'd seen this little guy years back to the days of character shrines and total DBZ addiction. Now he stands ever-so-smugly beneath my Batman bust. Kuririn knows he's the man since he's got Batman backing him up.

Currently just hanging around, waiting for bed to be appealing. 3am in the morning, bleh. And just realized I don't have work tomorrow either. So an overall boring as heck day, leading to a boring as heck night leading to another long, money-making-less day tomorrow. Oh joy! I need to find myself something to do I think.

Why won't you go faster Bittorrent?! I need my Japanese Sailor Moon drama fix and have no region 1 DVDs for which to get it! Alas, perhaps tomorrow T.T

This journal is totally just an excuse to show off my Kuririn toy. Can you tell?

Also on thoughts of DA, have I ever said how thankful I am for this community? For my small but cozy chunk of the community? I avoid people's journals unless they're friends or acquaintances because of all the drama. It's nuts! So much complaining, whining, insulting and negativity. I've been on DeviantArt since 2003 (more than five years!) and I love it here. I think the admins do a good job considering all the work they have to do. Too many people seem to think they deserve absolute perfection from others, when they themselves act out in ways that does nothing but breed animosity from others. That's not the DA I enjoy, so I avoid that and am all the better for it. DeviantArt's an awesome place with tons of great people on it; it's too bad there's so much dramatic sludge clogging up some of the workings. Thank goodness for my friends and watchers. You guys're all great and are the reason I've been coming back everyday since I signed up!

Other things of note, went to see Hellboy II on opening day. Wow. The story was pretty weak, and the ending even weaker, but the visuals and characters were amazing. Prince Nauda was especially impressive (fight-scenes, voice, appearance, personality and the fact he wasn't really a bad guy from the get-go). It makes me want to cry at the lack of decent fantasy movies there are to enjoy! Is it so much to want to see sword-clashing elfs, demons and magic-users beautifully splayed across a movie screen? I should hope not! This'll be a movie I'll watch again and again when it comes out on DVD, just to be reminded on how much is possible when you have a talented eye for detail and visual-charm behind it.

On that note, go check out MT's fanart of Prince Nuada because it too is awesome! Amah's picture of my character Diya for our art trade is also great! His line work is so pretty! I shall place the pretty thumbnails here for your viewing convenience:

I'm still open for art trades and commissions. Haven't figured out if the art trades will count towards my work term yet but they're still fun and a neccessary inspiration I've been lacking recently for drawing. So if you're interested in either, don't hesitate to comment in the comments section!

Also a bit plugging goes to my friend ~HawtPoptart who is offering free art requests for people to count towards her work term. So if you'd like to request a pic, head over to her journal and check it out.

And now I'm off to work through a scary downpour of rain and cascade of thunder and lightning! Yay? I think not... Nice to have a break in the heatwave though, right?

http://kurishojo.deviantart.com/journal/19274028/ Tue, 08 Jul 2008 13:04:08 PDT heatwave. Blech, I hate any sort of extreme weather, hot or cold. Atleast I have my nicely regulated basement apartment to comfort me.

Art-wise things have been pretty slow for me. Been super busy keeping up with my review work but I've finally gotten just about all of 'em done! About 35 books read and reviwed in the span of two weeks. It was epic! With lots of good stuff. I find the good generally outweighs the bad so that's always nice :3

So now hopefully I'll do some more art, you know, to keep myself good an' artsy just 'cause. Have a couple random WIPs in the meantime:

That third one is my half of an art trade with *amah. I hope you don't mind me using one of my characters for it! I hope to have it done in the next couple of days.

In other news I saw Wall-E and Wanted in theatres recently. Both were alright, nothing too OMG-epic but none the less very entertaining! Wall-E screaming for Eve was too cute throughout that film. Next week is Hellboy II! *hyped*

In other other news, Animaritime's new 2009 website has gone up including the opening for pre-registration. This convention gets bigger and better every year so look forward to it! I can't wait to see the new and familiar faces :3 *hyped for something that isn't until March of next year*

That's all for now, hope everyone's doing well, had a great Canada Day and a nice summer so far!

I'm getting commission-envy, as in I want commissions from people but can't afford 'em right now. In light of this, I wanna do some art trades! Any interested friends which to partake in some art swapping goodness? I'm also hoping I can have these count towards my last remaining work term hours for school. Fingers crossed!

I'm also looking for some guest reviewers for my website. If you read manga and want to give a go at reviewing some, then by all means get in contact with me ^^ You can check out my site, Kuriousity, for examples.

And it looks like DeviantArt's recent journal altercations aren't agreeing with some custom journals, mine included. Guess it's time for a new one, this time by neccessity. Or atleast a slight altering of this one 'cause I like the image, it's summery!

Happy Spring everyone! Or is it...? I know here in Nova Scotia the weather has been quite all over the place, from really hot to chilly-cold overnight. Where's the consistant Spring? I want some nice leveled out temperatures before I need to prep for meltage in the summer.

Currently trying to find a job, no luck yet but my fingers remain crossed and my resumes remain what feels like everywhere! A college student looking for a summer job, why's it so hard?! Oh right, tiny town... phooey. Been keeping myself busy in the meantime with my work term, the last work I must do before officially passing my first year. I have until mid-June or so to do 200 hours of animation or animation-related work. I'm almost halfway!

Regarding both my lack of job and my need for more art stuff to do for clients, you guys can help! I'm all caught up on commissions I was doing so commissions are open! Complete with a few lower prices while I work on bulking up my work term! I'm posting the information for it below for people's convenience:

Two journals in a week? Who is this crazy person?!

I haven't been doing much around DA the last while because of the horrible glitches running through the system all March. Most annoying being the deviations out of order. My devWatch box is constantly changing orders on me; I'm not seeing new deviations from my watch list until days, sometimes weeks, later and old deviations are showing up back on the list years after they've been uploaded. Craziness! I hope it gets fixed soon, surprised not more people are complaining about it honestly >> Not that I want that, deviants create enough drama around here, am I right? XD

For those whom I promised it to! My Super Smash Brothers Brawl friend code: 4940-5182-4824 I wanna fight some peoplez! Not sure how long it'll last though, my neighbours with the easily ~~stealable~~ borrowable wireless internet are moving out (and being obscenely loud as if to spite us or the landlord but smashing walls!) so my Wii may not be internet-cruising for a little while. My little Nintendo Wii Wi-Fi connector burns out really quickly.

My newest deviation, I'll Protect You - Coloured sure seems to be getting a lot of favs all of a sudden. Is it being plugged somewhere I don't know about? Well I'm glad people like it ^^ I'm still living in the OC sketch-phase; it's been really good for me artistically, freely sketching without being overly anal about line quality. I think my sketches are lot more natural in pose and weight than my finished ones. Much love

People who've commissioned me, I am working on them! I'm doing them in order of which I got them and I'm currently being backlogged by an especially picky request. Never fear, they're on the way!

Other artsy-ness, final projects happening at school! My experimental project (stop motion with clayman) is still dead in the water, with little work to match my little interest 8D I really need to buckle down and just do it.... but my other projects are coming along nicely. I'm just about done my final for first-year 2D class and looking forward to getting started on my 3D final! Hito is again my character of choice 'cause she's small, cute, simple in design and I can draw her no problem. For 3D I'll be using my KH-inspired version of her since it'll be spiffier done up to look like a video game render.

Spring time, where are you?!

Finally decided it was time to put my stuff aside and work on some school work and, of course, Flash decides to crash repeatedly on me. Never done it like that before in the years I've had it so naturally it'd be now! Silly Flash. Hopefully it'll be more cooperative in the near future. School finals need finishing!

Oh yes, Happy Easter everybody! Everyone eat lots of chocolate? I spent my weekend gnawing on my two-pound chocolate bunny and finishing the upgrades to my website, Kuriousity. Still a few tweaks needed but the new features are just about done their integration. MT now has MTCopyright.com set up as an art blog so check that out for sure, and keep your eyes peeled for some content over at SonoPants.com!

I've also spent the last week or so playing Super Smash Brothers Brawl. Was lucky to get a copy the day after it came out (woulda been the day of but I was at con!). Great game. The cutscene quality is incrediable and fantastically entertaining. Playing it with the Wii-mote and Nunchuck is lots of fun but I like switching between the GameCube controllers and Classic Controller as well. I'll upload my friend code soon for those interested in having a match!

Finally, for those who don't watch my scraps, I uploaded some new sketches this weekend.
