Eventually I hope to have a Characters page and the like. But the first page and banner are up, and you can view it here. [link]

I'm trying to keep a minimum of once-a-week update schedule.

CC is welcome. (Encouraged.)

The fall-though commission angel pic I want to finish inking, and digi-paint it. 3/4 through inking.

My request. It's been... a month and a week now? Fuck, sorry. D= It's halfway done. I've got the hard part (nailing, or at least nicking, the perspective and poses.) Lmao, but I bet the fanfic it's based on has already updated. I'll have to go read the new chapters.

I'm slow and busy and ADD. >.< Um. But my manga is coming out great, really. I hope my characters don't hate me for all the rivers of mud I have planned for them. -evil laugh-

I have about a million messages, too... Not looking forward to reading them all. xD

Will get around to posting new stuff. The old stuff is still available in said folder, but don't look there. xD Just go straight to "new stuff" folder in my gallery, eh? Spare your eyes.

Although, maybe a year from now I'll be saying the same thing about my recent stuff.

Unfortunately, most of what I've drawn recently is unfit for publishing, being just anatomical notes, character sketches, and style development.

Just a side note, I finished watching .hack//sign today. The ending confused me! What ever happened to Sora? And the story behind Maho? (Two of my favourite characters, BTW.) I hate open ended...endings.

BUT THE FINALE WAS FLIPPING AWESOME!!

If it weren't for the darned Maiko and Kataang makeout sessions at the end, I'd say it was almost perfect. I would like to see Zuko find Ursa, and know whether all the old Fire Nation troops are now loyal to Zuko or not, and whatever became of Azula, and whether Jet really died or not... But, hey, I guess that'll all be left to the fandom.

The pwn list:

Sokka on that ledge of the airship, holding on to Toph with one hand while taking out two firebenders with the other.

Katara submerging herself and Azula, then chaining her to the floor.

Zuko on equal terms with Azula, then saving Katara like that.

White Lotus Society appearing to take back Ba Sing Se.

Toph glomping Zuko for their "fieldtrip".

Seeing the Fire Lord bendingless.

Changed ending music.

New outfits. Katara looks surprisingly good in green, and Aang's new Avatar costume wasn't too bad.

The phail list:

The overly dramatic "Noooooo!!" when Zuko jumped in front of the lightning to save Katara.

Toph stuck on an airship and unable to kick Fire Nation butt on a massive scale.

Aang conveniently disappearing and getting advice from all his past lives... and a giant Lion-turtle.

Suki's skimpy Fire Nation outfit.

Kataang.

Kataang.

Kataang!

Maiko.

Zuko serving tea at the end. They should have a servant to do that! Hell, Azula had cherries WITH THE PITS REMOVED while getting a pedicure before she even became Fire Lord...ess.


So, now what will become of the fandom? Will we disband? Become even stronger? =o (Still live action movies looming on the horizon, teasing our fandom senses with the promise of amazing special effects and (hopefully) super-cute actors.

Final Total: 10 [Confrontation and competition aren't common fears? (I'm also afraid of those. .__.)]

If you wish to post this in your journal, it's been requested that you title it I'm afraid of __ out of 75 common fears.



If you get more than 30, I strongly recommend some counseling.
If you get more than 20, you’re paranoid.
If you get 10-20, you are normal.
If you get 10 or less, you're fearless.
People who don’t have any are liars.

Maybe in a hundred years I'll be absolutely awesome. (Peanut gallery in the back screaming, "Fat chance of that, you hack!")

What I'm working on now:

A very bad Zutara pic commenting on Bryke's "dark" comment.

A big project, which I'm about 1/2 way done.

A Katara/Pakku pic I might never finish (I actually have to redo it entirely, but, eh.)

On another note, all the water in my house tastes like garlic. o.o i pour it out of the Brita, and that's all I taste. Seriously, if you ever want to go bulimic, don't bother shoving your fingers down your throat. Just take a sip of garlic water! D= Blech.
(Which is why I'm drinking juice instead, even though cranberry juice is nasty and bitter.)

Not sure if that's different from other ones. o.o So, has anyone done this before? How long did it take you? I'm giving it a year. xD

On another note, I just posted a gagstrip for the first time, and I have one sketched and one more planned. Well... Let's just say they both involve Zutara, and I might have to put a mature warning on one. Lol.

But, at the moment, my head is killing me. (My fault for spinning in the chair, but dammit, it's been half an hour and it still is throbbing.)

Methinks it had to do with Season III being Fire, so they wanted to do it in July, but settled on only the second half of it having a Summer premier date. Has anyone seen the trailers? Scrumptious!

Avatar: Protection was recently completed (two this morning, to be precise.) I really, really tried my best on that, and I think it turned out well. =o I just hope people don't read that title and think it has to do with condoms. -sweatdrop- That was an effort over three or four days. I think it's pretty dramatic.

I cannot wait for the new episodes to run. So, think they'll have some sweet, juicy Zutara for us?

The live action movie, as it would appear, won't come out until 2010.

Whee, so, I just registered under practice oekaki on avatarspirit.net. Further good news, Avatar won best cartoon on KCA! (I voted... Did you?) So, what does this all mean? That I have too much freetime. xD

Which reminds me of that other task that I totally neglected...

Oh well.

Sleep comes before all chores, tasks, duties, and should-have's. Goodnight.

I have no pockets today, so I have to tuck my MP3 into the waistband of my skirt. I'd like one of those things that you can strap to your arm in situations like this. Lol.

Ah, man, I woke up at five thirty this morning screaming. There was a spider in my dream. -sweatdrop- Nice way to start a Saturday morning.

No, I haven't given up pencil drawing. I'm just finally utilizing my photoshop. xD

Ciao.

I've been drawing more frequently lately. Lol, just look at my stats. Something like fifty percent of my drawings were uploaded in January (Last month.) I think I've gotten better, too.

Latest drawings? Fullmoon o Sagashite! I've been really into that series, but only recently felt up to drawing fanart for it. Ayumi has a very intimidating style, with elaborate shading and small, careful details. I think I did a good job, though. I'll admit that I'm no where near as detailed as she.

I forgot to do tons of Valentine's Day specials! D= It only occured to me a few days ago, and since then I've not had enough time to really do anything other than that Takuto/Mitsuki one. I do have three that are half-finished, though, romantic or not. All from Naruto, as it would happen. I'll hopefully finish them up and put them on in the next few weeks. =o

For anyone that doesn't know, I'm also a fanfiction writer, and am merixthexninja on fanfiction.net. Avatar, of course. I've been busy with that, too.
