Secret Santa - Ends December 25th

She and her mother have been kicked out of their home, and they've been living on the street! She's been practically living off commissions, so if you can afford to buy one, please do! They are so beautiful and well worth your money!

commission information: [link]

If it's too much and you can't afford it, for this whole month I'm going to be donating all the money I get from commissions to *belialchan. If you do commissions and you want to help out too, please do! Every little bit counts!

Thank you to everyone who is willing to help, not only with money but with prayers and wishes of good luck! I know all of my watchers are great people who always come through, and I want to thank you all for that. I know it meant a lot to me when everyone helped me in my time of need, and it was no where near the kind of thing she is going through!

Let's work together to help her out!

Also, I've decided to postpone putting up any art until after Christmas. I'm so sorry, but I would like to spend the rest of the week with my family. The day after Christmas I will post all the pictures I have finished. (And there are quite a few!)

Thank you everyone for all the support and patience!

Happy holidays!

Here are all the people who are Secret Santas and will be getting a Secret Santa gift:

*neooki23 http://neooki23.deviantart.com/journal/28685043/ http://neooki23.deviantart.com/journal/28685043/ Sun, 06 Dec 2009 20:13:21 PST If you want to be part of Secret Santa, just let me know! I won't take anymore people after December 13, so you all have plenty of time to make gifts!

HOW TO PLAY
---------------------------
1) Tell me you want to participate before Dec. 13, and your name goes on this journal.

2) On Dec. 13, I'll tell you who your secret buddy is! You are going to be their Secret Santa!

3) You make a picture for your secret buddy, and someone makes a picture for you, but you won't know who it is until you get your gift!

RULES
---------------------
1) YOU MUST give your assigned person a gift! That is the whole point!

2) Try not to be too late on your present. Before Christmas is better than after!

3) You gift can be anything: drawing, photo, sculptor, etc. Whatever you are into and you think they will like.

4) Do a little research before making your gift. Find out what your buddy likes, so you can be sure to give them a great surprise on Christmas!

SECRET SANTAS (30 So Far!)
--------------------








http://neooki23.deviantart.com/journal/28659216/ Sun, 29 Nov 2009 19:24:16 PST
Maybe a new toy, or someone coming home for the holidays? What do you really want for Christmas this year?

I love Christmas! Maybe we should make wish lists or something? Or secret Santa...
I do not know how that works here on DA, but if any of you want to do a secret Santa thing, I am sure it wouldn't be too hard!

If anyone knows how to do that sort of thing, maybe we could try it out!

I am so sorry for the two birthdays I missed this week: and I will try to finish your pictures very soon! >.< They are really almost done!

Hopefully I will finish your birthday presents in a timely manner! I am so sorry!

Also, I've had a lot of questions about commissions lately. Yes, they are still only $3 for one character and $5 for two characters in one picture.
For full commission details, go here: [link]

Please, try to refrain from asking me too many questions without try to find the information for yourself first! I am very very busy, not only with art but with school and other personal things. I am really not open for requests right now. But, if your birthday is not on the big list under my ID, feel free to tell me! I would be happy to add you and you can ask for a specific gift you would like!

Thank you to all the people who I have promised art who are so patient with me! You have all been wonderful in supporting me! I love all of you!

Sorry for such a long journal!
Love,

Also, please make sure I didn't leave anyone out! If I did forget your birthday, just comment and tell me when your birthday is! Thanks!

October birthdays, I didn't forget about you! With Banzai happening I didn't have time to work on pictures, but your birthday gifts will be up before the end of the month! Promise!

Also, on an unrelated note, two amazing artists are doing commissions:

It will make you feel good inside.

Speaking of insides, does anyone know their blood type? I was going to make blood type bookmarks, but if no one knows what blood type they are, is there really any point?

Also, Banzai in 3 weeks! I am so nervous! Hopefully I'll get plenty done before then! I have some good surprises, and I'll take lots of pictures!

"Hey.
I've been waiting a whole 1,000 pageviews for you to do a kiriban, and you didn't do it! What's up with that? Can't you do a weird number or something? "

And you are absolutely right, my friend. I was going to do another kiriban, but I forgot! Also, I hate weird numbers, soooo I decided to do something a little different.

For this kiriban, you'll have to catch the 100th favourite of this picture:

[link]

It's my most favourited picture ever, and it gets about one every two days or something like that. Anyway, you've got a pretty big time frame to catch it, so I'm going with whoever comments with a link to the screenshot of 100 favourites FIRST.

Two prizes for the first two to get it:
1st Place: A pretty picture of anything they'd like, and a bowl of fruit.
2nd Place: Also a pretty picture, but not so much fruit.

Have fun! It might take awhile, so don't freak out about catching it right away. AND NO CHEATING! I won't give you a prize if the last 13 favs are from YOU.

Good luck!

Good Side:
1) I have excellent karma, so I actually got a new computer ONE DAY before my old one crashed.
2) The new one is OSX.4 instead of 3 like the old one, and will probaly be able to run photoshop and illustrator.
3) It is an eMac, so it is giant and bulky and I love it. The CD drive is especially cool.

Bad Side:
1) My new computer doesn't have internet yet, so I haven't been able to do anything online for a while. Hopefully the airport card will come in the mail soon.
2) All of my birthday information, calendar stuff, school stuff, everything is gone! It isn't too hard to replace though, and my dad is trying to fix my laptop, so hopefully I can get all that stuff back.
3) No reference. I use the internet of my laptop to draw pictures on the clunky studio computer. With my new computer, I'll be able to do that in one sitting, but until photoshop and internet are on there together, I can't do anything. Luckily I finished a few projects this week, and they'll come up soon, hopefully.

So yes, it would really help me out if you could tell me your birthday and a favourite video game, anime, or book character like before, so I can re-make my calendar! Thank you!

Also, sorry for the bad typing. I smashed my finger today, so it really sucks to type anything!

I've decided to open up a new kind of commission, since the regular ones are going so well! Now, for $5, you can have two characters in one picture! Single characters are still $3 dollars. If you want one, or if you just want to check it out, all the commission info is here:

I'm not excited at all.

I have so much work to do.

Anyway, I'm sorry for the massive backup of commissions. There are A LOT of birthdays in August, (including my really awesome brother's) so I've been working on presents, trying to get them done beforehand.

I'm SO SORRY! I promise promise promise they'll be done soon!

Also, I decided that I won't sell the keychains and bookmarks online until after Banzai is over. (Around October 20th or so.) I'm so sorry, but I don't have time to draw all of them and make orders and such! I hope it doesn't make anyone too mad! By the end of October, I hope to have a huge selection of Keychain images to choose from, and maybe a few more bookmarks!

Also, thank you for all the input about the Hetalia keychains! The extra characters in the Hetalia keychain set will be Prussia, Lithuania, Spain, Sealand, and Finland.

And don't worry! School won't slow me down. I'll be fine doing a picture a day with school work, unless I have a particularly difficult class, which is pretty unlikely.

Thanks for all the comments, faves, and friendship! You are all super cool!

It's called Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog. It's about a super villain who is trying to not be a loser and at the same time win the girl of his dreams.

The music is awesome.
The jokes are hilarious.
You'll be singing the entire day after you watch it.

It's really short, and all the parts on on Youtube in high quality.
I HIGHLY recommend watching it if you are any kind of a musical fan.

Also, it was probably the only cool thing that ever came out of the Writer's Strike.

I'm taking a short break from commissions tonight, and I'll start right back up tomorrow. I don't do commissions on Sundays, so that's why there's been some delays. I'm sorry to anyone who really hates waiting! I promise I'll try to finish as quickly as possible!

I've stopped keychain and bookmark production to do commissions, but that doesn't change any plans for Banzai. I'll still have the Final Fantasy set done by then. I'll be posting entire sets on the ~Apollo-Art page, and I'll tell you when those are up.

Right now, for my little break tonight, I'll be working on a very special project. It's my first time ever trying to write a serious graphic novel... wow that even sounds serious. I'm really excited! I hope you guys really like it, and I'll try to make it really amazing. It's dedicated to someone who is really special to me, and the main character is based off of them.

Maybe I'll finish something tonight and show you!

Also, my inbox says I have no messages, but then I have lots of unread messages. I was wondering if anyone else is having this problem, or just me.

If you could spare a few dollars and you would like something drawn for you, please commission me!

$3 - Any Character, no background. Complexity does not raise the price. You'll be e-mailed a print quality copy, so you can print it yourself if you want.

5$ - A copy printed on glossy paper will be mailed to you at whatever address you specify as well as e-mailed to you.

- PAYMENT -

I'll accept payment from Paypal and snail mail. If you choose to use snail mail I'll give you my address by note.

If you can, I would REALLY REALLY appreciate it! I tried to make the price very affordable. It's a small amount, but every few dollars counts, so I will do my absolute best with these commissions. Please ask your friends if they would like pictures, too. Thank you all so much!

And I know some of you just don't have the money, so thank you for the support you always give me!

Somehow I made it up the stairs...

I sat on the couch while my mom made a teddy bear until I didn't feel like throwing up.

So I've spent the whole day feeling dizzy and having a massive headache. And you know what?
My drawing skills have all returned.


Conclusion?

Head wounds cure art blocks. True story.
Anybody know what day it is? It feels like Friday.

I'm going to go set fireworks now.

Thank you all for telling me about your favourite games and animes and such! It really made me remember all the things I like to draw.

Played Tales of Symphonia 2 yesterday, which was all fun and good. The animation in that game is neat. It's not as good of a game as the first one, but it is fun to see all the old characters with better graphics.

Yuan's in it too! For like... 3 seconds >.< Yay for random cameos!

So I guess I'll get back to working hard again! I want to get as much as I can before school starts again, since I should really be getting good grades and not staying up all night thinking about business. I don't really draw during class either, so it will be hard for me to keep going at this pace.

I have quite a few things finished already, which I am EXTREMELY excited about. I won't post it all up because I want a few of you to be surprised when Banzai comes around!

Thanks for all the watches, favs and comments! You are all very wonderful to me! I wish I could repay you!

So yea, the keychains would be going great if I hadn't suddenly hit an art block. And I was in the middle of finishing Kuja, too... oh well. I'm sure it'll pass.

Anybody have a favourite game or anime out there? Anything to get my mind working again...

The theme of the Anthology is video games, and it will be filled with doujinshi and goofy little comics about our favourite, (and sometimes LEAST favourite) titles.

I'm pretty excited, as the artists working with me are really amazing and super supportive. Thanks guys for sticking with me! I've never organized something like this before!

A little sneak peak at...
The Games That Will Most Likely Be Featured:
- Zelda: Ocarina of Time
- Soul Calibur
- Devil May Cry
- Final Fantasy XII
- Okami
- Wii Play
AND MANY MORE.... or maybe not!

Stuff I'm working on right now:

Art Trades:
- - Izuna (Izuna: Legend of the Unemployed Ninja)
- - Vice (Original Character)

Gifts and Prizes:
- - Greed (Fullmetal Alchemist)

Large Original Print Projects:
- Alice in Wonderland
- Don't Ask Me Why

P.S - I have the same blood type as Vincent from FF7, and the website I got this information from gave my computer a pop-up virus.

No computer art for me today

Spent the whole day finishing Geography work and playing Hoshigami. Also got my classes for next school year changed.

For some reason I really feel like watching Advent Children... Probably because AA: Complete just came out. Really sucks that it's on blue ray *pout*

Maybe I'll watch Advent Children tonight, just for fun

"Let's make FF7 cards..." says my right hand, which is driven purely by cool character designs.

"But they are so overdone!" says my left hand, which is focused on all the more important things I should be doing.

"Screw you. You can't even write."

"..."

FF7 Chibis it is, then.

Also, I love Billy Joel.
Someday, I'll make something neato, and dedicate it to Billy Joel.

Have a good weekend, ya'll.

Also, I discovered that drawing Shonen Jump fan art gets me a lot of 10 to 12 year old friends. I have never answered so many questions about one of my deviations! I am so honored you guys! Really! You made my day with all your comments about how I'm too old to not have a cell phone... ( i HAVE one... it's just not working...) and all the questions about my cat.

You made me realize how fun it is to be a kid. I hope I don't loose that at all when I'm older.

Now that I'm feeling better, it's time to get back to work, and by work I mean ridiculous art that people might by from me!

See ya guys, and thanks again for all the love!

Luckily laptop computers were invented, so I not bored. Just feeling terrible in every physical way possible!

My bookmarks all together kinda look like candy... or at least that what it reminds me of.

Thank you all for the comments and faves and love! You guys are really awesome in every way!

I can not sleep... being sick sucks. Plus my bro had this, and it lasted a week for him...
I can only imagine the horror of being bedridden for a week.

Luckily, I promised that July 4th was the deadline, and I was suddenly reminded today.

Also luckily for me, only one person entered, so they win by default. But she woulda won anyway, because this picture is so flippin cute.

~vampire-elf
WINS.

That means she gets a three month subscription, and a picture by me.
Note or comment what ya want buddy. You're the best! Oh, and that delicious sub will most likely be in effect by next Friday. (i dunno how long it takes to process or whatever...)

Here's the winner picture, which is absolutely amazing:

I've been busy lately... and by busy I mean procrastinating by playing video games and watching Youtube videos I've had such a fun week.

Watched Yugioh the Abridged Series, and it brought back tons of memories from 4th-7th grade. Goodness. I was laughing so hard I was crying. The DBZ and Naruto abridged series' are amazing too, but there's just something amazing about making fun of your childhood memories.

Childhood. That makes me sound really old!

Speaking of childhood memories, right now is playing FF9. Love that game.

Also, all the data for FF7 and Tactics came back! I'm so happy! Now my days shall be wonderful!

One day I looked at ~Herooftime345 and said, "Why don't we make our own art studio?"

And she said... "K."

And guess what. Now we have one. We are a great heroic force of pure unspeakable awesome that ravages the countryside via conventions and artist alleys. Like a family... or at least a group of homeless people who stay together for warmth. Yea. That kind of love.

Oh the joy.

Also, drawing vocaloids really helped me get into a drawing mood again, so I can start working on more chibi card characters!!! I'm going to do Guilty Gear and Bloody Roar characters first, then move onto Kingdom Hearts. Hopefully I'll the 100 characters I want to done before October! (That's my goal at least!)

I'm REALLY proud of how the first set of bookmarks turned out, and I'm sure the second will be even better!
Still, 12 is a bit daunting. >.<

I'll try to get them all done by tonight! NO SLEEPING! Let's make the goal... to have all 12 Vocaloid bookmarks done by 5:00 AM!

Here we go!

P.S: For those who don't know what Vocaloid is, look it up on Youtube RIGHT NOW!

She got 5,000 fair and square. So anything you want, I am absolutely bound to comply. You can comment on here and tell meh, or you can note me, whatever you want, you amazing person you!


Also, i took this thing from

1. Your Name: Something like but not necessarily Schindler's List.

2. Age: 17

3. Single or Taken: Single, but taken aback by this question.

4. Favourite Film: Benny and June

5. Favourite Song or Album: I love all sorts of music... there's too many to choose one. House MD is the album I listen to the most because it has a ton of different songs I like.

6. Favourite Band/Artist: Madsen and Die Arzte (DevArt doesn't do umlauts for some reason...)

7. Dirty or Clean: Squeaky clean.

8. Tattoos and/or Piercings: None srry...

9. Do we know each other outside of dA? I don't think so... maybe like... one time... on the highway...

10. What's your philosophy on life? Life is too short to waste on not being happy.

11. Is the bottle half-full or half-empty? I fill my glass all the way to the top.

12. Would you keep a secret from me if you thought it was in my best interest? Sure why not >.<

13. What is your favourite memory of us? That one time... when I saw your picture and commented on it... AND THEN YOU COMMENTED BACK! It's like we were MADE for each other.

14. What is your favourite guilty pleasure? Munching on my cat's ears...

15. Tell me one odd/interesting fact about you: There are no facts about me, only lies.

16. You can have three wishes (for yourself, so forget all the 'world peace etc' malarkey) - what are they? 1) Malarkey is a hilarious word. 2) Probably a bazillion dollars, a kiddie pool, and some delicious strawberries.

17. Can we get together and make a cake? Sure. If it explodes, we probably did it wrong.

18. Which country is your spiritual home? ... Germany?

19. What is your big weakness? Spherical animals.

20. Do you think I'm a good person? Can't say you're a bad one.

21. What was your best/favourite subject at school? Jewelry.

22. Describe your accent: It's kinda like a truck rolling through Cool Whip.

23. If you could change anything about me, would you? To be honest, I would probably turn you into a raccoon. Nothing personal, I just like raccoons.

24. What do you wear to sleep? Shorts and a shirt with an alien on it...

25. Trousers or skirts? ... trousers?

26. Cigarettes or alcohol? I like ripping cigarettes open, and alcohol comes in too many varieties that all taste horrible.

27. If I only had one day to live, what would we do together? I'd probably sit with you in the hospital... unless you were going to like... spontaneously die in one day, then I guess we could go climb Mt. Everest. Since you're going to die anyway, we wouldn't have to worry about coming back down!

28. Will you repost this so I can fill it out for you? I JUST DID! Almost fooled you.

This morning, there was a bumblebee in the studio. I guess it came in under the door... but Samus was talking to it. That's right. She was meowing at it.

My cat is completely retarded as far as hunting goes.

CHARON is now the 10th PLANET. OFFICIALLY. Isn't that just awesome? Pluto and Charon together are a binary planet, which means they circle around each other like some kind of awkward little fish.

- How Much It Represents PLUTO and CHARON
Of course, that's what this contest is all about! Make it VERY clear in your picture that you support our new BINARY PLANET!

And now, the moment you've all been waiting for...

THE PRIZES

FIRST PLACE WILL BE AWARDED:
- A 3 Month DevArt Subscription

Sorry, but there are no second and third places, so work hard! Remeber that I love colour and nice, clean artwork!

1)FOR PEOPLE GOING TO BANZAI. Doing a Samurai 7 cosplay with ~Herooftime345. If you want to join in, feel free. Here's a picture for ya if youre interested:
[link]
Heihachi, (Far back with orange hair and goggles) Katsushiro, (very front with blue/green hair) and Kyuzo, (further back with blonde hair and red jacket) are already taken, but if you like any of the others or would like to cosplay as the girls, Kirara and Komachi, let me know.

2) Went to the movies and saw KNOWING with Nicolas Cage. It was pretty good, if you're into sci-fi and suspense. Lots of graphic scenes, (it is about the end of the world...) but nothing scarring or horrific. You certainly wont have nightmares. It's a pretty good show, if you're looking for one to see. (It might be offensive to some fanatically religious people, i.e it explains religion through ALIENS, but remember its just a STORY and you'll be fine.) The music, acting, and special effects are all really good.

3) Sorta getting into One Piece again... the new Funimation dub is really good, and without all the HORRIBLE edits, it's not so bad in English. (In my opinion, the German dub is the best )

Well I'm done. It's been a real lonely week... but I've been running more and spending time outside. This is the first time since Tuesday I've felt like doing anything fun.

Sorry for the long journal!

PS: I drew some... rather disturbing things this week... I might still post them in scraps or something...

But I decided I'm not allowed to play a video game or watch an anime without drawing some characters while doing it? That's how that Ameterasu picture came to be...
So I guess Ginko's next huh? :d But this set will be extremely* easy...

Maybe one of these days I'll show you guess my sketches... they're pretty funny to look at... some of them turn out better than the finished product!

Enjoying a peaceful, overcast day,

*The chibi sets I sell only come in threes, (i.e KH Set 1 contains Sora, Riku, and Kairi) so I usually have to make more than one set for each series, but Mushi-shi only has three main characters: Ginko, Adashino, and Nui.
