                <description><![CDATA[ yes, 3:58am. Truly, I've become some what akin to a type of night driven creature that feeds off the sexyness of great pieces of artwork on this site....And my current obsession with cities, sci-fi and Alucard ((GUNS, I have SKETCHES TO PROVE IT <8O))<br /><br />And 19th century spazz due to Mr. IlluminaÂ©. ("Illuminous Outreach" reference to this newly discovered character. Yes, this is his name. Well, for now. It's stuck, so thar. &gt<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";P" title="Wink/Razz" />)<br />Aaaand GretchÂ© + EvanÂ©.<br /><br />I feel in the mood of doing fanart... But I have two more commissions to do, bleeeeeeeh. ~o~<br /><br />...Random art trades anyone? Uwo<br />They'll be sketchies though, as a head up.<br />Colored only if i really do like what I make and must vomit rainbows to fulfill my wierd appetite.<br /><br />Thanksgiving was...Okay. Went to a friend's house. First time I ever had gravy on turkey. Amazing. I've missed out.<br />Okay, okay, okay, QUESTION: Who's mother gives thier daughter an in depth anatomy book as a gift in celebration of being accepted into college?<br />Just wondering.<br />I appreciate it, of course. But, I find it rather..Irritating.<br />Though, I have to admit, I now know why L's eyes are so large and his ravenous intake of sweets. IT IS A DISORDER. Or some kind of malfunction of the body. Deals wit a really, really, really fast metabolism. <br />Cake Boss is also amazing.<br /><br />My brother wants to get the Wii for x-mas. and pokemon revolution (that's okay, but he'll lose...A lot, unless he learns how to evenlly distribute power amongst his team...And stops using useless ubers...ALl the time...*growls*) and I will be getting my first set of copics.<br />This better not be a waste...BETTAH NOT BEEEEE.<br />Because that's the only gift I'm getting. <br />Ah well.<br /><br />I want lemon custard cake for some obtuse reason now.<br />Darn you early morning munchies! *shakes fist*<br />Oh, yes, I very much am ranting at this point.<br /><br />"Ninja Assassin" don't you think they could've come up with a better title?<br /><br />2012. Don't watch it for the plot, watch it for the GRAPHIIIICS. holy blubbergus.<br /><br />Blaziken. Jirachi. and Celebi.<br />New Gijinka characters in the works if my friend decides to post up her rp.<br /><br />And i'll be doing another rp (shorter one, since i'm too lazy to wrk anymore at this moment on Sandgate&#169<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /> featuring the Umbra DaalÂ©, the Vampire King (still no name, HEEEELP) her advisor (no name, HEEEEELP) and TokuikiÂ©.<br />Plot goes along the lines of saving the King's sanity, stopping an unholy war of monsters occuring and topling the Vamperic empire. Oh, yeah, a more important thing, STOPPING THE SUN FROM SHINING UPON THE UMBRA. There's a reason why it's called that.<br />Sunshine hasn't touched that place for millenia. <br />How? REALLY HI-TECH SCI-FI MOFO SHIT, that's what.<br />(millenia, wait, what? Shouldn't it be not so impressive or sophisticated? Oh well, it's my plot, deal with it.)<br /><br />There was an agreement between the Umbra King's anscestors and the Humans. (the humans of the ancient past were smart fortune cookies in this roleplay. Too bad they steadily became less tolerant of other species, so only the gov't of the human domain deal with Umbra's existance and upkeep. Sure, there are still AnimaÂ© and ghosts that pillage cities and whatnot. but Umbra is still sorta kept under taps...)<br />Underground they made this head quarters of controlling the sun's rays by creating a very powerful simulation of a solar eclipse[correct?] over Umbra. <br />the Vamp king's advisor wishes ot cause distress for the King and succeeds, she forces herself to sleep in order to contact past monarchs for guidence (here comes the dreams part). Tokuiki (dream weaver entity)is manipulated by the Advisor and sends her off into the King's dreams, by chance Tokuiki finds the mainframe of the simulation, but then she's attacked by the forces of Eiye (type of dark force behind the Gates&#039<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /> and her dream form is recalibrated into a destructive virus that attacks the simulation.<br /><br />Here's where thing's get interesting.<br />TalecÂ© hears rumors of the sun "once more appearing" in the Umbra.<br />He's not the kind to worry about such things, but this uusually upsets him (there's more to him than just collecting GateKeysÂ© honeys).<br />He travels to EliveCityÂ© to investigate and gets himself involved with the underground Gate of Elive. He's sworn to this Gate until Elive and Umbra are safe from utter distruction and discord. Peeved, but, feeling he may get a reward out of it (GateKey or new minion, I don't know. Still in planning stages)he finds the p... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I apologize deeply for anyone who has been waiting ever so patiently for me to post more work, I have been VERY VERY BUSY, due to being a senior of sorts...<br /><br />I have barely had "fun" freetime, to just do some anime art and get some commissions done.<br />I fear for Sand Gate's completion... D:<br /><br />Many things going on life-wise.<br /><br />Anyways, I will try to make up for lost time and post some of my AP artwrok (these are most of my serious works in mediums I usually do not post on here, I hope this will be a treat for most of you to see what else I am capable of doing...).<br />I fear that most of you will not be interested in my AP work, but that is all I am concentrated (sort of) on now when it comes to art.<br />So please, try to work with it until I feel out of the red zone (I have serveralthese this year and it has barely reached the third month of the first semester!)<br /><br />Well, many blessings and adeus' to all of you, <br />and hopefully senior year does not kill me with all of its stresses. Yet surprisingly I have faired...Rather well, eh. But still, many more months to go.<br /><br />More art (hopefully) to come(especially if I get my hands on a digital camera...),<br />Easily confused yet driven,<br />nikiera<br /><br /> ]]></description>

All missed deviations are deleted, please leave me at peace now. Thank you.<br /><br /><s><u>To the recipient of the sent note:</u></s><br /><s>Just been sent a note specifiying me to delete some works because i had ignored/blocked the two participants in the past.<br />-There's a fine line between cyber bullying and a (c) advisory.<br />I hadn't been able to take them down since there's soemthing funky with my gallery and I can't get anywhere past the first page.<br />If you guys want me to delete them asap then send me a link to the deviations deleted via note. Currently i cannot do this on my computer.<br />So please, stop pestering me via note about this; I've been trying to delete everything because they cause me bad memories as it is- so some patience would be very much appreciated, thank you.<br />And I don't mean that in a demeaning way, it's just you guys depress me.<br />ANd I did what I had to do to retain some kind of happiness in this life (and sleep).</s><br /><br />Btw, stop skulking around my gallery. I don't snoop around yours, so please return the favor[both of you know who you are].<br /><br />Trying to be as gentle with her words as possible,<br />nikiera.<br /><br /><br /><b>ON A LIGHTER NOTE~</b><br />Today was my boyfriend and I's anniversary [would that make 6 months now?]<br />I was never good at math, he had sneaked into my school [not really, i did most of the sneaking, he found me, haha, and scared me... >3>']<br />Walked around and talked a bit >w<<br />See you tomarrow!<br />[pray that i don't get sick >o<']<br /><br />Oh, and I start volunteering again at the hospitol ~w~<br />Yaaaay { i get free food, nums <3}<br /><br />Ah, and everyone else: I WILL GET TO YOUR DEVIATIONS! I'm just very overwhelmed currently with school work and I hadn't been able to get the large amounts of time i wished I had to look, analyze and give comments.

HOPEFULLY this is less confusing/contradiciting in the pricing.<br />I APOLOGIZE FOR ALL THE TROUBLE!<br /><br />-nikiera ]]</i><br /><br />~<br /><b>ONLY ACCEPTING CHECKS THROUGH MAIL.</b><br />IÂm under 18 and canÂt get the Paypal D/<br /><br /><b><u>The Current:</u></b><br /><br />ÂAll my colored work (for now) is in Prisma Markers. [Will be updated as I get more comfortable doing Commissions]<br />ÂCurrently my commissions are open only for character drawings. Backgrounds and other goodies will be available later on, just hang tight till then.<br /><br /><u><b>What I'm Willing To Draw:</b></u><br /><br />I'm pretty flexible as an artist, I can do whatever.I'm up to try new stuff as well, but I'll always do a test image just in case.<br />Â But take it easy on the mecha, I'm working on that.<br />Â Sexually explicit images I won't do. I can do "sexy" pictures, or romantic or passionate scenes, but that's about it.<br /><br /><b><u>Terms of Commissioning Me:</u></b><br /><br />      Â To commission me send a Note with the title <b>ÂArt CommissionÂ</b>.<br />ÂAll work sent to you will only be used by only you and myself. (i.e. do not make any copies to be shared with others, if they want their art they can commission me for some.) <br />ÂAll of my work belongs and is <i>copyrighted to me</i> and you are <i>not</i> to use it in any means to gain a profit or say it wasnÂt drawn by me; all my work has my signature (if you want the original) or with a watermark (if you want the final digitally sent to you). If you do not want this, tough luck: itÂs to prevent people from stealing my work. If you donÂt like it commission someone else.<br />ÂDO NOT STEAL, EDIT, TRACE, ETC. MY ART.<br />Â Don't whine/beg to me.<br />Â No Retracting commissions once you've placed it and is accepted, understood?<br />Â Once my art is done and given you may not say, "I don't like it" and I've done all that work for nothing.<br />ÂÂÂ<b>Make sure to put on a <u>return address in case it gets lost</u> (for check and art), that way the check gets back to you and you can resend it. And IÂll do the same so that way if the art gets lost itÂll come back and IÂll resend it; just be patient if this happens.</b><br />Â So, what I'll do is start a sketch, show it to you, you see if it's ok. And if it is I will continue to finishing it. Once youÂve seen the sketch preview and youÂre happy with it you will send the payment through the mail (addresses and details of commission will be discussed through private NOTE). I will let you know when IÂve received the money; then I will send your finished art through the mail (it will be in a large white envelope to prevent bending).

                <description><![CDATA[ Argh, no one told me that in order to have a PayPal you needed to be 18!!!<br />My dad and I tried to make one and after we got the message saying we couldn't I tried to weasel my way into getting one, but he said no and strictly said I couldn't get a PayPal till I turned 18.<br />Eh, not very far, I'm 17 now, but I have to wait until next Maaaay!*sobs*<br />I was really psyched to finally make a buck off my art, once again my plans are thwarted.<br />Oh, one more question, how does one go about shipping art?<br />Use those new flat rate boxes or use those manilla envelopes to put the art in and send?<br /><br />Ok, I think that's my last question about that.<br />--<br /><br />Well, I have a shitload of lineart in the works.<br />I'm debating on either to load them raw to allow people [if they'd like] to color them in.<br />But, if not. I won't bother. I'm too lazy to load too much stuff, on top of that I'm scared to let people I have yet to know well to color my work without the whole "scared of stealing art" business.<br /><br />Hmmm... Things at the house are pretty bad. I refuse to speak to my mother, but seemingly my mom's ignoring my dad now because I'm ignoring her.<br />Jesus, she's such a kid. She's the one who had started this whole 'silent treatment' mess.<br />Now my dad wants me to talk to her again and stuff, patch up whatever whole is between us before things get any worse. And I understand this but I'm not the kind of person to be gentle with another if they've wronged me and the rest of the family, as my mom had.<br />It seems cold, but I'm not always warm and cuddly.<br />I will strike when need be.<br /><br />Well, I'm officially overly pissed, my mom had bought my bro Diamand version. He also has Platinum!<br />And in the very beginning I badly wanted Platinum and had been horribly, HORRIBLY patient for that game.<br />So while I'm still on hold for a new game [much more, also art supplies...], because money's tight for my dad. My mom is busy buying my bro stuff.<br /><br />I won't bring in what else is going on since it's very personal, but I know someone's going to say "Well, why not ask you mom to buy you Platinum?" Well, though it would seem I'm very shy and would go for the easier raod, I DO have an ego and pride. And I'm not lowering myself to that woman to get me things, to make me happy.<br />It just seems she's just buying stuff for us just to get on my and my bro's good sides...<br />*huffs* And I'm not going to allow her to have her way with me.<br />--<br />Anywho, many characters and art in theworks so I hope you're all looking forward to that.<br />By the way, I'm itching for a battle and contest [can you contest over wifi on Pearl?].<br />Note me if you'd like to challenge sometime. Maybe we can set up a day and time to get on the network.<br /><br />Adeu,<br />nikiera<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ To me this is sort of an important quesion and I'll post-pone my update at Indian Acres for the 4th of July.<br /><br />Um, I was talking to my dad and he says he's willing to help me make a PayPal account so I can actually make a buck off my art.<br />But i wanted to ask a couple of people who really do this kind of thing:<br />Is my art worth being bought?<br /><br />Just wondering, cause right now I don't feel like jumping into sometihng if I have no chance of anyone really buying any of my stuff.<br /><br />Also, for those who sell art; how do you sell it online [the process itself?], what are good ways of setting prices for your art? can you sell art without really sending the original [how does that work?] and if you do sell the original, do you have to attain the client's address or something to ship it [or whatever methods, how does that work as well?]<br /><br />I would really like to know...<br /><br />Thanks, and I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July weekend!<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/m/meow.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":meow:" title="Meow :3" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

Post the rules.<br />2. Each tagged person must tell 8 things about themselves<br />3. At the end you have to tag 8 people and post their icons in your journal<br />4. Then go back to their page and leave a comment saying you tagged them<br />5. No tag backs<br /><br />1: I'm easily bored.  <br />2: I enjoy entertaining and serving people [my friends specifically], though it seems I'm stuck up, ditzy or just plain wierd.<br />3: I read a book while I'm using the bathroom.[more likely at my house than someone else's]<br />4: I surprise my friends when I wear regular girl clothing.[which I have been doing lately since school went out]<br />5: I have an addiction to orange juice.<br />6: It's difficult for me to make profile skeletons, but easy for me to draw the character. Even harder to make stories about them. =_=' <br />7: I'm naturally antisocial to people I don't know and easily awkward.<br />8: I'm jealous of anyone who has PS. :/<br /><br />More or less negative things about me.~o~<br /><br />Now post 8 other people you're going to tag:<br />No one since I hate being tagged[no offense intended], and want to stop the madness here.<br />~~<br />I'm back from Outerbanks everyone!<br />I think I might've gotten a tan. [which, in my opinion is a miracle in and of itself].<br />I played my pkmn Peral quite a bit and got some art done during the time there, which was nice. Plus getting some much needed vitamin D, though I didn't bring a swimsuit. Just sitting in the sun is good enough for me.<br /><br />We had smores every night and watched Transformer's 2. [which, if anyone wants to watch you're going to have a long attention span. It's almost 3 hours long and there are some slow parts. But overall, it's an ok sequal to the first. But I noticed the transforming scenes aren't as detailed and are more blurry in comparison to the first. Which was sort of a bummer for me. I really like those scenes! D:<]<br /><br />Uuuh, my bro played his Platinum version and as annoying as he is constantly asked me questions on how to do this or that. Pretty much I was playing the game for him. I might as well had taken the game.<br />Pfft. Oh well, I'll just wait till Heart of Gold and Silver Soul come out. I'm so exciteeeed!!! xDDD<br />Oh, we also battled a couple of times...I think 6 times? I beat him four times and he beat me 2 times. Those i pretty much threw the match sine I felt sort of bad that I was beating him so bad.<br />But then after the 6th time we battled and I beat him he threw a temper tantrum wondering why he couldn't beat me.<br />Hmm, let's see...I've been into pokemon since it's come out, transferred all the pokemon I've caught over the years and put them into the latest game I've got, so my P.C's are almost overflowing with almost every pokemon.<br />I'm really close to finishing off the pokedex.[woot!]<br />Uuuuum.... And I have over 10 lvl 100's. And I'm still raising more, plus I've just recently started putting EV training into practice.<br /><br />So, yeah.*shrug*<br /><br />I watched a show called "Ghost Adeventures", which is on the Travel Channel at 9pm on fridays. Last week's episode was at the Magnolia Plantation.<br />Was pretty wicked, if you'd like to watch look it up on thier site or go on youtube.<br />Too bad I couldn't sleep after watching it >3< I have this horrible addiction to watching that stuff and I know I won't sleep after watching. Arrrgh. I NEVER LEARN!!! DDDx<<<br />~~<br />Went to a friend's graduation party not too long ago. Was pretty kicking... I had bought my DDR, but the effing mat didn't work. I also brought KH2.<br />Good food too [ftw, amazing food. I collapsed into a coma after eating too many brownies Dx>]. Before we left for her house the small group that was left over for the sleep over at her house split into eachother's cars and pretty much wasa wild car escapade in the town[this all started mostly since we couldn't find a store open at 10pm, this went on until 12pm].<br />Was a lot of fun but it was getting late so we went to her house and watched anime until we all passed out.<br />~~<br />Uh, and me and my boyfriend's 2nd month anniversary was June 17 [we started going out April 17th] and I made a pic of him and I as animals. I'll be psoting it pretty soon, hope you guys' like it, same with you Katana ;D<br />~~<br />Mnrrr, still working on Sandgate.<br /><br />And lots of summer reading and need to get working on driving and getting my P.E credit [I have to go to a gym and earn it].<br />Then work on college essay and see if the university I'm interested in has Message therapy prog... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Eyyyyy, what's up everyone?<br />[hopefully, not just the cieling...Bad pun, I know]<br />Hopefully the summer is going good for everyone and taking full advantage of laziness factor.<br /><br />Just letting my watchers know that I've totally rearranged my gallery [hopefully] for easier navigation.<br />[Ugh] It took me a couple of hours but I DID IT!!!!<br />Yes, my mature filtered pictures aren't included in the sub-catagories. So you'll have to dig through my gallery to find them [I is evil, ohoho].<br /><br />Oh, btw, if you're wondering what are the "gates" tabs, they're gonna be the places where I'm going to post my Sand Gate roleplay information and/or profiles for your viewing pleasure.<br />But under no cincumstancs may anyone [either friends or passerby] may redistribute [such as fanart] or alter [create characters based off of mine] my Sand Gate O.C's [or any of my original characters] in any way, shape, or form.<br />Thanks for reading that, and please, do adhere to that rule. I really hate when people try to steal art- it's bothersome and it's not worth stealing something that isn't yours. Ya'know- karma.<br />what goes around comes around.<br /><br />But enough of my philisophical nonesense.<br /><br />And one more thing, I'll be going to North Carolina in two weeks time... I'm guesstamating the 21st of June. So if anyone has any requests of any kind in the art sense, please send me a note specifying what you would like. But I'm limited to what materials I may bring with me. I prefer lineart [ink] or sketches. I'll try to bring my coloring utensils along on the trip, but no promises <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";P" title="Wink/Razz" /><br />And this goes for poeple on gaia who want art from me as well.<br />If you are going to order art from me, you're going to have to pay in full at the beginning. I'm not going to work on your request before I get the gold negotiated during the request application process.<br /><br /><b>SIDE NOTE: Yo, Alley, you may want to send that lineart to me via email now. I'm pretty much done with my final request before leaving. And I'd like to work on what you've got for me while I'm gone. THANK YOU!</b><br /><br />Til' Next Time,<br />nikiera<br />~w~<br /><br /><b>EDIT:</b> Check This Out!<a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s134/eddsworld/nikiera_drawin.jpg">[link]</a> tis by <a href="http://eddsworld.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/e/d/eddsworld.png?1" alt=":iconeddsworld:" title="eddsworld"/></a><br />He finished my original image <a href="http://nikiera.deviantart.com/art/GO-ed-101685122">[link]</a><br />Please visit his site [<a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.eddsworld.co.uk/]">[link]</a><br />:'D<br /><br /> ]]></description>
