THE BASICS: write a Christmas/Holiday wish list. It can be any 10 wishes you'd like to have granted, no matter what they are. Possible or seemingly impossible. People look and grant the wishes if they can. It's not about "OMFG PRESENTS", it's about making someone else's holiday a little brighter by giving. Personally, I get more out of giving than receiving sometimes. It's just a good feeling to give.

STEP ONE

** Make a post in your journal. The post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, big or small. The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.

STEP TWO

** If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes someone's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use--or even know where you could get someone's dream purebred Basset Hound for free--do it.

** You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf--to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not--it's your call.

There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just...wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.

Hi guys how are you all?

On my end things are good and bad D:

I think I'm sick @_@ No fever but lack of energy and I keep coughing. (I will be so mad if I lose my voice again. I hate sounding like a man for 2 weeks > A
The semester is almost over! Tomorrow is the last day of classes and then finals begin~ I only have one final but a LOT of tests this week (My professors didnt feel like writing a cumulative exam so they gave us regular test on the last week of school). All in all I have 2 tests tomorrow morning, 1 final exam on Dec 10 and a paper due Dec 11 D: (Not that bad!)

Another bad thing though is that Anime Matsuri lost my money > A < I have to fix the situation ASAP and now I'm paranoid about San Japan (I hope they didnt lose my stuff too >:...)

Okay now for some good news~

THERE'S A 50% CHANCE OF SNOW TOMORROW!!!!

Omg yay snow again in Houston! Sooo excited!! Definitely gonna have a snowball fight. Don't care how sick I get <:

Finishing my art class with an A, and it looks like I can double major in Biochemistry and Studio Arts!!! Yay for varying matriculation rules!

Omg I have over 500 watchers!?!! THANK YOU SO MUCH GUYS

The 500th watcher is...~Daisukeuke!!!!

As a thank you I will draw your TinierMe (rekichan)in full color

(Please expect this to take some time though because of finals >:....)

EDIT: I GOTS SOME PICTURES~ [link]

Okay so Onicon 2009 was my very first Onicon with an Artist Alley table. Our ~studioBOBA group (me, mossi, and my little sis) arrived at the convention hotel at noon (we were first going to arrive way earlier but received an email from the AA head to come by noon). The Onicon staff WAS NOT READY AT ALL. The people using the hotel for their event before us were taking forever. They finished at about 1pm and Onicon began setting up. What I donÂt understand is why the heck it took the AA 3 HOURS after the earlier event cleared out to set up tables. The tables werenÂt large; in fact they were two smaller tables duck-taped together after placing them. We didnÂt get our table until 4pm, and the con had started at noon ;A; And to make things worse, the AA head and some of his volunteers skewed the Âfirst-come first-serve basisÂ so some people didnÂt get their table until wayyyy late. We got our tableÂ. RIGHT IN BETWEEN THE BATHROOMS. =_=ÂÂÂÂÂ Thank god

brought her anime carved soap to sell (note her to buy some!!) We didnÂt have to worry much about any smells

Friday kinda sucked for me because I wanted to go to the print shop to get some extra posters. Well on the way I got lost, with a dead cell phone, DURING HOUSTON DRIVE-HOME TRAFFIC. I eventually found my way, but when I got back I WAS NOT HAPPY. I didnÂt want to leave the hotel ever again for the rest of the convention @_@ Honestly Friday was bearable only because I had my homies, my friends like

, new friends like

, and some really sweet volunteers.

Saturday was just a friggn rollercoaster ride D:
HIGHS:
1) Getting

and their friend to do this pose ([link]) while in soul eater cosplay
2) Gridlock traffic in hallways thus people stopping to buy in the AA!
3)

and his Obama mask and pimp hat + sharingan eyes LOL!!!
4) People remembering me from San Japan and Anime Matsuri (like our lovely Fran~)
5) People remembering my sis in Battlegrounds (the rare short female black fighter <:~)
6) Meeting a customer who bought a print from me before I ever had a table (a long time ago I was asking different artists their opinion of my work and this guy just off the bat wanted to by the image

!!!)
7) Meeting

(WE NEED TO DO A COLLAB

)

(thank you for coming fellow Rice student

)

(you are the cutest cosplayer I have ever met

)
8) Lots of commissions~
9) Lots of table adoptees~ (people we ÂadoptÂ because our table becomes their hangout <:!!)
10) ART TRADES

http://nio-sama.deviantart.com/journal/28126662/ Sat, 07 Nov 2009 08:28:00 PST
But I really wanted to write to tell you about a really amazing group here on dA that is starting to get off the ground called *dA-ScholarsProject

.

"The dA Scholars Project(dASP) is a petition for a small (or large) Scholarship to be awarded from dA to a worthy applicant who plans on pursuing a degree in the Arts."

Don't you guys think this is an amazing opportunity for deviantArt to really make a difference in a deviant's life? As a college sophomore, I remember when I was a senior in high school applying to several scholarships, scrambling for money because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to afford a higher education. Luckily I chose to attend a science & engineering-oriented university, so there were several academic-based scholarships to apply to.

For art schools it is VERY different. The most expensive undergraduate educations are found in art schools because 1) there aren't that many art-related scholarships (this includes college-based, government, and third-party scholarships) 2) The average cost-of-living is higher (Most college students worry about food, clothes, and housing; art students worry about that and very expensive art supplies to buy and replenish)

I think this idea of creating an Art scholarship is amazing. DeviantArt prides itself in being the largest online art community, so I believe it's only appropriate that they create an Art scholarship! If you want to see this idea come to life, please show your support for *dA-ScholarsProject

. If the group becomes large enough and makes a petition, I'm sure dA admins will consider this new idea!!

So please show your support for *dA-ScholarsProject

. Visit their journal & news article ([link]) to learn more!!! Support the Future of Art!

I'm not doing anything special today though because it's raining like crazy right now >///< And this weekend is my university's "parent's weekend" so all my friends will be busy hanging out with their moms and dads. My birthday always comes at a bad time (rain, special events, Katrina/Rita) It's a curse I tell you lol >A<

So I really want a subscription ;A; But I'm in no position to spend any money (poor college student + still trying to pay off new tablet). So I will draw for a subscription; it can be the smallest one dA has (1 month??). I'll give you a fully colored piece D: So if you liked your gift sketch so much that you wished it was colored, give me a subby and it will happen * w * If you dont have a gift sketch and are just an admirer of my work, please go ahead and ask what you want me to draw in exchange for a subby ;A;

In other news, I'm still working on the gift sketches. I keep trying to get more and more creative with them thus they are taking way longer than 30 minutes lol. Uhm, still haven't worked on oni-con stuff. If you want an AA form, note me.

That's all~ Have a nice day guys :3

Well, for me, the first two weeks of school have come and gone so now my schedule is pretty set in stone. This semester is going to be pretty tough on me D: I'm taking 18 credit hours, TAing two courses, and semi-worrying about the MCAT. I still find time to hang out and stuff, but less and less time to draw for you guys ;A; Most of what I've drawn in the last week has been contour artwork for my drawing class. If anyone is interested in seeing my work for art class, let me know and I'll submit it :3

The worst part of not having time is that I can't play with my new Intuos3 tablet (Intuos4 is way too expensive for me D:..) It's a pleasant upgrade from my Graphire3. But since this is labor day weekend, hopefully I can work on some convention artwork for submission D: Ack sorry for not finishing the sketches! I need to work on that as well @A@...

Also if you're in Houston, TX on Halloween weekend, please come to Oni-con

we (~studioBOBA) will have a table in the Artist Alley!

Have a great Labor Day weekend guys!

San Japan was REALLY AWESOME. For a small con I had a LOT of fun. I only wish I could of explored the panels a bit more D:

08/13/09:

, my sister (

), and I left for San Antonio on Thursday 2 weeks ago at 6 am and arrived at about 9 am. Unfortunately I misread our check in time so we did check in until 3pm but AA set-up was a 2pm. We ended up killing time by just trying to find our way around downtown. Btw, San Antonio civil engineering is FAIL. WHY HAVE YOU GUYS ABANDONED THE AWESOME FEEDER ROAD SYSTEM?! D
Because we thought a lot of artists would show up early, we went to the municipal building (AA + Dealers room) at 12:30pm. There was no one there DX People didnt show up until about 3pm lol but we did kill time by making AWESOME FRIENDS!!! FROM THE NETHERLANDS. :3 We met Petra and Jeannetta, two volunteers who really made the con a blast for us. Here, go stalk Jeannetta (

When we finally checked in, we were out like a light DX (But then I woke up and pulled a near all-nighter to make the Vocaloid buttons @_@)

08/14/09:
Artist Alley opened at 9am and we were really amazed by all the wonderful booths! (I'm sorry I didnt take a picture of our booth. I totally forgot about it x///x!!) We were kinda in between

and

. I felt so unworthy to be in the same room as them! >///< But despite my inferiority, we did gather some customers! I love buttons now, they sold way better than I anticipated. I sold out of Lelouch and Death the Kid the first day and had to run around and print more lol DX We met Jazz (

), an awesome cosplayer FROM LAS VEGAS. It's funny because on the way to San Japan we were wondering if there were conventions in Las Vegas XD She had a BEAUTIFUL doll named sakura. She commissioned us for a sketch of her; I wish I had photographed it ; A ; We eventually adopted Jazz to our table and hung out all through the con

Second awesome batch of people we saw was Ryuu from Street Fighter and Scout from Team Fortress 2. In the words of mossi: "Our favorite guy cosplayers at the con. Super nice, and Mr. Ryu was super ripped! ([link]) One of the few cosplayers who can pull off a shirtless costume. Many props to him!

Scout was fun fun fun! He has a delightfully dry sense of humor, and we probably would have stalked them if we didn't need to stay at the table. Luckily, they made their way back over often enough!

!"

We're dead serious about the stalking LOL.

Friday Cosplayers include~
Hetalia:

[link]
[link] - SEALAND! OMG CUTEST LITTLE GIRL EVER!!! I am now a Sealand fan because of her

Pokemon:
[link] - CUTE HIKARI. LOVED HER COSPLAY SKILLZ.

I'm also really excited because San Japan 2.X will be the official debut of studioBOBA (~studioBOBA), a partnership between myself and ~mossi-mo. This will be my first convention outside of Houston and mossi's first ever Artist Alley table!

I'm so excited!!!! At first we were going to debut at Oni-con 2009 but it looks like there wont be an artist alley this year thus far =/ (I hope I'm wrong!!)

Those of you going to San Japan 2.X, please stop by our table

And if you arent going, wish us luck ^^ I'll post a recap with pics if possible :3

=nio-sama 5 Years on DeviantArt + 10 FREE SKETCHES http://nio-sama.deviantart.com/journal/26318355/ http://nio-sama.deviantart.com/journal/26318355/ Sat, 01 Aug 2009 13:06:54 PDT
Five years ago when I was about to enter high school I joined deviantart, an awesome art community I had never heard of until ~shiawase-chan told me about it! I've had the pleasure of seeing so many works by so many awesome artists! It's been very inspiring, making me want to take my art more seriously. I wish I had found this place in middle school. I would have joined art class there and continued into high school instead of doing and eventually dropping orchestra. You can forget how to play an instrument but you can never forget how to draw.

What I regret most these five years is my inconsistent activity. I have commented less than 2,000 times while there are deviants who have commented over 10,000 times in only a few months! I apologize ; A ; But please understand that just because I dont comment, doesnt mean that I dont click on your artwork! I should really try to make more friends here. I really want to create a family, a group of online artist friend :3 I've had five years to mess up; let's hope I do it right this time and stay active x__x'''

My watchers, sometimes I wonder why in the world you watch me x_x My "style" is nonexistent; the way I draw changes with each deviation (and the quality is far below others). I also dont do nearly as much fan art in the past D: I'm sorry if my work has become less appealing or entertaining! >_<''

To give back to you all, I'm offering the first 10 people to request me to draw anything they want. The drawing will be a 30-minute sketch (Ex: [link]). You can request anything but hentai/yaoi/yuri (boy love/girl love is okay).

Thank you for 5 years dA!!!

Mini Japanese Course æ¥æ¬èªã®ããã»ã¯ã©ã¹:
- nio nio's Japanese Proficiency Test:... ]]> =nio-sama Yesterday = Full of FAIL + Happy 4th!! http://nio-sama.deviantart.com/journal/25736328/ http://nio-sama.deviantart.com/journal/25736328/ Sat, 04 Jul 2009 13:57:04 PDT Edit: By the way, my dA birthday is less than a month away! (Aug 1st) I'll be turning 5 (so old and have nothing to show for it DX...) How should we celebrate? Please comment!

---

Okay so yesterday

and I went shopping for stuff for San Japan 2.X. We first went to Walmart to look at different yarn for her amigurumi crafts and to look for what kind of clothes could be useful in dressing up for San Japan (we need booth babes so we even recruited my little sister who's as thin as a j-rocker D:...). Walmart went off okay except all the clothes were crap for ideas so we went to Kohl's.

Well as I was parking, I went a little to far toward the curb and my tires hit it. No big deal right? Tires hit the curb all the time when you cant tell if you're far enough in. WELL the problem was I forgot that I was driving a Honda civic and not a Nissan rogue (small car vs mini SUV). Honda civics are HELLZ CLOSE to the ground so my front bumper got stuck on the curb ;_; When I tried to back up away from the curb, my bumper got partially torn off x__x'' There were no dents or anything. The sides of the bumper that connect to the rest of the vehicle near the lights were falling off (you could see the black metal under the car >_<...) At this point I'm freaking out, my sister is saying not to call dad, and ~mossi-mo is trying to get me to calm the f*ck down.

Luckily there was a Hobby Lobby in the same shopping complex, so we drive over there (omg the noise my car was making made me cry ;_;...) and buy some duck tape (which took forever to find, goddamn huge Hobby Lobby). A screw had broken off on the sides of the front bumper but you could still align the piece into place and keep it there without duck tape. It turned out that awful sound I was hearing while driving was the bumper for the undercarriage. We look under the car and that thing is just hanging a mere centimeters above the ground. So ~mossi-mo gets under there and tapes the bumper to keep it from dangling (Thanks girl; it takes a real friend to get on hot cement in 98 degree Texas weather and fix the undercarriage of your dirty car lol

).

So with the bumper fixed for now, we head over for dinner at Pei Wei and on the way I hear something under my car. Apparently, that cheap f*cking duck tape didnt hold and the entire undercarriage bumper went flying into the traffic behind us!!! X_X!!! (This is the second time that has happened to me with Honda small cars...!!!) No point going back for garbage so I keep driving while the other two wonder why they havent been killed yet as passengers to my driving lol.

The undercarriage of my car looks like crap since there's still pieces of duck tape dangling like spewed intestines. Somehow my dad didnt notice them this morning when he left for work. He hasnt questioned me at all about it x__x'' I told him about the front bumper sometime before Pei Wei but it seems like he doesnt care ...for now. OTL

I wonder what are the chances of me taking my car with me back to school.. ;_;

Happy 4th of July~

I've given this person about a week to remove this image, but she doesnt seem to understand English very well and my Spanish is awfully rough =/ Although I've reported the incident, dA doesnt usually respond in a timely fashion unless enough people make a fuss.

<... ]]> =nio-sama Clean Up http://nio-sama.deviantart.com/journal/25334460/ http://nio-sama.deviantart.com/journal/25334460/ Mon, 15 Jun 2009 17:24:33 PDT
You may see changes to my gallery over the next few days. I will be removing a lot of images simply because some are just too old and don't represent the art that is me today. It's kind of discouraging when people focus on the poorly drawn fanart I did before and not on the more-developed original stuff. I hope I don't lose any watchers over this. I'll still be doing fanart, I just want to clean out what isn't good anymore ^^

Anyway thank you for your support my active watchers!

--nionio

P.S. My job is taking more time than expected so I will only be committing myself to my webcomic, convention items, and commissions. If I promised you an art trade or gift, I will finish it so dont worry ^^

=nio-sama Japanese Mini Course - Lesson 1 Day 2 http://nio-sama.deviantart.com/journal/25021578/ http://nio-sama.deviantart.com/journal/25021578/ Fri, 29 May 2009 19:32:12 PDT (Previous Day: [link])

GRAMMAR

ã(mo) Â Topic Marker
Last time we learned that ã¯ (wa) can be used as a topic marker in a sentence. ã(mo) can also be used as a topic marker. ã(mo) is the equivalent to also or too. To use ã(mo) all you have to do is replace ã¯ with ã.

Examples:
å±±ä¸ããã¯å¦çã§ãã(Yamashita-san wa gakusei desu.) - Yamashita is a student.
ç°ä¸ãããå¦çã§ãã(Tanaka-san mo gakusei desu.) - Tanaka is also a student.
å±±ä¸ããã¯åçããããã¾ããã (Yamashita-san wa sensei ja arimasen.) - Yamashita is not a teacher.
ç°ä¸ãããåçããããã¾ããã (Tanaka-san mo sensei ja arimasen.) - Tanaka isnÂt a teacher either. OR Tanaka also isnÂt a teacher.

Quick Note: If you want to say Âme tooÂ just say I + ã(mo). Ex: ç§ãã(Watashi mo.); åãã(Boku mo.); To say ÂYou tooÂ use you + ã(mo). ãã¾ããã(Omae mo.); åãã (Kimi mo.)

Yes/No Questions

When answering a yes/no question, it is considered rude to just say ã¯ã/ãã(Hai/Ee) ÂYesÂ or just ããã(Iie) ÂNo.Â It is good to follow up with a reaffirming statement such as saying ÂYes, he is a student,Â instead of just saying ÂYes.Â Same goes for ÂNoÂ answers; use ÂNo, he isnÂt a student.Â

Quick Note: To give a positive response to a yes/no question, you can also use the phrase ãããããã§ãã(Ee, sou desu.) Sou is pronounced Âsohhh.Â The phrase is equivalent to ÂYes, that is so.Â

Question Words: ä½(nan/nani), èª°(dare), ã©ã(doko)

The question word ä½(nan) means what? , èª°(dare) means who?, and ã©ã(doko) means where? These question words are placed before the phrase ~ã§ãã (~desu ka).

Examples:
A: ãååã¯ä½ã§ããã(Oname wa nan desu ka.) - What is your name?
B: Bããã§ãã (B-san desu.) - (My name is) B.
A: åçã¯èª°ã§ããã(Sensei wa dare desu ka.) - Who is your teacher?
B: äºãªåçã§ãã (Nio-sensei desu.) - ItÂs Nio.
A: ãå½ã¯ã©ãã§ããã(Okuni wa doko desu ka.) - Which country are you from? OR the literal: Where is your country?
B: ã¢ã¡ãªã«ã§ãã(Amerika desu.) - America.

ã®(no) Â Modifying Nouns

The combination of noun1 + ã®(no) + noun2 has a variety of meanings, which result from the relationship between the first (modifying) noun and the second (modified) noun. The first noun, Ânoun1Â always does the modifying while the second noun Ânoun2Â is always the one being modified.

Examples:
ç§ã®åç (Watashi no sensei) - My teacher
äºãªåçã®å½ (Nio-sensei no kuni) - Teacher NioÂs country
æ¥æ¬ã®çå¦ç (Nihon no ryuugakusei) - The foreign exchange student from Japan
ç°ä¸ããã®åé (Tanaka-san no tomodachi) - TanakaÂs friend
åéã®ç°ä¸ãã (Tomodachi no Tanaka-san) - My friend Tanaka
æ¥æ¬ã®å±±ä¸ãã (Nihon no Yamashita-san) - Yamashita from Japan

ã®(no) can also join three or more nouns:
ã¢ã¡ãªã«ã®ãããµã¹ã®ã©ã¤ã¹å¤§å¦ (Amerika no Tekisasu no Raisu daigaku) - Rice University of Texas, USA

SCENARIO: How to introduce others

To introduce someone, simply use the phrase ãã¡ãã¯ãNAMEãã§ãã(Kochira wa NAME desu.) - This is NAME. It helps to state your relationship to the person in the introduction. The person who was introduced should then say their name and some form of ÂNice to meet you.Â

Examples:
A: ãã¡ãã¯åéã®Bããã§ãã (Kochira wa tomodachi no B-san desu.) - This is my friend B.
B: Bããã§ããã©ããããããã(B-san desu. Douzo yoroshiku.) - IÂm B. Nice to meet you.

Usually when introducing more than one person who is of the same social rank (i.e. same age, co-worker, etc.), you start with the person closest to you relationship-wise.

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

L1. Day 2 ASSIGNMENT

Please post your answers in this journal. Feel free to ask any questions or for more work :3

Make a sentence that has the following sets of nouns connected by ã®(no).
1) æ¾è¦å¤§å¦ã»å¦ç(Matsumi daigaku & gakusei)
2) ç§ã»åé (Watashi & tomodachi)
3) æ¨æåçã»è±èªã»å¦ç (Kimura-sensei, eigo, & gakusei) **è±èª(eigo) = English Language**
4) ç§ã»åéã»ãªãµ (Watashi, tomodachi, & Risa)

Give the appropriate response to the questions below with the information provided:

*Idea from =betrayal-and-wisdom

I'm redoing this challenge because I think I half-assed it earlier ^^''

2.) No time limit so have fun

3.) The main picture should be drawn but not limited to. For all fair purposes, people are allowed to use their paint programs and photoshop to create the pic.

3a.) Pics should be of own artistic ability. You may not edit photos, or break any other rules set out in the DA etiquette policy. Your pics can be anything from sketches and doodles to great master pieces. Just have fun with it.

4.) The list below is to be placed somewhere in your journal for others to see that...
A.)You are in the challenge
B.)What you have completed

5.) Make sure to update this list and check off what is done and make a link to the pic

L1. Day 1: Basic Speech

***Please note that it is IMPORTANT that you learn hiragana & katakana while taking this mini course. [link] Some things in Japanese are best explained when you can see and understand the characters***

GRAMMAR
~ã§ã(desu) Â pronounced ÂdessÂ THERE IS NO ÂTSUÂ AT THE END.

Desu (and da, the plain form of desu) is equivalent to English am/are/is. The negative form of desu is ja arimasen (ja nai is the plain form).

The neat thing about Japanese thatÂs different from romantic languages (like Spanish or French) is that you donÂt have to conjugate anything and words donÂt have Âgenders.Â In Spanish and French there are male and female version of a word Ex: "Little" is petit (male) and petite (female) in French. In English we conjugate a verb based on the noun. Ex: the verb Âto beÂ exists as ÂisÂ and ÂareÂ depending on if the subject is me, you, singular or plural. In Japanese, one word means all these same conjugations.

Examples:
å¦çã§ãã(Gakusei desu.) - (I/You/He/She) am/are/is a student. **Here the subject is not specifically stated.
å¦çããããã¾ããã(Gakusei ja arimasen.) - (I/You/He/She) am/are/is not a student. **Here the subject is not specifically stated.

To make a statement into a question, add ãka to the end of the sentence.
Example: å¦çã§ããã(Gakusei desu ka.) - Am/Are/Is (I/you/he/she) a student?

Quick Notes: There are no spaces when you write using the kana/kanji. I only use spaces for romanji because itÂs supposed to be in an English-like format. Also note that question sentences do NOT end with a question mark (?). Simply put, ã(ka) IS the question mark.

ã¯(wa) Â Topic Particle

Normally ã¯(ha) is pronounced ÂhaÂ like in ã¯ãã¿(harumi). BUT when ã¯(ha) is used as a TOPIC PARTICLE, it is pronounced Âwa.Â Note that it is NOT written like ã(wa) when used as a TOPIC PARTICLE. Also note that ã¯(wa) DOES NOT MEAN IS/ARE/AM. It is just an indicator of the topic. The closest translation for ã¯(wa,) for anyone who HAS to know what something translates to, is As for.

Examples:
ç§ã¯å¦çã§ãã(Watashi wa gakusei desu.) - As for me, I am a student.
ç§ã¯ãªã³ã§ãã(Watashi wa Rin desu.) - As for me, I am Lynn.
å½ã¯ãã¤ã¸ã§ãªã¢ã§ãã(Kuni wa Naijeria desu.) - As for my country, it is Nigeria.
å½ã¯ã¢ã¡ãªã«ããããã¾ããã(Kuni wa Amerika ja arimasen.) - As for my country, it isnÂt America.

FREEEEDOOOM, technically started Weds @ 2 pm! It's summertime~ (and 4 am in the morning... why am I awake?) I get one month of leisure and then I start research at the Texas Medical Center. So in this one month time I'm gonna try and finish 75% of my convention merchandise. This time I'm not making any prints; I'm just doing shrinky dinks and buttons/keychains. So I have a question: if you own a button machine, which brand is it/which brand do you recommend? I've been browsing around and the most popular ones I see are American Button Machines and Badge-a-Minit. ABM seems to be high quality but BAM is such a nice money saver, $100 cheaper than ABM... Which should I buy? >_<

Also has anyone used shrinky dinks before? It'd be nice if you could give me some tips/warnings before I purchase that too :3

=nio-sama Anime Matsuri '09 and Last Week of Classes! http://nio-sama.deviantart.com/journal/23532847/ http://nio-sama.deviantart.com/journal/23532847/ Thu, 23 Apr 2009 11:41:48 PDT [~Welcome to the World of nionio~]

[EDIT]: -New tablet pen came in today!!!! :3~
-One final down, three more to go~
-Last day of exams for nionio = Apr 28 [EDIT END]

Last weekend was Anime Matsuri up in the Woodlands, TX. It was SOOO much fun! Better than last year's! Even though Kamikazecon was the same weekend, I heard that it just doesn't compare to AM so I didn't go to that one (even though it was much closer). I had a table in the artist alley and met a lot of cool artists like

, and more.

There were a LOT of good cosplayers too. My absolute favorite was

. She had a kick ass Lelouch of Britannia costume (You need to post pictures girl!!! ;0;!!!).

Ah there was some drama though. I have a bad habit of losing cash (I now only carry cards), so I made my sister in charge of keeping track of the money we earned from artist alley. On Saturday morning we take a taxi back to the convention and when it's time to pay the driver, my sis can't find her wallet, the same wallet that she happened to put $100 of our profit in. I'm pissed, she's freaking out, and the driver is trying to calm us down. He offers to drive us back to our hotel room (technically not our room because we checked out that morning) for free. We get there just when the cleaning staff finds the wallet with no money missing :3 Thank goodness that was the worst of the weekend.

The concert guest, Miyavi, was okay in my opinion. His songs aren't bad, but his stand presence is powerful o_o. Pictures don't do him justice, he has a nice body, but his androgynous face is so alluring >_> I'm a fan of his looks not his music =_='' (how shallow...). From my understanding because of Miyavi, the dealer room sucked this year because dealers bought tables not with the intention of making a profit but rather to use their primary dealer passes to get front row-ish seats at the concert. Speaking of which I can't believe the line for the concert started like FOUR HOURS early! What else happened...

I HUGGED SO REAL CREW FROM AMERICA'S NEXT BEST DANCE CREW!!!!!!!!!

They are my FAVORITE dance crew because they're awesome and from Houston :3 It was funny because they were walking through artist alley and I didn't realize it was them at first. I read their T-shirts and thought they looked different from the fan T-shirts. So kinda talking under my breath I said, "Wait, the REAL so real crew?" And the group turned around and said "Hell ya!"

I screamed. I could have died happy right then and there

But I didn't instead I hugged them and praised them and worshiped them as they left the artist alley

I'm so glad I went to Anime Matsuri. It reaffirmed my love for good art, people, and anime/manga. I now really wanna try and double major in Biochemistry & Cell Biology and Visual/Studio Arts (Biochem&Cell Bio is one major). I also now want to go to a TON of conventions this year. I can't go to Akon 20 (too expensive), but I'll be at San Japan and maybe Anime Overload and AnimeFest (does AnimeFest have an artist alley...?).

So with the conclusion of that AWESOME weekend came the horrible last week of classes. Why so bad? Because I had THREE EXAMS (Physics, Organic Chem, and Japanese; each worth about 20% of my grade in their respective classes) and used my only weekend for studying to instead go to AM'09 XDXDXD I think I've had like less than 16 hours of sleep for the entire week (why am I writing now x_x...) But it's Friday now! No more classes! Just finals! Only 2 more weeks and then summer vacation~

BTW, I won 3rd place in

That's why I have this nice subscription :3

[...~Welcome to the World of nionio~...]

EDIT: 10k kiriban is coming~ Catch it and you get a request pic~ The goal is before Xmas!!!

whoa...I haven't updated in a while...XD

Okay um hmm..I hope you all had an awesome thanksgiving because mine royally sucked >_<

I had no power for the whole damn week. I couldn't use my tablet and draw much needed x-mas pics ;0; im behind ._. 105 messages...

speaking of x-mas i need money for gifts ;_; so im opening commissions and taking requests from friends~ info is below in "nionio Drawings"

I drew so much in my sketchbook~ i should scan... aw wait..my internet is down at my house (using school comp) dammit...

I saw Happy Feet, very cute movie with tons of pervy jokes and songs and some mocking of blacks and hispanics XD~ but it's all good fun

argh school work is slowing me down in coloring stuff...finals are coming in like 2-3 weeks, getting back PSAT scores soon (hope i got national merit), u.s. history is killing me ;_;

on another note, I have been youtube obsessed (before thanksgving) over Demashitaa! Powerpuff Girls Z and Shakugan no Shana~ I'm gonna draw PPG art (lol) and some shanaxyuji (Yuji is such a pansy but he completes shana ^_^')

I want FF XII for christmas @_@ I know it's out now but I can't get it ;-; Ha jojo needs to come over and play Narutimate Hero 2...>D

i'm gonna do a DA survey one of these days...

gotta go and write essays and outlines ;_;~

First of all Happy 6 Years DeviantArt! May you have many more!
But you sure did choose a weird layout to kick off your new year (as *nekokawai puts it, we look like some lazy ass coder working for sheezyart.com)

DA v5!
Pros:
-new look

(but at a sacrifice!)
-mini icons in shout box XD
-better preview of a deviant's gallery
-random deviant/deviation buttons
-community mood survey (LOL)
-easier browsing

Cons:
-YOU CAN'T READ WRITERS WORKS (omg the world has ended for DA writers as they know it @_@!! dont leave writers i'm sure correcting this error is on the DA admins to-do list ^_^''' -clings to *Koeryn-)
-UGLY HUGE FONTS. We just look less professional and more sheezyart.com
-Lack of decent buttons
-Slower loading time
-Recategorization of galleries and the retaliation of intentional miscategorization of artwork!
-Thumbshare broken...;_;
-Forum posts appearing as comments (it's annoying but not too much of a big deal ^^'')

On another note:
If it hasn't been brought to your attention yet, DA has given anime/manga art its own category due to the huge amount of anime/manga style artists. Great right? Well not really.

After anime/manga it's basically split into digital/traditional and drawings/fan comics/fan art/oekaki. All original art can only be filed under drawings. This is a problem because one drawing can simply not be assumed as the same as another just because the instant assumption of style is anime/manga. For example, if you draw a fantasy art (like King Arthur and the Round Table themed) versus sci-fi art (Like Ghost In The Shell themed, not fan art) it's all clumped together. Heck I'm trying hard to blend more realism into my anime/manga style (like Magna Carta-ish) but it's really/going-to-be a letdown knowing that the realistic effort will overlooked and no different than cell-shaded 3-colors-a-body-part art. The new categorization is simple for the browser but a bit insulting to artist.

I guess what I am getting at is that the anime/manga art section needs more subcategories. Normally i would just send a friendly note to the admins, but apparently since the admins had banned anime off the front page once and that it took a lot of complaints/rioting/tantrums to restore such artwork, admins wont simply appease the complaints of anime/manga artists so easily. Why? I dunno but it's widely assumed that it's to not upset other artists who accuse the anime/manga art style of stealing pageviews. But that's another story.

Maybe the anime/manga artists of the DA community are making a big deal over a simple, insignificant change, but i believe for many of my fellow anime/manga artists "it's not a matter of subcategories. It's that they [DA admins] think Anime/Manga art can be so limited. I don't want every piece of my art to be called "Anime/Manga" just because it is in that style." (quote ~zejeni)

EDIT: SAME ISSUES WITH ANTHRO ART AND CARTOONS/COMICS

I don't care if you're pro or con this journal entry but i do want to hear what you're thinking. Please freely reply to this thread with your thoughts/opinions (without looking like idiot flamers).

As seen on =budgie's entry:
If you think your art is being forced into something you believe it isn't, say something. Link the journal, make a stamp, post a forum. If we make enough commotion, someone has to listen, but you're only as loud as the noises you make.

Mood: Busy

stressed and lazy ha
Listening to: "Diamonds Sierra Leone" - Kanye West
Reading: Nectar in a Sieve by Kamala Markandaya
Watching: Gundam Seed Destiny

Hmm just done watching eps 1 and 2 of liscenced Naruto on CN's Toonami..

First off i really didn't like the intro music opening. The clips were just cut and pasted together with no real connection unlike the original intro =_= I also didnt like the music altogether...it wouldnt hurt to just play the intro in japanese, right/ =_=;;
Moving onto voices. I don't like Naruto's or Sakura's voices, they were too...nasally? Hopefully the voices will change and sound more normal in later eps (like around 13). I also heard Kakashi's voice, even though it was short i didnt like it. was really...east coastern? Not really gonna comment on anyone else's voices in those 2 eps...i'll just accept it
Eh what pissed me off were all the commercials(short but several)...which indicates some deletion (dunno what scene may have been deleted, i read first 13 episodes and watched to 50...) Boo!! They cut out the nosebleeds!! It was innocent blood...battle wound blood...
I didnt like the ending credit music or clips either. It should have just been left in japanese...

im still gonna watch the series just to sufice<--(spelling?) my curiosity for the 1st 13 eps.. than i'll watch if the series exceeds 50...sigh so disappointing...shoulda just gone to adult swim...

umm...err...v-V'' one of them is a cooking project (HAHA! LYNN COOK? MAY AS WELL SLIP YOU SOME POISON~!!!) =.='''' yesh...cooking...not in home ec...it's for French II...
A 5-course french meal, all family must eat and critique (BOO~!), and make a pretty book w/photos of the experience (more like experiment~!!) ><''

Mom: so how much are you going to bribe me to help you with this meal?

Me: I can guarantee you, Mommy(yesh i call her mommy, gotta problem? ><''), you will be the LAST person I even consider asking for help. =.='''

Mom: *insert hysterical, my-stomach-hurts-so-much laughter*

I said this. Why? I'm too proud and stubborn v.v''

But because of my "funny" remark, if the meal is to mommy's liking, she'll get me an Intuos3 tablet for Christmas...

SCORE

Turned in stupid science fair proposal (im working with gases i hope i dont blow myself up >_>;; )
Medical Science stuff.....v.v;; hella paper work
Geometry...we think our teacher might be a guy from AMW >_> ;;;
English...holy crap what a slave driver x-X;;;
(joy, i may be bringing my homework to your b-day party X3)

um..er..hmm...i have so many things i want to cg v_v;; not enough time >w<;;

ooh!!! next year im quitting orchestra as a credit class and taking art >_> (bwehehe yeah i know it's about time i quit and join art v-v)
but at the same time im not quitting cause i can take orchestra as non-credit >___>;; (it'd be like a weird orchestra-teamtime, like in middle school) and my mom isnt wasting money on my instrument v.v

joy, am i starting to draw like clamp? o_______o;; or was that just an out-of-the-blue compliment? ;.;!! I really want a drawing style combination of Clamp and Yuu Watase >_>;;

wahh i want cg tips (not tutorials, i know how to layering stuff and other neat little tools)
i have a hard time highlighting hair but i can easily do shading (why is that?)

anyway im interested as to how anyone highlights hair and clothes etc what tool(s) do you use? do you make a separate layer for each and every color (including highlight/shade colors)? or do you make separate ones for every main color, lock the layer, and shade inside of it?

T.T i really wanna improve on my digital art~ i sketch/slash draw fine but i color like..um..like crap XD (is it me or is it psp7? i just don't know T.T)

...i need to draw men more often v.v;;

yay 300+ pageviews!! that's over a hundred a month X3

enough of my art rambling XD!!

yesterday was joy's b-day

if you know what's good for you, you'll go wish her a happy belated b-day before i shear your head off!!
