I'm working, really, I am. Considering looking more into traditional art. Does anyone know if colleges have a preference when it comes to portfolios? C:

...Yeah I know none of you listen to the kooks.

So, you might think I've been slacking. But that's a lie. I just never post things on DA.... which may be a form of slacking.

I'm pretty into INTENSE IMPROVING right now. ;D My current study is THE EYE and how to make it look LESS FLAT. Someday I hope to be worthy of having fans.

...Because looking back at everything I've ever done here... I wouldn't blame you all for hating me if you do. It's always been pageviews and who's popular and who's winning contests and that's stupid. I should be drawing and improving because it's what I love to do and it's what I need to do and because maybe someday I will have FANS who might CARE ABOUT ME. ;D

...makes me think back to my debut on FF.net way back when. I had some people who were really into my writing and I let them down all the time. ;[ Broke all my promises and didn't try my hardest... You guys, any fans I may have or may someday have... You deserve better than that.

And so I've apologized for having been 12 at one point and hope to grow up. ;D FIGHTO. <3

I was just watching that dying guy's lecture. Randy Pausch. And I keep thinking about all the people around me who tell me I should make video games... (Well, half of them were trying to recruit me to work on their team as the artist...(sadly, unprofessional people. If I had a professional offer I'd jump for it. Haha.)) ...and then I have the resources. I have a million ideas, and I'm an artist and my girlfriend's an artist and my best friend's an artist, and my father's a programmer and my brother's a programmer and this person I admire and have contact with is a programmer... and all of these people are encouraging me to just walk up to them one day and say "I have an idea, let's get started."

So that's what I'm doing. I mean, it's not like I've never thought about it before. I have three well drawn out ideas because it's always sort of been in the back of my head. Right now, I'm working on concept sketches that my advisor (read : my only friend who's online right now) said would be the best game out of my ideas.

...so don't expect to see any games with Alee as the art team leader any time soon. :[ But someday. Someday you'll pick up a box and it'll be there, in tiny letters on the back of the box in the credits area, or in the manual you don't read. It'll be there.

Yeah so I've gotten into digital painting lately. c: Jen denies it's painting in any way, but if you ask me, it is. D< Lineless is pretty hard. Mostly just the nose. The nose gets me. And bows and ties and other stuff...

(maybe I suck at painting?)

...also I found an oekaki. I mean, one that I like. xD But I won't share with you kittens because then you'll go there and it won't be a nice small community like I like. :c

...still no new comicide. I'm not sure if I'll give up yet. I have some ideas for new comics and I think I could draw it a little better... except Jen gets all insulted because most of my ideas don't involve her persona. :/ [it's not my faulltttt...]

Isn't it sort of funny that on your little homepage the buttons around "update journal" are all shopping...? Well, some brainfood for you there.

I haven't started working on the next comicide yet. Haha. I'm not really in a drawing mood right now. But I still hope the next one will be better. Or at least cuter.

I want to find a new oekaki. Yeah, my pchat days are drawing thin and I want to find a nice solid community of biased people who only archive their friends. (Haha, too bad Hound Oekaki went down. Even though I didn't draw furries like most of them, they were a lot nicer to me than most oekakis.) At least I'll be able to understand the praise better. :]

Bye-bee~

First it was that I didn't like the pressure of dA/commissions. That is, how you have to be the best, with the biggest numbers. I like goals and striving to be the best I can be as much as the next person, but there are some things that shouldn't have numbers attatched. (Love and art, for two.)

Now I feel guilty. Jen worships my art like it has the power to let the blind see... and keeps saying how terrible hers is... We were going to open an joint art trade shop on Gaia, but she doesn't want everyone to want a trade with me instead of her. "Second best", as she says. So like, what? I'm sorry I spend time on my drawings and try to make them look good while you make 5 second sketches that you never even color?


I'm not angry at anyone... I just feel like maybe I should grow up to be a programmer like my daddy wants... (even though it's like the most boring shit ever. D|)

My computer, she still suffers. I'm still having that constant resetting problem. The problem is a faulty driver, although I do not know which. My father thinks it is the Ethernet. He has reinstalled it, but I think it's still having issues. No reset, yet, but it's still got this internet lag. (I have zero internet connection for the first ~2 minutes my computer is on. My father says this is a strange problem he has never heard of before. That scares me a bit; did I tell you he works as a computer programmer?) So I don't know. It hasn't caused any huge problems with this new motherboard yet (I mean, it hasn't even reset in the middle of one of my drawings yet. That's good.) but resetting and overheating was the problem my last motherboard had before it died...

Not so much to say for the art world. Unless you want my latest rant about my art teacher and how she's annoying. ("It's too confusing, it makes me ask too many questions.")

There were a lot of "participators" but like 99% of them broke vow by lunch period. Losers. (I know I broke, but I got quiet again, they just gave up.)

I was not told to take off the mask, even during the test, to my surprise. I am going to get a crappy grade on an English project, though. We were supposed to be doing an oral presentation today. I refused. It's funny; this chick yelled at me for refusing, she's like "I took a vow too!!1!!!" So you gave up, you wouldn't fight to the end, and that is supposed to make me give up why? Looooser. (Okay, I admit, I really just don't like the chick who told me that. She's a "lesbian" dating a boy. :/ I think she's an attention-whore.)

Hmm. I did some doodles today during lunch to keep myself occupied. Maybe I let you see later. Hmhm.

But it's midnight, and I'm tired. Hoo~

I got an allergy mask and put a big red heart over my mouth area. I don't know if they'll let me wear it, but I'm just taking a 3 hour long test, and then going to English and Science. I doubt it'll even be a problem. If they yell at me... I'll probably just take them to court or something. Haha.

So yeah, I'm also probably not going to be on the computer tomorrow, since technically that would mean I'm not silent. Yeah. (I mean, I talk to people online a lot so...)

What's DoS?
Eh. Day of Silence. Google it, it'll explain it better than me.

I feel really... gender confused. Ahaha. I found myself staring at a guy's bum recently and I'm like "Hmm... I wonder if that makes me gay..." and then it hit me. I'm not a boy. Woah. Am I the only person who's felt like this, am I crazy for feeling like an alien in my own body? D:

Ohyeah. I found the Sims. It was.... right where it was supposed to be. Which naturally, is anything but the first place I check. I cleaned my whoooole room, to finally find it... in my desk drawer. (Well, it was under Pheonix Wright. I probably ran over it once(like with my eyes...) without noticing it. Haha.)

-
Big projects on a teeny tiny hold again so I can do this super-annoying painting. Except AIN, which, if Jen would remember I exist, would be getting done. (She helps me make decisions because no one else wants to listen to my dumb story. Ahaha.)

I really wanted to play The Sims today. Really really badly. Except the CD has mysteriously disappeared. Hmmm.

Uhm. Big stuffs.
-AIN. I did some edit work on the second chapter so the talking doesn't sound retarded. You can't say I've done nothing.
-Anything else. Yeah. I've done nothing.

I know you would think that with all this freetime I'd have gotten something done... But I nap and play DS and read... I mean, in all honesty.

So no updates on the project... But I recommend "Hurt go Happy" by Ginny Rorby for anyone interested in deaf people or chimps/animal rights. I liked it. 'Cept I cried at the end. ;~;

(Do you know what kind of musical withdrawl I'm going through this week? I haven't heard anything decent in...)

We're working on buying a new motherboard, we went out and got a new processor... So if I get the motherboard, we'll be okay, my dad'll put together a new computer. (Yeah, all my memory will be gone, but I really don't see how it could be worse right now.)

I'm on my little sister's computer right now. It's midnight. She's pretty possessive of her compu, so I have to wait until she's asleep... Hahaa. Well uhm. Better get off the computer before someone comes and yells at me.

;~~; Sorry. Hope things get fixed soon and I get back on track.

-RIP Leviathan-

I've gotten a couple of drawings done recently. If my art project wasn't hanging over my head, I'd do another chibi. |D (Those take like 5 hours compared to 1 hour for the 4-color oekaki)

----------------
Project P - another halt. Harr.
AIN - hit a roadblock. Do have about 2 solid chapters though.

Today was my brother's birthday. He's *20* years old. Crazy, my brother's one year away from legal drinking. (He's already had wine with our parents though...) It makes me feel really little to have a brother who's 5 years older than me. But I guess my sister has it worse. 8 years between them. Heh.

Haven't gotten much done on my big projects... but can you blame me? |D

I am working on a piece currently (that got bumped to the top of my list because I'm being paid), though, and it should be done this week. I also did a different commission, but I'm not sure I want to post it. :<

My projects:
ProjectP - I donno. Thinking about just skipping a step.
AIN - *w* I found the other half of the second chapter finally. I should be able to continue. 8D (2 chapters)

]]> ~princealee http://princealee.deviantart.com/journal/12006480/ http://princealee.deviantart.com/journal/12006480/ Wed, 28 Feb 2007 20:50:54 PST
Soyeah. But you might be pleased to know, on my bigger projects that I list at the bottom, I have been doing a little bit. Like I got a bit more of AIN done, and I'm taking a new direction on projectP (which is technically... a-progress? er, the opposite of.)

Anduhm. I guess so I don't look like I'm doing nothing... I'll list my smaller projects too.

small:
projectprincess - uuuuh. 5%? 8D"
projectcolour - 40%
projectyanoki - 10%

big:
AIN - ~2 ch done (still.need.editor.D: )
ProjectP - ~10%

I passed all my classes! Yay~ <3 (Okayokay, I got a 70 in History. A flat 70. Still passing, though.) Now mommy won't blow up and I probably won't have to go to summer school.

Today I finished PW:AA:JFA. (That's uhm... Phoenix Wright, the second one.) It was a beautiful ending and all... but I feel so empty and goal-less now. Haha~ I guess I'll have to find a new game to play.

;~~; Maple isn't going too well. I'm like at 70%, but training is so sloow. At level 33, most of the quests are impossible until level 40. |D I guess I'll just have to do boring training then... ((If you didn't know, PrinceAlee of Windia is my only active character. ))


And uhm... my projects, yeah.
ProjectP - 15%... and probably not going to get much further...
AIN - 1.5 chapters written. I still need help... More than "That's a cool story, Alee." Actual critique. ;~~; Help me?

Yeah, I haven't really gotten much further on anything... but I've been busy lately getting those grades up to passing~. (Whee, extracredit?)

Until next update... owo" Alee OUT~ <3

I've gotten started really working on things... (Well, hey, I have motivation.) so I thought it time to start a new name, and a new legacy~.

Projects:
Valentines07 - 100% - buggy - [link]
AIN - ??% - ~2 chapters written *
ProjectP - 10%

*(if you'd like in on this project, drop me a line. I could use someone to edit and in general confer about my story with.)

I know it's not much, but I do need to work on my grades a bit. Heh. (When the IPR came out, I was failing four out of eight classes. I know at least one of those I've gotten back up though. O; )
