T_T It's a doujin that retells FF7 as if Zack survived and became the main character...it's really amazing. *_* I found it scanlated here: <a href="http://community.livejournal.com/finalfantasy_dj/6571.html">[link]</a> Uhmm yeah. Suffice to say I feel inadequate because a new RP of mine is based on the same premise except with more details about Crisis Core thrown in, and I'm afraid it won't turn out as good as this! XD<br /><br />(suffice to say this doujin is the only time I've given in to the urge to yell "I LOVE YOU SEPHIROTH" out loud and now I'm mortified and disappointed in myself. XD It makes you feel really bad for him, though. GRR HUMANIZING VILLAINS WHO DOES THAT *coughcoughCrisisCorecoughcough*)<br /><br /><b>EDIT 2:</b> Eh I'm exhausted and going to bed. Tablet results are so far: I installed the driver from the official website instead and replaced the pen nib, which improved the smoothness of strokes but now the cursor jumps to a fixed spot at the beginning an end of strokes. I'm not sure whether it's the stylus or the tablet itself, but I'm not sure I want to spend $10 and shipping for a new stylus just to find out. I might as well just buy a new, nicer tablet altogether...but ah, money is short T_T there's no way I can afford a Wacom. And I don't think I'll get another one of these if I can get something nicer that'll be more of an asset once I'm in school.<br /><br /><br /><br />I should really be asleep right now, but I'm not. Hah.<br /><br />Well, there's always good with the bad, I suppose...and the bad is temporary, but it doesn't stop it from getting on my nerves.<br /><br />I got into school for the fall! Off to college <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />Anddd my new computer came the other day. :> I gushed a bit about her on my LJ, but I'm still sorting things out...my brother hooked up my old harddrive and I can view my files, but apparently I can't transfer or edit any of my pictures for some reason. Next time he's over I'm going to ask him to help me sort it out.<br /><br />I downloaded a trial version of Photoshop CS2 while Im waiting to get a proper imaging program in the meantime, in hopes of finally channeling my frustration at not being able to do digital art for months into something really nice for once, but my tablet decided not to behave. I misplaced the CD it came with so I had to download the driver, but for some reason the cursor jumps upward in fits and starts and makes it altogether impossible to use. I'm not really sure what's wrong. Without the driver it didn't do that, but the pen pressure didn't work and the screen proportion was off, so it wasn't any better...<br /><br />My attempts to draw anything end up looking like this: <a href="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc126/awesomebox/tabletFAIL.jpg">[link]</a><br /><br />Pretty cool if you're into abstract, I guess, but it's just frustrating for me. -_-<br /><br />I did at least scan some of the more recent stuff from my sketchbook and post it on my <a href="http://community.livejournal.com/terrafying/4618.html#cutid1">sketchblog</a>. (pssst there's some LeonCloud if you need convincing to click.)<br /><br />In the meantime, I splurged on some Crisis Core doujinshi, so I scanned the covers for fun. :> <a href="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc126/awesomebox/overturecover.jpg">Overture</a> and <a href="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc126/awesomebox/refresh2cover.jpg">refreshments vol.2</a>. Someday I'm going to scan a bunch of the doujinshi I own properly, but in the meantime, <a href="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc126/awesomebox/AWW.jpg">have something ridiculously cute.</a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

And guess what? It won't load...-_- I think I need the newest version of Flash or something, but this is just a guest account and I don't have the priviledges to install it...lame. Very lame. Why the heck is SE so damn exclusive about their trailers anyway? Aren't trailers advertisements? Shouldn't they be seen by as many people as possible?<br /><br />Ooh, stumbled on my own 15,000 pageviews. Whee.<br /><br />I've been roleplaying/drawing so much Genesis/Sephiroth lately that I went through Leon/Cloud withdrawl. XDDD It is forever my OTP, I guess. I should do that yaoi meme or something. ...once I have a working computer again. T_T<br /><br />Gotta finish up my costumes for Portcon...two and a half days left...ahh what is wrong with me, wasting time on the internet.<br /><br />I'm doing Crisis Core Zack. :> <a href="http://mame-inu.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/m/a/mame-inu.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconmame-inu:" title="mame-inu"/></a> was gonna be my Aerith but then she bailed out (boo) and decided to do Genesis instead. (yay! XD ) I have to finish her coat for her (vinyl is eeeevil) and she's styling my wig. <3 I forsee some Genesis/Zack in the future....lol. With cosplay any pairing goes. (*throws <a href="http://sora-na.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/o/sora-na.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconsora-na:" title="sora-na"/></a> in as Luke from ToA* Crossover! 8D )<br /><br />Part of me wants to just ditch <a href="http://sakurabatou.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/a/sakurabatou.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconsakurabatou:" title="sakurabatou"/></a> and make this my main account. *sprawls on desk* Probably because I have 1,000+ messages over there.<br /><br />This'll probably be my last journal entry till I get back from the con. See you guys then~<br /><br /> ]]></description>

XD<br /><br />Man, I love being blonde but I need a change...after I dye it brown for my Elfe cosplay I'm thinking of going dark red or something...I've always wanted red hair...or maybe something crazy like green or pink, though that might be bad for my new job...XD<br /><br />*sprawls on desk* I had something else funny to say but it's completely escaped me now.<br /><br />FSTs are pretty awesome because they introduce me to new music.<br /><br />Must...concentrate....

T_T Other than more yaoi coming soon? (and hopefully some yuri too...)<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Because the other day, TWO spiders fell from the ceiling onto my keyboard. Now, I like spiders, they eat mosquitoes, but having one suddenly go THUNK right next to your hand is not a pleasant experience. And now I keep thinking they're crawling on me whenever I get itchy. >.< <br /><br />(PLUS THE OTHER NIGHT THERE WAS THIS...beetle thing IN MY BED between the sheets. IDK. My house is usually clean, and the sheets had just been changed. I'd say my brother was playing a prank on me but he's too busy playing World of Warcraft.)<br /><br />Ugh spiders WHYYYY<br /><br />Uhh wow, I got sidetracked.<br /><br />Tomorrow I have to crack down and get my college applications done so I can have my computer back permanently...so I must not allow myself to be distracted...hopefully I can get back to work by next week though.<br /><br />So yeah, I haven't been online a lot lately, which is why I haven't gotten back to everyone's comments, but I WILL, I promise. >.< I'm happy that everyone liked the fic, even though I was considering it a place filler....I should write more. Writing was my thing before I got any good at drawing. Maybe I should do that fanfic meme that's floating around.<br /><br />And this is a bit random, but...would anyone be interested on drawing a short story for a Crisis Core compliation doujinshi? I have no idea when it would happen, probably not until summer or so, but just throwing the idea out there, since =<a class="u" href="http://mame-inu.deviantart.com/">mame-inu</a> and I have been discussing the idea, and I thought it would be neat, like those video game anthology comics they publish for the Tales games.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Seriously. Especially the ones who act like they know everything when they don't.<br /><br />Squall Leonhart is the protagonist of Final Fantasy VIII. He's 17, has short brown hair and a long-sleeved jacket. He's introverted, doesn't talk much, had a messed up childhood and oodles of teenage angst.<br /><br />Leon is the leader of the Hollow Bastion (Radiant Garden) Restoration Committee in Kingdom Hearts. He has long hair and short sleeves in both 1 and 2, and though in 2 his jacket resembles his FF8 one more, there are very specific differences in his character design. While still a bit aloof, he's older (25) more mature, and has a warm, protective side that he often shows to Sora and his other friends.<br /><br />Same character, DIFFERENT PEOPLE.<br /><br />Different because Kingdom Hearts is essentially an AU. Squall grew up with different people, had different experiences and though certain aspects of him are the same, it's nature versus nurture. He turned out differently.<br /><br />I love both incarnations of his character. What I don't like is people getting elitist over one or the other. WHO GIVES A DAMN? Seriously. Squall is Squall and Squall in Kingdom Hearts is Leon. Call him whatever you like but what's the point in getting worked up about the name other people decide to use? It's not like one or the other is incorrect. Geez.<br /><br />And it wasn't Disney, it was SQUARE ENIX who changed his name in KH. As far as I know, they handled most of the production. It was probably Nomura himself. Don't fscking question Nomura. XD;<br /><br />This is not directed at anyone on my watchlist, obviously, because I think by watching me you'd all be informed of such things already. XD;<br /><br /> ]]></description>

My day was made. My awesome guy friend Joe, who is cosplaying Kuja from FF9, lulz, asked me if I was going to the ball at the con on Friday. I had been planning to go, but was a bit unenthusiastic because none of my other friends were. I just wanted an opportunity to wear my fabulous Wallmarket Cloud cosplay. XD And he said he'd go with me as SeeD uniform!Squall. I could have kissed him XDD<br /><br />Straight guy who is not only cool with yaoi, but my OTP, wins many internets.<br /><br />*skips off*<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Which means my PSP + Crisis Core will have to be put off too. *cries*<br /><br />Uhm. Completely irrelevant. I kind of forgot why I'm writing this journal in the first place, I feel like I had something important to say... XD;;;<br /><br /><br />OH RIGHT. Okay. I decided to make a list of obligations besides the one of my regular account.<br /><br />To do:<br />AkuRoku for <a href="http://gelb.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/e/gelb.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icongelb:" title="gelb"/></a> (art trade)<br />several things LxC for ~<a class="u" href="http://hanae0711.deviantart.com/">hanae0711</a> that I owe her since forever. And for writing me a fic.<br /><br />...that's all I can think of right now. >.> ;<br /><br />I'm maybe 30% done with the next page of Lead and Follow. I managed to cut out a page by condensing panels; I often draw really big panels, maybe 3-5 per page, and that's good for scenery intros or dramatic moments, but it makes story progression really slow...<br /><br />I also managed to storyboard some pages I was missing. Most of the doujin has been sketched out, but there are still a few scenes I have only in script form, so. It's going to be, like, suicide by Cloud's KH1 outfit, but it'll be worth it, I hope. XD; I actually feel good about it because I'm learning to push the boundaries of what I can do.<br /><br />OKAY.

Mostly Leon/Cloud.||<br />|<a href="http://proximity-nine.deviantart.com/journal/12063202/">Intro and FAQishness</a>|<a href="http://sakurabatou.livejournal.com">My LJ</a>|<a href="http://te-ashi.livejournal.com">My projects blog (fanfiction, etc)</a>|<a href="http://mame-inu.deviantart.com">My partner in crime~</a>|<br /><br />So, I finally updated my <a href="http://yaoi.y-gallery.net/user/proximitynine/">y!gallery</a> with what I feel is my best work, and I got some comments right away...it made me feel very happy to see how kind people are over there. Sound silly, I know, but...XD Everyone's been really friendly so far. I was talking to *<a class="u" href="http://gelb.deviantart.com/">gelb</a> about it, and she asked if I meant they were friendlier than the people here on DA, and I thought about it...<br /><br />I guess my impression was so positive because y! is a place specifically for yaoi, whereas here on DA there's always a good chance some jerk will come along and object to the content of my work...that's not to say there aren't plenty of nice/awesome people; my watchlist being an example! ( <3 you guys) I always think about how lucky I am; I've only gotten bothered once or twice in a minor way, and it was solved very quickly by just hiding the offensive comment. But looking at how often popular artists get hurtful comments on their work...and then people angrily jump to their defense, and it turns into ridiculous drama and insult flinging. Honestly, I think the best way to deal with such a situation would be to not reply and ignore the person, and wait for the artist them self to hide the comment. Because honestly, such people are just looking for the attention and drama. So don't let them have the satisfaction! Really.<br /><br />*sighs* It's just upsetting to me that people can't just get along...move on...there are plenty of things that I've seen on DA that I've found offensive; that's why I keep the mature content filter on so I can read descriptions before I click. It's just so immature not to be able to handle something in a rational way. <br /><br />/rant<br /><br /><br />...that said. Hrm. Other things. I've been a bit AWOL lately, I know. Things have been a bit crazy. I've got a lot of work to do + preparing for Anime Boston in March. I haven't abandoned any of my projects; I've just been taking a bit of a break. I've also been catching up on pending requests that have been hanging around for a long time now. So there will be updates; I'm just not sure what they'll be, specifically. I want to get back to work on Lead and Follow, but I just haven't been feeling the vibe lately...ah, I don't know. I should stop making up excuses. We'll see.<br /><br />And as for the bit of fangirling--I'm very detail-oriented, if people haven't noticed already. XD And I tend to pride myself in knowing the small things about the fandoms I'm involved in. So when I see other people noticing the same things, it makes me squee. XD<br /><br />The motorcycle fight scene at the beginning of Advent Children--Yazoo shoots Cloud's shades off, and I guess the bullet or whatever gives him a cut across his eyebrow. Later on, you can actually see the scar it left when there are close-ups of his face...So I've been drawing Cloud with said scar (he matches Leon now lol) especially in my roleplay work. But honestly--I thought I was the only person who noticed it. Until I come across a <i>cosplayer</i> who, if I'm not mistaken, went to the effort of drawing on the scar! And then, <a href="http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc126/awesomebox/ctpuppy.jpg">fanart!</a> Needless to say, I am a happy fan. (and a dork)<br /><br />....I never wear makeup, but my store was having a cosmetic sale so I got a lipliner pencil for drawing on scars for cosplay purposes. It works nicely. XD<br /><br /> ]]></description>

(I have nothing against it, I'm just not really into it) And. AHAHAHAH. I feel slightly pathetic.<br /><br />(besides most of it being all depressing and Cloud angsting) Well, the earring thing I did in A Day Like This...Yubinbasya's "Died in Your Arms" did it before me. XD (2006) I feel uncreative now. I mean, it wasn't exactly the same thing, but...close.<br /><br />At the same time, I'm happy that other fans are concerned with the FF guys' earrings like I am? XD (*is totally into such stupid little insignificant details*)<br /><br /><br />Uhmmm yeah. There was another point to this. That is to say, I got a y!gallery, proximitynine, but nothing's up there yet...I felt like nothing I have up here besides what I'm doing now (Lead and Follow) is at a quality I'm satisfied with for reposting. And I have to wait for chapter 2 to post it there, and only put up every other chapter because no female main characters. >.> (I guess it is half a shoujo-ai doujinshi after all...) It'll be readable with just the LeonCloud chapters, but...it has to be a whole to make complete sense, so maybe I'll link it back here...(though technically, the chapters can each stand alone.)<br /><br />I really...want to post something, but have no time to finish a full illustration right now...maybe I'll put up my WiPs in scraps.<br /><br />Nearly 300 comments to reply to, and 700+ on my regular account. Bahhhh. I always end up procrastinating so much that when I do reply I feel stupid for replying a month late. >.><br /><br /><br /><u>Lead and Follow</u><br /><a href="http://proximity-nine.deviantart.com/art/Lead-and-Follow-cover-64194583">Cover</a><br /><a href="http://proximity-nine.deviantart.com/art/Lead-and-Follow-ch-1-cover-66837539">Chapter 1 cover</a><br /><a href="http://proximity-nine.deviantart.com/art/Lead-and-Follow-ch-01-pg-01-67000957">Page 01</a><br /><a href="http://proximity-nine.deviantart.com/art/Lead-and-Follow-ch-01-pg-02-67955124">Page 02</a><br /><a href="http://proximity-nine.deviantart.com/art/Lead-and-Follow-ch-01-pg-03-69169961">Page 03</a><br /><a href="http://proximity-nine.deviantart.com/art/Lead-and-Follow-ch-01-pg-04-69227925">Page 04</a><br /><a href="http://proximity-nine.deviantart.com/art/Lead-and-Follow-ch-01-pg-05-71350446">Page 05</a><br /><a href="http://proximity-nine.deviantart.com/art/Lead-and-Follow-ch-01-pg-06-72113555">Page 06</a><br /><br /><br /><br /><b><u>Doujinshi</u></b><br /><br /><a href="http://proximity-nine.deviantart.com/journal/15011659/">A Day Like This</a><br /><a href="http://proximity-nine.deviantart.com/journal/15011686/">the one with all the silence</a><br /><a href="http://proximity-nine.deviantart.com/journal/15011704/">incompletion</a><br /><a href="http://proximity-nine.deviantart.com/journal/15011717/">The Day of Chaos: Proximity</a><br /><a href="http://proximity-nine.deviantart.com/journal/15011760/">Lead and Follow</a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

XD I hear people talk about the site a lot, but besides content, does it have an easy-to-use submission/organization system? I'm pretty comfortable here on DA, so I might just use my account for browsing purposes, but...it was just something I was thinking about.<br /><br />Also, I wonder if the roles my female characters play in my doujinshi violate their rules..."central role" is kind of a non-specific description, does it mean as a romantic interest?<br /><br /><br />....I feel like I've asked this before, but I can't remember.

I'm amused that he actually looks his age in Nomura's newer style. I wonder if Seifer will be in it. People always talk about Seifer being "so much younger" in Kingdom Hearts, but if you do the math...he's got to be a year or two older than Roxas, Roxas is Sora's age, Seifer is therefore 16-17, he was 17-18 in FF8. He looks so much older in the old style, though. (I say he padded his coat. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":p" title=":p (Lick)" /> )<br /><br />I hope Ishikawa is still doing Squall's voice...if he doesn't I'll be sad, but he does sound a little too deep for a teenager...<br /><br />But yes, I am back, just been lazy the past week, catching up...I picked up Lead and Follow again the other day and fixed a scene, so hopefully college apps won't delay me from updating too much. <br /><br />It's a bit funny, but I feel like Lead and Follow is really me discovering myself as a doujin artist. When I started drawing doujinshi a long time ago, maybe 5 years, I wasn't a good enough artist to get what I wanted down on paper, so I got frustrated easily and gave up. The story took a backseat to my struggles with the art. Now I'm a lot happier with my own capabilities, so I've been experimenting with sight angles, panel alignment, movement...it's a lot of fun. I wonder if I make things too text-heavy, though. I've always been a writer, and I like narration because you can get into the characters heads that way.<br /><br />But besides that...I'm kind of amused, because I'm taking so many risks and actually enjoying it. I've always seen sexual stuff as a very private thing and taken it very seriously, but...I feel like my squeamishness affected my characterization a lot. Case in point: my fanfic Memories of Fire which will never see the light of day again. *kills it* If you didn't read it/have no clue what I'm talking about, good. XD <br /><br />I'm not saying I'm going to start drawing outright smut (sorry to disappoint you guys XD ) but I've gotten a little more comfortable with portraying...an active relationship, I guess. Things can be implied and still tasteful, or something. I'm not sure if I'm explaining this properly, I guess the doujin is just going to have to demonstrate for itself. But I am a little nervous of overstepping DA's restrictions...that is, until I go browse the art and realize people get away with so much more. XD<br /><br />Not sure when the next update will be, but...please look forward to it. <3<br /><br /><br /><u>Lead and Follow</u><br /><a href="http://proximity-nine.deviantart.com/art/Lead-and-Follow-cover-64194583">Cover</a><br /><a href="http://proximity-nine.deviantart.com/art/Lead-and-Follow-ch-1-cover-66837539">Chapter 1 cover</a><br /><a href="http://proximity-nine.deviantart.com/art/Lead-and-Follow-ch-01-pg-01-67000957">Page 01</a><br /><a href="http://proximity-nine.deviantart.com/art/Lead-and-Follow-ch-01-pg-02-67955124">Page 02</a><br /><a href="http://proximity-nine.deviantart.com/art/Lead-and-Follow-ch-01-pg-03-69169961">Page 03</a><br /><a href="http://proximity-nine.deviantart.com/art/Lead-and-Follow-ch-01-pg-04-69227925">Page 04</a><br /><a href="http://proximity-nine.deviantart.com/art/Lead-and-Follow-ch-01-pg-05-71350446">Page 05</a><br /><a href="http://proximity-nine.deviantart.com/art/Lead-and-Follow-ch-01-pg-06-72113555">Page 06</a><br /><br /><br /><br /><b><u>Doujinshi</u></b><br /><br /><a href="http://proximity-nine.deviantart.com/journal/15011659/">A Day Like This</a><br /><a href="http://proximity-nine.deviantart.com/journal/15011686/">the one with all the silence</a><br /><a href="http://proximity-nine.deviantart.com/journal/15011704/">incompletion</a><br /><a href="http://proximity-nine.deviantart.com/journal/15011717/">The Day of Chaos: Proximity</a><br /><a href="http://proximity-nine.deviantart.com/journal/15011760/">Lead and Follow</a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
<br />
So, this afternoon, I'm leaving for my Outward Bound trip, which will be three weeks long. I won't have any sort of access to a phone or internet, let alone a shower, so consider it a short hiatus. Hopefully this will give me the distance I need from all the things that are stressing me out and I'll be able to handle them when I get back.<br />
<br />
Once I do I plan to start putting together a regular update schedule for my doujin...twice a week is my goal at this point. I figure if I can't even stay organized and on-task for the things I enjoy doing, I'm not going to be able to make it through college. So yeah. <br />
<br />
I'll miss you guys. : ) Thank you as always for your support.<br />
<br />
See you Jan 23rd, hopefully with a big chunk of inspiration.<br />

<br />
The response to page 6 was just amazing, guys. Seriously. Especially because I was really struggling with it. I feel loved. <3<br />
<br />
<br />
I want to take a moment to express my love for the new gallery system. Some people find the featured thing annoying, but honestly, it's a blessing, especially for my doujinshi, because keeping up the link journals is a pain. I went and organized everything by doujin/pairing so it should be easily accessible. Too bad the same things can't be done for Scraps...<br />
<br />
Also, the new mature content filter options get a big thumbs up. Now there's a middle option that is a warning for people under 18, but they can still view the deviation. Also, you can select the reason the deviation has been set as "mature"--i.e. violence, nudity, etc. I think I set a bunch to "ideologically sensitive". XD (AKA GAY) Actually, I probably went overboard with the filters, but I was just so filled with glee that I could get annoying people to leave me alone while not inconveniencing my lovely watchers~<br />
<br />
That is all for now. : D<br />

<br />
So, the other day I was trying to get work on some of my originals done, so when my college application due date comes around in February, my portfolio will consist of a bit more than....yaoi. XD Or rather something else besides it. Considering, I don't think prospective colleges would take kindly to it...<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, my brain was being extremely uncooperative. And it's extremely difficult to win an argument with it. It ended up something like:<br />
<br />
Me: Yeah...I really need to finish the lineart for this illustration, because the coloring is going to take a while. I think it'll make a good portfolio piece. But...<br />
Brain: You want to draw Leon/Cloud?<br />
Me: Wait, what? I really need to work on my originals right now.<br />
Brain: But you know you really want to draw Leon/Cloud.<br />
Me: .....I don't have time for this.<br />
Brain: Oh, you always have time for it.<br />
Me: Shush! This is important for my future and my career! <br />
Brain: Doesn't change the fact that you know you really want to be drawing Leon/Cloud.<br />
Me: .........<br />
Brain: Oh, for example. As a joke reference to your newest deviation, you could draw them as Christian and Satine from Moulin Rouge.<br />
Me: ....<i>what!?</i><br />
Brain: Oh, now you know you want to.<br />
Me: That's ridiculous.<br />
Brain: <i>Love lifts us up where we beloooooongggg--</i><br />
Me: AHHH SHUT UP<br />
Brain: I'd quit while you're ahead, hun.<br />
Me: ...........<br />
<br />
<br />
...................eh. I really need to learn how to draw when I NEED to and not only when inspiration strikes....<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /> Anyway, page 5 is being kinda bitchy, but hopefully I can finish it this weekend.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
<br />
EDIT: Thanks for everyone's input/support....I took the filters off of everything except for <a href="http://proximity-nine.deviantart.com/art/Happy-Birthday-Leonie-o-o-54828939">this one</a>, because it really is....sketchy. Inappropriate. Whatever. XD I'm afraid if I do any more pieces of that...level of inappropriateness or whatever (XD) I'll have to mark them mature. But I am planning to be better about posting stuff on the <a href="http://community.livejournal.com/leonxcloud">LxC LJ comm</a>, and they don't have filters there, now do they. *coughs*<br />
<br />
Now I go lay down and ice my face. Bike accident yay.<br />
<br />
<br />
Pics from Bakuretsucon here: <a href="http://s81.photobucket.com/albums/j217/sakurabatou/bakucon/">[link]</a> <br />
<br />
I'm the ridiculously tall Riku in his end of game outfit, as well as Terra from Birth by Sleep in pyjamas. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":p" title=":p (Lick)" /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
...other things. I've been meaning to ask this for a while, but totally forgot. So it's not really new anymore, but...DA's restriction of only people who are 18+ being able to view pictures marked Mature Content...is this a problem for anyone? Because I marked some of my deviations "Mature" not because they were inappropriate (there's plenty of un-mature kissing pics around) but to avoid getting drama from, well, yaoi haters...I could care less about what they think, I just don't want to deal with it.<br />
<br />
The definition for Mature Content on DA is:<br />
<br />
<i>By tagging your deviation as Mature Content you are in essence informing the deviantART browser that your submission contains material or subject matters which may be found to be offensive or upsetting by more sensitive viewers. Common subjects which are considered Mature Content are nudity, excessive violence and blood and gore.<br />
<br />
Pornographic and other unacceptably sexual themes continue to be prohibited despite the presence of this tag as are certain other contents which have been judged unacceptable. Information concerning this is covered elsewhere in this FAQ.</i><br />
<br />
...basically, there's no real reason besides avoiding nasty comments that I set some of my pieces to "mature", most notably two or three pages from A Day Like This. I'm wondering what people's opinions are, if I should take the filter off. Since those images are farther back in my gallery, They're less likely to be looked at by someone who isn't, well, looking for them.<br />
<br />
<br />
EDIT: <i>All deviations containing nudity, excessive violence, blood, gore, or other potentially upsetting or offensive material should be marked as Mature Content. Controversial pieces revolving around religion, political opinions and other similar sensitive subject matters should also be considered candidates to be tagged as Mature Content.<br />
<br />
The deviantART administration reserves the right to assign the Mature Content tag to any submission which lacks it but is judged to require it.</i><br />
<br />
...well, I'm not quite sure how to interpret that one. Don't you love how there's no specific references to homosexuality in the FAQ? >.><br /><br /> ]]></description>

EDIT: It seems I am approaching 5,555 pageviews. I like the number. So...I guess whoever catches 5,555 gets....eh....I'll think of something. XDDD<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I've been a spaz lately. I think I replied to several comments with my regular account (~<a class="u" href="http://sakurabatou.deviantart.com/">sakurabatou</a>) by accident, so don't get too confused...XD<br />
<br />
Thank you to the people who colored my crappy lineart. <3 (~<a class="u" href="http://xiaa.deviantart.com/">xiaa</a> and ~<a class="u" href="http://pfeekin.deviantart.com/">Pfeekin</a>) <br />
<br />
Uhm. No new page for a few days since I'll be heading to <a href="http://www.bakuretsucon.org/">Bakuretsucon</a> (HOPEFULLY *crosses fingers*) But it's basically using up all my resources to get there...I'm gonna be broke for a while again. x.x But...I really need to go. I need the interaction with people that comes with a con, the ability to connect easily with people with similar interests, and cosplay...Since most of my friends are off at college, I've been lacking that. <br />
<br />
...too bad my poor Cloud costume is still only about halfway done. I'll be wearing Riku and pyjama!Terra (from Birth by Sleep, lol) I'll try to take lots of pictures...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
Have to apologize for there being no new page yet, but my personal life has been a bit...well, crappy lately. Usually doing art makes things better, but it's been inconvenient since i have to move my computer to get internet access. (long story) That and my sister is depending on me to make her Halloween costume early for this party she's going to, but she didn't buy the materials until the last minute. I'm kind of annoyed, but I did promise her I'd make it...trying to finish my own costume in time, too...and I'm still sick with this stupid cold, so I've been sleeping a lot.<br />
<br />
Don't mean to be all whiny and angsty here; I'm trying to cope with certain things. I want to get pages done as soon as possible, I'm just not sure how soon that will be. Hopefully this weekend.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Sorry for the journal spam, I wanted a better organization system for my doujinshi than cluttering up the page with a huge long journal entry. From now on, only the most recent pages will be shown on my newest journal.<br />
<br />
I'll add ratings soon. I'm a bit rushed. Info on the newest L&F page has been updated.<br />
<br />
Proximity is on hiatus because...I lost it. o_O Er. Well, before I left on vacation, I put it somewhere safe so people wouldn't find it and be all "OMG WTF GUYS MAKING OUT." Now I don't remember where I put it.<br />

...as those of you who watch my regular account know. XD<br />
<br />
<br />
Consequently, I am much happier and <a href="http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j217/sakurabatou/lfpage01prev.jpg">working on the first page of Lead and Follow.</a> (Just the rough sketch so far, but)<br />
<br />
I've discovered that I really have no patience for screentones, so I've decided to do everything in plain black and white, and find inventive ways to shade things. <br />
<br />
Fweee~ <3<br />
<br />
(on another note, I'm wondering if the cover gave some people the wrong impression...perhaps I should update the FAQ. I'd like to avoid drama as much as possible. >.> )<br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
Yeah, sorry for spamming you guys with pointless journals. XD I'm such a hypocrite.<br />
<br />
I just attacked my message inbox with a fiery passion. XD So expect replies to comments from months ago, haha. Now, if only I could work up the will to do that with my regular account...I want my sub back, it made things so much easier...<br />
<br />
Uhm. So I'm finally seriously saving up for a new tablet. I get my next paycheck on Thursday, so...I can start working on things next weekend or so. :3 Only, I'm conflicted, because of <a href="http://us.yesasia.com/en/PrdDept.aspx/code-c/version-all/section-games/did-5/pid-1004935544/">this.</a><br />
<br />
<br />
Arghhhh so amazing I want itttt but it's FOUR HUNDRED FREAKING DOLLARS. WHYY.<br />
<br />

<br />
Eh. My life kind of sucks right now. Ah, I'll deal.<br />
<br />
On top of that, ~<a class="u" href="http://hanae0711.deviantart.com/">hanae0711</a> had to go and point out another thing about Kingdom Hearts that she knew and I didn't. She likes to do this to me often and watch me squirm. I'm sure it amuses her greatly. First she pointed out a while ago that Leon and Cloud are, in fact, three years apart, not two, which is what I had been going by. And that Leon is 25 in KH1, making him older than I had thought all along. Not by much, but still, to a detail freak like me (who memorized the arrangement of our favorite gunblade-wielder's belts [hint: not Seifer]) it's a big deal. So randomly she decided to once again burst my fanon bubble and mention that, hey, Cloud's skin tone is actually darker than Leon's. <br />
<br />
alkdasklasdlksadlk;asd.<br />
<br />
I LOVE YOU ANYWAY, HANA. REALLY. IT'S A PAINFUL LOVE.<br />
<br />
But yes, it's true, and I've been coloring them the other way around. Usually because of the effects or the colors used it's hardly noticeable, but it was glaringly obvious (at least to me) on the cover of Lead and Follow. I attempted to fix it, with moderate success, I suppose. The colors on my ancient monitor are pretty messed up to begin with. It also gave me an excuse to finally go fix some mistakes with <a href="http://proximity-nine.deviantart.com/art/things-left-unsaid-LxC-57387672">things left unsaid</a> which I had been lazy about.<br />
<br />
...why yes, I am insane. Funny you should ask.<br />
<br />

I guess there isn't really any bad news, though. XD My rewriting of Proximity is coming along pretty well, actually. The biggest problem was that Cloud was terribly OOC, and that's actually mostly fixed by some dialogue rearranging and correcting facial expressions and body language...I guess it was hard to admit to myself that I was writing Cloud OOC, since I tend to pride myself in being familiar with his character...so much for that. XD<br />
<br />
The cover for Lead and Follow should be up in a few days, I just need to color it...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Oh man...it's surprising how much a few hours on AIM with a friend or two can cheer you up after weeks without contact with anyone but your family...whew. Of course, seeing them in person would be much better...but I'm spending this weekend with *<a class="u" href="http://mame-inu.deviantart.com/">mame-inu</a>, so...it's all good. And hopefully soon I'll be able to scan things again. >.<<br />
<br />
Well, I did a lot of thinking, and initially I was thinking of dropping Proximity as a project. I mean, that seems silly now that I think about it, because I've done so much work on it already, but I was a bit exhausted whenever I looked at it because I thought it was finished, plot wise. But I've grown a lot as a writer recently, I guess, when it comes to characterization and developing stories. And I realized just how incredibly out of character the whole thing is. >.< So, uh...it needs another makeover. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." /><br />
<br />
So I'll be working on Proximity and Lead and Follow at the same time, I guess...hope I can handle it. Har.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
Sometimes my family drives me crazy...I mean, it's not that I don't like traveling, but...I want my summer vacation! Two weeks away from home and I barely get a few days before we leave again. (tomorrow morning) I won't be back until September, sadly, unless I convince my parents otherwise. I should have a working tablet soon enough after that, so things will actually happen. Hooray.<br />
<br />
At least I'll be working on cosplay. And maybe I can translate the doujin I bought...<br />
<br />
On another note, they should have a "drawing" option along with "reading" and "watching"...hmm.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
So, I'm halfway across the country and won't be home for another week, but I thought I'd pop in and check my email and DA messages since I have temp access to a computer...you know...just clean up a bit and keep on top of things. Yep.<br />
<br />
87 watchers and 200+ messages!? And oh look, I just hit 3,000 pageviews. <br />
<br />
AHAHAHA I LOVE YOU GUYS.<br />
<br />
Awesomeness will ensue when I return.<br />

HAHA. So, it was, predictably, in the first place I should have looked for it and the last place I thought to look for it. XD I left it in the basement when my friends came over to work on cosplay...expect an update either tomorrow or Monday. (I'd update tonight except my brother is home and sleeping in the computer room, so I'm on my dad's. No scanner or Photoshop. >.> Stupid brothers.)<br />
<br />
In other news, I GET A FREE DS. 8D Well, it's used, but hey, not complaining. Any game reccomendations?<br />
<br />
<br />
<i>So, I'm leaving for another few weeks on Tuesday...family reunion...I'll probably have internet access, but I won't be able to post anything. (no scanner) So I thought, "Hey, I should at least try to finish ADLT before I leave, because there are only 4 pages left and I finally got over that stupid art block that's been depressing me for the past few weeks."<br />
<br />
I can't. Find it.<br />
<br />
I know where it is. It's in a blue folder that I organized for my recent artwork, but lately I've been carrying around a yellow folder full of blank paper because I finished my latest sketchbook, and keeping things in there...and I have no idea where I put the blue one. I wandered around the house looking for it. I know it's here SOMEWHERE, but it's driving me crazy because I WANT TO FINISH. >.<<br />
<br />
So yeah. Bad excuse for no updates. I'll look for it again today.</i><br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
I failed my mission! ....i.e. I forgot to buy new inking pens. I usually use .8 mm Sakura microns, so anything thinner than that kind of screws me up. (I prefer thicker lines) So I'm stuck finishing ADLT with .5 mm ballpoint pen for now...and my art is not looking great...I dunno. I hope to get the next page up tomorrow, at least.<br />
<br />
Otherwise, I put up another doujinshi rough on my LJ. <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ So yeah...I'm back. Kind of exhausted, I'll link to an LJ entry about my trip once it's up.<br />
<br />
Otherwise...my message inbox was...o.o at like...90. AND I HAVE 59 WATCHERS NOW. WTF PEOPLE XDDDD ILU~~~ <33333<br />
<br />
...Uhh. Over the course of the week I drew <i>three</i> (yes, three) completely new doujinshi....all LeonXCloud consequently...yes, I'm crazy, why do you ask? XD Well, I'm going to throw the rest of ADLT up before I scan them, which should be happening this weekend. The new ones are 40, 22 and 14 pages, respectively. The shorter two are basically done, so I'll probably upload a cover and then put the pages in a zip file for download or something...we'll see.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
<b>Edit</b>: Didn't want to bother with a whole new journal for this, but...18 and 19 are now up. I wanted to get all the way to the end today, but I have a bunch of errands to run (and I have to pack x.x ) and on top of that, my inking pens are nearly dry. o.o *runs out to buy new ones* Hope you can all survive for a week! See you~ And much love~<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Only one page up today...sorry, 18 and 19 are bitching at me. I just wanted to put something up because I'm leaving in a few days, so there won't be any more updates until July. o.o Sorry for the wait...<br />
<br />
Oh, and I ended up combining pages 20 and 21, so it's a page shorter now...not much difference, I just cut out some unnecessary panels. (I overdo transitions sometimes.)<br />

<br />
I've been enjoying my summer vacation a little too much...I'm afraid I've been neglecting my art. But I've had a strange lack of inspiration lately...I should just go out and buy a new tablet stylus already...<br />
<br />
Aghh. Anyway. You guys have been very patient, so I'll try to get the next few pages of ADLT up today. There's only 11 to go...why am I procrastinating...<br />
<br />
And thank you all for wishing me a happy birthday! <3<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Pages 8-13 of ADLT are done~ ;D Well, I got 8 and 9 up but 10 is taking forever to upload. It's my stupid internet connection. Firewalls. Ugh. >.> I've got Firefox and everything, I just have to cut my file sizes to under 130 kb for anything to upload...and sometimes even that doesn't work...so annoying.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm alive...phew...and I should have a scanner soon. And my sketchbook back so I can finish ADLT. >.> I was doing so well. Grargh. Oh well.<br />
<br />
<br />
I actually had a talk with my dad about Proximity last night...XD Well, he doesn't know it's a yaoi doujin, (he doesn't know what yaoi is) but he knows how I always have a hard time finishing things, and I tend to write stories in a non-linear fashion. Proximity has actually taught me a lot about how to manage that style. It happens to be my longest and most complete work to date, original or otherwise, not counting my fanfic, Homecoming. And the most important thing I've learned is how to accept the fact that I have to go back and revise the hell out of things. <br />
<br />
I've redrawn or tossed out so many pages...and I was okay with it. It's usually agonizing for me to throw anything away. In fact, I took the pages I decided not to use, turned them over and drew the new pages on the backs so not to waste paper... <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/animesweat.gif" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..." />  I accepted the fact that certain scenes were going nowhere and started them over from scratch. In fact, I ended up getting rid of a lot of borderline smutty stuff for plot, which some people won't be too happy about...XDXD oh well. Several months ago I declared it finished, but yet I'm still working on it. I don't know how long I will be...but that's okay. I'm enjoying myself.<br />
<br />
As soon as I have my scanner up and working, I'll put up the next few pages...unfortunately I can't fix the lineart until I find my tablet stylus, but whatever.<br />
<br />
That wasn't actually the rant. The rant is:<br />
<br />
So I was playing my KH II Proud Mode game, (I've beaten it on Standard) and I have this habit of talking to NPCs as much as possible. At the part where Tifa trashes Ansem's study looking for Cloud, if you talk to Leon, he says something like "That girl really has a temper...could you check and see if she broke anything?" Basically implying that he doesn't know her.<br />
<br />
Which essentially screws over my entire fannon.<br />
<br />
Rawr.<br />
<br />
Well, I thought about it for a while...and to compensate for that I'd have to make major changes to both Proximity and the rest of the Day of Chaos...so I decided to ignore it. I try to take canon into consideration as much as possible, but at this point I'm not going to go back and change entire plotlines for a single line. I also feel like when making KH II they didn't put a great amount of thought into how the FF characters storylines fit together...and here I am trying to make it work...well, it's a fanwork, so I'm allowed some liberty, right? It's not like I'm getting paid. >.><br />
<br />
There's also the fact that Leon could very well be pretending not to know her. XD "Tifa lost her temper again...I refuse to be associated with her when she has no self-control..." XDD<br /><br /> ]]></description>

<b>Edit: 5/25/07</b> I'm going to New York for the weekend, so I won't be back until Tuesday. I might have something to post then...maybe...I hope. *crosses fingers* I don't know how much work I can get done in the next week or so, since I have to make my prom dress...but that's not so terrible for me, at least. Since it's cosplay. <3 I'll post pictures when it's done. XD<br />
<br />
I'm also hoping to buy myself a scanner with my graduation money, now that I'm out of school and can't use the computer labs.<br />
<br />
Love you guys...see you soon.<br />
<br />

<br />
>.o<br />
<br />
Uhh. Pages 3-8 or Proximity are up now, since I got tired of waiting...I hate doing nothing. I finally get to a point where I actually don't want to procrastinate, and things happen to prevent me from doing anything...well, I'm fighting the system! So there! XD<br />
<br />
Just hand-inked, though. Since I obviously can't do anything on Photoshop with them yet besides text and panel borders...so excuse the art quality.<br />

<br />
Well, yes, I promised three more pages of ADLT for today, but unfortunately...my sketchbook went home with *<a class="u" href="http://mame-inu.deviantart.com/">mame-inu</a> over the weekend, accidentally. >.< And it's the pencil sketches that I was going to ink...and I have no tablet stylus, so she couldn't have scanned them for me...I'm going to try to drop by and pick it up within the next few days.<br />
<br />
Okay, I get it, big guy up there, OBVIOUSLY you don't want me to ever finish a doujin within a reasonable amount of time. >.><br />
<br />
I'll try to put something up to amuse you guys in the meantime.<br />
<br />
...four days left of school...ack.<br /><br /> ]]></description>
