To start off with, school is everything I imagined it'd be. It's challenging, time consuming, and varies in the fun level. It's taking up all free time I've got. Hense the larger lack of posted art. I know I've been bitching about why I don't post, but this I can't get out of.

My tablet also broke not long ago and I just got a new one. I didn't realize how dependant I became to such an object. I felt like I couldn't go on drawing without it. My scanner's also starting to malfunction as well.

I also lost the shit-head I've been with for three and a half years. It didn't make me spiral into a void of depression and dispair. Infact, it woke me back up to the person I was three and a half years ago. The individual that didn't dress the way I was forced, didn't talk the way I was told to, and all these other fun things I didn't want to do.

Moving to Colorado to create a permanent residence (for 3 years) was a huge twist to things. For a good portion of my life, I thought I was going to be working at a department store in Wyoming and just drawing for fun. Now that I'm in Colorado and in college, those dreams of a full time job in the art department are fastly comming back.

So things have been good so far. I've been starting to consider uploading just sketches since that's as far as I get these days, but you can't even see them with the dimming of my scanner. I'll think of something.

Being back to my problemless computer hasn't made it easy for me to use it. Aside from the fact that I have been doodling, there's so much distraction and of course personal things going on.

I recently got my school financial plan set and it's like staring into three years of obvious debt. xD Of course I'll go through as much debt as possible if it means I can graduate more awesome then I am now.

Note to some people:
I know I had set up doing some art for people when I was in Wyoming and have let it go for five months. This is what usually happens when the person asking me for art tells me I have all the time in the world, that they're patient. I'll take all the time in the world then. I wish people would give me deadlines for that reason. No matter who you are to me, I'll drop it if you say you're a patient person.

So you have no right to be mad at the mo. xD I warn everyone that I will never probably get it done even before I start. It's the way I've always been. It's why I only do art trades and you never hear about me doing requests.

I know that's mean of me to say on a professional level... You need to just stop being so generous when you ask for art. Most artists will take generous time. Given this is an artist community, some of the population here can relate. /note

I recently lost a ton of weight that I had to forcefully gain back in order not to end back where I was two years ago. If you've been wondering where I've been... I've probably been eating.

Other then that. I'm in my usual place. My desk.

Not like I've been able to draw anything with the constant trying to fix other personal matters over the net whenever I log on anywhere.

So my apologies for not getting to some journals. Continue to * for reason.

I did visit Nevada, Jayd's home area.

Too damn warm. I felt I learned some things that I now need to change due to actually seeing what you'd have to tolerate to be there. Especially near Las Vegas. I was riding passenger and right up next to us was a advertisement van with atleast six naked women on it. I think every .5 minutes there was a prostitute advertisement somewhere. I'm not into that but I felt it gave it character. Everything that is so, so wrong about that place made it all the more interesting. There's no way you could live there and wind up a saint.

The plants were also neat outside of the city limits. I had some pictures taken so I have better references of everything. It was also the first time I saw a real palm tree and other exotic plants that I can actually touch.

I also couldn't believe how accurate I was in predicting what Nevada police uniforms and vehicles were designed to look like. They really are black and white... (i.e. colors very much vary with every US state and even county. Ours are blue and maroon in my district)

I will probably visit there again one day to learn more about it.

Along the way I got to meet an artist friend.

That visit should have been longer. It was way too short in my opinion. Even though two whole days were spent in her culture. Which is beyond my comfort zone. I think she could tell. Even though she's younger then me, I felt she was babysitting me alot of the time. There was absolutely no way I could pretend I could do fine on my own. She made that visit very worth it. My favorite part about it. Another internet friend visited and checked off the list.

With her help, I was able to ask this girl who had this kick ass stand to make me a custom cellphone charm. This charm consists of a blue booze bottle, a brown pistol, and a too cute Jayd head. I don't have any pictures yet, but it's amazing. I tried my best to remember the awesome girl that made it's name. I want to say Kate. (Correct me if I failed Crissy.)

* School is starting soon. Moving to a city by myself is starting to make me nervous. I don't have the comfort I used to have when I logged on or called people on the phone. That's something I'm adjusting to without much argue. I don't have time to feel depressed about it 24/7. Everyone I did talk to is also going through alike problems and right now I've been claimed to be the least help. So again to those that I usually talk to, I think this is a good time for us to keep a distance until I head back home where I can take a breath for a week.

My external hard drive is full of hidden art with pictures that have fully drawn backgrounds. There was a time when I uploaded those on here.

But no one seemed to find them any different then ones without.

So I stopped uploading them.

I was told I need to again.

Only problem is... I need to fix this problem that happened with Photoshop.

Then I'll get onto that.

I also haven't been around very often during the day because my sleep hours are 5am-1pm. Sorry about that, MSN people.

I've had mixed feelings about it. No one likes to leave the place they don't like at all. I don't want a new place to hate.

What I do want though is make my way back to Denver. I'm chilling in Wyoming again until enrollment in the school gets closer.

It'll be different being in school again, but it'll be amazing because almost all the classes are revolved around things I've actually wanted to learn.

Since the school has people start about every other month or so, I can go in just about anytime. If I ever change my mind.

October is what the school thought was proper with all the moving I have to do.

The application lady didn't give two shits about if I had any personal matters. She also has no sense of humor. None.

But things have been busy. Ever since I landed in Denver I've been really contemplating and paying attention to things around me. There's a lot of good here, but the air is so dry I was pretty dead the first few days. The coughing up blood has subsided. I drink about 64 oz of water to keep up with not fainting everywhere.

Setting that aside, I still frustrate trying to do anything artistic. So far the time in the air was the only real time I had. With not being able to draw since January... My style has changed dramatically in my own perspective. I can't tell if it's upsetting or not.

The open house for Ai is Saturday. This is probably the most important reason for this trip. I might make a journal about it since it will be what makes me choose what the hell the rest of the year will be like. I really doubt I'll be going back to doing requests though. I've been too caught up in my own life finally to think about what others would like to see from me.

Denver smells like food. It smells like either someone is either having a barbeque or they're having tacos. That's downtown though. I live kitty-corner from this long street plaza.

I also met Kiguri's twin. I thought the real thing was talking to me. It was an odd feeling. Kiguri doesn't have a twin. But if she did, this girl would be it. American cuss words, makeup and all.

Edit:
The open house was a huge twist. I went to the main building expecting to know that Graphic Design was where I needed to be. Then I get to the campus tour and find out that Animation is where I really should be. It was a long overdue visit but getting that far out of state is difficult. Especially with our weather; you never know what's going to happen the next day.

If I play my cards right, I'll be back in school by July. A lot of financial business is still waiting to be talked about so that could determine if I can afford it or not.

It's actually been going on since about January.

I'd have put this elsewhere, but it seems most people that do need to see this are all here. Hopefully they'll stop by.

If any of them people are wondering where their art is... It's in very slow progress. Ever since January alot has happened. It all started with the sudden frequent visit to the hospital due to my heart problems.

Some other personal matters have caused me to be away from my desk.

I also have gotten to a full time job setting aside the others. With the recent addition of violin lessons... I've no time to do any new freelance work.

I know there's a few that are awaiting my work. I haven't forgotten it. It's been forever since I've been able to find the time to work more then just my lunch hour on everything. Being that I can't bring anything above PG-13 to work, this means pretty much everything I'm working on for you all.

I'm also heading out of state to go campus hopping in Denver, Colorado in April. Due to the recent life altering changes going on with me, I had to change my destination of where I'm going to live and all my other future plans.

To those that read this, this is the only form I can keep in touch so I don't have to send a flood of e-mails and personal messages all over the internet.

Journals are irrelevant on DA.

Though I only did post an entry a month.

For those that notice. I delete old deviations at a periodic basis. If I kept everything I'd have hundreds of devs that I feel don't need to be on there anymore.

During my stay, Jayd's birthday passed the twenty-seventh of this month. He's getting old, but he will always look young. I usually have a picture celebrating his birthday but I don't this time. To be honest he's like my New Years in the art department. Since it all started with him. Each time October 27th comes around I think back now ten years what I've done and it feels like a revolution each year.

In that sense. These last couple years I spent doing art for a few Gaians on GaiaOnline. And I must thank them because they are alway so supportive and awsome. They help me try to test my skills to the fullest and they arn't scared to hear I want to try something new with what they pay me.

Also, I must thank two friends. Law and Marla. You two are stupendous. This last year has been so horrible in the sense of family and personal life wise and you both helped me keep my head from falling off my shoulders. If both of you were gone, I might have slipped into madness. I swear. xD

Alot of new things approached me in my stay this last time... Some proud of, some not so proud of. If to put it in this last year... I feel I've experienced too much of everything. Hopefully next year will be better and easier to handle. xD

I'll be able to post art the moment I get back. Which I'll have alot to share with my creation of a new character. <3

*Note: I saw this new meme. It's called the OST Meme [For OC's]. Being the music whore... I'm much pondering on compiling as many of these as possible. But who should I start with?

I have over 12 characters. All of them which I can create a good 20+ soundtrack and an album cover.

--------
Edit: Got all the music down, now I gotta get all artistic.

And after that I'll be possibly leaving for WY again.

If not, I'll be moving into town possibly. Which means no internet until springtime.

I'll be trying to keep updates.

Alot better then what it was too.

Also, one last chance on my license. Sorry about the lack of art though. This whole ordeal is taking up alot of my time.

I have 30 days to get my license. Which I don't know how I'm going to do that.

I am acheiving a great deal of art in one day. I got three pictures done in three days. I don't think I can keep it up since work does get in the way.

Thanks to Marla, I do have some awsome music to listen to when I feel like shit.

I do feel like taking a moment to appreciate those that are still watching me after all these times I just leave. It's amazing what you watchers tolerate. Because I really don't tolerate watching all but 7 people ish. Kiguri, Twulf, Rhia, Rhythm Wily, Suguri, Mei, and ____.
I also feel lucky that I'm not a popular artist. I saw the comments they have to go through and it's insane. I'd have made comments banned from all my art. So when that time comes when I get like 50 comments a day, I'm taking them out. xD

My favorite band is on my small town. And I don't get to see them. D;

I'm pretty thrilled about that since my only other relationship lasted a week or less.

Sorry no art put out yet. I'll be home mid July though to draw some.

Just keeping an update unlike I usually do.

Also, I noticed I passed the 10,000 pageview mark, sad that it took four years to get that.

On other not so important news. I finished the National Dex in Pokemon Diamond today. To me it's a big thing since it took 400 hours or so to raise, catch, breed and repeat to get everything. Now I gotta prepare for the next game comming out soon. This means restarting all GBA ones to the end.

Weather still not in our favor.

Life's intense.

Can't say I'm all that happy. The phone call went as follows:

T-Deines: Vikky? Hi, I was wondering how that sweater was going.

Vikky: I'm having trouble with it. You see, it looks fine on the screen but as a patch it probably wouldn't turn out the way you want it.

T-Deines: What's wrong with it?

Vikky: There's too much detail like the last one, too many white spaces. This one comes out to more then 100,000 stitches, which will put you at $70.00 for the patch alone.

T-Deines: Should I take out some of the city windows? Would that help if I edited it?

Vikky: It would be better if you can bring another picture in that's just a less detailed white outline with black spaces instead.

T-Deines: I don't have that kind of time. I keep comming back and forth from ____ to ____ and it costs so much to travel with the gas prices. It's getting expensive to have to come back and check up on things. I can't keep doing that.

Vikky: Well I just can't get things the way you want it. There's this lady that does this spinning. She might be cheaper and she lives in ____. And I got her phone number.

T-Deines: Ok. I'll check back with you when I find some stuff out.

-----

I hated that conversation. Since again I had to be the one to call to find out things wern't working. She said the first and second time she'd call if she had any problems. And I'd like to know sooner so I can work out what needs to be fixed. But now that I know what's the problem I know I can't have anything done by her. Because she can't handle the detail I want.

Plus, her tones make me feel like she doesn't want to work on this anymore. She does whatever she could to get me to go to someone else, even reccomended someone. This means she doesn't mind losing business. That's not good either.

I took out alot of random stuff in the conversation about how she was saying Jayd's shirt is the hardest part of the patch and all.

For all I know she could have read my dev comments and this journal and that could be why she hates me. xD

Though, the person I could only thank for it getting so well known out there got banned. For what reason I don't know what it is...

I'm trying to force myself out of a block and Kiguri picked just the right time to get back because her influence will make me draw no matter how terrible into a block I can be. She has unforgettable characters. Though I can't totally agree with her habbits her work always is amazing.

Now that I've cracked the ways of the Hemisphere GPS system I can now sit at my desk alittle more. But the no rain/snow treatment isn't good either. If you have any bad weather, a flood maybe... If you don't want it just tell it to come my way. Because we could use a good old fashioned flood with hurricane winds. Hurricane winds would blow down all them old barns we don't want and it'd save us some burn permits.

As Taylor pointed it out to me, corn prices are getting there. This means most corn will be going to fuel, this means it'll be innafordable for ranchers to feed cattle this year. So... In turn all cow products are going to be in high demand.

***I'm putting money on half of you having your drivers license. Any tips about learning how to drive? Like.... Where did you start learning and any comments on helping someone learn?

And... What are stamps? And is that something I should be getting involved in? Because I think Jayd's face would look badass on a "stamp". xD

]]> ~t-deines http://t-deines.deviantart.com/journal/17823165/ http://t-deines.deviantart.com/journal/17823165/ Sat, 12 Apr 2008 23:10:31 PDT
While half the farmers probably committed suicide over the market close recently, my family almost went entirely broke. I'm not talking, "Shit, now we'll have to not buy new junk." type broke, I mean, "Shit, now we have to sell the house." broke.

With fuel, chemical, and seed being at ongodly prices; it was nearly impossible to buy any of it after only gaining very little off of wheat. For those of you that don't get it, this is how it works.

A grain or crop is worth so much a bushel, pound, etc.
Crop markets go up by cents to limit up ($1.50+) or limit down ($1.50-). Lets say my family has 80,000 bushels and the price is currently $10.00. This means we've made $800,000. Things look ok to you but in the farm life, a large percent goes to taxes. Which would make it now $600,000 and then you need to use all that money for one whole next year. Because this is the only paycheck you get. An average tractor costs about $100,000. Fuel for the year is about $80,000 and you get the idea.

Now watch that go down a dollar a day, that $10.00. Now... You're in some shit. Each dollar you lose over something you can't control, drops you $80,000. It's a gamble. It sucks.

The government also wants a say in what you all do as a farmer. What they do is send you letters in the mail to fill out how many acers you raise, what you raise and how many acers is which. Once you've filled that out they can take alot of money from you out of your deal. They say they keep track so they know how to balance the market prices of the comming year. What this also means is they can regulate it to screw you over and they can also ruin the agricultural economy by doing so. President Carter was worse but it's getting to the point where the mid-west states are having a shitty-ass time because we have nothing around us. (SUGURI KNOWS THIS)

What also recently has screwed alot up is they closed the sugar beet (the same sugar that's in your cereals) dump in my town and so now you have to use more fuel to drive farther away to just try to sell it. And when you own beets you have to hire drives, so you have to pay them hourly to drive farther, and you have to pay for their fuel to get there. A double crock.

My dad would retire but that would take half of what we have into taxes. So he declared that he will be doing this job until he dies. Which doesn't seem that far away since this summer is going to be one of the hardest yet with less then one inch of snow total this winter.

With that said; things are stressfull and I'm sorry I can't draw as much as I used to. I'm working more on the personal life I negelected all this time. And it's not just me anymore. I got someone I care about to also look out for. And their life sucks just as much. With all the farmers that shot themselves in the last two months we feel pretty good that we haven't yet. (I'm not being sarcastic either.)

With minimum wage being $6.20 I can't afford a job. Gas and taxes would keep my gain at a zero if not a negative. I'd have to drive 20 miles to work and 20 back everyday. With gas being currently $3.36, it's stupid. I can't even afford to live in my own crappy town.

I planned on comming back with a bang and batch of artwork but now they invented this new GPS system for tractors that I have to install and teach five people how to use when I was just given the manual today and I have less then a week to learn it. Then after that I head back out of town to look for a job. Then I have to get my license.

So... That's what's been going on most of the winter/early spring. Most of that isn't even a rant of me, only the last two paragraphs really. The rest is mainly a realization that I sure as hell wouldn't want to be a few of my neighbors. And alot of people that watched me before on DA didn't know what a farm was. This is alil bit about it.

If you read all that and understand... Let me know.

Now that I have 15+ pens. I'm set. These are the best pens ever, and you can find them at any Walmart. Which I had to travel to get. But they are amazing for linework.

Everyone asks what I use to line my work with.
[link]
If you use printing paper to draw on. I reccomend buying PaperMate Write Bros. black ink pens. Not the white tube ones... The black tinted barrels. After all.. It's the worlds most loved pen. And I shit you not. I went on a four hour trip to get them because I wouldn't want anything else to line pencil with.

That's basically it. Any other black area is filled in with any other shitty pen that bleeds all over the place. Or a Sharpie.

But now that I have ten line pens and twenty bleeding pens. I'm set. Expect more work uploaded soon after I unpack all the crap I bought. And fix my brother's computer some more.

It was good to get out of the house none-the-less. I had a great time with my parents. If you don't have a close bond with your parents, you're missing out. Of all the people my age I could be hanging out with I'd rather be with the most respected adults I know.

Tis the birthday... And... It didn't turn out the way it should have. *rolls back on bed to sob and shoot more people.*

Mine is plain and simple. T is my first real initial. This means my name isn't Jayd. There was a period of time where everyone called me male nicknames like: man, dude, etc. No. I'm a female that just enjoys drawing good-looking males and good-looking females. It's not anything to do with my sexuality, oh no. It's just the curse of reading too many Marvel, DC, Image, comics. Within time I started applying what I saw in those over my anime style. I don't like being called by my first time generally. Even though it's a rare name I just kept the rest out.

The hyphen is just there to seperate the two.

Deines is my last name. Which I don't mind being called by. Most of my siblings would rather go by it also. No one can really spell our name right no matter how many times it's infront of them. There is even people on DA where my name is all over the page and yet there is mistakes. I forgive it but I still wonder how things like that are made. I take alot of pride in my last name and I don't know why since my family name has been destroyed by the media due to my siblings. My parents are more worth dedicating it to. Simply on here I haven't seen anyone else with the name so when it's up it won't be confused with anyone else.

I couldn't think of anything real clever to put as my name. I didn't want to use anything that was taken from anything well known like BleachFan01293 or CutieBunny.

I have no idea what I'm going to do for my birthday, hoping for a special visitor... Or some good luck.

Feb. 5th. Is the day.

Trying to get out of my artistic block. Just so much going on with everyone around me. Love affairs, scandals, and people dying all over the place.

Incase you were wondering...

I just didn't like them anymore. They were "No Longer Desired".

I had an awakening that I completely suck at penning some subjects so I might take a league of studying penning other things other then clothes like my art teacher thought was so important.

I'm out of black pens and patience for my "roomates" as to why there hasn't been much to put up yet.

xD

That's ok. It's all rant anyway.
But I figure they should be put up to show what's been going on since some people wonder.

Anyway, christmas is comming closer. You know what this means?

No, it doesn't mean vacation/presents/etc.

It means I'll be loaded with deviations in my watch list that will take eons to go through.

I hates holidays for that reason xD Everyone gets so festive.

Been cranking art/sketches. Nothing on the subject of my own characters unless it's concept work. Been thinking of making a story more and more though. Undecided after 13 years still what to do.

Been on Gaia alot lately though. Doing some requests just to help get back on track. I'm not too familiar with posting those but I might as well.

So, the big set of deviations will be all gaia related xD Just to fill in the lack of posting.

But please, if you are on that forum, don't find me to tell me nonsense. I hate my inbox filled with crap.

I keep ending up visiting the hospital for whatever bodily failure my body can force on itself. But I think I'll be home for awhile this time. Just not physically and mentally well enough for anything artistic.

Family issues are comming up again, it's that time of year.

I need to get out of here. Really bad.

I come back and find more people coloring my stuff. This is really, really beginning to piss me off real bad. If you people want colored I'll spend the extra ten hours to do so just so you people knock it off.

So, I won't be back for awhile yet. Just was checking to see if anyone posted on my last journal.

You people out there that save linework and color and post it in your gallery without so much as a warning should still have all your plumbing water changed to hot grease.

Been brainstorming ideas of comic pages since I can't animate. I'm losing interest in drawing them the more I see people coloring them for me without asking. I just want to get out my ideas of Zeph's world and how Juze and him don't like one another daily.

Vika, I saw you online and missed you. God damn it anyway. Better luck next time.

Keep it real Mr. A.

I clarify that harvest hit again and it's been a busy one since it's getting close to snowing.

I will be gone for two or more weeks due to travelling the states. Got some people to visit that need much visiting.

No doubt I've been drawing but I lack the time and want to scan and post things. Not to mention comming online here and having notes and comments that just arn't important. I'm reading journals though.

Rhythm keeps making journals I know nothing of all the time... But she is still one of the people that always lets everyone know what's up. (and what's popular in her critique mind you)...

I’m almost ready on my drivers permit and license finally. Been studying since I can’t do anything artistic without getting pissed.

We have no air conditioning in our house anymore so this means the computer is off limits between 8am-9pm. This means no music. I had to ask my family if they could lend me a stereo before I would go mad. I never went a day without listening to music after I got my first pair of headphones. I had a whole week without music recently and I started getting headaches, I was extremely irritable, and it was the first time in a long time I had to hear the pathetic arguments my family starts outside my room.

Pokemon, still playing that no doubt. When I take breaks from studying that is. Been thinking about the first time I ever played the game. Fun facts about the first time are…
My brilliant name was Penny. Yes, I was a dude named Penny. Who started with Charmander since it looked the most cool out of the three on the old blue version. At the time I started playing I was a huge Nsync fan. Everytime I listen to their first album it reminds me of the game. That’s how often it was. A lot of other 90’s dance as well. I had no idea that there was such thing as a walkthrough. So, when I saw my first ever favorite pokemon I used my master ball on it. Which was Clefairy. Clefairy was the first pokemon I had to hit level 100. I never even bothered to catch mewtwo since I kept killing it. Every pokemon I had was over level 70. The pokemon I caught I raised equally with every single other one. I kept doing this with every game up until I got Pokemon Emerald. So in every old game I have, every pokemon is around the same level. My older games that I spent about 400 hours on each one are now either broken or useless to the SP or DS. Trading wise anyway. Which sucks because I took my games too seriously I felt I was raising children. I hate it still that I can’t use them in the new games. Also, a huge majority of my pokemon have names starting with a military or professional title. As shown my Mismagius is Lt. Rip. My old Clefairy was Capt. Puff. So. I had my own pokemon army. The pokemon I used most have those titles or adore the most. I never really collected the ledgendaries. I never found them as special as most think they are. If I killed them and I didn’t like them I kinda just let it go and moved on xD… Or I caught it and never used them. Mostly because they’re no fun to raise, they don’t usually evolve. I love evolving things. A sense of accomplishment. I used to play on the bus everyday. And after school for about an hour and a ton on the weekends. I had nothing else better to do as a kid. I used to draw myself as a trainer which didn’t look right and still doesn’t.

I better stop before I write a book. I could go on forever. Pokemon is what started my entry into playing games so it played a huge role in my pre and early teen life.


There is alot of bad grammar that Word picked up in this document. *never had Microsoft Word until now* ...

This means... No art until I get it.

The end.

Harvest got in the way, so did a few personal issues that I don't know how long they will take to sort out.

I'm still drawing none-the-less. Just taking more then a day to do something.

Also... I was asked if I look anything like my ID in a few notes.

The answer: Not really...
[link]
That picture was taken by a phone in the back of a pickup so the lighting and everything is bad. Which helped me hide my flaws and add new ones. XD What I look like on the job.

And so I keep deleting crap on my page. Seeing my older stuff makes me alil ill in the head and stomach...

Hoping to keep this artistic streak on... Just had to express myself. Again. I was watching my gallery stats and it's been an eternity since I've had so many comments and faves. But the thing I noticed the most is how often I used to submit something. I got on this thought that I should only submit things that looked ok to me. Which is almost nothing.

I won't dare to do requests yet though. Nothing ever turned out the way the person wanted.

Kinda in the mood to draw some Quake pictures now. Too bad it's midnight.

Though more then half of the people that I used to talk to stopped since I've been gone... I won't let that get me down.

Since there is two jobs going on, things won't be everyday though. But already more frequent then usual.

I miss seeing alot of the people I watch's artwork. Though I'm glad some of them came back to post something.

Thanks for reading and commenting. <3 ]]> ~t-deines http://t-deines.deviantart.com/journal/13113537/ http://t-deines.deviantart.com/journal/13113537/ Sun, 27 May 2007 14:24:51 PDT
And so, noticed, alot of black and white work. This is what happens when too many people tell me my colored work sucks compared to the traditional crap. I'm not a people pleaser... Just realizing that black and white suits the mood I want to get out there for now. Because Lisa Frank rainbows won't work for a somber picture.

The new Pokemon game is neat. Though I don't totally agree with what I get out of the GTS no matter how much I tell what I want. I wish there was an option where I can say "No cheated pokemon please". I hate going back to Jubilife and seeing that I got a pokemon that was obviously cheated to get. I'd rather have a level 5 over level 100. Also, outrageous things people ask for when they want to give something little is rather stupid too. Other then that, the game is definitely a step up from the past games graphic-wise. Story wise I will always miss the traditional Red, Blue, and Green storyline.

20+ hours were spent just mining. Heart scales are a life saver and great for those pokemon traded. I say true.

Anyway, plans to possibly just submit whatever I draw instead of whatever I feel is worthy of DA. Because ever since that thought came about nothing feels really all that great and more and more people submit stick figures drawn on paint.

I was in the top 500 on Gaia. I wish it was the top 10 like the old days but page 3 on 500 was an honor since everyone likes to say mean crap about my work. I gave thanks to those I knew voted or commented with kind words.

Thinkin on a new ID. And fanart for those artists I know on here that don't know that I watch them. Atraki (Kiguri)'s birthday is rolling up and I have yet to finish a gift for her. I feel like a shit.

My only ideas are redrawing the past or ideas based on past events or them in mind. Which there will be more of those if the scanner that is in this new household would stop sucking. Or I bring mine here one day.

Being in the middle of flu season or trying to get out of it makes it hard to draw. But since November, the last journal, nothing much else has changed. Just keeping in touch is hard enough. I don't blame for a majority not commenting or watching anymore.

Harvest finished weeks late and stressed everyone out. I was told to quit and leave so I did. Sorta.

Being gone and all for the past month and a half now has made it difficult to draw anything. Well drawing, scanning and coloring for that matter. But sketches are everywhere. There are completed old now Halloween pictures and event things but putting them up will be post poned until I'm at my computer.

Alot of what has been drawn though since July or so was renewed and new comic pages. So there isn't much to show.

Btw, if you pass this page Vika, see if you can't find the manga or anime Air Gear. It was made by the same people that did TT. I only read two volumes and it's alright to me.

Not many people comment so I only will put enough for the people that I know read these things.

The reason for the major silence is quite simple if you've been on my msn list in the past or read a few past journal entries. Picking a college is still becoming a tough desicion; I've decided to wait a year after I'm on my own to go, more financial help y'know?. Otherwise it could be Denver, yes Jmk, Denver.

As to my recent visit in NY it went ok. Decided to drop the small scholarship to Pratt Institute for the Arts as I took the campus tour. It isn't all it cracked up to be, I'd shoot myself paying for all them classes. 12 thousand dollars a semester without the housing etc payments included. NY wasn't all glamourous. I was meerely killed by the polution next to NJ on the harbor. I would have to hide somewhere in the Brooklyn Botanical Garden or Montauk beach to get away from that thick muggy air.

On that note my sibling Tye, whom lives in NY, is deciding to move right where I want to in the future, Denver. Ouch.

I've been in a fanart and request frenzy for the past month. I realized I can't draw Bleach for crap as well as Naruto. I'd hate to post alot of Sailor Moon and DBZ work again like I did in the past. ... Bleach is coming out in english this month...

The reason for the deadness of my art and such is the constant travel/work. It's almost over and I might be back to things in the winter. I was truly surprised with all the responses to the ID, thank you all for your comments. They are one of the best motivations to keep coming back here is those I knew since the start. ]]> ~t-deines http://t-deines.deviantart.com/journal/8613465/ http://t-deines.deviantart.com/journal/8613465/ Fri, 28 Apr 2006 16:14:31 PDT
Lately the computer has been going through an odd phase to make it very difficult to post any kind of work I've been doing. It's either really slow or it just doesn't open, the site that is. I don't know when it's going to end but you're all not missing much anyways.

School projects and keeping grades good is taking alot of my free time away which is ok because I'd rather have good grades over that.

Right after school's end I go to New York for two weeks at the most. I might be a victum of John Stewart's cast of the Daily Show but it hasn't quite been decided yet. I will be seeing a real ballet accompanied by an orchestra so I'm all for that. I have also got the privlage to visit a five story book store to seek out Spanish text books, manga, and do it yourself violin lesson handbooks. I might not get the violin but I'm hopping to. It has been kinda an inside dream that few even realize that I've wanted to play one just as much as I draw someone playing the same instrument. More or less the trip was to seek out colleges and see what I'm going to be up against. Might spend an extensive time in the Metropolitan Museum of Art as well.

After that back to the lovely schedual of waking up, working, drawing going to bed routine. I can't wait... Somewhat.

Where the hell is your work Lee? I want blood. ]]> ~t-deines
