*zer0dram0n Devious Update on Life http://zer0dram0n.deviantart.com/journal/27838962/ http://zer0dram0n.deviantart.com/journal/27838962/ Sun, 18 Oct 2009 15:48:58 PDT
Here Thar Be Monsters

(wow it's been almost a month since i updated this. *shame*)

then again, life's been kinda busy. school is going well; i just finished my first set of midterms last week, but i haven't gotten the results yet.

i'm a little worried, since three days before my first exam, i came down with what i thought was a cold (but aparently was the piggyflu, as i was told on friday), and i was pretty much out of commission for the next week. my parents drove me to school so i could take my first exam, and then drove me home after. it was bad. but you can't reschedule midterms.

i'm still pretty wiped from it, actually. but i don't have time to rest anymore. because...

i have projects to do! that must be done around work and school.

projects like sewing my halloween costume (which i will post pictures of, once it's complete), and working on a MiniFrost, so i can have a prototype for another plushie of similar design (which must be done by Friday the 23rd). both plushies are pretty much complete, but until i get the rest of the materials (magnets and wire), i may be stuck.

there will be pictures of the plushies, as well. upon completion, of course.

so... there may be a lack of artwork now, but i'm working on it! and i'm alive.

and the curly tail and pink snout are slowly disappearing.

As a small heads up, work and school are teaming up to slow me down in art production. i am working on stuff. It's just... not as detailed as a lot of my other, older work. (Details = hours-and-hours of work, and i need those hours-and-hours for paid work, and school)

And if this dosn't make a good enough excuse for you, i can always blame the fact that last week i got a metal shaving stuck in my eye (lol cutting keys). and then a bug.
on different days.

I have a list of excuses a mile long. srysly.

PS. sketch commissions are your best bet for seeing fast, immediate artwork. *cough*hint*cough*

I have returned most gloriously to the wet coast.

The vacation was alright, but not all that restful. The first place we stayed had a night club in part of the hotel, and they played their music so loud that my bedsprings shook until 2am. Second place i shared my bed with ants, spiders and earwigs, and the third... admitedly wasn't that bad (my aunt is clean, and the house is in the middle of nowhere), but for some reason i couldn't sleep.

But that's okay. I still had fun.

Adventures varied from being on a zodiac and having its engine die and water rush in over the floor, in the middle of lake Huron, to meeting HunterBahamut face to face. There was also a near miss with a tornado, and several really stupid squirrels.

I have come to two very important conclusions about Ontario;
it's flat, and there's not a whole lot there besides farms. Also, Red Bay (on the Bruce Peninsula) is a portal to another dimension of cellular HELL.

speaking of cellular hell, i'm looking at a 200$ phone bill next month, because someone at my phone company couldn't get their information straight, and told me that even in other provinces, incoming calls were free. aparently they're not. not at all. they're actually pretty expensive. thank goodness for the little 'you're getting close to your credit limit' text they send. but... it's still really frustrating. for an extra 30$ i could have avoided that mess all together before i left. but hind-sight is 20-20.

so... i've cut the price of sketch commissions in hopes of getting a few more. I could really use the funds right now, since this bill sets me back a LOT in my 'functional computer' and 'AC' funds. (not to be confused with 'school', 'textbooks,' and 'transit' funds.)

ah well.

i had an awsome birthday. i spend the day at Niagara falls doing typical tourist things like the Maid of the Mist, Behind the Falls Tour, and (wtf they got rid of the butterflies) Niagara's Fury.

after that my parents and i got ready and went over to the American Falls and we met up with HunterBahamut and his parents, and went out for dinner... which was epic win. i think we sat at the restaurant for over three hours talking, then headed out and hung around the falls for another three.

it was quite possibly the best birthday i've had since i was 10.

Would anyone be interested in 10$ sketch commissions?

sketches would look something like this: [link]

currently all other forms of commissions are closed, as i have the attention span of a gnat, and the patience of of one as well. (i also find that full colour commissions, as well as most plushies, work out to be about 2$ an hour, which is useless in this situation, and i don't tend to have fun with them anymore.)

Profits will be going to a friend who's tight on funds at the moment.

If you're interested, please let me know ^_^

(or if this seems like a retardedly high price/stupid idea, also, please let me know.)

alternatly, i will be art-ing a little less until i get a new computer. mine is old enough that i don't want to spend much on getting it fixed, since it dosn't cost that much more to get a new tower. and lately it seems, as soon as one problem is resolved, another pops up. it's easier to get a new one instead of spending the same amount of money to fix this one, which is already out-dated.

for now i can use the other computer in the house, and i still have my tablet (i managed to install the drivers onto this computer despite the cd being in -wtf- chinese. and me not knowing how to read that), but photoshop and this particular monitor don't get along, so white in adobe photoshop elements 4 looks like a washed out orange and this makes for a dificult time shading/colouring anything.

but yes... kiriban is still on (92 pageviews left!), since the prize is a sketch/lineart and dosn't require colour.

Life is still going, up here in the great white north. Seriously, itÂs white. Still. We havenÂt had this much snow in years. In Mid-late December we had something like two feet, and itÂs still clinging around in places (and having it snow again last night has given it a bit more of a stronghold). ItÂs quite nice, though a tad cold. But I have a space heater, so all is well.

School is back up for me, and itÂs the yucky term. That is to say, a more heavily academic semester: Medical Anthropology, Physical Anthropology, and Math. Thankfully itÂs only three courses, which means I have time to work at my job, as well (as opposed to work at school, work around the house, work on art, work on writing, etc.). This also means IÂll be art-ing a little less frequently, I think.

I know, I knowÂ I always say that, and then crap out something decent. Maybe thatÂs what IÂm hoping for now, lol.

Anyway, through some glorious miracle I am not dead. Yet.

If anyone deserves a happy year it's you.

---

This past year has been one of the strangest and most challenging for me so far. I've made new friendships and had old ones stretched thin, i've learned what it's like to be honest with someone rather than exist in one sided empty feelings. I've been on my first road trip, and gotten second degree burns all across my back (which was a lot funnier than it sounds). I moved away from everything and everyone I'd ever known, to a place of solitude that I find peaceful and relaxing. I quit my old job and found a new one. I have proven i can live on my own without going insane and that i do what i must to carry on. i have learned to say goodbye, and am working on saying hello. I have learned that being a good friend is more important than having good friends. I have improved upon my art and recieved a DD for my efforts (and nearly had a heart attack when i found out), and in the year to come i hope to continue improving.

Even if everything that's happened hasn't been good, it's gotten me this far and i'm better for it. I want to keep learning and i hope that this year is fullfilling, rather than simply easy.

I hope your hear is fullfilling as well, and that it's everything you need it to be.

"Using this power you can restore dried up springs.'
Okami game book... thing. Distributed by Capcom, written by Clover.

2.Stretch your left arm out as far as you can. What do you reach?

air? oh. umm... moving it... uh... my garbage can with the swinging lid.

3. What is the last thing you watched on TV?

watched that i paid attention to? 'cause the TV was on earlier to some hollywood realter show and my attention drifted over once or twice.

the last thing i paid attention to was Get Smart.

4. Without looking, guess what time it is:

1:25

5. Now look at the clock. What is the actual time?

1:28 (LOLOLZ INTERNAL CLOCK) ... actually, i just set my alarm clock a few minutes ago.

6. With the exception of the computer, what can you hear?

my cat, howling... because aparently she forgot where i was and had a panic attack... oh, and Evanescence. and MSN, telling me someone just signed in.

7. When did you last step outside? What were you doing?

about half an hour ago, to shovel the driveway where the snowplow THREW ALL THE PILED SNOW. and this at the demands of an aunt.

8. Before you started this survey,

umm... i... i can't remember. my work days?

9. What are you wearing?

clothes. you should try them, they're nice.

... oh.. seriously? blue striped shirt, black Munich t-shirt, undershirt, home made pj-pants and a second pair of pants underneath, white socks and a ponytail. on, and earrings. and contacts.

10. Did you dream last night?

the same thing i dream every night Pinky. TRY TO TAKE OVER THE-wait, oh. normally i dream all this crazy trippy stuff that would make this SO MUCH MORE INTERESTING... but last night all i drempt was that Naoko came back and she looked completly different and i didn't recognize her. when my parents come back from the airport, we shall KNOW IF THIS IS TRUE.

11. When did you last laugh?

this morning when my grandpa tried to scare me and gave up when i didn't flinch.

12. What are on the walls of the room you are in?

NOTES ABOUT YOUR GRAMMAR. and of my spelling. stfu.

two windows, one north and one west, a door poster of a snarling black panther, a kingdom hearts poster, a poster of a dragon breathing fire on a bunch of itty bitty knights and some power outlets. i think there might be a phone jack and a cable outlet somewhere, but if they really exist, they're behind furnature.

13. Seen anything weird lately?

i went for a walk a few days ago and saw a dead vole hanging in a tree and drooling.

14. What do you think of this quiz?

i think nothing, therefore i am not.

i believe you've already asked me this. oh wait. no. that was TV. YET THE ANSWER IS THE SAME.

16. If you became a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy?

a cruise somewhere in the tropics. for like... two or three weeks. i'd probably save a lot for school, donate some, and pay for some of my friends to go on vacation with me somewhere really nice.

17. Tell me something about you that I don't know about

I sleep with my eyes open.

18. If you could change one thing about the world, regardless of guilt or politics, what would you do?

i'm not sure. something like that requires a lot of thought, and for a meme, i'm not likely to devote much. i'm sure there's something i -could- change, it's not the guilt or politics i'd be concerned with, more than the unexpected reprecussions. like... say, how will providing food for everyone in the world suddenly change things? if everyone has food, the population will continue to skyrocket, and how long will that food last? what will happen when we have no more room for people? and so on, and so forth... it would require a great deal of thought.

19. Do you like to dance?

when no one's watching [:

20. George Bush:

*facepalm*

21. Imagine your first child is a girl, what do you call her?

Kitten. umm... wait no. Cupcake! lololz. i don't know, i'd probably pick out a few that i liked, and then once i saw her and we'd interacted a little, decide.

I've also recently gotten myself a job. This means i can actually get to school, now. and maybe even afford to have some fun again... once school is out.

Unfortunatly, this also means that, aside from a few commissions and possibly some sketches, i'm not sure if i'll be able to devote much time to art/epic pieces of work that i can post here.

Seriously though, between two 9-11 hour days at school, four 8 hour shifts a week at work, and then homework, i'm just a touch frazzled... and more than a little tired.

so yes. long story short: until work shifts are cut back, I WILL NOT BE ART-ING MUCH.

[link] invited me to rp with them, and offered me a link to their photobucket page telling me i was to pick a character (from the roughly 200 displayed) and that they would rp with said character.

now, i should mention that none of these 200 characters were drawn by the leopard. and also, if any of the other characters there were anything like mine, Mr.Leopard did not ask for permission from the artists before adding them to the photobucket account, nor did he ask permission from the artists to rp with them.

this: [link]
was among the pictures in their stock of characters, and i was not asked permission. notably, i was not even credited (unless you count the tag in the jpeg file where my username sits between the title and the .jpeg) even more irritating, is the fact that my friend's character is also in this picture, and is not credited either.

to further this annoyance, aparently, Zero is now Yoko, and Japanese. oh, and did i metnion, she's a feline?

anyhow, i'm not sure if this counts as art theft, or if it would qualify as something else. somehow, it seems wrong to me, and i'd appreceate insight into the affair.

also, i'd advise you to check this: [link]

school is grand, but it's a lot of work, and for me, schoolwork comes first. then work work. then fun (drawing, sewing, gaming, etc.) this means there's a good chance i won't be drawing anything highly detailed and new for a little while... i do plan on at least attempting to, in my spare time, but since everything's up in the air right now, i don't know how much spare time i'll have.

on the plus side, i tend to doodle on my notes quite a bit, and some of those doodles and concepts will end as fully rendered digital images i'm sure.

The road trip was awsome, with possum sauce. Silverwood is one of the coolest places i've ever been, and Aftershock is without a doubt, the best rollercoaster i've ever been on. front seats made everything more epic.

School is starting up again soon, so plushie commissions are going to come to a somewhat grinding halt. artwork should continue on at a slow pace... which is what it's doing now... so it's all good.

there's been a lot of unpacking, and we're starting to be able to see the house, instead of just piles and piles of boxes.

i've ventured out a few times back into the city to visit friends. aside from the two hour transit trip, it's not so bad.

most of my time outside however, has been spent in the fields and woods with my dog. it's amazing, being three houses away from the river and woods means there is so much to see ane explore.

i've seen hawks, bats, voles, mice, rats, coyotes, rabbits, squirrles, eagles, osprey, and even a fox. there's also a great horned owl that likes to sit in one of the trees outside my window and i hear him once and a while, although i have yet to see him.

we've been building a shed in the back yard so that we can clear out some of the junk in the garage, but we decided it looked awful in the place we had it, so we moved it. this meant a lot of digging and lifting, and i've been pretty sore, although more because of my back than the hard labor.

when we moved the shed we saw that there was a vole underneath it, and my dog, following instinct, decided she needed to kill it. we stopped her, but she'd scared it enough that by the time i got it from our back yard to the woods it had a heart-attack, and rolled over onto it's back twitching. but that's nature.

i applied to the local coffee shop, and had an interview today. if i get the job, it'll be a lot easier to get to than anywhere else, because it's only six blocks away and i won't have to catch a bus. i'm just not sure i'm coffee shop material. i've also applied to Opus art and framing supplies. i think i could handle working in an art supply store a little easier than working as a bar wench. i hope so anyway.

the sewing machine has finally been unearthed, which means i should be able to start up on commissions again fairly shortly, for those people interested.

tune in next time for news about a road trip, sewing and general tom-foolery.

the permanent relocation went well. i'm set up in a nice spacious living... er... space. there is enough room for all my clutter, and that is rather impressive.

it's been blazing hot here for the past few days, which made getting everything here rather uncomfortable. but, at least it wasn't raining.

the animals are really enjoying the change, which is something we were worried about.

transit is about six blocks away, which... isn't great, but it's not horrible either.

i didn't think this was going to be some major drama deal, but i was still worried. being this far away from my twenty year history is a little... strange. but i think i can handle it :]

i don't understand why all of a sudden my mind's going back to that kid from elementary and highschool. damn i messed up. i don't even know why... probably because i'm too shy or something stupid like that.

i found his email somewhere, i want to try emailing him. i'm not sure why i don't, i mean, in 33 days it's not going to matter anyway.

i guess it's that usual fear of having been heavily influenced by someone else, and knowing they don't even remember your name.

aw crap, i'm emo-ing again.

no artses for anyone just yet. i'm in the middle of the childhood vortex of doom, as well as pure and utter CHAOS around my house. and until probably mid July, nothing overly new or grand is going to wriggle its way out of my brain.

But IÂve walked the same streets and alleys for over twenty years, so I hope the past and future arenÂt cut up too much.

---

IÂd elaborate more, but IÂm tired of people sitting on their high-horses and preaching at me. I know IÂll be fine, I know not to let things get to me; I donÂt need somebody else to force an unwanted opinion about it down my throatÂ especially when the people preaching at me arenÂt able to do what theyÂre telling me to do. (Constructive critiques donÂt count in this. BUT MORONIC COMMENTS DO!)

Do you know how irritating that is?

ItÂs like hearing over and over again how Âthings are gonna look up,Â or how people are Âgoing to look into thingsÂ and never do. Half the people IÂm stuck living around and socializing with are all talk, and while it doesnÂt drive me mental, I still find it irritating, and more so because itÂs like the people are living in a constant state of denial.

I meanÂ fuck, youÂre not the hot shit you think you are, guys. ThereÂs arrogant, and then thereÂs just fucking blind.

Oh dear, it seems as though IÂm rantingÂ. and on an opened journal, no less.

This would be where knowledge of the way people interact comes in useful.

---

Anyway, I havenÂt been drawing too much lately. Life keeps getting in the way, and I justÂ havenÂt felt like it. I have books to read, tests to take, and a world to move.

PS. When all else fails, drive by the houses of people who bug you, with your car stereo up AS LOUD AS IT WILL GO. And honk a lot. TheyÂll like it. Really.

life is going alright, i havn't been drawing much lately though. i just havn't felt like it. strange, but not unusual, i don't think. classes have taken top priority, but that's a good thing, i think, because i'm actually getting decent marks.

i'm not sure what exactly i'm going to do over the summer - i know i'm going to work. either at the same job i've been at for three years, or at a summer camp. i'd really rather work at the camp, but i'll take what i can get - they both have pros and cons.

anyhow, hopefully i'll start drawing again soon

outside myself everything's going well. or about as well as it usualy goes; the trauma level is staying steady at the 'moderate' level. (not MY trauma level, just the level that drifts in and out of my life and living space)

inside head was kinda a mess for the last few days because of another stupid nightmare. not that it scared me, but it was just one of those things that shook me up for a few days. compliments of Baha though, i think i cut the 'out of it' level down to half-time. so glomps to him [: (no really, go hug him.)

and then yesterday, with massive amounts of stupid, encouraged by lower brain function and tylonal made me say some pretty retarded things to people i shouldn't have said them to. i don't actually know what i was thinking at the time, just that RIGHT after the fact, i knew it was a mistake. one of those things you just KNOW. taste of foot, anyone? so i'm going to have to downplay and be extra tough for the next few months, because i was making a big deal over nothing.

kind of like now...

well... kinda-but-not-really.

life's getting in the way of a lot. i should just die so i can draw again. (not meaning that in any way to be emo *snicker*)

i've got homework coming out of places i'm pretty sure i didn't put it. and exams too. how that excuses me from drawing over the winter break... i'm not sure. in fact, i'm pretty sure it dosn't. truth is, i have been drawing, but i can't seem to finish anything. ah well, what can you do.

i've gotten some pretty good ideas recently, with any luck i'll be able to draw them out. there's one kicking around my brain right now, actually, but since i'm waiting for THIS PERSON ---> [link] i won't do it right now.

lastly, umm... i have a TON of watchers, and i have no idea who actually WATCHES me. so could you leave me some sort of note? just a hello, or something totaly random like STRETCHY-PENGUIN-CHEESE!

it's been almost two full years since i've officially submitted stuff. stuff that can stay, anyway. thank you school. which is almost finished, unfortunatly.

i probably won't submit more for a while, the stuff i've put in ranges from late 2005 to 2007, and it's here for the soul purpose of me being able to say 'why yes i do have a DA account!' in respsonse to the questions i seem to be getting more and more frequently.

anyway, i'd get into my personal life, but that would be pointless, as i'm currently being stalked by a creepy- nevermind.

that is all.

also, i'd like to apologize; because of the ban of DA in my household, i may not reply to comments. i'd love to, but because of the issues surrounding this current, present time it isn't going to be possible. (mroe creative comments are likely to get responces though )

actually, i got home from work yesterday, went into my room, closed the door, shut the curtains and turned off the light. then played video games for the next seven hours. then watched tv for an hour. then went to bed and slept for twelve hours. it was a good day.

if you watch me, good for you. comment once and a while.

while i'm on my rant that i'm no doubt going to regret later, let me say that it pisses me off to no end to see people who can't draw worth crap, get favorates coming out their asses, and comments on how 'nice' their art looks. and me? granted, my art isn't spiffy. and most of the time, i hate it. but ONCE and a WHILE, when i draw somthing i like, what happens? nothing.

i shouldn't have to watch fifty million people, and comment like mad just to get a few pageviews and comments in return. no. sorry. that's not how it works.

so i'm leaving. i'll be back eventually. before Christmas for sure. because i'll have to give a proper, FORMAL goodbye.

but for now, everyone's making me sick.

and no. i havn't drawn anything in over a week. nothing i'm going to subject to a lack of comments.
