OK, so I'm working on three pieces of art, but they arn't coming out as I want them to... SO, this is where you guys come in.

For this one time only, I am going to take requests. I can't guarantee that I will get to all ideas posted, but I need stuff to get my "drawing mind" going.

So... READY.SET.REQUEST!!

<__<

I swear to goodness, you guys posted a lot while I was away. I'm don't mean to not comment on journals or ignore anyone's pictures, I just gotta go through them all.

Dragon Age 2 Legacy DLC came out a while back and I still haven't played it. FFFFFFFFFFFFF... So art's taking the backseat again whilst I take more time to eye Fenris, I MEAN, kill darkspawn...

Repeat: not ignoring anyone, just being a fangirl... Hee...

...I have bathed in rivers and slept in moonlight.

Life is good.

I apologize for this, but I'm starting to draw more human art and less Sonic art. I do not plan to drop my Sonic fandom. I love my characters too much. I'm just taking a little break. I do not plan to be away long this time, but getting away from the city and escaping into nature while the weather is warm. A couple of nights in a tent, some fishing, I'll be right as rain.

Be ready for some new arts when I return. Ciao lovies~.

So a friend of mine said to me "Sonic is a dying fandom."

Of course being a fan of the style I want to do something about it. Something that brings the Sonic community together and maybe get some more fans and supporters.

I have discussed plans with a couple of people about doing one large picture with everyone drawing their own characters in a scene with others. But this picture would all depend on people participating and wanting to have fun with it.

Also, due to seeing a couple people posting pictures based off songs, I was thinking of picking a song and tagging a person for each line of the song.

Of course, this all depends on people wanting to participate. It would be sad to try this and no one finish it...

Feedback or suggestions or rants please.

So all my art trades have been finished. Only waiting on  Bayonetta 's part. Moving on to new art ideas I find myself wanting to do a couple of things.

More Action: Dynamic poses, blur effects, speed lines... I want to capture a really action-y moment. Waiting for a scene to come to me.

Video Games: Yeeeeeah, I'm a dork. I want to draw some of my favorite game... erm... I guess you would call them gimmicks? Don't want to say 'moments'... Or Memes... Ah, I dunno, you'll know them when you see them.

What happened to that Comic?: Writing, plot holes, changed ideas... Just forget about it for now.

Here's the status for the art trades I've been doing:

 kitt_kitten - Complete
 stickdude32 - Complete
 bayonetta - Complete
 shadowwalk - Working on


(Why is there no preview button for the journals?)
--edit--
This has to be the most I've posted within a week's span....

My Art Trade status is now: "Open"

Please comment here or send me a note.

If I owe you a piece of art please tell me. I believe I'm in the clear though.

So, I'm ready to get back into it, this mess that we call an art community. Ruts and walls and blocks can hold me no longer.
I swear this week I am posting art. Be it a draft, black and white, lined... Something is getting posted.

I haven't ran away again. Promise. I just find myself bored with drawing lately.

Like, I'll open Sai, start a new picture, spends hours looking at the computer monitor, my eyes go out of focus, I start daydreaming about something totally unrelated to what I wanted to draw, I try to draw the daydream instead, then I get hungry, go eat, come back, stare at the screen some more, end up chewing on my tablet pencil, smack myself, force myself to draw a random image I find on Google, lose focus, go and play a console game....

I tell myself I want to create a picture, I want to make art and let my pen touch my tablet in ways only horny teenagers would, but I just can't... Like an old guy who can't.... OK, I'm stopping there.

In a nutshell, I'm in a rut...

FenrisFenrisFenrisFenris.....

*ahem*

Fangirling aside, I have to admit that I have been up three nights straight playing this game. I was a fan of the first game, so I'm an even bigger fan of the second game. Though if you haven't played the first game and just jumped to the second, lord knows why you would, then you can find a good deal of faults.

Also, the game is buggy. It will freeze, leave you at a loading screen, and even misplace the NPCs sometimes. I was so excited for the final battle, but couldn't take my enemy seriously since the game forgot to render their clothes... The boss, and their little minions, was merely a head attached to a gray blob that had the outline of clothing...

Bugs aside, I still want to get in this games pants. But then again, I am a Bioware nerd.

---EDIT---

So when I first wrote this journal I was playing DA2, rented, on my Xbox. I now have a PC copy and I love it. Load times are shorter and I haven't noticed as many of the bugs. Also, it looks wonderful. But then again, my computer rocks...

This is the only time I will use that term you see in the title... But this is truly going to be a mad crazy month for me...

6th - Pokemon B/W
8th - Dragon Age 2
15th - God Eater Burst / Yakuza 4
22nd - Dynasty Warriors 7
27th - 3DS / Samurai Warriors Chronicles
29th - The 3rd Birthday

Pretty sure I'm missing a few things... But this is going to be my month to break the bank. Thank you tax return~.

I was very happy to get it.
I was happy to start playing it.
I laughed at Deadpool and all the small banter before and after battles.

....and then an hour passed...

Very.Disappointed.
Unlocked everything before the night was over...
Doing missions...
Just boring...

I would rather be playing a mugen with the same name...
At least then I would have more characters to choose from.

I have been picking up more work and am having trouble finding time to sleep. I'm only able to work on things a little at a time so it may take a bit. But I haven't disappeared again.

--EDIT--

Picture closed. Bayonetta and Sheir will be added.

So, beat the first three bosses, unlocked new stages,

Totally loving stages and music,

New voice actors scared me, switched voices to Japanese,

Died multiple times via sliding off platforms,

Died over jumping,

Died under jumping,

Died with Sonic no longer having the will to live...

RAGEQUIT.






...may try again tomorrow...

I have been working on my art on and off along with watching some anime I have been meaning to get to. Currently I am watching "Hakuouki: Shinsengumi Kitan" and fighting the strong urge to be the weeaboo I don't want to be...

But I have to say that I adore the Shinsengumi... The Wolves of Mibu... The light blue with the white peaks... Ah, I could daydream all day and this anime is not helping. I get the strong urge to draw Japanese clothing and scenes... and ninja... Ah... It hurts so good...

Ahem! So it has been some time since my last real submission. But my next post will be a couple pictures at once, so I'll make up for it, I promise. If you wish to watch "Hakuouki: Shinsengumi Kitan" you can find it here: http://www.gogoanime.com/category/h.....nsengumi-kitan

If you happen to watch it please feel free to drop me a note or a shout.

"Picky" is one way to describe how I am with MMOs. But over the weekend I was happy to find Vindictus, or Mabinogi Heros in Korean, a wonderful MMO set in a dark ages setting with a classic story. This game has beautiful graphics and great combat. Not to mention it's free to play.

See the trailer and gameplay here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tM2yfu_IqV4

This game actually reminds me of the PS3 game "Demon Souls", except I don't die as often... Right now there are only three job classes that are gender locked sadly. But there are more classes to come, also, the gameplay well makes up for this small fact. I spent a whole day playing and didn't once feel bored. It fells more like playing a console game.

Defiantly try it out if you have spare time.

Following , it's a good idea actually.



No offense, but... There are some people who are getting too fake on FA. They only want posts, comments, or to see how many friends they can get. So let's see who will actually re-post this. This is a test to see who's paying attention. This is a test to see how many people in my friends list actually pay attention to me. Copy and re-post in your own bulletin. Lets see who the true friends are and I think I know who you are... Re-post this if you are a friend... Don't reply... just copy and paste this in a new bulletin as "Fake Friends".

I like a lot of music. There are very few things I don't like.

While watching 2NE1's MV for "It Hurts", Kpop, I found a video made by DJ Masa under his mmixes name. This video is A-MAZ-ING! He took 30 songs and mixed them to the music of the Taio Cruz song, "Break Your Heart".

If you are a fan of Kpop, Jpop, or just mixes in general I highly recommend you go to his website that's listed in his info box under the video. You can download any of the songs he's made and donate to his cause as well.

I already have 3 new favorite playlists.

Find the video here and be ready to jam out!

So, Nov. 16th has been listed as Sonic Colors release date on Game Fly. I already have it in my list of games to be mailed, though Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit also comes out on the same day, so I wanted to hear everyone's thoughts on the newest game in the Sonic legacy. It will have both 2D and 3D gameplay modes, like Sonic Unleased, unique powers for whatever wisp Sonic is using, and also multiplayer.

On a side note, I would be playing Sonic Free Riders if it did not need that Kinect stuff. I plan to get it, but not anytime in the near future... Also, why was Big replaced by Vector on Team Rose? Not that I am displeased with this, Vector is great, but why make the team change? Hm...

It is fixed and I am now cleaning it out. Removing old game downloads and then I will be running a defrag. Hopefully my computer will up to speed on the morrow an I will be able to post more images.

Last night my main computer lost it's connection to the internet. After resetting my router my computer informed me that it's firewall was down. It then proceeded to flood my screen with horrible Internet Explorer windows. I am a Firefox girl after all. This is when I absolutely knew that my computer was taking anal from a virus.

So the pages I have been working on have been postponed. I could use my wireless network and bring the pictures over to my secondary computer, which is what I am typing on now, but I have a fear that the files may be infected and do not wish to risk more contamination.

There is a bright side however. As I said earlier, I have a back up computer that holds the same art program as my first. So I can draw but I can not post pages 3 and 4 of Origin, which I managed to finish in "safe mode" this morning. So until I can get my primary computer up and running, virus free, I'm just going to draw a couple other pieces.

Hopefully my tech specialist can come later tonight and fix it.

Hello my darlings.

I know it's been a while since I've posted anything aside from my recent piece of line art. But now I am in need of all your help. I want to give Raf a new color scheme so she feels more like an actual Sonic character. Right now I feel that she looks like a human turned Furrie...

I've tried playing around with the color myself but I fear as her creator I can only see her in one way. I can't "Get out of the box" and see her in anything but what she is originally.

Here's where you all come in. I want you all to take the new line art design I've posted and color it to your liking. I'll pick two from all submissions and have you all decide which you like better.

**For the top coloring chosen, I will draw a free picture, inked and colored, of your liking.
