why are you all still here :V
jk... i'm rly quite touched and ashamed that I still get page views even though I havn't updated in a while <3
I even failed at updating my sketch blog ([link]) regularly OTL
but I'll try I rly will. I draw during class all of the time so I'll attempt to scan them and maybe finish a pic or two >w>;; It would be easier if I knew how to speed paint :c

soanyways... KIRIBAN AT 15,000
getting close now. If you catch it you get a chibi of whatever you want... but keep in mind that I'm not so good at furies or mecha so if you request it I'll try my hardest mkay <3
if you go to the afore mentioned sketch blog you can see samples of my chibis (last and first entry). But you guys know the drill- screen shot the page if you see the 15,000 page view!

also- I almost have 100 watchers >w<!!!
I will also probably do something for my hundredth watcher- either full body of my regular style or a chibi depending on my work load at the time c:

yes.... school + work = very little free time
the free time I usually have goes towards P[A] [link]

EDIT--
also, i forgot- when school gets a little more settled I will probably open up commissions- at least for chibis. I rly need money because I'm saving up for two big things.
1) I rlyrly would love to go to Anime Expo (cali) for the summer. It will cost money to do though so I want to make some extra cash c:
2) I am hoping to do an exchange program to France or Australia next year. Unfortunately it costs so much just for the plane tickets OTL so I need money for this too (this is the priority of course, but I'm hoping to get a scholarship for this).

So look out for that ok- any suggestions? any general comments? ilu guys mkay <333

ummm, you know how I only update once in a blue moon ryt... well it's mostly because I usually just sketch, but I don't like putting unfinished work up on DA. Not to mention I think sketching is a lot funner than trying to make professional pics yes. So I started a sketch blog. I will put up sketches and WIPs. Some of them might end up on DA as finished pieces but there will most likely be a lot of things there that will never get to DA. SO if you like my art enough to want to see my sketches go give it a visit mkay c:

also: bought me a subscription!!!!! I feel so lucky to have such a good friend like her. Not to mention she is an amazing artist (like you don't already know ohhoho) so go commission her for some of the cutest chibis evah! >w<

okok- so i am thinking of never coming back to DA again because I keep getting attacked by viruses here. It usually isn't much of a problem since i have all kinds of protection on my computer to combat problems (and my dad knows everything about computers), but i just can't handle it. Especially since just now, i was looking through random deviations and a full on attack happened. It was a really bad virus I remember well because it killed my computer down stairs for a while. I hope my virus scanner kills it, but if I have to go through months with no laptop I'll be pissed.
How do I know its DA? It only ever happens here! i use the computer A LOT, and the only times I have trouble is when I spend too much time on DA or have too many DA tabs open. Viruses for some reason come at times like those- and it isn't that it happened once or twice- I've noticed it for a while now.
HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THESE PROBLEMS? I know one person on another forum told me it happened to them and their friend too, but I really want to make sure.
I can't handle another virus problem so I might leave, but I really love it here regardless of all the problems DA has. I love all of the amazing artists here and finding new artists who you can watch improve. Not to mention this is a really good place to do commissions. Also, most of my friends have galleries here and I would be sad not to be able to watch thier gallery.
I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE BUT I MIGHT HAVE TO ;A;

I really envy people who do really good traditional art. I wish I could use copics even half as well as my sister does. She is really good with them and I think her style is amazing! that is why you should commission her. She works hard on every picture- she has to or she wastes her copics rytryt- and those things aren't cheap. but seriously, she is looking to do commissions and I really think that her art is worth the price. GO COMMISSION HER!!!!

Growing up listening to all of my father's music I had always loved Michael Jackson. His songs are some of the best ever and his talent will always triumph over his recent brushes with the law. No one can deny that Michael Jackson really is one of the greatest artists of our time and his songs helped move a few generations. I seriously cried when I heard he was dead today. I hate that the younger generations will remember him as the man who changed his looks dramaticaly and was accused of molesting little children. I don't think this horrible memory will live on in light of all of the beautiful music he left us with though. So though I know none of you guys need to read any more sappy words from someone who admittedly has never even seen Michael Jackson in person, it just makes me feel better to write this out. I was trying to think about which song of his was my favorite and it's really hard to do. First I thought "Beat It", but then I figured it was out of "Smooth Criminal" or "Billie Jean." But the song that really touched me the most was the song "You Are Not Alone". It makes me cry when I hear it and he sings it beautifully.
Which was your favorite?

oh man, also ferra fausset died. I didn't know her at all, but my father had her poster like every other male of the time. RIP Ferra Fausset
