Hey guys, time to get that other journal out of the way.
I managed to snag a table at Akon 24 this year. I got to start making some new things for this year, and I was wondering what everyone would like to see? What animes are even popular now? What about videogames or TV? (I am so out of the loop.. I feel like the uncool grandma. ;; )

I am almost done with school, all I have is finals left to take. Wouldn't you know it though, my internet would have to crap out the week I finally have a little bit of freedom in-between exams. Maybe it's for the best. :c I feel like a caveman when I don't have internet. I'll have to check things at school in the mean time, where I will be camped out anyways this next week. Ughh so ready for school to disappear.

Anyways,
hope everyone is well and looking forward to seeing those who can attend Akon!~ I will update this a bit later with a location if they post the map ahead of time. C:

Hey guys, just wanted to give a quick update.

It's been brought to my attention that there are some places that are selling my work on ebay. I did not give them permission to sell my work.

The only place I sell my work at are certain conventions (which I list on my front page) and at my storenvy.

If you see my work anywhere else, I did not give permission for it to be sold there. Please just be aware of what choices are made when purchasing ANY artwork or products that are not from the original artist.



Annnddd I will get off my soapbox now. xD (I hope that speal didn't sound harsh. ;; )
School is almost out and I will soon be free to work on things for akon! Yay! So I will be posting a happier journal in the short future asking what everyone wants to see. 8D

Hey! Wow!
That last piece got a much greater response than I though it would. Wow!  I want to say hello to all the new followers and thank you!~~ I'm still shifting through my messages so please be patient if you sent notes or left comments. I will answer them all~ Cx

I also have a question -
Recently I received some really wonderful critiques on some of my pieces and fixed them up a bit. Would anyone be offended if I updated these pictures with the new and improved versions? I always get worried that some people may end up disliking the newer versions and I might have bricks thrown at me. OTL Some of the changes are anatomy, composition, etc. I don't have a website up yet, so I consider this place a stand in portfolio for the time being.
So please give me your thoughts!


Also got a commission and a project to finish up these next few days, but that is all I have going on in life. Wish I had more exciting things to say. This is the reason this thing never gets updated. Dx

Hope everyone is well!~

Edit to add - Whoa! Lurking in the darkness got a Daily Deviation! o.o; That was quite unexpected.. Thank you for featuring it! I really appreciate it!

Going through my messages slowly but surely.


--6 days ago-->
Whaaa you guys really know how to make a girl feel special~
Thank you for all the kind words and positive feedback on my latest piece!

I am still sorting through my messages, but I wanted to be sure that I said HELLO to all the new watchers and a really HUGE THANK YOU for the favs and comments~

You guys are awesome~~~

(lol I'm on tumblr too much)

Hey guys! Thank you for being so patient with me! I really appreciate it.

I'm gonna start getting that waitlist a moving. I needed to take a short hiatus for me to get back on track/inspired, and now I am back and ready to work!
Be on the watch for some sketches in the next few weeks.

If you have an questions or concerns please feel free to note me! CCC:

Also school starts tomorrow. Boo. ;; So the updates will be fewer like last semester.
Hope everyone is well!~~~~

Hey guys! I hope your holiday season was fun!
Just a quick update that I will be attending ikkicon this year. was kind enough to split half of her table with me so I will be able to attend. I will have the usual: prints, bookmarks, and buttons. Though not as many buttons as I normally haul around; ain't nobody got room for that.

Other cool cats that I have heard are going are and


Hope to get to see everyone who is coming out there this year!
Also,
Happy New Year! 8D<33

Whaaa who gave me a premium membership for a year??? T____T You are so awesome!!! Whyy? Why? You are so awesome thank you so much Anon~~ Merry Christmas Anon!

Hey guys, sorry I've been lurking in the shadows for so long. I really couldn't tell you what I've been doing lately. Something I guess.
I'm almost done with the school semester. Just have to get through Tuesday and then I'm home free till January.

People on the commission waitlist - I have to put private commission on hold this month. I have a few project things that need to get done this month so I need to clear everything for that. If you have any questions/concerns please feel free to note me.

um... that's pretty much it. so yeah. xD Wish I had something more exciting to comment on.
Oh no wait - My Christmas tree is red this year, that's kinda exciting right?

>>>>>>EDIT: TIME MOVED FORWARD TO 11:30 PM (CENTRAL TIME) TO AVOID CONFUSION.<<<<<<<
Hey guys,
For those that are interested in commissions I will be opening 2 slots and 2 waitlist slots at 11:30 PM CENTRAL TIME, Friday September 21.

Commission Information

I probably won't be opening sketch slots, but if you want one of those just note me about it too. Those are not included in the 2 slots and 2 waitlist.

Hope everyone is good. C: I am kindddaaa in a bit of an artblock of sorts? I don't really know where I want to go with my art, all I know is I want to go somewhere. xD So I don't know what new art I will have for the time being. I'm working on stuff though, I just don't know if it's worth finishing/showing.

Afest was a success! I had a lot of fun and got to meet a lot of talented artist this year.
ppl:

(these are just ppl that were set up this year! I met tons of y'all though!)
THANK YOU FOR THE ART TRADESSS!~~ (you fabulous people know who you are~ ;D)
My piece in the art show was very successful so thank you high bidder for being so awesome!! 8D

Commission - I am thinking about reopening these Friday, 9/21. I'm going to have 2 slots open and 2 waitlist slots open. C: I'll post another journal when I'm more positive on the date.


Also, I'm going to use this space to promote a project I'm a part of. The kickstarter went live a few days ago. Please take a look when you have time~(especially if you or someone you know is into tabletop gaming)
Bombshell Miniatures Kickstarter

Afest is next weekkkk. ugh so close I can't believe it. OTL I will be there as usual. I hope to have another new piece done by then, but we will see. Also my Disney Villains piece will be up for auction there. I pulled it out of the San Japan so it is still a 1 of 1 and has Hades, Frollo, and Scar on it. C:

My laptop has been gone since I went to San Japan. I finally got it back yesterday. I missed it sooo muchhhh~~ *strokes*  I can now focus on getting those last 2 commissions finished~~ (thank you commissioners for being so patient! ;; )

Speaking of San Japan, thank you to those who came by. I really appreciated you guys coming; I hope you had fun. I enjoyed San Antonio when I wasn't sick, lol. San Japan was different from last year, kinda still don't know what to make of it. I need more time to mull that over.

School starts tomorrow. I am dreading it super stoked. Nothing like a business law syllabus that is 24 pages long to get in you in the mood for learning.



Hope to see ya'll at afest~

Cross posted from my tumblr, but I got in! My Dollmaker piece made it into the storytelling section. I feel so whelmed you guys this is something I never thought possible!!! ;;~;;

The book looks like a realllyyy good one this year(cover is gorgeous in itself) so you guys should defiantly check it out!!

See you guys at San Japan for those that are going in a few weeks.

Hey everyone, long time no update it feels.

There are 2 days left to vote (I believe it ends Monday?, 7/16? )for my Maleficent piece in the contest! If you like it and would like to own it on a shirt please vote for it here

>>>>>[link]<<<<<

lol I know I don't stand a chance with all those other amazing designs, but I do appreciate those who have voted already! Thank you for that! And this will be the last time you hear me talk about it. xD

Tulsa is next weekend! I have nothing done for it so I really need to hop to it and finish up prints, bookmarks, and buttons. Not sure I'll have a lot of new stuff this year if you saw me at akon 2012. But! Please come by and say hi! ;_; I always love visiting with people! I will probably be taking some on site sketch commissions like last year so if you'd like one please bring a reference~~
See you all in Tulsa!

omggggg you guys! Thanks for coming out and making akon absolutely FABULOUS! I had so much fun you guys have no idea! I didn't take pictures but I was able to meet with tons of people and fellow artist!

I'm sorry I ran out of things this year. I'm usually more ambitious and try to restock during the con but you guys just worn me out. Going home around midnight proved to be too much for me. lol XD As is I am still really tired and I don't have much left for a voice.


My table neighbors (thank you for putting up with my loud and obnoxious voice and crap all weekenddd~~ ;;;; 0;;; )
(thank you for the LSP PRINT and CHARMANDER BUTTON OMG SO CUTE )

Some awesome artist I got to meet and even got to trade with some of them!


And I got to see some familiar faces like
+ more of you but I'm stupid and don't remember all of your DA and tumblr names. OTL forgive meeeeee!!!!

And new people from tumblr and da of the likes!

Thank you again for coming by! And for the artist who art traded with meeee~ You guys are amazing thank you so much I don't deserve it! ;X;



ALSO
omg, I got a new computer! It's so amazing and I type like crap on it cause I am not used to the keyboard. haha BUT THIS MEANS I CAN NOW       *LIVESTREAM*
yeah, so look for that. hahah XD

Yayyy it's almost here~~~~ It's monday so I can finally talk about it. xD

My table is on the corner, downstairs, at isle D-1~ I'm be sammitched between and C:


I got the usual prints, buttons, bookmarks,and a few posters for those who really want them. Please come and say hi~~ ;; 0;;<33


I can't believe I finished everything up so quickly this year. xD Everything's organized, just a few things left to dink with the display and sale binder then I'll be finished. It would seem my business cards won't be making the con though. I totally forgot there was a holiday when I ordered them. OTL I also wanted to have another picture finished buuuuutttttt I'ma be lazy and ignore it. lol

Hope everyone is well! Cx

Whaaa I'm so sorry I'm so inactive around here. ;_;

I have only one more test till the semester is officially over.
I'm going to try to be more active around here as a result. I'm going to start making pictures open for comments and critique as well as try to reply to everyone's comments/feedback.

I'm also going to make a effort to comment on people's work more. I'm sorry I'm such a douche person and haven't been saying much of anything these past months.  My inbox for art alone gets to 1,000 pieces a week if left unattended. IT MAKES ME FEEL WHELMED. ;~;

I'm super active on tumblr, so hit me up there if you want. (PLEASE NOTE THIS IS MY PERSONAL ONE. I will be reblogging crap on it, it comes with the territory. )


ALSO, akon is coming up. WHO ALL IS GOINNGGG? I'm so stoked. SO ready for a con.
What new buttons would you guys like to see this year that can make the trip??
I'm working on Korra, hunger games, and misc. characters for buttons and bookmarks. If you guys have any suggestions let me know! I always like to hear feedback! (Please note I can' NOT do MLP, Avengers, Batman, Young Justice, adventure time, disney, etc because of copyright things. It's bad enough I'm drawing korra and HG. <.> )


Lastly COMMISSIONS UPDATE:
I'm not opening them to the public just yet. I think I will do that around August. Maybes.

I will be seeing you guys there~ Ho ho ho~~ More infor about location when it comes closer to time.

I hope everyone is doing well, I know I don't really update much. I am sorry about that. ;_;

I also hope that those who got waitlisted get a table too~ I got waitlist last year as well so I know it is no fun hearing all these success stories. : / Just keep thinking positive and prepare like you are going!
Luck favors the prepared!


Also, for new art: currently working on a fairytale piece, got another mushed around in my brain that will be coming out soon. So expect more art in the future! C;

UPDATES: As many have mentioned, just a few hours ago congress has decided to postpone the SOPA bill. I honestly do not believe this is the end, but you guys can draw your own conclusions.

EDIT TO ADD:
NEWS ARTICLE HERE
and
HERE ? This one says it's been postponed indefinitely?

ONE NEWS ARTICLE HERE

The new controversial treaty being brought up is now ACTA?
ACTA makes SOPA sound like a the kiddy pool.

ACTA explained

I'll keep updating when I hear more from you guys. O:!


--------

Hey guys, a little late to the party but wanted to cross all my t's and dot my i's before posting.
suggested a journal about this and I agree!

Please please please, stay informed about the debate that is going around about SOPA and PIPA.
STOP INTERNET CENSORSHIP. If this bill gets passed many things are going to change around here, and not for the better.

Get informed: Visit americancensorship.org/ and Google has a site dedicated to it as well to see what you can do to help.

ALSO, rumors of Black March are spreading.

>>>Black March<<

PLEASE, before you commit to it, make sure you are protesting against the companies that support the SOPA and PIPA bill!

>>>Here is a list of companies.<<<

ALSO,
As some may have heard, megaupload was shut down, causing an attack by anons. PLEASE USE CAUTION. Not everything the anons do is safe, please read this article and use cation when browsing certain sites.


Lets ban together you guys and bring down all this SOPA and PIPA nonsense.
I wish everyone good luck with their endeavors, and I hope this bill doesn't pass. I wanna see you guys for years to come. ;_;


PLEASE FEEL FREE TO DEBATE AND ADD INFO IN THE COMMENTS! Unfortunately, this can stretch and affect not only the US, but other countries.

Holy flying poo you guys! seriously.. xD
