Small Hiatus
General | Posted 14 years agoTrying to fix my computer with my cousin has seemed to break it, so I'm going to be gone for a few days, or at least, not streaming or drawing or anything, just until he makes me a new machine.
Sorry, guys!
Sorry, guys!
Merry Christmas / Hearth's Warming!
General | Posted 14 years agoI hope everyone has a happy, healthy & safe holiday season! I love all of you, and I'm so sorry I haven't made that much work lately!
On my end so far, Christmas Eve has been fun. What our family does is basically get together for the night and do a Secret Santa gift exchange, right? So, I wanted to make my cousin a poster. Just a simple 11" x 17" of whatever. The only problem is that this particular cousin, I never really talk to or know much about. So last night at around 2 AM, I decide to start. Adding one effect in there, I think it was... A gradient map or something, I dunno, and the thing crashes on me. And I hadn't saved since I started. No big deal, right? Probably just go to bed and do it in the morning. So I do that, but then I lose motivation for it. Thankfully, my mother had my lazy back and got her some creams & perfume or something. Either way, she liked it.
Anyway, during that get together, I was finally able to be more of myself around my family, and I was happy that I could be. Of course, people were telling me to calm down & be quiet. Constantly. XD;; Oh well. Everyone else was being really loud too.
My grandmother got a cane. Pretty cliché right? Well, not to worry, because this one has a handy rear view mirror! And a horn! How fucking cool is that? Now when she's walking anywhere with this cane that she doesn't need, she can tell people to get the fuck out of her way and see who the hell is behind her! ... It had a "slow walker" sign on it, too.
Today I also realized how much I love my cousins. One of them is right into photography, so we get along a lot because of that. Another two are right into music, so we get along because of that. Others are as hyper as I am, others have a good sense of humor, but there's this one I have that makes me upset.
This particular cousin is sixteen. He has been to jail twice. He drinks, does drugs, smokes... He's just a wreck. A completely uneducated, misguided wreck. He steals from a bunch of us a lot whenever he's around us. Thankfully tonight, I don't think anything was stolen. Well, the back gate was left open, probably him, sending both of my aunt's dogs out into the street. It didn't take too long to get them, they were perfectly fine, but still. Smart move.
Anyway, with tomorrow coming up, I'm all giddy & excited, and if I keep this going, it won't end for a long time.
Happy holidays! I promise to have more art uploaded on a regular basis!

Stop SOPA!
General | Posted 14 years agoIssues
General | Posted 14 years agoToday, I've been trying to make some kind of picture to post: sketching different ideas, later coming back to them just to scrap them, rinse, repeat. I haven't been able to make anything lately that I've been able to sit down and like doing. I haven't been able to be proud of anything I've drawn lately, and it depresses me to no extent.
So, I'm just wondering if you guys have any ideas that I can potentially use to get out of this rut. My biggest issue is style choice; sketching several different ideas down has lead me to seeing a lot of inconsistency with my drawing. I don't think I have a set style that I like particularly. Perhaps I should sketch other artists' works and develop something that way? Perhaps I should try different approaches? Considering the amount that I draw traditionally, perhaps I should take my traditional doodles and take them into SAI to work that way?
I need some kind of answer, really. I don't want to be sitting here and posting nothing for you guys; I want to be able to show you all that I've got. I don't want to be some lazy little artist that does nothing with themselves because of discouragement.
Thanks

The Point of Realization
General | Posted 14 years agoToday, I learned how deep in the furry fandom I am. Or rather, how much it has influenced me & affected me through my affiliation with it.
Two of my friends were discussing furries today. No big deal. One of them says something about learning what furries are from Google Images. Already a bad sign. The other one confirms what they say and tries to say that yiff is a big part of what we will be defined by. And that's fine, because it's true; people are going to recognize us with it.
I try to explain to them though that despite the fact that mundanes tend to do just that, it's not a big part of who we are. Think about it: how many conventions have you see that are based around it? Large furmeets? Actual gatherings of actual furries as opposed to those stupid fetishists that continuously either draw or perform it? Even going to the statistics which FurAffinity has given in a 2011 survey, only 13% of submissions were adult related. Less than a quarter. They didn't listen though. I even brought up Waterways, a story basing itself around homosexual teen issues and bringing them upfront to people as best as it could. And all they could think of it was that it was about this one kid that couldn't get laid or something stupid. Great job showing your open mindedness, guys.
Yiff is not who we are, and if people actually did proper research as opposed to Google Image searches, CSI, 1,000 Ways to Die, poorly made documentaries, etc, they'd see that we're just a bunch of people that like animals enough to give them human characteristics more predominant than a regular person saying something like, "Aw, look, it's smiling~!"
During this, too, I was trying to tell them how furries have helped keep me from suicide and completely isolating myself from other people. A few years back, I was having a lot of trouble dealing with not growing up like everyone else: not having a father, being poor enough to have to starve for days, feeling more like a woman than my biological makeup would allow, being stuck acting & feeling like a child & a little puppy, being attracted to the same sex, as well as some other issues I don't really want to get into. I wanted to be like everyone else. I wanted to be normal. I wanted friends. I wanted to be accepted by normal people like I had been for my entire life beforehand. Even with the five friends I had gotten after the whole incident where I decided to tell this one kid I knew I couldn't trust that I was what I thought was bisexual (Leading to complete isolation & disregard from every single person I thought were my friends), deep down, I wanted everyone to like me again. I eventually found the Furry Fandom first of deviantART of all places, and the more research I did, the more I learned about communities and what they were about. It was perfect for me. I started making friends within the fandom and joined a couple forums where I could connect with them, and I couldn't be happier. Furries helped me accept myself. I couldn't thank them enough.
Anyway, getting this passionate about the issue really made me realize, well, what I've already stated: Furries have helped me more than anyone else could, and I could never thank them enough. So, to all of the furs out there, thank you for everything, even if you haven't been concerned with the issue.

Consistency Problem
General | Posted 14 years agoI know, I know, the title makes this sound like another "B'AW" or vent or anything, but I need some help; hear me out.
Well, I can't make much art anymore, it seems. I can never get myself to finish a picture, which I'm really disappointed in myself for. Now, I draw a lot traditionally; I've gotten into sketching people on the bus before & after college for example. Ideas flow to me whenever I immerse myself into my music, and I have ways to keep track of them.
The issue?
I have no motivation to <strong>finish</strong> anything. Maybe it's just because I don't feel anything for my pictures after the sketching / inking is finished. Maybe it's because I'm getting tired of my own storylines I've created. Maybe it's just disappointment in my lack of skill at this point in my life. I doubt that though; I've been pretty proud of myself lately.
I think it's because I don't see my drawings as having any other purpose than for practice, and even then, for what? I'm just going to keep practicing and keep practicing for no reason other than being good and becoming better. So, since I want to become a graphic / motion / interactive / web designer of some sort, I might as well treat my drawings the same way as I do my designs: make them for a purpose.
So, the big question of the day:
Should I open commissions?
Or should I join some sort of group that would appreciate my work?
Or should I do requests which I probably will end up not doing because of my lack of self-worth pertaining to them?
Or should I just make a new account while keeping this one for sketching and start over completely?

Quick question: Commission prices
General | Posted 14 years agoSo, I just got my Paypal up & working. And with that, since I don't know how to price, how much would you possibly pay for a picture from me? I was thinking $5 at most for a full body, full colour, full edit, but... Is that possibly too little? I dunno...
I was thinking of offering:
Sketch (Lines)
Sketch (Values & detail)
Ink (Black)
Ink (Colour)
Flat colour
Full colour
Photoshop edits of any above
--
Head shot
Bust
Waist-up
Full body
Thanks in advance!

Name my Fursona!
General | Posted 14 years agoWell, kind of. See, Zarry needs a better last name than Nakitama, which I just picked because "it sounded cool." I'm not kidding. So what I was wondering is if a bunch of you could help me. ouo
Here's some info about her to help you out:
~ Embodies my future hopes & dreams fully
~ Graphic artist & designer
~Antisocial; finds it difficult to talk to people, especially strangers
~Despite her antisocialism (Shut up, I don't care that it's not a word), when provoked, can talk for a long time about her interests
~Childish, playful
~Can find beauty in anything
~Usually very happy
~Can be sort of clingy when provoked
~Innocent Uke on that test thingy
Any more information I'll gladly give, but... I just needs me some help X3;;

So I just saw the first episode of MLP:FIM S2
General | Posted 14 years ago...
Holy fuck.
THAT WAS FUCKING INCREDIBLE!
IT WAS SO MUCH BETTER THAN SEASON ONE! DISCORD IS AN EVEN MORE BADASS VILLAIN THAN NIGHTMARE MOON! THE GRAPHIC & ANIMATION WORK IS SO MUCH BETTER! THE DESATURATION SYMBOLISM WAS REALLY WELL THOUGHT OUT!
I CAN'T WAIT FOR EPISODE TWO!
Anyway, I'm off to bed. I've been up for a good... 28 hours completely hyped for season two.

Turned Eighteen Today
General | Posted 14 years agoWhat kind of present do I get?
Wake up early, and go to college.
At first, I was intimidated, but when I got there, I was so excited for the course. I'm taking Multimedia Production, which covers everything media related: animation, graphic design, 3D design, sound recording, music production, web design & development... It's going to be a lot of fun. The only downfall is that I'll have to get used to a Mac's setup. For example: Where Ctrl, the Windows symbol, and Alt are on the left side of the keyboard, you have Control (Which doesn't do the same thing as Ctrl), Option (Which is like Alt), and Command (Which is Ctrl), in that order from left to right. I've always wanted to use a Mac, sure, but it's just going to be really annoying the first little while.
So, I get in, and what's the first assignment? Learn to juggle. In a Multimedia course. I thought it was a joke, but we even got the stress balls & everything for it. Apparently, it helps the brain grow and shows you that you can learn anything if you put your mind to it.
I'll be able to bring in my tablet, too; the computers have the driver built into the computers. I was so excited when I hear that XD
We also learned that the education system breaks down creativity; it tells you that there's only one answer to questions rather than being able to freely express & figure out ideas. This video explains the idea a lot better than I can:
https://youtu.be/zDZFcDGpL4U
I also had a short discussion with one of the instructors on resources & typography, so that was always good. I thought I wouldn't get along with anyone or anything like that, but everyone seems so nice... It's great.
After class, I met this one person who was really, really nice. He made a website, apparently, that was for printing T-shirts. It sounded really cool, and he sounded really intellectual & approachable about the course.
Since there was a strike, the city bus stopped in a strange spot, so I didn't know what to do, really. I followed someone in the morning that helped me out, and the guy I was talking about earlier offered to give me a ride at least around the campus, but his father decided to just drive me home. It was a really nice gesture.
So, let's just hope things run smoothly for the rest of the day. And the rest of college. Tomorrow, I have Multimedia & Comp Fundamentals, and Creative Programming, so... I'm pretty excited ouo
Happy birthday, me~ XD;;

For example: Where Ctrl, the Windows symbol, and Alt are on the left side of the keyboard, you have Control (Which doesn't do the same thing as Ctrl), Option (Which is like Alt), and Command (Which is Ctrl), in that order from left to right. I've always wanted to use a Mac, sure, but it's just going to be really annoying the first little while.
So, I get in, and what's the first assignment? Learn to juggle. In a Multimedia course. I thought it was a joke, but we even got the stress balls & everything for it. Apparently, it helps the brain grow and shows you that you can learn anything if you put your mind to it.
I'll be able to bring in my tablet, too; the computers have the driver built into the computers. I was so excited when I hear that XD
We also learned that the education system breaks down creativity; it tells you that there's only one answer to questions rather than being able to freely express & figure out ideas. This video explains the idea a lot better than I can:
https://youtu.be/zDZFcDGpL4U
I also had a short discussion with one of the instructors on resources & typography, so that was always good. I thought I wouldn't get along with anyone or anything like that, but everyone seems so nice... It's great.
After class, I met this one person who was really, really nice. He made a website, apparently, that was for printing T-shirts. It sounded really cool, and he sounded really intellectual & approachable about the course.
Since there was a strike, the city bus stopped in a strange spot, so I didn't know what to do, really. I followed someone in the morning that helped me out, and the guy I was talking about earlier offered to give me a ride at least around the campus, but his father decided to just drive me home. It was a really nice gesture.
So, let's just hope things run smoothly for the rest of the day. And the rest of college. Tomorrow, I have Multimedia & Comp Fundamentals, and Creative Programming, so... I'm pretty excited ouo
Happy birthday, me~ XD;;
Thanks, Everyone, for the Help!

Does Anyone Listen to Me? [UPDATE]
General | Posted 14 years agoIf you hadn't noticed earlier, this is going to be a rant. Turn back now if you don't want to hear my bullshit stories.
Now.
For weeks, if not the whole summer, I have been worrying about college: getting the money, paying off loans, meeting people, doing well enough, etc etc etc. People have been telling me over and over and over, "Don't worry; things will be fine." I admit, I do worry too much, but when I know something's wrong, I know something's wrong.
Today was orientation for college. Basically what I had to do was go there and learn how to use the library, take notes, get a tour of the campus, that sort of thing. Great. It was alright. Up until I tried to get my loan.
See, what happened there was, well... I don't have government issued photo ID. All I have is my college student card, really, and a piece of paper saying my health card will be in in two weeks. I showed the paper to the person at the college who was issuing the loans, and he basically told me "Go get some ID, or you're not going to be getting your loan."
Let me explain this to you. My health card is coming in in two weeks. School starts in less than one. I'm going to be going a week (If not longer, knowing the provincial government) without school supplies, textbooks, basically what I need to have to actually participate in school. I might as well not even show up; I won't be doing well in classes without, well, anything I can use to do shit.
I've been stressed over my loan for weeks now. I knew something would end up screwing up. But no, all of my friends, and my stupid fucking mother who never thinks about any of the consequences of any given situation all told me "Stop worrying, everything will be fine." And me, being the stupid, ignorant little shit I am decided to believe them.
What's worse about this whole situation too is that I'm pretty sure these people who are giving the loans are only going to be at the college today and tomorrow. So basically, I should just call the college and tell them I'm not coming in for a year. I made stupid mistakes and didn't get my ID issued earlier, and I'd like to fix those and potentially get myself a job so I know I can actually afford to pay my loan back when I need to.
Then again, it is partially my mother's fault, given that I'm not eighteen yet, and it's her responsibility to get my identification & whatnot fixed up... But saying it like that is like denying that anything was my fault. I fucked up, I know I did. I just... *Sigh*
I don't know what to do anymore. Should I just tell them I'm not coming back to college for a year, or should I just go and struggle that entire time, stressing myself out to the point of tears again and again because I don't have shit?
tl;dr: Can't get college loan because no ID; health card coming in 2+ weeks, school starting on the 6th.
...
I don't want to grow old anymore. Guys, if you've read this far, I'd really like some help...

Update
I called the college this morning explaining my issues. They told me that a number of students may not have their textbooks either, and that I'll have to explain to my teachers that I'll be waiting on my health card so I can pick up my loan. So that relieved a bit of stress, I guess. Now all I really need to do is get some basic supplies (Notebooks, etc) and I should be fine, I guess.

Quick Update
General | Posted 14 years agoHey, guys~!
As some of you know, in September, I'm going to be going to college for Multimedia. This basically means I'm going to be learning the basics for things like graphic design, web design, animation, 3D rendering, photography, videography, potential audio editing / mastering, advertisement, etc. With this in mind, I have realized that I barely know anything to do with what I'm going into; all I can really do is do basic Photoshop work and simple artistic photography (With a cheap point-and-shoot, mind you). Since I'm going to college, I have decided that I really need to crack down on what I'm learning, so I will be working a lot more on learning Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Cinema 4D (Maybe), as well as learning a lot more about photography & videography (Which will be really hard without a DSLR and the limited space on my piece of shit computer). I may also take into consideration learning a lot more about web coding, such as HTML, CSS, BBS, Javascript, etc (I may as well download Dreamweaver). This means I will have a lot less time to work on actually drawing; probably a couple hours a night, which I'll be spending sketching references, most likely. Y'know, just so I don't get rusty on you guys.
tl;dr: Less illustration; more graphics, web layouts & photos.
Also, I will be posting my favourite photos that I have taken on here today, so look out for a HUGE amount of submissions from me within the next 24 hours or so.
With college coming up, too, I'll have a LOT less time to actually be social and talk with you guys, so... As my birthday rolls around (Yeah, I'm starting college on my birthday), I'll be on a major hiatus, probably until the weekends. Maybe. I'm not too sure.
So, if you have been waiting for a request from me, or have asked for a commission, I officially have to call all of those off. Sorry for the inconvenience!
Let's just hope I have enough time a day to check & see what you guys have been up to! XD;;
