So, um, yeah. Instead of pursuing my artsy side this week, I have taken up WoW. Thus, I have have done nothing productive with my break so far. I am having a crappy drawing week (when trying to practice anatomy, all that comes out are stiff, effeminate, generic 3/4 view bodies), so I'm telling myself that I'm taking a hiatus from drawing, so I can recharge my art bank. Still planning on doing a coloring tutorial, though, and show you how to exploit a gradient map/a hard airbrush like no one's business.

I'm Slashfiend on Kargath, and I'm currently a Draenei Paladin of level 9-ish. I am leeching off my friend Sean's account, because I am cheap and like to inconvenience him by being on when he wants to play.

Randomly, Lordi is the shit. I have been listening to "Would You Love a Monsterman?" nonstop for days. It is my ill-suited but awesome theme song. Plus, I can sing along with it without leaving my vocal range, make fun monster hand gestures, and confuse my roommates. Download it illegally now!

This quarter flew right past me, and I'm a very, very happy girl right now. Not because of finals: I'm relatively certain I did crappy on them, but because this quarter is now over. I now have a week to do nothing and not screw myself over academically.

As such, I'm planning on having an art week. While I make no promises, I'm thinking about doing a coloring tutorial, as asides from LeeGaara smut (...You will be getting no smut of any sort. Just to be clear.), is the most commonly requested thing from y'all, my awesome watchers. Whom I love very, very much. I also plan to work on more traditional stuff, because I haven't played with my markers in forever, and just got this huge thing of card stock. Or, knowing me, will do a bunch of bullshit doodles that none of you will ever see, because they are bullshit doodles.

Another non-promise: I'm thinking about taking commissions. After a fun conversation with , she persuaded me to try and start doing things for money. I thought I'd see if anyone was interested in that sort of thing before putting anything formal into the works. I'm still kind of hesitating, because I know my procrastination problems are quite epic, but it'd be awesome practice for when I have a real job. Once again, no promises about whether or not it'll pan out.

Tagged by :

The rules are:
1 - Post these rules
2 - Each person tagged must post 8 random facts about themselves
3 - Tags should write a journal/ blog of these facts
4 - At the end of the post 8 more persons are tagged and named
5 - Go to their page and leave a comment telling them they're tagged

And thus, eight random facts about me. I've done this a few times already, so if there are repeats, ignore them.

1.) Today, I went and tried on dresses, just for shits and giggles. I reaffirmed that I am a jeans and t-shirt kinda creature, and that I cannot wear things with plunging necklines.

2.) I have been playing the crap out of Rune Factory (the new Harvest Moon). I am pimping it to everyone who owns a DS, and needs a social life so badly they're willing to settle for a digital one in which you stab monsters and try to get a pixelated lady to marry you. It's fun for reasons that are beyond me to explain.

3.) I need new shoes. When I stepped in a puddle, the bottom of my foot got wet. When I looked down, I found that I could see my sock through a hole I'd worn in it. I have many blisters on them now, because I am also cheap.

4.) I dropped Drawing, Proportion, and Perspective again. I have not been to the class in six weeks.

5.) Lately, I've been drawing lady folks. They're fun, and give me a chance to try and draw my latest OTP, Yoruichi/Soifon. So far, I hate everything, and obviously need to practice more females.

6.) Somehow, my mattress moves about three inches away from the wall when I sleep. For the life of me, I can't figure out what I'm doing while unconscious.

7.) I'm incapable of staying angry at someone. I have too much empathy for my own good, and I was raised to always try and see where the other person is coming from before making any judgments.

8.) If I could have a superpower, it would be telekinesis. It's only the coolest thing ever, and I'd never have to get up to do anything ever again.

</further proof of my lack of coolness>

I'm not going to tag anyone, but anyone who wants to snag it, go for it.

So, uh, it's been like... 6 months since I last gave an indication I was alive. I am. I am just being an anti-social fuck, and being too lazy to get off my ass and submit things. I'd like to say I'm preparing you for an art flood, but all I've got is one thing. A Naruto thing, but I don't feel bad about it because it is the reason 3/4 of you watch me anyways.

I've also got a brand spankin' new set of art resolutions, put here more for my purposes than yours. You are free to ignore this part.

Since I'm going to try and do this for a living and all, there are things I need to work on:

- Work more on bodies. Start with more torsos, and work your way down to hands. Then, Bob Ross willing, full bodies. It is time to stop drawing endless faces only to hate them two weeks later. Anatomy is important.

- Make bodies less stiff looking.

- Only half of the stuff I do should be fanart, if that. We need to get cracking on proper portfolio things! Or things for cons, because we are poor and need to sell things.

- Practice more in 3D things! It's probably going to be where you end up, and you want to be employable for reasons other than a sunny personality and big boobs.

- Practice more in Photoshop: your buffer is now gone, and your classmates are quickly catching up and surpassing you, because you have not touched it since you've been in California.

- Do more proper backgrounds: try speedpainting.

-Start playing WoW. ...It has absolutely nothing to do with art, but it looks fun and you have zero self-control.

So, get on that self.

In other news, I have discovered the magic of utorrent with port hacks and an awesome torrent site. The world is mine!

I've made someone quit the internet! This is perhaps the proudest day of my little life.

It all started with this comment made on my LeeGaa Sketchdump. Normally, I'd ignore this sort of comment, but upon a visit to her page, discovered she was an idiot. She had been pulling this shit on other Gaara yaoi pieces. Thus, I called her on it.

Apparently, I am evil, evil person who unjustly makes fun of her and wrongly accuses her of art theft. Thus, she is "leving devond" (a feat so large she posted it twice), and wrote some crappy gawth poetry, because I ruined her life. My favorite part is the part about how my life has no meaning because I think Gaara is gay. Technically, I think he's asexual, but has romantic feelings for certain men that may or may not lead to a sexual relationship. But the best part is easily how she hates me as much as Gaara hates the world.

This isn't an invitation or call to go harass her too, amusing though it may be. I just wanted to share.
