Something random you should know: I LOVE it when people draw piccys where the character's personality is intact(in other words, unchanged)~ it really gives the piccy a better feel because they act the same as they were made to be. So should you decide to draw me a piccy keep that in mind =P because I also pay close attention to personalities when I draw as well ^^

Trust what's in your heart

Hiya everyone~! SUPER short post today just letting you know that I've submitted new art(that I'm REALLY proud of) and that I'll be gone until Saturday(I'm going down to Orlando to go to Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios to celebrate my sister's birthday~)! ^^

And if you guys know Sakurie-chan(Fire Fox Sakurie) be sure to wish her a happy birthday since her birthday is in 10 minutes!(July 31st, aka tomorrow xD)~

Take care you guys and I hope you all enjoy the art!!<3

*still has head down on desk*

Good morning everyone...or afternoon rather. *sighs*

I come on and see Unknown-chan's pic and then I feel absolutely horrible. It makes no sense because I want to stand up for my friends and fellow artists but at the same time not act childish. And I guess I still am very much childish and immature and have a lot to learn.

It really isn't often that I snap. In fact, I usually never do xD But lately things just haven't been going my way and everything is just kind of a blur for me in real life right now. I guess ranting about the art thief was just another way for me to let out my stress from right now.

In one way, however, I appreciate the art thief's work because it made me realize how close I am to other artists on here and I even happened to become friends with Reenigrl after prolonging it for who knows how long xD So yay for Reeni-chan! <3
TheOtaku is actually a really small world. Even if I haven't said hi or anything to the artist, I've at least seen their work/style and recognize them on here. I didn't know the full extent of how close I was to other artists on here that I have never met before until the art thief came around.

Anyway...I've been working on new art, so expect that sometime ^^
I'll see you all around and take care<3

*puts head down and sighs*

I'm so so sorry everyone I didn't mean to outburst like that....I'm really sorry if I scared or hurt any of you, I didn't mean to act that way.

I've been in such a mess lately...it really has been difficult for me. My dad hasn't been feeling well and he's been feeling more depressed by the day. That really brought up some harsh topics in my house...and the art thief mentioned in my post below wasn't helping.

I recently got into an incredible art auction on gaia(my first, actually!), and I've been spending quite a bit of time with that...and plus it's given me a break from all of this stress I've been having lately. Disney has always brought a smile to my face...even though you guys may not like it as much as I do.

And I was just thinking about critique for a second...one of my friends refuses to accept any on her art and it got me thinking. What's wrong with letting others tell you your mistakes? It isn't done to make you feel bad, it's said to help you improve. And if you can't learn to accept both critique as well as positive comments from others on your art altogether, how can you truly learn to trust yourself as an artist? Just something I was thinking, is all.

I'm having to go back into my school routine of working on assignments everyday...so here goes! Take care everyone and I'll see you all around<3

The Days of Wine and Roses

Hiya everyone!! I was trying to refrain from posting until I submitted art(which is going to be REALLY soon by the way...because it's Den-chan's birthday gift xDD), but I couldn't resist because I felt like I was leaving you guys for a while T__T

I'm sorry for lack of comments by the way...usually I'm a comment machine but I've been sooo busy! Yesterday I got my driver's permit FINALLY after waiting for a LONG 50 minutes...but the lady was so nice and saw us waiting, so she moved us up to the next person to be called!! I was so ecstatic! ^^ But uh...I almost ended up failing the first part of the test LOL but it was all good!<33

I've been working sooo hard on Den-chan's birthday giftie and I'm hoping I can finish within the next day or two...I really wanted it done on time but gah I couldn't finish it that fast T___T
The title is a hint as to what it's about...(except for the wine part xDD) can anyone guess who sang that song? =P

Anyways...today I'll be swimming/going to the bookstore and then going to the Red Onion to eat dinner with my neighbors. So I won't be back until later.. *sighs* Sorry guys! But I promise I'll get around to commenting! *nods*

Aside from that, I've gotta go! So I'll talk to you all later<3 Take care!!

Flowery new art!

I updated a post recently, so I'll keep this short xDD I just posted new art today and for those that have commented on it, thank you sooo much<333 I'd be glad even if you just took the time to view it. Thanks so much!

And plus I finally had time to go on a commenting spree today. So I think I've pretty much gotten everybody. *nods* If I missed something of yours, please let me know!

Take care everyone!
