it's been over a year since I've done a Journal entry? kinda pathetic

well, to give a quick update; I've moved, not out of country or state or anything, but to some shiny new digs on the east bay. already I'm much MUCH happier about it. could even see myself living here for a few years by choice. it's stunning what a psychologically depressing effect the old place had pretty much the moment of move in. it also made me realize some things about how I treat the various apartments and living in general, and I'm working on making my apartment not merely a place I sleep and keep my stuff, but an actual home. which I historically have not done. Just little things, mind. Like actually hanging a picture or two on the walls, buying furniture and appliances that aren't completely disposable, and having an actual place for things instead of merely left in boxes or stacked/piled on the floor.

on the other hand, at the moment, I do not have a scanner, so nothing new will be forthcoming for a little while yet. I was never happy with the canon Pixma scanner I had, and when Mom's printer ate itself, it didn't take much thought to ship her mine. fortunately she's loving it in all the ways I did not, so it's found a good home. my next scanner will be a wide format 11x17 so I can finally scan my drawings in one single scan rather than 2 and then merging them in one. the big issue with the Pixma was that the corners weren't true 90degrees and getting the two scans to line up properly was pretty frustrating.

overall, things are going pretty well...and there's some plans on the horizon that when they come to fruition will vastly improve my general disposition, so yay.

so, the internet was out for the past 3+ months...but now it's back on! WOOT!

so hopefully I'll be more active again, figured now was a good time to renew my membership as well

so whats new with everyone?

so I'm actually drawing fairly regularly, and I've got a bit of a drawing bug going, and not too eager to let it go, so here we're goin!

right now I'm trying to expand and re-do my Imperial Guard lesbian regiment, the Prescian 38th. I'm trying to add the remaining kill team members, as well as re-draw the existing ones. Both Pixie and Sereph, I think can stand a full remake. I'm mostly happy with Specs, but I think I can do SOME refining as well.

I also want to get a couple more Red drawings, and a Molly or two in as well...


oh, and of course, I'm still working on the ever lovely Snicket's amokiri...now like a YEAR late...gods!

so yeah, I've been in a slump for a while now...can't actually get anything past the beginning/early middle stages...been TRYING to work on 's amokiri...and I've got it a ways in...but had to put it on hold due to total lack of ability to draw it...

I finally, FINALLY managed to finish something...Good Ol' Red to the rescue...but honestly, I'm nowhere near as pleased with it as I should be...but for a first drawing back, I guess it'll do. hopefully I can keep up some momentum, and develop some inspiration again.


I promise you will get your kiri...I just can't promise when

at long LONG last, I swear I think the last AmoKiri I gave away was like 5k or something..., someone won the AmoKiri.

and the winner is....

!!!!!

followed oh so closely by and but the cookie goes to who's drawing will be done just as soon as I finish my current one and get more details on her lovely character.

next AmoKiri at 14k, get ready for it also, still 5 spots left on the feature list!



1) For each of the 15 first people commenting on this journal-entry I will put his/her avatar and the three deviations I like most from his/her gallery on the list~ also, since this is a multi-topic journal, you need to mention that you want on the list.

2) If you comment, you'll have to do the same in your journal, putting me on the first spot. Completing it this way lists 15 people and 45 deviations! You get a free feature, and the meme grows exponentially.
