...as you can see, my subscription thingamabobber is over now, so I have to resort back to plain gray-and-black journal-ing :) It's okay though.

I haven't been doing much around here, although I did upload a few pictures since I last wrote. With the pressures of school and music, I haven't found much time to do ANYTHING artistic. Pooh :( But once summer rolls around, I'll try to do something to celebrate, yes? :)

Besides, the world will not be much the poorer for the lack of my atrocious scribblings. It's my friends--*cough* Izzy *cough*--who must upload something new soon, or else something terrible might happen (I can't think of what exactly, at this moment, but I'll get around to it, never fear).

Meanwhile, this is just to let you know that I have not died (I'm still looking through my subscriptions and favorite-ing loads of terrific art :D), and also so that I don't get tired of looking at that "It's about time I changed my journal..." entry from last November.

So au revoir, mes amis (is that right? My French, like my art skills, is atrocious >.<)
Or in just plain English: See ya later!

Well. The reason why I haven't updated for so long is I wanted to wait until I had the time and the inclination to fiddle around with the CSS a bit and fix some major galumping problems with my current CSS. As you can see, I decided to leave it close to as is--at least for now--and just go ahead and write something.

What's new with me:
I'm doing NaNoWriMo for the second time this year: www.nanowrimo.org. It isn't too late to join if you want to. There have been multiple persons who have finished 50,000 words in less than, what is it, 19 days? (I personally am rather behind, as well)
Anyway.
I was suddenly inspired to draw for some odd reason today, after months of idleness. And my newest deviation is a little profile of two of my favorite pet characters--Soren and Sera Luverdi. They're not my main characters, but I make it a rule never to draw my main characters--I know I'll just be disappointed. with supporting characters, however, I don't really mind if the quality isn't that great--which it never is, anyhow. The whole idea is just to have a likeness of them, no matter how inaccurate or unasthetically pleasing.

Actually, I kind of like how Sera turned out. Soren's hair is weird, though. Argh. Oh well.

And now for one of those fun little journal games that people pass around:

tagged by :iconrebeldork:

You'll be given a letter by the person who tagged you. List 10 things beginning with that letter that you love. Mine is "E".

(Wow, this is hard. I don't really LOVE love any of these--except maybe the first and the last one --but I do like them all)

1)Encouragement
2)Eggs
3)Everything artsy
4)Evergreens
5)Electronic devices (some--they make life easier)
6)Extra ice cream
7)Easter
8)English muffins
9)East
10)Escribir ("to write" in Spanish--ha! :)

If you want a letter, leave a comment and I'll give you one. :D

Adios!

Thank you so much to :iconayandora: for making this lovely new avvie for me (and for free too! She really deserves all the credit :D)

ayandora.deviantart.com/art/Av…

Everybody, if you have a spare minute, go check out her work, especially if you love cute, cheery art--she's the best at that :)

I absolutely adore my new pink angel! Heehee. I seem to be going through a happycolor/angel/cheerfulness phase ;P

P.S.--I promise to get to the rest of those features soon (to my forum friends, whoever may be checking this out)...I just have enough time to post up this shoutout for today...I'll get to the rest later. After all, I'm sure you guys want me to take a nice long time doing an elaborate feature and all, right?

(To people who may be reading this journal--I'll still keep feature slots open for commentors. I've a few people from the forums to feature, as I mentioned before, but journal commentors get first priority, as stated in my last entry: yuskity.deviantart.com/journal…)

OK, gotta go now. ttyl, as they say! :)

23 deviations and 32 messages. That was on my front page when I visited dA today. Thought that was rather interesting. :)

Anyhoo...I was going to learn some new CSS tricks today, but I decided I had no time to do anything but try out a lovely background :iconwrenstormbringer: donated as a prize for :iconxxordorfxx:'s contest. This is really one of the loveliest pictures in the packet, in my opinion :D I think I'll wait until next Sunday, perhaps, before I learn how to do all the fancy schmancy stuff. I usually change CSS's on Sundays.

Moving on:
This is from my last journal entry which, sadly, few people saw :( But I'm still doing it, just to let anyone out there know :)

THE RULES
I'll feature the first 10 people who comment on this journal by looking through your deviations, finding 5 I love, and posting them here. I'll also include my reasons for choosing those deviations. BUT you must do the same for 10 people in your own journal!

Last time I featured :iconrebeldork: who gave me the idea in the first place, and this time, I've promised to feature another amazing dA artist: :iconsehquethel:

So here goes.

FEATURED DEVIANT #2 ;)

4. Spring by Sehquethel I thought this was one of the best--if not THE best--picture in her gallery. Such a pretty pink flower (those who know me well know I have a soft spot for pinks), and it's shaded so beautifully too!

Sad kitty... by Sehquethel This one was just too cute. Who wouldn't want to pick up the poor sad kitty and give him a hug?

The Golden Lake by Sehquethel I love nature photographs, and this one definitely caught my attention. I like the way everything's half-covered in snow.

Me and My Little Sister by Sehquethel This picture was lovely--and so realistic, too. I especially liked the subject matter and the pose--the sisters look so close :)

1.  Summer by Sehquethel This looked good enough to eat. Such an appropriate picture for the theme: summer :D

---

And that's it for the feature :) :iconsehquethel: has a bunch of other photos and sketches in her gallery worth looking at--go check it out!

Personal news:

Script Frenzy started on April Fools (when naive people like me everywhere thought the mudkip invasion was the result of a very malicious, very determined hacker >.<), but I got a late start due to a competition I had to focus on over the weekend.

I plan to really start now, though.

I know :iconrebeldork: is doing it this year (yay!) and also a friend of mine, :iconashelflaed:. If there's anyone else doing it, it would be fun to hear from you :D

Good luck to all the writers!

Okey dokey, so...it's Sunday once again, and once again, I'm playing with CSS. I found a new resource. Two, actually. One led me to the other: forum.deviantart.com/community… and www.icyworlds.net/about/css There's a TON of great info out there on the 'net. It's amazing :) I'm still not satisfied with the way my journal looks (I spent about 3 hours on this one), but I'm still learning, so expect more CSS experiments in the near future :D

Anyhoo, :iconrebeldork:, one of my favorite photographers on dA, recently suggested a fun feature thing in her journal rebeldork.deviantart.com/journ… that I thought would be interesting to do. (edit: Oh, and plus--I just discovered that I'm at 1K pageviews, so you can consider this a little comething special that I'm doing to celebrate that. Though I didn't think of it at the time)

THE RULES
I'll feature the first 10 people who comment on this journal by looking through your deviations, finding 5 I love, and posting them here. I'll also include my reasons for choosing those deviations. BUT you must do the same for 10 people in your own journal! :poke:

I am, of course, starting with :iconrebeldork: because she's the one who gave me the idea. And then we'll see...I only know a few people on dA (and even fewer of the people I know ever comment, sadly)...but I do have some people I owe something to, like :iconxxodorfxx: who I will definitely feature if they want me to :) Ah well. I'm sure it will all work out.

So. Here goes:

:thumb63104144: This is one of my all-time favorite's from Ceci's gallery. I love the graceful profile, the hair curls, and all the pretty colors (especially cheery yellow!). Besides, I've never before seen a silhouette done quite like this. It's a very unique portrait, you must admit :)

:thumb80533352: I love the orange clouds in this one. It makes me want to go there--so peaceful and beautiful.

:thumb79380294: Even though this is only a pencil sketch, I like the way the figures are sketched--especially the nebulous woman-figure. I'd like to see it colored perhaps :poke:

:thumb79482080: I like the way this photograph seems to go on forever. And the colors are so bright and vivid. This scene is so perfect it looks like it belongs in a book. And as she says in the A/N--full view, please!

:thumb57619994: Another one of those "paradise" scenes. I love the way the sun reflects on the water. If you're ever stressed, just take a look at one of these :)

---

So, that's a snippet of :iconrebeldork: 's gallery--if you have the time, go on over there and check out the rest of it. There are plenty more gorgeous photos and pictures that I could have chosen to feature, but I was limited to 5--so, go see the rest ;) rebeldork.deviantart.com/galle…
