As 2010 becomes the past, we approach 2011 with new hopes and dreams.

say goodbye to the old year and hello to the new year.


Come on guys, say something! ; a ; /shoves ocs
Nathanael: Wait, what are you... But I don't have anything...
/sigh+hand rubbing temples

Xen: Ahaha, don't mind Nate, he's really bad at this.

Nathanael: WHO SAID YOU COULD CALL ME THAT? And who's bad at -

Xen: /covers Nate's mouth
I hope everyone is taking some time off to relax! And that you all have had a good or reasonably decent year. If not, hey, we have a new year and I'm sure it'll make up for it! ^ u ^

Olive: Yes, have a safe and happy holiday everyone. n u n

PAPER: /KICKS NATE
SAY SOMETHING scream

Nathanael: /sigh
Thanks to those of you who've taken the time to read/post in dragonfruit. We really appreciate it, and hope that this upcoming year you'll be able to support us again. /bow

Xen: = u =
Don't forget to eat a lot of yummies! And bring me some too when you drop by ;D

Olive: /elbows Xen

Xen: oww, what'd I do?
...but I really want to eat them too ; a;

DRAGONFRUIT CAST: THANKS EVERYONE AND HAVE A GOOD ENDING TO 2010! PARTY, EAT, SLEEP LOTS AND AWAKE TO THE NEW YEAR WITH A SMILE!

Nate: That was so corny paper...

PAPER: NO, IT WAS BEAUTIFUL /sobsob

Babydragons: /cute dragon noises

September 17: Thread is still partially under construction, but open to the public. I apologize for it's unattractiveness ; ;
AND THANK YOU Nerpin FOR REALLOCATING THE THREAD HERE =D
Please be sure to sign our guest book located here

September 26: I'll now be offering pixel thingies XD These may either be dolls (maybe I'll even use my tachibase xD) or random gifs (fairly small size), ie blinking blob xD. For samples check the first and second page of my old thread

September 28: Thread has it's own dragon-gaian!
["Mon. Sept 28, 2009: Chemicult"]hmmm....rawr......what to eat.....
dragon eats......dragonfruit? and small villages

I shall protect the thread. and if I see any villains. I just blow some dragon fire and burning_eyes go the bad peoples. mrgreen

September 30: Hey guys, I know I haven't been on much but I'll try to take requests every so often. I don't have gimp on me yet, so I might end up using sumopaint. Anyways, right now I'm in the mood for drawing an android, so if you have an android oc, please post down a request. Make sure you get the right form though!

October 2: As of yesterday, I can make bad buttons! XD OTL Feel free to ask for one if it's one of the simpler kinds like this.

October 4: We have baby dragon eggs! Well...two atm. >u< Also, as of yesterday I've developed two new doll bases, so I might end up using those as for what the individual thread characters offer.

December 29: I redid the layout so that the banners no longer say, "I'll make this prettier later...I hope".
Baby dragons hatched a while ago (like 2-3 months ago? XD) And there's random doodles and dolls all over the place...OTL
I'm willing to do headshots but they'll be semi-realism. To be considered, you must post at least 15x in this thread OR someone (excluding yourself) approves of your request. Hair is not my friend, keep that in mind when requesting. Oh, and there's no form for the request, just write it in 59B56D colour size 14 bold.

TWENTYTEN! 2010
January 2: I finally scanned my chibi version of the head ocs of this thread. Still no name for Guy#1 though XD

January 3: quote="Chansey with a chainsaw"It can be Tetris Bloc Thursday at DF. rofl <3/quote
And so it shall be done. Jan 7th be sure to get out your best Tetris gear cool

January 8: So, only Chansey and I showed up in our ultra cool gear. Way to go guys, way to go. /f3

April 26: Hey guys look at what yoshi drew for me! :'D
Isn't it precious? ; A ;
Anyways, as you can probably tell, I haven't been doodling lately. Not sure if I've lost my drive for it or something. Inspire me and who knows what I'll come up with!

May 5: I finished my first freebie in ages! I just couldn't figure out where to post it since the spot where I thought completed works would be seems to be rather crowded XD
I also started looking at more vector work and so my mindset is oriented towards that type of digital art rather than digital painting. If you'd rather have me switch over, let me know XD

May 15: Dude/dudettes, this is getting freaking ridiculous! Posting on Gaia is so unpredictable for me right now. At times it's at a normal pace, at others (majority of the time now) it makes me ages to load the screen. Same with imagehosting sites...idk why but tinypic doesn't want to work on me, and pb takes a while as does imageshack...not cool man, not cool. If you can't manage to catch me on Gaia, you can try pming me to see if we're on any other site together (Kinsaki, Menewsha, Ernya, KofK; I think I go by City Rain for all those...just let me know who you are on Gaia or w/e)
OH WAIT. I THINK THE PROBLEM'S SOLVED...FOR NOW

June 13: So problem not solved. I've probably had my laptop reformatted twice since the last update OTL I'd love to get a new laptop, but that costs money, and well...tuition is kinda pricey >.>; I've been wanting to get a tablet again, but probably won't since drawing is more like a pastime thing for me. My mouse still works, so it's all good >.<
One last thing: I'm now working, so I don't have as much spare time...like I actually get home late ; A ;

Aug 12: Finally redoing the layout. Not what I had planned in terms of visuals, but I guess it's decent =/

Aug 31: Redid layout once more. Possibly getting ready for thread anniversary too?

Sept 8: Guy#1 now has a first name! surprised (His name is Nathanael~)

Sept 18: Finished giving out the anniversary cupcakes. If I missed you, please let me know!

Dec 23: New simple layout because I'm too lazy to make an elaborate one :'D. say goodbye is what I call it cool

July 31, 2011: WOW, it's been this long since I've updated? Oh man, so today it appears that we've reached the "popular" thread status with hitting the big 100 thread votes. YAY THREAD! /hugsnkisses Now, just to make sure we don't get as many dislikes...oh boy o u o;;;;;;

Rules + Guidelines
*please note that this is a freebies thread and at times a request
thread as well. With this said, by no means are you allowed to
steal images, layout, original characters, etc.
*rules may be subject to change at any time.

► Show common courtesy for those residing in the thread_
► Hit-n-runs are fine, but don't expect anything...especially if you tell me to pm you a doodle

► No quoting the first page or any large images (if you happen to quote large images, remove the img tags).
► No posting in light colours, because it's a pain to read. I may even ignore you if you do so.
► Disable any large flobs over 250x250 / 250x300. I know you only want to display the
lovely artwork, but taking up so much space for only a bit of text? That's just rude. If, however, you can justify that space with written text <excluding post style text>, then it's fine.


Guidelines
*how to increase your chances of getting paper's doodles and whatnot
*please note that I have the right to reject you, but that doesn't mean you can't
try again, unless stated so.

► Conversation>>bumping
► Have an interesting avatar or original character
► Don't be so demanding with your order. It's my freebie, therefore I should decide what I want to do.
► Try to stick around instead of pulling a no show after your first post.

◄ I don't do couples or group shots.
◄ I prefer OCs not to be derived from some anime like pokemon, naruto, etc

Character dynamics/bg/plot/whatever you guys call them
Olive be going out with guy #1 but they're not an official couple; guy #1 doesn't feel the necessity of having to put a label on their relationship. Atm, guy #2 is being looked after Olive as a request from his grandfather. They're also attending the same college/university. Guy#1 isn't particularly comfortable with the established relationship between the two (or rather doesn't know the details of it). And now, they're stuck in this place kinda like a warehouse but not. xD
I DUNNO, I HAVENT FULLY SET A BACKGROUND PLOT THINGY FOR THEM YET. SHUDDUPIKNOWITSUCKS ; n;
