UPDATE:

Hi all. I'm still alive. Sorry I haven't been on in the last few days...It's because I was busy working on my commission for Masato Pearls. I turned it in around 3am last night, and they're going to review it and get back to me in the next couple days. *yay* So hopefully they like it, use it, and spread the word that I'm available for freelance illustration. After I know whether or not they're using it, I'll probably post it on my DA or in the thread. But because of doing this commission, look what I learned to draw!

Anyway, because I finally hooked up my tablet to my computer and had some time to draw, I ended up checking out a tutorial online and wanted to try it out. Of course, like always, what I thought would just be a quick sketch ended up getting almost completely fleshed out...If you're interested, the tutorial can be found here on youtube. He has some good tips and ideas, but he can sometimes be a little goofy.

The only problem I find with this tutorial, is that I ended up drawing a very simular face to his because of the grid. Granted, I've done a different expression as well as made it female, but they look like they could at least be siblings if not someone who's cross-dressing. lol. The other thing is that although this has some good tips for this particular angle, you'll run into some trouble if you try anything past the first step for any other angle. You can only apply it to other things if you understand how the features are fitting into each area and where to place the guides. Anyway, some of his other videos can be fun to watch, so if you feel like it/want to watch how to tutorials, there you go.

Also, to any writers out there. If you're interested in submitting a very short story (which you can leave open ended if you want), I'm looking for something I can possibly make a small comic out of. Otherwise, I might use some folklore or something like that so that I can try playing around with it. I've been reading Orange Marmalade recently, and it's reawakened my desire to try doing a comic. I really love the way it's laid out and flows, so if you have something that you think would work well in this format, feel free to submit something.

You can either post it here, or PM it to me, but please head it with SUBMISSION so that I know to pay attention to it. Also, I'm not looking for a romance like Orange Marmalade, so be original! I'm looking for something engaging, witty, and fun to draw. I have a relatively short attention span, so that's why I want it to be a short story to start off with. If it's a lot of fun and we both want to keep going, I'm open to that, but baby steps first... Also, if you feel like you weren't able to portray everything about your characters that you wanted within the story, you may describe them in further detail in a section AFTER the story. You can also submit in any form you'd like, so if you're a beginning artist, and have a story you've always wanted to flesh out, feel free to submit storyboards. I'd love to see them! ^_^

Anyway, sorry for the long update...I'll stop being lazy and get to work on some of the pieces I've said I'll do. >_< Hope you're all well!

[Neo The Merciless]

i am well tenshi and like both pieces ^_^
though im not a story writer i think that would be an interesting idea for anyone interested XD
glad ur doing well as well

[aku_tenshi-san]

Nigte: That's good that you got switched to full time! Full time = benefits and more money... ^_^ What kind of car you looking for?

Well, as I said in my humongous update, I've been working on this illustration commission for Masato Pearls, and just plugging away at life. ^_^ *I still have to submit my taxes...but at least I have someone doing them for me... ^_^ *

Neo: I'm glad you're doing well and that you like what I've drawn. ^_^ If you have any friends who you think would be interested, feel free to pass it along. lol. I'm not expecting too many hits on this simply because I'm unpopular...

And that sucks that thy only let you put up 10 items at a time! Oh well... And I'm guessing it's you or Sunny who just generously gave me a couple items...I'm not sure which... <_< But I thank you anyway. ^_^

Sunny: lol.
That's fine. I know where it's stemming from and can understand who you're talking to, so either way is fine. ^_^ I need to change my s/n anyway...and then that will really mess things up. lol.

Also, was it you or Neo who just gave me stuffs?...I'm not too sure, but either way, I thank you.

MERRY!!!! >_< *glomp* How are you?! It's been a while!

[Neo The Merciless]

not sure but if im talk to anyone ill let them know ^_^

eh better that i dont get to ahead of myself XD i gave u a couple im sure sunny did to and ur welcome ^_^
edit:any newer ones was sunny other then the goat XD

[MerrickMinoshi]

@Tenshi-san
-Huggles- It has been a while, I'm good aside from a little cold. What about yourself?

Oh, about that short story thing you mentioned, would you mind me giving you one my girlfriend wrote? I think she'd like to see it fleshed out in comic form. ^-^

[sailornorthstar]

I was the one who sent you that stuff

[Elbereth Star-kindler]

Holy heck. I don't think I have turned on my computer in near three weeks. So much work and birthday stuff going on. I'm sorry I've been ignoring all of you for so long, but it'll prolly still happen. I'm working almost every day every week for 8 or 9 hours at a time, and attempting to impress the managers to become a Team Leader. Which is a hell of a lot harder than I first thought, but things are going good with it so far, just... I have no time to socialize or anything. I'm really sorry. sad

[Neo The Merciless]

Elbereth Star-kindler

good to hear from u el hope all goes well

[aku_tenshi-san]

Wow...This thread really dies the moment I take my eyes off of it...Anyway, I've just been busy with this commission. I think I'm going to just go and spend all day in a cafe again on my next day off and work on some of your pieces...I really want to make some progress, and some of you have been waiting a ridiculous amount of time! *I have never-ending gratitude for how patient and kind you've been along the way! >_< *

By the way, when would be a good time to do a livestream? It's been a while since I've done one, and it could be fun to do at least a small session...If any of you have an opinion on the matter let me know, otherwise, I'll aim for about 8:00 on one of my days off...

Neo: lol. ^_^ Thanks.

Well, it's still sweet and awesome! And I still like the goat horns a lot! >_< You'll probably see me sporting them every now and again. ^_^

Merry: lol. Well, it's winter, so you should be cold. The fact that it's been so warm has been really weird. And I'm kinda worried about the rain for where I am. (No rain in winter means that there's a greater chance for fires in summer...)

That's fine! ^_^ I'd be happy to read it and see how I feel about making it into a comic. ^_^

Sunny: >_< THANKS! >_<

Elbereth Star-kindler

*GASP* HI! *hugs* I'm sorry to hear that you've been so busy, but I hope you've been able to do something fun every once in a while. I know how real life gets hectic, so no worries on not being around as much. ^_^ Good luck with impressing the higher ups. I'm glad to hear that you're doing well despite exhaustion and frustration. ^_^

[Neo The Merciless]

^_^ welcome

kk like the new horns the fact that one is broken awesome

[MerrickMinoshi]

@Tenshi-san
This is true. xD
8:00 sounds like a good time to start one, just be sure to let us know what day when you know. <3

Also~! Sorry about the incredibly long PM I just sent you. xD Hope you enjoy it.

[sailornorthstar]

I wish the rain would come I love the sound of rain falling and how it looks

[Oo Midnight Memories oO]
