First of all, I totally understand that money is tight for a lot of people - please don't feel bad that you can't help. Hell, were I not in the financial situation I were in, I'd love to commission you - because you're a wonderful artist, and I know it would help you out. What's your tumblr, so I can follow you? And don't be worried about being all talky. :3 Talky is nice. I talk a lot too.

Gosh that's so nice of you. ;u; Yeah I'll update my journal for you right now. I actually had promised myself not to update my journal so I could keep a check of my commissions better, but I'll do it cause that's the best way I can help now. And I know how hard it can be. ;v;
Oh! My tumblr? It's this: [link] I update this place more than my dA, hahaa.. OTL;; What about yours? : D

My tumblr is here: almighty-lsama.tumblr.com

I really appreciate you putting up my post on your journal and your tumblr. I could really use the signal boosting.

Good that you reminded me, I would have posted it earlier but I got things to do.

But no problem. No problem at all, I'll gladly help, really. ;u;

Thank you very much for the kind words - and it's nice to meet you too! I understand, all too well, about not having money right now. The financial situation - not to mention the job market - in this area is very, very bad. I live about 45 minutes from Washington D.C., so it's really expensive living here - and with it being summer time and the AC going a lot, the power bill and water bill and yadda yadda yadda is really sort of, "hey, let me kick you in the ass".

But again - thank you for the kind words. A signal boost, alone, is helpful. <3

you welcome
Yeah. I wonder how the jobs market has gotten like this, so "impossible". As I'm about the age of legal work here in Brazil, I keep looking for a job but I can't find a good one! So harsh :/
True. I wonder why the living coast is ho high near the D.C.s. Same here in Brazil.

Oh, you are welcome ^^

I have known ZT for over a year now. We met here on DA - I was very, very inspired by her amazing art, to the degree that I started writing stories for her art, and we started speaking off of DA.

I think a lot of people are inspired by her amazing talent, including myself. She's got God-like abilities when it comes to this kind of stuff, XD

Zombie is amazingly talented, but I think we became friends because I realized that she was more than just an artist. She's a wonderful person, fun to be around, and makes me laugh. Even if she were not a remarkable artist, I would still be her friend - because her friendship, to me, is more valuable than her art.

*nod nod* I hd a bit of trouble with her in the beginning, and I think that kinda set me up for my current predicament of a slight distance between us. How did you guys get that strong bond?

LSama In reply to TheMiserableMuse [2012-07-12 00:35:37 +0000 UTC]

Above all else? I respected her. I respected her privacy, I respected her distance, and I respected her as a person. I respected her as a creative, innovative person and I was very patient. I have learned that, a lot of times, people try to just shove themselves up the asses of popular, talented artists, in an attempt to get art out of them. I wanted to make sure that ZT understood that that was not what I wanted. I was amazed by her talent, yes, but more as a character developer. I am not an artist at all, so to me, I loved just talking characters with her, more than anything else. I also didn't THROW myself at her characters - handsome though they were. A lot of people just go on and on in the comments of her art about how 'hot' they are. I'm pretty sure ZT knows this. I didn't feel the need to just blabber on and on about how sexy they were. I wanted to know who they were, where they came from. Their appearance, while pleasant, was not all that they were to me. I think she sort of appreciated that.

Hm. No wonder I'm stuck. Methinks I've been going at this wrong. I mean, sure, I tell her that her characters are awesome and whatnot, I'd hope I don't gush over them like an obsessed fanboy, and at the same time, we don't really talk that much. (I'm a Yahoo person, and most of the people on my MSN list don't even get on anymore).

Forgive me for saying so, but by putting it that way - that is, "going at this wrong", it sounds really...forced. And I'm not saying that's your intention, but...you should want to be friends with people because you want to be friends with them. Not because they're a great artist or they have really hot characters but because they, as a person, an individual, seem interesting to you.

Hey, of course. I wasn't trying to say that I like her only for her art. Sure it was what drew my eye to her, but she's pretty cool on those times when we actually connect. I don't know much about her still, and some days I just feel really stuck, like I'm not going anywhere, no progression, y'know? What was it like for you and her in the beginning? Was it anything like what I'm describing? To be honest, I'm kinda feeling lost here.

LSama In reply to TheMiserableMuse [2012-07-12 17:44:29 +0000 UTC]

Again - and this is just my opinion from what I am reading, without tone or emphasis - you make this sound like it's a chore, a project.

I don't know much about her still, and some days I just feel really stuck, like I'm not going anywhere, no progression, y'know?

^^^^ This makes it sound like she's some experiment you're trying to perfect. So no, my experiences talking with ZT sound nothing like this, because I just *talked* to her. That's it. I asked her how she was, what she was up to. It went from there. I could also tell(from years of dealing with people) when she didn't want to talk - not to me, but to people in general. I knew when to back off. I knew when not to talk to her. And from there, I knew what *not* to ask her.

TheMiserableMuse In reply to LSama [2012-07-12 18:48:27 +0000 UTC]

Well, perhaps it sounds like that because the fact is, I'm (for the most part) antisocial. A hermit. I usually deal with only one person online, and that's my brother.(He is to me what you are to Desperish; the best damned thing that ever happened to me.) Other than that, I don't interact with anyone. And those I do interact with don't stick around very long. She's not an experiment, a chore, a project. I'm not sure how to explain it without feeling stupid for saying it after it's been said, and without feeling like I've struck a nerve with someone.

My advice to you? Relax. Chill out. Take your time and don't rush things. I've known ZT for a year now - and I think that my circumstances with her are exceptional and unique - just like any relationship! Don't expect your experiences with her to be like mine. We're all different, and how she reacts to you is not going to be like how she reacts to you. Just be yourself.

I fear I'm a bit.. eccentric for her tastes, that's why I usualy get shut down by others. I'm sorry I seemed rude about her, I swear I'm not trying to be, honest. She's an awesome artist, and an awesome person. I guess some days it just kind sucks being patient, y'know? XD But I'll definitely give it a go.

Now, on another topic, tell me a bit about yourself, so I can get to know you as well. lol
