Yooo sup? You have great dedication to your art. I see you put out so many sketches. I haven't drawn anything in like a month XD

Hey, don't feel too bad, these were accumulated over the course of like... I dunno... a really long time. I basically didn't draw for the entire summer. I mean I'd doodle, but it'd usually be nothing worth putting up. Anyway, I basically just moved all of these over from my tumblr account. I kind of randomly stopped using my deviantart account when I got my tumblr and realized that I hadn't told anyone on here, so I've been absent on here for like a year or something. Until today that is. The moral of this story is mostly that I'm really bad at maintaining an online presence. : \

Its okay, everyone has their own life to attend to. We can't expect people to be online all the time (well most people. I for one, am a lazy ass and i'm always on DA or facebook, I need to change that. speaking of that, I should be working out right now 0_0) But yeah i'm planning an interesting concept soon and I hope it works out. It would look better using digital art but I don't have a tablet soooooo pencil and paper it is.

Yeah, for me it was sort of like, I had this huge lapse in motivation and didn't create as much stuff for a while. On top of that, my inbox on DA was crazy full 'cuz I never deleted anything so I started avoiding DA due to anxiety. I just had too many unanswered messages and not enough art to post. The first thing I did when I got back on here was delete over 200 old unanswered messages. Meanwhile tumblr was more entertaining, and it took the pressure off 'cuz I could just reblog a bunch of junk in between posting art. So I just switched from DA to tumblr for a while. Really, I can usually only sustain one social media account at a time, which is why I've never gotten a facebook.
Anyway, I don't have a tablet either, but my solution to that has always been to combine my pencil art with photoshop coloring methods. Like, if you look at my pencil sketches, the reason I make all my lines so clean is because I anticipate taking most of the finished sketches directly into photoshop, and I need to be able to make clean selections of the areas I want colored. It's probably more of a pain in the ass than just learning how to use a tablet, but it's what I've gotten used to. ^_^;

Facebook just wastes your time, don't bother with it lol. It's just a huge shitstorm of things that usually don't matter XD
I might invest in a tablet soon if I get back into drawing. Gotta see if i'm willing to put in the hours to improve my work before I get one though.

I kind of figured as much... most people who have facebook accounts tell me that they literally only use it to get in touch with people. Basically it sounds just like glorified texting.
I feel like I could learn how to use a tablet if I put my mind to it, but so far nothing's driven me to do so. Like, my dad has a tablet but it's hooked up to his computer, which he always needs for his work. It's hard enough to get a solid block of time on there whenever I want to color something with photoshop. I feel like I'd need my own tablet that I could use on my own computer, but that would involve a lot of set up. Like, I don't even have any art programs on my laptop.

Oh okay, yeah I feel you. I don't have much either, nothing like paintSAI or photoshop. I have Gimp, which I mostly just use for photo editing and tweaking my renders that I make from my 3D modeling software.

I'm really tired, like whoa . This week has been so crazy! Plus the MS Paint Adventures website has been down lately 'cuz the building that houses the server flooded due to hurricane Sandy, so I've been drowning my anticipation in plot theory and it's making it even harder to focus on actual work . Anyway, how'd Oktoberfest go ?

Oktoberfest was awesome! XD I won the knowledge bowl that we had there, and my side of the 'armies' for the play totally knew the song better than the Prussian side xD
Unfortunately, I'm freaking out a little bit today, because I seem to have lost my usb disc yesterday, and I can't find it anywhere D: I'm hoping I'll find it soon.

Neat ! I've never been to an Oktoberfest thing before, but it sounds like a lot of fun .
I hate it when that happens ! Every time I lose my USB I get irrationally pissed off at everything and practically tear the house apart looking for it 'cuz I know it's in there somewhere... and then I'll find it a day or so later in someplace that's actually super obvious . I really hope you can find yours !!

It's lots of fun xD We should all throw one sometime xD
Yeah, I flipped out Thursday night when I realized it was gone. The problem is, I'm pretty sure I lost it at school, sometime between the end of last hour to the time it took me to go home D: I found the cap to it in my last hour's classroom on Friday, but I still can't find the thing itself. I'm hoping that I can find it, but if I don't, I'll at least try to recreate the files I lost.

Yeah, that sounds like a great idea ! If it ends up going anywhere near as well as the Halloween party went, it'll be awesome .
That sounds like my situation during senior year... I left my third hour class without my pencil case and realized that I didn't have it as soon as I got to my fourth hour class, which was right down the hall. I went back to the other room real quick during that same passing period, thinking that I could get back before the bell even rang, but the teacher and I couldn't find the thing anywhere and I spent that entire hour searching . Of course, the pencil case had my USB in it, and that had my web coding project for my fourth hour class on it... but I never ended up finding either the case or the USB . I even ended up not going to prom 'cuz I had spent that entire evening redoing the project and I was just too tired and frustrated to have a good time (though to be fair, I was never really all that psyched about prom to begin with ).
I mean my story is sort of an extreme worst case scenario thing, but yeah... I can sympathize ! What kinds of files did you have on it ? I found that I didn't lose much else besides the web coding project from mine 'cuz I had all my art stuff backed up onto other computers at home, so at least that was pretty lucky for me .

It would be awesome xD we can all have German Chocolate Cake XD
Aww, that sucks D: my problem isn't nearly that bad. All my usb had on it was a bunch of old school projects I forgot to delete, some pictures I was working on, and a few little stories I didn't have saved to my computer. Not really anything that'd be important to anyone besides me. Luckily, I have hard copies of some of the stories, and bits and pieces of the other ones are on my hard drive in the school's computer, so I can pretty easily recreate what I lost. I've already got a majority of one of them done. It freaked me out at first, but now that I know I can get most of the stuff recreated from memory & hard copies, I'm not so worried xD Mostly I just needed it for my final Creative Writing project, and that's not even due for seven weeks xD

You have no idea how good German Chocolate Cake sounds right now... seriously, my sweet tooth is kicking in and there's nothing desert-worthy in this house !
Don't worry, that happened to me a couple of years ago by now, so it's basically a non-issue anymore . I think it kind of allows me to super sympathize with the plight of those who have lost a USB. I will say, you seem to have your stuff together more than I did at the time of my own incident... the one thing that I didn't have backed up was the most essential thing of all . As of right now I'm pretty sure there's some stuff on my current USB that isn't backed up and probably should be, but that thing never leaves this house as a rule anymore, so there's less danger of losing it . Besides, all my good line art and (relatively) finished coloring projects get put up here. This account is kind of like a whole other way of backing stuff up .
Now I really want animal crackers . Weird.

D8 nothing desert-worthy? Here, let me do you a favor: go to Schnucks and buy a Ritter Sport bar. It's a giant chunk of German chocolate, and they have all kinds of stuff in 'em. There's marzipan-filled, cornflake ones, hazelnut ones, everything!
XD I keep my usb here now, it doesn't leave the desk unless it needs to. But now I store all my stuff on Dropbox, so it's cool xD
Animal Crackers are nummy :3

You're very welcome, they're coming along great !
I had been waiting for that flash update for a while 'cuz I was relying on the talk sprites to do these ==> [link] and I was missing Rufioh, Horuss, and Damara... it was driving me crazier than it probably should've . I immediately loved Rufioh as soon as he started talking ! I can especially relate to him when it comes to people with shared interests... or rather a lack thereof . It's not even that nobody shares my interests, it's that nobody is quite as obsessive as I can be sometimes. Still, Horuss is a close second (I have to draw him sometime) and I love Mituna, and Porrim is infinitely cool, and I've been enjoying seeing things from Meenah's perspective... every single one of the alpha trolls are amazing characters in their own ways and I can't wait to see more of them doing stuff !

Pretty much all of my offline friends just sort of forgot my birthday entirely... which is okay for all of us, we know it's not 'cuz no one cares, and I was in Chicago at a convention at the time anyway, so that was fun enough as it was . Still, that just makes this extra amazing... so here, I made this as a thank you! ==> [link]
