Commissions?

1 min read
Oh, I hope some of you still remember me! I know that I haven't been super...active (read: practically dead), but now that summer is here and I'm taking a break from school for at least the next year, I have more time to be working on my art. (Most of my new stuff is actually on this account: sugarberrybite.deviantart.com/)
However, I also need to start making some extra money, as I need to pay for transportation and hopefully some acting classes.

Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone would be interested in commissions? I can do chibi, sketch, head, full body, pairings, etc.

The pricing wouldn't be much, maybe $25 for a full body with some soft shading? I hope that's not too pricey.

In any case, I'd just like to know your opinions. :)

Thanks, doodles! Miss ya!

Yo, my peeps...

5 min read
Wow, it's been nearly a year since I've written one of these things....but, well, I have a few things I think I should say, so here goes....

First of all, 2009 was....different. My best friend went through some serious shit at the beginning of the year, and while it was a very hard time, it also opened up a lot of new things as well. I met my other best friend, and we all began hanging out together, which I feel was destined to happen. Seriously, I found another sister and I adore her. :heart: I made a lot of other friends as well WHO ROCK, BY THE WAY. They know who they are.
I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!

Also, as I'm sure many of you noticed, I haven't posted any new Zutara art for- what, a year? After the Avatar finale, I was just so hurt, I couldn't bare to draw it anymore. I had put so much of my emotions and feelings into that pairing that I couldn't take it. Seriously, what used to be 5 Zutara doodles a day turned into nothing at all in the span of a day. I don't think I've drawn any Zuatara art since the day of the finale, and I don't know when I'll be able to do it again. It's not like I don't care about it anymore- hell, I still browse the Zutara pics whenever I'm on this site- but....I don't know, I just don't think I can put as much feeling into the pairing as before. I think I might have cried some of my passion for it out after the finale. I was sobbing almost the entire night...I know it's just a couple in a cartoon, but to me it was so much more than that. Some of you understand that and some of don't. It's cool, just...don't mock me for it, please.
Really, I still haven't forgiven Mike and Bryan. In fact I'm still pissed as FUCK at them- not for making Kataang canon, but for building up so much hope for the Zutaraians ON PURPOSE and then crudely dissing the fandom again and again. So yeah, I'm still pretty fucking mad at them, but thankfully not to to the point where I would pull a Chris Crocker like I wanted to. :sweat: But I'm sorry to my fans and watchers, because I know many of you began watching me mainly because I pumped out Zutara art like a crazy bitch on crack.

My art is taking a bit of a new turn. I'm developing it more and more, and I'm focusing more on my original series, and getting better at manga making. Everyday Im constantly churning out new ideas for these stories, and am very hopeful about getting them publish someday. I'm sorry if I don't do much posting these days- my laptop is very good at distracting me from getting on the mac and actually working on my art. BUT in my...recent defense, the scanner hasn't been working for the past few months, so I haven't been able to can any of the work I've been doing. Luckily, we got it fixed today, so you'll be seeing actual art instead of just the pictures I've been taking of myself when I'm bored. XD I WILL however be posting actual pictures from photoshoots, so watch for those.

Also, I'm sorry if I haven't replied to your comments. This has always been a problem with me, but I'm trying to get into the habit of actually TALKING to people. XD So yeah....moo.


And jeebus, the fanfic I wrote a few years ago...you know, "Stars"? I still get very kind souls pleading for me to finish it, but...I'm sorry, that story has been dead for a while now. I reread it a few months ago, and hated it. The characters are all OOC, the story gets off pace far too often, it does fit in with the rest of the series, and, frankly, I just don't have much time to write it anymore. But thank you for all the nice reviews, they mean a lot to me. :)

Well, that's my ramble for now.

THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING SO GOOD TO MEEEEEE!!!!!!

Oh, and if any of you are going to Momocon this year, I'll be cosplaying Misty from Pokemon on Saturday, and either Sailor Jupiter or Mion from Higurahi the second day. Also, I'll be hanging with a Mana-sama and Kozi (and possibly a Squirtle), so make sure to say hi. ;)

LOVE YEW!!!!!!!! :heart: :heart: :heart:

ALRIGHTY!

So, this upcoming weekend is hosted by MOMOCON!
ZOMGIMSOEXCITEDHEEHEEHAHAHABWAHAHAOMFGIMSOEXCITEDYAYREPITITIONMOMOCONISGONNABESOFUCKINGAWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So. Yes...er...ANYWAY, MomoCon is the biggest FREE anime con in...the south? The states? I dunno, but it's big, it's awesome, it lasts all weekend, and it's FREE.....I know someone read that and went "lolperv", but try not to focus on that right now! ANYWHO, I shall be going on both Saturday and Sunday, as different characters each day.

DAY NUMBERO UNO: COUNT D FO SHIZZLE!

DAG NUMMER TWEE (where the bad Dutch came from I DON'T KNOW 0_o): A...a....GANGURO. HELLZ to YES, my peeps, I'm a white girl imitating a japanese girl imitating a white girl. FO' REALZIES.

I'm going to said con with :iconqueenofrabbits: and :iconxxuniquelyisabellaxx: because they are probably 2 of the 3 or 4 people I can officially geek out with....or at least the ones who understand what I'm talking about anyways. And my dear friend Zoe (numbah 3 on that list!) is going as well, but since I don't know her account nameeeeeee....

The Luverly Michelle will be going as ALICE from Petshop of Horrors, while Leanna is ALSO goin' as a ganguro. Ohohohohooooo!!!!!!

So as soon as I get the camera, trim my wig, and get fake claws, I'll start takin' some pics for ya'll.

Also, I feel I should say that  I'm sorry for making so many people wait for requests. It's just that school has been a bit busy lately, and there's been a grounding of sorts (only supposed to get 6 hours of computer hours a week, which is like, less than I usually spend in a DAY) so by the time I've caught up with everyone online, read new chapters on onemanga (Code: Breaker FTW!!!!! Pick it up NOW), ignored creepy friend requests on facebook, laughed at licd and explosm strips, and just BARELY start opening up photoshop, my parents bump me off the comp. REALLY sucks, but I'm working to pull my grades up so I can get my privileges back. So yeah, it's been pretty tough to get much art done. So thanks for being patient! :thanks:

Speaking of art, I'm finally getting the hang of manga studio (this is something that I'll read back over in about 7 months and go, "pshh, yeah, and Gackt never got plastic surgery") but it's so TIME CONSUMING!  I mean...whoa....
Oh, and let me help any of you who think its a good idea to buy anime studio. DON'T. Dear LORD, that program sucks. The tutorial is about as helpful as a donkey with a screwdriver. Not only is it overly complicated, but put into overly-simplified terms, it DOESN'T WORK. The regular anime studio 5 is about 30 bucks, right? Here's how the deal for it goes:

Hopeful and oblivious customer: "30 bucks? Well awesome, that's a great deal for an animating program! Now I can stop saving up that $700 for flash and spend it on something equally as useful and rewarding!"
Box: *arrives*
HAOC: Yay! :D Now I can finally animate with an actual program instead of using paint and windows movie maker!"
Anime Studio 5: *starts up*
HAOC: *is excited*
Anime Studio: "Serial umber plz"
HAOC: "OK!" :) "5628567026183074671"
Anime Studio: "WRONG!!!"
Hopeful, oblivious, and now slightly confused customer: "Um....562 856 702 618 307 4671?"
Anime Studio: "GET IT RIGHT, LOSER!!!"
HOANSCC: "But...:( Uh...ok? 562-856-702-618-307-4671?"
Anime Studio: "FINALLY!!!"
HOANSCC: ...........ok. Now to animate! :D
Anime Studio Tutorial: "IMA A TUTORIAL LOOK AT ME!!!"
Hopeful customer: OK! :D
Anime Studio Tutorial: "Instead of using anime characters, or anything remotely resembling a human, I'm going to contridict the name of this program and teach you how to animate creepy Foster's Home alien blob things that's anatomy will just confuse you more than the serial number ordeal!!!!"
Hopeful but confused customer: "Uh.....why?"
Anime Studio Tutorial: "SILENCE! READ ABOUT HOW TO ANIMATE THIS FROG CREATURE'S LEGS!!!!"
Confused, slightly annoyed but still hopeful customer: "........."
Anime Studio Tutorial: DO YOU GET IT?
CSABSHC: No....
Anime Studio Tutorial: THIS IS OBVIOUSLY TOO HARD FOR YOU (that's what she said ;D *slapped*) GO READ ABOUT HOW TO MAKE CLOUDS MOVE ACROSS A SKY!"
Confused, annoyed, and all too trusting customer: "Alright...."
Clouds: *move*
All too trusting customer: "It worked! I did it!!! :D"
Anime Studio Tutorial: "SURE TOOK YOU LONG ENOUGH!!!"
ATTC: :) But...I DID IT. I'm proud of myself.
Anime Studio Tutorial: "SHUTUP AND ANIMATE MORE YOU FAG!!!"
ATTC: D: That's mean, you shouldn't call people that! It's insulting to the people who really are-"
Anime Studio Tutorial: THOSE WHO DON'T ANIMATE HAVE NO BALLS!
Confused that they're having a conversation with a computer program, but still proud and trusting customer: But I'm a-
Anime Studio Tutorial: READ ABOUT HOW SIMPLE IT IS TO MAKE A BANANA PUDDING MONSTER LIP SYNC  WITH GEORGE BUSH AUDIO (no, I'm NOT kidding)!!!!!
Hopeful, Proud, Still Slightly Confused Customer: Read it! But I'll do lip syncing later since I have no audio files at the moment. :)
Anime Studio Tutorial: THEN ANIMATE THIS WORM!!!!
Hopeful, Proud Customer: Oh yay! Finally a stop-frame MOVING animation! :D
Anime Studio: "DRAW ON ME WITH SUCKY TOOLS THAT MAKE YOUR ART LOOK LIKE SHIT NO MATTER HOW PRECISE AND CAREFUL YOU ARE!!!"
Slightly Irritated But Trusting Customer: "Well, it may look bad now, but that's just because I've just started using this program."
Anime Studio and Tutorial: *exchange glances and snickers*
SIBTC: "Alright, I've drawn the worm! Now I just have to use the onion skin and draw the worm moving differently on separate layers and put them to the right timing! This is easy!"
Anime Studio Tutorial: "DON'T FORGET TO USE THAT ONION SKIN!"
Confused Customer: "Er....it's not here. Where's....where's the onion skin?"
Anime Studio: "HELL IF I KNOW!!!!"
Anime Studio Tutorial: "HERE LOOK AT THIS PICTURE OF THE PROGRAM SETUP!!!"
CC: .....ummmmm....*checks for onion skin EVERYWHERE* That picture sucks. The onion skin obiviously isn't where it's shown there. Oh well, I'll just do with out it."
Worm Inching Across Page: *is drawn*
Expectant Customer: Coolio! Now to hit the play button!
Play Button: *is hit*
Nothing Like A Worm Inching Across Page: *happens*
Confused Customer: *checks everything* "I did everything right...except for the onion skin....but surely they wouldn't give me a tutorial that doesn't work, right?"
Anime Studio 5 Tutorial: *rips away name tag to reveal itself as "Anime Studio 5.3 Tutorial"*
Confused And Shocked Customer: "GASP!!!"
Anime Studio 5.3 Tutorial: "FOOLED YOU!!!!"
Anime Studio: *crashes*
Shocked and Confused Customer: "Huh?!"
SACC: *googles Anime Studio 5*
Helpful Tip On Random Site That Would Have Been A Hell Of A Lot More Helpful If You Had Found It Earlier: "Oh yeah, Anime Studio 5 is missing essential parts used in the animating process, like the ONION SKIN. Without that, you can't animate anything worth a shit. So yeah, they give you the tutorial for Anime Studio 5.3 instead, hoping that you'll become frustrated and buy the better, MORE EXPENSIVE ONE THAT ACTUALLY WORKS. Pretty dick move on their part, don't you think? Well, there's my two cents. Hope I helped ya'll. ^ ^"
Utterly Confused And Angry Customer: "WUT."
Anime Studio: *smirks*
Flash: *is still $700*
UCAAC: T T






Yeah.......


I should really been working on my manga right now. I found a PERFECT opening for it, which I WOULD animate, but.....WELL. YOU KNOW.  
Zoe, please let me borrow Flaaaaaaaaaaash!!!!!!! D:>

Being such a bitch to people for the wrong reason at the wrong times, and being so jealous of some things.....there's more, obviously.

No, that's wrong. I might have done it once or twice now that I look back on it, but it wasn't intentional.

would/have you ever said "i love you" to someone and not mean it?
I once told some weirdo guy on Gaia that i loved him. No joke. And then I felt disgusted with myself, so you can tell how seriously I take the meaning. Whenever my friends insisted that they were in love with a certain guy, I usually doubt them.

do they want kids?
Maybe. I think they might someday. I dunno. I want my guy to be ok with having kids, so yes.

do you?
I think I want to adopt before having my own.

do their friends like you?
Yuppers!

do your friends like them?
Yup  

have you had sex? (with them)
Ha ha! No way (they would most likely freak out if they even knew I was answering this with them in mind. Like, "oh shit!"). XD

when did you start dating them?
Ummm, we're not, and I'm fine with that. Not too sure I really like them in such a way any ways. EDIT: Nope. XD
