I know, it has been quite a while since I last submitted something here on DA... but I'm working on a new pic right now, and I'm hoping to have it up on here within a week. I'm still trying to decide whether I want to color it traditionally with colored pencil, or on Photoshop... but I'll figure something out. So keep your eyes peeled for my new piece!

No offense, but ... People are getting too fake on me . They only want posts, comments, or to see how many friends they can get. So let's see who will actually repost this. This is a test to see who's paying attention. This is a test to see how many people in my friends list actually pay attention to me. Copy and repost in your own bulletin or journal. Lets see who the true friends are and I think I know who you are... Repost this if you are a friend...Don't reply... just copy and paste this in a new bulletin or journal as "Fake Friends".

For those who have me on their Watch list and are awaiting the colored version of my Zero Kiryu fanart, I'm doing the best I can to get it finished.... I'm going to have a busy weekend, so I can't guarantee I'll have it up by Monday, but I'll try. Chances are, I'll try to get it done tonight or tomorrow night. I only have one more detail to add to the picture, and then I'll be able to upload it here. :3 Just hang tight, everyone!

Hi DA! So, this is only my second entry. Wow. Anyway, I've been thinking about opening up commissions and art trades. The commissions will be free, of course, so you won't have to pay anything (that may change if I get a Print Shop subscription someday, but that won't be anytime soon). I do have a couple rules about commissions, though:

1. I'll only draw anime-style people, because I'm not good at drawing people that look real.

2. TRY keeping it simple. I'm new at this whole commission thing, and I can't draw really complicated stuff.

3. I do draw wolves and I try drawing other animals as well. I'm best at dogs and cats, however.

That's all. As for art trades, if you have your own OC characters and such, just show me a picture of what they look like and I'll do my best to draw them for you. In return, I'll show you a picture of one of my OCs and you can draw them. ^_^

I'm looking forward to commissions and art trades, and if all goes well, I may keep them open for longer than just the summer. I look forward to hearing from you! Drop me a note if you're interested!

Wow, I haven't even started my journal yet, and I've had this DA account for quite a while... o.o;; Anyway, yeah! Updates! I'm finally posting more artwork. xD I've been practicing with Photoshop Elements lately and I'll be submitting mostly digitally-edited/created art of mine. Also, I'm attending Anime Boston '08 this Saturday with my bff and my dad, so I'm pretty pumped. I get to meet Aaron Dismuke (Al from FMA) and Brad Swaile (Light from Death Note)! I can't wait! I'm also gonna be attending the Risembool Rangers panel, the Miniskirt Army panel, and the Gaia Online panel. I'm sure some of you will also be there, and I know I won't know who the hell all of you are, but I'm sure I'll see you guys at some point! xD Let's see, what else...?

I think that's pretty much it. For now. I'll try adding more journal entries sometime in the near future. =3
