Recently I've been doing some clean up in this gallery. I organized everything into its rightful category and ran through my storage. If I had done any pictures for you and you found that they had disappeared, they have now returned. Upon reaching university I threw a lot of stuff in storage (thank god for that option, btw!) because I was ashamed of all the fan stuff I had done, but I didn't want to lose everyone's comments (or conversations, as they were sometimes).
Now I have come to terms with my nerdy, nerdy past enough to return to the light the work I've done for others. I figured they were gifts for you guys, so you may as well have access to them!
It was fun going through storage and bringing things back, though. Man, my stuff was bad, lol! Trip down memory, out-of-proportion lane! But it's back none-the-less. Well, almost all of it. There's stuff that I can't let see the light of day due to my respect for humanity.

I have a new gallery. This one will more or less go into a state of dormancy (well, it already is, really.) I've got a lot (A LOT) of people watched from here, and some amazing pieces favourited that I use for inspiration, so I can't delete the poor bastard. It was unofficially a lurker account, now it is one officially. Consider this my own digital time capsule - so I can look back at my pre-college whenever I need a boost! And I won't lose all the connections I've built through this gallery. If I do any more gifts (there's at least 3 I have to do) or any actual commissions, I will probably post them here. Otherwise, don't expect anything new. If you'd like the id for my new one, message me. I'm trying to keep 'em seperate so that no potential employers stumble across my deformed character drawings from grade 10 XD.

A girl who goes by the name Glory from an online community I used to frequent has been in a car accident. It has left her in a condition known as being "locked -in"; where her mind is healthy, but besdies her eyes, she cannot move.

For more information, please visit this news article: news.deviantart.com/article/46…

To do my part, I'm offering commissions to make money for Glory to help her family out with her large hospital bills. I'm offering my services for approximately $10/hour. I'll work on a case-by-case basis, but for the most part, here's a guide to what the prices will be:

For one character
Sketch - $10
Inked - $20
Coloured Traditionally - $30
Coloured Digitally - $40

If you are interested, give me a shout and we'll discuss what you want. I'll tell you upfront how much it will cost, and I'll update you with progress on the picture until you're satisfied. I'm only sending out digital copies, but they'll be hi-res so they can be printed at any nearby print shop without distortion or loss of quality.

Hopefully this helps even a little.

If you would like to make direct donations, learn more about how Glory/Sara is doing, or read a blog on her recovery (yes, she's making progress and fighting her condition! it's amazing!) check out her website: www.sarascourage.org/
or email Donate@SarasCourage.org

The rules:
1. post these rules
2. each person tagged must post 8 random (hopefully interesting) facts about themselves
3. tags should write a blogpost (journal) of these facts
4. at the end of the post 8 more bloggers are tagged and named
5. go to their blog and leave a comment telling them they're tagged

1. I am halfway to legally blind. My prescription is really strong. I'm nearsighted. I always have glasses on, and it may be sad or not, but they are a physical piece of me. Personally I see them as extra baggage :P too bad contacts are not an option (they aren't covered by insurance).

2. I'm dying in my hometown. Socially, financially, creatively, ect. Must... move on...

3. I'm an intern, for the summer, at a place called Super Popular Studios. How weird is that.

4. I lied my pants off to get my paying job. And the people are really nice there. Yet come September I have no choice but to screw them over. I feel very guilty about this...

5. I'm more paranoid than you may think. Do YOU ever worry about choking to death when you're alone? Then plan out elaborate strategies to avoid it? (I'd dial 911 and throw myself over a chair like they said to do in first aid... but after that I'm not sure what else to do...) That's just one item on the gigantic, paranoid and unrational list that is my brain.

6. I did a lot of fan art and free art for others, for very nerdy reasons. I was more nerd than some of you understand. Than some of you will ever know. Others know the full extent. Some of you may think you know, and others will know you know ^_~

7. I've become such a lurker in my old age. I'm on DA all the time but I hardly comment and rarely post. I've hit up some old forums I used to haunt and I haven't posted a thing. I never understood lurking and thought it was weird, and now I'm out-of-control-can't-stop lurking.

8. I am single. Oh so horribly single. Lol, without any change to that being seen on the horizon XD Is that an interesting fact?

Now's the time I get to screw others over.

1. Vivi-Tara
2. devildevine
3. Stab-Tony
4. zeroandone
5. thebeesharps
6. megumimitsukaino
7. overalls
8. leeleetea

Is anyone  in as much denial as I am about it being 2007?
Frig.
That's like, 7 years after the year 2000.
WTF.

Well, it's sad to see 2006 die, t'was a pretty damn good year for myself. Here's hoping for the same level of awesomeness (if not more) in 2007.
Christmas break is coming to an end too... probably for the best, because I haven't done any real, solid (heh heh, solid...) work (as in drawing) since the break started. I mean, they told us to keep drawing, or we'll screw ourselves over, and so I have done a lil bit of sketching here and there... but without the deadlines, there's very little motivation.
At least I did the zombie challenge! ... but I couldn't submit it because I couldn't colour it - no photoshop at home. Le oops. I hope my teacher doesn't remember me promising to be part of it O.o;;
I think home in general is also a factor in my laziness. I find the combination of a tv, videogames, and the rest of my family bumming around a big influence on how much I bum around. Getting back to school will be good for me, let's just hope I haven't killed off all that I learned this semester (3 months of work destroyed in 3 weeks? Oh, how easy it is to do!)
What I have no regrets about, though, is wasting/spending well my valuable(coughnotreallycough) time playing 50 hours (and 13 minutes) of Twilight Princess. I beat it Monday; it's bloody brilliant. Bloody brilliant. It warms me heart to sign onto DA and see new TP fan art on the "Most Recent page" everytime. Tee hee, it's everywhere! It's like a virus! Which means I'm not the only one totally obsessed with this game!

<nerd lingo>
I've beaten the game and got all the side quests that I know of (heart pieces, golden bugs) except for 9 Poes. 9!! Goddamn Poes! where the hell are they?! (Don't tell me, I'm hoping for a no-help complete finish!) That, and the cave of Ordeals (I got to a level with an Iron Knuckle and two winged-dino's with swords n' sheilds with 2 hearts left... yeah, that didn't end well.) which is way more of a bitch to do than I had anticipated. Note to self, be more prepared... And I think there's some secrets in the fishing pond I have yet to discover (that ball rolling game, the sinking lure I'm sure makes an appearance as it's mentioned, and I can't seem to catch anything over 25 inches, which is being called "small" now that that's the record...). The magic armor is a letdown, IMHO, but maybe if I save up 1000 bucks, it'll actually be useful in that cave of bitchy ordeals...
</nerd lingo>

So, I'm off to wrap a secret santa gift, alter some t-shirts, hopefully draw, and help my brother with all his homework before I have to pack up and go to residence. Good day everyone!

Ow ow ow ow ow. This isn't fair. I am being kept from my ability to concentrate by mindless, stupid pointless pain. Not fair. I have a crapload to do. Let me work!!!

There is a surpsing amount of work to do by next week, and I'm not really sure how it'll happen. Hmmm....
but it always gets done. I'm just waiting to get started...

Casino Royale. Go. See it now. F'ing brilliant. I love the fact that they're finally messing with their tried and tested formula - it was time for a change. Bond has, like, emotions now. Woah. And you, like, feel sorry for him, and sympathize with him. When is that supposed to happen?!
And of course, much like the prestige, there is the icing on the cake of male hotness. Muwahaha.
See it now.

It's not fair - Twilight Princess is out, it's obviously awesome, and I can't touch it until Christmas. Even then it's no guarantee. After the hype of it coming out, I hae a second count down to playing it. Curses, I need to stop loving things.
