Sorry this took so long, stuff piled up, work, and some internal unpleasant feelings in my side took up time.

Sakuracon 2013 was fun but felt sorta swift. I did meet two peeps from online (they know who they are, lemme know if you'd like to be posted her), met for the first time and gave her these ancient Copic markers I forgot to give her years ago, met up with a lot of friends from university including , hung out with my buddy Spencer ( ), met and ordered a comm from him, and met and got to chat with him a bit.

Notable things I bought:
- Jojo OST CD
- Vol 1 of Living With Monstergirl
- Mahoromatic complete series
- Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere Blu-ray
- Okami-san and Seven Companions set
- Commission from
- A tasty banana flavored popsicle

I also met and took a pic with LittleKuriboh, but all of my photos are a bit too blurry to post.

Lavender-ice convinced me to consider trying to do a table next year, but I'd need to settle on scheduling, possible whole-weekend thing, prints, etc...

I got back from Sakuracon last night. I'll make a proper entry later, but just wanted to say I snagged the all new Jojo Battle Tendency OST CD.

AND IT'S AMAAAAAAAAAZZZZZZZZZIIIIIINNNNG

Going to be going to Sakuracon this Saturday. I'm going to be wearing my Captain America sweater and wearing a brown Metal Gear carrier bag if you want to try and spot me.




Most of the time I'll probably hang around Artist Alley, but I'm going to try and make Twitter posts to say where I'm currently at.

I know of at least two dA friends that will be there, so maybe we could all hang out.

Sorry it took me a couple of days, had work but also wanted to give some people time since they said they would be a bit late with pics.

I have a lot of messages to sift through, mostly birthday well-wishing comments, so some people who sent me gifts got lost in the flood. I've listed all the pics I've found below, but if you made something for me and don't see it here, please send me a Note!

On dA:

- eu03: [link]
- cailencrow: [link]
- chelostracks: [link]
- enterpraiz: [link]
- hk100: [link]

Some of you also said that you would be a bit late, but that's okay, don't worry about it! If you finish a pic, please let me know so I can add it.

I'm going to be going through each one individually later to personally comment and thank each person, but for now thank you everyone, from those who gave gifts to those who dropped by and wished me a happy birthday. : D






Lastly, I may be announcing an art contest in a few days, so keep an eye out for that!

Currently typing on my PS3 since turning laptop on later today after doing b-day stuff. I want to properly type out comments and replies to the birthday gifts and wishes, so I'm holding off until I get on my computer. Just know that I see them and I really appreciate them! : D

For now, check out the gift Atlus and Vanillaware got me: a new Dragon's Crown video above, and a site update! [link]

I assume that the journal update method for the last time I streamed didn't work?

Anyway, livestreaming now. Link can be found on the left side of my front page.

3/17: Online, dorking around. Not sure if the journal edit method works again.

---

Going to try giving the journal method a shot again.

Anyway, currently livestreaming over at the site: [link]

For future reference, the site can also be found on my front page on the left side.

Some sort of Dragon's Crown announcement seems like.



And RIGHT on my birthday even. How thoughtful of them.

I feel weird doing this, but better to be safe than sorry since I've had people tell me before, "Whoa, it was your birthday? When was that? I didn't know!".

Sooooo yep, my birthday's coming up here in a little less than two weeks; it's on the 21st.




On a related note, I'm going to treat myself and get a game when that happens. Any good ones for PS3 out there? All I can think of is that Bioshock is coming out around that time.

Gotta get to work here soon, but just wanted to quickly note that March has come again.

Dun dun dun.

NEW ART

NEW ANIMATIONS

MORE STUFF

TARDING OUT HERE

- Curiosity makes people do things when they don't have to, even when it's something incredibly out of their way or tedious.
- Upon doing something incredibly out of their way, people expect to be rewarded.
- Failure to provide deemed worthy reward creates anger.

I know people out there won't believe me, but I was bored and did that link as an afterthought to add something to an otherwise simple, average doodle. Seeing how people reacted was interesting to learn about how some people think, their reasonings, and what they expect out of things presented to them. I hate to say "entitled", so I won't. Instead, I'll say that people have interesting views on what they believe should be given when it comes to trivial, optional pursuits.

I think this kind of thinking (and these results) are very understandable in mediums such as buying games or paying to see a movie, but they're very odd in other situations.

Oh wow, finally Valve made some TF2 action figures that are AFFORDABLE.




Now the only problem is that I'm worried they'll instantly sell out.

Commission slot taken by . I'll be working on your commission this week!

After I finish, there will be future slots available, so keep an eye out!

I may be opening a commission slot here in a little bit, just to test the waters.

[link]

I'm probably going to offer up to only the $25 option, so a Base Colors slot at most.

Send me a Note if you were interested? Also, I will probably livestream it, so that's something to keep in mind too.

A few weeks ago, someone popped in the stream and dropped off a Heavy-tan fanart. I was busy at the time and didn't get to properly thank them; waited to see if I'd see them again, but no sign. So wanted to throw a thank you to that artist, hopefully they'll see this?

I also want to thank everyone and anyone else I've forgotten to properly reply to: precious little free time mixed with an evershifting message box makes it hard to keep track of things. orz

I'm torn on which I should do next: open art trades, or open commissions?

- Color more
- Get better at coloring
- Get more efficient at coloring
- Try more styles
- Buy and play Dragon's Crown
- Talk to people more
- Draw more in general
- Make character ref sheets
- Do another BE contest
- Open commissions





_{- ... Maybe start Ego Trigger.}

I'm going to stop the December Dicerolls for now so I can focus on drawing some Christmas pics for friends. I might finish before Christmas, not sure, but if I do I'll let you guys know.

Also wanted apologize for last night's stream. I hate explaining since I feel like I'm just making excuses, but I was really tired from having my earliest work shift, so I ended up feeling really picky about roll requests. I don't want anyone to feel like their idea wasn't good enough or anything, but if I force a request drawing when I'm not really feeling it, I end up really dissatisfied with the result, getting really critical about errors and feeling like nothing's going right so I should just stop drawing at the moment.

I probably shouldn't have streamed if I was feeling this way, but I wanted to try and get one last stream out if I was going to be saying, "Can't do any more for a while."



To be honest, I'm unsure if I should even continue doing these. I wanted to try and give people drawings since I normally don't do non-friend requests, but some requests don't really work out, and I've had people actually hate me for it.

Fuck it. I'm excited.
