...late update...

I've been drawing with my tablet the last few days... and working on other things, such as another art trade, and a request for a dear friend (hiiiiii Stevie!!! ^___^).

...umm... I'm doing a group of art trades, four only - and one spot has already been taken, as I mentioned already (that's the art trade I'm doing :P)... hm... here's a list of new artwork I put up on my dA account;

Blue concept: Navi and Link
Cute lil' Link in my scraps, with Navi! Drawn in MS Paint, and they're both from The Legend of Zelda... obviously.

My Hero Link - Jan. 22nd, 2009
Fanart of Link, from The Legend of Zelda! :D ...again.

Ambere for DarthLexius
Finished my half of an art trade. :) ...took me a long time, but DarthLexius seemed to like it, at least. ^^

Snowy Evening
DragonBall: Juunanagou! :D ...in me old backyard... 'nuff said.

Afternoon walk in the forest
Soul Calibur: Raphael Sorel... whom I'm in love with. X_x

Amy et Papa
Soul Calibur: Amy, and Raphael Sorel - my most favourite artwork right now... spent 12+ nonstop hours on it. ^_^

Midnight Melody of Insanity
Soul Calibur: Raphael Sorel again... not quite as happy with this one, as the others... but ah well.

...and the draft lines for the artwork listed above, will be put up at my own art site... whenever I get around to making it... that reminds me; have to work on the CTM homepage again, as well as my Link site, and my Juunanagou site (thanks for updating recently, Steven ^^).

Oh, and I put up new original artwork at my art group's account, too;

Sha Agate - manga style
Sha Agate, from Magicus Quest... inspired by her Soul Calibur IV outfit. ^_^

Conversing Friends
Sha Agate, and Bartholomew Wood, from Magicus Quest... inspired by their outfits, that I made via a cute dollmaker online. :D

Night of the Ball
Sha Agate, and Steven Gayle, from Magicus Quest... drawn mostly for Steven. ;P

Heal my broken heart...
A symbolic artwork of Sha Agate, from Magicus Quest.

...umm... original drafts of original artwork, will also be put up at my art site... right now, I'm working on;

A request picture for Steven, who got my 1027th (Sam's birthday ^^) pageview; and an art trade, since I'm doing art trades (more info here at my dA journal Art Trades ~ Four (Three) Only - and on the forums here; Art Trades ~ Four Only) - and I think that's it...

...wait... I still have to draw the meadow for that writer... damn laziness. TnT

DarthLexius suggested doing another art trade sometime, so I personally hope she takes one of the openings, since that'd be fun to do another art trade. ^_^

...I am going to probably at least draw draft lines for the different things I have to work on; and I seriously want to get back to doing more SC artwork, too... but might have to put that to the side, while working on these other things.

Oh! I forgot... I'm still colouring Dragunov Christmas, and once I finish that, I can put up both Dragunov Christmas, and New Year's, online... despite it being late... or too early, Kitten. :)

Little, little progress...

...am starting to colour art trades/requests/gift-arts; but have very little motivation. I was colouring the hair of somebody's original character, for an art trade; but stopped, to do something online last night... internet's distracting, but I think it's most distracting, because it moves slowish, and has a phone call notice popping up every now, and then... argh...

I cannot wait for us to get a router, so that my laptop, Jonathan Chance, can go online. I did borrow the family computer last night, to download a scene from a movie onto my flash card, that my brothers, and I, are interested in watching... now, we regret watching that scene, because it is so cool; and practically spoils the movie... but oh well. :P

I also downloaded QuickTime (needed to watch the scene on my laptop), and AIM6... I should get Windows Live Messenger again, too...

...I finally got around to replying to messages I had on dA, it took me some time, because of lack of motivation the last few days... anyways, I requested somebody to draw Tony Raven, from Magicus Quest... and somebody else, 'accidentally', drew Renee, from Magicus Quest; because they thought she belonged to somebody that I am doing an art trade with, who they are also doing an art trade with... I still have to finish my half... I'm bad... I know... :(

...so, that'll be two more guest artworks to put up on our website. :P

Say Goodbye To Hollywood...

"...say goodbye my baby."

<3 Billy Joel. <3

...I still have to work on the art trade, and requests/gift-arts; seen below in the previous post (on my standard art journal page)...

...I don't have any excuse, other than that yesterday was very rough for me, and my brothers, to go through; and the disturbance has left a bad impression on us, even through today...

...so I just don't feel like working on anything - in fact, I didn't even want to write this journal entry; except that it'd be better to announce how progress is going, and so that my hands have something to do, for the moment...

Right now, I'm listening to our Billy Joel playlist here on my laptop, and listening to my brothers, Samuel, and Robert, talking about Kolchak, and Moonstone... Billy Joel is singing, "Pressure", right now - so ironic.

I love music so much, especially Billy Joel, when I'm in certain moods, like right now... his music makes me happy; but sad, at the same time...

...umm... I took pictures of myself, my family+pets, and the gifts my friend from Holland sent me, to show to her - I'm sure Yvvi will like them. :)

Sam is talking about ideas for the Kolchak story that he's going to send into Moonstone... I think he has two of them, but I don't want to interrupt the conversation.

"...but here you are with your faith,
and your Peter Pan advice,
You have no scars on your face,
and you cannot handle,
Pressure!!!"

...hum.

I have a headache...

...it hurts. :(

Umm... let's see... yesterday, I worked on the line artwork for my art trade... umm... and I also worked on two other ones - line artwork for a Juunanagou fanart I'm working on, and a quick MS Paint sketch of Steven's self-named character, Steven. ;P

...Sam's getting me medicine right now... with root beer...

Umm... okay, I can't really think straight right now... *stops to correct typo >_<*

...

Okayies... I really wish I wasn't in this weird conversation with my brothers about Gokuu, and Jesus... and how Jesus didn't go giant ape as a kid, nor does he go Super Jesus...

...they got into that talk because Gokuu was the only person they could think of, who would forgive Bryan Fury for everything he's done... and I said, 'That's because Gokuu's like Jesus...'

...I so adore sweet Gokuu. ^_^

...oh right!

Art trades, and other things...



Above is Ambere, for DarthLexius... as you can read on the image... and I'm sure I mentioned already? I'm not sure... darn headache... umm... I really had fun drawing the drafts, and line artwork for this... I just have to get around to colouring it... I hope DarthLexius will like it. ^_^



Aaaaannnddd.... Juunanagou! ^_^ I'm actually happy with this line artwork... Sam and Rob said it looked like a wanted poster... or was it just Rob? I forget... Juunanagou's supposed to be wearing his blue coat, like at the end of Z. ;)



Line artwork for Steven's character, Steven... I hope Steven likes it... here, Steven is sort of wearing a winter coat - I'm not all entirely sure if the winter coat was inspired by the Juunanagou image, or not; but whatever... winter coats look good. ;P

...I'll get around to colouring these tomorrow, and I still have to start on the meadow gift-art, as well...

In other news - the CTM website is coming along greatly, just need to contact Stevie, and Matt, about a few things...

...today, a family friend came over - it was rather awkward, since I've not been feeling good; and really didn't want to keep company. :(

...umm... it also snowed very lurvely today... <3

And we had fun exploring our old attic... except that there might be dead bodies in the ceiling. TwT

Halloa!

Well, I've decided to try another journal here; although, this one has an actual purpose, for recording different things... mostly art works, writings, ideas, and other things, relating to my group, Celestial Time Miracles Studios... among musings, when I need something to pass time with. ^_^

Right now, I have an art trade, and something of a request (more an offer/gift-art, to help somebody with writer's block, of a meadow - I love meadows, and nature, so I couldn't resist offering ^^), to start working on - the user on dA that I'm doing an art trade with, finished up their half rather quickly; which makes me happy, since I, and my brothers, as well as a friend of ours, haven't had too much luck with requests/art trades... I asked DarthLexius to do a drawing of Renee, whom is a character from our graphic novel series, Magicus Quest - which you may view here;

Renee, by DarthLexius

And I'm going to be drawing their character, Ambere... probably either dancing, or with a skateboard (since those are her hobbies ^^); or perhaps, both in one image, like drawing Ambere twice, similar to concept art; if I can manage it.

I should really get to working on it tonight; but I've been a tad lightheaded all day, and my mind keeps going blank... darn virus. :(

Of other artwork that I've finished up... some fanart, and original artwork... just a few, but I'm probably not going to be publishing them online, until after my family gets highspeed on Tuesday (my paranoia is telling that my artwork is going online, looking blurred, and as bad as dial-up is displaying to me, so I want to wait)...

My brothers, and I, created a new theme for our homepage, Celestial Time Miracles Studios - which looks good, and much more organized than the old one... but right now, we're at a little of a mind's block on how to re-write our sections... especially considering the lack of material that we need (we did have some things, but currently are unable to use them; due to their being in the melted computer... and that's going to take some time to retrieve them, because of money issues *growl*)...

...so I guess, right now, we'll be working on manuscripts, and drawing - too bad we lack a scanner at the moment, but I've been doing digital artwork, thanks to the tablet (which Samuel kept for me, to see if it still works - and it did! ^_^)

Samuel, and Robert, installed my art programs on my new laptop; named Jonathan Chance - after the character Tommy Shaw played in the Styx movie, "Caught in the Act (Kilroy was Here)"; since my old laptop was named Tommy, after said musician. ^.~

Adjusting to things in the new house is taking a toll on me... things are a little edgy around here, and I'm thankful that Sam, and Rob, are keeping me focused, despite things going on... umm... a good thing today - my friend's gifts that she sent from Holland, finally came in the mail. ^_^

I'm really glad, since Yvvi was worried I might not get them; due to mail getting delayed/lost... but I wonder why I didn't get the Christmas/New Year's Card... oh well, I guess it might be the post office's fault; or it could be held up, since the mail going to our old house is being held somewhere... I think, I'm not very good with these things... eh heh heh... ^^;

Anyways... I still have to send out my card, and gifts to Yvvi - Mom said it was her own fault, for being so busy; but I don't want Mom to feel bad... I mean, it's hard moving into a new house; plus my sleeping is hectic... heh... although, we're thinking of ordering something from the internet for Yvvi, which will be nice. ^_^

I wish I could do as many nice things for Yvvi, as she does for me; but things get in the way... and lately, I'm very unmotived - well, it's more similar to moodswings, I guess... one moment, I'll be creative... something happens, or comes up... and I'm depressed again. :(

Well, for one... I should get back to responding to emails again... I've been bad in that section, since I've been too tired to think - it's more the longer emails that are harder to answer all at once. Yvvi should understand that, of course though... Steven? I'm not so sure about... he's impatient, but sometimes I wonder if that's a put-on to just be... umm... annoying? :P

*sorry, Steven! XD*

Umm... heh heh heh... I'm drinking hot cocoa right now; but maybe it's just cocoa, since it's not that... hot?

Uhh... still have to finish up the Christmas Tekken fanart I'm doing, for an upcoming project, named, "The Dragunov Chronicles" (for now); to go along with my New Year's Tekken fanart... I just need to finish the Christmas one, in order to put them both up at once... too bad it's a little late for those special occasions, but aw well. ;P

Sam (CodeName: Kitten) tells me that it's, 'too early'; instead of, 'too late'... LOL! ^_^

EDIT: All the richtext formatting I did, was messed up somehow... oh well... so now it's very plain looking... hum... :(
