Livestream


For those who don't what livestream is, it's essentially watching a video or something live, in this case, I am cging or using copic markers, which ever I feel like at the time. :3
I will be editing this journal entry from now on whenever I'm doing a livestream :3



Livestream is now: Off

~*~** LIVESTREAM LINK: [link] **~*~

Rules


**NEW**It has come to my attention that my livestream is ever-growing, there are always a lot of people who show up to watch me and chat, so I have decided to finally lay down some strict rules. If you do not abide by these rules please remember that I do have the power to ban you.

1. First and foremost, read the FAQ (below this section) before asking questions or trying to get my attention, and do not do annoying things to get my attention (such as typing 'OCEAN!!!!!!!!!!!!'), it's unneseccary and annoying.

2. Don't give me links to videos, or music, or something you want me to see(including asking me to critique your work). I am busy drawing and I just do not have time. I am the kind of person that if I am able to look at one link I would have to look at everyone's, and it that case I just wouldn't have time to draw.

3. Please also don't ask me to change my music. You -can- ask me what song is playing, though I may not always be able to answer.

4. Please refrain from asking everyone's Deviantart when there are 80+ people in the chat. The chat becomes overloaded with links. @_@; (This isn't a necessary rule, but it'd be nice.)

5. Do not spam links of any kind. Once is fine if you want to show off something but don't keep posting it if no one pays attention (sorry). That being said don't spam in general.

6. Do not constantly bash other fandoms, no matter what it is (Naruto, MLP, Bleach...). If you don't like the conversation, then stay out of it. There's no need for hate.

7. Do not harass other users or be creepy.

8. And finally, plain and simple, just don't be annoying. Be respectful, be nice, and be considerate to both me and other users. There's no reason to hate or be a negative influence.

9. Other than these things, just have fun. \o/ I really try my best to pay attention to everyone, but when I'm there to focus on drawing it gets a little difficult when there's 20+ people talking at me, so please be considerate!<3



FAQ



Q. How long have you been drawing?
A. About 7 years.

Q. Please make a vid/tutorial/store product/request/etc for me?
A. I don't have time for requests, but I do take commissions (meaning for money payment). You can check rates here: [link]
Note me if you're interested. :3

Q. Can we be friends? Can I have your MSN/skype?
A. Please don't ask this kind of thing upfront. :( If you want to get to know me you can come to my livestream, I enjoy talking to people there. :3

Q. Can you check out my drawings and give me some tips?
A. As much as I'd like to (and I really did try doing it for awhile) I just cannot keep up with everyone. I'm sorry. :( Just practice. That's really honestly all it takes, you can't learn it over night.

Q. What copic set do you have?
A. 72B, 72D, and many extras.

Q: What kind of paper do you use?
A. I use Bee Brand marker paper, which is meant for alcoholic-based markers such as Copics: [link]
I also use Imagination Internal sketchbooks, and Haein art centre paper.

Q. What pens do you use for lining? What sizes?
A. Copic multiliners. Any other pens I've tried with copics make the lines bleed. The sizes I most often use are 0.03, 0.05, 0.1, and 0.2 for eyes. :3

Q. What programs do you use for your digital colouring?
A. OpenCanvas4.5e Plus, Paint Tool SAI, and Photoshop CS2.

Q. Do you have to buy these programs? Where do you get them from?
A. Torrent dat shit, Piratebay.

Q. What tablet do you use? How much was it?
A. I use Wacom intuos 3, 6 1/2 x 11, and I forget how much it was.

Q. How do you do lineart/colouring/blending in SAI?
A. Lineart in SAI - Pen tool, and ink pen tool sometimes, with a higher than 3 stabilizer
Colouring in SAI - Pen tool for filling, water colour/marker brush from blending

Q. How do you livestream?
A. Go to the livestream site and download the procaster, it's pretty simple.

Toracon 2012 Re-cap

Sun Apr 22, 2012, 9:02 PM





Tora-con 2012

Hellloooo~~ I'm still at :iconmagicalsakura:'s right now, but we had a lot of fun this weekend!! Thank you to every one who stopped by!!
It was only a two day con so not really super eventful. I'm not sure where to start since... not much even happened.... xD
I'm so scared of the US though. I always have difficulties traveling through the border because of what happened before (if you don't know, then you do not need to). The US just scares me a lot! Apparently you can buy guns at Wal-mart? Re...really? ;;;;;; (I saw them there.)
I like Canada a lot better. ;;;
The AA in Tora-con was crowded as FUQ. They always seem to mess it up some how. Last year it was in three seperate rooms completely, this year there was no walking space at all, and the dealers room was really spacious. What the hell. Oh well, they're still only a 2,000 people con I guess.
I didn't buy too much. I need all of my money for printing at AN/AX, and food, rent, etc... crai.
I DID get one thing though on Sunday, when the dealer's room was closing, this cute Hello Kitty plushie:

Funny story, I was deciding whether or not I should buy it, and the dealer said "It was first $30, then it was $25, but I'll give it to you for $20 because it's the last hour and I'm trying to sell out stuff" and Sakura helped persuade me to get it...... AND THEN WHEN I BOUGHT IT THE DEALER GAVE HER A FREE KEYCHAIN (the bunny) BECAUSE SHE HELPED THE DEALER'S SALE. O`AO I'M NOT YOUR PAWN!! O`AO ROFL

Didn't see too many people.... um, Tempestpaige on Tumblr, ~yanimator / ~nayuki-chan (BECAUSE THEY'RE EVERYWHERE?) uuhh....... yeah tbh, about 85% of the AA was crafters. :/ No artists! But I'm reeeeeeeally looking forward to Anime North!! ;u; And Anime Expo.. sorta...... /scared.
Here's some pictures Sakura took and edited, I'm the one with the pink puffs ofc. xD;;;;





LOVELY LOLITA!! *7*



Oh yea, so my birthday's coming up in 2 days................................ e_e..........BUTTHAT'SOKAYCAUSEI'LLSTILLBETWELVELOL
Thank you so much already for the early bday gifts!! I love them! I will do a feature on the 25th ;//7//;

Thank you for reading!! :heart:

New Deviantart Account!!

Sat Apr 7, 2012, 12:17 PM





New Account for Commissions

No, I'm not moving completely, lol.


I'm making a new DA account for all of my commission work.

HERE:
:iconoceancommissions: :iconoceancommissions: :iconoceancommissions: :iconoceancommissions:
:iconoceancommissions: :iconoceancommissions: :iconoceancommissions: :iconoceancommissions:

Reason is because.... wwwwwweeeeeeeeeeelll, I don't really want to start shit here, but I'm getting a lot of repetitive comments on them that are just annoying, mostly the ones that say "you draw the same thing over and over", "a girl in a static pose" "no background" etc.
People who comment stuff like that have to remember what their commenting on. Commissions. Static pose, simple background, something that is meant to show off the character design. That's all the commissioner paid for; they didn't pay for some crazy-ass perspective; some intricate background.
And I'm not going to put commissions on this account and then disable comments. I actually tried doing that once before and then the commissioners got annoyed, because they wanted to see the comments that were going to be made on their character. :P So I can't win. I'm just going to make a separate account for commissions. ^3^

Watch if you want! Thanks always for supporting me and my work.


Titanic
In other newwwwwwwwsssssss... (I don't really talk about personal stuff on my journal anymore, do I?! Most of it goes on my Tumblr now) I saw Titanic in 3D yesterday. I .....I fucking love the Titanic. I love that movie, Idgaf what anyone says. It's good.
I....CRIED.........SOOOOO MUUUUCH LOOOOL. I went to go see it with my brolita friend ~KramMarkio, so I tried really hard not to just start bawling. I was trying REALLY HARD!! God, so sad. TTATT SO MANY FEELS. SO MANY FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELS

Print Sale + Colouring book sales OPEN

Hi everyoneeee \o/ :heart:
Con season is coming up, so that means I need to get rid of a lot of my stock so I can make room for new stock!! @v@ I have bad luck, it seems I print too much of pictures that DON'T sell, and don't get enough prints of pictures that DO sell... lol sigh.
In any case, I have revamped my print shop a little bit, and I'm having a sale going on where you buy one print get one print free (free prints must have a * next to them and be of same size as your first).

I have also opened up official orders for the colouring book (it is at the bottom of the shop under"books")!! There are only a few left after all of the preorders have been sold, so get them while supplies last-!! Also, I posted a little video of it on Youtube!  

I am pretty poor, and I really do need some money to help me going to more and more cons. So if you would help me out that would be just fantastic :heart:
And thanks for every taking a look around! <3 \o/



Commissions will also be re-opening very soon!
Those who already have commissions with me (FROM LIKE, 6 MONTHS AGO CRY I'm so sorry), I will be finished within the month.

Florida Trip Pics! [Image heavy]

Fri Mar 9, 2012, 1:33 PM





Florida Pics!

So as you guys might know I was in Florida for a little while, 11 days to be exact I think! \o/ My parents just retired, so they're going to start going there every year. Maybe next year if there's a con during that time, maybe I can squeeze that in too, who knows.
Speaking of cons, I *WILL* be at Anime Expo this year in LA!! So exciting!! I've never been ;v; I'm tabling with =MagicalSakura. I look forward to seeing everyone!!

More about Florida~~ I took a TON of pics but honestly I just have too many to upload lol. So I'm just uploading a portion(below). Tbh for the most part we just chilled, it wasn't a 24/7 party. First week was mostly enjoying the weather and getting used to the place we were staying in. My parents lived about a 10 minute drive from the beach with oyster shacks and tons of places to eat and drink (one night we practically went beach bar hopping).
I have been to Punta Cana before, so I guess when I went to Florida I was expecting similar weather. Nooope TTuTT>;; It was so chilly at night! Wth was that! Still, the weather is a lot better than Canada~
Picture time~! I'm better at recalling my trip with them, anyway, heh~

This was just a tree in our backyard. I guess these trees are everywhere around here. They're so exotic looking to me so I got excited when I saw them, lol. I kept saying to Ichi how much I just wanted to wiggle up one and get a coconut or w/e LOL.

This was the place we were staying! It was a small little place. Nothing fancy. Speaking of which, the homes there are so amazing! We lived in old country, where all the retired folk go to hang out, so the houses looked so...vintage and refreshing. There was someone nearby who had the ugliest seafoam green driveway with seahorses and dolphins decorating their front yard. From far away I thought they had a pool in their front yard. xD; Ugly, but like... so...cool...

Just some pictures of me. I am so used to dressing like this now that I don't even notice people staring at me anymore. We went out to Wal-mart and I actually got a lot of compliments (and then there were these two douches too.. hrrmrmmm~~), and the people there were super nice! Speaking of Wal-mart, there are some things in the US that you can't get in Canada. For instance, certain sodas (though we call in pop in Canada?) like: Vanilla Coke, MtnDew Code red, and the Mtn dew blue stuff.  It's also vice versa. The US doesn't have dillpickle chips. Dafuq is up with that. I was like, "let's get snacks! I want dill pickle chips!" - NOPE. None here. They didn't even have dill pickle dip. I swear to you, it's gooood!!! QQ
The last image is a hard carved cup I got at a bar btw. There's a monkey face on it, lol.

Oysters!! I am a seafood lover. My mom is from NewfoundLand so I was practically raised on it. It's in my blood. *m* I have tried clam, lopster, crab, salmon, muscles, shrimp, etc etc... and all I like. But these were raw oysters. Not really.... my thing... at all..... they were good with cheese and salsa though~! (Everythingisgoodwithcheeseandsalsathough.)

Sorry, I'll just say it now, this is a dead baby turtle. Tbh I was looking so forward to going and exploring in the back yard (when I was a kid I did that a lot, catching frogs and salamanders... I could seriously do it all day) and I wanted to do it here until my mom told me about the crazy ass poisonous snakes and shit. So I couldn't, boo. But Ichi and I were taking a walk and we saw this on the road. I tried to do a seance to revive the lifeless turtley corpse but it was too late. (..Actually I just flipped it over and it was dead from being baked in the sun or w/e crai)

Oh yeaaah~! We also went to a dinner/show! We went to go see Hairspray (pretty sure Ichi and I were the youngest people there). It was so....CAMPYYYYY.......... but it was still good. I know musicals are good but I get embarrassed liking them for some reason. Anyway, I drew this picture^ (it was the main character) and left it on the table lol. Wonder if someone ever kept it haha~

On the weekend we went to Disney World. I got a first visit pin, so cuuuuuuuute QvQ We went to Hollywood Studios first, then Epicot, then Magic Kingdom. We went on a ton ton ton of rides ---.... well... sort of? >v>" Ichi and I had never been to an amusement park together before. So, I didn't know he was scared shitless of them. I think he might even have a phobia? We were in line for Splash Mountain, and he was having like a panic attack :| So I had to go on it by myself (along with the majority of the rides I went on there)... so we were fighting for a portion of the day but I guess I got over it with the excitement of the rides. *v*; SPEAKING OF WHICH, Splash Mountain, wth? It was kind of creepy to me. Like, the "story". Or whatever it was. Was weird. Oh, please forgive me for my face in these pics. And all the time.

HAT. SO.. BIG. I swear. Disney World is it's own city. It practically is. And it was so overwhelming and amazing, every last bit of it. Ichi really likes the Muppets, so we went to the Muppet theatre, and we went on the Star Wars 3D ride thing. So damn cool. Everything was so damn cool ;_;

Honey I Shrunk the Kids!! I loved this place! I remember when I came here when I was 6, that ant was SO GODDAMN BIG TO ME... was very cool. It was like a giant playground. And yes I went through the tunnels and got in the way of children/their parents SIIIGH.

A giant fucking speak and spell. This was near around the Toy Story/Pixar area. I wish I could've checked more around this place, we only had one day to spend at Disney. :< And, Tower of Terror!! I remember I had went on this as a kid, (twice) and I acted like I was the shit LOL. This was the first ride Ichi and I went on together. After that I think he was all rided out. DAMN IT WAS COOL THOUGH. I fucking love rides. I wanted to go on again but of course Ichi pussied out so. :| Last pic is of me.. and.. a hat I got haha. It's so cute. And I mean, I went to Disney World. I had to get a hat lol.

After that we went to Epicot. Is it Epicot, or Epcot? Idk. Anyway yeaaah. If you don't know what Epicot is, it's basically a park that showcases all the countries, and it's HUUUGE... like, old English buildings, shrines, everything. Really cool. First was most of the European countries (me stuck in a phone booth). The picture on the right was this little Coke building, and it had all these taste test stations to taste different sodas from around the world. Israel man, they know what they're doing with their soda.

Next was France, so we stopped at the bakery (all of the workers there had French accents and everything too, I wonder if they get them to play the part or if they're actually French?). Best quiche I've ever had. ;U;

As we were eating there was a street show going on~ there was this insane dude... and he put floor wine bottles down, put a chair on top, and would keep adding chairs. He got up to 4 chairs. And then he did fucking flips and shit on them. It was cool ;v;

Next was Saudi Arabia I think. Ichi and I are both pretty shy so we were always too shy to get someone to take our pictures, but luckily there was a nice couple who offered to take ours. So this is one of the only pics we have together. T~T

Next was Japaaaaaaaan~~ believe it or not I did not buy anything from the massive Japanese store there. Everything was soooo freakin' overpriced. @v@ They had some really nice prints and stuff though!

By the time we finished Japan, Ichi and I were getting really tired, so we sort of just sped through the rest of the countries. xD This is China.

Norway!! I tried to take some cute viking pictures...... nope.

After that was Magic Kingdom. It was so goddamn magical. Now let me just tell you something. :| For quite awhile I have been dreaming to go to Disney World.

So when we turned the corner and saw the castle, a show started playing there, and I STARTED CRYING... for real... aaahhhhh /trying not to cry now/ As corporate and brutal and scary as Disney is, DW is really the most happiest place on earth!!

By the end of the day, when we left, we were both crying. It was really really sad actually. I miss it so much. I want to live there.
SPACE MOUNTAIN BY THE WAY HOLYSHIIIIIIIIIIIIT I went on it twice, I could've went on it ten more times. Scariest, best ride I've ever been on! I fucking love roller coasters.

The next day, me, Ichi, and my parents went to Universal, but I don't feel like uploading all those pics too (lol). Mom and Ichi are the pussies in our group I guess, so because of the lack of rides the day before, I forced my dad to go on EVERYTHING WITH ME.. LOL.. every time we'd go on something he'd by like "Allison, you're killing me" "Allison, no more after this one" bahahaha. We went on this ride:

Called "The Hulk" at Universal. Was so damn cool. I want to go on all the rides! I love rides! I LOVE THEM! *_*
I actually really, really enjoyed Jurassic Park River Adventure too. I like rides with visuals to them, like being taken to a different atmosphere (like Space Mountain). I want to go on all of them. *_*

EDIT: LOL I MISSED SOMETHING!
So we went to Universal, right? We went to that Harry Potter land, and I got a chocolate frog and those jelly beans. Very cool, but it costed me $20. So expensive.
The next day leaving we were in the car and I opened the bag I had put them in, and the chocolate was CRAWLING with ants. I don't know how they got in there, but I had been keeping the bag on my laps for the most of the trip that they were on my lap too and crawling into my bloomer shorts. : | I FREAKED THE FUCK OUT and we pulled over in some sort of trailor trash area lol ...;;; Once we stopped I like launched out of the car and threw off my shorts, and in perfect timing, an icecream truck paste to see me hanging around on the street in my pantsu. Woo.
So yeah there goes $20 down the drain! T3T But at least it made some... vivid..memories...</b>

So for the most part that's it! Also, new journal skin, woo. |D

An 2012 Table GET

Journal Entry: Fri Mar 2, 2012, 8:18 PM


AN Table


Yes, I'm back from Florida, I had a blast and I'll be uploading photos and an update sometime in the following week.

Tonight however, was the Anime North artist alley registrations!! ;v; And for those who don't know AN, the table space at AN is extremely limited so the spots run out very fast (I mean under one second fast) so to get a table spot applicants have to sit in front of the computer and send their reg email when the clock turns to 11pm.

Sooo, that happened. They take the first 50 and put the last 50 in a draw. I'll know within 24 hours if I got in our not and I'll update. \ o /

Did anyone else apply?

Good luck to everyone!! ;v;/



EDIT:
Fuck I'm in lottery.</b>
Whotf even got a table anyway? I've heard like 15 people in lottery and no one in the first 50.
uuugh hopefully I can either 1. pair up with Saku 2. get in lottery 3. beg people for a half table or 4. winning that contest would be nice ;_;

Going to Florida~!

Journal Entry: Sun Feb 19, 2012, 2:22 PM


Vacation Break


Hi everyone~ :heart:
Just writing a journal entry to let you know I'm going to be gone from the 20th to the 1st. I'm going to Florida! \o/
I haven't been there since I was 6 or so. Ichi and I are going; my parents just retired so they rented a house down there and we are staying with them for a while. Disney World, Universal, shopping, all the fun recreational stuff! This is the second really "nice" trip I've ever been on, so I'm excited (but also scared of crossing the border considering my previous troubles...).
Also I'd like to check out a Sanrio store at some point because I've never been *_*

I will have internet there so I will be able to reply to emails and messages and things, but like I just said on my edited colouring book journal entry, I will not be able to confirm any payments that are coming through mail, for the time being. Sorry about that~
Maybe I'll even be able to do a livestream down there, that'd be nice \o/

I will take lots of pictures. TvT

Bye bye everyone~~ <3

EDIT: I'll be updating my Tumblr and Twitter during my trip if its convenient to my situation >v<

Colouring Book Pre-orders OPEN [UPDATE]

Journal Entry: Mon Jan 30, 2012, 3:42 PM




Colouring book Pre-orders open




UPDATE: 03/03/2011: Hi all and thanks for all of your patience~! I have a bit of news of the colouring book that isn't necessarily bad, I just need to change it a bit.
The tutorial that was to be included within the book is now being included as a pamphlet, rather than pages in the book. The tutorial is still in full colour and the same size as the book as originally planned, so you're getting exactly what you paid for, it just isn't stapled within the book pages.
The reason for this is because when I get a colour book printed, for example, say I have a 60 colour book and only 5 pages of colour and the rest are in black and white. Even if only 5 pages are in colour, I still have to pay for a 60 page full colour book. And that is *very* pricey.
I hope this is not too much of an inconvenience to everyone.
The books will be sent out by the 10th hopefully! Thank you everyone!



UPDATE 19/02/2012: Thank you everyone for your support so far!! I will be taking pre-orders until March 6th. March 6th is also the deadline date for pre-order payments. So if you haven't paid yet please get them into me asap. I will be on vacation Feb 20th to March 1st so for people paying through mail, I will not be able to confirm if I have gotten them or not, until the 1st. Sorry for the inconvenience. If you cannot pre-order, I will have some extras I am ordering, however, my stock is limited, so it's best to pre-order to guarantee yourself a copy. If you have sent a payment by paypal and have NOT received a payment confirmation email from me personally, please message me asap. Thank you everyone!

FAQ
Q. Do you ship internationally?
A. Yes, I ship every where worldwide. :)

Q. How does cash through mail work?
A. I only take American and Canadian cash through mail. I don't accept any other currencies, sorry.

Q. Do the pages work with copics/prismas/coloured pencils etc?
A. Yes, I've personally tested it (with copics at least). The paper is the same as regular printing paper. It IS thin though so you'll have to put a paper underneath so you don't ruin the page underneath it.

Q. When will you be shipping them out?
A. I'm hoping within the first week of March.

Any other questions? Please ask! :heart:

Coloring book opinion needed from those interested

Journal Entry: Sat Jan 21, 2012, 8:02 PM


Colouring book questions


Okay, so a lot of you might already know, I am coming out with a colouring book very soon. If you didn't, well, now you know!! \o/
It's going to have over 30 colouring pages and a copic marker tutorial at the beginning.
The pages ca be scanned and coloured on computer, or the pages can be coloured directly with markers or pencil crayons.
I was planning on making two versions of this book. One with simply the colouring pages, ($15) and one with the colouring pages+the included full colour tutorial/demo and FAQ($25 - there's a jump in prices for the colour pages).

However, I've come across a bit of a problem! And since this book is for you guys, I want to know what YOU would prefer.

The problem is that since this is a colouring book, and I know some of you will want to use your copic markers on it, it might not be a good idea to make the pages double sided. If that's the case, it would double the pages from 30 to 60, (so each colouring page is on it's separate piece of paper) and thus increase the price in about $5.

So would you guys rather an increase price of $5, or just keep them double-sided pages? (These are the only two options, I'm not in the situation to pay for thicker paper unfortunately.)
Which would make the books prices $20 for just colouring pages and $30 for included colour tutorial.
It just sucks because I really didn't wanna have this book go over $25! TT3TT;

Thanks guys~! I hope you're looking forward to it as much as I am. I hope to have preorder info up real soon. I'm sorry for the delaaaaaaaaay. QvQ!!!

Selling Intuos4 Large (Reduced price)

Journal Entry: Wed Jan 11, 2012, 11:05 PM


Tablets for sale!


I've decided to sell my tablets~!

All these prices are with out shipping. Prices are in American.

Edit: I have decided to lower the price of my tablet because (as I've been told by a million people) you could get it cheaper on the Wacom site. Unfortunately for me, I live in Canada, so we get everything more expensive here, and even though I bought it for $500 and put it $20 down originally, I guess it wasn't enough. I'm a bit bitter but I guess there's really not much I can do about it! x'D The new price I am selling him for is $463 US.

Here's my new baby, he's an intuos4 LARGE (bigger than the intuos3 large). I got him for Christmas so he's like new. The reason I'm selling him is because he's just too big for me. He's good if you have a nice open desk space. I'm hoping to use the money I get to buy a medium size.
The working area is 13x8 inches, physical size is 19x12.5 inches.
He works really really wonderfully. Comes with the pen, pen holder, all of the nibs inside the pen holder, mouse, driver CDs, and connection cord. And of course the tabby himself.
I'm selling him for $463.



I take payments by paypal and check/money order through mail. You can note me here on DA if you're interested or send an email to oshaikeuchi (at) gmail (dot) com.
I hope they at least interest someone. >v<;;;;;;;;;;;

With that being said, I'm taking preorders for my colouring book very soon. I'm so sorry for the wait (it's been months) but it will be here soon >3<

Thanks for reading! \o/

Posted some anime goods on eBay~

Journal Entry: Sat Nov 19, 2011, 12:13 PM


Haruka's Seasons Contest


Prev: season's contest

Hello everyone~! \o/
I've posted a couple of my anime goods I'm getting rid of onto eBay. Through out the year I will probably find myself selling a lot of things here and there, so once and awhile I might make these journals. I have.... a ton of anime merchandise, and my current space is too small for all the things I own and/or I just have some stuff from series I've grown out of. (Plus, I'm going to Florida soon + con season is coming up so I need to save up a loooooot of money.)

If you don't have an eBay account and you're interested in any of my items, please let me know over DA and if by the end of the auction they're not sold I can let you have it.

Click for sales


(My tablet is on here too, for an extremely reduced price >v>" )

Thank you for everyone's support and patience with me for the colouring book too~! I'm doing my best trying to keep up with all of the emails >v<"

Oh yea, and I have a Twitter, I'm trying to use it more.

I don't do requests

Journal Entry: Wed Nov 16, 2011, 10:56 AM


Requests


I don't know what happened recently but over the past few weeks I've been getting lots of notes asking me to draw people pictures.
The answer is no.

I DON'T DO REQUESTS.

I have enough work on my plate that I am being paid for, so Idk why people would expect me to draw them something for free, considering I don't even know them. You can't just go up to someone you don't know and ask them to do a whole bunch of personal work for you (in ANY situation). It's kind of rude, people. :( Drawing takes a lot of time.

That being said I also don't do art trades unless they are a close friend (or unless I really like your work). And no that doesn't mean you can ask "can we be friends?" and then I'll be able to do an art trade with you. That's not how friendship works.

I also don't do point drawings, unless it's my special one year occasion where I need them to get a new subscription. x'D The next time is ten months from now.

The only time I give out requests is once a year, around November-January (it's coming up) where I livestream as many requests I can take (just bust shots). Last year it lasted for two days and I did about 60-70 drawings. x'D I've been doing it for two years now. So you can look forward to that, though I can't promise a request to everyone.

Remember, I'm only one person and I already have a lot of work that I am doing for myself. My work takes time. So please consider that.

Thanks again for reading \o/
