JulyContest
YIPPEE! I entered the Julycontest. I honestly, wasn't planning on it but inspiration hit so I decided why not. But HELL...it took a damn lot longer than what I thought it would! Over FOURTY hours! *dies* I hate how Spike's body came out the pants especially. Damn! >.< But I do love his expression. The painting is pretty big so I couldn't scan it and my digital camera really sucks so I think it kind of blurred his face a tad bit. *Sigh* Anyways...that's...about it. Here's a bit of my 'step-by-step' replay on how I did the piccy:
First: I looked at my Spiderman-Drawing-Dolls (Seriously, buy those if you want dolls. Dragondancer1014 told me how flexable they are compared to normal art dolls...they help twenty times more than those!)
Second:I went to a window (home-made lightbox) and re-traced my sketch onto a huuuuge piece of paper. After that, I drew my Ed and Spike. ^.^
Third:I did my background...cause, I was lazy and didn't do that first. ^.^U
Fourth: I painted the background first, then colored the characters.
Fifth: I digitally added the Otaku logo and fixed the lighting. ^__^ Go and see the final version.

Heya! I tried to visit a lot of sites today...SORRY if I missed you! :*( Anyways, lots of talking now....onto it!
I had a habunaro pepper a few days a go. For those who do not know it is the hottest pepper in the world. I saw a news thing on them once where there was a big festival for their harvest and in some countries you need a medical permit for them. o.O;; Here, I just took a trip over to the good ol' grocery store. Both me and Erin had one. I had one last year so..doubly stupid for me to have it again). This time, though it had to be twice as bad as the one last year. Last year, I ate it and couldn't have water for ten minutes, and I couldn't have milk only thing to solve it) for an hour and a half and I only had a stomach ache for a few hours. And I got paid for it! ^.^ This time...whew...bad. Aside from my insides feeling like they were melting, my lips swelling, and my skin on my hand turning bright red- I had a stomach ache until the next day and I drank an entire one litre of chocolate milk within five minutes after eating it. Lmfao. I told Erin that she'd finish her little bottle of white milk instantly...and behold she did.
AMV...dammit...it is making me mad. I've been trying to save it onto my cp now that it is done, but it won't save into the music-video format. >__< And I'm DONE. So frustrating. :P
I joined an online rpg...geeky...but all well, that's why I'm an Otaku. ^_^;; I fit in here! Anyways, I haven't rpged in about..eh two years or so? I did it for four years before that. I had to stop because I got too busy. Anyways, we have...two active people. >.< dammit, yahoogroups is driving me crazy. It's a future-Gravitation rpg. All that's taken is Shuichi, Tohma, and Suguru. Here's my advertising-first-post-not-really-a-post (I hate not being able to indent -_-):
A cold sweat prickled the nape of his neck, just below the
edge of his cropped jade hair. His many layers of clothing clung
tightly to his body as he swayed to the music; and if he had been
paying attention he would have quickly dubbed it `uncomfortable'.
Instead, his focus was directed solely on the synthesizer before
him. His fingers blurred and an enormous crescendo pierced the air
instantaneously. His lips tightened as the solo came near its end.
He could feel the thousand pairs of eyes bearing down upon him. The
weight of the attention, the stage lights, the pressure…he was
terrified by it, but he loved it. This needed to be perfect…it was
his last…
With a roar of sound, the keyboardist halted the aggressive
play as a familiar voice blasted back onto the speakers. The
audience shrieked; and whether it was from his solo or the return of
their beloved singer, he was not sure. He did not care to know. He
could only feel the long tangle of emotions that had knotted deep
within his gut tighten painfully: pride for their accomplished
goals, anxiety for their future, but overall a deep sense of pain as
the end crashed down upon them.
His fingers went on `auto-pilot' as he leaned toward the
microphone mounted on his synth. In the corner of his eye he saw
their red-headed guitarist do the same. As they provided back-up, a
clear, soaring voice rose above theirs. Suguru turned his eyes to
the familiar violet ones of-
"Fujisaki-sama!" If Suguru had been anyone else he would
have jolted violently from the intrusion. Instead, he lifted his
head and raised an eyebrow at the subordinate leaning half-way in
his office. With an irritated groan, Suguru reached over and lightly
tapped the cassette player's off switch.
"Yes? I thought I told the secretary I wasn't taking
visitors at the moment," Suguru muttered, annoyed that even
his `private-time' could not remain `private'.
"Ah, well," the man fumbled, fishing out a cassette from his
pocket. "This just came in. It was supposed to go with today's
demos, but there was a bit of confusion. You see, sir, the lady in
charge of the ban-"
"Bring it here," Suguru interrupted distractedly as he
ejected the cassette tape he had been listening to before the
interruption. "I'm going through them right now."
"T-T-Thank you, Sir!" the man gushed as he fully entered the
room and set the demo at the top of the stack.
"Yes, yes, on your way out, would you please tell my
secretary when I say `no visitors', I mean: no visitors; no matter
the reason," the president sighed as he replaced the cassette, in
his hand, back into its cover-box and stamped it with a `B.L:
REJECTED' insignia.
"Yes, Sir."
The man quickly saw himself out the door. When he was gone,
Suguru's tense shoulders visibly slackened. Exhaling loudly, he
glanced at the newly-arrived demo with curiosity. Late, yet it still
arrived on its deadline. His lips curved upwards slightly. Just like
how their's always was…
Suguru removed himself from behind his desk and stood before
the window. Below him, hundreds of cars and people passed by,
endlessly rushing towards some goal or agenda. His hands clasped
behind his back as he rested his forehead on the cold, smooth glass.
The city was alive out there. So, why did he feel so dead?
Yup, that's it. Here's my 'Advertising Moment of the Day': http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Gravitation_The_New_Generation_RPG/

OMFG...I'm an Otaku Legend.

*Cries* My DREAM has come TRUE! That took me by surprise. One second I'm a Senior Otaku...I come back on the cp and it changed. It scared the crap outta me...though I don't know why.
Eh.
What did I do today? Cleaned, watched kids, hung out with Erin cause Nicole ditched us, and now I'm on the cp again. I'm so boring. ^__^;; But that's why I draw, ne?
I HAVE...finished my AMV though. It's my first AMV (though I have done a music video to Battle Royale in the past). I'm proud of it, though I can tell where I messed up and what-not. It's entitled 'I Won't Pay' for Ouran High School Host Club (Song is 'Why Don't You Get a Job?' By Offspring). As soon as I have more room on the computer I'll be saving it in a different format and putting it up on youtube (then on otaku) for you guys to check out.
Drawing Stats: Doing a Gravi one...worked 15+ hours on it so far. Still in the process of an origial (20+ hours), and have a request to do a Zabuza picture. I also have plans for an Ouran x Furuba crossover with Hunny and Momiji after I'm done with that. ^___^;; I have a lot to do, ne?

Morning Troubles
I've been up...um...about fifteen minutes and already it's an unpleasant day. I'll review.
1. The girls I am babysitting, apparently are spending the night...no one told me. They are extremely loud and constantly hyper (as all kids are).
2. 3:30 Jolted awake because Clara (the 4 year old) is crying. Jolted, as in I bolted up. I probably scared the shit out of her, especially since she was crying really quietly. But she was crying because she fell asleep in the bedroom and her sister was out in the living room. I had to make her a bed.
3. After I go back to sleep, I am awoke (about fifteen minutes a go) by my cats fighting (normal)...on my face. I got two long scraches across my face now. Hopefully they won't scar or anything. Definatly not a fun way to wake up.
4. When I get up to get Neosporn, I can barely hold anything. My wrists hurt...extremely bad. If this is what arthritis is like...omfg it *hurts* I weeded the garden, literally all of yesterday. I found it to be more relaxing than anything, but afterwards it hurt real bad. My typing is pretty rough right now. :P
Mood: Surprisingly, okay. Should feel bad, I suppose, but eh. I'll take some advil and deal with it! I'll try to post again later in the day, but if I don't, you know my reasoning!
(Go check out yesterday's video if you haven't already!)

Yuki: [looking bored] I'm sorry.
Kyo: Dammit! That's not what I meant! Don't you have any shame?
Yuki: [still looking bored] Yes, I'm ashamed to be seen with you, shouting in public.
Kyo: Oh that's it! We're taking this outside!
Yuki: [still looking bored] We ARE outside, you stupid cat.

^__^ Nothing to talk about, but hey..here I post anyway! Lessee...tomorrow I gotta weed the garden (but I heart our garden, so it's okay)and clean out the basement bar...oh and finish that memory project (where we paint orphans's pictures- this time they are from Uganda). That's due...uh...by the end of the week or so. ^.^;; I'm nearly done, I just really hate oil painting so I'm stuck in the mud. I've got a few fanarts swirling around in my head finally, plus I've got a request here and there to do. I've finally got an original idea for a dystopian story. So, I'll go work on that some time soon. And oh...I should start my summer homework...sometime soon...Ack. A.P sucks in summer. >.<;; That's all! Goodnight!

Quote of the Day:
Shigure Sohma: So, anyway, I was wondering if you could stop by the house and take a look at Tohru's cut. That is, if it isn't a problem.
Hatori Sohma: No problem. I'll stop by the house this evening.
Shigure Sohma: Hmmm? What's this, Hatori? I don't think I ever heard you sound so eager to come over. Could it be you have a secret crush on Tohru?
[long silence from the other end of the phone]
Shigure Sohma: [shouts] I knew it! You naughty, naughty man, you!
Hatori Sohma: No, I was simply too amazed by your stupidity to say anything.
