EXTREME EMOTIONAL STRESS
I feel TERRIBLE right now....
I mean TERRIBLE.....

I was finishing up the lineart for TMMchica's art trade, and I spent 4+hours on the lineart...
it came out FANTASTIC! And I was soo proud of it


But then came the coloring....


I wasn't THAT worried about the coloring, because I've gotten better at it, but this was my FIRST time coloring an African-American mew, and I was really scared for my limited color selection.
So I colored the clothes, the hair, the shoes, and fans, no big deal....
but then I came to the skin.

And it came out TERRIBLE.
The skin choice color was so dark I had to redo some of the lineart on the face...and that ruined it even more. She was really happy and smiling, but after redoing the lineart to make it stand out, she was frowning...
Not to mention that the outline of the eye wasn't right... it looked REALLY distinctive, and that isn't something I normally do with my pictures...

I was SO upset that I actually cried about it.
And I still am.

I mean, it's just a picture, but it's not like it's for me, it's for TMMchica. I'm REALLY sorry, Chica-chan, but I don't think I'll be able to redo it... this TOTALLY crushed everything... but I'll try.

*Sighs and cries even more* It's just a picture, but I spent SOOO much time on it, and it makes me REALLY upset...6 and a half hours just for designing, drawing, and lineart... and the coloring took another 2 hours... and it came out terrible in the end.
This may seem like a stupid thing to get upset about, but I worked REALLY hard on that pic and it ended up being totally ruined in the end. So bad I don't think Chica-chan would really like it.
Yes, I am somewhat of a perfectionist, but that's not it in this case. This time it's just the fact I worked REALLY hard on something and it all came out terrible in the end. And that it wasn't for me, it was for a friend.
That's why I'm crying, and that's why I'm under extreme emotional stress right now. Sorry everyone for that huge rant, but I feel so awful. *huggles you all for consolation*

Alright everyone! Listen up!! ^^
Okay everyone, this is pretty important!! ^^
Miko-chan(priestesspower444) and I need your help!
If you've seen her fanart, "Foxy" you probably already know about this, but for those of you that don't, I'm going to tell you guys! ^^


Miko-chan and I think that instead of there being a featured list of just 8 piccys or something, there should maybe be a whole page! And, not to say that Psyconorika's or ElvesAtemyramen's art is bad or anything, but they ALWAYS get featured, and I'm sure that they both know they are plenty good enough already. But what about those that never get featured? Or the artists that ask for constructive criticism to improve, but no one can ever give it to them because other art is too busy getting featured? Well, Miko-chan thinks it's time to step up and maybe get you guys to help out!

I mean, true, it isn't a bad thing that art is featured, but the kind of art that gets featured matters too. Sure, it's not a bad thing to look at Naruto art, but that's about the only art you ever really see get featured. There isn't so much variety now adays and it's mostly just Naruto. Maybe if people looked at other art, there would be more variety!

The people that draw other things besides Naruto and usually get featured often are trying to keep it alive. It would be great if we could have your help in trying to revive the featured fanart with NEW fanart besides just Naruto, you know what I mean?(if you don't, then just keep reading *laughs*)

So, that about sums it all up! Theotaku just gave the people on here the ability to Fave Fan Manga, because soo many people asked for it! Maybe if WE ask for it, Theotaku might give it to us too!

If you guys want to help out, great! ^^ We really appreciate it, but PM priestesspower444 and tell her you want to help!
Thankies soo much all of you for reading this! I really hope you guys consider the idea!

Questions for you all! ^^
1)Do you think that if we get enough people to help, this idea might actually work?
2)Do YOU want to help out?
3)What's your favorite flavor of Candy(or ice cream if you don't like candy)?

K! We've made a petition! To sign, here's the link:

We just got back from Disney World and we're staying at a hotel called the Enclave 0_0
It was FANTASTIC just as you guys said! ^^ And sakurie-chan, I gave Mickey a HUGE hug! ^^
There was this ride called Space Mountain! That was one of my favorites! ^^ And I liked the Splash Mountain and Thunder mountain too! ^^
Me and my family also went to Epcot and Animal Kingdom, and it was just sooo fun! ^^ We almost didn't have time in our whole day to fit it all in! ^^ But the Expedition Everest ride at Animal Kingdom was my FAVORITE! ^^
Well, good thing I brought my laptop for this trip(actually, it's my dad's ^^;), and for those of you that I still need to finish up, I'll post everyone's piccys at the same time so some of you won't have to wait longer than others ^^ Fair enough, I hope ^^(don't kill me if yours doesn't show up first in the order I submit ^^; , please? *shiny eyes*)
Well, I definitely had a great time here so far(man this is a long post)! And kittycat-chan, have a nice time in Wisconsin, and animegirly2, your request is on the way! ^^
I'm sure you guys take note how many smilies (^^)I put after each sentence *laughs* But I'm just soo happy right now! ^^

Hiya! ^^

How is everyone? ^^

Anyways, I have TONS of work to do... and some extra work I should start working ahead on >.< But I'll be okay! ^^
I submitted a pic some 15 hours ago... it's taking forever to get up here >.< But anyways, I think it came out great!^^

I've been trying to find out how to install this program for my scanner since my parents aren't really helping.. they don't really want to anyway...>.< I really want you all to see what's in my manga and see what you all think!^^


Well, here's the basic story line ^^;I hope it at least gets you guys somewhat interested!!

The story revolves around a regular school-girl (isn't this how all mangas start out?) in high school. *laughs* She's based on me, her name is Sayura ^^ But one day, her crush, Gaorith(interesting name, no?), tells her that he's actually in love with her best friend, Saikyi, and he just wants her help. A portal opens up and Sayura is thrown into another parallel world, where almost everything is the opposite, except...
She is the girl that is supposed to lead a magician(Saryujin) to the princess that he is in love with!(and that girl's name, I can't tell! ^_~)
The main question is: How will she get back?

Well, that's bascially it! ^^ It'll be a little more clear when I actually post the manga(hopefully I will fix this terrible scanner and get it up!>.<)
Anyways, I'll see you guys! Tell me how you all are doing, I really want to know! ^^
