....I'm growing up! XD

It's 5:00 am and I'm still up. o.O' So me and Purgatory had a real heart-to-heart and we talked for like five hours straight. I was on and off the phone charger trying to keep it charged and from keeping it from getting too hot. We talked about haveing a shop that sells books and fashion goods. Like fun japanese fashions. Like Harujuku and fruits. I think it'd be fun if we sold anime goods too. We also talked about putting a tea area inside but I don't really want to deal with food. I could get a bussiness license and save up money and rent out a building... That would be a ton of fun, and we would both run it so we wouldn't need to hire anymore people. And we could split the profits down the middle and pay for the rent, items, etc. down the middle also. I could sell my comics and plushies at the shop too!! XD of course I have no idea what any of this costs. I'm sure of the in the thousands range. It's something nice I could do during college and afterwards. And yes, I know, most small bussinesses die out and fade away. So it could be nice while it lasts? As long as it doesn't put me in debt. That wouldn't be nice! I don't know if she took this seriously or not, but I did. I really did. I think this would be way awesome. So, any ideas or solutions? Any site places where I can buy wholesale/bulk? (clothes, anime, books) I like this place. Cute clothes. :) - I decided to call my plushie Ume, it means plum blossoms in japanese. I'm so not tired. I'm acctualy wired. o.o it is 5:13 am -kuronekosama

:O

I'm watching Sleepy Hollow... Well kind of, I'm on the internet too! XD but only because I'm getting dress ideas... I made a pretty plushie~ She has long uneven blue, green, and purple hair with a blue and black checkered lolita dress! If I can fix the digital camera I'll snap a shot of her and post her. Or I could go buy another one, a friend of mine got one at the dollar store for 10 bucks. I haven't made a name up for her yet. I'm thinking Momoko, but thats so cliche...and she's not that peachy. Plushies are fun. I need to remake my pattern, the heads smaller than I would want it to be. >.> Another insane hobbie... -kuronekosama

sooo....

I dyed some clothe to use for the skin color on the plushies. I'm going to make like four prototypes before I make any real plushies. Making patterns is a task. I told my mom about it and she said: "Isn't that stuff copyrighted?" o.o' Bah. Mothers always point out the most obvious of things. Doujinshi artist get away with the copyrighted thing because they make a limited number of them. Thats why they are so expensive! XD Anime and such is such an expensive obsession. Yes, it is an obsession. 'Tis the curse of the Otaku. At least it's a good curse. ^^ I got called a bitch yesterday. I was in art class and I was trying to concentrate real hard and this girl comes up and starts to talk to me... "WoW! That drawings so good." "yea.." "You get that a lot don't you?" "yea....." "So are you making a pattern with that paper towel?" (I was doing a water color) ".....yesss...." Then she walked off all mad. I sware I wasn't being a snot to her. I was just concentrating very hard. And besides your going to get stupid answers for stupid questions. O.o' people make me go 'grrr'. Currently reading the Canterburry Tales in English. It's okay... It's rather long and dragging. I wish I hadn't forgotten Saiyuki on the desk at my house. Now I'm all sad and don't have anything to read during class. I'm like this ---> T.T I drew instead. I drew a kitty gal and a lovly Chi doodle. She looks sad. I like the dress. So ends lunch, now I journey back to the class of English... -kuronekosama

   D:)

My icon changed! That’s exciting. I thought it would never do that. So, I’m going to go get my hair cut…eventually. Then I’ll dye it after I get my job in May. Some people won’t hire you because of ridiculous reasons. I’m thinking of blue and green? Like the preety bright blues…and greens. I have decided on a way to make some money for comic production on my free time. I’m going to make dollies and plushies and sell them on ebay. Hopefully I won’t get too attached and want to keep them after I’m through. I’ll probably make a prototype and keep that one. I’ll have to experiment on how to make bodies easily and efficiently. And also to make good ears! XD I’m not too worried about the clothes. Doll clothes are easier to make than people clothes. They don’t have to fit right (being to close to your armpits…that sort of thing) they just have to look nice. I’ve seen plushies (ones that are constructed nice) go for more than $70.00. For some nice time and effort that’s a handsome price. Future planning is fun. Any plushie ideas? I’m thinking of a Chi and Freya. Does any one know what the ‘other’ Atashi is called? Y’know, the one that represents Freya? thankies. -kuronekosama

   AHH!

I keep trying to change my icon and it says it did, but it won't change. It's supposed to be a kitty laughing. I really want a lolita dress. They are so preety. That's one of the things that I want to buy when I get money and a job. I also want to dye my hair, but Kevin is so against it. He says it looks stupid. I really want to do it though. I think that I will anyway. I want to do fun things while I can, because if I get older then you do it. Because everyone is like "eww, old people" and I don't want to embaress my kids...to much. :D I also want to buy a scanner. That is a very powerful need. I don't know what colors I want my wedding to be. I thought about purple and black, but then a lot of people would be like "What?! Not white?!" I've never wanted a white wedding, even when I was in elementary school. I always wanted a blue or purple one. And even then I got that reaction. Y'know the "WHY?" question. The one that's so full of disgust. I want it to be on April 1st and everyone dress up like in the Victiorian ages or the lolita. I know most people wouldn't know what that was though, so like the 'audience' can wear whatever they want. While the people who are actually 'in the wedding' have to wear the lolita/victorian style. ...I doubt it'll ever happen though. so discouraging. -kuronekosama

:3

Thanks for the previous comments! I loved them. They were just what I wanted. So anatomy is my big problem, eh? I'll get one of those drawing manga books, but only the good kind. Those Christopher Hart ones suck. So, new art. Nothing special, because my scanner is broken. So these are just doodles of Ross I did in paint. I'm just going to buy me a scanner instead of fixing that old outdated piece of junk. It keeps deleting itself off the computer, so I have to keep reinstaling it. It's such a pain..and then the floppy's don't work and now my jump drive doesn't work unless you tilt it up. Technology is not on my side. In art class I'm drawing this painting with a mother nature as the focal point. I like it. I'm just scared I'll mess it up. That would really suck! I've worked so hard on it. Runnning back and forth to the libaray and other class rooms to find refrenece pictures... It was so unblivably hard to find a tree book. I found one, it's just not exactly what I wanted. On another note, the libaray finally got in all those manga that I requested in. So I have been a happy little person with volumes 1-6 (except 3 for some weird reason they didn't order that volume o.O) of Tsubasa. So we have Death Note and...thats about all we got that I requested. We have others such as: Kare Kano, Inuyasha, Case Closed and Demon Diary. I checked out Demon Diary but I doubt I'll read it though. Something about me and Manwha don't go together. I don't know if it's the story, or the art...or even the names. I don't know. I thought I'd give it a chance though. I read the first three to four pages and the stories pacing is fast. I dunno, maybe I might pick it up later. I read a book called 'the body of christopher creed'. It has a missleading title, but it's way awesome. I like that author. I've only read two of her books and I'm debating on wether or not to read 'the she'. That plot just sounds stupid. XD -kuronekosama

   ...it's something that needs to be said...as always

So graduation is growing ever near... My aunt Angel called a few nights ago, she wanted to know why mother hadn't picked up the phone in two or three months. I told her why. She was slightly upset. I told her about everything and how I am gettin no help on life what so ever. She said she look up local art schools for me. She also said that I needed to go to a community college and then to the actual school part. She said it would be easier and cheaper. I can absolutly not go to school right after graduation. I'm most possably going to get a job at Waldensbooks or at McKay's Used Books and CD's. I am almost terrified to haveing a job. Not so much the job part, just the whole other thing. Like everything. You know, people. The awkwardness. It's like middle school all over again. I don't care as much about what people think about me. I like the girl that works at Waldens and the Jewish guy too, they are both very visually clever. Growing up is nerve racking. I am the only Senior in my art class. I have no idea who anyone is in that class. I hate how they keep all the underclassmen together. It's like they are a whole different breed. People are so...awkward. You can tell so much about someone just by staring at them. Their clothes, the way they walk, the stuff they eat and especially how their hands look. Look at peoples finger nails, you can tell so many things by that one thing. Artist's usally have things all over their hands and funk staining their nails, but it also depends on their personality. Be observant. I believe that is one of the keys to lead a full life. ...maybe I'm just way to observant. Maybe I'm just weird. --- With the information I have just give you. I want you to complete something for me. Truthfully. Tell me what you think of my art. Truthfully. I want a something that is real. Tell if you think that I can really make it. If you tell me my art's nice, then tell me why it's nice. You like my style, it's fluid etc. It is so very hard to receive decent critisism because everyone always claims that something's good, just because 'were friends' or the fact that someone on the other side has 'feelings'. Forget that I have feelings, forget that I am a human being. Tell me what you really think. I have tried to find my own style, I'm not sure if I'd succeded or not. I really need to know if I can become a comic book artist/mangaka. This is for real people. Truth. -kuronekosama

   !_!

So... it's cold here. I was in the 70's on Monday, talk about a dramatic drop now it's like 34' degrees outside. Talk about crazy. I already have an english paper due! Ah, those darn teachers...luckly I already read Beowulf so I don't have to reread it. :3 I haven't tried to use my pens again since the smallest exploded but I'll try my best to make it work, as I don't have $60.00 to go and buy a new set. I don't know if they sell them seperate or not. I don't even think the local art store (Jerry's) has them anyway. We bought them off the internet. I think Jerry's had them at one time but they stopped selling them a few years back. I believe thats how I knew they went for $60.00. We had to illistrate the poem of Beowulf in picture book form and guess who got to draw the cover? Me. My group said that I should do it so that I would throw everyone off because no one can draw anything except stick figures. I also drew a little deformed Grendal. Hahhhahhh. -kuronekosama

   whoooo...

I'm making a costume... You can look at it here. O.O Talk about a pain in the butt. I have a very large feeling my sewing machine needle is not going to like that fabric. So, I finished the artsies like five minutes ago. My .13 pen died, I believe. The ink won't come out, instead it comes out the sides. And then it exploded all over me. I look like I wrestled an ink monster. Mommie said it's because it's blocked, it's also not rattling. x.x I cleaned it out real good though. My mom also said that it could have been that I leave the top off of the pens when I'm drawing. She told me that could dry up the ink faster. She also said the sediment from the ink could have gathered in the needle. So I soaked that pen and in the mean time I used the .18 pen. GTK's drawing was fun, I'm a little upset about the armless boy's expression though. Hopefully GTK won't get mad at me for drawing Rubi with his hair not...erm..fluffy. *dies* I can understand if she never talks again. I can understand if I murdered her character. Same for Ebony. ^^' Hah aha ha.... I have a new schedule now. I have: Economy/Government 1st Adanced Art 2nd English IV 3rd Landscaping 4th Landscaping is yet another class that the school made up so that they don't have to pay for a groundskeeper. -.-' I am the ONLY senoir in art. They took me out of my textiles and apperal class and put me in art again. I was sad but happy at the same time. I wish I didn't have to take Gov/Econ. Stupid Tennessee rules! grrr to you! So, senior year doesn't seem so bad, the teachers are nice and the people okay. (are they ever?) ^^ oh yes. Be expecting new art sometime, I just have to have time to use the scanner, which is in my moms room. Ahhh, scary. -kuronekosama

ha ha silly little kids....

That person is stilling angry at me, their account is 'Kira the Wolf'. It's a little twelve year old child. I constructivly criticized their artwork and now they're mad. It's just that they are so mental immature that it bothers them that there is someone that thinks that there is room for improvement. I could really care less, it doesn't bother me. They can think I'm this hidious beast thats a bitch, but I know I'm not like that so I don't care. They can think what they want, after all it is America. ^^ Another person wants me to do an art request...but I said I'd rather do an art trade, but in reality I really don't want to do that either! XD I do stuff for my special little friends, not somebody I don't know. - Hah! This is my first post of 2007!
