Yeah, so neways, I got my cyborg kitty angel drawing done. ^^ Now I only have three more drawings on my to do list. Bad thing is, I got kinda distracted after the kitty drawing...I don't know how it started but one thing just lead to another. First I found myself sketching Mint, then Cress, then that lead to a nine tail fox, then that lead to an adoreable chibi Klarth, then that lead to Mew Suika ,the mew that someone tried to steal from me :( . Good thing is, I got a lot of art done in one day (first on my part), bad thing is, it's preventing me from my projects.

In other news, my laptop kinda broke...it's fixed now tho, but man, was I freaked. This thing was expensive! Thankfully, I know a lot of computer/anime/videogame freaks so that helps a lot. ^^ I dunno how but the screen saver was messing up my laptop.

I've got nuthin else ta say, but if you have a drawing request I'll be happy to take it while I'm on a drawing streak! Or an art trade...I always wanted to try that...

videogame fact o the day: Cam Clarke does the voice acting for Kratos from Tales of Symphonia as well as the singing voice for Simba in Lion King II. This isn't the most interesting fact in the world, but it does put an interesting image in one's head. I mean, since both are done by the same voice actor, you might as well say Kratos is singing the songs in Lion King II. Now that makes an amusing scene. :P

this is Kratos for those who don't know. Yeah, can't you just see this serious guy singing a Lion King song? XD hahaha

Yesterday I was in a strange mood. I kept talking like Kenshin....*shrug*

Well, neways I'm back on the drawing track again. I'm working on a few ideas right now. One is a cyborg kitty angel. I know it sounds kinda funky, but surprisingly it actually looks awsome. Unfortunatly since I am all about the fantasy elf world junk I had to use Angelic Layer as my robo reference cuz I'm not really into the mecha stuff. (Although one of my mangas in progress is actually mecha -_-" Sometimes my logic makes no sense)
The second thing I'm working on is a cute Tales of Phantasia idea. You see, there are a lot of Tales of Symphonia drawings with the cast dressed up in some sort of costume(not the ones in the game) and then I just happened to stare at Cress's hair and in my insane state of mind I thought about how Cress and Dhaos have the same hair color(don't question my logic). So out of the blue, I thought of Chester, and then I thought of a Dark Lord(those annoying little buggers that take forever to beat). And somehow my mind put two and two together so now my other project is drawing Cress dressed up as Dhaos and Chester dressed up like one of those Dark Lord henchmen ppl. I might possibly put Mint in there too, depending on how well the picture goes. She'd be one of those evil little Cleric ppl who always cast those seal spells on you. I'm hoping to color that one on the computer, or have someone color it for me, then sign my name to it. I wanna see if it ends up as one of those fanarts for videogames that get circled around the net. There's really no point to that, but as I've said, don't question sage's logic!
A third project I'm working on(aren't I busy?) is for Tales of Symphonia. It's the gang on a farm with giant veggies, and one certain giant red fruit that a certain mercenary fears :P
And then my fourth project O_o is a girl in a sort of dark outfit. She's gonna be a moon spirit or something like that. Then I might possibly add a sun spirit dude just cuz.
And I'm gonna color them all! Except the cyborg kitty. She's good in just black and white.

Well, that's really all I gotta say. So on to the videogame fact o the day!

videogame fact o the day: In LoZ OoT, we all know that there are cows and cuccos and dogs and such, but did you know there's a cat? That's right, there's a cat, but it's hidden. If you go to the future and see the old lady in the back of Kakariko (I know I sp that wrong) you'll see her stroking this tiger like cat. So yah, the videogame fact of the day is more like see if you can find the kitty kitty. =^.^= meow!
What's even more awsome is that in the new game there are cats that you can actually pick up. I wonder if they'll scratch you to death or something if you accidently (or purposely if you're on of those cucco abusers *sage quietly raises her hand*) hit em.....that could get messy.

Meh, this one can't really think of anything to write but thought that she should at least put something down, so yeah.

Does anyone know how to get darker colors with prisma colors? I've blended and blended but everything I do ends up too light. I only use photoshop for darkening my work cuz my stuff is so faint ^^" Perhaps if I pushed down harder...blah.

Okay, videogame fact o the day: (this is for you Mokusei) Alright, Link from LoZ is named Link because of the connection between him and the player since it was one of the first rpg's of its kind where you could determine what he did, where'd he go, and all that good stuff we love rpg's for.



hah, you can tell this one is bored. Stuck on a videogame, artist's block, and a whole summer ahead of her. Oh boy. :P

Yeah, I just found out that I'm an Otaku Legend! *puts on a cape while fantasy music twirls in the background* With this pencil, I shall vanquish all EVIL!!!! Except the squirrles and cockroaches. They're gonna take over the world no matter how powerful the forces of good are. ^^

Usually I write about what I plan on doing art wise, but today, I'm not! Wow!
My creativity fled with my attention span. You can blame a really awsome Tales of Symphonia fanfiction for that.

Speaking of which, I found a website that had the Tales of Symphonia manga. I was so happy I actually found it! Bad news is, with the additional shipping charges it bumped that book right outta my price range. I don't have that much money to begin with. -_-" I'll just give some money to my friend and ask that she buys it for me when she goes to Japan. Then I won't have to pay a stupid shipping charge. SHIPPING CHARGES ARE EVIL!!!!! >:(

Does anyone know how to put music on this site? I know that I have a song, but the thing is, it doesn't work. I've tried yahoo, but I've had rotten luck with finding the songs I want. I really would like it if this site could play the opening theme to tales of phantasia. I LOVE that song ^^ It suits this site perfectly. Either that or this One Piece song I have. It's all happy and bouncy.

I'm still at a loss on how to begin a fanfiction. I thought of a good idea, then got distracted half way through when I thought of a good scene for one of my "mangas in progress". I have so many manga ideas....I have about six mangas thought out, but I'm just too lazy to take the step to draw em. (well, not lazy. Short attention span.) Wait, forget that. I mean SEVEN "mangas in progress" and one fanmanga for my friend cuz she really likes this one character I made up. I really wanted to kill that guy off, but no----. I made him up years ago before my creativity kicked in. Looking back now I wonder how on earth I could have made this guy up! He's terrible! But I can't be too mad about that uncreative scribble. I used his character design to make a much cuter, more thought out character who has quite a fan club among my friends. So yah....once my manga is published eventually I'll post pictures of my characters cuz then, NO ONE CAN STEAL THEM!!! XD It'd be rather ironic tho, cuz no one would know that I made the manga and I'd either be critisized on how off I am or praised on how well I draw them. "Just like the artist" hahaha

Neways, videogame fact of the day: (everyone probably knows this one already, but) the voices of Presea and Corrine(Tales of Symphonia) and Raven(Teen Titans) are done by the same voice actor. Actually, she's also done the voices of Omi from Xiaolin Showdown, Timmy Turner of Fairly Oddparents, I think Rikku from FF, and someone in Jak and Daxter, but I don't know the name of the character. She's also done the voice of Ben from Ben Ten. This girl has done EVERYTHING!!!! O_O it's scary...



heh, a Chester tribute cuz I'm a Chester fangirl :P YAY CHESTER!

I went ahead and submitted Klarth. I forgot I have a tablet now so I don't have to worry about my trial photoshop 2.0 I use to darken my work until my friend takes it back. And when she does hopefully I'll have my own by then, but for now, celebrate!!!! Whooo!

I now have Suzu on my team. She is so adoreable XD It was funny tho, because she has to undergo some kind of ninja trial. So I'm fighting these test ninja when I get to the fourth ninja. Just take a random guess at what his name was. Sasuke. I was laughing so hard when I saw that. I've never really liked Sasuke but who knew I'd get to kick his butt? That definantly made my day.
I'm at a loss on who to draw now: I still haven't drawn Mint, Arche, Suzu, or Brambert. I think I'm going to try Brambert, but I'm open to any requests. I seem to work well under pressure.
Well, neways, videogame fact o the day time!
In the Legend of Zelda, the princess (which I hope by now you all know is named Zelda) was named after F. Scott Fitzgerald's wife (he's an author of books) just because Miyamoto thought the name sounded important and nice.
I've actually read one of F. Scott Fitzgerald's books. Kinda wierd knowing that.

Hello again. I was thinking, and I came up with a nifty idea. Would anyone be interested if I had a videogame fact or something interesting about, well, anything I feel like? It could be at the end of any post (and while most of it'd probably be zelda, I think it might be fun)
So what do you think?
Comments (3) | Permalink

Well, I have Klarth done. I'm not going to post him just yet, tho. I want to wait until I have some more art done before scanning him. I'm relying on a sample photoshop program to darken my work since I can't figure out how to work photoshop 5.0, and I only have 5 more times left to use it so I want to use it to its fullest before I have to give it up.
Request wise: I have one for Tokyo Mew Mew and that's it. I'm open to any more requests! I like being a busy little artist, even if it drags me away from my precious videogames. *strokes a gameboy and mutters to it Smeagle style* My precious.....
*cough* *cough* Neways, one of my friends mentioned something about chess and it reminded me of this annoying inncident so I thought, why not make it a poll?
Soooooo----has anyone ever messed you up while you were in the middle of playing a game(videogame,hide n seek, what ever) so that you lost?
As I mentioned, I was playing chess against a little kid and was about to win. I had way more pieces than her and I only had to make a few more moves to win, and some man walked up to us and started watching. Next thing I know, he started telling the girl how to properly play, which I was fine with because he was only teaching her. But then all of the sudden he takes all my pieces except my king and places her in a position so that all she had to do was move in one place and I'd be in check mate. And he was all "go ahead and finish her off" and I was like O_o WHAT?! So yah, she kicked my butt and he started congradulating her saying she was such a good player, and then he was saying I should've been more careful where I placed my pieces. I was so tempted to yell at him "Well I wouldn't have lost if SOMEBODY didn't move all my pieces" but I didn't. I was mad cuz I'm not all that good at chess to begin with so a victory for me is rare. But man was that old man annoying! It's kinda funny tho cuz neither me or the girl had any idea who he was. Strange...
ORO!

Whooo...I submitted yet another drawing. It's for a contest. Sadly, I think I'm the first and only one to enter. Shame, I wanted some competition. These contests are a good way to test my drawing skills and see where I need improvement. (although I already know my proportions need some major work T_T )
My next project is Klarth. I'm going to draw a chibi picture of him, then I'm going to start my Tales comics. And, of course, he'll be the star of the first one. His attack really through me off guard XD Ya gotta love him.
In the meantime, I'm taking requests, especially Tales of Phantasia ones. Speaking of which I'll also try my hand at Brambert while I'm at it. He's such a pretty elf boy.
In other news, I got a tablet XD My friend is lending it to me and I can't wait to try it!! She also let me borrow a manga toning disc for the RSOM contest! SHE'S AWSOME!!!!!! I can't wait to try it out ^_____^ *whistles merrily*
And just because I'm bored: what's your fav manga artist (if you don't know their name, just state the manga) and why?
Personally, I like CLAMP, Nobuhiro Watsuki (Rurouni Kenshin), and Eiichiro Oda (One Piece).
I like Clamp because...well....their art is amazing and the outfits are awsome. They're an awsome manga team. I like Watsuki cuz....I like his style art ^_^" I dunno. And I like Eiichiro Oda cuz his stuff is unique. Wierd, but unique(and funny). I also like the guy who drew Ah My Goddess because I really enjoy his character designs in Tales of Symphonia and Phantasia. Although he does tend to go overboard with details -_-" drawing his characters are hard for me. And that is that.
CHEESE!

Dhaos is DONE!!!
That's right! I finished drawing the evil king and all his flowy hair! Now on to Klarth.....if I can find a good reference pic of him. Then next I think I'll try my hand at Mint. Either that or Brambert cuz I found a picture of him and I'm dying to draw the elf. His character design is pretty. I'm going to draw Arche last. I lost some of my respect for her because of what she said at the unicorn scene. I mean, I'm pretty sure I know why that unicorn refuses to see her, and it disappoints me.

I'm starting to feel a lot better now. I'm almost done recovering from my surgery, so it's all good. I'm still lost when it comes to making a fanfiction...oh where to begin...perhaps I'll start out with mini-comics and see where I go from there. I'm more visual anyways.

In meaningless news: I love Klarth's expression in the last youtube movie I put up. It's hilarious.

.........I really can't think of anything else to say, but if you have any ideas for my mini comic Tales of Phantasia series I'd be happy to read them. As long as there aren't any spoilers cuz I haven't beat the game yet. I just beat the Temple of Fenrir. Does Suzu just automatically join the team eventually or do you have to find her? Just answer yes or no to that if you know the answer because I just want to know.

Well, that's about it. I'll try and submit more art as soon as I can, but be patient with me. I'm still trying to fix my proportional issues. T_T I keep enlongating my ppl's bodies!

Bye!

Glitches
Have you ever been playing a game when you accidentaly stumbled across a glitch in it? I was playing Tales of Phantasia (big surprise by now) and I ran across a glitch. It was a creepy glitch, actually. It was a scenerio where the whole group talks, and I noticed that someone didn't look right. Shrugging it off since I really couldn't see it right, I continued with the conversation. Then it happened again. They had another conversation and in Cress's place was a freaky old guy. O_O I'm starting to wonder if that was purposely done. Wierd...

Well, in other news, I almost finished drawing Dhaos. Right now I'm drawing his clothes and darkening his wonderful flowy hair....I keep losing track of the strands in it. After Dhaos I'm thinking of attempting Klarth. Or Claus. Why did they have to change his name?! It's confusing....Lately I've been in the mood to read fanfiction on Tales of Phantasia. Sadly there don't seem to be many, let alone ones with my fav character Chester. Makes me kinda sad...perhaps I need to write fanfiction next? Haha...too bad I'm horrible at fanfiction XD Oh well!

Orochi-moshi-moshi!
(I love that, Mokusei!)

Today's movie features: KLARTH F. LESTER! The first few seconds are funny, but it does contain spoilers. Not major ones but yah, just thought I'd warn you.
