Someone broke into my place on thursday and stole my laptop and psp. So now all my artwork and wips and anything else are gone. So if I still owe you art, I'm sorry, but it be a while before I'll be able to really draw again since I'll have to first find a new place where I feel safe... and I'll also have to buy a new computer and find / reinstall all programs. *sigh*

Btw, this also means that I will be on hiatus on DA because my workplace does not allow me to view DA. And I will not have a computer at home.

(currently using my mom's comp. she offered to let me take it back with me, but honestly, i don't want hers to be stolen as well. -_- )

Sorry for the batch upload. Evidently, I don't update here very often, so when I do remember I just go overboard.

Anyways, I'm also too lazy to update you all about my summer. But all in all, it was fun filled, I had a lot of fun going out or staying in with friends, and right now I am literally dreading that work has started.

Also, now that work has started, expect me to be less active. *sigh*

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As expected, for the past few months I still have not reached 10k. But anyways, if someone gets the 10k mark (or whoever is closest to it) will get a freebie from me. Depending on when it gets hit (i.e. summer or when I have work), then I'll decide what to draw.

I got lazy to do a daily update like last year. Anyways, I could only say... OMG I SPENT WAY TOO MUCH. XD But it's all money well spent. I love all my 13+ (yes i lost count) commissions that I bought... one being a full watercolor by and another being a fullbody pencil sketch by . Others include , , and . I want to list all the others that I commissioned, but all the cards that I collected are so unorganized, I have no idea who's who. *sigh* Also, I commissioned 2 from some artists. I also got a freebie from my friend cuz I did some Starbucks runs for her. There were other people that I wanted to commission, but then I didn't notice their commissions until a bit too late, so I wasn't able to commission them. In a way, that's probably good since I really did spend too much already.

On top of art that I bought, I got to meet and , and I had a chance to actually hang out with them like outside of the artist ally. They are awesome people. I totally enjoyed hanging out with them and talk about stuff that's not necessarily art, but of course their art is amazing if you have not seen their art before.

Ok, so I have 2 disappointments from the artist ally.
1) I am in love with and art. But this year zeiva wasn't able to go, so then muhoho-seijin had to manage a table all by herself. Needless to say that means I wasn't able to get art from either artist. I was looking forward to getting art from them again. *sigh* Maybe next year. I did get some prints tho.
2) So I have this Kuroshitsuji fandom thing going on... and I was not able to find a single Sebastian print that captured his essence. I left Fanime without getting a print or poster of him. But I did get a cute bookmark from . Also, I did get 2 awesome prints of Ceil... one by and the other by .

Other people that I saw were:
and more... um, yeah, I think I saw too many people to really list them all.

So literally I spent most of my days in the artist ally. I went into the dealers room a few times, but never stayed long. I bought white / blue cat ears. I wanted the black / lavender one too, but they ran out. *sigh* Maybe next year. Oh and on the first day before artist ally opened, I watched AMV Hell. Not exactly a big fan of it, but I did love one of them where they zoomed in on math problems on the chalkboard and started correcting all the steps. Since I am a math major, that was hilarious for me.

I've concluded that if possible, I'll go to AX next year. But I'll probably give up on it this year cuz considering how much I spent here, I need to start saving up about NOW. XD

Also, like last year, I've concluded I may be better than 2% of the people selling art... But I still don't think my art is actually good enough for RL money. Fake gold and items from avatar sites maybe, but RL money... maybe after my skills improve ten-folds. Well, if I end up sitting at my friends table for hours like I did last year and this year, maybe I'll offer freebies to those people who commission my friend. Nice incentive to buy eh? 2 for a price of one. But I think it really depends on what happens next year.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On another note, I just noticed that I have 9k+ pageviews. I always thought I was at 3k. LOL. Anyways, if someone gets the 10k mark (or whoever is closest to it) will get a freebie from me. Depending on when it gets hit (i.e. summer or when I have work), then I'll decide what to draw.

I am awful... I am piling up so much art to do, but I'm still not done with other people's piccies. Totally sorry to those who are waiting... don't kill me.
(I did knock off a few from the previous list, but then I added way more.

Anyways, here's my to-do-list...

1. Memori's xmas freebie - redoing (priority)
2. Celes' CG Fullbody - add background
3. Megami CG Fullbody - sketched
4. Megami Summer Project - on hold
5. Chenali's xmas freebie - coloring (priority)
6. Nuna's OC Maura - 0%
7. Art for banner to set up solia shop - thinking

and at midnight, I am so positive that I am forgetting people...
Anyways, feel free to remind me if I forgot to put you on my ever so long list.

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!

Ok, I tried my best to get all of them done on time, but I only got 4 as I had other piccies to do too... So, I will try to finish up the rest of the piccies and random gifts that I have in mind for some friends hopefully before the new year.
