Finals suck... so I kicked it's ass


HOLY PENCIL SHAVINGS I SURVIVED!


You would not believe the torment I put myself through stressing over finals week. I was so ready to give up, injure myself so I could stay at a hospital, buy a plane ticket to Australia,, praying to the Mountain Dew gods to give us a freak snowstorm so school would be canceled, ANYTHING to get me out of having to sit down and stress over projects. Ugh. Sorry for all of you that follow me on Twitter during my bad day (Monday), I haven't had one of those in a very long time and I needed to whine to someone. Anyhow what's done is done and school has let me run free for 3 weeks! :woohoo:



A-kon this year was interesting as ever. I missed out on most all of it since I had to work all day Thrusday, Friday, and Saturday to get Shadow Lugia done in the hotel: which means I failed my goal of never doing that again. Luckily the entire Legendary group wasn't finished either so we're scheduling it for next year to be super epic. That means I'm bringing Lugia back with me instead of needing to finish a new costume project (but Ani and I will be getting started on our next ones in the meantime). That means I can FINALLY have one year to simply enjoy A-kon. That'll be nice. I'll write up an enitre con report for LiveJournal this week (now that I have time too) Also took some sweet HD footage so I'll be slapping that all over YouTube soon.

Status: Commissions :bulletgreen:Open!:bulletgreen: [link]


I can FINALLY get back to them! I am really sorry for making you all wait another month to get your drawings. Those of you who sent notes but I've yet to respond or put you on the list, I will be organizing and going through all of that and getting it sorted out. If you believe I accidentally skipped over you, send a friendly reminder. Commissions will be pumped out daily now, I want to get at least three a week.






Did I see something in the title about Animation???


Yes yes! I am happy to finally present you guys with another Flash animation masterpiece :3 This project was worked on last quarter (started back in January) and then I didn't finish the final scene in time for the REEL Thing (school's animation competition/film fest) so I said "eh, I'll have all next quarter to work on it, no problem." And I STILL didn't work on it until yesterday. Lawls. But I got to use it for my final project in my other animation class, so it saved my fluffy butt.



Anyhow, it WILL be on DA shortly, I just first wanted to promote it on my Newgrounds account becuase I've never gotten any love on that site before as I have had nothing good enough to deserve it. This is the very first time I have a completed animation: ie, full story, original characters, full coloring, etc. So please support, comment, vote whatever you want over there for now: >>CLICK for animation MADNESS<<





Heads up on my plans during the short summer break: I'm leaving for my annual family vacation to Lake Powell the second week of July for a week. So realistically I have only 2 weeks to spend with you guys. I'll be trying to clear my online messages to get them off my back, I'll be starting to make a bunch of ears, tails, etc. in preparation for my table at Rocky Mountain Fur Con, I'll be having myself a LOST marathon, I'll be sleeping for once, and I'll be doing a few Ustreams (I know you all miss seeing my lovely face).




Expect to FINALLY see more of me around. You have no idea how much I'm looking forward to this break. I've gotten two Bs so far that I know of... just no Fs and we'll be golden huh? Have an awesome one! I've got to get ready for work now. By the way, is anyone else having problems with thumbnails/deviations not loading more than usual? :/ *flees*

I'm having the loading problem. Sometimes there'll be a placeholder rectangle that you can right-click to view the image, or a "download" button that works, but too often I have no way to see the deviation. It's quite frustrating. The ticket I submitted was deemed "solved" since the responder couldn't duplicate the problem.

Can I change what I'm asking for with the ANCIENT LIGHTSABER TRADE? I've got new characters.

Glad finals are over! :la:

Now you can just relax for awhile and not worry about anything. Also, your Shadow Lugia costume was great! I wasn't at Akon, but I saw videos of you. You did an awesome job. :clap:
