I really hope people read this.

darn it, I know people might be mad at me but I"M CHANGING ACCOUNTS.

It seems I made this account in 2005 (swear I don't remember) and early this year when I decided to make an account I found I already had a username. so I used it. but I don't like it. I didn't want to move because I've gotten to meet some really cool artists with this account, but better now than later.


All my work will be now at this account -

I've already gone through the trouble of moving all my favorites there already.

thanks everyone

so I think I'm finally getting over my romantic mood.
For those who like my couple paintings, no worries I've got a quite a few started that need to get finished anyways.
Right now though I'm itching to do something with more action. Something with a little more grrrrr in it.

I'm thinking of doing something for bleach though, cause those episodes are getting pretty good.

I just realized I don't have any finished paintings with Sasuke in my gallery.
It's his hair damn it! It's such a pain to paint. I could kinda draw it, but figuring out where the roots go and the way the light hits it is hard. there should be "how to paint sasuke's hair" tutorial. I already have 3 paintings that include him though, and they are all 75% finished. Some even a bit closer. (one of them just needs some pants)
I will probably upload one today.

remember that last journal where I said I had two paintings almost finished?
well they are still "almost finished".
I really gotta stop starting new ones and get those done. (but I really wanna start an Itachi one!)

Anything in particular anyone wants to see? It might motivate me a bit.
I need motivation.

before I forget, I thought I'd advertise this wonderful website pixelbrush - [link] You could learn a lot from there, get some honest critique and tips on how to improve.

to everyone (especially those who comment )

I need something good to read, actually I don't need, but I want.

I watched Ouran High School Host Club, cutest anime ever?!

I just finished watching Wolf's Rain, made me cry more than the 7th Harry Potter did.

I can't believe Tobi isn't a good boy! I love it though, the twist is silly in it's own way.

I have to many fan arts started and nothing finished I'm being super lazy.

I need to do more original works.

I've been listening to too many love songs.

I swear I'll be updating soon. I have two pieces that are really close to being done.

I need pocky.

Cool Oekaki website - [link]

So I went to anime-expo, driving every day for all four days. The first day I waited in line for 6 effing hours! and there were people trying to cut in line right in front of us. Well basically an older woman and I told them to beat it. I can't believe none of the tough looking guys around us said anything to those cutters. anyways. . . I think it really was a learning experience. First I learned that I am far from loving anime the way that people who go there do, also I will never ever sign up for four days and volunteer to be the sole driver to such an event. In fact if I ever do go again to such an event I'll probably only do two days max. thankfully thought I heard that next year it will be here in Los Angeles which should make it much easier to attend.
Anywho, I am thinking of attending the San Diego Comic-con. but that one I've been wanting to attend for years. After all I am much more familiar with DC and Marvel characters, I also read plenty of Graphic Novels (Hellblazer ) so I think that would be more fun. And of course I will probably do one or two days only.

ok I started a Naruto portrait (finally!) but I have a question, are the lines on his face scars/birthmarks or whiskers?
gosh I hope they aren't whiskers, thats not very flattering. . .

yes I know, I'm obssesed. I'll probably relax a bit after the Long Beach anime-expo
(I've never been to one!)

also I've been reading the manga and it's so freaking good!
I really don't like Sasuke's new team, but I'm not sure if I really hate Sasuke himself. . .
I really am obsessed.

I promise that I'll post some non fan-art stuff soon.
