Ok, here's the low down on things.

I moved in with my mom at her boyfriend's, but we've no internet until the first of the month at the most, when he switchs his TV provider. So I could be back in a week or so, or not until I get back to indiana, which would be somewhere near the end of January/early February, but when I do, my internet will be limited to the weekends, since I wouldn't be near my computer.

But luckly my mom's boyfriend has a daughter down the street that is letting me use her comp to write this. I'll be keeping an eye on my pageview count for the next few days if possible, since I have my 25,000 pageview drawing finished. So we'll just have to wait things out for now.

Need your Opinions

Ok, as you all know, I now have my tablet. However, it has different coloring options, and I'd like to know how you all think my work should be done in.

As you see from S.F. MegaMan: Star Blazer Mode, it was done with the color pencil option. The only problem with this style of coloring is the tablet's pressure sensitivity, making some areas darker and some lighter.

Now for Lovers, I started the hair with the color pencil option, but I had to use the paint option for Geo and Sonia's skin. Now there are two ways I can use the paint.

One, I color them in by hand with my tablet pen carefully.

Or two, I use the paintcan app and it colors them in automatically, but leaves small white specks, which quite frankly annoy me, but :iconrotacon: says he uses the paintcan, and slowly fills the white specks in with the paintbrush app, so I can give that a shot.

But if you think i should try to improve with the color pencils, I can try that too.

But yea, I'd really like the opinions of those who watch me, reguardless of what my art looks like to them. I guess thats what really counts, but I'd also like it if they wouldn't mind helping me improve, but thats up to them.

Anyhow, I'm going to try and enter :iconrockmiyabi: 's V-day contest, and even though I don't want to, I may have to draw a picture relating to a future Star Lovers idea I have. Contest doesn't end until Valentine's Day, so I have time to figure it out.

Also, sometime after Christmas, there's a 50/50 chance I might not have internet access, since we're moving into my mom's boyfriend's house. I'll see if my computer can pick up a wireless signal with its attenna, if not, we'll try to get internet up there, but if it comes down to that, I won't be back until sometime in the begining of February when my mom gets her taxes, and I move back to Indiana, but I'd only be on during the weekends, since my cousin won't have internet, and my computer will be at my grandmother's. So I'll stay at her place one weekend, and my best friend's the next. plus there are breaks from school to look forward too. Good thing this is my last year of school, let's just hope I pass so I don't have to endure that hell again.

Plus if I end up with no internet, it'll give me time to finish Mistake, and work on my videos before I can upload them. (Can't right now due to slow-@$$ connection) I still need to edit the last part of Sora's story in Chain of Memories, and Reverse/Rebirth hasn't begun recording yet.

I'll try to have Mistake updated once finals are over today. I still need to write up the special christmas fic I have planned.

Well.....

it looks like i've come to the end of the line in my artist life.

It's time I faced the faces that my art never will get better. I mean hell, i've been drawing the same way for 7 years, so no chance of improving. I've tried. Turns out the tablet was a waste. 70 bucks right down the drain. I could have used that cash toward a DSi. Now I've jepardized my Shiny Pichu mission. My art looks like paper cutouts every single time. Now I need 170 bucks to get me a DSi before the Toys R Us pichu event, only problem is I don't know when Nintendo will host it.

Besides, I've only a small group of people watching me. Not like anyone would miss my art, right?

Well, I always could sell the tablet on Ebay. Wouldn't fetch much though.

Change of plans - Tablet this weekend

My grandmother is buying me a tablet this week, so I should be getting it soon. So hopefully my art will look better than what I use. I looked it up and mines coming with Corel Painter 4 Essentials.

I nearly had a crisis this past month, just a lot of pressure, making me think people hated me and I wanted to leave. Mostly :iconrocknote: and :iconnajwah-namine: because i thought they were ignoring the art I posted and that i put effort into them, but that was just me. My mind is somewhat of an odd mess due to my asperger syndrome, a form of autism, and I'll admit, it makes me wacky and jumping to conclusions, I just hope everyone can forgive me.

Another reason I've been losing it was because of my art. I truly love drawing and have been trying to draw my OCs for Star lovers, but the main point is I'm sick of using paper, pencil and sharpies. Whenever I screw up using a sharpie, I waste paper, and at times it smears on me, ruining the entire drawing. Same scenario happens with the lead of pencils. So come late january, I should have a tablet for my computer, so I wont need to fiddle with paper anymore. And the way I color my current art with paint.Net leaves white areas at times and that just really bugs me. So hopefully you can expect better quality coloring, and hopefully i can break this art barrier of mine that prevents me from advancing in my art. As you can see from my new works, its the same style I've been using for the past 6-7 years that somehow I can't surpass.

Once again, I'm sorry for putting my friends through this hell of mine. I honestly cant understand how they're able to stand me at all.

Star Lovers 3 is almost done, but as for why the final chapter isn't here yet, well let's just say Modern Warfare Reflex is more addicting than I thought.

Also, I'm also planning on working on a christmas fic once SL3 is out of the way, and I'll get back to work on Mistake, as I've had a lot of people hounding me to update it. Guess they won't read SL3 until Mistake is updated. least that's what I'm figuring.

Enjoy your thanksgiving, and get ready to take an RPG and shoot the red SOB in a sleigh out of the sky!

Also, anyone that has Modern Warfare Reflex, let me know and I'll gladly shoot things with you.

Well I have my internet hook up now so I'm back to working on Star Lovers, and as you've seen so far, new art.

At the moment, we have the slowest connection available thats use for casual internet surfing, which means I can't upload any of my new videos. I already have 5 gigs worth of videos for half of Sora's part in Chain of Memories, so hopefully I can update to a higher version. If not, I'm going back to Indiana for sure.

As for 358/2 Days, I absolutly love it. It took me about 4 days to clear the game on standard mode. I would have done it in 2 or 3, but I had school in the way, as well as the times my DS needed to recharge. I got every mission on 100%, and every character for mission mode unlocked, including Sora. As for 2 bosses I've hated in the game, the award goes to LeechGrave and Dustflier. Dustflier killed me more times that the LeechGrave did. Overall, I had fun, and I've already begun Proud Mode.

While I'm working on Proud Mode, alongside with Star Lovers 3, I'm waiting for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Reflex. It'll be a Wii port of Modern Warfare 1 that was on the 360. My friend will be picking up Modern Warfare 2, and since he preordered the Prestige Edition, he's getting an actual pair of working night vision goggles.

As you've seen so far, I've drawn up pics of Clown and Gallant, although it's Gallant's Finalized form, and not his original form, but I'll get around to that once I start on Grave and Sonia's queen form. Drawing Sonia will prove to be a challenge, since i've never drawn a human before, but I'll give it a shot.

Also, i've begun to start the StarLovers club again after its inactivity, and :iconrotacon: will be helping me as well. Also, I'm working on getting my blog and the Star Lovers blog back up as well, so hopefully I can pull it off, as I may be getting a job soon, possibly taking up some of my free time, but I need the cash to handle a few gaming craves I have, which includes getting a black Wii whenever we get it, along with a PS2 and Kingdom Hearts I,II and RE:Chain of Memories. Let's just hope I can work my schedule around all this, so stay tuned as I try to fix things up, and the 6th chapter to Star Lovers 3 will come soon.
