I am SO sorry I haven't been on at all.... This are really hard for me in college at the moment, and I just don't have the mental strength to challenge the 250-odd deviations I now have to look at... I need to stop watching so many active people -_-;

Anyway, I'm not going to get into that. I just wanted you all to know that I'm so sorry I haven't been active... but I promise that I am still sketching away and taking pictures, so there will be updates as soon as stress-levels decrease. I hope you guys haven't given up on me... I probably would have... but I really hope I don't loose any of the good friends I've made here ^^ I miss you guys when I'm not around... I'm just sorry I can't update as often as you. I hope you can forgive me.

Take care, all. I hope to report back soon.

Sorry there has been a lack of activity from me, but currently everything is fucking up in my life. I'm failing my classes, all of them, because I'm too depressed to work or even go to the lessons. I'm not going to get the grades to go to Uni, not that I want to anymore (because I know I wouldn't be able to cope with that either), and I'm left with no future, no skills and no will to live.
It goes without saying that I've been too depressed to draw, scan or touch-up anything I 'have' done - I find I am left with little energy to do anything.
I don't say this to get sympathy, as barely two people read my journals, but rather to chronicle my reasons for not uploading.
In other news, my cat has a cyst on her eye, and had to have it buttoned up after an operation to remove it, which remains to be seen if it worked or not. Because of the meds she needs to take for her eye, she cannot take her arthritis meds, so she is stiffening up, and for a while now I've been feeling like she is going to die soon, to the point of checking to see if she's breathing when she's curled up. So far so good.

I can't cope with life. Since I last came on, I now have 73 new deviations to look at. Great. Believe it or not, I find that very stressful. Pathetic, isn't it?

I'd like to wish a very merry Christmas to all of my watchers, or those who stumble upon my page. I hope you've had a fantastic day, as I have, and a very happy new year!
I may be on before the 31st, but if not then see you in 2009! Take care!!

Yes, finally I have caught up on the last 10 deviations and 15 replies... *points* look, it says 'No Messages'! *laughs hysterically*

So what with that, Facebook and a whole load of shit keeping me busy at home I've only managed to do a little drawing - I finished inking the second character on a page of two of secondary-character concepts for Dirge, which I will upload as soon as they are coloured.

On that note, I'm considering giving up on colouring my pictures completely and just uploading them as B&W line-art, because my colouring sucks that much and delays everything tenfold. What are your thoughts on that?

I would carry on to rant about my father at this point, but I just can't be bothered any more... I can't deal with things at college -or- at home. *sigh* Well, thanks for reading! I should be quite prompt with my comments on new deviations and journals now, so expect to hear a little more from me from now on.
Take care!

So, I've been trying to catch up on all the Deviations I've missed... I think there were around 140 waiting to be looked at yesterday. Got that down to 120-something, which went up by ten today, but now I've got it down to 57. It's tiring work, as I like to comment on most peoples pictures, which makes it very time consuming...
Still, I do it because I genuinely want to see all your pictures, because I love you so.

Many of my favourites have been by , who is more awesome than I care to mention. Taking a detour away from my normal haunt of anime art, Ash creates unique and innovative clothing, each one a testament to her incredible creativity. I highly recommend you go visit her... right now!

In terms of my art I haven't been able to do anything for a while now, due to college work, stress and catching up on other things - like deviations. Things are very stressful for me right now, so I really apologise for being so sparse with my work and so infrequently online.
Many drawings are WIP, waiting to be inked or coloured. The most recent picture I drew was Kenji Umehara's ([link]) Hollow form. It's all inked and just waiting for some colour... I'll try to get around to that as soon as possible! As well as uploading some of my Photography project's pictures.

So, I shall continue to catch up on the deviations (after successfully catching up on the journals! Horrah!) and hopefully upload something interesting for you soon!

Thanks for reading and take care!
