Well, it's official. I have decided to open myself up for commissions. With any luck it'll catch on!

I need some new art software, to be honest, and any bits and pieces of money I can get my hands on will help. I don't have my copy of Photoshop CS2 to load onto the new lappy, which would really be convenient considering how much my brother has taken over the desktop, and I'd really like to expand into programs such as Corel Painter and openCanvas, and even to combine the effects for even better images than I've been able to create up until now. The problems is that the money just isn't there to allow me to do so. The best solution? Get paid for my art, what else??

I still have access to Photoshop, so it's not a devastating experience, and any digital commission can still be done. I'd just like to do that and more on the laptop someday, so:

5)The finished product will be sent to you as a 300dpi JPEG file.

W00T!!!! Totally having a birthday. It rocks to be me so absolutely hardcore. I am typing to you now on a spankin' new Lappy (it's a Dell), a gift from my lovey. Can't do any art on it yet as Vista is resisting my Photoshop (yet doesn't have compatibility issues with the version), and the internet is sketchy sometimes, but it's totally workable.

I have no idea what the rest of the month will bring, because to be honest my birthday usually seems to drag on for the whole month. It's kind of out there all by itself compared to the rest of my family (crammed just about every week from February 28 - March 15), so there's no rush to end one and transition into another like there is at the beginning of each year. It means I usually don't actually have a huge celebration where everything happens. It's more like a gift here, let's go get this there, family get together for cake and prezzies, a movie later on (Wall-E, woo!), friends get together next week. It's very casual and most definitely makes me feel like the center of the universe.

I AM hoping to get a book on CSS code. I'm designing the page layout for Eleasia (see below) and there's a lot I WANT to do, but can't find the proper resources by skipping around the internet. There's also a plan for a site to sell my own prints with options for frames, but there's a ton I need to know before I can pull it together.

But yeah. I'm happy. ^_^

I'm not entirely sure I'm happy with the new lay out. A lot of things seem more convenient, like being able to reply to comments right in the message archive, but it just seems a little counter intuitive in other ways. They still have the Daily Deviations, and Popular and all of that, but it's not right up front any more. I get and appreciate that they've dedicated more space to the people posting right when you view the page to give them a better spot light, but seems the others get less general traffic exposure at the same time. Sooooooo, I'm as yet undecided, but I suppose we'll all have to cope with it till a new version is made anyway.

Kiriban goes to Mimi, which I expected.

Well, here we are. I've received no notice from anyone bearing proof that they're my 3000th viewer, and I must have JUST missed them as I turned out to be my own 3002nd.

So KIRIBAN UP FOR GRABS! Comment on this journal first and receive your custom art.

If someone does end up claiming the actual kiriban then I'll simply do two pieces. Just be willing to be patient. ^_^

Comment away, my friends.

KIRIBAN 3,000

So close, so close! Pay attention, it just might be you!

As we approach the 3,000th page view mark I have taken it upon myself to do my first kiriban, and with that I shall give unto the one who may prove that they are the kiriban holder an image of their choice! Huzzah!!

Take a screen shot of my page proving you are my 3,000th viewer and send it to me with a description of the image you would like to see by my hand, all for you. Double huzzah-huzzah!

Specify if you'd like a background or not, if yes, we may have to negotiate the details a bit.

If for any reason you wish not to claim the Kiriban (which will not only be the image itself, but a print sent to you as well, for you to have and to hold forever as you both shall wish), for whatever reason, then I'm going to put it up for whomever comments on my strictly KIRIBAN journal entry first.

I shall make a journal entry the moment I see that we've passed the 3,000 page view mark, title it KIRIBAN UP FOR GRABS! and whomever happens to comment on THAT entry first wins the big prize.

We're getting very, very close here folks, so pay attention to the page when you click on it!

Well, that's all from me! Good luck!

It's true!

Holy cow! I've been featured!

An article about Unusual Cultures, my deviation Marque of the Anguisette v.2 right up at the top of the article, even! How cool is that, seriously. I'm all blown away by it.

Now, from what I can see the deviation itself fits the idea of the article, but if you've ever read Jaqueline Carey's Kushiel's Legacy series you'd know that the marque, or "tattoo" itself has nothing to do with the cultures in question in the article, not by a long shot, but really a feature is a feature at this point, and if it gets the picture more hits, and through that to me then I see nothing wrong with the whole thing.

I'VE BEEN FEATURED!! YAY!!!

Made Up Names


1. WITNESS PROTECTION NAME: (mother & father's middle name)
Marie James

(Yeah, that works well. Daddy goes by Jim so often though that for a while there I forgot his first name isn't James, it's Richard, and that his middle name isn't also Richard)


2. NASCAR NAME: (first name of your mother's dad, father's dad)
Tom Paul, or Tom Poncho, or Tom "Poncho" Paul

(Take your pick. I'm sure Tom is short for Thomasina or something)


3. STAR WARS NAMEthe first 3 letters of your last name, first 2 letters of your first name)
Monla

(Eh. I could really leave it more than take it.)

4. DETECTIVE NAME: (favorite color, favorite animal)
Azure Tigress


(Now THAT I can live with)

5. SOAP OPERA NAME: (middle name, city where you were born)
Alida San Diego

(Cause that sounds remotely dramatic)


6. SUPERHERO NAME: (2nd fav color, fav drink, add "THE" to the beginning)
The Deep Red Water

(I'm an environmentalist willing to do whatever it takes to save the planet, no matter how much blood I spill on the way. That should please Amy.)


7. FLY NAME: (first 2 letters of 1st name, last 2 letters of your last name)
Lana

(I'm going to assume this is like "fly boys", the guys in planes from WWI there abouts, or it just really makes no sense to me at all. Fix this, someone. Lana's not bad though, huh?)

8. GANGSTA NAME: (fav ice cream flavor, fav cookie)
Vanilla Oreo

(How you can make a viable Gangsta name from that, I don't know. It'd probably actually be more like: VaNil'ah O-RE-Oh. I'd rather have a mobster name.)


9. ROCK STAR NAME: (current pets name, current street name)
Jasmine Westwood

(Very liveable, but not so much hardcore.)


10. STRIPPER NAME: (name of your fav perfume/cologne, fav candy)
Snow Queen MilkyWay

(I don't think that actually works)

11. PORN NAME: (1st pet, street you grew up on)
Token Dan

(Uh . . . no.)
