Yeah.

No reason in paticular, but a number of things, mostly personal things, which I won't talk about.

But soon, I'm going to make a very important decicison, a decicision that could protentially change the rest of my life.

Before that, I'm going to make an exqually important decision, I will no long post any pixel art on dA, no emoticons or sprites are anything. Why? Because I don't enjoy it any more.

When I was younger, nothing pleased me more than scribbling away at paint, wether it was working pictures for my stories are putting together little ducks, the experimentation was so unique, so much fun. The excitement of choosing where to put pixels, and seeing if they worked, would compare to nothing. When I came to dA, and made emoticons and sprites, I felt that excitment.

It began to fade, I just didn't enjoy it. And... I'm not really sure what to do.

Someday I'd like to make sprites for games and stuff, but it's not like it used to be. It's surrounded by logic and anatomy, and shading. Choosing which colours go well together, and becoming more picky about outlines.

Hm.

I'm not leaving dA, but I MAY be leaving this account. Just leaving it. I made an alt account a while ago, and to be honest, I prefer it there.

So... thanks I guess. I've spent about two years as an emoticonist, and I loved it, everyone seemed so supportive and I've earned myself two daily devenations.

But I can't keep doing what I no longer enjoy.

I'm going to my alt account. Learn about cartoonists and become well known.

Then I will earn my riches.

...

So... thanks. And bye. I may come back, but I've been trying to write this journal for a week and a half...

<sub>PS. If I'm in your group or something then feel free to remove me. I'm going to stay in most of my groups, in case I come back, but if you only want active members, then... go ahead.

PPS. I may still contact you on my new account of you owe me a picture. In addition, if there's anything in my gallery you want me to bring out of storage, then just ask.

PPPS. I'm not giving out my new username.</sub>

Kid Out

I got my 3DS about... six days ago. I've been playing it on and off for the past week or so, taking breaks partly because I can't play anything for more than an hour, partly because I can't play at all... I've not got any games for it.
I've been working on secret project 368 and new Psychic Ferret comics, and little else. So I'd like to declare a Hiatus until I can get back to... stuff. I won't be online much, but rather on an alternate account. How long, who knows.

My internet is also very, horribly bad. So I wouldn't be online much anyway...

Tuesday, I got my finger caught in the door. It hurt, my skin was sliced and blood was pretty much pouring out, and I think I got a pretty big bruise around it too. There was a finger-shaped hole in the doorframe too.
It was my right index finger.
Yeah, that one. The one you need to hold the pen while you draw. _{unless you're left handed, but let's pass that one.}
It's a bit better, I just took off the plaster and it looks... able to be looked at. I should be able to write a little, I just need a new plaster.

Ahem.

Anyway, the first Psychic Ferret comic yesterday. (Check it out: pf.savagewolf.org/ ). I'm still trying to do a few more things for the website, since I'm now submitting it to stuff like wecomic rankings I need to add an icon.

Not written much in a while. I've not been on dA much, been more interested in playing Pokemon White. I beat it the other day too, it felt so good kicking the elite four's ass (well. Not as much 'kicking ass' as 'struggling professionally' but it felt the same). My favourite moment was when I remembered Liepard would get STAB when I was faced with using two moves exactly the same, both super-effective, one dark-type.

I've been working on a private project, on an alt account. While anyone's free to get all stalker-y and try and find it (though I doubt you would) I won't be giving away what this alt is or what it's called, at least not for a long time. Basically, it gives me some more characters to doodle in class.

Oh, and on the subject of doodling, that reminds me, the first strip of the new Psychic Ferret will be out on Wednesday, I can't wait myself, mostly to see if the website will fall apart when a comic comes up. I'll try and give a reminder nearer the time.

The past two weeks were kinda unusual. I decided I want a 3DS now, because my brother told me the next pokemon games will probably be out on 3DS and I'll be dammed if I have to wait not only for remakes of Ruby and Sapphire, but to get enough money for a 3DS. Also, other games. Yeah, other games would be important.
Actually, I don't even care about the 3D part. I just want other games.
The problem is, it's 120 freaking pounds. 120 pounds I want to get before the end of febuary, or at least before my birthday. I've got... about 55 pounds the now. 20 pounds from my christmas and the rest as a combination of pocket money and money from random chores. I spend most of yesterday trying to work out a 'get rich quick' scheme of how I could get £70 in as soon as possible. My initial plan was to try doing stickers, but deviantART doesn't let you make stickers (it should though, i mean, you can get big fancy canvases, why can't you just get a sheet of printed stickers). I looked at cafepress, by the looks of it it's just like DeviantART, but it seems a tad fancy for a 13-year-old.

So back to square one.

I could try comissions, but I'm barely able to do them for points, let alone money.
However, this thing came up. we have to make a logo for this scottish food thing, and the second place prize is £100 (the first place is £300, but i only need £100). I'm making a few entries, I don't have much hope but as far as art is concerned I'm not a loser. So wish me luck!

And... that's it I suppose. Nothing interesting in my life. Nopey-dopey-doo.
