I've a lot planned now that I'm coming back. Things I've wanted to do for a while... Re-drawing and maniping specific older pieces of mine, writing new stories, and working on my novel (yes- there's a new one). Well, all that and gaming, since my new computer is good for that. Yeah, WoW has already sucked me in and I'm only level 14. Welp.

The first two are on hold for another week or two while my laptop[ is in-shop to fix the hinge, which broke forever ago. My laptop has my photoshop, and I can't do a damn thing without it. I have elements, which came with the computer, but I don't know what the differences are yet. I'm going to try and get some photoshop on this computer as well, but we'll see. I miss using my tablet. though. I did a couple sketches in my boyfriend's notebook that I'll probably transfer to digital at some point. On my to-do, I plan to put what art I'll be re-doing,which I'll delete as I go, but will put up a "Kick my own ass" post for each of them... and of course back them up so that I don't lose them for when I kick my own ass again.

And I'm getting back in the swing of writing; It used to come a lot easier, but now my writing is getting shorter and shorter. An old rp buddy has come back to me, and we get to play together again (woo! Guess how long we've been playing together? Since I was doing one-liners in hs, that's how long) which will help, but I'd like to work on my writing solo as well, so I'm going to do a 100 theme challenge for my writing (thinking on it, I might do a totally separate on for my art and another for manips. We'll see.)

There's a couple of things I'd also like to be able to do: code, being one. Journals, Tumblr themes (yes I have a tumblr, no I'm never on it) Gaia themes (yes, I'll be coming back to that as well) etc. This is on a serious backburner. I'd also like to learn different styles of art. I'm working on my own specific style, but I'd like to also learn realism and pixel art. These two are also on backburners.

So, here's my to-do:
-Roleplay (ongoing. Current number of rps: 1 being discussed, none in progress)
-100 theme challenge: sora-horsey.deviantart.com/art… This is the one I am doing for my writing. I'll pick another later for art, and then another for photomanipulation. I'm going to set myself a word minimum, I just don't know how I want to do it yet. we'll see.
-Crossroads -this is my novel. I'm working on an introduction of sorts, but it's a slow process.

Re-working art; The following pieces are on my to-do to re-do. But please, throw me a challenge to re-do something not on this list and I'll consider, For a further challenge, I'll take requests from my watchers for drawing, writing, or manips, but beware: it may take me a while. I'll be re-doing the following:

Door to the other side by thatgirlanalise
I won't so much be re-doing this as doing more with it. I have a couple ideas, but nothing I'm sold on.
Music is life by thatgirlanalise
Oh my god do I hate this piece. Hate it. But it's so popular, I've never been able to bring myself to remove it, so I'll re-do it, and under the same specifications that the contest had. I've always wanted to make it interactive, a flash thing of sorts... Too bad I don't have a program for that. Maybe some day.
Late Secret Santa by thatgirlanalise
So old, and I want to re-draw as a gift.
In Honor of 3000 by thatgirlanalise
My very first drawing of my very first roleplay character. Practically one of my very first drawings published ever.
I also plan to re-color the following:

I've really been out of the art and writing game for a good bit. I guess this is what is called having a life? I'm not sure. I don't like it, though. I have been sketching a lot lately, have a couple of photomanip ideas, and I am determined to write a novel before I turn 30 (that's right, folks, I'm giving myself 9 years to do that last one)

Basically what's in store is new art, re-done art, a cleanup of my not-so-great art (after backing them up) And one of my favorite things ever: Contests!

This will all be happening in the next couple of weeks, so I can't wait to share it with y'all!

What brought on my return was moving out of my parents' house, being able to go back to just one job, and not being able to register for classes.

Money Emergency

4 min read


I recently had my hours cut at work as well as bought a car, had to have some work done on it, and had to pay for my cell phone and rent. Unfortunately, my checks bounced. Fortunately, they were to my parents, and so they are giving me to the end of the month to make up the deficit.

Any help is good. I'm doing 1 dollar comissions: :thumb289194439:

I will also write for you, any short story (or fan fiction, if I know the fandom) of any genre. No holds barred on this one. I will write anything from a kid's story to smut for you. I have very few limits as far as this goes. I'll charge by the word count: every 250 words I'll charge 1 dollar.

The turn-around for the sketches is around 1 hour, unless I otherwise notify you. The writing times will vary depending on how long of a story is requested.

I am also selling the following:
Fruits Basket volumes 1-23, the fan book (cat) and the art book (I would like 110 for it all, including shipping) This has some damage to the covers of the following volumes: 1, 2, 4, and 11. The fan book has all the stickers still in it, and the art book is in Japanese.

I am also selling the Twilight Saga, 35 dollars, shipping included. Twilight and New Moon are paperback, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn are  hardcover. These are like new.

Finally, I am willing to make my own prints of anything in my print gallery for you and have it shipped to you. Priced by size and distance shipped. Send me a note for more information.

Oh my goodness, I love it so much. I've just had photoshop open and just been writing. The pressure sensitivity stuff has me in awe. I could just sit and do this all day

And that means I will have more and more and more drawings coming up as I get used to it.
