2k14 sum: app art and no other art of said character, seraphies, and cuties ♥ I feel really good about this year, and I feel like I’m ending 2k14 on a good note, art-wise haha. I adventured a lot, which is what I really love about art, that you don’t have to be consistent; have fun, really play around with styles, find what’s good to you, you don’t have to stick to one thing to be a self-entitled “Good Artist.” Though I stressed a lot this year, especially from this summer to right now over home life and health issues, so I didn’t really make much art for myself that I like visually. So next year I hope I can do more projects, and actually fulfill my comic, animation, mv, ect ideas and such. Though I did get done with one of my New Year’s Resolutions from last year which was to get off my ass and make something (which I did with the group BorealisRegion, though it’s a bit of a mess right now because I can’t focus on it right now haha) but yeah, to Next Year!me: Draw more comics! Be more social! Try things you haven’t done yet! Draw more, at least something daily!! Finish projects don’t just never finish them because you feel mild accomplishment when you share said ideas but never work on them!! DO BETTER AND NEVER GIVE UP!!!

i'm still not as active as i hoped but here's an art summary lmao

Professor Larix is the regional professor of the Borealis Region and studies astrobiology. Having a fondness of space and the unlimited possibilities it contains his laboratory is split off into an observatory where he can view the stars from the near eternal nights in Situla Town. There he is accompanied by his assistants: Cleffa, Clefairy and Clefable along with another particular creature that rarely shows itself.

Professor Larix performs an unusual practice when dealing with trainers being registered into the region. Instead of providing the trainers with a selection of starters he instead gives trainers a “horoscope reading” through the stars, aligning trainers with their “celestially destined” starters.

[romsensei]

so hey managed to sucker another one of my friends into playing ffxiv and we were looking into making a company for company perks without the commitment (we just wanna dye our chocobos and play house tbh without having to be “hardcore” and focus on the guild so much since we got other things to do) but we’re clearly one man short. if you didn’t see my previous journal i play a lv25 pugilist, Choko Latte on Coeurl so looking for someone who plays on Coeurl or at least would make a temp character on Coeurl for the signature. we don’t mind if you wanna stick around or not, we’re p good ppl, a safe casual place, no kind of bias or general shittiness tolerated, alright players but clearly not the best. just a casual group for casual players. if it’s enticing we’re just p much gay ass furry weeaboos, nothin in the least intimidating. so yeah, LOOKING FOR A THIRD COMPANY SIGNATURE ON THE COEURL WORLD, ADD Choko Latte OR CONTACT ME HERE IF INTERESTED OR W/E

[teamgrandiloquent]

if you've been wondering where i've been i've been playing ffxiv lol

kitensa replied to your post:[[MOR]man ngl it really irks me when ppl compare...

The worst part is that it has actually gotten to Sunny and co a few times and they’ve gotten quite down about it too. It’s fine when people have genuine critique and advice and such, but when it’s just a whole bunch of people whining… yeah.

i don't fuckin doubt it, i know it would to me when i'm dealing with the stress of my own home life and then busting my ass over some group for free for other people to deal with a new petition every other week calling you a ~horrible person for having problems you can't do anything about and how you'll never be as great as PK~ with hundreds of notes like jfc my heart goes out to them

[milkkum]

so after beating my bug monorun on x i wanted to start over and do a nuzlocke game where the same kinda rules apply but you wondertrade the pkmn you catch. and it’s so fun lemme tell you friend like playing with a randomizer, and there’s like there’s just a closer attachment to me when i receive a pkmn from a trade, which is why it’s gonna hurt like a bitch if any of them die :’)

so to make the personal attachment deeper i gijinka-fied em. my team so far is:

Hinyala, [ENG] froakie♂, lv 11 : my starter, he’s a quirky nin nin that i adore that’s a lil clumsy but he likes making ppl laugh even if he’s got a stoic face.

Volbeat (Romario), [SPA] volbeat♂, lv 13 : a romanticist that’s never been in love, a pretty deep musician who excels at spanish guitar (a weakness of mine).

マルマイン (Richter), [JPN] electrode, lv 38 : the wildest member of the team, and ex-con that does what he wants when he wants. (i got him from a german player even though his origins are japanese so i like to think he’s half-and-half haha)

[teamgrandiloquent]

like for me, i don't even know why they try to do shit for ya'll when you constantly spit in their faces over it. like i can really have empathy for the staff bc shit fuckin happens it's not like they planned anything to turn out as it's been. like with sundance and his family and tech issues, i feel that shit, i'm almost 20 and i have to take care of my disabled mother and grandmother bc they're in and out of the hospital every other month and i'm the only family member they can rely on. my life revolves around them more than it does me and my "adult" life hasn't even started. and it's fucking frustrating to the point of tears bc i can't be free to do whatever i want like most ppl, i can't leave home and be independent because if i do what's going to happen in the case of an emergency? and there's not like there's anything you can do, life is just fuckin inconvenient like that way to where you have problems and complications but it's out of your control and all you can do is grit and bare with it day to day.

and then with all of that anxiety and stress and depression to come online to escape it by working on something fun and creative with no benefit to you other than your own pleasure and the enjoyment in creating a world for others and then to have an ungrateful audience yell at you with bullshit like "wELL IT'S NONE OF MY BUSINESS NOR DO I HAVE ANY IDEA HOW THIS WORKS FIRST HAND OR THE MAGNITUDE OF SUCH A LARGE PROJECT BUT WHY CAN'T YOU FIX THAT THING YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT?? IT'S NOT FUN FOR ME"

like i know a lot of ya'll are kids, still in school, what have you, so the world's a lot more productive than you're used to and you have a lot of 'free time' you'd like to be spent in something you love before it's time for bed cuz ya got somewhere to be tomorrow, and that's nice but not always the same for others. like with me, i don't mind in the least that pmdu is updating slowly, bc i got other awful time consuming shit going on in my life that at least the pressure to keep up in a recreation activity isn't that bad. because i understand where the staff is coming from, the key phrase is 'SHIT HAPPENS' and it doesn't magically solve itself quickly and efficiently, so even if it feels like nothing is being done about it to YOU does not mean you know anything about what the one with the actual problem is doing to fix it.

so it's just very annoying to see ppl that claim to understand and love PUBLICALLY TAG IN THE TAG, THAT EVERYONE USES to show their little vents and what have you about how much they hate the group and how slow it is and their threats to leave if someone doesn't remind them why they want to stay (that's emotional manipulation btw and makes you really shitty in general). like fuckin keep ya goddamn negativity out of the tag cuz it ain't makin them work any faster on it. would you like it if someone wrote a nasty post about you and then put it in your tag and then get all defensive when you respond to it like "oh deedumdum it was a personal post i didn't intend for you to read it i'm just venting about my personal opinion on the matter sheesh" like does that motivate you to wanna try harder for strangers' sakes?? goddamn, i hope the group updates even slower bc of some of ya'll cuz jfc ya'll don't deserve it

A piece of advice for all my followers: u da best Never stop doing you, work hard for yourself not for anyone else like you’ve got something to prove. Even if you hate what you’re doing now, keep going, you’re not going to get any better saying ‘i’ll wait to do that when i’m better’ because without trying you’re sittin in the same goddamn place you were last year or the year before. Make challenges for yourself, don’t get stuck in a rut or routine, don’t be afraid to suck bc you will suck and then you’ll slowly suck less and less and you’ll forget why you ever doubted yourself when you come out on top. Stop trying to compare yourself to other people in a negative view, because you’re two unique individuals and you’ll never be the same. And lastly, be kind to ya fuckin self, you deserve the best. Treat ya self like you’re the shit and you know it, stop beating up on yourself bc at the end of the day you only got ya self. Take breaks, give yourself rewards for getting through things and powering through yet another day, treat yourself the way you want to be treated. You deserve it, you really do.

succumb-to-wanderlust replied to your post:succumb-to-wanderlust replied to your photo:i’m...

I apologize, but I have no idea how to use the site in general uhm..h-how would you do that? : ’ D

ah i just meant a link to your profile on tumblr but oh well got you added now! and here's a tutorial to show you how to get around and draw it's really fun like tegaki or drawing rooms if you've ever used those. but i really like it more bc better blending and you can actually watch other artists draw their images once they're posted so like, free speedpaints from cool ppl you admire but maybe not be able to speak to because of language barriers.

though from my experience everyone's pretty nice and will often make an effort to speak to you in english if they can (and it makes me feel bad bc my japanese level is barely elementary lmaoo more like enough to get you through a business trip until the translator arrives)

I added you! My name’s mixedmelodies on there. ouo

The somewhat young Tepig stares at the Feebas, nerved by his eyes. She fumbles a bit before lowering her gaze, her long ears flopping down to cover her eyes..was this too rude of a question? "Uhm..m-mr fish, how are you able to survive on land..d-don't you need to be in water to live?"

"Eh?" With a voice so timid Belial barely heard it, passing it off for cognitive static. His eyes however scanned the nervous piglet as she fumbled with her question. He silently blinked, quiet for a spell afterwards like he was calibrating to the situation. A weak smirk emerged on his plump mouth. "Ahh, that's a good question young lady," he 'swam' a bit closer, elevating himself to eye level with her.

"You could say I... adapted." He strung on a thoughtful look as if he himself were puzzled as well, resting a fin on his chin as he scrunched his brow. "Maybe it was a product of my environment: I do have ancient dragon's blood in my veins. Or maybe I'm just special. It's like they say," his eye flashed a coldness in them that his smile failed to repress. "When faced with adversity, a superior being evolves while others go extinct."

The Feebas could only estimate that the girl was young and didn't want to overstimulate her if she couldn't keep up -- from the looks of it he could topple her over with one blow of his breath. "Say, young miss, do you wanna see a trick?"

Chel: Staring intensely at Koba's fur while holding on to a book tightly under his arm and nervously asks, "E-Excuse me, you're a noibat, correct?"

Koba was getting sloppy. Being with Chifuya was rusting his skills of thievery, trying to instill the benefits of "a day's worth of hard work makes a meal taste sweeter" or some other bullshit. Which was easy say when he was still a poor unemployed geezer with no resourceful jobs. Though maybe it wasn't too bad for Koba, as long as Chifuya ate Koba could just feed off him. But it was more of as a last resort; Chifuya's blood made him act weird, probably a byproduct of all of that damned liquor.

So his finickiness lead him back to his roots, which seemed to end with him being caught after swiping that apple from a vendor. "Ah--" his jaw hung frozen in complete shock at being discovered. But this kid didn't seem too upset with him, maybe he could play his cards right he could walking out this with a full stomach and no consequences. "Y-yeah I am, what about it?"

[teamgrandiloquent]

//Ahh, did my Tepig ask not go through about asking Belial how he swam/survived on land? D: I thought I sent it; stupid Tumblr //

ooc -- yeah no my askbox is empty, and it's weird too bc i never know if anyone's sent anything or tumblr eats it, so try again??  _(:3 」∠)_
