Before I go on to my stalker, I wanna give you some actual updates.

So this week I got my first tablet! I'm so happy about it and I love it so much. Seven years of drawing with a mouse are finally over ;-;

This was a really odd week. Ups and downs all over the place. Umm....

Another significant thing that happened is that my sister's dog died. :c

She was so cool. She was a chihuahua wiener dog mix and was only 4 months old. She had these huge ears omg. She was so cool I'm really bummed that she died...Especially for the kids because they got so sad and asdf yeah.

I've also got a new set of characters! Six new characters that I plan on using in a story. I'm thinking of making them like...sky pirates in the future or something, but I don't know if that concept is overdone. Opinions on that?

Now my stalkerlol

Over the past couple of months, some idiot has been spamming my formspring. Usually with some stupid "witty" remark. I guess they got tired of my ignoring them because they decided to make an account dedicated to me. ~twilight-faggot. They also made an email account called twilightfatass@[insertwebistehere].com

Seriously? Do you have nothing better to do with your life? How sad is it that this person spends their time spamming my formspprings and making emails and accounts just for lil' ol' me? "LOLZ YOU HAZ SPARKLE CHARS!!111!!1!ONE". Okay then. I don't see them as sparkle but some people might. You all know how I like to pick on sparkledogs, if I draw sparkleanimals then fine, it just proves I can laugh at myself.

Yeah I'm fat. Who cares? I'm working on getting healthier. Who cares? "LOLZ YER WEBCAM FITS YEW!!11!!". Okay, I may not have the best anatomy around, but it's not necessarily bad (And I certainly don't blame my "style".) But whatever, I strive to grow and learn as an artist. So if you're going to anonymously bash me, why not provide some constructive criticism?

Idk this whole situation just fascinates me.

^{Art Updates}

This one will be based on Wayland. He goes around fighting modern day "demons" (for example, the first strip focuses on him hunting a twilight fan.) So any ideas on what kind of "demons" he can draw, leave a comment please.

Moar refs! The characters I'm using for my new story are already drawn out in ref from on graph paper. I'm going to scan them and probably go over them in flash.

Please enjoy these pieces as much as I have and give the artists some love!:

I feel like an butthole for asking this.

It should usually go the other way around but idk.

I'm tired of seeing my characters in my style all the timelol. And like...

Their references are usually only ever used by me xD

SOOOOOOOOOO

I was wondering if anyone was taking requests?

idc about quality, I just want to see my peeps in different styles. (and once I get unbusy, I will probably draw you giftart because you rock)

So yeah.

ALSO I NEED AN OPINION.

At this point, I have eleven characters (too many)

[link]

But I have so many more spurting into my head and I can't use them all for Miles of smiles and I really don't want to give them away ;-;

soooo

Should I make more characters?

If so, should I make another story or use them for something else? (like what)

and idk...

general opinion on this situation?

PS: Visit my formspring me and the one for my characters and add my new email at senshi-san@live.com

Yeah.....somethin' crossed my mind.

I was wonderin'...

Do any of you know of any programs that are like flash, but are free?

(Like GIMP is kind of a free version of Photoshop.)

I would love to make interactive comics and games and such, so please let me know.

As humans, we crave friendship and a support system. As humans, we provide friendship and a support system. Lately it seems that the media is trying to distort our perspective on what true beauty and what the picture-perfect human really is.

We are always being force-fed ideals, morals, and standards the general public is now being told is the norm. Some people mean well, others are just trying to make a buck.

As a result of this chaotic way of managing things, many of us just don't know who we are or what we should be. Where does that leave us? Who will tell us what to believe?

You will tell yourself what the truth is. Don't be forced to believe anything. Sometimes we just need a reminder that we are beautiful as human beings. Sometimes we want to know that we matter. And sometimes we just want to be heard.
This problem is everywhere. Now on dA, there is a place where can learn to love ourselves. ANOTHER FACKING GROUP??? Yes. But I think that this one will benefit us all and that we all learn from the people that I hope will join the group. This group is a support system, a newsfeed to bring our attention to things, and just a place where we can be our real selves.

Please check out this group and tell your friends about. I want to get positive messages out to everyone. And link me to some other groups that are all about good causes, because I want to affiliate and get a good chain of support groups together.

Okay you guys. So little by little I've been feeling pretty good about my art.

I really feel like your guy's comments and critiques on my work are helping a lot. It's confirming what I am proud of in my work, but you're also giving me great suggestions that I plan on using to further improve my skills.

Really, you guys. You're helping me bunches and I really hope that you all keep commenting on my artworks when you favorite them.

Also I've been feeling kind of crappy about other things. It's almost the anniversary of my brother's death and idk... It's still hard. Also I am positive that the blood test results are gonna be the same as last time. (I feel occasional liver pain so I know what they're looking for is there.)

I've been trying to stay positive so I also have some hope that things are going better. There's a lot more I can talk about, but whatever lol. You guys don't care about that, YOU CARE ABOUT THE ART.

^{Art Updates}

As I've stated, I've been feeling really good about my art lately, and I'm ready and willing to keep growing. Your comments have been helping a lot and I think I'm going to improve bunches from your guy's feedback. Thank you so much but please don't stop doing so xC

On the latest Fun Hazard comic, I've briefly gone over a new style of drawing that I'll be using for all of my comics (except Fun Times). I think it's a very efficient style and I may also do that with my regular pieces.

I'm still unsure as to whether or not to draw a Pokemon Mystery dungeon comic. At this point I'm leaning towards "no", but who knows?

I REALLY need to finish updating my refs so that I can go on to more serious art. The last refs I need to revamp are Twi and Wren. After that I need to draw Wayland's first official ref (I think I'll use his latest traditional image as a base for the lineart for his new ref).

Any ideas for my next piece? (after my commission is done and after the refs are done)

_{Hey! Listen!}

Suggest some art for me to draw (with my characters please)

Don't stop commenting and critiquing my pieces!
