Well hot damn it's been a while. I have a new scanner so more drawings should be on their way,
and I also have more ideas for another story...it will be a miracle if I can stick with one long enough to finish it.
Anyway, I'm out of school, and I could rant about it here but I won't. I don't know if
anyone still comes to this site, but I did put together a little photo gallery kinda thing
here. It was mostly intended for my family to see
but if you're interested, have a look-see.
Anyway I think that's about all for now.

Big update today. I've started another story, yay me. I feel pretty good about it, too, though
I think I will add on to the first chapter a little bit. Not sure if I'm happy where it ends.
I have the prologue and first chapter up, here. All I ask is that
if you read it, please for the love of all that is holy SAY something. That's what my shoutbox
is over there for. ^_^
Speaking of shoutboxes, I had to replace it since it crapped out on me. That means I lost my
messages. Boo.

Wow, lack of updates. I know I said I had the game section underway, but I have nothing to show for it.
And I'm starting to work on my story again because of a certain request from a certain friend...
thanks, I really appreciate it! ^_^
Scanner is still being stupid...
And I have several more fanlistings, so check out that section and join a few!
These banner rotation folks haven't been getting back to me...I'll give them another two weeks or so
and then the banners are coming down or being moved.
Not many people are using the shoutbox...come on, folks...Even if you just say 'hi' thats fine. ^_^
Nintendo news...let's just quote it. From Game Informer:
"Introducing … Wii.
As in “we.”
While the code-name “Revolution” expressed our direction, Wii represents the answer.
Wii will break down that wall that separates video game players from everybody else.
Wii will put people more in touch with their games … and each other. But you’re probably asking: What does the name mean?
Wii sounds like “we,” which emphasizes this console is for everyone.
Wii can easily be remembered by people around the world, no matter what language they speak. No confusion. No need to abbreviate. Just Wii.
Wii has a distinctive “ii” spelling that symbolizes both the unique controllers and the image of people gathering to play.
And Wii, as a name and a console, brings something revolutionary to the world of video games that sets it apart from the crowd.
So that’s Wii. But now Nintendo needs you.
Because, it’s really not about you or me.
It’s about Wii.
And together, Wii will change everything."
...Well. I think enough has been said. Genius? Or...not? I suggest reading the entire intervew...
perhaps some research...I sure hope Nintendo knows what it's doing. I love them to pieces and I'd
hate for this to be the way they go out.

All right, well I think I got everything working smoothly as far as Enth is concerened. That sure gave me a
bigger headache than I was expecting.
I have a new drawing, but my scanner decided to crap out on me. Of course.
Many new fanlistings to join, too; and more to come. I have got to stop signing up for these things!
Also, a new affiliate! I really should have put this up sooner. I'm sorry!
Don't forget to say hi in the shoutbox! I love reading messages. ^_^

Things are gonna be a bit wonky for a day or two...or three...I'm converting all my html files
to php so I can use the Enthusiast script. TONS of work, and I aplogize if things aren't working quite right.
It's confusing, but I'll get it done. Wonkiness...
Tuesday, March 21, 2006
Wow, what is this...5 days in a row? o_O Another affiliate, Mania.
I'll probably update more later today...got nothing else to do. ~_^
Monday, March 20, 2006
New affiliate, which also happens to be my first affiliate. Thanks,
Oniyuri.net!
Also I changed the css so the links are only in uppercase when you hover over them. It makes
the site appear a little less...cluttered...I guess. Whatever. Work is beginning on the gaming section,
but nothing is up yet.
Sunday, March 19, 2006
Joined a whole bunch of rotations (links are to the right) and put in applications for more fanlistings.
I'll have my work cut out for me if I only get half of them, but thats okay...not
having a job is driving me nuts. At least I'd have something to do. ^_^
LATER THAT DAY:
Or night...whatever. o_O Anyway I also updated my listings page and divided it into sections, and just
little spring-cleaning type stuff...What? You don't care??
Saturday, March 18, 2006:
I added a page with buttons to link back here with. Want to exchange links?
Friday, March 17, 2006:
Damn...I say I want to update once a week and it's almost a month. *guilty*
Anyway...a new layout, again. It features a pegasus knight from Fire Emblem.
Not sure which game exactly *shame* and I think her name is...Tito? Some fan I am, huh.
Heh. Well anyway, the old one just wasn't working unless you have a fast
connection. It was a pain because I couldn't even look at my site! Besides, this one is
better in more ways than one...is it just me, or is it easier to read? ~_^
So, two new drawings in the gallery area. Too lazy to link them. Also, I now have a tag board!
It's only on this page as of right now, but perhaps that will change.
If you're here, just say hi! No need for a long message, just let me know there are
people coming here. ^_^
Lots of new content to come, including wallpapers and a gaming section. W00t!
I was expecting this to be a rant...oh well. Enjoy the new layout, and drop me a note in
the tag board!
Oh, and a side note. I'm sure half the links in my past posts don't even work now. I know
the pop-ups don't. Maybe I'll fix that later.
Thursday, February 23, 2006:
Well...this is an update I never thought would happen. I have a chapter to add to one of the stories
I'm working on. For those of you who may 'know' the characters, I know I wrote them out-of-character
in this chapter. Don't hassle me about it. If you want to give me some constructive criticism,
what are you waiting for?? I always welcome
emails.
Also, I made it so my stories pop up in..well, pop-ups. So you'll need to enable that handly little feature
if you find you can't open the links. I only did this so they would be easier to read.
Here
is the story; scroll down for the link to chapter one.
More art on the way, no worries.
Saturday, February 18, 2006:
Alright, new layout! ( I TOLD YOU!! And you doubted me...) And a nice rant to go along with it. First things first. I completely
revamped my site...no page was left untouched o_O; and I pray that this font isn't too difficult to read on
this background. I had a hell of a time coming up with something interesting for the layout until I saw
this tutorial.
My thanks to that person for helping me out and breathing some life into this site.
I wanted to step away from iframes, but that was just weird, and it wouldn't have worked too well with
this background. Besides, I like my iframes. Maybe next time I'll try something different.
I added a lot of content, including links (finally) and even the stories I was working on.
Still can't decide if I want to do some blogging though. And the art section is completely different.
I chucked some of the older drawings that I don't like any more but there are still several on my
hitlist to go next.
I still may do some tweaking but all in all I'm pretty happy with how it came out. I just hope it didn't
take you as long to load it as it took me x_X.
HOKAY, enough with the site rant. I love the olympics. Seeing all these people from around the world
coming together is just awesome. In a time where only tragedy seems to bring us together, it's
heartwarming to see the world join and watch the olympic games. It gives me hope that we still do have
a chance for peace.
Possibly my favorite sport is ice skating. I wanted to draw an ice skater since the first olympic
commercials aired, I was just lacking inspiration. Then, Michelle Kwan, hands down my favorite athlete
and skater ever, dropped out of the olympics because of an injury. That was my inspiration. I respect and admire her
so much I felt I should tribute her. So here she is, with
my trademark bad anatomy. I cranked this out in about 4 hours so I know I can do better than that, and I will.
Eventually. *cough*
One thing I've noticed as I get back into drawing is that my horses suck. I can't seem to draw one without
a reference for some reason. So I searched and found a bunch of photos I will draw as practice, and
here is the first. He's supposed to be a dapple grey.
Grey, yes....dapples, not so much. I haven't a clue how to draw dapples. But in all it came out really well
considering I had no confidence in it.
Hokay. Well with my new layout complete (YAY!) I now have more time for drawing, so if anyone visits here
any more, expect constant updates. Hopefully once a week; that's my goal. I do update my
deviantART account more often than this
so you can check there too. It's fucking COLD outside...0 degrees last I checked, I kid you not, and that's
horrible considering I'm used to California weather. So I really have nothing to do besides look for a
job and draw. And laundry. -__-
An idea occurs. Perhaps I will figure out how to enable comments...although that may just depress me.
*thinks* Is it worth it...?
Monday, January 30, 2006:
Wow. Surely no one predicted two updates in one week. Amazing.
Anyway, new art again. Woo. Fullsize it, please. My scanner decided to butcher
this one, too. I'm somewhat proud of this one, although I think there
are a few things wrong with it...her foot being one of them and the size of her head another. It's Titania from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, and also my first
adventure in using blending sticks. Which are my new best friends.
GOOD NEWS EVERYONE! My computer is now blessed with the awesomeness of photoshop. Which means a new layout in the near
future. Hey, two updates in one week, anything can happen!
Also, I now have a DeviantArt account. Everything that is here is
also there, but my scrap pieces that I'm not planning on finishing are there and not here. Under "scraps" if you couldn't figure that one out.
I'm also thinking about using this site as a blog, but I'm debating whether I should do that here in the updates or make a new page for it.
I ramble enough here...I don't want it to be too long.
Well, thats it for now I think.
Friday, January 27, 2006:
Holy crap, an update. Is it a miracle??
Well it's good news bad news time. The good news: I actually have a new drawing to add, and I know I've said this before, but you can
expect to see more in the near future. I decided I don't want my artistic side to go to complete
crap. If anyone even comes here any more. So check back for more updates...
which leads me into our bad news for the day...
My old computer crashed. Crashed and burned. Which means I no longer have the lifeblood that makes this site possible (and fun for me)...
Photoshop. I'm dying to make a new layout but with the crummy programs on my new computer
and no money to go out and get the godsend that is Adobe Photoshop, I can't do too much unless
I spend hours typing HTML.
And since I hate learning new programs that are below photoshop wonderfulness, you'll have
to follow links with no previews of the new art you'll be seeing. That bugs me but I just don't have the patience
to torubleshoot new ways of doing...stuff.
Anyway, enjoy the new drawing that I'm not completely satisfied with.
It's Lloyd from Tales of Symphonia...in his bathing suit! (For those who haven't played the game, it's an outfit
you can aquire and make him wear.) I thought it was cute. I wish I hadn't shaded it, though, because now it's
hard to go back and fix all those things I see wrong with it. Oh well.
Monday, June 6, 2005:
I finally changed hosts. It was such a pain in the ass; hopefully it was worth it. So for a while things might
be a little crazy until I get settled in but that shouldn't take too long. If a link is on the fritz please let me know.
The guestbook isn't working right now because of the server change but hopefully I will get that fixed soon.
The layout is a little crazy and not how I want it but I hope to get that done pretty soon too.
