Tomorrow there will be........tutorials. I promise. I made them. They are in a folder on my computer waiting to be revealed. They are kinda ugly. x__x I just need to put them on Canva or something and make them look fabulous and all on one page or whatever.....Also, hopefully, maybe, possibly Underworld (at last). Because I am scared that it will reveal everything too soon and everyone will be like LOLLLLLLL! Also this part was like having super duper constipation. I could not write anything for so long at this stage in the book because I was too busy writing all the terrible stuff at the end (and :iconSilverblaze567:'s character doing stuff). Terrible stuff like: people getting run over by speeders, Ty pranking a small child and possibly traumatizing them for life, Cody wanting to punch Rex in the facehole, and so on and so forth......

Also....tomorrow...Solas being stabbed. I look forward to this only because his face is awesome. I need more faces like that face. That face is like "Uhhh, I'm being stabbed, nuuu!" (mild annoyance). Hopefully Solas being stabbed will be the last of the drawings I did at college like a lifetime ago when live was still mostly kinda awesome (though it is still awesome). I've worked on a request all the time and finally think it's close to being done. I stopped and restarted it forever and powered on via concoction of earl grey and 'Droptek-Boundaries'. I want to upload that tomorrow too but my parents are home which means they will want me to do a whole bunch of stuff and things like "Why are you doing that? Get off the computer!" will happen and make me feel  like a guilty 5 year old. I need sleeps. .____.

Much loves and hugs for everyone! Hope everyone is enjoying the pumpkinspice season! <3

1.Poultry,beef,or fish? Any specific reason why? 
For eating (I'm guessing)? I actually rarely eat meat any more. I'm like a 'mostly vegitarian'. I do eat like summer sausage and homemade meatballs (basically eggs and beef and onions ) from time to time and like those pretty well. Meatballs remind me of sweet-and-sour meatball....goop. Which sounds disgusting (and looks rather...um...yeeeahhh) but as Daniel says, "Tastes like.... food."

2.Microsoft or Sony? Why?
I'm not sure exactly what this is differentiating between: games? Platforms? Movies? I guess I use a lot of Microsoft programs so I guess they're ok. :shysmile: 

3. Did you ever have any paranormal experiences? Care to elaborate? 
No, though as an adolescent I used to have the worst fear of some of the rooms in my house. Like there was something in the walls.....something that was going to fall out on me. I ran up the stairs (good exercise! ) of my house for probably 10 years of my life. I think when I stopped believing in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny (sorry guys), and ultra-powerful-omnipresent-beings-who-supposedly-made-everything I stopped being so afraid. Not dismissing those who have felt that they've seen ghosts, etc. I have a few family members who believe in ghosts. 

4. What's your favorite genre of music?
Soundtracks. Hands down. I grew up with John Williams' music on my little portable cd player and before that a little cd/cassette player (holy smokes I'm old ). 

5. Did you have a favorite pet at one time? If not an animal owner then maybe a favorite thing you value?
I used to have this sassy old hen named Charlotte who was one of the greatest friends I've ever had. I cannot tell you how many times I've sobbed into her feathers. ;w; Chickens are very huggable, if you're wondering. 

6. Are you a horror movie person or a adventure/sci-fi movie person? 
I am terrible with horror movies. Zombies will literally make me lose sleep because they creep me out, or the 'scariness' just doesn't effect me at all. I'll be like, "Why would they go into a house like that?" "I'd just blow up that stupid place and be done with it." "So the ghost couldn't follow them once they escaped the forest? Wha? Just have a sign saying 'Danger ghost will attack you beyond this point'." Definitely more of a fantasy/adventure/sci fi person then....But then again, I'm pretty terrible with any movie that doesn't make me think about some moral problem or another. I'm weird.

7. If you could travel anywhere in the world where would it be and why? 
New Zealand. Antartica. Basically any place that is full of nature. :3 Tips: If you like the scenery in Dragon Age Inquisition, Naboo, and Skyrim you should check out Acadia National Forest (US), the coast of Quebec (Canada), and Amnicon Falls (US). Very nice places that cost basically nothing to get into (11 usd for Amnicon Falls).

8. Do believe that dragons existed at one time or another? (I mean dinos did so why not dragons?) 
That is a good question. I'm not sure. Pterodactyls and Quetzalcoatl existed and those are both really large, flying creatures. And those massive eagles that existed in the Ice Age or something. Perhaps they were dragons in their own right..

9. If you could have a spirit animal what would yours be? 
Ugh. I have no idea. Probably a cat or a chicken. ;D

10. Do you believe in ghosts or the paranormal? 
Not really. :l

11. If you found 1,000 dollars on the ground what would you do with it?
Well, if I was at work I'd have to record the time and place it was found and plunk it into the safe. Hope that somebody comes up and says "Well, the darndest thing happened and $1000 just fell out of my butt-pocket." and then I could hand it back. 

12. Do you like to read tangible books or are you all about digital such as NOOKS or Kindles? 
I'm a tangible book person but have no problem with people that read digitally. I just don't really feel I need a nook/kindle and the expenses of that when I can just buy the few books I actually like enough to buy from a used book store. I'm a frugal person.

13. What is your favorite video game of all time? In not a gamer, what is your favorite book, animal, ect? 
Ahhhh! You are killing me. 


Questions for You (whoever wants to answer them, even in comments ;D)!
1) What is your first memory.... Ever.
2) What person has your favorite voice (signer, actor, family member)?
3) When you were a kid, what was your favorite playground game? Include the ridiculous name, if you please (mine was "Dinosaurs at the Tree" ).
4) If you play Minecraft what is the first thing you do when you log into a new world (survival or creative mode)?
5) What color do you find yourself always using in your artwork (mine is orange and grey, I don't know why....0___0)?
6) Who is your favorite member of the Yogscast?
7) Have you ever played D&D before? If so, what was your favorite memory?
8) If you lived on Coruscant what would be your Star Wars-name?
9) What is your favorite Lord of the Rings book (or movie, if you haven't read the book)?
10) Tea or coffee or soda?
11) Do you play more 'realistic' (like Call of Duty or Far Cry), horror (like Day Z or SCP), fantasy, or sci fi video games and why?
12) What do you do on the first snow the year (if it snows where you live ;D)?
13) If there was one character you'd wish I'd draw/write more of who is it (I'm placing bets on Daniel )?

Yah, I'll be brief because I've only got a short amount of time before I really need to hit the hay (aka fall over dead in my bed) and I want to comment on some things that I know people have been waiting forever for.....So stressful times here in my neck of the woods. People (who live where I am) be hatin'/filling up my free-art-time, a pet got sick (I managed to nurse her back to health though!), pieces fell off my batmobile, a new car (clonemobile?? ) has arrive and now comes all the paperwork in which no one in my vicinity was willing to check for me until the last second ("Oh you should go to the DMV tomorrow, Nimbus, because you're dumb and forgot to do this one thing."), and just a lot of people being annoyed and angry around me which is super frustrating when all one wants is peace and quiet and to get a project done. Things are still slowly progressing. I apologize to those waiting for requests to be fulfilled. I also apologize to those waiting for me to comment on their pieces. I don't like to come here the hour or so before I go to work because then I am thinking about the things you made all day and it's unfortunately distracting when I need my full attention to attend to people. And by the time I get home, I'm often too tired or have too little time to immerse in art. By the way even though my job still deals with more people and can be tiring, I really enjoy it still. Great coworkers. :3 

If you have any questions, please let me know and I'll keep trying to get on DA more often.

Hello everyone! Hope everyone is doing well. I am completely exhausted after working and helping at a yard sale for the past two days. Just letting everyone know that I will be gone for about a week as of tomorrow; out of state and away from my all-collecting laptop. As always, I will be working on traditional sketches and stories in my notebook (ugh, just what I need, more manuscripts to type! Xp). Hope you all stay well and keep up the enormous amounts of creativity I've been seeing since my return here. You guys are phenomenal and are making more and better art than me. Rock on! Also, I've noticed some people have started watching my progress: Welcome aboard, friends! Hope to return with some good art for you! 

Stay awesome, guys! <3

How's it going awesome people?! The purpose of this blog is to give you an update on what I'm working on currently, stuff that's going on, and basically more random thoughts about dA.

1) There is like so much stuff going on right now I can't even..... :flail: I feel like this is how Tron feels before the coup; running around (basically, in circles) doing so many things all at once. My house got new carpet so I was basically the one hauling stuff up and down the stairs. Some of said things are still kinda packed into boxes and on the opposite end of the house. Some things including a few notebooks with Underworld parts in them, Tron Requiem storyboards, and sketchbooks. I will be unpacking more tomorrow when I get a chance. I helped clean up a bunch of stuff and my parents want me to help with a rummage sale, lol. My car (remember the batmobile?) is kind old and tired and is slowly deteriorating so I'm working on getting a new one which is unexpectedly stressful/time-consuming (especially just selling the thing and getting a small loan--I don't have any credit cards, lol). I also got raised to a new position at work so I will be working more often. My job right now is like the best job ever and I'm definitely nervous about having to talk to people all day again. Thus all my artsy fartsy time has been crushed down to the middle of the night (which is bad because I'm one of those weird creatures that needs like 9 hours of sleep every night to be fully operational the next day  ) or at really random times. Hence everything moves even slower... XC

2) On a super happy note (or at least super happy to me ), I feel like my work is getting way better than it had in previous years. Sure it's taking me a while but I am really liking some of the stuff I'm farting around with. Here's some things I've been drawing lines on:
  *A request of two clones in a medbay by . I've restarted and reworked this one as I'm trying to get the positions right. I've been working on one and trying to get the two characters' hairstyles correct. It's a good challenge and I go to this one when I get like 2 hours to work on art. 
  *Underworld. Ugh, this thing is like a giant now. I have like piles and piles of manuscripts to sort through (some are inferior/outdated) and type up but man, it's getting pretty serious. I do have a part (like part 9 or something) that's pretty much ready to go but I keep holding back because, honestly, it's basically bringing out the big guns. Big guns meaning a weird headcanon thing that I've made into my books and had worked into the heart of Underworld (because, heck, why not.... ). It's kinda strange and very...well not-so-logical of me and I just hope it's likable enough....  But :iconSilverblaze746:'s characters...daaaannng. They be so insane right now. (Grey like kicks more than one person in the face and there's obscene amounts of epic things going on with them--butt-kicking and face slapping in general  ) Underworld is basically one of my top obsessions this year. I like can't stop writing it.  
  *Let's take this moment to reflect on how randomly insane I've gotten about Solas.....  (< the only icon I can find of this marvelous hobo elf man...I inspire to make more of him and Cody or something....) I have two notebooks now filled with 50% Underworld story and 50% Solas-related trash: Solas goes to the Fade to find Lavellan's dead parents, Solas gets squashed by a pride demon and almost dies, Solas fishes Lavellan, Varric, and Cassandra out of that nastyshebs pond of zombies in the Fallow Mire, Solas talks to his cranky-butt mom, Solas crashes an evanuris party, ect ect.........Let me know if any of these various articles of....weirdness would interest you enough for me to refine and post it here.  
  *I actually turned on my Tron music and drew Tron Requiem (Tron's not dead!) and it was fun! I redid some things I'd been agonizing over from the past year when I was a rusty-artist-person and it was like:  I want to get this done though because I did so much of the story in storyboarding and there were just too many questions left unanswered (can't repeat what Disney did to Tron fans ).

[goes off to play Minecraft like a foo]
Peace to all! Be cool.   <3 [falls asleep]
