Escape from reality....

DRINK UP YOUR VEGGIE JUICEEEEEEEEEEE.

*stab* Ok, no I just had to share this. It's totally random. XD

Just came back from the quest of doom (aka job hunting stuff) and I dropped by at Family Mart (a convenience store) to buy a drink, and I finally found... THIS:




Just in case you don't know what this is, it's originally from Hatsune Miku's song:

I burst out laughing when I saw this, and I know I scared the old guy behind me lol

Can't believe they actually made this... and it was really 200 yen LOL

It tastes like banana though... I think I prefer regular veggie juice. Or carrot juice. Or tomato juice.

That's all /shot

*rollsout*

Hey buns,

A quick update about what's going on over on my side.
First of all, I'm sorry to those who I owe commissions (those Valentine chibi ones)... I didn't thought i'd become this busy and the truth is, I'll probably still be busy for some while. Just to briefly explain what is keeping me busy is those job hunting crap. Deadlines for application forms, seminars, exams, and more portfolios D: Fun.
I'll try to get them done bit by bit, but since I'm ultra slow this might make you lose interest for them. Which is totally fine. I will promise I will finish them no matter what, but if you want refunds, feel free to send me a note about it.
But if you can wait, i'll be grateful, and deliver them to you once I draw them.

Still, sorry for all this slowness @_@

Also, I want to let the commissioners know about the fact that i've been uploading other things instead of doing your commissions: I needed to get some of those pieces done to be included in my portfolio, so I had to do them :S It might appear like I just ditched the coms and did other stuff which I do sometimes /shot, but nope, not this time.

Furthermore, about comments.
Sorry I haven't replied to any for past 2 weeks - due to reason above I really have no time to spend on dA lately /shot

NOTE ABOUT ATS TOO:
Sorry those who I have on the list - they're on my to-do list after the coms!

Anyways, i'll be off now... got 4 hr exam tomorrow /shot

Stay mushy.

Welp! Just came back from my first interview - think I bombed it, but i'll try not to think about it too much. Got loads of other stuff to do!

ANYWHO----.

I mentioned about doing a valentine features a while ago, and i'm going to keep that promise. If you have done a Valentine piece, comment here with a link to your deviation, so I can feature it on this journal
































Spread the love!

Thank you all who commissioned me ;w;
And i'm sorry those who I couldn't accept due to number-wise... hopefully if I manage to finish them before 2/14, I can open these again for few more!.



I wasn't going to open coms until I officially start my holiday, but unexpected expenses came up (ex. making and sending out portfolios) and I just remembered I had to raise money before the job event coming up on the 5th
This job hunting is making me go broke...ugh

So yeah, I'm going to be opening some chibis with special price.

Since it's 2/14 on Valentines, I'm going to take couple chibis for $14.
In this new jellibis style:


I just want to keep you in mind that I'll be constantly busy, so it might take a while to get these done... if you don't mind waiting for a while, send me a note with the following info:

* Name of OCs
* Reference of both couples (full body with color)
* Your paypal email

I'll reply if I accept your request or not.
Also, please note that I have my right to decline any commissions with whatever reasons. I mean no offence, it's just that I have my own issues lol
Please note that if I don't receive the payment in the next 7 days, i'll have to take you off the list.


List:
1. DONE
2. DONE
3. (x2) DONE
4. DONE
5. (x2) DONE
6. DONE
7. DONE
8. DONE

Well, just like the title say lol

I got a mail from this company I registered last night at like, 11 pm, and said some shit I had to send my portfolio within 2 days. So I was all panicking today and sent it out in the last minute.... ONLY TO FIND OUT FEW HOURS LATER THAT THEY ARE GOING TO HOLD ANOTHER DEADLINE AJSFLKSDGJ

SERIOUSLY. I hate. Hate. HATE How companies hide important info like this.... making people rush and send out crap when we still could have spent more time polishing it.. >_>

Anyways, I really don't want to study today for my exam on Monday because of this. It just screwed me over so bad I need to let go of my stress.

Today's menu:
* Pixel vignette
* Tolkien fanart

[link]

Just want to say sorry I haven't replied to any comments or notes for the past week - if you follow me on my twitter you'd probably know this but I went down with another nasty cold

I just know it was that portfolio. Drained most of my life away.

Anyways. I've started my finals so I'll probably be silent again until the end of this month ;_;
If you have something you definitely want replies to (like questions - but check my FAQ before you ask please), send me a note.

CIAO FOR NOW ;A;


P.S - I forgot one last thing! I need help on finding some animal photos for my pencil drawings - I have to do some of those for my next portfolio.... =_=
Preferably some BUNs (just because i'm obsessed with those mushyrolls lately /noduh)
* If you have a photo that you own, and don't mind me using it as a ref, please link me here on this journal.
* If you have suggestions from someone on dA, link those here too! I'll try to get a permission to use it if I am going to use it.

Would be eternally grateful if you guys can help me out. Got to get these done in the next 2 weeks /dies

I'M BACK 8D
Only for 2-3 hours tho....

(okay, why is it that my updated journals never show up in inbox.... )

I DID IT. I FINALLY DID IT.

I started working (seriously) Friday night, worked through the entire day from 9am - 3am (the next day) for weekends, and finished it 4pm on yesterday and sent it off at 7pm.
I tasted blood

It was hell yesterday though - it snowed like there's no tomorrow in Tokyo
Really, it almost never snows in Tokyo. It's like one place the snow clouds avoid visiting in Japan. I would have been ultra happy if I didn't had to go out to print and mail it off before the post office closed (the deadline was today, so I had to send it by yesterday.)


Creepy photo is creepy.
I was on the way home after sending it off. Everything was damp.


Random pic of this snowbun my sis and I made lol


Anyways. I just wanted to post some photos of how my portfolio came out since I worked-on-it-so-hard-like-never /shot
No really, I think I worked harder than studying my finals lol







TOTAL PAGES: 27

Sadly, this isn't over.... I have to add more stuff for the ones submitting to other places. They have different requirements OTL





PS - I want to show this off because it's too awesome:

MADE THE CUTEST PIXEL WHILE I WAS AWAY
Go watch her ppl. SHE'S AWESOME.

Happy New Year's Eve folks!

No, this is not another LS announcement journals lol Sorry to spam you all with those for the past week or so - sorry about it, I was a loner so I wanted a company *sobs*

Anyways, aside from drawing and working on my job hunting/study stuff, some events happened thought I'd share, and I should probably answer some questions some people have been asking me on notes

Q: "When will you open commissions again?"
I'm surprised to see there were quite a number of you asking me this question.
First of all, thank you for being interested with my work. And I'm sorry that i'm always closed. But I must say, I honestly don't know when I will and can open them again I really did wanted to open some commissions over this short winter break, but I was too busy with other stuff I need to get done for RL (studies, job hunting, etc.)...
But I do need to raise some money in order to create personal portfolios and such for the job hunting mission (ugh, job hunting is costly...) , i'll probably open them when I really need to. In that case, i'll post a journal so heads up on that. However, I can't reply back with an exact date when I will, because I don't want to make promise when I'm not sure.

Also, to those who are asking me for ATs, i'm sorry but as I have wrote on my FAQ already, they're for close friends only.
Request notes - I'm sorry, but I have ignored them. If you didn't get a reply when you asked one and wondering why, please read my FAQ.

One more thing: Please don't send "let's be friends" type notes too... i'm not being anti-social or anything here, but it's rather weird to ask to be friends when friendship is not something you can achieve by asking for it

Got a crack in my rib cage lol
Not broken, no. And i'm perfectly alive so don't worry about it lol
I had this pain that started two weeks ago right before my cold got better, and it just got worse last week - it was so bad it stung every time I walk or bend down. So I had to go to the doctor (since they're gonna close for New Year) and found out that it was cracked lol Joy.
It was caused by long-term coughing (evolved into "cough variant asthma" after coughing for over a month *dundundun*) so my rib couldn't just went ecstatic or something and went *CRACK*
I'm so not taking this seriously aren't I lol
If you're in middle of coughing for over 2 weeks, beware - I'm a living proof that coughing can crack your ribs.

I WENT TO COMIC MARKET ON 12/29! 8D
Okay, don't go like "WTF ARE YOU DOING WITH A CRACK RIB ARE YOU NUTS?!" - cuz I am
I had to go since one of my favorite artist was there XD

Winter Comic Market - AKA Fuyukomi @ Tokyo Big Site!

I always wonder... wtf is this upside-down pyramid...
It's 3 days event - I went on the first day.


Cosplay lovers - these people don't give a damn about wearing miniskirt in middle of winter lol
Lots of amazing cosplayers there!
However I've seen too many men in miniskirts too....

Omg, I couldn't take a photo, but there was a guy and a girl in wolf and bun cosplay! I felt like following them like a creep LOL XD

So my main objective of going here was to get some doujinshis from one of my fav. Silm artist

I was thrilled they remembered me ;w; They're so sweet and kind XD We are now hoping that more Tolkien fans will show up in the next comic market lol

After getting what I wanted and looking around, we went over to a shopping complex away from the crowd (important!) and had a big lunch XD

We went to a pirate restaurant lol

Greeted by rather creepy Captain Jack Sparrow (+ some random dude). They were having One Piece campaign (thanks to the new movie!) so lots of Mugiwara flags around lol

Inside:


Cool pirate waiter (hurrrr)

He doesn't want to show his face. Fine.

FOOD:


Sis and me lol

I HAVE LE TOMATO SOUP IM LE HAPPEH /shot
For some reason they were serving soup in cups...

Sunny says HI!


Oh and this is random but I'm cursed by Kamui (from Gintama)

Why?
Cuz see this:

You see, I did this capsule-toy vending machine thing, and  I did one for Gintama. I was aiming for Elizabeth, but no matter how many times I do, I GET THIS GUY. I'm serious. I did twice in a row on the same machine, KAMUI CAME OUT SAYING HI. Or he's saying "I'll kill you." Either way it's not funny. Then I went to another machine (different types) and there I try it again, and...

Kamui comes out OTL

Coincidence? I hoped it was, but here's the thing.
I did these two years ago when that Gintama movie came out. 4 times in total. GOT KAMUI 4 TIMES. D:
Im serious, they're sitting in my keychain box, cuz i'm not gonna put all of them on my phone... That's just beyond creepy.

Seriously, it was funny for the first 3 times, but it gets rather creepy after getting him 7 times in a row....



I think I wrote enough for this month (lol)
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I know this is terribly late, but I wanted to thank all those who have sent me birthday wishes back on 22nd! ;w;
I'm sorry I couldn't reply any sooner - I had my midterm exam on that day (joy), and I was (still am) sick from nasty cold, so I was practically dead from those...
But seeing all these kind messages, they really made my day <3

Replying will probably take some more time due to job hunting season starting up here in Japan.... Yes it's officially and nationally starting
I sometimes hate this country because they make it sound so depressing and deadly (not denying that they aren't lol) - such a serious country.... >_>

ANYWAYS! Ranting can come later lol XD

Now, I want to show off these lovely gifts people made for me <3333333
I JUST CAN'T EXPRESS HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU GUYS *dies*

Greetings all friends, watchers, and random passer-bys!
Today on November 11th (11/11), there is a little random event going on in Japan in which we call it "Pocky's Day".

Q: What's a Pocky's Day?
The company that produces the snack Pocky has set 11/11 as "Pocky's Day" just to celebrate with randomness.
Conspiracy of snack companies, I know lol

You can check out their website, and see how much derp they have done so far!
[link]

I'm just joining the bandwagon to celebrate this random event for fun and have some excuses to eat pockys lol

Anyways!
As I have posted on my poll few days ago, I'm going to keep my words and hold "POCKY DAY FEATURES"
Anyone is welcome to join - all you gotta do is submit a deviation that's related to Pocky, and give me the link to it (you can just leave it as a comment on this journal or note me.). Then I'll be more than happy to feature it for you on my journal!
