I really am working on some art, really.
I just didn't post it yet.
Anyway... have some photos in the meantime.

To all the 9,000,000 people who just changed their user names, if you did anything more than change the capitalization*, I now have NO IDEA WHO YOU ARE.

Thank you.


*Except *thefuzzyslug who used a name she uses elsewhere. You are exempt.

Once upon a time I was trying to come up with a Darkwing Duck fandom OC, and I finally came up with the beginnings of a suitably horrible character name: Meteorologist Gail Farce.   Strangely enough, spell-check tried to change "Meteorologist" to "Kremlinologist" so, SHUSH may be after her already.

But I am a long way from having a solid character idea...  Except that, in accordance with all my usual OC preferences (can you say "rut"?), she is some sort of Duckverse-style dragon [ [link] ] with an affinity for the wind (hence the terrible name). That is plenty weird enough, when trying to fit into St Canard, even if you are trying to be a mundane weatherman or something of the sort.  

Anyway, if anyone wants to help me brainstorm Gail (in comments or notes or something, I'm flexible), I appreciate input.
I have a few ideas, and they are appropriately silly.

I found a car! I should have it by Monday.
It's a Civic, and, of all the cars I test drove, the only one that made me excited about buying a car.
If I'm going into this much debt, I want to be excited about it!

Also I'm SO EXCITED because I finished those dragons.
These:

I was dragging my feet on those and it took forever. Whew.

And I even finished this one too:


Now on to the NEXT project...

Ooo what shall I do next?
Perhaps some jewelry...

PS. I have been trying to exercise - I joined  a site called FITOCRACY (Fitocracy.com) and I love it to bits.
If you join, please tell me your user name! I'll friend you!
There is even a deviantART group on the site, but I haven't seen any names I recognize.

My car is dying.
I have discovered that I hate searching for a car. Arrrrgh.
I had one actually *die in a parking lot* while I was on a test drive.
And the dumb part was, the salesrep did not come with me on that test drive.

Hmmm good thing no zombies appeared at that point, or I'd have been TOAST.


How are you?

Everyone go wish the wonderful, whimsical ~CatharsisJB a happy birthday!
She is a wonderful person. Don't let her tell you otherwise.

CAKE FOR ALL!

Look! [link] Art from ~Hexaditidom ! Go check out his gallery.

I really need to come up with a DW OC just so that I can have it pester everyone else's OC.
(Er, totally unlike Spin.)

Anyway everyone go check out some Disney Afternoon style art

*GreyOfPTA and *FrothingLizard and ~Zebeckras

Of course there are also *CeVarity and ~FrankieVonDrake and *malarity

And many more.

Warning: Most galleries contain nude ducks at some point.

Hi there. I will try to post more art. I don't feel like I've posted much art, though I guess December was busy.
Sometimes I feel very bad about the quality of my art, but it's my own fault since I don't practice like I should.
Same as with just about everything else in life, discipline is important.
And I don't have a lot of discipline.

But I don't make actual New Year's Resolutions, so that isn't a resolution.

Anyway, I have heard a couple of people say I should draw Spin.
I love you, couple of people.
Ok I will draw some more Spin.

Wow it's almost Christmas!
I still have one more package to send *cough* I know it will arrive late.
No snow at all here, either.

Chrome browser is not letting me see any of my messages. It also isn't letting me edit this journal correctly.
Anyone else having problems with Chrome and dA playing together?
I had to switch to Firefox to write this!

In other news, while everyone else is playing Skyrim, I finally got Oblivion. Boy is it fun!

I didn't draw a 30Characters character tonight so tomorrow I have to draw three of them.

Not that I didn't have a good reason, but, oh boy I get behind quickly!

Good luck to anyone doing this, or NaNoWriMo!

I took Harry to the vet today and as soon as they did an x-ray they found a mass around his heart, and called and said they should immediately put him down because he was suffering so much.

So they did.

My cat, Harry, is really doing poorly. I have an appointment for the vet on Friday, but I would not be very surprised if there is nothing to be done. I've had him about 12 years. I'd always wanted a cat, but I didn't get him (my first cat) until I was an adult, I'm glad I have him.

I am doing the 30characters.com challenge! Draw (paint, whatever) 30 original new characters in 30 days.

So far... I'm on day one, and I have one finished!

I think it will be more do-able for me than NaNoWriMo

My stuff is here: [link]

*fogllama is awesome.
And also he gave me a gift subscription to dA.
But even if he hadn't done that, he is awesome.
Not only that, but he has amazing skills with photography, dancing, scuba, arduino, delphi and steampunk.
And he is the only person I can say that about.

The lemon-blackberry cake I was baking in the last journal entry fell apart, and I had to hurriedly assemble an Emergency Trifle out of it for the dinner. Alas. But it was eaten and enjoyed.

I am busy, and I am frequently frustrated with how awful my drawing skills are, but the only way to improve is to actually draw. So I need to either make it a priority or quit complaining. Kind of like weight loss.

Anyway this week at my church is the missions conference. I strongly believe everyone in the world needs to hear the Gospel, that Christ died for your sins, according to the scriptures, and was buried, and rose again the third day. [I Cor 15:1] - if anyone wants to talk about that, I will talk.

Also my premium membership ran out here at dA. I will renew it eventually. Unless someone gifts me with one.

I was going to go to Con on the Cob on Friday, but now a business meeting at work has conflicted with that. [anyone else going?] I will still go Saturday.
And I just took the cat to the vet!  Now I am about to make a lemon-blackberry cake for the church dinner tonight!

Wheee, list of random events!

How are you?

Someone drew me a pic:
Someone is cool.
Look at his gallery.
That's to you.

I have been parking in my chat #airborne more lately, since I can check it from my phone. But it is actually empty. If anyone wants to say hi, please do.

Oh and if you are in there, type my name so it will ding me to let me know!

What's up? I'm just.. *checks clock* about to be late for work!

Of course [link] <-- is what I really wanted for my birthday.

Well that was the worst birthday ever, because I didn't get a single present. "Adults who know about this sort of thing" tell me to get over it, so I guess it's one of those grown-up things.
So life goes on!
But if you have an aunt or something, send her a card - old ladies like to be remembered.
Because I appreciate the cards I got (weaponized glitter!! X3)

Sorry that this is me whining. Oh well. I just had a Party of One.
