My apologies for being so boring around here for months, truly. I've a gajillion different things to do, from schoolwork to personal projects. My current to-do list, in no particular order of importance:

-Read two books for school; make a big journal thing for one
-Find a way to earn 23 and a half more service hours (curse you Pre-IB)
-Make the two remaining chibi pics
-Knit a sweater (don't give me that look...)
-Learn to sew so I can finish what I've started
-Make my friend's Gaia layout
-Improve my nonexistant animation skills
-Complete various drawings

...Why do I do this to myself? Urrrngh.

Well, at least I finished the dragon sculpture. Go look at it in the gallery. NOW!

...I guess you could continue reading this entry if for some reason you find it compelling. I remain doubtful, though.

So, yeah, I probably won't be churning out pictures or leisurely spending hours browsing dA for some time.
Also: website not happening. At least for some time. I haven't the time nor inspiration to make one at the moment. I'd really have nothing interesting to say, besides.

But I'll still be lurking around here from time to time, gawking at your arts. Pinky swear.

I'll start going through my messages and deviations and such...

How about a meme in closing? This one's from .
----------------------------------
1. Choose a few of your own characters. Five at the most.
2. Make them answer the following questions.
3. Then tag three people.
4. Feel free to go ahead and add some questions yourself!!

OCs:
~Wee the axolotl
~Tweek the velociraptor
~Cornelius the cat
(They're the only ones worthy enough. -_-)

How old are you?

Wee: Fifteen. Yosh.
Tweek: Nineteen. *velociraptorgrin*
Cornelius: I do not feel at ease revealing my age. I am aged is all I will say.

What's your height?

Wee: Seven inches.
Tweek: Um, I think about like five-four. I'm fricking short. T_T
Wee: *slaps Tweek* Shut up.
Cornelius: Five-foot-seven-inches, if memory serves.

Are you a virgin?

Wee: YES.
Tweek: ...
Cornelius: ... Why must these questions be so personal?

Who's your mate/spouse?

Tweek: Currently dating a coelophysis. Her name's Izz. ^^
Wee: Nobody. Just fine with that.
Cornelius: ...

Do you have any kids?

Wee: No... *glare*
Tweek: As far as I know, nope... hrmm...
Cornelius: No.

What's your favourite food?

Tweek: Nachos with all the fix-ins! Delicious!
Wee: Nachos sound good about now.
Tweek: Yeah, don't they? Let's go make some nachos.
Wee: Yeah.
Tweek: Hey, Cornelius, wanna have some nachos with us?
Cornelius: I'll pass. I remain sated from my lunch.
Tweek: *cocks head to side*

What's your favourite ice cream flavor?

Tweek: Hmm, chocolate chip. *stuffs face with nachos*
Wee: *gulp* Ice cream does not do wonders for the metabolism of exothermic creatures.
Tweek: ...Where the hell do you guys learn these words?!
Wee: I dunno.
Cornelius: I like vanilla bean, personally.

Have you killed anyone?

Wee: No. Most people would say I'm just a sweet little axolotl. :3
Tweek: Nobody of importance...
Wee: >_>
Cornelius: *ears perk*
Tweek: Kidding, kidding! No murdering here. Gawd, can't you guys take a joke?
Cornelius: Dare I presume that I am influencing your sense of humor, Tweek?
Tweek: Yeah, I think you said something like that once, now that I think about it.
Cornelius: ...*clears throat* Carry on, then.

Do you hate anyone?

Wee: Not at the moment. I highly dislike plenty of people, but I don't hate them.
Tweek: Yeh, but you wouldn't know 'em.
Cornelius: No longer.
Wee: ...Knowing you, I'm concerned by that response.

Have any secrets?

Wee: That's a secret.
Tweek: Smartass.
Cornelius: Of course I do. Do you truly expect me to divulge them?

Do you love anyone?

Tweek: Loves me some Izz. <3
Wee: Muh friends and muh family and all that cheese.
Cornelius: ...Yes. She was lovely.
Wee: .o___o.

What is your job?

Wee: None yet.
Tweek: I work at the Taco Bell down the road.
Cornelius: I'm an editor for the most part.

Boy or girl?

Wee: I assume you mean gender? I'm a girl. Hopefully you knew that.
Tweek: XY. Though the stuff about Izz should've told ya something...
Cornelius: I assumed it was fairly clear that I am male.

What do you do to relax?

Wee: Make stuffs.
Tweek: Y'know, like veg out. Sleeping's pretty relaxing too.
Cornelius: I enjoy pondering various subjects alone in my spare time.

What do you think your life expectancy is?

Wee: Um, I dunno. Hopefully into fairly old age. I do enjoy living...
Tweek: I just like to enjoy the now! Beats me how long I'll stay around.
Cornelius: I haven't a clue. I cannot see what is not in the present.
Tweek: Okay, then... Are we done now?

Golly, nearly a month without an update... again... Well, I promise I gots shtuffs in the works, so just hold out!

Progress of things...
-Pheonyx's chibis: I have a sketch.
-Smidge's chibi: sketch, as well.
-Dragon sculpture: Body pretty much completely sculpted; need to get mesh for wing armature.
-Gaia ava art: She said that she'd rather I made her an elaborate Gaia profile for Christmas. As for that, coming along...
-Portrait for school: Hah, I slack. Currently I have a C. Woot! (Dangit, I loathe that class...)
-100 pic challenge [link] : Like I'm gonna get around to that any time soon.


In the meantime, I'll do the meme with which tagged me.

I don't feel like tagging people. Pilfer if you so desire!

Hey all... yes, I've been gone for some time... gawd, at least a month...

But yes, I'm alive. I've just been devoting my time to schoolwork and family matters. I've been drawing every chance I get, but I haven't been finishing anything.

Alrighty, lessee my to-do list:

2. Complete three chibi requests (which are still open, by the way: [link] )
3. Finish four Gaia ava portraits for a friend
4. Do... something for the 100 theme challenge [link]
5. Do personal projects (I got stuffs in the works!), including launching a website by January

Fact: I got a C- on my previous project in Drawing and Painting. Wonder what I'll get this time? XD

Right then. I wanted a chibi from , so it is my duty to continue this... meme or something! So...
1. The first ten people to comment on this will get a chibi drawn by me...
2. ...as long as they post this in their journal, offering to draw chibis. See how it'll go on and on? (Well, I guess if ya want... I don't really care now.)
3. I'll draw any one character you like, be it your own character, an anime/videogame/cartoon character, a furry, whatever. It'll be in my own style, however. (The only sort of example I have would be this: [link] but I do usually draw my chibis more chibi-ish. Ya know, like two to three heads tall and a heckuva lot cuter. But just tell me how you want it.)
4. The chibi will be rendered in The GIMP, unlike example preceeding.
5. I'll post the chibis as I complete them, unless I get like a crapload of requests. But that's very unlikely.
Alrighty, the list so far!!
1. (it'll be a surprise)
2. (recreation of Smash Bros. Brawl screenshot of Snake grabbing Ike)
3. (it's a mystery...)
4-10 open...
100 Pic Challenge: [link]

Wow. It must've looked like I had dropped off the face of the Earth or something. Anyway. I'm still here. School's started, though, and it's the suck. And I have a cold. So you can expect even fewer deviations from me as my teachers assign homework, but I plan to at least doik around here as often as possible.
Not much more to say, 'cept I posted a new deviation. 'Tis all.
