~Miss Panda's Art Thread~

[azukitan]

Aw man, now I feel like a doofus for saying bakery XD I've always wondered what it was like to work at a pizzeria... The only food places I've worked at were a dim sum restaurant and frozen yogurt joint my family owns. Speaking of which, I'm helping out at the latter tomorrow. We live pretty similar lives; I'm a homebody at heart and spend 3/4 of my time at home. It was a lot different back in college, but nowadays, I don't mind being more of an introvert~ Ahh, I'm the same way when it comes to fashion. I've changed a lot over the years since I used to splurge like crazy on custom tees and hoodies, but that's a luxury I can no longer afford >u>

I currently live with my immediate family as well--two parents, two brothers, and two piggies :'D I would like to move out ASAP and be less of a burden, so I'm trying my best to find a job atm. Admittedly, I have had an unproductive past 6 months. I quit my previous job making IV bags at a pharmaceutical company because I couldn't stand the robotic, mundane tasks and mandatory overtime. I was working from 2 PM to 3 AM every other day from Monday through Saturday. It was brutal, to say the least, but what really pushed me over the edge was the condescending treatment I received from my supervisor and coworkers. SO NO REGRETS! I'm happy to be out of the demon's clutches >__<

Haha, anywayyyy... Changing the topic! Your love interest sounds super sweet ;w; I wish I could meet someone that could stir up my emotions like that. *sigh* I think I'm still torn up over my previous relationship though, so there's no sense rushing these things uvu;; And, y'know, I actually don't mind being single all that much! I have an easier time unjumbling my mind and am able to focus on other aspects of my life~ It ain't all bad 8D

Eeeee, and lovely works as usual! The Zelink doodle makes my kokoro go doki doki <333

Awww, don't feel that way! It's an easy mistake to make and I never specified it before. To be honest, though, working in the little pizza joint and being around that smell all the time has made me basically lose most of my liking for pizza altogether. Making the dough is repetitive and boring as hell work, and I know where you're coming from with despising a job like that, but at this point I'm just used to it and I live in the middle of nowhere, where having a job is a luxury, practically, so I can't be picky. Haha. It did add to my carpal tunnel issues, but wearing a wrist brace when I'm not at work helps. Man, I'm sorry to hear that you were treated so poorly at your job. Good on you for leaving it behind, in that case. I can't imagine working hours like that. Good god! I get annoyed with the other workers losing/breaking the materials I need to use, but otherwise, the family that owns the pizza place is really nice. I suppose I lucked out in that case. They don't give me many hours (since hours depend on sales which have gotten worse as the years go along), but I don't have to worry about losing my job or anything.

Haha, I'd like to say I was different in college, but I've been extremely shy and socially anxious all my life. It's not something I've been able to cure so far. But as things are, I'm not going to push it and send myself back through all the progress I've made. Nothing wrong with living our quiet little lives though, huh? I hope you find something that's right for you, job/career-wise. It's more difficult than they make it seem back when you're in like, high school.

Aww, keep your head up! To be completely honest, I never ever thought I'd find someone with the potential to put up with me. There's plenty of time ahead of you, so don't worry. If an old lady like me is catching a break, I'm sure you'll get yours. : ) Just gotta wait for that right person. I understand what you mean about previous relationship problems, though. Definitely give those wounds time to heal! And yeah, nothing wrong with being single, either. I welcomed it after wasting 10 years of my life trying to impress the person I first fell in love with, who manipulated and emotionally abused me to hell and back. I thought after that and getting myself out of that abusive situation that I was pretty much done altogether with relationships, but you never know what the future will hold. And being single just gives us the freedom to take things one day at a time, however we wish~! But yeah, if you need the focus on life, it's even better---it's definitely easier to put yourself and your needs first when you're not romantically involved with someone else.

Ahhh, thank you! I'm glad you liked the doodle~ There's lots of things very off with it, but I just felt the need to do art of them again after so long.

Lil' day bump~

Gonna work some more on my contest entry. At this point, it's going to be a race against the clock to finish it before submissions end. @_@

 

[Shirohibiki]

oh wow, youre really improving! its great to see! i love the zelda/link pic!!!! never stop drawing <3333 youre awesome qvq

 

[Amissapanda]

oh wow, youre really improving! its great to see! i love the zelda/link pic!!!! never stop drawing <3333 youre awesome qvq

Ahh, thank you so much! (As usual~!) I don't see any improvement in that Zelda/Link pic---in fact, doodle-wise, it's really lacking and I didn't spend a lot of time fixing up the posing and such. But anyway, glad you enjoyed it! It was still fun to do and very well-received by the fandom on tumblr, as well!

All that aside, I'm making progress with my fair contest entry! My hand is KILLING me, but I've passed the halfway point as of today and I'm going to see if I can gun to finish it tomorrow (or if not, then Wednesday). I'm really happy with it, though. I thought it was an ambitious idea, but I'm glad I went for it. I'm learning to draw more villagers!

What's up with your coworkers? Stop breaking stuff, guys *shakes fist* Not sayin' y'all are incompetent, but you're hasslin' Amissa ;w; Haha, but aside from that, your job doesn't sound too bad. The stability in itself is appealing and the owners sound super sweet, although I wish business was doing better... My family's yogurt shop isn't doing all that well either, tbh, but it's the winter season, so go figure. Bah, and such nonsense! You're not old! xD However, I do see you as some sort of wise guru... Oh gosh, here I am putting you on a pedestal again. You must hate that, don't you? HNNNG *tries everything in my power to stop*

Ah geez, your ex-boyfriend/love interest sounds like a real piece of work. If only I could go back in time to sock him in the face! Wait, no-no, violence is bad (even if the jerk deserves it). What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, am I right? Resilience is a wonderful thing, and all your patience seems to have paid off as well.

Thanks so much for the encouragement ^u^ It certainly helps to stay positive, but just think, a few years from now I'll be worrying about how I'm going to balance my career and love life. Keep throwing obstacles at me, why don'tcha? Lol.

What's your favorite Zelda game? I bet you're psyched for the Majora's Mask remake! 83

I wouldn't mind if they were straight with their mistakes, but... it's the fact that they don't even tell me they broke anything. I don't find out until I come into work needing to use that specific thing. For example, I have multiple measuring containers. They have broken two of the store ones (and the first time, they got me a BUCKET FOR A REPLACEMENT) and then I started bringing in my own. The first one, they broke, and left the broken pieces on the strainer for me to find, no explanation, no replacement. Now I take the other new one I bought home with me every day after work since I don't trust them. *ahem* Rant aside... I'm definitely no wise guru. XD;;; Just another person out there without a life, really. But yeah, due to people putting me on a pedestal (not you, but others), I find it really hard to make friends. I don't know how to explain to people that it's fine to approach me and I'm just like them, etc. It's overwhelming when I message someone or leave them a comment on tumblr or something and I get a reply like "OMGGGGG U TALKED TO ME OMMGGGGG I CAN DIE HAPPY NOW", and that's not even an exaggeration. I never even know what to say to them.

Yeah, that's exactly it! I feel I've grown a lot stronger emotionally because that all happened to me. Yeah, it sucked and I was miserable during that time, but now I don't feel like I'm hopeless and that others can determine my worth for me. I don't have to "settle" for something or someone and if they tell me otherwise, they're just trying to make me feel like crap and not worth my time.

No problem! Positivity definitely goes a long way. And you can always worry about that when the times comes. Enjoy the freedom, in the mean time. : )

Hm, my favorite Zelda game is actually Skyward Sword. It's the first Zelda game I've seen that actually establishes Link and Zelda's relationship as something more than the hero and the princess. Their childhood friends aspect drew me in right away. And I all around just liked how it went and how they surprised me with one of the characters I initially didn't like at all (I won't say who in case you haven't played/seen it). And as for Majora's Mask... I haven't actually played it before. XD;;; Hahahaha.

What's your favorite game in general? And what would name as you top three favorite foods? Also, I know you have two adorable little pet guinea pigs, but do you have any other pets?

Oh, and I did actually finish my fair entry! It took until just about fifteen minutes ago, actually. Hahaha. I put a crazy amount of time and work into it. I even have a blister on my thumb to prove it! Lmao. I haven't decided if I want to post it in the "Show off your art contest entry" thread or not yet.

 

[Amissapanda]

For the lack of art posts, here's something I did earlier this year:

I run an "Ask Ahiru" blog on tumblr, which I'm pretty inactive with as of late. (Too much art stuff to do. TOO MUCH.)

But I try to do little simple animation things for a lot of the answers, which is part of what makes it so daunting to do them.

It's still hella fun, though. I hope in the new year (or after Christmas, at least), I'll start doing questions for it again. Heaven knows I have something like 350 waiting in the inbox... THAT IS ALSO INTIMIDATING. But yeah. Here's to hoping!

 

[Amissapanda]

Boop de boop~

 

[Hyoshido]

Too much good art to keep into one post so I'll just say: Keep on truckin' Amissa! your artwork is still as adorable as always!

Also I need to help bump this for you at times, yes.

Aww, thank you so much! And that's so sweet of you, really. I appreciate the bumping thought!

Also, just so I don't double-post, here's what I was trying to explain to Pengu on Bunni's stream earlier about my tablet monitor's issues with lines:

There were some that I smoothed out here (like for her facial structure and such), but the majority of the lines you see otherwise are wobbly as heck. Since this was a quick 20-minute doodle thing, I didn't take my care with it and you can see the lines that my tablet monitor makes normally in a lot of places. It's frustrating as heck. And I still redrew a lot of them multiple times to try not to get ones that jittered so much. But you can see it in most of the lines. This is using a paint tool, not a binary or pencil tool. Literally the smoothest option I have and it's still nowhere near smooth.

I hope this explains better than my attempt at verbally explaining. lol

Hi! I would just like to say that your art is amazing! And that I would pay over 1k TBT for your art! I love your art to pieces and keep up the good work!

Thanks so much! I'm happy that you think so. : ) I'm afraid I don't have a shop or sell art here, though. The most I do now is an auction once in awhile, but that won't be until after Christmas, since I have a billion things to get done before then. But I appreciate what you've said, nonetheless! Thanks!

 

[Rock]

your art is really cute!!!

 

[Amissapanda]

your art is really cute!!!

Thank you so much!

Also, uh... who put a "kill urself" tag in my tags? That's... kind of going a bit far, even if you don't like me/my art. ._.;

HII MISS PANDA! Lovely art, as always!

 

[azukitan]

*facepalm* Seriously, guys? =A=;; I've encountered/worked with a few people like that. The most memorable incidents involve a broken toilet that won't flush (gross, right?) Someone would break it and not care to fix it themselves or tell me out of common courtesy, so I would always end up having to discover and deal with the mess by myself ; ;

Haha, oh wow. You have a rather large fan-base! Amissa is the equivalent of Pewdiepie in the Princess Tutu universe It's wonderful to admire someone, but idol worship is going a bit far. *thinks of the book/film Misery*

"I'm your biggest fan!"
"O__O *slowly backs away*"

I haven't played Skyward Sword, to be honest. I'm an exclusive handheld console player when it comes to LoZ--which is merely coincidence, not by choice XD;; I'll check it out, though! The game should be cheaper than it was before (I hope.)

Favorite gamessss? Oh geez, that's a hard one x__x Uh, I guess as of right now I'm reaaaally into visual novels. I love a good storyline and character development more than anything, so I'm naturally drawn to games with heavy dialogue. Mystery, psychological thriller, and horror are my most-loved genres (and luckily for me, they usually go hand in hand)~ RPG games and simulation games are also fun, but at this moment in time, I can only take so much level-grinding and repetitiveness QoQ

My top three favorite foods areeee:
1. Indian curry
2. Stir-fried bamboo shoots
3. Spring rolls

Hehe, and my guinea pigs are actually the first pets I've ever had. My parents aren't too keen on animals, otherwise I would have bought a dog--my favorite breeds are Samoyeds, Border Collies, and Scottish Terriers. I still love my little boys, nevertheless <3 Now how about chuu? What are your favorite games, foods, and how many pets do you own?

Erm... can we get a mod in here to remove that hateful tag? That's seriously messed up .___.

Oh, wow. Ew, that's super gross. And that's really crappy that they left it to you to take care of (no pun intended). :/

Lmaoooo! No, no, no. I don't have a fanbase or anything. Though I do have a significant amount of haters. Someone actually sent me an anonymous message on tumblr saying that their Christmas wish was granted seeing how much of fandom hated me. lol There's a lot of support from friends and such, though, and I couldn't ask for me. It's awkward when someone approaches me like that, but I try to be as nice about asking them not to do that as possible. XD;

Haha, I don't blame you! Handheld definitely makes things easier to pick up and play. Skyward Sword was pretty great, in my opinion, but there's also a lot of people who don't like it, so I guess it's either one of those "love it or hate it" kind of games? I dunno, lol.

Ohhhh, visual novels! Since you mentioned that, I feel like I have to ask... have you played Umineko? I admit the killing and gore is too much for me, but at least it wasn't so bad in the visual novels as it was in their anime rendition. *shudders* But if you love horror and mystery, that's like... almost at the top of the list for visual novels, so I thought I'd put it out there!

Interesting choice of foods! The only one I recognize on there are spring rolls, but that's cool that you have such a wide variety of foods that you like! I'm pretty boring in terms of that. lmao.

Awww. Border collies are definitely adorable. My dad always wanted a terrier, but since the family has always rescued dogs from the local shelter, we basically have to choose from what they have there. But yeah, all I have is my American Eskimo dog. And he's the best. <3 I couldn't ask for a better and more loving dog. In the past, we had two other shelter dogs (a beautiful spaniel-mix and a lab-mix). And long loooong in the past, we had two black and white cats. Unfortunately, in my early years, I developed a terrible allergy to cats. Which is a shame, since I do love them.

I'll put my entry up for the fair tonight! I'm a little intimidated by all the amazing greatness already. Hahaha. And I've been giving my hands a rest the past couple days. : ) At least, before Sunday/Monday when I've got to get trucking on all the stuff to get done before Christmas.

I talked to a mod last night about the tag after I found it and they said they would deal with the person in question as well as remove the tag for me. I'll be patient until they take care of it. : )
