haha yes! I was making the best of my situation before Bell Tree. I ran into the site a couple times because of searching for QR codes. It never actually crossed my mind to get an account. There was more of a push to join Reddit but I wasn't too fond of that layout. I ended up just going with Bell Tree because it seemed more user friendly, but the prices seemed higher here lolz
I use to play Ragnarok Online too! (I love RO... if my town name didn't make that obvious lolz) except I only played with a couple classmates through a private server. It's been so long... I think I was out of it by the time RO2 was a thing (that was a thing, right?) I would pop into RO every now and then, but I haven't been serious with it for almost half a decade haha.
I imagine that CTS must make everything uncomfortable. I believe my brother got it from working at his computer for years cause I remember him wearing the arm brace for a good while. It's gotta be tough for sure and I appreciate you reminding me of it actually. I keep forgetting that with age those kinda things start to happen to people @__@ But its still incredible how you can work past it.
What was so tough about the art contest is knowing that all the nominations deserved to be there... yet not everyone was going to walk out of that with something. Even with the compromises, I didn't really see that ending well for someone. Ultimately the tension for that particular contest was high to begin with and then having the ordeal made it crazier. Part of me wishes that they allowed more than one vote, but I guess with the amounts of people that would've been insane to handle. To me it felt unfair that I could only vote for one because I felt like a bunch of pieces deserved recognition and I couldn't give it to them. I honestly do feel sorry it worked out that way. :\ It was such a troublesome situation all around I think.
We'll mud wrestle to test who has the proper rights to swoon over Amissa >:C yet again, I think we'd end up swooning over eachother, mud wrestling does involve physical contact and people say I'm surprisingly warm and "huggable"
:lD
Also, fair warning: I swear a lot in streaming MK8. It just comes out naturally when I'm racing. I also get a bit crazy when I'm caffeinated, but it's all in good fun!
You're free to come watch, or add my NNID and you can join in the fun. : )
Whoo I actually got to watch the MK8 stream for a bit (but I always have to quit because my browser lags). I need to race you sometime. Although I should CLR myself first. get it.. cuz I'm rusty.
;_;
I am much more adorable in drawing form than RL. LOL. And me getting married would be like hell freezing over. (...I know that guy. He's the uh. That blonde lead from the Maid-sama anime thing. I CAN'T REMEMBER THE NAME.)

Makes sense! I've never even used Reddit, though I hear a lot about it all over. If I'd been smart, I would have joined here the year ACNL came out, but joining forums just wasn't on my mind. Plus, aside from work and other necessities, I was practically glued to playing it on my 3DS for the first three of four months after release.
Oohhh! Another RO player! Awesome. : ) I played on and off since 2003. I did start on the official server, but it was all private servers after that. I did quit again this part year, but I have the feeling I'll end up getting dragged back into it at some point... it seems like I always do, somehow. XD;
Ouch, yeah. A lot of people who spend a long time on computers/typing tend to get it, too. That sucks that he has to deal with it, though. Hopefully it wasn't bad enough to get the corrective surgery done? And no prob--I like to remind other artists/writers that it's a real problem, 'cause I honestly never saw it coming and it's easy not to think about those things until they actually happen. And sometimes if the signs were ignored... well, it can get pretty bad. I'd hate to see anyone go through that.
Yeah, definitely. It just didn't go smoothly this time around. I dunno how past ones have been. I just felt that the issues should have been addressed more directly, even just at the end of the fair, instead of just basically ignoring the problems that arose. And I was a bit surprised that there wasn't a 'first, second, and third' voting system to use. I guess the way WonderK conducts things had be subconsciously expecting it. lol

Ahh, awesome! Glad you could stop by. : ) And it would be great if you came to race sometime (WE DEFINITELY NEED MORE GIRLS). No pressure, though. It's more just for fun than it is any kind of competition. Which isn't to say that people don't play seriously, but I, at least, just play to have fun, even if I'm losing terribly.
Also, just a notice in general. I'm working on an OC for the first time in... forever? I've been challenged with making an OC that isn't a nice/good-aligned person for a change. So. Luce is in creation and he's seductive sadist 'lady-killer' type.
Let's see if I can pull this off. I like him so far, though.
Meet Luce. This is about the only thing of him I have so far that's presentable out of a bunch of things. Not nearly as nice as he looks. Not human, either, though he pulls off the look quite well. He specializes in manipulative magic and charming the ladies.
Since I'm streaming soon, I didn't have nearly enough time to color him, but he'll have a dark-ish shade of red hair and gold eyes. Unsure about the suit yet. Perhaps black with a red undershirt and black tie.
He puts some dangerous in being "dapper"~
Wooo. I actually have some actual art to post for a change.
Yeah, shippers feel that way a lot, methinks~ I'm just attempting to draw doodles for every single one of my tumblr Ask responses this year and I'm already starting to falter, so it accurately described how I felt about my friend explaining OTP wedding headcanons to me. lol
Haha, glad you think so! He's supposed to be good at attracting the ladies, after all~ He still needs work, but I'm having fun. Been awhile since I played around with an OC. Most of my OCs are from like 2003-2004 or before. Poor babes. I hardly did too much with them.
Came awfully close to having this thread closed tonight.
I wanted to feel good about art in 2015 and optimistic, but so far I feel so far down about it and I can't seem to pick myself back up. I see a billion things wrong in that sketch and everything I'm doing lately and I just want to stop and go bury my head under a rock somewhere. I feel like I'm regressing instead of progressing. I hate this.

It's not what I intended. He was supposed to have his head tilted down as well as looking off to the side. I messed up the preliminary sketch somehow and instead it just looks like his head is facing forward. It just doesn't look right to me at all. Almost none of the sketches I've done of him have. I can't create OCs for crap. And it's not just that, anyway. Aside from the one I did for Teddy, I'm not happy with anything I've made so far this year.

Cool I prefer to play for fun anyway, I'm not super-competitive and I don't really like playing with people who are (since I raised my online score though it always groups me with competitive players and I can't stand the way they drive LOL someone shoves me off the course at the start every time)
In regards to your recent art slump, those seem to come in waves. We're only two weeks into the new year, you've got a lot of time to pull yourself out of it!! Your feeling of not being able to get something right is all too familiar to me, sometimes you just have to work with what comes out.

We're in the same boat then, as far as Mario Kart racing goes. Haha. I'm all right with playing with competitive people, but the thing I can't stand is when you happen to hit someone with something (as, you know, the game pretty much intends that you try to do) and they set a target on you to basically destroy you no matter what. That kind of seriousness gets on my nerves. lol But yeah, you're welcome to join anytime. I hold an MK8 stream every Monday night at 8:30PM EST.
Yeah, I know we're not that far into the year. It's just that 2014 ended on such a high and then literally almost everything that has happened since the start of 2015 has not been good. It's not just in the realm of drawing, but considering I like to use drawing to calm and enjoy myself, struggling just as much with that is making it difficult to heft myself out of this depressive slump. I'll bring myself to try to work with that sketch later if I can, but I dunno. I'm just feeling incredibly disappointed with myself. I need to be more positive, something I was pleased about being able to do last year, and I just can't bring myself to be. The feeling isn't there.
I agree with Zane >__< Right now you simply need to acknowledge and respect the state you?re in. Don't let a temporary discouragement become a further blow to your confidence and self-worth. As Winston Churchill once said: ?Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.?
Although I should CLR myself first.
