though I can't really say I'm open nor closed... I'm just kinda... in a blank sort of mood, which happens far to often. I try and draw, but end up not getting what I want.

I'm making this as more a Status Journal.

I know I have several people I need to do my end of the Trades with.

If you have a trade from me still pending, please note me! I will update this journal, and hope to get to ya ASAP!

so far:
1. Thequinkan

2. Gabe-Seers

3. DNApalmhead

4. FoxKelfonne

5. Kayla-la

Please, Note me, I'm pretty forgetful, if your waiting for a peice from me, please note me!

I'm afraid I am not accepting any new ones untill I get around to finishing these (and any others that I have forgotten about)

Ok, so most of yall know Tara, yes?

Alright, well I have come up with a lil idea...
Have people submit ideas of different outfits, and then have draw Tara in said outfit, that I think looks the best, maybe draw more than just one ^-^;

The winners that thier outfit idea that get picked, would also receive updates to the process of me drawing her in the outfit they desired ^-^

Just a note before you get crazy... no "she might as well not have anything" type clothing

Just put the ideas in comments to this journal, post a link of the outfit.

I have come to a conclusion... Chalas, I'm sure some of yall know, was a phoenix, and I have art of him as such.

Though... Chalas is to much like Kalista, in appearance. I want there to be more difference. I decided Chalas will be a gryphon!

However, I'm not sure about a few things yet...

Chalas is a gryphon, but
what colors?
What feather/fur patterns
size? Cuddly normal size? Or overly large featherduster?

and...
I'm thinking of having him have some form of size change that he cannot control himself. I'm not sure what kinda mechanism to use...
Just constantly growing bigger over time?
Grow when frieghtened?
Grow when hugged/poked/etc?
or whtever ideas you have?

Welp, results are back, and I'm moving on up, I'm now a Petty Officer 3rd class... well I'll be frocked soon for it, but still, E-4, not bad! I get to put on some stuff on my uniforms now, finnally!

My hand is healing... still has a hole that's still closing... and the stab has healed, though scared...

I also passed the Enlisted Surface Warfare Specialist Test, and passed! Though I'm still no where near getting the pin... need to study more, but the Test is the first major stepping stone.

Also my TV glasses came in today, so now I can play PS2, Wii, etc. all in my bed, no need to scrounge up a TV! whee!

Though... I lost my USB cable, I need to use my external HD and such...

Been having a bad week...

Couple days ago, I ended up stabbing myself with a paint scrapper, while trying to peel up some "non-skid" friction pads.... a good 5mm deep cut right to my left thumb's knucle...

Today I end up getting my paw impaled by my bed rack, lifted it up trying to get my stuff to get ready for work... rack slipped and thought my paw was a crab leg, nearly broke some bones... but I was fortunate... however, my rack still impaled it, with somthing sticking out when it fell. so I had to get medical, passed out from not having aten yet... yea... fun times...

typing this all with a single paw.
