- 15th of December, 2008
Probably that's what some of you asked yourselves during the last couple of months, when it comes to my activity.

It's true. I haven't been active anymore. At all. Probably just a few comments here and there, but that's all.

Now, I already made my decisions clear, and it is already too late to change any of the things I'll write down now. And that's basically what I really delayed a lot until now: Telling you what's wrong with me.


Well... actually nothing. I'm fine. AND I am still drawing pictures. However, there are things that changed:

- I am not drawing ANY Sonic-pictures anymore. Or anything about Sonicchars or whatever. Sometimes, I draw a small furry just for fun, but even that became rare. Most of my pictures contain humans now, and I am practicing at drawing them constantly.
So I'm not leaving my talents to rot, I will continue allowing them to flourish.

- I am not submitting pictures to dA anymore, and my contact to most people I know from dA has faded completely. Whoever I got in my contact list in MSN or Skype now is an exception. You could basically say I left the "community". (Which also means watching this account will probably be pretty useless from now on, unless you still want to wait for a miracle to happen.)
Why? Because I don't like it here anymore. Simple as that. There are many people who know me, for some kinda weird reason, but there aren't many people *I* know. And that's just anything but what I want.

- I am still submitting my pictures to the internet, but not to a real website for art, like furaffinity or artists united or whatever. It's a "site", that's probably one of the worst to look for via google or anything, and even IF you would find it, it would still be entry number 2517264 of 3157400. And even then, you wouldn't get to see the pictures.
In other words: From now on, my pictures will only be viewable by friends who I trust. So if you're not one of them... bye-bye!

- I am still gonna visit dA sometimes, logged on and all. But I'll be nothing more but a watcher and sometimes commentator from now on.
This also means, if you want to get in contact with me, you'll have to send me a note in which to ask for my instant messaging address on preferably MSN, otherwise ICQ or Skype. (Btw., just adding me without any notice of who you are will result in instant blocking. In other words: Brain-usage is mandatory in order to talk to me.)

- All your ideas and requests that I didn't finish yet are cancelled. Don't expect anything to happen with them anymore. Go ask someone else, if you still want them to be finished. Here, you have lost. Go home.



So what am I doing instead now? Well, take a guess. Nothing really, I'm still drawing, still chatting, still playing games.
I've become quite active in Maple Story Europe by the way. So if you got that game as well, maybe we'll cross paths someday... though you probably wouldn't even recognise me, if that happened.

I'll probably clean my contact lists in some time as well. So if you care about keeping in touch with me, you better START doing so.
If anyone who isn't on my contact list still wants to keep contact with me, go on, send a note.

HOWEVER, and that's final: I WON'T DO ANY REQUESTS, IDEAS, TRADES OR ANYTHING RELATED TO ANYONE BUT MYSELF DECIDING WHAT I AM SUPPOSED TO DO ANYMORE.
So if you just want to keep in touch because you're in need for new pics, thee shall vanish.



Well... that's it then. I think I said all the important things now.


Oh. And about what is still in my gallery... you may use it to gain some ideas for yourself.
My characters are allowed to be used in your pics, if you like them. But if so, please send me a note, so I can keep an overview of what any of my characters appeared in. (Just be aware that you probably won't receive any thanks or anything.)

If any further questions arise about my pics, send a note. Simple as that.



Well then. Time to finish this...

Finally, I want to thank you for your time. Thank you for your assistance in broadening my horizons, thank you for all the psychological help you gave me (or should I rather say: Thanks for keeping up with me?) and also a big thank you to all of you for helping me to develop my skills.

And since I'm already on it: Have a merry christmas, a happy new year and take good care of yourself~



Goodbye everyone!~

This journal contains my rules for "requests"... or as I will call them from now on: "ideas".


Q: Who can "request" pictures?
A: Everyone who got a good idea for a picture.


Q: What can be "requested"?
A: Except for the usual "+18-scenes" and "VanGogh-masterpieces" and whatever, almost everything can be requested.
But don't think this would be awesome, since I can still decide to just ignore what you want later on... read further to find out why.


Q: How do you handle "requests" in general?
A: I put all the "requests" I get on a list with infinitive numbers of slots. Theoretically, this can become a list with 218957198 entries. However, if your "request", or "idea" is put on the list, you definetily can NOT be certain that you will get a picture from me.

If your idea is on the list, there'll be nothing happening at first. For hours, days, weeks, months or even years, your idea will stay on the list. Then, someday, I finally get the urge to draw this certain idea, so I draw it, probably colorate and shade it and upload it. Then, your idea vanished from the list again.

However, wether I actually finish the picture anyday or don't is completely up to my mood. Maybe your idea will vanish from the list someday, even though I didn't finish the picture of it... this will happen every time, when I don't like your idea at all and don't think I'll ever finish it in an acceptable period of time from this certain day on.

In other words: You can only give me ideas for pictures and hope I'll draw a pic of it. If I like your picture-idea, if I like you or if the weather is nice, it will always depend on my mood wether you get a picture or not.

Also, I might decide to work on your picture, but upload it as non-finished... then, the picture of your idea will be uploaded as a sketch, drawing or whatever... it's all up to my mood.


Q: I don't want a sketch or something like that. I either want the picture colorated, shaded and completed or I don't want it at all. What do you think about that?
A: Sure. Tell me your wish when you tell me your idea. If you want a completed picture, say so. If you want a picture that is AT LEAST colorated, tell me. And also, if you don't want a colorated and shaded and completed piece of art, but just a drawing, tell me. (This is probably interesting to you, if you are one of the people who like to colorate/shade but don't like to draw.)

But remember: More effort I have to put into a picture equals a lesser chance of your idea being worked on and turned into a picture. So use this option carefully.


Q: I want my idea to be turned into a picture by you with a 100% chance. How can I accomplish this?
A: You can't. Simple.


Q: How can I get my idea onto the list?
A: Comment on this journal and include the following information:
- Shown scene
The shown characters, what they are doing, the background, other things, more other things, etc. Just tell me your idea.
For characters: Don't forget to give me useful REFERENCE-PICTURES! I can't draw things I have never seen or heard about, right?
- Appreciated status
If you want your picture to be finished "drawing or better" or "completed" or "not colorated" or something, tell me. If you don't, you accept that your picture can be "finished" and uploaded either as a sketch, a completed picture with background and whatnot, or something in between.
Possible options are sketch, lineart, colorated, shaded and completed.



Q: What about art-trades / collabs?
A: Art-trades and collabs are treated differently than requests/ideas. Though it's still completely up to my mood there, I will probably accept one... but only if I decide that you're trustworthy.
And that automatically means... not everyone can ask for a trade/collab. I'd rather ask you for one than that I would accept YOU asking for one... if you know what I mean.

Idea: Once again, wanted to colorate pics and she had the sketches. (8 April 2008)
Own part: Coloration/Shading/Background
Comments: Many problems at understanding certain parts of the picture... though I guess it's okay now. Was a nice idea for a costume, so I chose this sketch from the many that Chaos has sent me.
