ACTIVE WATCHER CHECK.

I have made a new dA account.
Active watchers, please add me again!

I will no longer be posting new deviations to this account. However, I will continue to check my messages from time to time.

Seriously.

Do you take joy in claiming other peoples' art as your own? You just can't just slap on a "this took me this long (e.g. 1 month)" and claim a copyrighted picture as something that you've made yourself, then bitch about it. Fuck. IT'S STEALING. Would you walk into Wal-Mart and steal a flat screen TV? That's how obvious you're making the entire thing look. The only person you're hurting is yourself. Can your own skills really be so horrible? PRACTICE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. What good is empty praise? Just shut your mouth and upload your own art. People spend SO MUCH time making their own art. It takes a lot of planning and dedication. Try it sometime. Hell, it's hard work, but you feel so much better in the end.

No, I'm not aiming this at any of my watchers. I'm just sick of finding new dA members blatantly smearing the rules across the floor. There are rules and guidelines for a reason. Follow them or get kicked out or bitched at by the people that are doing things the right way.

That is all.

Right, so I'm not dead. I've just had a serious lack of muse and self-motivation lately. It seems like everything I try to draw or color turns out, in my opinion, horrible. I hope all of you guys can understand and are willing to help me get out of this horrendous slump I have pulled myself into.

The first 10 people who comment on this journal will get a sketch, free.

HOWEVER, in return, you must offer 10 free sketches in your own journal. If you've already done 10 Free Sketches, simply link the journal entry in your comment... You still qualify..

------------------------------------------
(Naturally, since I am busy high school senior the free sketches will range from simple to complex based on my choosing, since I have very limited time nowadays)

EDIT: Okay, we've got a winner! The lucky winner is !

Sketch finished!
(Waiting to scan it...Will do lineart and coloring when possible)
Progress:   



Okay, so you guys may (or may not) have noticed that I haven't been submitting much or taking days to reply to your messages. Yeah, my laptop died quite a white ago and I'm thinking about sending it back to HP because it's still under warranty. My poor Mimiru...;__;

Perchance, anyone know what's wrong with her? At first she started freezing and locking up when I listened to music, then a continuous "BEEEEEEEEP" would start. Everything would lock up, the mouse wouldn't move, and I couldn't pull up task manager. In order to shut it off I had to force it.

Now it does that locking and beeping thing pretty much all the time. Soooo...yeah. Sorry if any of you were expecting something new from me, I really do feel bad. T_T


And another thing!
It's dangerously close to my KIRIBAN. Only a handful of page views left to go! Who will be the lucky winner?!
Since my laptop is dead, though, I can only offer a sketch for the prize (for now!). As soon as Mimiru is fixed I will be able to make a colored version to accommodate for the crappy sketch. n_n';


Good luck, everyone!
