7/9: Well, I know I've just returned, and it feels great to be back -- I've made two new friends, got reacquainted with old ones, and even got to participate in Canon Month/Day. I had fun!

But now, I've been inspired to really pick up what I was planning to do at least two years ago: learn guitar. A few friends and I are planning on acting out several episodes (as many as we can) of our favorite anime, and one of those episodes involves a band. I not only have to learn to play to avoid faking it (we all have to learn, honestly), but I want to be able to do something that's solely MY field. Other friends draw. Other friends role-play. Other friends write. And all of those friends also have something that THEY can do. That none of their friends can do. One can make AMVs and music videos. Another is an amazing gamer. Yet another is a great computer whiz. I feel left out, you know? It REALLY sounds selfish to me, but I wouldn't mind hearing something like "Oh, wow, I wish I could do that! How long did it take you to learn?" instead of "Oh, that looks great! I wish I do that particular branch of this field, too!"

It's a big difference to me, and it'd just feel a lot better to be something unique, instead of something above-average, you know?

So, basically, I'm being selfish and pursuing something that puts me on-par with my friends -- where we can all do two or three basic things that unite us, but we all have at least one specific thing that makes us different. It'd be like a snowflake. A center made up of several shapes, and outer edges of maybe one or two slightly different shapes. A bit of variety, but a whole lot of unity.

Does that make any sense? I certainly hope so, because it does to me, even it is a bit mean...

So, I'm not going away forever. I'm just not going to be uploading for a while, until I can at least meet basic goals -- basically, being able to play something that remotely sounds like the songs I want to play. Enough to make me think that it's not hopeless and that I can really learn it. Enough to give me a really strong safety net. Please feel free to IM me or e-mail me if you want to talk to me! I would love to hear from my friends, and I really don't want anyone to think that I'm leaving them. My messengers are provided below, and my e-mail is rabidsyndrome@aol.com. Okay! So, I'll be seeing you all later, then! Take care!

I'm also on deviantART. I'm here: http://korogaiku.deviantart.com/ Say hi!

Yaaay for page updates! I was randomly inspired to make a new page layout. Until said layout comes, you'll just haveta deal with this sorry mess I stuffed into the icons-slots for now. x3

View the list of important gibberish! VIEWIT!

Pet Peeves: --Superiority. We're all here for the same reason, so why do we have to resort to name-calling and flaming? If you want someone to improve, offer suggestions. Spotted Matriarch opened my eyes to this one.
--Off-Topic. We all do it from time-to-time, but a whole gallery of creatures that aren't big-cat-like in any way is sort of a bad thing to see on the site. To be honest, I don't mind diversity, but you've got to keep the general ideas here.
--Ignorance. Just because someone has a different style than you doesn't mean you can ignore their work. It could very well be just as grand as yours or better. Mizan opened my eyes to this.
--Art theft. I don't understand why people claim others' artwork. If you adore someone's work, ask if they'll let you use it on a page. If you like their style, try to talk to them and ask for tips or hints. If you don't think you can draw, practice~. There are thousands of drawing guides, books, tutorials, and styles to use. Shape those into your own style and have something to really be proud of.

I have more, but these are the big ones. Please contact me if there are any problems or comments that evolve from this. I'm a pretty nice person, methinks. If you want to talk about any of this or suggest things, don't hesitate to talk! I'm a real chatterbox. :33

...

I think I had a fall-back, here. This looks more like my earlier pictures than it does my new stuff, and I DON'T KNOW WHY. -hairtug- I think I might be artblocky. That's my only real idea for this. .__.; 'Cause it took forever to get a decent sketch started for him and took even longer to finish it. Really, it's not the best, and I'm far from happy with it, but it works for now, I suppose..

This is the little Simba-look-a-like Latraviata has on the Trading Tree. His design is quite possibly gonna go under some more coloring experiments, because I'm not sure I like this. :/ And I made his tail too short. Ears are too long too..

He'll be named Shian if I get him. .__.; I really wanna fix this up. SOOO many things wrooong!

The finished picture of Rixor, a friend's Kingdom Hearts original in his Pride Land form. The lineart I posted on here yesterday was this before I added the hair and color. Read the lineart's image description for more detail.

You'll see this image one more time, and that's when I settle on a wild dog design I like for my own. Sorry for the repetition! I have a whole hoard of new ideas for picture (and maybe an animation or two) so sit tight and I'll get to them as soon as I can.

The adoptable Ice_lion has on the trading tree. I would have had this uploaded sooner, but there was a canvas-sizing error on the first picture I tried to draw that totally decimated it and made me draw another one. RAWR. Anyway. If I DO get him, he'll be Vengar's ally and slightly-annoying follower. Always perky and goofy. Drives Vengar crazy. xDD

Anywaay. There's the application picture, redone. x.@ -fingercross-

The minni Crysa the Liger designed for me. :33 He's absolutely GORGEOUS, Crysa~! I promise to take real good care of him. He was super-fun to draw, so I don't think there'll be any problems with getting me to draw him again and again. <3

The twin lions Mizan has on the Trading Tree, Rueben and Rainie. I made a list of what made them different so I could make the picture as correct as possible. Took a lot of work, lemme tell you. Rueben is on the left, Rainie is on the right. I really hope I'm worthy enough to get them. I already have a story in mind. o.o Several, actually... xD It's all up to Mizan, though.

The birthday present for my awesome friend, Jessie~ :3 I designed her a fursona a while back, and since I... can't really draw people at all, I drew her the fursona again. :3 She was really happy with it, so that made me uber-happy. x3

A spare fursona I made. Nukta's a white-and-black cheetah (I guess you call 'em snow cheetahs. I'unnu.) and he's got hair based on Axel from Kingdom Hearts (NOT the same, though!) His hair isn't normally that big. Whoops. Ain't he awesome, though?

Someone asked me to design them a fursona, and this was a result. A clouded leopard with eyes and hair like hers and a Celtic-style necklace and bracelet around the tail. (Squint. They're there.)

Another Kovu profile-shot. This is the first one I mentioned previously; the one I had in my notebook forever and ever due to a dead scanner. I colored it the best I could and couldn't resist making the mane look a bit more realiztic since the mane-shading in TLK is impossible for me to recreate. This was done with at least three reference-screenshots and the color was eyedropped. All in all, it looks fairly decent, don't you think? (I think I'm going to stick to my style of shading for a while, though...)

This is one of the pictures on that huge-o list I have up. My main focus now is to finish the other two or three I have waiting to be colored (especially the color sheets) and my trade with spotted matriarch.

An adoptable from Lovely Wolves I was interested in having. I know that she said that this lioness might not be given up, but she was too pretty not to at least draw. o.o I'm in love with the design and I think I could come up with a really good story for her. But I'll leave the decision up to Lovely Wolves.

EDIT: Forgot the copyright for the picture on this one.

Another character I wish to adopt, this time from Gaara the Sand Demon. I absolutely LUV his colors and the detail on him. (Because of said details, this picture took me about 2-3 hours. xDD) But I had fun with it. And I even drew it on PAINT 'cause I wanted to. Shading and all. To those artists who use Paint for their pictures, I salute you!

Anyhoodle. If I do get this character, I'm probably gonna name him Kiraka. (Roughly means "spot" in Swahili. :3)

Sun Rei's valentine request! It's for her sister, Amaya. :3 If you can't read the text, it says:
I Know You Hate It But I Gotta Say:
I Hope You Have a Wonderful Valentine's Day

It's a bit delayed, and for that I scream, cry and beg for forgiveness. .___. I kept forgetting that my scanner didn't work... And tablets aren't nice when it comes to 3D object attempts.

Lakshmi, a Kougra I once had on neopets. Since that site's behind me now and I've been having the teeny-tiny problem with drawing him lately, I've decided to make him a character for my TLK stories. I can even mix the other characters I owned in here, if I do it right.

Anywho, comments and criticism are much appreciated!

For those of you who read Toca's character description, this would be the Nakama he's helping out. Isn't she so cuddly? xD

I apologize for the long absense, though. Things have been rough so don't expect a lot of uploads from me. Sory. ;.;
