So basically...

I realized that most of the posts on this blog have been blatant self-promotion. And who wants to watch a blog about that? I'll start talking about fun stuff a little more.

Well, here goes a tentative journal entry:

Got back from New York a few days ago from visiting my big sister at college. I'm sooooo exhausted! It was fun while I was there, but the plane rides to and from were brutal. I at least got a bit farther in Dragon Quest IX.

Right now I'm working on making some bullet hell games with Danmakufu, but I'm not so good at the whole coding thing. But still, I figure that if I ever want to be a game developer, I need to start learning early, right? So I'm gonna work harder.

Also considering getting a job at the local movie theater. But who am I kidding, I'm not really going to get a job. That's just... I don't get jobs. That's not "me."

I really wanna do some more posts about drawing. I need some feedback for those, though. What do you guys want to see? More theory, or more practice?

Anyway, off to eat gummy bears and do other moderately fun things. See you guys, I really appreciate the feedback!

Started a Helium Account...

For all the bad things I've heard about Helium, it actually seems pretty nice.

While I'm depending on another website for real income, Helium seems like a great hobby to rake in a few extra cents here or there.

I earned my first penny today! And hell, writing what was practically a journal entry about Astid? Yeah, baby!

Anyway, if you want to see my posts on Helium, check them out here.

If you're interested in writing at Helium, let me know and I'll drop you a referral email (it'd help you and me out a ton).

I'll probably write a review of the service in a few months, whether or not my earnings take off. But with ten articles on my first two days, I think this is gonna be a pretty nice working relationship.

I got a capture card! + New Arts!

As the title obviously states...

I GOT A CAPTURE CARD! :D WOOHOO!

Basically what that means is I can record video directly from my television. I can do all sorts of things for Youtube now. If you want to see what it can do, just check out this short video I posted a few days ago:



Speaking of Youtube, I've also posted a ton of new art. If you're interested, check out this video for some tidbits of what I've been doing (warning: the sound is a bit loud!):



I want to post some drawing tutorials in the future, though I'm not really good enough. What do you think?

Also, please comment and subscribe! I haven't had many of those yet, and I really appreciate the feedback. Don't forget to comment on the blog, too--it's good to know that people are actually reading it.

As it turns out, this blog is becoming about art. Funny, huh?

Anyway, check out the Youtube and everything. =) I love you guys! If you have any ideas on what you'd like to see posted on the blog or what might be interesting to see, let me know. I'm always scratching my head for ideas.

My Etsy Site!

So I got some pendants set up on Etsy a while ago and thought I'd let you guys know about them. The pictures were blown up on Etsy's site--just click on the picture on the listing to get the actual size.

Anyway, some of my stuff is on my new widget on the left of the blog. Check them out! They're handmade so they don't cost a lot.

I've also been working on some rings. I just love making rings! It's so fun. There are so many simple designs you can do that turn out looking great.

Anyway, that's all for now. I'll see you guys soon!
