Today marks the 200th day of my, er, I guess you could call it a posting spree. It started on February 15th, and I originally planned on it lasting a whole year. But let's face it; I have enough trouble thinking up something to draw almost every day, so I really don't want to force myself to do it for 365. It's been a mostly great 200 days, believe me, but it is a little stressful making myself do this. Oftentimes, I completely forget. Anyway, just saying, thanks for sticking around. c:
So, what does the completion of this challenge mean? It means I'm done here. As in, I no longer want this account. The name is dumb and I really want to move on. It took me a while to think of what my new account name should be, and I tried various ones that all ended up being taken. Since I couldn't come up with something fancy-shmancy, I decided to go with my real name. I mean, my real name is actually kinda cool. c:

Themes and Things
3 min read
Toss random themes at me, please. I have 11 images lined up to be posted, then after that, I want 22 themes to wrap up this one-a-day thing. So just give me random words, really. And preferably single words, not phrases. I was actually considering doing the 30 Days of Homestuck challenge thing, but WHOOPS not enough days now. This is a good thing.

frost, spring, fabric, lemon, door, escalate, surprise, dirt, masquerade, sparkling, fireworks (11)

So, the past few days, I've been drawing a lot and actually liking the finished products. And yet, I'm still getting this intense feeling of inadequacy. How do you explain something like that without saying "you're depressed?" Because I really don't think I am. Maybe it's just my struggling artist psyche trying to bring me down from a high point. This is not a good thing.
Tomorrow is a big day. Actually, today is pretty big because I'm trying to prepare for tomorrow. It's not going so well because I'm a... lazy perfectionist. So I want something done just so, but I'm not really willing to put in the time and energy to make it that way. Anyway, if you've been following my gallery at all, you know about PlushQuest, my fail of an adventure that has been on hiatus more than it's been active. Well, tomorrow I'm taking another shot, but at something better planned-out -- both art-wise and story-wise. There's a couple images from it in my gallery, but not much to go on. I'm not going to explain it, though. But there is one problem with the whole thing... I haven't even logged onto the forum since the 11th (though it feels like much longer... ffff this month is so slow). I already hid out after the start date for this thing passed because I felt bad. Now I haven't even read anyone else's contributions pretty much since they started. However, I did explain to them I wouldn't be able to start until August, so it's not so bad... I'm still stupidly scared, though. orz This is all a rather bad thing.
I'm currently trying to work on a scene, but it's hard because I'm no good at buildings. I don't even know what I'm doing at this point. But I have to just keep going and finish it... Hopefully the readers will like it. Hopefully there will be readers... Okay, that, I admit, was a dumb thing to say because I know there will be readers. What I really hope is that I'm not too late. If I am, well, the plot might still be salvageable, but it will need a bit of a re-haul. If you haven't figured it out, it's a bit of a collaborative project. There are other people working on their own adventures, and they will cross over. This thing is problematic, but not horrible.

Nostalgic Voices of High School:
3 min read
Every Little Thing, TAKUI, Do As Infinity, Miyavi, and ELLEGARDEN.
Listened to an ELT song a little while ago that I never heard before, but I could totally see myself listening to it in high school. For a while, I played a lot of their music. Really mellow and cute-like. Also at the time, I was playing Harvest Moon a lot, so naturally I ended up subconsciously linking the two. So now whenever I hear Mochida's voice, I picture a little farmer running around in Friends of Mineral Town.
Back when Youtube was young, I tried searching TAKUI to no avail. A year or so later, though, I managed to find a few videos of songs I know and one or two I didn't. Just now, I watched my favourite of his, Calling You, which I hadn't been able to find back then. It brings back good memories. I really like his voice. I'm not sure entirely what it is about it, though.
Do As Infinity I, of course, found out by way of Inuyasha. But she has such a powerful voice that I just had to seek out albums. I had quite a collection going, and all of her songs were quite different from each other, which is certainly more than I can say about some English singers... (and ELT, ahahah) I love Raven. Something about that style and pattern of the song just attracts me. Oshan prefers Enrai, but personally, that one was way too slow and monotonous for me. I'll admit it's pretty, though.
Miyavi was one of my change-of-pace musicians. My playlists are generally poppy and cute, but he's generally not. But I like his deep voice, and he can do some pretty ballads if he wants. Unfortunately, I haven't listened to any of his stuff recently, and I can't even seem to name any songs off the top of my head that I enjoyed. There was one something kekkon and one coo quack cluck or something, ahahah. It was kinda funny, at the time, he came out with "Pop is Dead" and a while later, his stuff started sounding more poppy.
ELLEGARDEN sings mainly in English, but I like their accent and at times they almost sound like Simple Plan, but not near as whiny. My favourite is Starfish, which has managed to survive by way of a CD I made in high school. I used to have two or three albums, though, but who knows where those are. I can't seem to think of what the style is called, but I know it's one I like. Clear voice and awesome/funny/beautiful (depending on the song) lyrics. Oh, just remember I actually do know where a CD is that has a lot of ELLEGARDEN on it, plus DAI and other stuff.
Anyway, sorry, just felt like reminiscing. C:

Donation Pool
2 min read
I added one, so I'll put more information here.
Test: mewchild.deviantart.com/#donat…
I want a premium for myself and/or PuraKura.
I pretty much just set the goal at 10,000 randomly.
It's enough for both upgrades, plus some to donate to others, maybe. C:
Or I could just stop it after I get enough, whatever.
Anyway, I'll take chibi inked commissions for however many points you feel like giving me.
Just realise that the less you give me, the less time I'll probably spend on it. ;3
But that doesn't really mean I'll half-ass it.
So post references here or in a note, and I'll get started as long as you have donated something. c:
Of course, you can also donate without getting a commission... 8D
I put it down below the galleries to balance the page a bit.
I wish DA were more customisable.
Like, you know, putting widgets wherever the heck I please. :I
Or is that possible with a premium?
Sometimes I wish I didn't have to include a mood. :I
