Decided that I'd make the ol' journal partially Friends Only. No real reason other than I find some old posts to be really old and irrelevant, but don't want to delete them.

All art, excepting mature art, will be open to everyone. Mature art posts, personal real life posts, and rants will be kept under lock and key.

So, I signed up for the .hack series (well, originally //G.U., but nobody had .hack for ANYTHING, so I got the whole caboodle) on fanart50. I've only just decided I may as well get my prompt table up so I can start working on it and linking to it.

( The Prompt Table )

Sorry for the last post for those who saw it, I am doing a lot better now. Thank you again for your kind thoughts and encouragement. It helped a lot. <3

So, today I had my interview with an admissions representative from the Art Institute of Seattle. The night before, I went through the packet materials that were sent to me to figure out what questions I might have, and wrote them down so as not to forget them. Then there was the interview itself today, which turned out to be very informative. The application process is considerably less frightening now, and I'm really excited about the possibility of going to school again. I just need to write up an essay to go with my application and send it over with my transcripts and a check for the fee, and I'm good to go until I can fill out my FAFSA.

I'm so excited about starting college. I feel I've missed out a lot in the last four years out of college, and want to make up for it. Most of all, I'm really happy that I might finally be able to really improve on my art, since there are a lot of art classes to be taken.

Here's to hoping everything works out well! XD

Hello! In an effort to fill my LJ with actual content that folks are actually vaguely interested in, and because I realized I have a huge backlog of stuff from my last sketchbook, I've decided to dump some of the better looking doodles on here.

Check it out behind the cut. Most of it consists of doodles of my character Amalthea from Final Fantasy XI.

( Warning, very image heavy. Dial-Up beware. )

I should probably check my other sketchbooks to see what goodies I might have left unscanned. In the mean while, enjoy!

Wow, it's been a while, hasn't it? How have you all been? I've been in a lot of places, although for the most part excluding this one and Gaia Online. Just haven't had the drive to post anything new as of late.

( Cut for potential rambling and nonsense )

By the way, I may start to friends-lock certain entries, or hide them altogether as they are now really old and irrelevant, or very personal and should have been under a friends-lock in the first place. I am uncertain whether certain art I have drawn will be put under a friends-lock or not. We'll see how that works out.

This is Ushi, signing out!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY mikkeneko!

I LOVE YOU LONG TIME, LIKE ALL MY FRIENDS.

Dumped the present on you in chat. Just let me know if you need the link for it again! <3

If I added you just recently, I'm not trying to be creepy or anything, I just wanted to be able to know when your birthday came up so I can give you a gift on time as opposed to, oh, two months afterward when I finally find out. XD

If it's a problem, just let me know. ;D

So, been bored lately, and trying to get myself to draw more. Good thing that there's stuff like Dissidia: Final Fantasy out there. I've never seen so many bunnies in my room since, well, never. On a whim while perusing the entries in the Dissidia comm ffchaoticcosmos, I decided to try out a request that wounded_melody had for some art. Too bad the art I did sucked so much, but WHATEVER. XD

( Doodles, can I have them? )

Hmm, been a while since I've posted. I guess I'll just talk about something that is of great interest to me at the moment, that being MMORPGs. Now, I'm not gonna discuss anything about WoW, because I am a cheap ass and haven't even played WoW. Nevermind my current (and possibly eternal) subscription to PlayOnline.

( Look! Nonsensical rambling! )

But enough of that. Time for an art dump! Warning, though, it's image heavy, so those with a slow connection, you click at your own risk.

( WHOO, PICTURES. )

Okay, I give up. I can't take it anymore. I see no point in trying to resist the inevitable.

( I'm such an idiot for even trying, really... )

Here are just a few doodles I've done, and one really, really crappy animation. XD

( Obviously, you can tell what I've been watching on the internet lately. )

Here's something for a friend, sink_or_swim, who's been having it rather rough as of late. It all culminated into a bunch of fail on DA's part last night, and I haven't seen her online since.

So, I drew her a piccie to cheer her up. If it doesn't cheer her up, it will at least most certainly rape her childhood, but in a totally good way, honest. XD

Dommi, this is for you!

( Because I don't like seeing you upset, even though you have good reason too. )

A friend on chat, whom although I am not entirely familiar with, was feeling really down due to a big nasty butt buster in real life. So, to make her feel better, I drew this. :D

For once, it's totally work safe, and not entirely crack!

This won't help make the turd face go away, but I hope it makes your day brighter, Rayn. :)

( Roy/Ed fluff, indeed. )

Keep your chin up, and don't let stupid people get you down! We're with you all the way, even if we can't physically be by your side.

Or not. Or, perhaps yes, for Haseo. Haseo, being the guild captain for Canard, must degrade himself to lure in prospective members.

At least, that's what Gaspard and Silabus say. They're too busy taking screenshots to bother with your questions on the matter, though.

It's relatively worksafe, but totally NOT BRAIN SAFE.

Then again, this varies from brain to brain, so yeah.

( You know he likes it. )

It's Haseo from .Hack//G.U., a game that I've started playing recently. I've played //Infection up to the end, but have never finished it, much less played the following three games afterwards. I've never bothered to watch the anime or read the manga for it, but I have read a rather amusing parody of //Roots, at the recommendation of a friend.

Because of this aforemented individual, I'm also obsessing over //G.U.

Most particularly, Haseo, his pants, and the butt that rests within them.

*shifty eyes*

I totally did not just type that.

Anyways, here is one of many sketches I've done, but I've actually inked and shaded this one! :D It's rather cruddy, and I'm not sure if I'm ever going to color it. I totally fudged up the tattoos, as well as the pants.

However, for once I am satisfied with how the face and hair turned out. That's usually where I mess up the most.

( Haseo, doing what he does best: being sexy. )

This is just a little thingy that I doodled. It's poorly done, but meh, I got tired of trying to make everything pretty. Laziness prevails! For velvet_mace. ;D

It's PG-13, but there's no actual nudity/explicit stuff, just hinted at. It's four pages, so those with a slow connection should be wary.

It's Uke!Roy crack. :D

( Crack kills, you know. )

I've been sick lately, and video games and the internet haven't really interested me much, and reading has been making it a bit worse... So, what do I do besides sleeping to pass the time?

I draw yaoi, of course. For sink_or_swim, who requested Archer.

Kimbley's just there because he wanted to be, the bastard. XD

( Read more... )

*topples over out of chair, but is happy*

And now, I'll finally upload some original stuff. Beware for the crappiness that ensues...

Oi, I wish I were better at drawing original costumes. >.< However, to compensate for this, there is more crack FMA art in the beginning. Again, this crack is not brain safe, but is entirely work safe.

A big warning, though, it's very image heavy...

( And it seems Havoc is the only male here... Hmm... )

For reasons that even I myself don't quite understand, this little bunny spontaneously jumped and attacked me while I was looking at various videos on Youtube for a game called Elite Beat Agents. Saw that the song "Y.M.C.A." was on there, and checked it out.

Then, I started looking at all these other Village People videos, and the bunny just up and jumped me when I went on Church of Elric to chat.

Thus, I bring you crack, in it's finest, all inked and... uh, inked, and rather messy and icky.

And yet, everyone still seems to love Alphonse the most. How does he do it?

( Now that I think of it, I don't think many people, if any, actually hate him... )

Ah, well, after spending so long OFF of LJ, I decided to chat with some folks that I used to either regularly hang out with or talk to, so I went to #ChurchofElric on IRC. Noticed a lot of familiar faces, as well as many new ones. After about thirty minutes, my mojo got going and I drew all this stuff, both last night and today.

This is more than I've drawn in the past month combined, methinks. Gah, I'm such a lazy artist. T_T

All but a few which I'll post towards the end are worksafe. The ones that are slightly questionable are of young zoofic!Ed, Al, and Envy, although I am aware that they are not supposed to be furries.

They just looked cuter with the ears. *shifty eyes*

( It's picture heavy, so be warned, those with dail-up. )
