:D New Project!!

Journal Entry: Sat Dec 1, 2007, 12:13 PM
  • Mood: Sympathy
  • Listening to: The humming of the lab computers....
  • Watching: Other people work...
  • Playing: Subeta, Misticpets, and Raphexion...
  • Eating: nothing till 12... X_X;;
  • Drinking: Cooooke X3....
Wow, this computer is really laggy. Stupid internet... I am in the computer lab again >.> I hate dorm net.... Mehhh..

Well the semester is nearly over :3. 3 days of class left, then finals. I'll be home next tuesday :D my friend KC's bday, incidentally... I wanna make her a piccy XD but no promises, seeing how finals are here and all that jazz.

I am still suffering from this damnable cough @_@;;... I think I have bronchitis. Had it for 2+ weeks. GOAWAYCOUGH! D:<

[link] opened this week :3. It has beautiful art and really nice designs. There is not a lot to do yet; there are 3 LE pets and I think 9 'normal' ones. There are a few games, but mostly you get money by random events ^^;; but more is coming soon!!! Sign up now while usernames and pet names are up for grabs and things are just starting up ;)! I really have high hopes for it! Like other pet sites, it is completely free to play, of course XD!

[link] if you sign up, use that link :3 pleeease? It's a referral and will help me if you sign up under it ^^. And remember--only one account XD! I'm 'akarui' on the site, as I am in most ^^.

Well something dramatic happened the other day [as if my life isn't chaotic enough!]. The 2 main programmers working for Daxitove left, Cory and Shane. They ran the site when the owner wasn't around and did a majority of the admin work. They left to create their own site after discussing it. Frazzled by the decreasing staff, Blitz left as well, deciding to wash her hands in Daxitove completely, taking all her art with her. Incidentally, Drae, another staff artist, 'donated' her art to Shane and Cory, leaving my at Dax with pets I can't use [they are going to use the images they did meaning my 'colors' are usless]. After hours of deliberation, I decided to leave, for I would have to start from scratch, my time wasted. David [the owner] was very distressed of course, but he just doesn't have the time to run a site right now. I hope he forgives me for leaving. I've been very distressed over the whole thing.

However, on the bright side, Shane offered me a paying job at his site, and I have taken it. I am working on commission; the pay is 'low' but fair, considering I was working for free at Daxitove [I am not complaining though; it's mostly for fun anyways]. We're still working out the ';price' but I really don't care what it is. Once it opens and does well, they will likely pay the artists more [depending on the size of the staff].

I have high hopes for this new site, which for now is being called Raphexion [link] because Shane and Cory seem to have a good grip on what they want. With concrete ideas and already so much art to start with, the site holds a promising future. As of right now the plan is that I shall do pets and npc's, and maybe help with the writing, which is what I wanted. I can take a breath, not feel rushed, and work diligently while I gain experience in digital art and this unique style of illustration.

I work for pet sites for fun as well as to get my art 'out there'. It can be stressing like any 'job', but I feel it is worth it, because along the way I meet great people, help begin a place where artists and others can come be inspired and create their own worlds, and learn how to better communicate with others and collaborate efforts and how to work in this very unique media.

If anyone is interested in Raphexion, check it out at [link] and try out for staff ^^. We're very new so we are looking for most any form of staff, including artists [pet/item/banner/buttons/map/etc--MAP artists are really important since I can't do maps well XD], admins, writers, etc... Basically anything XD. There will be standards of course, but anyone is welcome to put in an application ^^ and I would be happy to talk about it further. Check the forums there or the blog for more information and sneak peaks :3.

I am going to have to leave soon ;.; stupid advanced design class requires a lot of work.. Plus I am working on some new art for the site [more colors/pets/etc] :3. I shall keep you guys updated. Sadly I don't have a lot of 'me' time writing-wise, but should you wish for me to post the prose/poetry I do for my classes, I shall do so ^^.

Love you :D!

It is true, the easy and the hard paths are crooked, but only one will lead you to the place you wish to be.

Check out my gallery, crit is much appreciated.

Hi. I added your work to my favorites on my other DA page, SilverRoseJewelry, by accident because I thought that I was logged into this page. I try to keep my other page more for jewelry whereas this one is for illustration. So if it looks like “SilverRoseJewelry” removed a favorite, I really didn’t because I was meaning to add it to my favorites on this page. I just wanted to say that I love your work and am sorry for the mix up. ^_^
