Okay, so this is like my first journal entry in a little over a month. I really sorry I haven't been around so much, but school is really stressing me out at the moment. I will try to be around at least a bit, 'cause I love supporting you guys and getting feedback on my work.

I'm uploading a new deviation as I'm writing this, so it should be up in a bit. I'm also going to go through any outstanding messages today, and I'll start commenting on some art as well! However, I don't like the idea of going through the 446 deviations that've been building up for a few weeks, so I'm going to mass delete everything and start over.

I'm sure there was something else I wanted to say, but I've forgotten now... I'll update this if I remember


Omg what the fuck is wrong Microsoft!? I write out all this crap and then stupid piece-of-shit Internet Explorer crashes... Then, despite the fact that I copied what I'd done, it wouldn't paste. Why can't they make something that works for once!? And they'd better refund the hairbrush I just threw across the room and snapped in two as well.
Anyway, I'm calm now..
This was at the top, but I moved it to the bottom so people don't think I have anger issues when they see this entry in the message bit.




(same features as last time sorry)

*this is kind of long so you can just skip to the features if you want*

Okay, so I took a little break from deviantart for about 10 or so days while I thought about some things, but I'm back now (well, yesterday.. or the day before :S). The main reason I took a break was becuase I was finding everything on deviantart to be too much of a chore, such as commenting/favouriting etc. I thought a solution would be to take some people off my watch list, and then it would be easier to get through them, and I could start enjoying things again. However, I did a poll asking whether or not to feel guilty and the general consensus seemed to be that it's okay, if they don't post or post too much. But those weren't really the problem, the ones I wanted to get rid of were the people who I didn't think did that great art. I considered asking if that was acceptable but I didn't bother because I knew I'd feel guilty either way. But anyway, I did some thinking about how I was going to handle things, and I think I've got everything sorted in my own mind now. I does mean I might do more faving and running now, but hopefully not too much, and only when I get too far behind.

Which leads me on to my next point (although I doubt if anyone's still reading by now ), I start school on monday, doing my first year of A Levels. It will probably mean less activity here for the start while I get used to things, and as I find out how much work there will be. But I should be settled soon enough and be active again, possibly more active if I can come on here during free periods. Again though, depends on how much work I have, so I might not be able to.

Also, I got my GCSE results last week, and I did pretty well (although I could've done better), so I've been really happy all week. Hopefully it'll last until I start school again. Then I'll probably go back to being depressed.

You may have noticed (or not) that I haven't been around much, if at all, for the last few days. Well, I have actually been around, but I haven't commented, replied, faved etc. since I really needed a break from all that (although I have still been looking at everyone's art ) Anyway, I'm back now (for the most part), and I'm working on a manip which I should submit soon.


Okay, does anyone know how to make a brush fade in? I can make it fade out which is great, but it would be really useful for making hair strands blend in if it faded in as well. Is there an option for this, or a custom brush I could use? I know I can do it with a tablet but it's really hard lol. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!




Same features as last time, sorry..

Not much news to speak of.. I'm working on a manipulation which I'll probably upload tomorrow (or mabye today if I finish it soon)!

Also, updated my journal CSS so it's now blue! Well actually I changed it a while ago but I haven't written about it yet.

Hmm can't think of anything else.. oh well..

Yay! So I'm back off holiday! I was actually back on Friday, but I wanted to take a couple of extra days off deviantart.
It didn't end up being the best holiday ever, especially with it raining on most days so we couldn't really do a lot. A got a few photos for stock images though, so I'll upload those soon.
ALSO, I got a new camera! So I can take some better images now (maybe some more usable ones)


*The first images are the entries, others are my favourites from their gallery*


*No new features as I haven't favourited anything since last time *
