@vdr-07:

I'm sorry... =v.v=

@Kitty K.O.:

XDD haha thne I shall wait XP....

@vdr-07:

It's not at the top of my list atm, though. orz I have at least 3 other things to do, first. X3;;

@Kitty K.O.:

Oh my really Kitty??? haha then I'm sure the completed version is going to look even better!:D

@vdr-07:

Thanks a bunch, but this is an incomplete version. XD;; I haven't gotten around to finishing it, yet. orz

hehe i once tried to draw him but I think i failed XDD he has a lot of details and he looks amazing in your version Kitty!!!

@Wakusei Aoshi:

It was terrible... orz *sobs*

Yup. That's exactly it. There were never any bugs... It was all in your head... XDD lmao j/k j/k

@Kitty K.O.:

O.O You inhaled a fly!? That sounds terrible! TT^TT

I think I accidentally inhale random bugs up my nose from time to time because I feel something go up there...O.o I dunno, I'm just paranoid....XD

@Wakusei Aoshi:

It would've been better if it had transformed into a hot guy afterwards... Would've made me feel better... XD;; I also got pecked by one of those small beetles XD The ladybug was like "Hey! How dare you kiss her, I kissed her first!" XDD BWAHAHAHA! XDDD Oh gosh, I guess that's worse than the time I inhaled a fly when I was 4, I think XD;; I was traumtized for a while XDDD

@Kitty K.O.:

Ahah, wow, that's...gross...? I got a gnat in my eye on time and it was squirming...TT^TT I guess that's while my eyes water when I think about bugs...TT^TT Especially gnats...

@Wakusei Aoshi:

Gosh, those cute little things? XD They don't look like beasts to me XDD I'll admit they catch your attention when they start hitting the walls/ceiling, but they don't particularly scare me. XD One time I was walking to school and I started you sigh and when my lips puckered, a ladybug flew right at my mouth XD So I kissed a ladybug and when I realized it, I spit it out... it tasted like leaves XDDD LMAO

@Kitty K.O.:

...TT^TT I don't like lady bugs...they're loud and scary...They're always smacking the ceiling and I'm always hearing this clicking sound...TT^TT I think the one that was bugging me died, though...I think it got burned on the lamp because I stopped hearing the clicking sound and I couldn't find it on the ceiling....O.o But they have HUGE wings, they look like beasts, and then they settle down and you realize that they're these tiny little lady bugs...TT^TT

So scary...TT^TT

@Wakusei Aoshi:

Ahaha XD;;

I don't feel too happy about having my other lamp on when I have ladybugs in my room. I consider them good luck and I don't want them frying themselves, especially since for a brief period of time, I kept a ladybug named Leon for a while XD;; Yush, I named him. X3

Vacuuming is definitely thw ay to go, though =3

@Kitty K.O.:

I think she sleeps in there...O.o Not really sure, she didn't tell me much on the details, I just understood that it was really dirty.

I don't get any bugs in my room, except once I got a mosquito hawk...Which scared the crap out of me...TT^TT I try my best to get bugs away from me. I'm afraid of killing bugs, so I make my dad kill them all...I feel bad....but I can't help being frozen with fear and I have things to do...I've made a simple plan to keep another lamp on so that any extra bugs can go over there and away from me, but if there are a TON then I get my dad to vacuum them up because it looks really creepy....

And I think I just had a bug go up my nose...that or all this talk is getting to my head...I usually get a runny/itchy/stuffy nose, watery eyes, and itchy face whenever I think about them being near my face...TT^TT

@Wakusei Aoshi:

Ah well XD

Well, it's not that terrible... There are bugs, but just the average bugs you'd see crawling around your house, cuz they're sneaky like that. I leave most bugs to the spiders, though if they get on my bed, I instinctively flick them off... I don't like killing things, although I might try to squash a mosquito, but not with my bare hands, since I'm paranoid of getting bitten on my palms XD;;
Aha, yeah that'd make sense for her to clean it. (What's the point of having a room if you're never in there...? =o_O;=) I'm always in my room and since I have a laptop, I just have it on my bed with me =~w~= I need a new bookshelf, though because I bought a whole bunch of manga, but I'm running out of space to put them XD;;

@Kitty K.O.:

Yeahhh...That's why I have the same art on 3 different websites...:D

Yeahhh...>.> My parents are always bugging me about my bed not being done...but I don't see the point of straightening it if I'm going to mess it up again...O.o

Oh, that's not good...O.o I went to one of my friend's houses and it was...disgusting for me...TT^TT It was really messy AND really dirty and there were cob webs everywhere...I was kinda scarred for that, now I'm afraid of going to anybody's house in my area...TT^TT (All the other times I went to people's houses they were really clean, but that was in El Paso....TT^TT)...And my other friend never cleans her room and she says there's nuts and bolts and random things in her bed and several large bugs all over her room, but she can't find them so she can't kill them...She says she doesn't clean it because she never goes in there...but I say she should clean it and then it'll stay clean since she never does go in there...O.o

I rarely go into my room...maybe when I'm bored to pet my kitty...But then I go back into my living room to get on the computer...

@Wakusei Aoshi:

Traditional art might be easier to save than digital art, though you have to worry about it getting messed up if it's not in a safe spot. Yeah, that's not such a good idea, since there's a possibility it could get lost online in case something happens to the site. *shrugs*

Really, when people say your room isn't clean, they really refer to the fact it's not organized. You could have just wiped the entire room from floor to ceiling, but if things aren't properly stacked, people are going to say it's dirty... Unfortunately, my room's both messy and dirty... XD;; I was thinking about cleaning it tomorrow X3;;

@Kitty K.O.:

I have a lot of art left over, actually, so all my deleting doesn't really do much...O.o There are several pictures I finish. I keep old traditional art, but I throw away digital art if I've already posted it (though that might be a bad idea...O.o; ). But I throw away any stuff I get from school at the end of school and I only keep my best stuff...Like if I have some random art that I just drew because I felt like drawing something and it looks like crap even for that time of my life, I throw it away.

My house is actually pretty clean. My mom SAYS my room is dirty, but most of it is my blankets on the floor, art supplies (I have a TON of art supplies), papers, and books all on my desk, and loose wires...It's not really that much compared to what I hear most people say...(So I don't clean it...>:D Unless my desk is REALLY dirty).

@Wakusei Aoshi:

X3

I rarely draw something I don't like. Or rather, not dislike it so much that I'd throw it out... I still have all my sketches and doodles from high school! XD Maybe I'm sentimental that way, but I couldn't throw away something I created. Maybe some of my school assignment or little notes, but things that I did because I wanted to (writing or drawing) I have all that... then again, I'm a packrat that lives in a pigsty. XD;;

@Kitty K.O.:

I do the same thing! XD

Yeah, that makes sense...But most of the time, with me, I draw a picture, don't like it, and then sometimes I decide to continue it...O.o I don't really like my art that much...TT^TT Because I want to keep improving a lot...and I'm rarely ever satisfied.

@Wakusei Aoshi:

Yeah, it's usually my policy to just let my computer digest whatever it doing until it goes back to normal. If it stays that way for a while, I'd have to either

A) Go into task manager and shut down the program, or
2) XD Force shut down my computer.

The main reason I feel okay with doing that is because I have most of the progress saved. And even if I save somthing I don't need, I can always delete it later, but I can't get bac what wasn't ther to begin with. XD;;

@Kitty K.O.:

I have Panda, and they don't annoy me as much. But McAfee was annoying when I had it and it would actually do worse for my computer than good. It would keep freezing, but Panda works pretty good...Well, if SAI starts to freeze, when it gets back to normal I save it just in case or if I do a TON of stuff, then I save it, just in case, but those are the only times...O.o

@Wakusei Aoshi:

I have a laptop with Windows Vista, too. Though now, I've made sure to get better security for my computer. I had McAfee, but it stopped working after a while. I think it's because it was a trial for a year. Then I got Norton after I reinstalled my OS, but it was obnoxiously overprotective, so I kicked it to the curb. XD Now I have Microsoft Security Essentials which is just right and seems to be doing a fine job for me =3

@Kitty K.O.:

Yeahhh...I wouldn't be able to download that much stuff....I download a ton of music and pictures and a few free programs, but not much downloading because my computer is actually a laptop and it's a windows vista, and it's really sensitive for some reason...Like I have to press only certain buttons and be REALLY careful in movie maker or else it'll crash...O.o Dunno why, but I suspect I might be downloading bad files or something so I delete stuff a lot (that and to make it cleaner).

@Wakusei Aoshi:

I guess I don't worry so much because I have an external hard drive and it's got a terrabyte on it. I basically got it to transfer all the anime I watched to it so I can get more anime XD

It comes in handy if you have to completely overhaul your operating system, too =;_;=

@Kitty K.O.:

I delete most of my stuff. I hear a lot of people have billions of files...I'm afraid of filling up the space on my computer too much (because my files are like 2 MB per picture because I make them really huge) so I'm constantly deleting pictures. But I also save TONS of pictures of other artist's stuff that I like so I can look at them for inspiration especially when my internet goes off line sometimes...O.o But because I have so many pictures of other artist's stuff I'm afraid that my big pictures that I've done will fill up too much space (plus this isn't even my computer).

@Wakusei Aoshi:

Ahaha, hence why I have so many files... I save a lot of stuff. XD

Eventually... it may appear eventually =vuv;= *dramatic pose* XD;;

@15385bic:

Thanks =^_^=

@Kitty K.O.:

I don't like having so many files and I'm pretty careless when it comes to my art, a lot of it I don't really like that much, but I'm afraid of getting rid of it (in my portfolio), but when I'm just drawing I usually erase my drawing in the middle and start over or do something else if I mess up...O.o I do the same thing on paper....I'm not sure why, though...Sometimes I get mad at myself when I actually drew something good, but I went back too much and couldn't get it back...>.>

I liked having all the details there so I could make the picture more detailed, but then at the same time I was thinking 'Hold one, what is that!?' and then panic sets in...

Aww, I'd like to see it the way you wanted it to be! ^ ^

@Wakusei Aoshi:

I wouldn't take the chance, even with a new computer. XD In both gaming and artwork, I save frequently X3

I have too much that probably isn't necessary, but all my artowrk is important to me, so I wouldn't get rid of it. Portfolio material and whatnot X3

Yeah, it was a bit intimidating to see all the requirements, but once it's all put together, it's not so bad. I did google some crucifix jewelry to get the look I wanted for the earrings, though. X3 And the jacket sleeve were supposed to have holes along that line where string was looped through, but I din't have time to include it. =TT_TT= Ah well. I might improve on this one in the future so it looks closer to how I originally wanted it. =3

@Kitty K.O.:

My computer rarely crashes....well, it used to, but then we got it fixed (my brother fixed, it actually) and it's been running fine ever since...I've rarely had it where a picture gets messed up and isn't saved...

But usually if it isn't saved and I lost it, then I stop caring...because I erase my drawings very often...O.o

Oh, yeah, all that information really makes you feel a bit nervous, but excited at the same time, but you want to get it exactly right. For me I did a lot of research (mostly because I don't know anything about piercings...O.o) and then I did it, but I kinda also planned by drawing everything out (piercings, I mean) in the outline first then adding the hair and clothes and stuff...

@Wakusei Aoshi:

Oh gosh, I would never not save my picture before it's finished! =OoO= If I made a mistake or had a crash, I'd want whatever I did last to still be there... I learned the hard way... =vuv;=

I don't usually preplan, but I figured this kind of contest called for it. Again, I'm glad I did XD

@Kitty K.O.:

Oh, wow, that's a good idea...Though I'm not going to do that because I like doing pictures in one whole day and not saving them until I finish...XD

@Wakusei Aoshi:

I used Raisha-san's references and sketched out thing like the hairstyle, eyes, lips, and how my version of the outfit and accessories would look. If I hadn't done that, I wouldn't have made it in time X3 *off to do dishes* orz

@Kitty K.O.:

Pre-planning? How did you pre-plan? *can't imagine it*

@Wakusei Aoshi:

It helps that I'd done the preplanning as soon as I found out about the contest, so I just had to follow my references. XD;;

Thank you =;u;=~<3

OH WOW! O.O I love the pose and all the details you did and the earrings! O.O

This looks AWESOME! ^ ^

I'm glad you got to finish it before the deadline! ^ ^
