Welcome to my world
here you'll find...well let's face it you won't find much of anything, not many people pay attention to these places do they? lol
anyways, what you might find here are various thought from myself on random stuff...and also maybe some notices when I intend to change something, etc.
...yep that's about it, it's you'd still like to lurk look about, feel free.
Yeah, so pretty obvious no one is seeing/interested in the "glass slipper" event (kinda figured it'd be that way, but decided to give theOtaku some love and hold the even here first)
So because of the inactivity, I've closed it a day early (it was going to run until tomorrow)
Just a reminder, I'm still looking for a Light-haired, young, feminine type character to draw for a commission example.
this event will expire Monday, with the title of the event Advertisement being changed to "CLOSED" at that point I will continue my search elsewhere than theOtaku.
see the description of the event "advertisement" image in my portfolio for more info if interested.
EDIT: Event is OPEN accepting now accepting applicants via PM! read the details in the image description of my ad image here for details on requirements - http://www.theotaku.com/fanart/view/367562/%2526quot%253Bglass_slipper%2526quot%253B_event_ad
to those who watch me and keep track of these posts I am opening a new event, looking for a particular type of OC to draw and then use the image as a quality example for commissions I am thinking of doing on deviantART.
I'm going to the other artists around me because I'm drawing a blank on coming up with a random design myself, so I'm basically seeking a "reverse request" sort of thing.
I have a specific idea of the type of character I want to draw - the translation of that notion being the "glass slipper" - but it's difficult to put into words, I'll only know it when I see it I think, so I'll be seeking applicants with their characters and then choosing one I find suitable and drawing art of them that their creators can then resize, use, and repost as they wish (only condition is I get credit for the actual drawing of the picture)
this is just a heads up, mainly to get the word out a little more at least among my watchers and people who happen across my portfolio page, the event is not open yet, it opens when I post the ad image, so keep an eye out if you are interested.

Update on our dog, bailey -
She is in emergency surgery as I write this, looks VERY bad, she has a ruptured spleen. It's all or nothing now, she either lives or dies today, she could even be gone right now already, I don't know yet, but please, more than ever, if you are reading this and believe in God, PLEASE pray for Bailey!
Kind of have a prayer request...I'm posting it on all my sites just because I'm kind of that desperate right now, and yes, this is my (KuboRocks') dog, we're talking about, this is not some pasted request from some random person on the net, this is one of our family pets.
lets start it off with a proper intro.
This is Bailey, our Black Tri-color Australian Shepherd:
She's the smartest dog we've ever had, and is very fun and well-loved. She has done therapy work (visiting hospitals and retirement homes to make the people feel better and give them something fun to enjoy), and is also a backup service dog for a friend of ours in the areas of asthma alert and some hearing alert, this friend uses Bailey if ever her dogs are sick or hurt - this friend is also a dog trainer, and has used Bailey as a "demo-dog" for examples for the students.
Bailey turned nine years old this January, so she is a senior citizen you could say, but for an aussie, a breed known to live to an adverage of 12 - 14 years or so, she is not ancient and should have some good years left in her.
but here is the problem, Bailey is in Very bad shape right now from a sudden probelm that has recently presented itself.
A few weeks ago, Bailey began to appear bloated and generally listless, absolutely opposite her normal, energetic, go-get-'em self (that she had been showing only a matter of days before). the vet gave her special food and some antibiotics it looked like a stomach upset and she had diarrhea and a slight fever.
she again began to improve slightly, but the bloating never went away.
eventually, we were forced to take her to the vet again as she turned for the worse again after apparently losing some bladder control. we had X-rays done this time, and it turns out the she for some reason has fluid buildup in her abdomen causing the bloating. they don't know why, though blood tests should come back by Tuesday - her back has gone bad again and it is difficult for her to get up again, the bloating could be aggravating it.
but the doctor has said that it does not look good for her, attempting to drain the fluid apparently could cause her to go into shock and apparently on dogs her age it is very often fatal. we are still trying to stay positive and weigh our options, but as stated before, it doesn't look good from here at all - even if there is a solution, there's a STRONG likelihood that we will not be able to supply the funds to pay for it with vet bills as they are.
Bailey is very unhappy right now, and uncomfortable. And we are all extremely worried that we may not be able to save her.
so I ask that you please pray for Bailey right now. This is not normal and is a very sudden and mysterious condition, this dog was frolicking, playing, and bossing around our other dogs and my friend's dogs like she would normally do as the energetic type-A personality she is. if she goes now, it will be tragically before her time.
Later, and thank you for taking the time to read this.
End
