HUNGER SATISFIED! >:D

Not, yet, though...

My brother finally let me play his Goemon game and he also has Snowboarding Kids 2...which I'm terrible at...and Bomberman: The Second Attack, which is the one I loved so much!

So I got to play them last night and so now I'm not totally dying for Goemon! ^ ^

But...I'm terrible at all games...and once again never got passed Edo Castle so I wanted to cheat and get all the levels, but the cheat didn't work! TT^TT I wanna go to the other villages! TT^TT

And my brother wants me to play some more so I won't be commenting that much and if I do it's probably very pointless and out there since I'm so distracted.

Oh, we brought our laptop along, we just now went to my Grandpa's house so that we can have internet...XD

So...as soon as I'm done with everything I'm going back to gaming! >:D I guess this will be it until Monday or something...O.o

Because no internet...TT^TT

I haven't been drawing much..."orz...But I will, I will.

I was panicking a little while ago because I couldn't find Merry's Ringo to Uso on my mp3 player and I tried to make sure it was on there. But then I remembered I can just get it off of this laptop so I'm fine...and I found it, too...It was under the katakana for Merry (メリー)...O.o

Oh, wow, I was just watching a Do As Infinity History video and one of their songs was 'On the Road' and they spelled it 'On the Rord'...XD Oh, wow...XD

Okay, bye-bye~! XD

Goin' on a trip!

I'm leaving for Virgina tomorrow morning...so I probably should go to be soon, but I just thought I'd tell you guys!

I'm going to bring my school sketch book (and sketch in it even if I'm not supposed to, but it's from last year, so I don't think it'll hurt and I can just tell my teacher that I didn't know that I was keeping them for the next year) and do a ton of sketches (or try), maybe work on those manga...but I doubt it...It'd be really awkward writing a shounen-ai around my family...O.o

And I'll be playing lots of video games so I might draw some video game fanart or something.

I'll post my sketches on here, but if there are a lot then I'll post them in ze fanarts...But my scanner is crappy an puts lines through them, so you won't really get the whole picture or something...it'll just be a bit messed up...>.>

I'm going to go look at all the fanart for today on here and MB and comment on some stuff now and then go to be so I should get to that because it's almost 12:00 AM and I'm leaving early tomorrow...TT^TT

Though I keep telling my parents that I wake up at 6:00 AM or earlier every day and I go back to sleep for so long because I stay awake until they wake up (because then my cat leaves me alone by that time) and so I sleep longer up to 3:00 PM to recover all the sleep I loss from my cat bothering me.

My cat wants food, so I feed her, then she wants more so she keeps poking my face...TT^TT

And I figured out the problem with my kitty! It wasn't that she was sick it's that she can't chew the hard food and she broke her teeth or something...I don't know, but how most cat's mouths look like this:

My cat only has the longest fangs and the rest of her teeth are dull...And her mouth seems to be bothering her and so she can only eat soft food...That or she's acting like she can't and she only likes the wet food...>.>

My kitty is an actress. When she wants petting from a specific person she walks over to them and meows a pitiful meow like she's dying or something, when she was just meowing really loud and energetically a few seconds ago...*shakes head*...

Oh, and since I'm leaving tomorrow morning, there might not be many posts or any art posts until Monday...but then I start school on Wednesday so I might have even fewer posts...I don't really know, but just telling you guys so you don't think I'm dead or something! XD

Now back to what I was doing! XD

Bleh...*is frustrated*

I really love all the tools on Corel Painter...BUUUT...I CAN'T DRAW ANYTHING!! TT^TT

It's not that I don't have any inspiration or anything, it's that I seriously can't draw anything. My computer is waaaayyy too slow and my lines are really sharp and when I try to make a curved like it makes a straight line...O.o

That happens sometimes on SAI when my computer starts running really slow, but this is happening ALL THE TIME on this program! TT^TT

And I don't even know what I'd do with all those tools...>.> And everything is just inconvenient places.

So, I'm probably going to waste the rest of this trial version because I don't want it anymore. At least, not while I'm using a laptop.

Maybe in the future...But I'm staying with my beloved SAI.

It's simplicity is what beats the rest of the competition. It has very nice lines, there isn't a bunch of stuff everywhere, it's pretty organized, and the tools are good enough (good enough for me) and the more I use SAI the more techniques I'll learn and I can probably give it that Corel Painter look sometime...

Buuut...I'm sticking with SAI right now. And Corel Painter...does a TON of stuff for you...O.o I mean, the effects, on SAI you have to do all of that manually. Of course, that IS convenient, but not when your computer runs so slow you can't draw anything.

I've drawn a few really blurry pictures with soft tools...buuut...they're really crappy and hurt your eyes so I'm not saving them...TT^TT

I'm going to go finish some pictures on SAI now. My beloved SAI! TT^TT It's like my home and I went on a trip to Corelville and now I'm homesick....

I'll be kissing the ground when I get back...XD

Okay, off to SAI~! *closes Corel Painter*

Oh, and use this as a lesson guyzzz, it's a really good program, but if you're a beginner to CGing, DO NOT USE IT, and if you're using a crappy laptop DO NOT USE IT. Because it's a bit complicated and CRAPPY LAPTOPS ARE CRAPPY! >:- (<-- haha, new emoticon...XD Think about it...)

Corel Painter...>:D

I'm downloading the trial version of Corel Painter now to see if I'd want to spend ALL THAT money to buy it...TT^TT

Like if it's good enough or I can just get away with colouring in SAI.

I'm also looking for any other programs that I could try out to see which I can work with the best to get the results I'm looking for...like being able to colour in a certain style.

I really like the traditional kind of look and SAI has more of a silky kind of look and I guess I can work on making it look more traditional, I'd just like to try other things before I settle for just one program.

What does that sound like? XD

But I've heard Corel Painter is pretty hard to use if you're not already comfortable with it. I'd just like to try it out, though, to see if I like it.

I really love SAI and all it's tools and stuff, but the most traditional looking picture done on SAI still looks like it was done on SAI.

Actually, most CG art you can tell what program they used to do it. It's just like how you can tell what traditional medium a person used.

Photoshop looks more plastic-y
SAI looks more silky
Corel Painter looks more chalky

And I like chalky pictures. But I'm going for those top recommended, top used programs.

Who knows, maybe experiencing different programs can help me improve in SAI because I've gotten a new experience.

And since...it might be 30 days, I'm not sure. And I'm going on a trip soon and then after that I'm starting school, I'll try to draw as much as I can on Corel Painter and try it out as much as I can before the 30 days are up.

And good thing it's just the beginning of school because it's usually pretty easy at the beginning, and then the homework starts to come (not that the homework is ever hard...takes me like 30 minutes or less to do...>.>).

So expect that any pictures I post will be done on Corel Painter from here on out.

And I'll save EVERYTHING so I'll probably have a big sketch dump at the end! XD Until my trial version runs out that's all you'll be seeing.

And then if I like SAI more then I might go back, but if I really like Corel Painter I might buy it...>:D

YES!! YESS!! *n*

Yesterday I went to get my schedule for my classes...and...both mine and my brother's were messed up...O.o

He had his math class for only the second semester and Mandarin Chinese...Which he REALLY doesn't want to take (but I want to sooo badly) and he's not very good at math so he needs to get more teachings so he can get good scores on the SATs and ACTs...

And for me...I have two World History classes...which...is really odd...O.o I didn't even sign up for the other World History...>.>

So we went to change them today and my brother got several different things changed (I don't remember what the changes were, though...O.o) and I got my one of my World History classes changed to MANDARIN CHINESE~!! X3

I'm sooo happy about that! I didn't even know I could take it, but now it's been decided by the counselor. I might be the only sophomore in there! XD

Well, the class I changed had the teacher that was helping me set up the Anime Club...so I wonder if she'll be mad at my for changing classes...But I have no future in history! TT^TT Haha...future history...XD And two history classes that teach basically the same thing wouldn't help me at all. Also, the counselor lady told me that there were 30 students in that class...HOLY CRAP!! I don't want to take that class, no way!

No way am I going to take such a huge class! TT^TT And even better, the Mandarin Chinese class only has 16 students (including me)! X3 I was sooo happy to hear I could take Chinese! ^ ^

I wanted to change it to Anatomy, but that wasn't offered and I was about to pay 100 dollars to take an online class...But now I'm fine! I have a language that I've been wanting to learn~!

There are so many languages I want to learn:

Chinese
Spanish (well...more...so that I can SPEAK it fluently, not just understand it)
Korean
Japanese
French
German
Hindi
Russian
Tibetan (SUUUCH a beautiful language...TT^TT)

And I think that's about it...that's enough...XD And I know that's a lot, but I think that I can learn them all in the time I expect myself to live...

See, if I can understand English so well in just 15 years...actually...let's go with 13 years, because I don't need to know these extra words. So that means I could learn about 6 or 7...I don't HAVE to learn French or Russian, it just sounds/looks cool! XD

I want to learn those languages because imagine them in songs! O.O Like for song lyrics...O.O Holy crap, those'd sound awesome! >:D

I'm not a big fan of French...it annoys me....>.> And...Russians a bit...strange for me...

But German...sounds...soooo awesome!! Like when it's said seriously...I saw the trailers for the German dub of Evangelion...OH MY GOD!! TT^TT It was...sooooooooo freaking awesome sounding! TT^TT

Hindi, because I want to write in Hindi and I like India! X3

Korean, well, Korean is just a really pretty language and I love the characters! X3

Tibetan because...holy crap...have you HEARD Tibetan!?

Sooo....pretty...I mean, it's a song, but still. It's sounds really pretty...it's like the softer version of Chinese...O.O So pretty~!

And of course I want to learn Japanese! XD

And I want to learn Chinese because...because....The characters are pretty? It has so much history? I don't really know why, I just feel like it...XD

I also already listen to Mandopop, so I think it'll be nice to understand what they're saying! X3
