Hello everyone.
Unfortunately, this isn't Nadeshiko taking over this entry of her journal here. It's actually her boyfriend, Ike.
Remember, we share her account now here on TheOtaku and Deviantart.
Anyway, it's kind of strange for me to be doing this without her permission.
Well, being that she's currently doing some summer homework behind me, I had nothing else to do.
Not to mention I've taken notice as to how it's now August...
I'm happy that it's now August because Nadeshiko is finally out of summer school after next week. (Coming from someone who will be driving her around to places once vacation really begins.)
Moving on, now at this point, I don't mean to sound pushy or anything but I'm pretty sure some of you might remember that around the end of this month will be Nadeshiko's birthday.
After seeing that she found quite the gifts from her friends here in TheOtaku, she was very elated.
Now lately, she's been feeling a little down and I've been trying to get her to open up as to why. Perhaps you can all help try to cheer her up?
Well, there's that part and also I've taken note in some of the comments you've left for her in last year's birthday saying to remind you all on an early note.
Nonetheless, she doesn't really care as much. So long as she knows she has people who care.
Nonetheless, let's try to see if we can make her 17th special.
She's still trying her best.
Nice talking to you all.
~Ike Katayama
I don't mean to sound like a bit of a downer or anything but...
I've kinda come to learn that some of my artworks hardly have as much votes nor comments as they used to anymore.
Not to mention that I hardly get comments from some of the people I expect anymore...
Is it all because you're just too busy to see them
Your backroom list gets filled in too fast?
You're just busy with other stuff?
I just want to know... =/
~*~*~*~
From my recent artwork above, I've come to realize that I've only just gotten 6 votes after three days...
Normally I'd have about 8 after I check day one with these type of artworks... O_o
I've really worked my butt off on this piece and I'm kinda disappointed that it's not getting much votes... Nor as much views.
I'm kinda starting to think that I don't reach the potential here on TheOtaku anymore.
On my DeviantArt, it's much better than this really... =/
Just let me know so that I won't feel down.
Whoa, it's been long since I've posted, huh?
I'M SORRY! DX
School's been holding me back to even post and all.
As a junios in high school, I have a lot to worry about before I graduate next year.
*SUDDEN FEELING DROPS IN STOMACH AFTER TYPING "NEXT YEAR"* O____o Oh shi----znits.
Anyway, I'm sorry for sudden lack of artworks after the last one.
I'm lacking the motivation to draw now.
School first, then artworks! Dx
But breaks mid between at least.
Anyway...uh...Oh yeah.
Ike-kun's going to share this account with me in case none of you never knew.
Ike: Pleasure.
Yeah, moving on. *shoves him aside*
Ike: Waah! O_o
There's also this artist block on my back and I've been trying to get rid of it for quite a long time now.
So to do so, I promised you guys that "Burnin' the Bridge!" - Element Reel project whereas the girls would star under a specific type of element that suits them.
Well, I'M STARTING THAT NOW! >D
Here's the list:
1) Roxanne De Vira - Fire
2) Raven Liasson - Lightning
3) Nadeshiko Masayume - Water
4) Kyoung-Mi Park - Earth/Tree
5) Sophia Summers - Darkness (Under photoshop coloring)
6) Elizabeth Burke - Air/Wind (currently in pencil drawing, halfway inked)
Apparently for this, I'm working out of order now. O_<
Normally I'd start with Roxanne for being the main...
Oh well. ^^
Wish me luck to getting this complete and to get the "lack of motivation" off my back.
Ike: Luck, Nadeshiko.
Not you, THEM.
Ike: Oh, oops. xD
Oh, WHAT?! It was Halloween yesterday!
Anyway, I had fun. My costume blended in with everyone at school yesterday.
Wanna know why...?
I DRESSED UP AS L FROM DEATH NOTE FOR HALLOWEEN!
Some of my classmates actually knew who I was, which was kinda funny considering that I didn't think they'd know about DeathNote... O_o
So yeah, yesterday I suppose was fun. XD
Though the Anime Costume Contest from our club completely wasted my lunch...
I didn't even get to eat so I was a tad bit cranky halfway through the school... >>
I BLAME SARAH!!!!
Ahem, anyway. Let's continue on, shall we?
Here's my list of "To-Do" work again. I've made very small progress... O_<
To Do List!
-Finish the GODDAMN "B.t.B. - 300+ Votes Volleyball" pic (Need to draw in last few chars... >>)(SORRY! THIS IS GOING ON HIATUS AND WILL BE FINISHED OVER NEXT SUMMER INSTEAD!)
-Need to color the "Roxas is MEIN" pic (ft. Roxine, Rei, Rika, and Roxas) (link)
-Work on the B-day Pic to Ike-kun (bday is Oct. 17)(link)
-Finish up working on the B.t.B. Profile references (3 down, 10 to go)
-EMO BRIGADE (ft. KH OCs of smartanimegirl, Ike-kun, UnknownRumors, FUNimation, Hikari Mogami, and mewmewpudding)(link)(LOOKS TOTALLY PWNSOME! 8D)
-Art Trade with Blackfeather27 - KinaRiku moment (Sorry, I'm just loaded with other stuff right now! I have the draft, but it's sadly being neglected to be inked! ToT)
-IkexNade - Angel and Fallen
Continuous Work
-"Kingdom Hearts: Twilight Stars" fan manga (character pages are in progress)
THE "IFS!!!"
-B.t.B. - Roxanne and her Bubble Friends (otherwise Roxanne's in a grassy field blowing bubbles and her friends' faces are in each)(FUNimation inspired me! XD)
-B.t.B. - Elemental Girls
-B.t.B. - Morning Arashi Juusannin (sleepy bedheads otherwise)
-(B.t.B.) JacksonxRoxanne - Into the Night (request by Roxanne-chan)
-B.t.B. - Sleeping (DIFFERENT FROM "MORNING ARASHI JUUSANNIN!" Everyone's gathered together in this one room and have apparently all somehow fallen asleep on the floor together or something like that)
-(B.t.B.) I.S.I. - When It Rains, It Pours (Ike, Simon, and Insung. Up a tree, spraying a hose downwards on Jackson, Bastion, Charlie, and Scott. All four are confused to why it's "raining" when the weather said it's supposed to be a clear day. I.S.I. just laughs in the tree)(This was brought to you by disney cast of Wizards of Waverly Place xP)
-(B.t.B.) I.S.I. - WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING! (They graffitied the walls. XD)
There's this other list I have where I pick out a few songs and draw a picture that relates to the lyrics of that specific song.
I don't have my songs picked out yet.
Besides, I've got about 20 songs I like... @_@
I'll probably show the list 10 at a time then....
And uh...I had this one Halloween picture I wanted to draw which involved Roxanne, Raven, and Nadeshiko, but apparently now it's kinda too late. >>
What do you guys think? Should I still put it up?
LET ME KNOW PLEASE!
LATER~!!
It's October! Yayz~! :D
That means horror films and Halloween!
But I hope that Sam, Sayru, Sirius, Layo, and the others aren't going to be doing anything this year to freak me and Roxanne out...
HAHAHAHAHA...HAHAHAH...HA.... :D
Anyway..........I want to dress up but I'm not so sure as what yet... ><
A lot of my friends say if I went to get a haircut again to my "same old, same old" haircut and left it all messy and such, I'd make a good impression of L from DeathNote. =X
Well, L is pretty easy to go as. Just a white shirt, baggy-ish jeans, get a lollipop, sit like him and you're good to go. XD
Either that or I could go as Tifa from FF7 or Rinoa again like last year from FF8. =X
Mekyuu~! >> (lol, WHUT? Mokona XD)
So, uh... I just found out in one of the contests I've entered, I won 1st! x3
Yay, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay! *dances*
The contest relates to that one picture I posted of "Nadeshiko and Kami."
The link to the contest right here. CONTEST RESULTS
Erm...oh yeah. Time for my new To Do List. =P
