21st of Nov. 2020: *checks watch* nope still not dead!

But wow man this place sure is a shadow of its former self *whistles*

20th of Nov. 2016: I'm not dead!

I'm doing OK, working and dealing with my mental health as well as I can. I won't be back here, though. I've started creating content for The Sims 3. As for anime, I've left it behind mostly.

If any of my old friends end up reading this - the years together have been great, and I still get nostalgic about them sometimes. Hope life is treating you well!~

8th of Nov. 2015: For anyone wondering what's happened to me

Simply put, I grew distant from TheO. The fine folks here have nothing to do with it, you all are still amazing (and I feel awful for missing so many birthdays >_<). Tagging on Minitokyo took up a lot of my time, and I gradually found myself visiting TheO less and less, until it got to literally months between visits. Hell, I don't even think I can remember my password, thank God Firefox has the option to save them.

I'm also not that interested in anime anymore - I mean, I like the style and still add to my collection of eye candy, but I don't feel the need to keep up with new releases. I've got my gigs of old manga and am pretty much satisfied with that. Art-wise, the same: haven't felt the drive to pick up or finish a work in months, probably as a result of my passion for anime fizzling out. I'm still playing The Sims 3, and have picked up Doom too (love them custom WADs!).

Anyway, if you made it this far, thanks for the visit. Drop me a line on Minitokyo if you feel like it.
Hope all is well with you, and a huge thanks for the support. Take care.

Holiday and the likes [warning: picspam!]

Well, now I'm on holiday in Mamaia (Romanian seaside resort) and, fortunately, enjoying sweet, sweet Internet access. Only downside is that I can't really make graphics since the color settings are very different from my monitor and I don't want t...

Soul-crushing wallpaper challenge!

Idea stolen (of course), from SaxGirl 8D Except that these themes are mine, even though we may have some in common. I decided to put my own spin on it, and have therefore decided that no female characters are allowed in these walls!
Only 20 themes because I'd die before making 100 (seriously, my lifespan is entirely too short for 100 walls XD).

1. Demonic
2. Sky
3. Fire done!
4. Scenic (very small or non-existent character)
5. Water
6. Painted
7. Perspective
8. Wings
9. Yaoi done!
10. Transforming (literal or metaphorical)
11. Manga (image must be from a manga series) done!
12. Wounded done!
13. Pure nudity
14. Temptation done!
15. Song illustration
16. Reverse
17. Sleep done!
18. Nightmare
19.Ataraxia done!
20. Taboo

Lol, "Yaoi" is pretty useless since I have a feeling at least 80% of these will be yaoi XD

Why must there be a title here? D:

I seriously don't know what to write for titles anymore, they'd all end up sounding like "College, rants, RAAAGE" D: I lack creativity in the writing department.

Now, I want to thank everyone who participated in my surveys c: You're all sweeter than a caramel sundae with candy sprinkled on top! Thank you very much~! As for the icons, I wrote down everyone's details and will get to them ASAP, as soon as I get a break in my exams - the next 2-3 weeks will be terrible, since I'll only have 2-day breaks between exams and, since I haven't studied for them...let's just say it's going to be pretty interesting XD Also, I'm supposed to retake the exam I failed tomorrow, but it's the same as last semester: I'm too lazy to even look at the material. Furthermore, we were notified of the date only 3 days ahead of the actual exam day, and we don't even know what room it's in. Yeah. My college is pretty big to begin with, what's worse is we could be taking it in one of the neighboring colleges (Maths, History or Chemistry) if there are no available rooms in ours. Do me a favor and shoot me already =_=

But exam period is also fun, since it's usually the time when everyone panics and starts looking for the texts and notes. Including me 8D Time to cram!

As for the artsy stuff, I haven't touched the pen tool in a while, for vectors or wallpapers. With exams here, I've kind of lost my will to wall and have been focusing only on icons (I'll post a batch soon, I usually wait until there's at least 10 before posting). Luckily, I didn't promise any big prizes for my challenge (thank you for the entries! ^^) - I wouldn't have had time for them anyway. But I have this killer idea for a challenge, that I want to start after this one is over. I just hope it'll be popular! *crosses fingers*

That's about all I have to say for now, I'll leave you with a cute/sexy pic of my generation 6 heir of The Sims 3, Jason Stewart. I love him to bits <33 Unfortunately, he died two generations ago XD He's an in-game-born vampire, if you're wondering about the glowy eyes and skin color.

Another tiny survey-type thingy?

I promise this is the last time I'm bugging you with these questions >w< I'm currently writing the essay and I just need a bit of the community's opinion to wrap it up. Oh, and I just thought about quoting your answers; if you allow me to quote you, just mention your first name (or, if you don't want to share it, just its first letter).

1. How long have you been a part of the walling community? (actually walling)

2. Have you made good friends that you still talk to, this way?

3. How much would you say the community has changed over the years?

4. If you're an old waller (4+ years), would you keep your roots or would you prefer to have started walling now?

5. What is the oldest style of walling you remember? (grunge, celestial, vector etc.)

Thank you very much for putting up with me >_< I've written down all the icon requests and will be working on them starting tomorrow~

Graphic design survey pretty please?

Could you please fill in this survey for me, pretty pretty please? *bats eyelashes* It's anonymous and doesn't require very personal data (aside from your age group). And it's for college T_T Please? There are only 10 questions~

Survey is here! =3=

The stuff below the questions basically means that every question is mandatory.
And it would be awesome if you could pass it along to others, it'd be really appreciated ;_; Those who pass it along will get 4 icon requests, as well as anyone who comments on this post! :D
