Now Taking Requests

I'm happy to announce that I have returned, and I am now taking on drawing requests.

I only ask a few things of people:

• Be considerate of time, as it will take me a while now that I'm working quite often.
• Please don't ask me to draw something impossible; my portfolio shows what I'm capable of, so if it's something a little more elaborate, please give me a reference photo.
• Remember that I am new to using photoshop to color in my art, so don't have too high of an expectation of me; I will be using photoshop to color all requests, unless you ask me not to color it in.
• Be kind. I'm not the world's greatest artist. If you don't like the drawing, you can request that I re-do it, or remove it, but please do not say anything hurtful to me. As many have learned, I'm not the most confident person, and I'm easily triggered.

I'd like to also mention that I'm now to a certain point in my life where I could give a fuck less who I end up with. Currently, I'm in an open relationship with a girl in Cali, but it isn't anything serious (obviously).

Yuki once again claims to want me back, and though my heart still aches for him, I'm not so sure how to react to it other than shrugging and telling him, "Whatever happens happens."

Ryuu, although he decided to remain as friends only, has been flirting with me quite often, and messages me every day for hours on end. So who knows what'll happen there.

I am also active in a Labyrinth RP, which has been keeping me quite happy. A TMWFTE RP would be lovely, too, but I seem to have a harder time finding a Thomas Jerome Newton than I ever have. I still can't even find a Kenshin RPer, either.

So if anyone wants to volunteer, all I ask is that you are familiar with whichever character, and that you remain as active as possible. It is preferable that we communicate through Skype for a while in order to maintain the RP, and if I end up feeling comfortable enough, I'll give my number to you so that you can just text me in case I'm not around Wi-Fi.

Anyway, I must be going now, as I work in the morning, and I need to sleep so that I'm not a zombie at work again like I've been for the past two days.

Adieu~!

When did Fanfic/RP die out so much? O_o

Ohayou gozaimasu, TheO friends. :3

So, I just have to know, because it's been kind of bugging me...

When did fanfictions and RP die out so badly? Like, seriously, hardly anyone will bother to do those things anymore. Granted, some weirdos are into RP, but they like it all...creepy and sexual like...like a girl being a naughty nurse, while her boyfriend is her patient. >.> Eww? Yeah.

I miss the good old days, when people could fanfiction/RP about anime. Just the other night, I actually enjoyed the first good RP I've done in a while, and it dealt with FMA/FMA Brotherhood. It was FUN! And I liked being able to do it again. But now, it seems no one else will do it, which sucks, cause I really need help with my fanfic/RP for FMA Brotherhood.
Featuring my FMA OC, Karina...in fact, here's a little about her.

Karina is a homunculus with a split personality. She is both Doubt and Vanity, but can switch off on one side depending on her mood. When she is stable as one person, she is Karina. When she is Doubt, she is more shy and modest, unsure about a lot. Her ouroborus is on her left shoulder. But when she is Vanity, she is extremely egotistical and straightforward, and more than happy to start a fight. Her ouroborus is on her right shoulder. When stable, both ouroborus are visible. Karina lost most of her memory, but she knows who and what she is. She has a connection to Envy, and was in fact his partner before she was kidnapped and her memory was wiped. She doesn't realize this, but Envy will continuously try to make her remember and cooperate. Every now and then, she will have painful flashbacks that render her helpless for several minutes, or will even knock her unconscious.
She is just a bit shorter than Envy. Her hair goes past her calves, and it is a silvery-grey color. Her eyes are bright green, and her skin is just between tan and pale.
Both personalities like Envy immensely, but try to hide it as much as possible. This becomes harder when the personalities are stable and she is one, Karina.

Yeah, so I need someone to help...because I can't just play all the characters. I can probably handle acting as Al and MAYBE Ed, but I need some more people to help out. I need an Envy, a Greed/Ling, a Winry, a Roy, a Riza, an Armstrong(male) and (female), a Lust, a Gluttony, a Pride, a Wrath, and any other main characters.

Come on, people...use your imaginations! Just because we've all gotten older doesn't mean we can't still pretend sometimes and have a little childish fun.

Light Karina: Doubt
Dark Karina: Vanity
I didn't draw on their Ouroborus yet at that time cause I hadn't yet decided where to put it.
