Hi guys! Anyways, myO hasn't been active for a while, has it? Since no one has been on, I'm switching to the worlds until further notice. (I hate the limitations! I'll probably be here until myO is up and running again.) I thought I was kinda overdue for a post. So yeah...
Okay, everyone's been talking about this, so why not I? (I'll give you three seconds to think about what. 1...2...3) Yeah, Version Vibrant. I just read that a lot of people think that myO is being replaced by the worlds. Sooo not true. They said that myO is getting a remake too. People who use standard layout will actually have choices about what they want the layout to look like (I belive it was four choices). However, theO is really confusing me. And I think I haven't got used to all the white (Ahh! My eyes!). I miss the news not being on the home page, though. But, honestly, I'm really glad Adam didn't go with pink. For those of you who don't know, Adam originally wanted to make the new theO layout pink (seriously).
Oh, and if you notice, the layout for the world is similar to my old site. It took me a couple of days to get it just right. I'll be making more for people and putting it up as wallpaper. 
News on the writers' site (The Renaissance). I decided to make a world for it instead of a separate account. I think it will be more open to people that way. I don't know how all the stuff works yet, though. I want to be moderator of it, and I want to review all submissions before they're posted to check for spelling, grammar, and to make sure it's not *censored*, if you know what I mean. Like stupid (as in OMG, you have no skill/originality) fanfics, or pointless posts. But when I figure it all out, I'll let you guys know.
Recently, I've been working on redoing all of my artwork. I figured out to make it even higher quality, as well as a couple of tricks to make coloring (more specifically shading and highlighting) faster. Lasso tool! So far, I'll I've got is concept for Hiei, Chase, and my OC colored. I'm really happy about how Hiei and Chase came out. This is the newest version of Hiei's concept art, and looks so much better and consistent. Chase's, to me, looks pretty close to his anime counterpart, with the exception of a classier hairstyle, more elegant eyes, and his hair tied back. I believe that the hair-, eye-, and hair highlight-color has been retained (for Hiei, it all has been retained). I'm pretty happy how Rose turned out, but inking while I was half asleep made some lines squiggly.
If any of you guys are wondering, I'm not gonna submit it. Those are kinda...personal drawings, I guess. No offense, but I don't want everyone to able to draw my characters since it would make the stuff seem less original 'cause I know there's always that there's one guy out there who claims it all as his own (look at photobucket). The drawings contain 5 or 11 clear concept artwork and a breakdown of how the eye looks. However, I might put a sample of them up (with comparisons to their original counterparts) But, I will put the higher quality versions of current drawings up, and I won't be deleting the old ones.
BTW, Swords411, your request has been drawn and inked (I like how it turned out). I'll color and submit it ASAP. Refi-chan, as soon as I get the smack of insight, I'll start drawing it. Nothing has come to me yet.
Umm...I think that's all I got. Oh! I made a CO2 powered dragster (drag racing racecar) for regional competition and came back in eighth (It's not full size, BTW, about the size of those model toy cars...I think). I'll get a pic for you guys if I can. It's name is Shadow Prototype 2 (after Shadow the hedgehog). Why Prototype 2? Last year I made cars Shadow Prototype (never raced) and Shadow (raced at Nationals/Internationals (it's not big internationally so even though European countries come it's still called Nationals) and placed 108/151, good for an first time racer apparently). The car going to Nationals this year will be called Shadow the Second, and the one going to state will be Shadow Android 2 (to correspond numbers). Heh, I wonder if you guys understand any of this.
Now I think that's all I got. Okay, question time!
Ok, first. Whoa. Refi-chan, when I read your edit I got the smack of insight for a new theme. Thanks! ^_^
1) What your favorite line from a song? What does it mean?
Answer: I like the line “Oh how wrong we were to think that immortality meant never dying” from an older MCR song called “Our Lady of Sorrows”. I think the line is pretty self explanatory. I’ll make you guys think ^_^
2) Any manga, anime, or book that you just got recently that you would recommend?
Answer: I went out of town and came back with a new manga series named “Murder Princess”. Even though the creator was trying to crush it into two volumes, it’s a really nice story (except for the unanswered questions at the end due to the crunch) and artwork. I mean, you don’t get to see a bounty hunter’s soul getting switched with a naïve and frail princess’s soul every day. 
I also got Vampire Knight volumes 1-3. I've been reading it online, but I thought I should support the fandom and buy the books.
New questions:
1) Does anyone know where to submit stuff? I can't find it. They need a help page!
2) Does anyone know how copyright laws work? I tried to find out to see if I can get some stuff copyrighted, but reading things equivalent to legal documents just made my head hurt.
3) Just a head count, who would like to join the writer’s group once I get it running? Or, who would like to read the articles on it, for non-writers? Don’t worry, you won’t hurt my feelings if you say no. ^_^ I just need to get a glimpse of who the audience might be.
Alright, I think I updated enough. I’ll see you guys on the flip side!
