@pachi: Hnnn. It's really hard to change characters. I tried doing like a time skip for one of them once.. and was like HA NOPE. You're forever 17, SORRY.
I mean, I've never spent real money, but I've used virtual currency like volts or gold on gaia. I definitely don't have the funds for buying anything with real money. Bahahaha.

Yeah, it is really nice. Just getting art for my OCs in general makes me happy. Or, even if I just do little doodles of them. akdjfhaksdf.
Unless you do like nsfw stuff. Huehehuehe. That usually attracts certain kinds of people. xD
It's really rare for OCs to get a lot of attention though, you're right. q vq ;;;

Hahaha. Awhman. Tan skin/white hair/yellow eyes are really nice tho. I SEE WHERE YOU'RE COMING FROM.
BAHAKSJDHA.

Heee, thanks!!! She's totally not my favorite currently or anything. SWEATS.

@dragonickittens: Haha, it's fine! You also tagged my art account, which I don't check as often. ;;; Ahhh, you need to get everyone together to watch the stream!! I mean, it's bound to happen though. Too bad you can't just post one comment and it goes to all of them. That would probably be interesting unless you were dealing with different audiences.
Still pretty good though. Even gaia art freebs take an hour for someone to post. I swear. ;;;
Hahaha. What good friends. Helping you out- even with memes. hhe.

Ohhhh. right right. I remember her now! I think I was in a stream where you were designing her clothes once. Of course I was sneaky. Heuehehe. >:3cccc
I haven't gone outside since I've been quarantined.. so 2-3 weeks now? I'll eventually go outside to get fresh air. BAHAHAHA. I can't even open the windows, I'm afraid bugs will crawl in since they're on ground level. I've also only really talked to my hubby and his grandmother the past few days. Though I haven't seen her in person for awhile. Trying to steer clear, you know?

Yeah, I know. It's just something new and I'd have to practice it with a bit more before I'd be content with it. I'll probably do a bit of research, but it seems like there's certain brush settings that a lot of people follow too for the icons. q vq I mean, the icon was a flop, but I did a non-chibi piece, so I'm pretty content. HAhaha.
Ahhh, thanks!!! It took a bit to work on, but I do like it. I think I changed her colors a bit though.. it's supposed to be a bit more muted, now that I'm looking at it. Might edit that later if I'm up for it. ;;;
Ehh. I'd look up tutorials on it, but I get defeated easily and don't have the patience to really sit and focus on it.
Hahaha. I have a lot of the stories for my OCs in my head, but a lot of the stuff is supposed to be secret (like who dies, who ends up with who), even though I'll never make a story out of it. xD I did that with the maids comic, but I'll probably never touch that again so... SPOILING AWAY.
Whaaaa? You have to pay for brushes? I mean, I guess that's how people make money, but still. Seems kinda weird. Is coins like for twitch or something? Pay for brushes that way? Like points on deviantart and then you get the download for it?
Ohhh, that's awesome! * A* I've never tried it that way. I usually save as a png and then upload. HMMM. Good to know, good TO KNOW.

I think I've seen you play warframe a long time ago, but I never really caught on with it. akjsdfhakjd.
That's good though! I know there's some people that only play one game and they get a following too, but to each their own! I tend to not play the same game over and over- heck I barely finish some of them. Gaming just isn't my forte, I guess. ;;;;
I've heard about the lagging too. I think that's just a small streamer thing too. My hubby had the same problem when he was streaming for awhile. Just need to keep building up the viewers and whatnot. ;;; Just gotta hope for the best?? Idk.

Hahaha. It's pretty easily to make volts on here if we keep chatting like this. LMAO. Our posts are getting to the essay range. O AO
I'm just not good with armor-y type things. ;;;;; IM GOMEN. I could draw her galaxy or pink outfit though! * A*
There's so many color swatches, I always get nervous with that, it's the same reason why I can't do RL references. There's too many shades/hues and I only use a base/shading/highlight.
Awhh yeah. Those are really pricey. X ___ X Thankfully my hubby's family has been helping out with food and whatnot. I'm saving a bit of money since I'm not travellng to work, so that's a little bit of extra money. Now is the best time to quit smoking, I guess. o ___ O ;;
Ohhh. Cool! I'll eventually make one too, but it's been a good year since I've really designed something. Designing mojo is dead. Haha.

Huh. I see. This is all news to me. adkjhfaksdjf. I'm still pretty impressed that there's all of this is on twitch. Q vQ
AHahaha. I mean, I do that too, but I'm also usually the one that doesn't do well. Hahaha.

@pachi: Hahaha. I have more art of my older characters, but they're designs are so simple so... I dunno what else to do with them. Changing some of them I feel like would alter who they are. So they will just sit there. U WU
I just ended up collecting a lot when the whole adoptables thing blew up on Gaia... and now I can't stop. AHhaha . /stares off into distance.

I feel like that's the smart thing to do. u wu ///
Gotta stick to what you like so you don't go crazy. ;;;
I think I've done like 5 fanart pieces in my entire drawing .... career? Drawing years?? Hopefully you get what I mean. Hahaha. I don't make stickers or anything either, so it would just make sense that way.
Ahhh, really? I usually just go for pink haired or yandere types. I have a weakness.

YESSS, FINALLY. NOW BASK IN ALL THE INGREDIENTS. BAHAHAH

ALSOALSO I FINALLY FINISHED IT. It's not bad considering I don't draw in this style too often, but I'm pretty proud of it regardless.
Ta daaaaa U WU

@pachi: FAK. I THOUGHT I RESPONDED TO THIS ALREADY. OMG. DID I NOT HIT ENTER. /////////////////////////////

UHM. IDK. It's sort of been over time??? > > ;;; It's like... over a 8 year span so. Some of these OCs are REAAALLLY OLD. Some have been revamped, but still old designs in my mind. Haha.

Seriously... I swear there's a new thing every week. Whether it's an anime or a show or a meme. I can't follow it. I always join things in late.Literally like week or months later and then I'm like... where'd the fandom go. LMAO.
Yeah, I... don't envy those people. I'm surprise there are so many people that are able to keep up with it, unless I just realize things too late or something too. Bahahaha.

YEAH. I FEEL SO ACCOMPLISHED.
I did a lot when the person first did it too, but I stopped because I thought it was glitched or something. ahhahahaha.
I have so many basic supplies now. It was like 400 metal the last I looked. /stares off into distance.

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH okay. That makes sense then. I always forget the names of things. THANK FRIEND.

@dragonickittens: Yeah, no rush. I mean, I'm stuck indoors all day, but I still work Mon-Friday until about 4pm. I do have a mini spring break coming up, so I should have some free time coming up. Hahah. I'll be on the lookout. I'll just need to make sure that I check your twitter constantly and see if you post a link.
> > ;;;
Ooooh, that sounds like fun though. I haven't really had any ideas for any characters lately. q ___ q I've been in a design rut for quite some time now. Weep. Just more time to focus on my current OCS then. Not that I really have time to make new ones anyway. hahaha.
Yeah, I like being indoors and working remotely isn't that bad... but I really want this whole thing to be over. It's stressing me out a lot.

I think I've heard that size before too. o: I tried drawing on a 400 x 400 canvas last night... and I ended up not liking it at all so I trashed it. ;;;
Thanks! I still have the one piece to work on that I was talking about, but I've been cleaning most of the morning, so I've finally sat down and I'm starting to work on it again. ;;;; I feel like I need to go darker with some of the shading though. Aaaa. I don't know how to shade non chibi things,f asjdkfhaksdf.
Hahaa. I haven't even gotten started on really filling out all of their profiles, this is just the "cover" art for it so to speak. Squints.

Thanks! I'm taking my time, but I want to at least get some pieces out there, you know?
Ooooh! I'm sure there's a few out there. Galaxy is generally pretty difficult to come by though, I feel like a lot of people struggle with it. Lmao.
You can send CSP files? I had no idea. That's awesome! O : !! We can totally do that!

I think if you stream the same type of game or thing over and over a lot of people tend to get frustrated with it or easily bored. I was thinking about streaming myself, but I don't think I have the time or patience or following even for it, so I'm good with just roaming around and lurking for now. You do a great job at it, so keep it up! *A * !!! I'll definitely keep an eye out for the next stream- for sure!
I mean, you're still making money, so it definitely counts. Haha. Hey, I'll be here for awhile as far as arting goes, so you don't need to worry about it. : >
Hehe, I look forward to your future orders then! >:3cccccc
I mean, if it's game screenshots, I definitely can't draw it, but if you have clean art reference, I could probably pull from it as long as it's humanoid, which I'm pretty sure she it. @ w @ ;;; The teal/pink haired one, yeah?
Well, the job conditions right now are kinda crazy, so you take what you can get, you know? I'd come commission you too, but I'm the only one working right now and it's been ... really hectic over here. q ____q So I'll just support with my love for now. //////
OMG I LOVE MOTHS. One day I will have a cute pink moth OC. I think I should you the picture of the pink/yellow moth, yeah? I want to make a gijinka based off of that. Hahah.

Yeah, it is really cool! I didn't even know they had something like that. I only thought there was the buy with money option. It gives others a chance to buy and use it.
Being competitive puts a damper on things, I think. ;;; If something is too competitive and I'm not good at it, I end up stopping working with it completely, so I understand from that standpoint. U WU
Posted in Starting from scratch. ;;; Posted 5 years ago
@pachi: I have ... so many OCs in general. Ahahhaa. I love them all though. akfjhsdfkjasd. I was planning on getting a gijinka for every single pokemon... but I'm not that creative. So, I'll just stick with these for now. aAhahaaaa.

Awhman, that's awful. :c That's how everything works though, so ehhh. I would hate to flip-flop fandoms like that so often. I feel like there's something new and exciting every week. Being able to churn out art and stuff like that must be exhausting. I don't know how people do it.

AHAHHHHHHH I FINALLY FINISHED. NO MORE OPENING BASKETS. AJSHFDKJASF.
I think I got like one more gold bar? i stopped paying attention past a certain point.

Also for the uh.. rewards thing. What is "collecting gifts" mean? @ w @;;; I've apparently done a few of them, but I have no idea what I'm doing. aaa
Posted in Starting from scratch. ;;; Posted 5 years ago
@pachi: Hahaha. I do too. There's just ... so many things. Bahahah.


Oooh, that's cute! * A* I never seem to plan enough. Making comic panels seems like a nice idea... but then drawing. Writing would do it too, but then... also writing. LMAO. I usually don't go past drawing them once or twice and then putting a small blurb about them. I'm so creative. hheh.
OMG I LOVE HIM. AAAA
Here's my Gym leaders/trainers & gijinkas!. I love them so much sometimes. faskdjhfakjsd Even though a lot of them are really simple. ;;;

Bahahahaha. SAME. I've been offering sketches and base things lately because I've been so lazy.
Ohhh. BUT REAL MONIES IS INCENTIVE. Think about the anime figurines you could buy. Heuehehehe.

I know but....this is taking so much time. I swear if I don't get the event rewards from all of this. Aaaaaa. 100 points towards the event for every club basket that is opened.
I have like 5 gold bars. omg.
I entered a contest... i think. Opened the other things, got a new cat...dog. It's really a dog, let's be honest.
I have like 200 metal pieces now. xD I'll never need to craft string or uh...wood or metal. STILL OPENING THEM UP. Let's goooo
Posted in Starting from scratch. ;;; Posted 5 years ago
@pachi: Yeah, that's understandable. I usually vent to my husband or co-workers (if it's work related). I try not to complain so much, but there's a lot of little things that get on my nerves. Bahahaha.
Yeahh! I've never been one to write, I guess besides venting online?? But it seemed like a good idea. U WU

Pokemon gijinka are still cool in my opinion. KOFF. I made gym leaders and a trainer for them too, but I never really did much past that. I'm awful at writing and I never seem to have enough money to get art of them or anything past that. So, they just sit there and look pretty. LMAO.

Ahhhh. I WILL POST WHEN FinISHED. I just started shading it before I decided to get sleep and pass out. aaaaa. When art inspiration hits too late. I'm going to be mad if I open it up and just hate it. This is why I finish pieces in one go. REEE.

Yo. I AM STILL OPENING BASKETS.
This is insane. 16 minutes of opening baskets non stop. This person just wanted to see us suffer. TT___TT
Do we report him or something?? I'm tired of opening all these things
Posted in Starting from scratch. ;;; Posted 5 years ago
@pachi: Bahaha, I've seen people do that too. Any type of venting (besides possibly the person you're mad at... or family or something) is good venting! It's nice to just let things out. I remember hearing that writing it down and then ripping it up or burning it or something is a good way to get it out. Sometimes I draw, so I suppose it's the same thing. Squints.

I think I usually float along certain ones. I never really super fixate on something. q vq ;;; I mean, I like animal crossing but I don't do anything other than play the game for a few hours. I've created characters and gijinkas for pokemon and stuff too, but.... nothing too crazy, I guess?
To each their own! : )

Yeah, you're right. U WU Gotta start somewhere.
I ended up drawing something last night, but it wasn't chibi, so I've got that going for me. It takes way too long with editing. Anatomy is hard. aaaaaaa

Yo, why is there so many baskets in the catgame club. I swear I've opened 30 + of them and I still need to collect 100 more hearts. Is this glitched???
Posted in Starting from scratch. ;;; Posted 5 years ago
@dragonickittens: It's alright! You do then when you want to, not for me. Hahaha.
No, I understand that. I haven't been sleeping too well either lately. It's just... crazy here. I know I have a lot of problems because I keep thinking of stuff and my mind doesn't stop. Especially with this whole pandemic thing going on, it's been rough being able to fall asleep, you know? My co-workers have been having the same problems, so it's not just us. Haha.

Hmm, yeah that's always on a square. I think it's a 200 x 200 canvas? A lot of the surrounding area is empty, which makes it so even. I mainly use them for my TH profiles things so they're neat. I still have a few more to go now. Hahaha.

Thanks! I ended up trying to draw yesterday and managed something. It's not chibi though, but I needed a lot of help from my husband with anatomy. I should be finishing it today if I can push myself to do some art. ;;; Let's see how that goes.
Yeah, there's tons of good ones! I saw one for different brushes and one for a star/galaxy one, it was really cool! Still haven't downloaded them though. Hahahaha. I don't think a lot of the detailed ones really match my coloring or chibi style.
Heck yeah! CSP is an amazing program. My hubby and my two art friends also use it, so it's nice everyone using the same one. Lmao.

Ahh, I see. The whole thing is sorta confusing to me, but as long as it's making people money, I suppose it works. @ ____ @
Good ol' amazon prime. My hubby does that with a few streams that he watches. I think he alternates between the same 2-3 streamers.
Bahahaha. Yeah. I tried to really push RLC once, and I got all of two commissions- one being from a friend, so I feel like it really doesn't count. Unfortunately art is just a hobby now, so I don't think I'll ever go back to it. I make more money with my occupation then I ever would with art, and it's more stable. @ ___ @ I thought about doing dA points as well, but ehhh. It wouldn't be worth it in that point either. I'll have gold on gaia and volts on here as a option for as long as I can. Though, when I have full time work + school for awhile, I don't think I'll find a lot of time to draw. @ ____ @.
Oh, we can always do art trades when I can though!!

Ahh, good point, good point. It's a pretty neat system, especially if people don't have the money to spend, you know?
I mean, twitch is doing something right, since there's tons of people on it. Even competitive gaming is streamed through there, and practically everyone know the platform, and it's still doing well.
Posted in Starting from scratch. ;;; Posted 5 years ago
@dragonickittens: To be fair it was right as I was going to sleep, and I needed to work today. Just a crazy day altogether.

Ahhh. I generally don't draw in squares though, so that's my main struggle. e ___ e
I'm kinda tempted to try now, but I'm also not in an art mood lately so.... MAYBE I WILL ATTEMPT. I've done icons before, so I just need to put myself in that mindset. U WU
Ah, I already own CSP, so just learning it is the hard part. hahah. I'm pretty stubborn in my way though, I generally stick to my old ways. ;;

WHaaaaa? I've never heard of that before, that's awesome! Though I guess a lot of people have it restricted since they want to make money from it.
It can only be used for 24 hours? That's pretty lame. q vq


Posted in Starting from scratch. ;;; Posted 5 years ago
@pachi: Ahhh, that's good at least! * V* Feel free to rant away! ( I know I do all the time already so... here I am. BAHAHHA)

I think I started it late, so I saw a lot of the spoilers and stuff but I was like AAAAAAAAAAA.
There's too many fandoms to keep up with all of them. aksdjhfaksdf.

I didn't even draw anything... I just.... used an old drawing and typed on it. BAHAHAHA. NEXT LEVEL LAZY.
Seriously. The art struggle is real sometimes.
Posted in Starting from scratch. ;;; Posted 5 years ago
@dragonickittens: Yeah! I had fun talking with Chi when we were both online. U WU
Ahhh, I wouldn't even know where to start tbh. ;; I've only tuned in to one stream I think?? I can't remember what you were doing though. /squints. THEN I MISSED THE ONE LAST NIGHT. WEEP.

AHhh. yeah. I draw fairly large and squeezing in details would get tough. kajfhksjhfs. I'm not used to filling the whole canvas either, you know? I suppose some of the background would be transparent anyway. > > ;;
CSP is great though! I was thinking about getting into animation again, but their animation is way too confusing and I'm too lazy to try and learn. Haha.

Awwh, that's awesome! TT___TT If I streamed, I'd be ecstatic if people used it. aaaa
Oooh, I didn't even know you could do that on twitch. o ___ o They can buy from just watching? Unless you're talking about another stream thing- then I remember seeing that there too, which was pretty awesome.

AFKJHAF AND FOR THE TRADE. ;;;;
Posted in Starting from scratch. ;;; Posted 5 years ago
@pachi: ahhhh. I think I might need to star video-ing soon. I'm not doing it today though. Way too tired for that and it's short notice so. EH.
Seriously? You would think it would be easier from here on out. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. I'm not ready for more work. I want to live that comfy life. ;;;

Haha, it was all over the place! I wasn't really... good at it, but it was nice to play and get messages. LMAO. I was always so mad when I went to bed and missed the late night ones. cdJHADKJahs.
Whaaaaa? That's awesome! O _ O !!

Yess. Just need to draw something or write for it. No motivation. Literally burnt out. /flops.

AHHH THANKIES. WILL GO READ NOW! NYOOMS
