I can haz Tropheez?
Why yes, I'm still alive, why do you ask? XD;;;
Sorry for the unannounced disappearance; Happy Chinese New Year to those who celebrate it! ^^
As to where I was during the not-quite-hiatus, I was...
On NEOPETS, advertising my Gelert art for votes in the Beauty Contest. 8DDDDD And yes, before you ask, I do still frequent Neopets; lovely way to spend time.
(Please excuse the pixel-y effect; had to shrink the size to 17KB. Also excuse the cruddy anatomy; that's just me. ^^;;)
Long story short: I was basically haunting the BC forum boards in hopes that I'd garner enough votes to get a trophy for my art.
And guess what? It paid off; I nabbed Gold in species and 6th overall! (^o^)9 Twas a very pleasant surprise; there were some other really good entries that were (to be honest) much better than mine. In total, my pet nabbed 586 votes; way, waaay more than I thought I'd get - I was anticipating only around a hundred or so.
Anyway, since I was on an art roll during that advertising period:
YES, BE PLAGUED WITH MORE OF MY STRANGE ANATOMY. >DDDD Mostly experimenting with shading on the right though; just found out that Photoshop Elements doesn't have the Pen tool, woe. T_T I don't suppose anyone has another Photoshop installer they could share?
I haven't checked out my Friends list in awhile; I'm anticipating skip 500+ or so with communities. X.X;; Any significant events that I missed, guys? I'd appreciate the updates.
*stretches fingers* Need to get back to doing proper writing soon; need to restart my fanfiction and get back into the groove of the pen (or rather, the keyboard).
EDITEI: Rediscovered a link to Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening by Robert Frost. Always such a peaceful, tranquil poem to read. :)
