Also, if I were, I wouldn't be bleeding right about now. Well, at least this means I won't be for the beginning of school or for AnimeFest ( Read more... )

Ah yes, art thievery. It is a sort of perverse but addictive thing to follow, isn't it? I can't really explain it, but nothing feels as good as that squelching sound of justice being served when a thief is underneath someone's metaphorical thumb. Bwahaha.

I really don't know what it is, exactly, because I'm not like, Haha, you got OWNED! more like. Huh. Well gee, what did you expect would happen? :\

PS The other night I had a dream you randomly IMed me for some reason. I was thinking, "HAY I should just randomly IM her" But um. Then I kept being shy. Hi. :D

I have no idea what that picture you need a background for is from but the characters are sort of reminding me of graffiti'd brick wall... I'm sorry it's cliche but that is what I'm getting

Also my font quest is faaaaaiiilling me and you.

Yeah I'm pretty sure it needs to be something abstract and not actual scenery because um Mukuro's legs are kind of missing. I was thinking some sort of grungy thing like that but omgggg fail. I guess I'll see if I can do graffiti though.

D: I'm kind of sad, I have so many but that one is pixellated and I don't know what anything else is.

Ah lol I've been hearing about all the wank and douchebaggery surrounding artist alley at Otakon... Seeing the deviantart profiles is pretty lulzy at the moment. I like how I've never even heard of these two until now because of how unremarkable their styles are.. they just blend in with all the other clones at dA lol.

I've been just faving a bit more at dA because I have the same problem. I feel like leaving "how cute" or "cool" is even worse.

Hey me neither! Even though I possibly have seen at least one of them at at least one con. But whatever. I just hope they get a clue and don't try to pull that shit anywhere else...this is going to be one of those cases where a couple of douches ruin shit for everyone else, I can tell. I think I read that one con outlawed fanart because of them for some reason or other, and if that ever happens in Dallas I am pretty much SOL. :D

I don't know, I think I'd rather at least have that than nothing at all...but you can always try to think of more than that to say? I am hopefully going to make an effort in the future...I left more comments on stuff today than I have in like. The past three months. *fails*

Yeah, thanks for the comments you left recently! I've just been failing on replying to messages.. ;_; It's very hard for me to express what I like about other people's art sometimes, especially if they already have dozens of comments with exactly with what I was going to say. XD;

I forgot to suggest in my original comment that maybe street/industrial park rubble or a ghetto kind of background might be neat to try with those characters.

Yeah, omg I failed so hard in all the art classes where I was supposed to be critiquing things. D: I'm going to see if I can try to work on that on those gallery sites, but haha we'll see how long that lasts.

I was thinking about that, but waaah, I'm so bad at that grungy kind of design...everything I do is neat and clean I don't know how to switch gears and make something dirty. D: It's distressing, because I like how that sort of thing looks, I just don't understand how to create it somehow, and it seems like it shouldn't be that hard. Maybe I'm overthinking it?
