Fan Fiction Rant... Feel free to ignore. :'3Ok I'm SICK of reading Sonic Fan Fiction where the main character is this guy: http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111202005638/sonicfanon/images/thumb/7/7c/Yellow_shadow_recolor.jpg/362px-Yellow_shadow_recolor.jpg with his girlfriend Amy Rose/Rouge/Blaze/Sally Acorn/ or some girl from a shitty TV show, Movie, or book... So Yellow Shadow, Lets call him Phillip, Has 18 forms.... Super, Hyper, Dark, Super Dark, Razz-berry, Ultra, Even fucking Super Sayian 5... All these fan fictions?
Same FUCKING thing.
Summary of BS.
Phillip's 'Girlfriend' was kidnapped by Eggman who plans to destroy Earth (no joke. they called Mobius Earth...) and Sonic was a dick and didn't want to save the world. Phillip then KILLED Sonic and fused with his body... Still reading? I'M NOT

Block evading is a bannable offence.I blocked you because I'm done dealing with with people getting upset when they can't fucking read two simple group rules and abide by them.
All those who will do this in the future will just be removed from my groups and blocked by me.
You told me how you felt while accusing me of spamming and harassing you.
I told you how I felt.
That was the end of it.
You call me immature for blocking you, when you went out of your way to make a whole new account just to note me and block me.
Yeah, I'm the immature one.
Now that you're main account is blocked from this one AND my group, and you proceeded to block me from your alt you made, hopefully this will be in end of such stupidity.
-----------------------------------------
Now this person is saying that I
can either be banned or my group can be shut down. just for saying this exact sentace-
This isn't allowed in #Sparkle-Sales -.-;
Because they think it's spam/harassment/advertisement for my group.

Truth about halloweenI've noticed more and more people have stopped celebrating it completely. And churches are more and more often claiming Halloween to be sacrilegious, or satanic.
Truth is, neither are correct. Halloween dates back to a time BEFORE Christ.
We have Halloween, Christmas, and Easter thanks to one group. And no, these holidays do not belong to Christians;. Pagans set up and created these holidays. Many of you will argue, but this isn't a matter of opinion.
Pagans are an offensive collective term for anyone who isn't a part of the major religions, so I will call them their REAL name. Celts. The celtic tribes celebrates Samhain, Pronounced {S-ow-ain} for a main reason. It was the one day of the year they believed the spirits of loved ones could come back to the world of the living to check up on or see their loved ones. See celts believed the world of the living, and heaven/hell (or they collectively called this the spirit world) to be separated by a Veil. Which they believed was thinnest on

100 ANIMAL CHALLENGE!!!yeah!! i try to draw all this animals!!! LOOL!!!

CREATED BY: :iconalaitallon:
Your mission, should you choose to accept it: Draw each and every one of the animals on this list. There is no time limit. It doesn't have to be in order, it doesn't even have to be anthro/humanoid. It doesn't even really have to be fully colored, it can be a pencil sketch if you'd prefer. Just give them a try. Not only will you push yourself in the process, you will learn about more of the amazing and exciting animals this world has to offer! Feel free to post this in your journal or webpage to show your progress, share it with friends, or simply use for inspiration. Some of these WILL be difficult, but you can do it! I tried not to make any of these so obscure that they wouldn't have much information or pictures of them. Some of these are also extinct, but all of them have artistic interpretations and pictures of their skeletons available on the internet or in books.

Want to see YOUR favourite Pokemon drawn by me? :DWell, then you should commission me!!

That's right, I am open for Pokemon-commissions now. I decided not only to draw your favourite Pokemon, but also to feature one of your pictures in the description, which will be viewed by thousands of people!

I wont take too many commissions by now (about 3 or so), so better get your offer now!

There are two possible commission-types:
1. Pokedex-entry:
Example:

You tell me, which Pokemon I should create a Pokedex-entry for and you can also tell me, if I should include some specific information or features etc. The price is set to 120-170 USD (depending on complexity), as these kinds of pictures cost me a lot lot of time and work! If you want me to include other Pokemon in the background (like other evolutions or other little Pokemon) it will add to the price.
2. Full background painting:
Examples:

You tell me,

Building a portfolioLike a legitimate one that I could use for Real Art Jobs, if... i can every find any to apply for lmao. I just feel like I should be aiming for actual art gigs during the summers to come because uhhh it's something i can do why not put it to actual work for a while... because I'm pretty much doing art for other people all the time anyway, why not shoot for something a little more ambitious?
Give me all your tips! What should I keep in mind? Do you have any ideas for coming up with content for images? I have maybe two pieces I feel like I could include right now so this will be mostly from scratch ;_; if you went to art school, can you tell me some of the assignments you got that really interested you and left you with a piece you were proud of?
10-20 finished pieces, yes? Separate online sketchbook, maybe?
How much variation in style would you recommend? Consistency/recognizability, or flexibility? At this point I don't really want to tie myself down because I feel like I'm just now fi

Feature... for you!For each of the 20 first people answering this journal, I will put their avatar and the three deviations I like most from their gallery on the list!

"TRADITIONAL SURREALIST TECHNIQUE"“TRADITIONAL SURREALIST ART AND TECHNIQUES”
An comprehensive study of the Methods and Techniques employed by the Surrealist Artists.
By::icongromyko:
-2008-
Surrealism in art, poetry, and literature utilizes numerous unique techniques and games to provide inspiration. Many of these are said to free imagination by producing a creative process free of conscious control. The importance of the unconscious as a source of inspiration is central to the nature of surrealism.
The Surrealist movement has been a fractious one since its inception. The value and role of the various techniques has been one of many subjects of disagreement. Some Surrealists consider automatism and games to be sources of inspiration only, while others consider them as starting points for finished works. Others consider the items created through automatism to be finished works themselves, needing no further refinement.
SURREALISTIC TECHNIQUES:
• 1 Aerography
• 2 Automatism
• 3 Bulletism

The IslanderThe dark water licked the sides of the small ship harshly, sending splashes of cold water on deck where Spencer's dog, Chio, barked at the third presence that appeared. The ghostly figure's stark white-blue coloring contrasted with the endless grey sky. The day was surprisingly clear of black clouds and rain showers.
Chio, a thin brown Labrador Retriever, continued to bark for his master to come see the arrival of yet another ghost. The ghost was obviously male, and had been wearing a white lab coat upon his death. He looked at Chio with an annoyed glare, crossing his arms and pushing his translucent glasses up the bridge of his nose. The

Supernova I stand on the roof of the highest skyscraper in New York City; one more gust of wind and I fall. I gaze upon the bustling streets below, unable to distinguish any person from the mortal beside them. My hair whips around my face, caressing my cheeks and neck. I nudge a pebble off of the building, praying that this is the last time.
Hands in my pockets, I hum the funeral march, and I lean forward, falling, air slapping me in the face, feeling alive, feeling like I have power over this curse. I don’t even hear the screams, just the funeral march getting louder and louder until seconds before my body hits the concrete and everythin

Furry/anthro/animal art challenge!

Sun Jan 27, 2008, 10:03 PM

There have been a lot of various art challenges going around, but I thought it might be a fun idea to start one that may inject some creativity and new interest into the furry/anthro art community. Far too often, we see the community saturated with wolves, foxes, big cats, rabbits, and occasionally an equine. It's time for some variety! So I thought it would be an interesting challenge to not just push myself personally, but to see if the rest of the community would like to do the same. Therefore, I've created this list of animals that have seen not nearly enough love in the fandom. While some of these may be canines, felines, etc., I tried to pick a few that are relatively unseen in the furry community.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it: Draw each and every one of the animals on this list. There is no time limit. It doesn't have to be in order, it doesn't even have to be anthro/humanoid. It doesn't even really have to be fully colored, it can be a pencil sketch if you'd prefer. Just give them a try. Not only will you push yourself in the process, you will learn about more of the amazing and exciting animals this world has to offer! Feel free to post this in your journal or webpage to show your progress, share it with friends, or simply use for inspiration. Some of these WILL be difficult, but you can do it! I tried not to make any of these so obscure that they wouldn't have much information or pictures of them. Some of these are also extinct, but all of them have artistic interpretations and pictures of their skeletons available on the internet or in books.
