This is just a collab between me and my older sister, =KikyouBlossom. She drew the lines, and I colored it. We did this picture as a tribute to Itachi, for his birthday on June 9th. :heart: I kinda like the coloring, yet I kinda don't, in a way. I could have done better. I was trying out a new coloring style with this pic, and I had a lot of fun with it. =) Overall, I guess I sort of like the way it turned out, it's certainly one of my better coloring jobs. Thank you so much Liz for letting me color your amazing lines! =D Check out the original drawing here!

Itachi is LOVE! :heart:

Greetings! You may call me Mandy or Crimson, either one is fine. =) As you can tell, I love anime and manga. 8D I love many different titles, but right now, my favorite is probably D. Gray-Man. I also like Gundam SEED, Elfen Lied, Claymore, Bleach, Yuugiou, Yuu Yuu Hakusho, FullMetal Alchemist, Chrno Crusade, and a lot of others. XD Honestly, I haven't been thrilled with Naruto recently, so it's gone down on my favorites. I'm also not ashamed to say I have become a Transformers fangirl. XDD I love to draw and write, and until recently, I'd been drawing a LOT of Naruto fanart. As in all of my art was Naruto related. ^^; But now I'm trying to draw other fandoms as well. XD Lately, I've been working on my own original series, called Exiled, a rather depressing war novel that takes place 1000 years into the future. So you'll be seeing a ton of artwork relating to that. Music is my inspiration, and most of my drawings or stories are based off a song I heard. I love to make friends, so feel free to talk to me. =) I won't bite, and I'm generally very friendly and patient with people. And if you have any questions about anything, I'm always happy to answer questions. ^_^

Summer To-Do List 8D

Journal Entry: Tue Jun 2, 2009, 11:42 PM




Updates

Well, the long awaited time is finally here. :XD: Thursday the 28th was my last day of school! :dance: I just didn't get around to updating my journal until now. ^^; But regardless, I am so ready for summer. >X3 I'll spare you all the rant of how hard and busy these last few weeks of school were, because it would take up too much space and most of you probably don't care. And don't even get me started on the AP World History exam, urg... :iconwthplz: And next year, I'll be a senior. :heart: :iconimhappyplz: It's kind of hard to believe that next year will be my last year of school before college. D8



Lol, I finally put up some CSS for this journal....like...what, 2 weeks before my subscription expires? XD;;; *epic fails* Oh well, I'm resubscribing when this one runs out anyway. XD



Aynway, I have a LOT and I mean A LOT of stuff I need to get done. :iconotlplz: So I made a "To-Do List" of all the things I hope to get done this summer. 8DD;;;; Wish me luck in completing it...I'm going to need it. XD;;;



To-Do List

Note that not everything on here is in order, but anything art related is ordered by priority.




  1. Contest Prizes Jesus Christ, I'm so sorry... :dead: Feel free to shoot me for taking so long.

  2. Clear out my deviations and message centre

  3. Create my own drawing style and get faster and better at art

  4. Finish planning and begin writing Exiled, my original story

  5. Make a website for Exiled

  6. Become more active on DA and quit being such a jerk to all of my DA buddies T.T

  7. Make a deviant ID

  8. Get a freaking job or open commissions ^^;

  9. Clean my room :ohnoes:



Aaaannnnddd...the list will probably get bigger. ^^; Oh Jesus, I've got my work cut out for me...



Shameless Plea for Help

Okay...because I fail so much... Is anyone really REALLY good at designing futuristic-ish, kinda military style clothing? XD;;; Or know something that might help me? Also, does anyone know where I can find a really good tutorial that will help with placement of shading and light sources and all that? And one more, does anybody know of any tutorials that might help with anatomy/perspective/poses/etc? Or know where I can find something that might help with any of the above? Please, I'm desperate. D8 I am so not happy with my art right now, and I seriously need to get better. So if you could help out in any way, I'd really appreciate it. =)

Art Policy

While I do love to draw, I'm VERY slow at it, so I don't pump art out at a fast rate. Actually, you're lucky if you see one deviation a month from me. ^^; But I'm trying to get faster. So please don't take offense if I owe you something and haven't gotten it done yet. ^^; I never forget about that kind of thing, so I will get it done eventually, you just have to be patient with me. You're always welcome to message me and politely ask me what kind of progress I've got on your request. As as you ask nicely and don't sound demanding, I'll be nice as well and answer you as truthfully as I can. And chances are, I'll be apologetic for taking so long, so yes, I do feel bad about making people wait. And whether you believe it or not, it's never my intention to cheat someone out of something. I'm honestly not that kind of person.

I don't do requests. Ever. And chances are, I won't. I've got too much else to do. I don't normally do random giftart, since I never have time/never get inspiration until it's too late. So, I don't really expect any gift art in return, though I would be extremely grateful if you do ever want to draw me something. *gets shot* One of these days, I do plan on drawing some gift art for all my friends here as a kind of thanks for being so patient with me. ^^;

Right now, art trades are not open, since I've got a lot of stuff I already owe people. Commissions aren't open either, unless someone actually wants one. ^^;

If you have any questions about my art policy, feel free to ask, because I'm not good at explaining things.

Comment Policy

I'll just go ahead and say this right now. XD Like with my art, I'm very slow at commenting on deviations and replying to messages. ^^; Especially during the school year. X_X;;; I tend to get lazy, and let them pile up, which I know is not good, but that's just how I am. ^^; I do go through them when I have time, but it may take me a while. XD So be prepared, because you'll probably get random comments from me on art you submitted two months ago or something like that. XDD But yeah, I just want to warn you that I am slow with that kind of stuff, but it's not because I'm ignoring you or anything. So please be patient with me.

As for comments, I thrive on them. I prefer good, advanced critique on my drawings, unless I specifically say I don't want critique(which is rare). If you want to fave my work, I greatly appreciate a comment as well. I'm a comment whore, but, regardless, I'm not going to chase you down and murder you if you don't. XD

I also try to give good comments in return, which is another reason it takes me so long to write comments. However, I usually give comments equivalent to what I receive. I want to be fair, but I don't want to offend anyone either. ^^; It's just the way I work. If you always leave me one-worded or short comments such as "Wow!" or "Cool!" or "Aww, so kawaii! 8D," then that's probably what you'll get from me in return. On the other hand, if you leave me detailed comments telling me what you like about the drawing and what i can do to improve next time, and stuff like that, then in return, I'll give you detailed comments. However, regardless of what kind of comments you leave me, or even if you don't comment on my art at all, when you ask me for advanced critique, I will try to always give it to you. I go by how much I think you value comments and whatnot.

I don't usually comment on a drawing if I can't think of anything to say, or it doesn't particularly interest me. Sorry, but I watch too many people to comment on every single one. And even if I did, the comment wouldn't really mean much. ^^;
