Pierrot

It's okay, it's okay. Don't cry I was only playing the fool,
I am merely a nameless clown in this small circus.

As I try to balance on a great ball ;as round as the moon, with nothing to support me
it is simply part of the job I do ;
to make conspicuous falls and to be laughed at.

But I saw you crying in the audience, and I was moved
Please do not put on such a sad face when others laugh
Taking notice of your tears unknown to your papa or mama,
I felt that it was my duty to wipe them for you:

"It's okay, it's okay. Please believe me, It doesn't hurt at all.
You should just keep on laughing , please just laugh for me."
It's okay, it's okay. I'm supposed to make clumsy falls,
I am merely just a clown in this circus afterall.

You, refusing to stop weeping, said to me
"You are lying, and that makes me sad and I cry"
"But I did not tell you one single lie."
As soon as I said that, you started crying again:

"Show me your unpainted real face hidden under your mask,
which you don't normally show to the audience.
To feel pain when you get hurt, or to weep when you feel agonized,
that kind of natural emotion is nothing to be ashamed

It's okay, it's okay. Don't worry if you can't put on a good smile,
just please do not lie about it again.
It's okay, it's okay. You don't have to bear it on your own,
for I will cry together with you, then your face can be shown"

It's okay, it's okay. You have found for me
my real face which I seem to have forgotten, but now it's found again!
"It's okay, it's okay." It was like a magic charm. Now I see.
Look, the liar clown has disappeared! So now, I can finally see you clear
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm pretty sure these are singable. Anyway. (To my watchers...)Sorry for all these journals full of Vocaloid English adaptions! I wish you could organize them from like:

Lyrics/Journals/Updates/Other (maybe some other stuff like Story/Poetry/etc. and if there is a way to do that I don't know about it.)

I just found a place where in fact there is a "Music" spot but it's not like individually placed (like in the Gallery)....

This is a sweet song. I don't know which PV to pick for this song...Miku and Little Miku or the other one with the woman and the man. Wish there was a way to like cross them over within eachother for one entirely new PV.

Anyway, these lyrics are here cuz I wanted to share them, as usual, and I have no where else to put it really.

QUESTION: -How many journals do you guys want me to post and which types. Like Vocaloid {English} covers (lyrics)or regular journals about what I do and boring crap. Or a mix of both. How many?

Kay. So I would love feedback. On anything. I don't care.

Thank you and gomen to all the people who "Watch" me. You want art. I know TTATT.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If these lyrics look like or resemble someone else's work, that's a bad coincidence :/
Anyone can go ahead and sing these lyrics. BUT there are conditions.

1.) Notify me that you are going to sing/use my lyrics.

2.) Give credit to -REI-

3.) Post me the link or tell me where to go so I can see the cover! ^-^

:bulletgreen: This morning, when I came back home, I found a really interesting note when taking the elevator. I couldn't help taking a photo from my mobile phone:



:below: TRANSLATION :below:

" DO NOT URINATE IN THE ELEVATOR

- Urinate before leaving home.
- If you're coming back home, please kindly wait just a few more seconds until you are out, it will not take so long.

The President of the Homeowners Association, 2-F "


:bulletgreen: The best of all is that note clearly indicates who this was written TO because of the language our president used on it, so we all can know who did it, since only one of our neighborings speaks that dialect :XD:

:bulletgreen: The point is (in my opinion):  Does an elevator really take that long that you can't wait a LITTLE bit more??? :iconwhywouldyoudothatplz: lol it seems some people get exasperated so easy. Dunno why but I totally imagine our president also putting chairs for them inside the elevator next time.

Hello!



Hello and welcome to my little html tutorial. I've been working with html codes for a couple of years and I'm going to teach you what I know about using some basic html on deviantART. This won't make you a html expert or something and I'm not an expert myself but it will give just enough knowledge to make your journals, comments, news articles and other neat and lovely looking. :)

deviantART actually has FAQs about html but I still wanted to do this because they look a bit unorganized, in my opinion. Also, why would you want to look for those FAQs when you can just open this news article where you have everything in one place? :dummy:

You may already know some of these, but I hope you'll find at least something helpful in this news article.

Some basic html



:bulletorange:Bold text: <b>insert text here</b>

:pointr: Result: Example text
:pointr:This html code will work in: journal entries, group blogs, comments, artist's comments, news articles, notes and probably everywhere.

:bulletyellow:Italic text: <i>insert text here</i>

:pointr: Result: Example text
:pointr:This html code will work in: journal entries, group blogs, comments, artist's comments, news articles, notes and probably everywhere.

:bulletorange:Underlined text: <u>insert text here</u>

:pointr: Result: Example text
:pointr:This html code will work in: journal entries, group blogs, comments, artist's comments, news articles, notes and probably everywhere.

:bulletyellow:Strike: <strike>insert text here</strike>

:pointr: Result: Example text
:pointr:This html code will work in: journal entries, group blogs, comments, artist's comments, news articles, notes and probably everywhere.

:bulletorange:Subscript: <sub>insert text here</sub>

:pointr: Result: Example text
:pointr:This html code will work in: journal entries, group blogs, comments, artist's comments, news articles, notes and probably everywhere.

:bulletyellow:Superscript: <sup>insert text here</sup>

:pointr: Result: Example text
:pointr:This html code will work in: journal entries, group blogs, comments, artist's comments, news articles, notes and probably everywhere.

:pointr:Also, it's good to know: You can use <sup> and <sub> as many times you want to make your text even smaller. <sub><sub><sub><sub>insert text here</sub></sub></sub></sub>
:pointr:Result: Tiny text

:bulletorange:Small text: <small>insert text here</small>

:pointr:This html code will work in: journal entries, group blogs, comments, artist's comments and notes.

:bulletyellow:Blockquote: <blockquote>insert text here</blockquote>

:pointr: Result:
Example text

:pointr:This html code will work in: journal entries, group blogs, comments, artist's comments, news articles, notes and probably everywhere.

:bulletorange:Centering text: <div align="center">insert text here


:pointr:Result:
Example text

:pointr:This html code will work in: journal entries, group blogs and news articles. It won't work in notes, comments and artist's comments. It used to work in artist's comments, but for some reason, it doesn't any more.
:pointr:Also, it's good to know: you can replace "center" with "right" ("left" would be useless since it's default.)

:pointr:Result:
Example text

:pointr:This html code will work in: journal entries, group blogs, comments, artist's comments, news articles.

:bulletyellow:Horizontal line: <hr>

:pointr:Result:

:pointr:This html code will work in: journal entries, group blogs, comments, artist's comments, news articles and notes.

Font size - headings



:bulletorange:Headings:Since you can't actually change the font size with normal font size html codes, you'll need to use headings. There are 6 headings types:
<h1>Example text</h1>
<h2>Example text</h2>
<h3>Example text</h3>
<h4>Example text</h4>
<h5>Example text</h5>
<h6>Example text</h6>

:pointr:Result:

Example text


Example text


Example text


Example text


Example text

Example text



:new::pointr: This code will work in (premium) journals, news articles, artist's comments and special boxes on user's profile. It will not work in comments.


:bulletyellow:Code: Used for defining computer code, but deviants just use it to change their font. <code>Insert text here</code>

:pointr:Result: Example text
:pointr:This html code will work pretty much everywhere, I think. I don't use it that often so I'm not sure, but considering the popularity of it, I think it works everywhere.




Links and photos



:bulletorange:Including links to pages: <a href="insert url here">text that will be clickable</a>

:pointr: Result: Here's a link to deviantART
:pointr:This html code will work in: journal entries, group blogs, comments, artist's comments, news articles, but will not work in group notes.

:bulletyellow:Including photos: <a href="Insert link to the page where the photo is originally coming from"><img src="Insert link to photo"></a>
:pointr:This html code will work in: Premium journal entries, Super group blogs, custom boxes.

:bulletorange:Using big thumbs: <a href="Insert link address here"><img src="Insert Image URL here" width="Insert the desired width of the photo"></a>
:pointr:This html code will work in: journal entries (for premium members only), Super group blogs and custom boxes.

:pointr:To copy a link address, you need to go to the page of the photo you want to link and copy the address in the address bar of your browser. To copy image URL, you need to right click on the photo itself and select Copy image location if you use Firefox or something that implies that you're copying the location of the photo if you're using other browsers. The maximum size of a dA thumbnail is 150×150 which is rather small. Using 300 or 400 or even 500 pixels won't ruin your profile page if you're planning to use this in a journal, but bigger sizes will. The photos might even be cropped, depending on the size of your monitor and the size of the thumb.

:bulletyellow:Description pop-up:You can also include little pop-up text to your links by using this code:
<acronym title="popup text"><a href="insert url here">text that will be clickable</a></acronym>

:pointr:Result: deviantART




Combining codes



:bulletorange:You can also combine as many codes as you want. Let's say that the letter A is a start code and /A is the end code, and B is a different code that ends with /B, the same thing goes for C - /C and D - /D. The correct closing order goes like this: A B C D insert text here /D/C/B/A.
For example; here's a subscripted text that's bold, underlined, strike, italic, centerd and contains a link:
This won't be easy to read, but you get the point. Here's a link to dA again.


My code for this was:
<div align="center"><sub><b><i><u><strike>This won't be easy to read, but you get the point. <a href="[link]">Here's a link to dA again.</a></strike></u></i></b></sub></div>

I just wanted to show you all how ridiculously long and confusing this looks but it's really, really easy so don't be afraid of it. :nod:




Special characters



Here is the link to the special characters that you will probably use rarely. On the other hand, if you're ever planing to create a plz account or if you need to demonstrate html, these are the most common ones that you'll use:

:bulletyellow:Less-than sign: &lt;
:pointr:Result: <

:bulletorange:More-than sign: &gt;
:pointr:Result: >

:bulletyellow:Colon &#58;
:pointr:Result: :

Thumbs and username and icon tags



This isn't really html, but you'd be surprised how many people doesn't know how this works.

:bulletorange:Usernames: :devusername:, e.g. :devshaplz:
:pointr:Result: ~Shaplz

:bulletyellow:User icons: :iconusername: (that's how the plz accounts work), e.g. :iconshaplz:
:pointr:Result: :iconshaplz:

:pointr:You can also use these for linking groups.

:bulletorange:Thumbnails:Including thumbnails is very easy because all you need to do is copy the code located on the right side of each deviation. It's under "Share" part of the deviations, below groups and above "Details" and "Statistics".
There is a "Thumb" box with the code that usually looks something like this :thumb208669995:
:pointr:Result:

Remember


:bulletyellow: It's very important to close your tags with "</>" because the rest of the text will have the same effect like the one you wanted to point out.

:bulletorange: Also, always hit "preview" button before you post a comment/journal entry/etc. no matter how sure you are you got it right.

:bulletyellow: If a deviant gets carried away with <sub> or <sup> tags, remember to


keep calm
and
zoom the page



:bulletorange: Remember that nobody knows all the tags by heart so don't be afraid to fave this article and visit whenever you need. ;)

:bulletyellow: If you ever need some help with html, remember that Google is your friend.

:bulletorange: If you know some other html codes that can be used on dA, feel free to share them. I never said I knew everything about this, I'm just here to share my knowledge. :aww:

I hope this helped! :wave:

You can try out the demo here.
It will ask you to install the Unity3D web player plugin for your browser. The game is 30mb so it might take some time to load. This demo lets you visit a few areas and lets you interact with some NPCs - a small taste of what to expect. This demo is for the mobile version of the game, the desktop versions will feature higher resolution graphics and a different control scheme. Animations, UI elements, level design and other functionality may change (for the better) on the final version.


New Area Indicator - You can tap (click) this or the Action Button to move to a new area. This will only activate if your character is within range. The Action Button's icon will change to indicate the action is available.
Non Player Character - You can tap (click) this or the Action Button to initiate a conversation. This will only activate if your character is within range. The Action Button's icon will change to indicate the action is available.
Left Arrow - Moves the player Left.
Right Arrow - Moves the player Right.
Joystick - You can also drag the joystick left or right to move. Dragging halfway will make your character walk. Dragging all the way makes it run.
Action Button - The multipurpose Action Button's icon changes depending on the available action.


Please let us know if you have any problems running the demo at leo@kontrabida.ca

7 Tips To Instantly Become A Better Artist

Journal Entry: Sun Jun 10, 2012, 2:06 PM
Practice, practice, practice.  Gah.

Attend life drawing classes over the summer.  Blegh.

Take a sketchbook with you everywhere you go, and fill up ten of those bad boys at the coffee shop.  Pfft.

Let's be honest here.  We all want to become better artists, like, right frickin' now.  We don't even want to have to suffer through hour-long tutorials of some pompous snooty hack bloviating over the intricate methods of drawing eyes on YouTube.  We want progress, we want improvement, and we want it on our desk in ten minutes ago!

Fine, fine, I hear ya'.  While these aren't going to make an instant Leonardo da Vinci out of you, these might get you up to...ehh...Basquiat caliber.  Sure, I've made tutorials, but those are more about setting up Photoshop for the sake of coloring an image, and not so much building yourself artistically.  Those are more technical lessons.  Artistically, the learning process takes time, it comes mostly from within, but fortunately there are some things that'll make the laborious process much easier in the long run.


Seven things you can do RIGHT NOW to become a better artist:



1: Clean your work space.

Before you begin on any artistic project, take a few minutes (or hours if it has been a while) to clean up your workspace.  Dedicating some time to cleaning before working brings many benefits.  Psychologically, it gets your mind warmed up and ready to engage the task of drawing.  There are a lot of similarities between cleaning and working on a canvas; lots of arm motions, methodical approaches to the task, and a particular thoroughness to detail.  It will also warm up your arms ahead of time.

With a clean workspace, you will also be able to work better.  No trudging through stuff to locate your desired sketchbook.  No dust and particulates getting in your nose or your electronics.  And no digging through an amassing pile of clutter to find an empty space to put your beer down.

Which brings me to number two.


2: Put your beer down.

Under no circumstance should you attempt to do artwork under the slightest inebriation.  Unless you happen to be Salvador Dali, your artwork will not look better by beating up your mental capacities.  Think you're an exception to such a rule?  Tell me, do you have an awesome moustache like Dali, too?  Of course not, you'd be lying if you believed you even came close to the unparalleled epic of Salvador Dali's incredible moustache.



Impossible.  Cannot be done.  Your attempts to mimic such incredible facial trichology will only end in blood-soaked tears of regret.  Do you want to wallow away the evening in blood-soaked tears of regret?  Then put the dang beer down on your newly cleaned desktop and see just how much better you do!

Go instead with a moderate (moderate!) cup of coffee or green tea.  Having at least something to nurse while working is a good way to keep focus and comfort.  Abstain from caffeinated sodas and energy drinks, they'll just make you hyper and easily sidetracked.


3: Livestream

Very good chance if you're reading this, you're a digital artist.  When working digitally, it's really difficult to work sometimes just knowing that the big glorious icon is sitting just underneath for Chrome or Opera or Firefox (or Internet Explorer if you're really that behind the times).
Curb the temptation, and willingly put a handful of your Internet pals right over your shoulder to watch your every move.  They're going to be there on their time*, invited by your hand, to see you draw and nothing else.  So don't let them down.  They're your friends, after all.  Don't let down your friends.

*English majors: I saw you squeak in jovial admiration there. Thank you.

Just go to the Livestream website (or JustinTV or whatever), download the broadcaster software, and go for it.  That way, you'll have some people giving you encouragement while you work.  You'll have company so you don't feel like you wasted your evening without the IRL friends you keep convincing yourself you actually have.  And best of all, you'll get swift justice if you lose focus and get sidetracked by that freaky-deaky Internet porn you don't want us to know you enjoy.


4: Use References and Mimic

Let's make it clear; I don't mean tracing. Wouldn't you believe I actually saw an anatomy book that suggested tracing as a valid means of learning?  Pfft, what a jerk.

By using references and mimicing the styles of others, I mean finding a way to give your unique artwork a direction based upon what you see elsewhere.  We all envision ourselves as the perfect artist who doesn't need no stinkin' anatomy books or photographs to draw the whimsical worlds in our heads.  But that's just silly.  Even the top tier artists use references and aspire to the greatness of our artistic predecessors.  It's what makes them so good.  They don't guess how grass would act in an environment; they grab photos of it and line them up to soak in and research its behavior.  The way light shines off of bricks, stucco, marble, iron, steel, and other materials?  Never guess, always have something handy to see just how it looks.


5: Delete Black and White From Your Color Swatches

Quick challenge.  Draw a picture, but when you get to shading it, use only the primary colors.  Try it.  Use only red, blue, and yellow.  See how the colors all blend together, create this nice harmony among one another, and look more vibrant when they collide together?  Abstaining from using black and white while shading will guarantee a much more lively color palette right off the bat, and if you get really good at working with those colors, you'll really stand apart from the others.


6: Take Breaks and Manage Your Time

Take breaks.  Frequently.  Every couple hours, give yourself a twenty minute break, preferably away from the computer screen and television.  You need to rest those eyes, let them recover.  Something like doing another chore such as folding laundry can keep those muscles warmed up but clear the head nicely.  Make yourself a sandwich.  Clean your desk space if you haven't yet.  Grab your mp3 player and take a walk around the block.

Try not to be one of those "I painted for sixteen hours straight" kinds of guys.  The amount of time you spend on an image isn't nearly as impressive as the actual look of the image in the end. The only people who care how long you spent on an image are directors and producers, and to them, bragging about a single background taking you seventy-plus hours is anything but something worth bragging about.

Just get it done, and don't kill yourself in the process.  If you aren't getting a lot of enjoyment out of your work, you're probably not managing your time right, or worse, not going to pursue art much further.


7: Do Something Else From Time To Time

Make music.  Write literature.  Read a book.  Hike.  Never forget to take an afternoon for yourself and follow other endeavors.  Art can be quite overwhelming at times, but by not making it the sole aspect of your life, it won't be able to overwhelm you.  Taking on an extracurricular activity can be fun, and leave you refreshed and eager to jump back into that artistic project you were on.  Well...granted that extracurricular activity isn't trying to match Salvador Dali's moustache.



Blood-soaked tears, dude.  That's as far as you'll get.
