Opinions are a Dangerous thing: Art StylesThis isn't about narking on anyone no, infact this is just my own muses really! You could say this is a journal for ENCOURAGEMENT! *SHINES*Opinions are a Dangerous thing: Art Styles1 week ago in Personal More Like This
I find sticking to one style restrictive if you are a beginning/moderate artist! (even professionals I might say! though I can't speak for everyone)
Having a distinctive look on how your art is done and produced is understandable and its a desire to appear unique to the point some one can just SEE your work and instantly think 'Oh! that's Ten-days!' or something along the line. However, when you are trying to find who you are and what kind of art you are to produce, I recommend trying, well, a lot of different things! Different styles, mixing styles, different colouring techinque, brushes, tools, shading. Don't feel dependant on what you are already doing and don't feel pressured by people just for trying new things!
Push out of your comfort zone. Can't draw hands? don't avoid it! draw the heck out of them! (how else are you going to learn?)

When I came on dA, I never wanted to be popular/known.
All I wanted/want is to improve my skill, anatomy, etc.
Which has taken place so far.
I mean, look at my first drawing since I came to dA.
Look at all the anatomy I needed practice on.
Look at me now.
I've come a long way.
I still need work, but I improved a lot.
As I said, I mainly came on here to improve,
to be inspired by other artists,
but I realized that being too inspired can be a bad thing.
Yes, I used to be a theif.
Style and design theif.
But look at me now. I have grown, I matured. I saw the wrong of my ways and changed.
Is redlines and critiques/tips too much to ask?
I am 13 years old.
I will improve.
I am still young.
You can't expect me to wave a magic wand have perfect anatomy and shading.
I've bonded to Fuchsia, I don't see her changing much.
However my style changes in every picture? Yeah, because maybe I'm experimenting with styles?
Hate is the last thing I need right now.

Okay, :iconshibutts: is FTM, Female to male transgendered, she is biologically female, but her self identification is male.
No, this doesn't mean I'm ''Lesbian dating a boy'', she is still biologically female, which is what I am attracted to, romantically, sexually and emotionally, it wouldnt be the same if it was MTF [Male to female] because the male anatomy and parts and whatnot v.s my sexual attraction [lesbian],
No, Caspar [Shibutts] doesn't want to get a penis, so it doesn't change anything, she's a transgender female.
Now, I would appreciate it if you guys called her a he, it makes her more comfortable and more self-belonging. Now why am I using female pronouns with her? Because of how long I've known her, and my sexuality, using male pronouns to the one I have sexual, romantic and emotional feelings for makes me uncomfortable because well thats pretty self explanatory.

Regarding art theft :3I had typed most of this up on my latest submission, but then I realised it would be best to just stick it in a journal. XDRegarding art theft :35 months ago in Personal More Like This
Lately I've been noticing a lot of people have been putting the effort into taking my pics and coloring over them.
I've added noise over the pics for a long time to prevent that, but lately people do it anyways.
And I /know/ it must take forever to erase, because it covers the whole picture.
And then they still give me credit, but it's like, klfsjd why would I add noise over the pic if I was just gunna let you recolor it anyways? ;w;
So, just be warned, I will report you if I see it, I don't find that stuff okay. :U
The only pictures that it's okay is my early 2009 Warriors pictures. That's it.
And if credit isn't properly given I'll still report it.
(By properly, I mean a link to my DA, not just "Lines by Blue," or "Credit to BlueKyoKitty")
Also, making "lineart" out of my stuff is never okay, even for the stuff I said could be colored over.
Credit given or not,

Anyways, so my dad just put restrictions on the computer. My little brother and I are furious.
What this means is I will only get about 2 hours on the computer per day. I don't know about weekends.
So as effects, the Firestar AMV might take a while longer, and the Chibi's for my locker and next red line batch will take a while as well.
I can go back to regular computer use... When I get my own computer.
I still need about $500 minimum to get it, so if you guys would consider commissioning me through paypal, I would really really really love you ;w;

Regarding shirt commissionsOkayRegarding shirt commissions5 months ago in Personal More Like This
So you guys
When you buy a shirt, you don't need to pay the shipping, because me and my dad were talking it out. The actual shirt costs $10 to make, and the $5 is shipping, it's its just $15 right there. X3 if you HAVE to have it by like tommorrow (overnight shipping but I doubt it) it will cost $25.
There's a special way to care for the shirt (washing instructions) but I can send you washing instructions in the box. If you are allergic to cats or dogs, please let me know for I have three cats, a dog, and a ferret.
There will be a signature on the shirt for copyright reasons. I'm afraid of plagiarism and people claiming them once they receive it.
This weekend, my dad is going to make me my own Paypal and get me a P.O. Box for safety reasons. If you are interested in buying a shirt, for now we can talk it out. Do not pay me until I say to do so. Give me at least 3 business days if not a week depending on how many commissions I get as well as school conflict.
I supply the art if you
How to catch a Feebas (using MATH)Okay, it was mentioned that now I should explain the Feebas-catching tips my Dad gave me. The ones using...STATISTICS. *bum bum bum*How to catch a Feebas (using MATH)9 months ago in Personal More Like This
Now, the places to catch a Feebas are - well, they tell you on Bulbapedia. Basically you have a big chunk of water.
But what's this? You can only catch a Feebas in SIX of those tiles, in that huge pool of water! (four if you're fishing in Mt. Coronet.) So how on earth will you be able to find it?!
Easy. Math.
Let's go with Mt. Coronet, since that's where I caught mine, but the principle works in the gen 3 games too. Now, only four of those tiles will house a Feebas, right?
Then you divide the pond by four. Pick an area that is 1/4 of the tiles of the whole pond, and only search for the Feebas THERE, rather than searching randomly over the whole pond. Odds are very, very high that one of the four tiles will be in one of the four pieces of the pond.
After that, just fish around a bunch, fishing at least six times on each space to check it, until a Feebas ap

. . . I lost my inspiration to animate, and (basically), draw cats or anything in fact. I pick up my tablet pen, and the drive just isn't there. I sit and think "I've been drawing cats since forever", and it's been getting pretty plain, plus my love for the Warriors series has gone down drastically if you can imagine. ;w;
Like, I want to draw OTHER things, but I don't really have anything in that spot Warriors and Poke'mon (long time ago) left behind. I'm . . . well, in a huge rut. ;w;

Coming to terms with myselfThis is a ramble journal so it's not really important. Nothing anyone has to read though it's nice to just talk to a more public ground.Coming to terms with myself2 days ago in Personal More Like This
For the past few months I've been facing mad lack of selfworth, and people telling me I'm great and wonderful doesn't help at all. since I honestly don't feel that way. Sure I suppose I can mean things to people, but I mean nothing to my own self and that's the most damaging part. I fell into on and off depression and I hate what I look like and I don't even feel like I'm worth being with another person. I have a lack of interest in having sex and I'm not interested in being with women.
And that is OKAY. I'm just coming to terms that it's OKAY to not be interested in women, it's OKAY to not want to have a relationship based on sex. and its OKAY to not even feel ready for a relationship. I don't want to dwell on 'who would love me in this body' rather, I'm happy being independant and focusing on myself and my goals than having to care for another perso

First, I haven't offocially read The Last Hope yet, but I know that *SPOILERS* Brambleclaw makes Squirrelflight deputy.Now, I have nothing against Squirrelflight, I think she is very loyal, but I havn't seen anything to make her an outstanding warrior or display exceptional leadership skills. To my understanding, Brambleclaw's choice in making her deputy was puerly to show that he trusted her again and that they were going to be mates again.
No.
He could have simply said that to her instead of making his first bad choice as a leader. Dustpelt would have made an outstanding deputy. Or hey, maybe Thornclaw? OR maybe he could have given the deputy position back to the cat he stole it from, Graystripe. OR! IDEA! MAYBE LIONBLAZE!!! Lionblaze would have made a kick ass leader, don't you ev

Just...
So much feels for this.
'kay so like, I keep posting shit about Inuyasha now, but it's not a new thing for me to be all obsessed. XD
As I've said many time, I started watching it about 10 years ago and just got so hooked.
And addicted.
And it rulled my life for years. @w@
Just over the past few years it died down.
And then around November-december I became all just... Super depressed and lonely feeling.
Then I started watching Inuyasha again after at least a year of not seeing an episode, and more like 3 years since really watching it and being way into it.
And it just made me feel better. ;w;
So now my Inuyasha obsession is being put al over DA for you guys to see! 8D

That's how scary into it I used to be. 8C

But Ill sketch the commission out on paper and show it to you so you know generally how it will look when I scan it to the computer and make it pretty.
All of these commissions will be small chibi things, but it's possible to get detailed things. TW: They will be a might pricey! HUR GO!:

An idea I wanna know if you guys are interested inSo I've had an idea to start offering things for raffles.An idea I wanna know if you guys are interested in10 months ago in Personal More Like This
So like, I'd have raffles for different things.
Like a raffle for a custom plushie.
Or a raffle for an animated video.
And other things like that.
And each "ticket" would be $1 -$2.
(I'd also probably put a limit on how many you can get, maybe only up to 3)
So you would have to put the money out for each ticket, and may not get anything.
But if you do win, you would have only ended up paying about $2 for something that would have been between $40-$50+
Anyone think that sounds like a good idea, and if so, would you possibly be interested in it?
I kinda think it's a good idea, but then I think if I did offer something like that that I might just end up losing money. owo
But I could always just see how it goes I guess? XD
Internet Famous Animator/Artist RantHeeereee weeee goooooooooooInternet Famous Animator/Artist Rant2 months ago in Personal More Like This
(Note: Im generally talking about those within the Warriors fandom, since that's the fandom I have the most personal experience with, but that said you could probably apply some of this stuff to popular artists/animators in other fandoms.)
Ok so lately (though this has been going on for like 9 million years) I see a lot of things like
"Oh yeah most famous artists/animators are so arrogant"
"Yeah as soon as they get famous, like 90% of animators are just rude and act superior to their fans."
"All they care about anymore is fame and they think they're so much better.." Etc etc...
..Am I the only one that hasn't really noticed this???
I mean I've definitely seen some arrogant or rude people before with at least decent amount of internet fame, but I would not amount it to 90% or anywhere close to that. Maybe half? Probably quite a bit less than half.
But I can't seem to figure out why popular artists are generally viewed this way.
