Still here.. kind of....

Journal Entry: Tue Oct 29, 2013, 3:46 AM
Gallery | Blog | Twitter


Eeep May 19th... I fail at updating this and have to admit I have been putting it on the back burner. I have a bunch of photos to add and slowly putting my icons into batches to add as well. I had a very busy summer with resitting a uni class and working at the uni part time. I'm now in my third year, first year of honours, and while there have been quite a few hiccups I'm getting on ok.

There will be updates here and there, so keep an eye out but things will be slow.

I also want to point you all to apparate who very kindly made me my gorgeous jaded lion avatar :D Please go check out her work as she has some gorgeous free avatars you can use as well as taking requests from time to time.

I wish you all the best with uni and finding the time to add the new photos/sort out icons. Sometimes you just have to do things in your own time and focus on what is important. :hug:

I am really glad you like the avatar. :love:

Updates? :oYep, I've finally had time to get off my behind and start uploading a years worth of photos. Doing it slowly as I currently have the flu (again) so my attention span is tiny.
I've officially finished my English literature degree and will be starting a Masters in Information and Library studies in September. Before that I'm off to Prague so lots of photo ops there!
I keep a blog semi-updated over at http://blog.ruby-wings.net so if you want to know more about me and what I've been up to head over and have a see nosey :)
Up to date just in time :)The last few days I've been desperately adding the rest of the photos from Budapest last August and my visit to Kew Gardens in April. I go on holiday tomorrow which means more photos so I wanted to get everything else posted up before I go. I'm heading to Majorca, specifically Alcudia which has a very nice old town :D
I'm now officially finished with Uni for year two which is a big relief. My exams were close together again and at the beginning of the exam period, so it was over pretty early for me. I've no idea how I've done in the exams; no fails that's for sure but to get into Honours for year 3 & 4 I need a specific grade in English Literature. So please cross your fingers for me :)
I also had some amazing news - I GOT ACCEPTED TO STUDY CREATIVE WRITING NEXT YEAR!
This is the first time I've had to provide a writing portfolio and that anyone academic has responded to my creative writing. So very happy and feeling a lot more confident!
March already? Eeep!As always my road was paved with good intentions and instead I have really slacked. In all fairness though I have been quite ill. I'm only just starting to feel back to normal (as 'well' as my normal is) so I haven't been able to get out to take many photos. I've mainly been doing University work and website work. I still have a bunch of photos from Budapest to upload and some old and new web designs, then there's also my icons which I want to add at some point. Lots to do! Thankfully I have a week and a half left of Uni and then it's Easter and exams. As long as I don't have any resits this year I should have a free summer.
Plenty of photo opportunities are coming my way again, starting at the end of this month and continuing through the summer. I'm visiting family and friends in London and I am determined to use the annual pass I won for Kew Gardens before it expires. I then have two holidays during the summer and a wedding, plus whatever else we fit in. I want to get some more textu
Hello 20132013 brings a few new things for me. Namely I treated myself to a premium membership and I also have a graphics tablet. I am, however, too ill to actually make use of the damn thing right now :( Long time cough, sore throat, trouble breathing... not good. I've not been at Uni but have been able to keep up to date with my work. Being stuck at home is good for something.
It's also let me spend some time playing with premium features such as journal skins and tidying up my profile.

If you would like to get your work or group featured all you need to do send me a note or leave me a comment :)
Sharing Wishes, Secret Santa, Gift Exchange Site!Thanks to a wee note saying that RTHBN had added my holiday wish list to a folder of wish lists in their favours, I was brought into the wonderful circle of knowledge regarding a Secret Santa project taking place here on DA. It is open to anyone and you can find all the details over here.
I am also joining in the Elf Wish List Project (submit your wish list to them) and putting wish lists in a folder at the top of my favourites folder. So if you have a holiday wish list/journal entry feel free to leave me a comment with it and I'll add it :)
As you have guessed; I bloody love secret santas. I even ran a few in my previous World of Warcraft guild :P The one thing that I don't like about Secret Santa is that it's only once a year and at such a busy period at that. So I gave in to an idea and came up with thi
Holiday Wishlist 2012 [Updated 15th Dec]So I am taking part in a couple of online holiday wishes/wish list communites, one is over at livejournal called Holiday Wishes. It's a community where you post 10 wishes and try to fulfil other people's wishes as well. So here is my wish list :)
The other is the same as holiday wishes but based here on DA (clickie to go to the original post!) and here are the details!
Step 1.
Make a post in your dA journal (the manual INCLUDED - I wont grant any wishes, if I see no manual). The post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related ("I'd love a Snape/Hermione icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _____ on DVD") to really big ("All I want for Christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV.") The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly wan
Thank you for the faves!As I'm adding so many photos at once from all the various trips/photo ops I've had, saying a personal thank you to everyone who favorites one of my photos is going to take insanely long. I feel bad for not saying thank you so please consider this it. It is great to have any of my work added as a favorite and it inspires me to keep taking more photos. So thank you <3
Free time is greatI've been AWOL for two months, eep! The past two months have just been insane though; holiday to spain, health problems, fiance's hospital visits, exams, best friend getting married... I finally had my last exam 3 days ago so I am working on adding a massive load of photos that have been stacked up.
Here's the list of what to expect!
1) Crystals - I took these months and months ago but haven't had a chance to upload them.
2) Holiday in south of Spain - We visited Benalmadena and at one stage walked to Fuengirola - never again but it was a great photo opportunity!
3) Wedding / Road Trip - My best friend haleywatson got married at the end of July! So cjbankier and I took a road trip from Glasgow to London. We actually ended up crossing 4 country borders in the whole trip. From Glasgow we went to Blackpool, then to South Wales to a lovely village called Machynlleth where we stayed the night. It was a gorgeous place which we hope to visit again in the future as we didn't have muc
SQEEEEEEEEEEE!I am literally just back from my holiday in Costa del Sol, Spain, so lots of new photos to come! First up will be the beautiful swans with their cygnets which I didn't get to finish before I went away.
The whole point of this entry though is to go SQEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! You might notice there's been a name change, that is thanks to the lovely and amazing MagicalCherry who offered a months premium membership in a competition. I was incredibly lucky to be selected!
Once I've woken up a bit more I will have an explore and see what I can do with this awesome gift :)

deviantART on our Lucky 13As you get older, you may begin to see birthdays as a distinctive point in time. A time for reflection on past successes, past roadblocks, past lessons. I also see it as an opportunity to look forward, set goals, aim ridiculously high. I'm sure everyone's heard people joke about disliking getting older and lamenting another year passing, but not me. Not yet, at least. The wisdom and hard lessons I've had to learn over the years helps me map out my immediate future. I may stumble, sure, but I also have a lifetime of overcoming obstacles and analyzing achievements to guide my decisions. All I can do is keep learning and growing. 
I feel much the same way about deviantART. 
I don't need to tell you that a web property sticking around for 13 years is a rare thing, and it's not an accomplishment we take lightly. We owe our continued existence to all of you, and the passion and inspiration that emanate so naturally from the community, from the most successful professional to the mo
[FREE RAFFLE] It's that time of year again...!
Thank you all for your support! ; w ;


Is it tradition now that it's the third year in a row? YES, LETS SAY YES! 
THANK YOU, each and every one of you, for all your support in the past year! I've tried to be around as much as possible this year, and I hope it shows. My to-do list is at it's all-time historical low, and my clearance rate has been going up too. But that wouldn't have been possible without all of you guys' patience and support. As always, I wish I had the time to answer every comment I get, but I somehow always find myself low on time to do that AND keep up the arting pace. I do read them all, and each and every one of them makes me so happy that someone took the time out of their day to give me their feedback. More than anything, thank YOU GUYS! I couldn't do this without you. And to show that, it's the yearly free raffle!
More winners will be pulled this year: 3 guaranteed win
My Opinion on DeviantArt EclipseWelp I'm hopping on the band-wagon I suppose, but not in a negative matter of speaking.
    As a beta tester I got a notice that said I could test a new potential site layout. I was mildly interested and decided I would try it out when I had time, which was today. The past couple days I've seen so many status posts and journals threatening to leave because of how much people hate the Eclipse version of deviantArt, but I couldn't personally see what would make an update so bad people didn't want to be here anymore.
    I finally got to test it out today, and I must say it's got a nice modern design and it seems like it's easier to access places like the forums and the watch area. Not only that you get direct notification when you have feedback, and you can check it once and it doesn't press on, and you can look back at it any time. My only concern was that "Oh, I can't see what the people I'm watching are posting!" but that's not the case! That's what

commissionTranslation: by Retro7
it's the first time (in 13 years XD) since I'm in deviantart that I'm doing this because of the number of people who send me suggestions and questions about whether I make commissions. I will try to be as clear as possible but in case of requesting a commission. by private message we can clarify things. 
first I will detail my requirements and requirements to make a drawing: 
- I only draw anime style, do not ask me for portraits of you or of another person (unless you want a drawing of you with that style), neither of ponies (simply why do not I get it right XD) 
- I can do OCs, anime characters, video games, cartoons, humanized ponies, etc ... always with the style I use (however by message I will tell you if I can or can not perform your order) 
- if your order is an oc must be very detailed as is the character: age, personality and their physical features (if they
Announce and Guidance about my new accountsGood day, dears!  ( ^-^)ゝ
An important and maybe positive news I'll bring now.
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
Seeing bad rumors about DeviantArt's next update: Eclipse, my big friends suggested me to make an account on another site named ArtStation as many others doing recently.
And this suggestion of them encouraged me to bring my step one forward.
What I've decided is to create new two official accounts of mine out of DeviantArt.
And the places are: the one- ArtStation ArtStation Icon and the another- Instagram Instagram New Icon

Donating unused baby designs to the GroupNot feeling connected to a MYO you created? Want to cast off a character you feel is going to sit and collect dust for all eternity?
All you need to do is comment below with the following:
A link to the most current drawing of your Wyngro with all current upgrades, and the first approval image. (add additional links if you want)
List any upgrades your Wyngro has.
Your Wyngro's name and gender.
A small description on what your Wyngro is like.
Please keep in mind that we will take creative liberty in redrawing your Wyngro and adding a small description of their personality to a new submission to be bought for cash/points.
We will work off their original personality and design as much as we can, reworking things and creating new content if they did not have any description previously. Changes will only be made in order to create more interest for adoption. DO NOT get angry if we change things you do not like. The character is
