Cool, I got a CSS!

*Contains Christian information, if you don't like it, go away.

Life would be way easier if I did so. My last year was living heck because I didn't properly manage school, DA, art and Church. I'm trying to do better this year with August coming faster than I thought it would.

I'm working as fast as I can on the requests without butchering them. I'M DOING QUALITY WORK FOR YOU GUYS, PLEASE BE PATIENT. I'm just trying to make you happy with your requests is all. Bear with me, okay? I'm going to upload the sketches that I have so far, but that doesn't mean that I'm done. Okay? Okay.

Church Related Events
-The Kansas City Crusade for Christ was a great time. I never knew about it until this last year. In 2010, it will be at Washington D.C., and the speaker for span of the Crusade said he'd write a letter to Obama to get him to visit. Who knows what'll happen? :]

-Our Young Warriors presentation was a success too. I had to read our motivating scripture. (I Timothy 4: 12… I think. XD) You should read it too some time.

-My sister has gotten permission to coordinate an art exhibition and poetry slam at our church, which I'm really looking forward to. ^^ Problem is, since I'm her sister, I'm going to wind up helping with the advertising and spreading the word. X'D I also plan on having an exhibit though… God willing. Sadly, I'm a girl of many talents, and I have to decide on which medium I want to display without doing too much. (The mediums are Visual Art, Beadery and Poetry. I can do all three, believe it or not.)

-A youth lock-in is supposed to be held the same day as the art gallery/poetry slam. Why, you ask? It's because the people in my age group are very easily bored. =.= It irritates me a little. I do like the way my sister coordinated this though. Our last lock in was very underwhelming, after all. Go Cierra!

-There's another trip to Omaha coming up soon- a trip to the Zoo. We get a group-discounted price of $30 per person. I'd really like to go to Omaha again too. J

Manga and Fan Concept Information
We all know that I am the type of person that has millions of ideas that run through her head, but doesn't carry them out well or not at all. I guess that aspect of me would make me a pretty good concept artist. Anyway, in the last 3 months alone, I've got at least 5 fan concepts... maybe more than that. Most of the time, I have ideas just from doing rough or non-essential drawings.

-"The Ultimate FC Collaboration": (This is a prototype title. The official name is pending.) I'm kind of hogging !MsShadowette's character, "Momo" on this one because of 1.) the strange physical resemblance between our characters and 2.) Momo has a significant role in the story. I guess it's safe to say that she's the main character. It kind of plays out like Sonic Adventure 2 battle where people mistake Shadow for Sonic even though we think that they don't look THAT much alike. XD So, that's what I truly plan on working on first, simply because I need to test my comic making skills on this concept before going out on a limb for my official, original concepts. Me and Jazz have discussed the idea a little, but it has yet to take shape. I'm not exactly promising anything either. If this does take off, I'm sharing credit with all the other creators of the characters being involved.

-"Kingdom Hearts: Diminuendo": I rambled about it a little bit in my "Presto al Fine" picture. I stayed up for 7 hours coming up with the idea. This is why I'm so tired right now. XD It all started out with a gift picture I was drawing for a -now graduated- Senior at my high school. (Who acts and sounds remarkably like my older sister, Cierra... O_o; )
She wanted a poster pic of some random girl who could control fire and ice. I drew it, but I hated it... so I tried again. I decided to give her a Square Enix style getup because PEOPLE, YOU HAVE NO CLUE HOW OBSESSED THIS CHICK IS WITH KINGDOM HEARTS... well, next to "Wicked". XDD Then, I started drawing a random guy who is now Presto. Diminuendo revolves around Presto, to get a grasp on how dearly he loves making music. It doesn't involve Sora, Riku, Kairi, Donald or Goofy at all (I'm kind of sick of them, lol.) This concept goes deeper into the intricacy of the Heart and the Soul and goes slightly into the background of Xehanort's obsession. Great, as if Kingdom hearts couldn't be more confusing. XD This is the kind of concept I would love to animate. Again, I'm not promising that I will actually carry through. Don't get your hopes up too high.

-"The Lion, The Storm, and The Fire": I'm still working on it, don't worry... it's just taking really long because again, I'm trying to straighten things out request wise and what not. This story isn't really super important... It's just a vent for my fangirlism towards Squall. XD I am actually testing my plot making skills with this story and work on my pacing. I am also trying hard not to make Kaji a Mary Sue. I'll try and at least complete Chapter 2, but after that, no promises of continuing.

-"Muse": This concept is one where I actually need loads of help. This concept is important to me, because I want to debut with this Manga. I want the concept together before I do serious work on it. The story is about Oekaki, a daydreamer and concept artist. He likes to draw pictures that have a story behind them. He especially likes to draw his character Risa and develop her into a very realistic, down to earth character. In fact, he tries so hard one day that he gets frustrated with artist's block, school work, and family problems. Risa comes to life and tells him not to give up on her when he's come this far. The phenomenon scares the crap out of him, and leads him to question his own sanity. After that, I've got nothing. I want to incorporate the use of art tools (pencils, pens, and what not) into the story. If you can, note me on some help with the concept. The subject should be "Muse". I'm not working on drawing it, I just want the concept in mind so I can work on it more in the future, God willing.

-"Elemental Infantry": The concept is fresh and clear in my head, but the matter is execution. I have a storyboard for chapter one, but that's it. I need 4 more chapters for a whole first volume, and again, I'm not ready to begin serious work on this one yet. I want this to be a fan favorite like Dragon Ball and Naruto. Sorry I got your hopes up, but this is the way it's got to be.

-"The Guardian Angel Project": This will be a Shoujo Manga. This will likely be a 15 to 20-volume manga too, as I don't want to draw it out too long with the plot being the way it is.
