Anyway, a few updates:

# It's gonna take a while for me to get my new camera, due to mom's belief that I must "work for it". She's told ALL of my relatives not to help me. I believe that her belief is ridiculous, seeing as I don't have a job. >_O Maybe I should get one... >_>

# Lena, if you're reading this, why are you reading this? ahahaha

# My current model cannot pose for my nude shot due to the fact that she's not 18 yet. Just one more year! Gah.

# Does anyone know how to work Corel Painter that's willing to help me? Because I'm such a novice. It's rather sad...

# I'll be at my father's this weekend, so if I don't respond to your notes/comments/etc, you know why. I'll try my harrrdest to respond. Because oh so many deviants send me messages. Ahahaha.

#

# Does anyone have any reccomendations for a GOOD scanner [i.e. one that won't break down in a day or two]? I really need one.

Okay, I love you, buhbye! :]]

Photo Manipulations are excruciating.
And using Corel Painter is exacerbating things.
I might just stick to photography and drawing [and writing and clothing designing and psychology and law and...].

I think I have a model, ahaha.

I'm gathering stuff for my alice shoot at the moment. Still, I need a proper petticoat and light blue skirt.
But I'll live.
I hope.

Also,
I need a broader audience. Really.
Two watchers. Hmmph.
I mean, yes, I just joined yesterday, but come on...

Bastards.

Au Revoir.

Well, this is my new account, the former being .
From now on, all new art will be posted here.

Other Things:
# As soon as I get my new camera, I will be looking for a model, preferably 18+ in the nyc area, that would be willing to do nude photography.
I'm aware of how odd that sounds, especially for a girl of my age, but it's for a purpose.

# I'm trying hard to disassociate myself from my old dA account username and the fanfiction account that goes with it. I still enjoy writing, but the rubbish I used to pen is just childish.

# I hope to get a subscription soon and sell/buy prints. That'd be awesome.

# As soon as I get a new scanner, I'll post my illustrations. :]] I've been saying that for an eternity now, but mom is being rather difficult.

I'd appreciate any deviation comments, though I prefer critique.

Good day, all.
