An Absurd Interview with SanguineEpitaphWelcome to another edition of Absurd Interviews: Even better than whole grain bread!
Long time we don't see each other huh? Long time you don't hear another of my great poems. Well, here is one. Enjoy!
Roses are red
Violets are blue (well, purple sometimes)

Good day! How are you this fine day good sir?
If it's a good day and I'm a good sir, I do believe I'm good.

But, you know, I could also be fine. :iconteheeyesplz:
Do you sleep with your closet doors open or closed?
:iconbitchpleaseplz: My closets don't have doors. :icondivaplz:
An old lady is crossing the road. A banana helped her get to the other side more quickly, but a random skating kid tripped him and he in turn made an incoming truck of gummy bears tip over. What happens next or what will you do?
Well there are obviously

Facepalm-Worthy Series 2JUNE 2006. 3rd uni year (dunno why it seems I had all my fails in my uni period)
Unfortunately I use to be a person who has SO intense and vivid dreams (and really bad ones). One day this played a dirty trick on me:
I left my cell phone on my bedside table as usual and went to sleep because next day I had an exam at 9:00 a.m.
It seems I was that obsessed and nervous about my exam that I dreamt my best uni friend phoned me at 8:00 a.m. or so to tell me I must not forget that our "Preventive Medicine III" teacher postponed the exam one hour later.
Ok, I just believed that dream.
My alarm clock rang and I totally passed. I slept 45 mins more. Now imagine my face when I went to uni by bus one hour later and saw all my classmates coming out of the classroom rather than entering it :iconaloneplz:
Just then I understood all.
:iconfacepalmplz::iconfacepalmplz::iconfacepalmplz::iconfacepalmplz::iconfacepalmplz::iconfacepalmplz:
I just wanted to leave this world.

Critiques: The artist's worst nightmare....Or so it is often thought.  But it should never be.
(Please note, I'm not necessarily talking about deviantart's critique system, though this certainly applies to it.  I'm talking about all feedback, whether in comments or notes, in person, or on another site.  Deviantart simply has a good format for others to leave feedback to an artist.)
In art school, you tend two get two different types of young artists: people who are infatuated with their work, and people who have no confidence in it at all.  But really, it all boils down to the same thing: as artists, we are incredibly reliant on other people's judgement of our work for our self-esteem.  It sounds a bit stupid, but I don't know that I've talked to any serious business artists who say otherwise (though if you do, please tell me).  Artists often view their work as an extension of themselves, or their soul, poured out on paper.  We seek other people's approval, b

IP confusionIt's sad to see people fighting about intellectual property rights when they apparently have no clue what those are, how they work and what is allowed (and not).
Prime example: http://boltstrueno1fanever.deviantart.com/art/Onyx-Forepaw-Feb-2012-Ref-286737985 vs. http://yasuoxingxing.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d4vcima
Obviously the latter is similar to the first.
The question is: is this allowed?
To answer that question, it is important to understand what rules apply and what intellectual property (IP) is.
There are three different kinds of IP that can apply here:
1. Copyright
As the name hints this is the right to make copies of a work. It does not protect ideas, only the actual recorded work - artwork, documents, music etc.
This means that if someone copies your art (by directly copying it, by tracing it or otherwise adapting your work) you can certainly take action, but there is little you can do to prevent someone else creating their own

Interested in Dreamworks? Lighting ResourceSo I attended a talk by Bert Poole - He's currently serving as a CG Supervisor on their new movie "The Croods" scheduled for release in March 2013. His most recent movie, you all know of is How to Train Your Dragon, where he was also a CG Supervisor. If you don't know what that means, that means he worked on lighting C: What I'm putting below is from notes I took during his lecture.
His job is to take the directors vision and make the movie look like it. He's making compositions and helping the story to better read. If you've ever talked to me on DA for three or more posts, you might have heard me blab about my major and what I'd like to do. I'd like to do into Lighting, animation second. I just don't feel my skills are as suited for animation, even though I really enjoy it.
Before they start lighting, they work on color Keys
Color Keys are painted works that are used to indicate:
time of day
mood
Key/Fill ratio
Key/Fill color
Hard/Soft light
Atmosphere
When you're lighting a piece in

Whisper It InsideYou know what I can never get enough of?
Shout It Outs.

"Ah, the world-weariness and pain what can only come from the old soul of a middle school furry." ~ TikTak
These wonderfully color-coordinated windows into the very soul of DeviantArt are guaranteed to warm the cockles of my heart every time one trembles its way onto my screen. Black backgrounds, Comic Sans, and tormented critters pave the way to expressing things you previously thought you could never shout out.
I pour over the deepest, darkest secrets you reveal to the world, like "I'm really skinny but I still call myself fat" and, "I secretly hate people" and, "My mom doesn't know I self-harm, unless she uses the internet" and, "Friends are useless" and, "I feel so ignore by you" and, "I'm mean to my friends" and, "Fuck you" and, "Why do people hate me??" and "I'm not Asian".
They're beautiful salad

American Comics, Manga...AND WAR!This is a major turning point in the history of comics, World War II. This period of time not only changed comics as we knew them, but also other areas in graphics such as propaganda posters. Now mid to late 1930's we've seen the birth of the modern comic book. Due to the war as well we're also now seeing the birth of war comics. An obvious example of this as I'm sure many of you have already guessed is Captain America Comics in 1941 (before American involvement in the war). Captain America was created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby who worked for Timely Comics, which of course has now become Marvel Comics. He gained amazing popularity and is often fighting the Axis powers in World War II.
Around this time in Japan has been rebuilding itself, its political and economic infrastructure was changing. Whilst American occupation disallowed art or published material that glorified war or the Japanese military. This policy though didn't block th

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhive been thinking a lot about all kinds of things lately
like
what im gonna do about "settling down" when i get older
and i think ive decided that instead of tying myself down permanently with someone by getting pregnant and carrying their kid(s), im gonna adopt
also i would be a terrible domestic type
i'd much rather travel and live and spread my wings and grow and getting married to someone who wont share the same ideals sounds like such a hassle
i dont know if i want to drag my kiddo through any of that, though
like, i understand how travelling can be really stressful, but i have a tendency to be the type who looks back to the past and smiles about the stupidest things, and i feel like roadtrips and vacations are huge things that are fantastic and will always stick around with me forever
i want them to like travelling, too, and i want them to look back and think "that was so much fun, i want to go there again"
i just???
i want the best for them, and i want them to realize that life

Another Nue Anime?Ok, this time I will introduce an official rating system on the Anime I watch for you guys to take a look at. From suckish to epic, it will go as follows.
1: RUN AWAY WHILE YOU STILL CAN!
2: eh ... it's ok ...
3: Watch it if you ever get bored, but for no other reason.
4: It's good, but not very memorable.
5: Watch it when you get a chance, it's pretty good.
6: DROP EVERYTHING YOU ARE DOING AND START WATCHING NAO! GO!
Well, I got to watching Carnival Phantasm. Yeah, it's a huge spoof of Fate/Zero and Fate/Stay Night, but it is done very well. Very funny when it comes to the basic jokes, some sweet moments here and there, and it has some badassery twisted into that fun, but I'm afraid if you don't at least read about the characters you see in it before hand if not watch the animes or read the mangas, that it may lose a little something to the viewer because you really have to know the people to understand a few of the jokes.
All together, I am on episode nine, and it has not yet disappo

Missing a good friendToday was a okay day until i saw a journal entry from a long time friend which saddened me. This is me speaking my mind about this very special Firend and Memeber of my DA family.
Since my earliest days on DA I had some very close friends on DA one of them is :iconladycharizard: Now im wondering if the journal entry i saw today will be the last i ever see of her. If so this day will go down in the history of my days of DA as the most saddest for LadyCharizard and i had been good friends for years. Even though last year was hard and i rather not go into details with those events for they are personal. All i can say is despite thsoe events She has been a important friend over the years. She allowed me to use her OC Pokemon ranger Alexa in my story and had showed interest for the years but did not care for the theme but i will respect her opinion about that. For months i plotted my current novel with out Alexa but now i may decide to give her a role in this one. But not only She provided

KyotoToday was certainly ... eventful.
So my sister and i were at home
my mom and dad were out (i later learned they went to Costco)
and i got a call from my mom
she told us to get ready to go out and meet a dog.
i assumed the dog would be for my uncle (because we've been planning to get him one for a few weeks now because of reasons and his birthday is next week)
so i went along with it, no big deal.
but then.
we brought along our dog, Darling.
this confused me because there was no reason to do so, since the dog would not be living with us, correct?
well, GUESS WHO WAS WRONG.
me.
turned out my mom meant a dog for US.
another dog to live in our home.
me and my sister were in deeeeep confusion.
there was no reason for us to get another dog, but somehow, another dog ended up in our car and came home with us.
talk about an impulse purchase...
MEET KYOTO!!

Almost one year of Taboo!!!1!!!1!11!!!1!!1!oneAlright, so I just went around updating the description of all the Taboo chapters with a little introductional blurb:
Taboo is my Pokémon fanfiction, begun in the spring of 2011. It tells the tale of three people on a journey in a world where Pokémon battling has been outlawed, almost 40 years since the events of the games.
Taboo is beta-read by my awesome friend ~My-Oblivion-Key, and has it's own fanclub (#Taboo-FC), which was founded by my other amazing friend ~Purple-Rage. Go join it. xD
I hope you enjoy this chapter! <3
I think it's a nice little summary of what's been going on with Taboo, and had some promotional info about my friends and Taboo's fanclub. And speaking of what's been going on, Taboo is almost a year old!

If I keep going like this, with about six chapters each year, Taboo'll be finished in three years lol. xD; Probably not, though, since there was a HUGE gap between the first and second chapters due to planning. But that's really somethin

Here goes submenu - Link.

Seriously, I hate this! When I phone friends to diner or go out to some bar, they never say a "no", but when you want to meet them to run or practice any sport, then things mysteriously change a lil bit and it's when they show their true loyalty

Lately I feel like going out to run and move my ass, I can't wait till next December 31th!!!

WHY?: I must be physically prepared for Saint Sylvester marathon again!!!

Saint Sylvester marathon takes place on December 31th at 17:00 am. It's a 7 kilometers marathon for the lulz... at least in my city there is only one rule: NEVER TAKE THIS EVENT SERIOUS... NEVER! The tardest, the best!

Only few people (the ones who win the marathon btw) take this event serious and don't disguise. More than 5000 people participated in my city. I must say I'm a BIG fan of this event. Can't wait seriously! I must think about how I'm gonna disguise this year.

Lemme show you what this shit is about and how tard people are in my country, lmao:

This guy below is my bf ~SirOpacho with his hair all messed up and me on the right beating his shit.

(btw, death at this guy!!!)
