It’s about time I caught up with DA. I haven’t been ignoring it. I just haven’t felt brave enough to log on when I’ve had nothing to show for so long. I found and finished a lot of old projects over the summer though, so I hope you enjoy those whilst I try to catch up on everyone else’s deviations. I've got 380+ deviations and 120 messages, but I'll do my best to look at and comment on as much as I can. I love you guys!

Also, I’m going to try to babble on less. Please remind me if I forget.

Here's what I have to show for myself:
.hack//present [link] for :devthedothackmaster8:
Sailor Venus [link] (Moon is in the coloring phase)
KH - Klepto Club [link]
KH - Safety Bubble - Page 3 [link]
Scraps 13 [link]

For those of you who aren't KH fans/are sick of KH, rejoice! I'm done with all my Kingdom Hearts pictures and don't expect to be doing any new ones any time soon.

I just thought I'd let everyone know I'm not dead yet. (I don't want to go on the cart! I think I'll go for a walk.) I haven't been drawing much or even visiting DA very often, so just know I'm not ignoring you or your fabulous art. I'll get around to looking at everything... eventually. XD I have a bunch of doodles from my notes in class (I've been studying so hard lol) that I should have scanned in some time "soon."
Until next time, happy drawing and have a nice life.

It's an exciting title, I know.


Dear ~deathxsurvey,

I don't really know how to tell you this, but I'm in love with your sister. I think I realized it when I saw the shrunken head outside of Chicago and I saw you hit on my avocado plant. I'm sure you're ashamed enough to understand that there is no solution to this. I'm returning your old lottery coupons to you, but I'll keep your left ear as a memory. You should also know that I get sick when I think of Oprah Winfrey imitations.

Good luck on your short-term leave from jail,
~SuperSpazzyStar

[link] I shalln't tag anyone, but you guys should do it. 'Tis quite amusing.


Sorry I haven't been posting much, but I'm sure you all understand. I'm doing well with school right now and I want to keep it that way. I'm currently only 2 chapters behind in my readings for history and economics. I do have some fun doodles to post to my scraps from my economics class though, so those should be up tonight/tomorrow/soon/whenever I get around to it. You guys have been failing to bug me on a regular basis, so that's my excuse for being so lazy artwise. I need more encouragement!

Also, my to do list is pretty much a joke to myself at this point, so I'll spare everyone the sight of it. I don't know who I'm kidding with it.


My peoples:

So much for my grand plans of all the art I was going to do over the summer. Still, I may not get around to any finished pieces soon, but expect a lot more sketches from me soon. (bug me about it!) I've only been in my dorm since Monday night and had 3 classes and I already have two sketches. Am I learning yet?

Also, a special thanks to *Istra for reminding me about good old Shiro, Suki and Suri by drawing this for me: [link] After having not drawn them for so long, I think I might have them make a come back (with more mini comics perhaps?). ~rusty-wings may have to help me with that since the twins technically started off as her characters. I kinda stole them and made them better though, so they're mine!


Umm, and without further ado, the to-do list that I'll probably not finish all of until next year, but wish to use to remember that there is still stuff I should be working on.

1. School doodle dump 5%
2. Klepto Club 84% Sketch [link] / Inked [link] / Flat Colors [link] Background and most of Olette and Pence are finished.
3. color “summer reading” 0%
4. Sailor Venus 45% lines need cleaning before color
5. Realism practice 0% Lately I’ve really felt like giving realism another shot. Any victims, I mean volunteers? ^__^’
6. Something for my nonna 0% Whenever my grandma hears that I’m drawing she wants me to draw something for her. Suggestions on what to draw would be greatly appreciated, because I’m clueless!
7. Art Timeline/Progression 0% This kinda requires me to have stuff to compare... back to the drawing board! Pun not intended... that time.
8. New DA ID 0% I'm bored with the old one, plus I got my hair cut.


As per usual, all percentages, excepting 0s and 100s, have been fabricated by yours truly. They’ve actually been priotized this time though. Let’s get moving, Lauren! You’ve got a lot to do


My peoples:

Sorry I haven’t been online much for those of you who care! I think I’m having internet aversions or something. I was only on for 2-3 hours today and it felt like previous summers when I’d spend the entire day online. I’m going to make a conscious effort to get on more often though and to draw more.
Rawr! I want to, but I still don’t know how to manage my time. Euro 2008 is over, so there’ll be no more (real/non-American-typed) football to watch, but I started playing KH1 again, want to finish reading PotO and have been trying to teach myself to play a bunch of Coldplay songs from a book that I stole from my best friend (one of three, ‘cause I’m that lucky). That not even mentioning my sleep problems. I had a dream that I was adopted by Asian people (no, I haven’t been watching anime!). At least that’s better than my dream during the school year where I was entrusted with the care of a sacred hamster that had a magical tree. It was a real tree, but small enough to fit in his box and it looked like the Keebler elf tree. When Brad Pitt came to advise me on how to best care for the hamster I discovered that he was a gay canibal. O_o Yeah, I have serious sleep problems.

Anyway, without further ado, my DA to do list which I fully intend to start attacking right away!

1. Draw piano for Istra’s sis 100% [link] Technically it's done, but maybe I should keep playing with the colors...
2. Grad present/card for K-kun 100% I has very little $, plus I think it’d be nice. What to draw though...
3. Realism practice 0% Lately I’ve really felt like giving realism another shot. Any victims, I mean volunteers? ^__^’
4. Sailor Venus 45% inked
5. Klepto Club 77% Sketch [link] / Inked [link] / Flat Colors [link] Meh, I just don’t feel like it.
6. Something for my nonna 0% Whenever my grandma hears that I’m drawing she wants me to draw something for her. Suggestions on what to draw would be greatly appreciated, because I’m clueless!
7. Art Timeline/Progression 0% This kinda requires me to have stuff to compare... back to the drawing board! Pun not intended... that time.

EDIT [7-23-08]
Also, I'm too lazy to make a new journal, especially since I don't have anything new to say, so here it is:

Leave a comment and I will:

A) tell you why I befriended you.
B) associate you with something - fandom, a song, a color, a photo, etc...
C) tell you something I like about you.
D) tell you a memory I have of you.
E) ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
F) tell you my favorite picture of yours.
G) in return, you must post this in your journal.
