Yeah, you heard it. I'm seriously needing of incentives to draw (a.k.a. Artblocked), so maybe opening a few art trades will make me want to draw more.

So, i'll be accepting 3 trades for now. But i have to know you, can't be accepting trades from random people, yes?
Trading with:
- ~flipthenoob - DONE -> [link]
- ~sonari - DONE -> [link]
- ~MarkyFx - DONE -> [link]

On other note...i may start selling commissions. After some thinking, i noticed that there's really no "right" time to start selling them. Open the commissions, and sooner or later, someone may want to buy something.

So, yes, i'll be starting to sell commissions very soon. I'll make another journal, with prices and such when i do.

That's it for now, see ya!

BEST.
TRIP.
EVER.

Seriously, those last two weeks... were awesome. I had so much fun…I quite still don’t believe that I went to the US.

The trip, as I said before, was to Orlando, but we arrived at Miami first, then, we took a bus to Orlando. Took about 3-4 hours to get there.
The day after we arrived, we started going to the parks. The first week we went on the Disney ones, Magic Kingdom being the very first. On the second week, we went to Universal Studios, Sea World, Blizzard Beach, Downtown Disney and some malls.
The parks were really awesome; I went in almost every ride/attraction on them, just missing the “uninteresting” ones (according to our tour guides). Not to mention some of the shows some of the parks presented, like the fireworks at the end of the day on Magic Kingdom. Really great.

The only bad things that happened, were that we had to walk a lot, and I mean a LOT. Even now, back at home, my feet still hurts. Since the parks were big, to go to one attraction to another you had to walk quite some distance, and when you got there, you had to wait on the lines for almost one hour (or two sometimes).
Oh, and that happened while in the sun, around 39°C/102°F. And, since we went to the parks since 9-10AM and the sunset was only at around 8PM (the sun sets here at around 6PM)… we used a lot of sun blockers…
Other than that…everything was awesome.

I’d really want to narrate everything that happened, but so many things have happened on these two weeks, that they seem to have been two MONTHS for me.

Oh, and my birthday is near (27th of this month). Since I just arrived from the trip, I probably won’t have a big party, I’ll probably just invite some friends over and we’ll think of something to do/someplace to go.

Well, now to check my… 46 Deviations and 67 Messages…
… that’s what I get for not having internet access while on the trip…oh well…

Finally, after 4 years of trying, me and my family have successfully booked a trip to the USA.

Actually, we already had everything planned since the beginning of the year, but i wanted to be certain we were actually going to travel, so i waited until a few weeks before the trip...well, this time, it's confirmed. We ARE going to travel.

It'll last around two weeks. I'll leave at day 14 and will return around 24-25. We'll be going to Orlando, Florida.
What we're going to do there? Disney, Sea World...yeah, those kinds of places. I'm really excited to go, because i always wanted to travel to the US, since...i don't know, forever.
And, i want to ACTUALLY talk in english, rather than talking in "broken english" with my brother. (ya, we do that at home, no one else understands what we're saying, it's funny, lol)

So, yeah, in about one week and some days, i'll be gone to the USA. I'll try to get access to internet there to check my messages, so i may not dissappear completely.


And, i just remembered something...does any of you people who watch me live around Orlando? Maybe we could meet there or something.
Or, if you don't, we could at least talk by phone.

Well, i actually don't post journals much, because i don't think i have any interesting news, but, i needed an excuse for updating the last journal (from last year 0_o ), so...let's see...

- I've managed to get into a college for Information Systems, which is kinda like computer science. First classes have been really unorganized, some teachers wouldn't come, but everything's fine now. So far, classes have been quite interesting. We're about to start learning basic programming.
Also, since i'll need to use more the computer to do my homeworks in the near future, which will probably be making programs and such, my parents bought me a new computer!

- I have been training doing little animations on paper, like, flipbooks, for some time. Actually, i've been doing it since one of my friends done an awesome animation, which you all should see too.

[link]

Really, go see it.
Anyway, i'm thinking of doing an animation like that too, but with my own characters. But, i still need to train, and, i have to decide which idea i'll use.
I may upload some of my animation trainings, so you can give me some tips.

- Hmm...i think that's it?
So, just for fun, let's finish this with a character quiz.
Oh, and i've also found a drawn meme which i plan on doing soon, it's the same "type" as this quiz.

1. Luminia
2. Felixa
3. Rayne
4. Keira
5. Alexia
6. Layhla
7. Eon/Eisen (twin brothers, so, two in one )
8. Rika
9. Dorian
10. Chase

---------------------------------

1. 7 hits on 10. What happens?

...LOL...
Well, considering Eon and Eisen are mind readers, they read Chase's mind to know what are his interests. As soon as Chase notices they're hitting on him, he would just say they're too young for him. (also, they're both males, so...)


2. Oh no! 5 has eaten all of 4's delicious donuts! What happens now?

Keira would probably just ask Alexia if the donuts were good, then, say she could make more if Alexia was still hungry.


3. 6 and 2 are in a steel-cage wrestling match. Who wins?

Felixa, i think. Layhla doesn't like to hurt people. Also, she's really weak, physically.


4. Everybody's chilling and watching TV. Would 4 rather watch TV with 1 or 3, and why?

With Luminia. Being sisters, they'll have more fun watching together.


5. Who would win at a game of hide and seek? Why? Who was the best hider, and who was the best seeker?

Let's see...Eon and Eisen could be good hiders, since they could read the mind of the seeker from a distance, and know if he was coming...but i think Dorian would be the best hider, since he can teleport. Best seeker would be Rayne. His right (corrupted) eye could easily detect everyone.


6. 9 and 8 are in a dis-off. Who wins?

Rika, being just a child, against Dorian, an adult with lot of knowledge? Rika would probably ask help from Felixa after some time.


7. 1, 2, and 3 are in a decathlon. Who wins gold, silver, and bronze?

Well, if they're only allowed to run, no magics or tricks...Felixa first, Rayne in second and Luminia in third.


8. 6 and 5 both see a hot girl/guy. Who would be more likely to score a kiss by the end of the night?

Alexia, no doubt, seeing as she's very flirty. Also, Layhla is way too shy to try hitting on anyone.


9. 10 and 1 have to cook a dish together. What do they make? Does it turn out any good?

Luminia is an absolute disaster at cooking, so, she would help Chase only by giving him the ingredients, telling instructions, etc. As for what they make...i don't know, but it would be quite simple.


10. 2, 5, 6, 8, and 9 go out drinking together. What craziness happens?

Lol, here we go.
Felixa would be with Rika and Layhla all times, watching them, so they wouldn't drink anything, since they're minors (they wouldn't anyway), but, Felixa herself would end up drunk, resulting in Rika and Layhla taking care of Felixa.
As for Dorian and Alexia...well, after some drinks, Alexia gets even more flirty, and tries hitting on Dorian and other people around. Dorian, having only drank a bit, would try to keep her under control.


11. 3 and 6 are playing a strategy game. Who wins? What tactics did they use?

Rayne. Layhla doesn't have much experience at these types of games.


12. What would 7 prefer to drink: Water, soda, or beer?

Soda, even if they could drink beer. (minors)


13. 4 and 1 are in a duel and get to pick a gun or a sword. Which do they pick?

Let's see...guns...Luminia can easily block bullets with her magic, and Keira, being fast, could avoid the bullets.
As for swords...well, Luminia can create ice swords and Keira can transform the fabric on her arms in swords.
...but if they really had to pick something...swords.


14. 10 goes to the movies. Who does he/she take with them, and what snacks do they each get?

Everyone else. Rika, Eon/Eisen and Layhla would get popcorns, candies and soda. Luminia, Keira and Felixa too, except for the candies. The others would just get a soda, except for Rayne.


15. 9, 2, and 6 are robbing a bank. How does it go down?

Felixa, being very intelligent, would make the plans for the robbery, so they could make it without getting attention. She'd stay outside the bank, informing them of the current situation, and telling them when to move and such.
Layhla could act as a distraction, leading the attention of the guards somewhere else, while Dorian somehow entered the safe where the money would be, and teleport it all to...well, their HQ, or something.

In case something went wrong, Felixa could easily escape, since she was already outside, and no one could know she was linked to the robbery. Layhla would block the entrance with her barriers and protect herself and Dorian while they made a run for the money, got whatever they could and Dorian teleported them to safety.



16. 5 gets to make the 'hero's choice', in that 1 and 10 are being held hostage by the villain and only one can be saved. Who does 5 choose to save?

Alexia would probably save Luminia, since, although she doesn't know her or Chase too much, she knows a lot of people that know Luminia, but no one that knows Chase, so, she chooses Luminia.


17. 8 is getting married! Who would he/she pick to be the best man/ maid of honor?

Lol, Rika is only a child! Anyway, she would choose Felixa, seeing she is her sister.


18. 3 has to draw a picture. Does he/she use pencils or crayons?

Pencils, i think. But i really can't imagine Rayne drawing something.


19. 1 is going into battle! Does he pick 8 or 5 to back him/her up?

She chooses Alexia, since Rika doesn't know how to fight.


20. Which two characters are most likely to be best friends? Worst enemies?

Best friends...Luminia and Keira. Well, they're already sisters, but they get along really well anyway.

Enemies...? I think no one on the list could consider any of the others as enemy..."friendly rivals" at best, which, in this case, would be Rayne and Dorian.


21. Tag some party peoples!
If you want to, do it!

Well, that's it, see ya!

Long time no see, hm?
(quite long journal ahead, be careful,lol)

If you haven't guessed, i'm busy with studies, once again...but this time, more busy than i've ever been.
I'm near the end of high school, so i've been studying like crazy, so i can pass without worrying much (not that i'm with bad grades).
Also, for the whole year, i've been thinking what will be my job. Well, i thought a lot, researched about the programs, and finally, i found 4 programs that i think i'll be happy with (greedy?).
In order of the one i most want/want less:
-Medicine
-Computer Engineering
-Game Designer
-Educator/Teacher

So, you see, i have to study hard if i want to work as any of these. Although the teacher thing , it'll be more like a hobby than a real job, hehe.

With all those studies, i haven't been left with much free time. That's why i haven't been making much new drawings (doodles mostly), and not been commenting much, most of the times, i just have time to check how many new messages i have, and, since i don't like posting on "old news"...Of course, i'm trying to draw and comment on you people between one test and another.

Oh, still on the art subject...i'm now able (i think) to do comissions, for real money, since i finally got a credit card of my own. But i'm not sure if i should start doing them, cause i'm not an expert. I still don't know how to colour properly, or do a proper digital art.
Well, i'll ask you people then. When you think i've evolved to a level where i can start doing them, please tell me, ok?

I think that's all, see ya!
