O HAI!
So ys I'm still a bit inactive but some of you might've noticed faves popping up from me and even comments. LE GASP! Yeah... I'm sorry I've been terrible. And the funny thing is I have 2 huge papers due in two days and I wont have any time to work on them tomorrow so oh em gee i should get to that now!

but anyway. I do have some stuff to submit to show I guess but I will not because I have new terms for myself!!!:]

for every picture I submit I have to have at least 1 pixel icon done to submit along with it. Remember those? Yeah I've been working on them...sorta. That is to say I have the general idea for each one. so i see some of those in your future obviously

but first I gotta catch up on a bunch of deviations of yours.

at least i replied to everything..

yeah i suck

IM SORRY !!!


xoxo,
Elena

Hello there!
Leetle problem I have been discovering. Due to my recent habits of schedule as of late I have been pooped and found that there is no time left over to view your wonderful deviations, post up my own works and respond and be active! And so I am on a leetle hiatus. Hopefully though I will find the time like on the weekends. I don;t know how I waste those but they're the most unproductive things in the world.

In general I am pretty satisfied and happy in life. I'm a bit stressed about certain things like school. I'm also putting myself under pressure to do quick and efficient self improvements (but that's nothing new.)

Life moved on and what I feared had happened. I have become replaced in some peoples eyes which should be expected since some moved 7 hours away! But we keep in touch and we shall be visiting each other so that's something to look forward to.

Other than that, winter is coming and I'm really afraid because I'm afflicted with S.A.D. Thanks for the genes mom!! It is beginning to take root no matter how much I fight it. But hopefully the people I surround myself with will understand it this time and like last time it won't leave as much wreckage.

this journal's been all over the place eigh?!

so thats my minor update

P.S I finally felt proud of myself today !!:]



<sub>I was tagged because i was nosy:
1. Why did you join this site?
I first joined because someone had introduced me to it and I thought it was nifty (this was forever ago) I then proceeded to introduce it to people. The reason I stay on it is because of the people, the art work, and the artistic and critical growth. There are many reasons as you can see! Mainly I continue to be inspired and hope to do someone else that favor.

2. What does your username have to do with you? Is it a combination of your favorite things, or a character of yours?
It has to do with a play on a nickname I had at an earlier age. I really didn't like that time period but I have come to be a part of it. It was when my friend and I were researching another friend's xanga layout and found out she used a character from serial experiment lain and she goes "hey ! lain that word reminds me of you"

3. What is your current icon of?
Me as a genie going poof! out of a bottle and retracting back in. It is a set of two with my bff; ~Metalicity ♥

4. How many watchers do you have and how many people are you currently watching?
I watch 134 people, while 182 people watch me

5. Do you have more than one account?
I do but I would like to delete them when I get the chance

6. Name 3 of your favorite artists on DA.
~Metalicity, =Clap-san, =daekazu

7. What deviant do you admire because of their personality?
*LuteofWinter because she is so kind and has an amazing imagination. She's always brightened up my day even if we were talking about sad things

8. How many people on here do you actually know in reality? Post their avatars.
in reality as i've seen them face to face or knew them before DA? Imma take it to mean reality !
~Metalicity, ~catsrule, ~Versus-XIII, ~Gentlekrieos, ~hurricane-alla, ~R3m1xULTd, ~ShirubiaOfGangrel, ~tamoomoo, ~Violets-are-blue

9. Do you comment, fave, or both?
I try to do both I know how annoying it is when you get a comment like "OMFG I HAD A CATHARSIS YOU ARE AMAZING" and they don't fave >>, Or when the opposite happens.

10. What do you typically post on deviantart?
lately? photographs. But in general I have more artsy stuff where digital art was the most of it

11. Do you participate in clubs or contests here on DA?
I used to. Then college started

12. What is your most popular deviation?
Sonnet Bathed in Moonlight

13. What's your favorite submission in your favorites gallery?
hmmm..... I don't know but it's been a while since ive been proud of my own work. I was proud with 'runy with mystery' though. perhaps the most.

14. What are the things you wish you could draw better?
hahaha wow. everything. like everything !! X3 I don't even have a preference I will greedily nom nom on improvement knowledge

15. Are you a subscriber?
I was at one point.

16. How many hours a day do you spend on DA?
like .....half of one recently....

17. Are you a fast, slow, or medium typer?
pretty freaking fast

18. What is the most annoying thing people ask you?
for a request. but a really complicated one. where its like...wow you cant even offer a dollar ?

19. What is the most annoying comment you get?
omg i definitely had one of those. but usually the one word stuff

20. What inspires you?
EVERYTHING X3

21. Do you use any traditional media?
Yes and I'm leaning more towards it at this point

22. Do you associate people online with their icons?
yes at times but im good with names so i know their username and don't get thrown off when they change icons

23. Have you ever suggested a Daily Deviation?
yes. one ---> [link]

24. Everyone has considered leaving DA once or twice. Have you? Why?
yes. because of immature people, no time, and just depression at times. but i'm here to stay !:]

psh, do this if you'd like !</sub>

Hey!
First thing's first; thank you all for the kind wishes on my birthday you guys are awesome ~

And now to a more delicate matter; you all know that by now I should've been done with the icons...and also that I started college. Well these two things are directly related and their correlation is the reason that I only have 2 done out of the 13 I'm supposed to do.No worries there, I'm getting ahead of things and they shall be popping up as soon as possible!

As for life; it's been great really. Winter is a-coming so i have some sad spells here and there but this school year is a big improvement from the rest. I can't really talk about why on here but basically social reasons >> <<.

I have something to look forward to everyday and although I sometimes get unbearable tired; that's my own fault because I don't go to sleep on time. So as soon as I start going to sleep on time it shall all be muuuuuuy better. I'm planning to start going to sleep verry early starting today. though that was my plan yesterday that failed miserably ! :<

Another guilty of mine: your wonderful deviations! I'm having a lack of time on going over them and I do promise when the weekend comes around I will go through at least one from everyone I watch (and who is also an active watcher of me. because those deserve it more )

the offer !!!~
So above I mentioned the offer of 7 lucky... or unlucky however you want to put it ! getting a free pixel icon made to them by moi. It's basically self explanitory. The reason I'm doing this is because I want to do something nice . hahaha and i odnt have time for 10 free sketches because I kind of want to work on my own ideas for now. AND I need practice with the pixel things and I find them extremely fun to make. Also I pretty much really enjoy talking and socializing and seeing all your work here on DA so I felt like I should give back.
however this offer ends in a week. So if only 4 people registered ....then only they will get icons

and also I'm making a new icon for my best friend and i and of course the lovely ~Crystalsoul ...because i want to , hahaha . so they dont count. so theres 3 slots open right there.
that explains why its 7 doesn't it?

my first day of college:

was great actually ! thank you for all the support I received from everyone. Even the nice people on the train who found my little doodles on my friends card pleasing to the eye. I usually give people who like my art on the streets a piece of it but i was with my current sketchbook and well ...last time i did that i got yelled at so i need to create a bunch of extra pieces to give away

the last few days have been especially great basically. I love everyone in my life, and they're making me uberly happy. I especially love my best friend ~Metalicity PLEASE check out her things and fave and wishlist and comment on it . She's one of those very underrated artists on DA who deserves a lot more than even the really famous people out here!

anyway, todays class was the one that relates to what I'm doing most. But it turns out, i have ti twice a week and two different teachers. one teacher, the one i have on fridays, is sculpture and the other one is more for the 2d illusion jazz.

I'm going to be kept very very busy up here. But I promise to make DA my tradition and not neglect it. Hopefully I'll have more things to show.

And I'm always open for cheap collabs (just name your price!) lol


I met a couple of nice people and already had lunch in a group which is a really big step for me i think. i always underestimate myself in this field

but i really wasn't looking to make friends but im really happy i did. they seemed like amazing and nice people.

I'm working on a couple of things right now for some people and am really excited to put a couple of my own characters on paper soon

so yeas thats my life

hows yours?

did your school start?

how'd it go?

P.S sorry no tag for today cause there were like no new tags on peoples pages XD . i should start up a fun one

hanyway !~
