Yay! I finally got the con slideshow done, as well as one of my two commission bits. I need to go work on the other one now, and then get to work on those samples. My list is slowly getting shorter!

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

My To Do List

1. 10 free sketches - More like 5 free sketches, since that's all the replies I've gotten. Proves how much my watchers pay attention to me, I guess. That, or how few I have.

2. Finish keychain for commission - This has taken me far too long, and I deeply apologize. I couldn't find a good way to end the keychain since it uses the same pattern as my bracelets, and then it broke when we moved so I have to make another one from scratch. I have the loom set up, I just need to get it made and figure out a decent way to finish them off.

3. Make it Matter Day - I have the last few to finish up. This is kind of on the back burner, but I do look at the pictures from time to time. I'll finish it when I get the time.

4. Subeta Pets - Ugh, this is always a struggle. For extra information on my babies, I did interviews and am trying to find voices for them so it's easy to approximate what they sound like. I need to finish the interview for Jaden and do the one for Sigrun, and I need to find voices for everyone but Mirik. If you'd like to help with voices, note me and I can give you some more details. I also need to go through a crap ton of songs and make playlists for all of them. This is also sort of on the back burner for the time being.

5. Stamps - Here's one that's super on the back burner, but it does need to be done. Subeta released sponge capsules for their Halloween event this year, and being the L4D obsessers that me and a few friends are, every time we saw one we'd think 'ills here'. So I wanted to make some stamps that said that, with a round template. I can do it, I just need to find the free time.

6. Book - I found a really nice book template, so I'm thinking about trying my hand at some photomaniping and illustrating either the short story I wrote for my creative writing class or my nox arcana inspired deviation, or both. This one will take some effort, since I'll need to read lots of tutorials on how to photomanip properly, but I think I can do it.

7. Bracelet Samples - For the glass bead designs that I have over on the craft account with called I need to make them into the actual bracelets so people can see what they'd look like in real life. They are made in the same manner as the bracelets from my number 2 on here, so they have to wait until I talk to my grandmother about how to finish them before I can actually do any.

8. Shonen Jumps - I got them for years, but I stopped some time ago and now they're useless to me. They're not worth any decent amount of money, and none of my friends want them (they either get it themselves or have no interest) so I'm slowly tearing the pages out. The glossy pages will be used as a wrapping paper of sorts for the crafts kozzu and I will be making in the future (got the idea from a girl who sent her a bracelet and had turned an old gamers magazine page into the envelope) and the rest of the pages will either be cut up because I like the images (hey they're mine, I'm entitled to that) or turned into strips the size of starburst wrappers so I can make chain necklaces and bracelets out of them. It's a slow work in progress for the time being.

9. Subtitles - Via youtube annotations, subtitle most of the 76 videos I've put up on youtube on my Sakise account. The only ones not really 'subtitled' will be the con slideshows, but those will have annotations to tell who each of the people is supposed to be, cosplay wise.

10. Subeta - I have two Subeta related things that I'll now combine into one for this list, since they're kinda short on their own. The first is to delete all my profile comments. I have over 150 pages of them, and that's too many. I want to narrow it down to less than 5 pages, so I'm deleting all of the useless comments I've received over the years. Slow, but it's working. The second is my wishlist, which is actually a massive project that will probably take me weeks to complete. I want one of every item on the site, plus doubles of wearables (one for the gallery and one for the wardrobe) and doubles of all plushies, beanbags, trading cards and tiles (one for the gallery and one for the collections) and triples of all the books (one for the gallery, one to turn in at next year's reading drive, and one to read to my battle pet to up his intelligence so he can learn more spells). I need to sort all these items and make my wishlist reflect what I do and don't have in these areas. Sounds uncomplicated, is actually uncomplicated, but will take me forever to do because there are so many items on the site and they keep coming out with more.

11. Gallery - Another Subeta related things. I need to make categories in my shop for all my pets and organize the items in that gallery so my pets have the items that I want them to have. Again, sounds simple but because of the sheer amount of items I have in my gallery it's a massive undertaking.

12. Clow Cards - Some of you may remember the one set I submitted, and that's just one set. I need to make the rest of them at some point.

13. Pokemon Inspired Outfits - I need to get back into designing clothes so once I convince mom to set our desktop back up (it's the only computer in the house that can run the printer) I need to print out my flat model that a friend gave me and start making these outfits. I figured pokemon inspired ones would be great to get me started again, until I can revive my muse and find ideas on my own.

14. Gimpy Pokemon - I made a joke once about a three legged Umbreon, and it turned into an entire pokemon team that has stuff wrong with it. I need to write about them, so this is another story that's on the back burner for the time being.

15. Zombie Story - Ugh, what is with me and stories? Sometime during con, my brain had an explosion of ideas that turned into a very strange dream about zombie survivors and genetic experimentation with animals, so I wanted to turn it into a story. You'll see this one eventually.

16. My Father - I've really lapsed with this one. I need to keep writing until it's done, but right now my inspiration is dead so it'll have to wait.

17. Children - Who remembers the six little devils I made that were the love children of me and my favorite OC? Well, I wanted to do a story with all of them so that's coming soon too.

18. Roleplays - I'm pretty sure Old Times has been abandoned, since my various attempts to contact my partner have failed miserably. Nosferatu, until a few days ago, was considered abandoned but then my partner finally replied to it's back in business. I need to finish uploading the last bits of Old Times and get up the rest of Nosferatu so I'm caught up. Ugh.

19. Plots - For my roleplay site. I have a few plots that I've had in mind for some time that I need to put up there. This one is easy, but it takes creativity which I'm lacking at the moment.

20. Doll Photos - My friend gave me a custom Bratz doll I named Aqua, a blank My Scene doll I have named Terra, and a My Little Pony customed to look like the Pokemon Mew, which I have just continued to call Mew. I finally put some clothing on Terra, and since then I've found that I'm fond of the trio. I have plenty of photos of Aqua by herself, but she needs some of her with her big sister and pet Mew. The weather has been rainy or cold lately, so I haven't gotten the chance, but I'm making an effort to take photos of them inside the house for the time being until it snows and I can get some wonderful snow shots.

And that's all. Nasty list, huh? Oh well, it'll all get done in time.

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

The first 10 people who comment on this journal will get a sketch, free. However, in return, you must offer 10 free sketches in your own journal. If you've already done 10 Free Sketches, simply link the journal entry in your comment... You still qualify.

01 - I'm not gonna be a Nazi and say you have to offer it in return. It would be nice if you did, but I won't require it.
02 - In your comment, include a link to a reference picture of the character you want me to draw. Or write me a description.
03 - If you'd like to request two things that's fine. I obviously don't have ten individuals interested enough so I'm desperate to fill slots.

Have fun with this, it's a great way to pass your talents to your fans.

NOTE: If you want your sketch colored instead of black and white, let me know. I can do colored pencil or marker, just don't expect it to be the best.
