Hellos alls!!! (^.^) Yes, I am reiterating the title!~~~ (>_< )

Fear not, for I still exist, at least in the real world, but not so much here on DA. Unfortunately, drawing is not a subject that I seem to be finding time for anymore. I still draw random and sterotypical pictures when I am bored at school (*although I really should be studying), but coloring them has been an entirely different matter! (~_~)' For some reason, I can't seem to finish them up!!! Weirdly enough, I possess a ridiculously high quantity of half colored, or half drawn images lying around in my folders. It's rather tragic, to say the least.

I wish to complete them before Christmas break ends, but I have to finish up on my current commissions first before I even touch them!!! (^_^) So alas, they shall continue to poise in tranquility until their the time arrives, ... I suppose.

Another factor at hand is a direct result of the SL game that I am currently involved on. I am working really hard on acquirng a massive array of clothing articles outfits to sell in the game, which is quite time consuming as well. I've mentioned this before in the spring, but I think many have missed out on this information! (^_~) It is actually quite a fun hobby, but challenging at times because I can never quite make things the way in which I envision them or would otherwise be able to draw them. SL is a difficult tool to fiddle with! (>.< )'''''' If you've never seen SL, then it may be difficult to imagine what in the world I am talking about!!! (@__@) The following images are to help clarify:

* A pictures of our digital store, but some things weren't loaded before I took the photos, thus the blurriness in some areas.

* Example outfits:

So yes, I really really want to post some new images, but it is just taking longer than I wish! I also think that perhaps my lack of motivation for coloring my images is due to the possiblity that I may be growing tired of utilizing only traditional media. I think that maybe I will try to digitally color some images in the future! (^__^)' I am rather curious about the process involved there. Any tips on the matter would be helpful as well!!!

Wait! One more random thing!

What's up with the Deviant note spamming? (o_0) 10 weeks and 4 days since my last login, and I recieved 31 of them despite the inactivity. Is this a trend or what!? It is quite pesky to say the least especially since I can not even begin to imagine how they mangaed to navigate to this inactive account. 'Tis insanity!!! (@_@)'''

Anyways, thank you for your time and support everyone! I appreciate it beyond words!!!! (0^____^0)

Ciao for now,

Francessca~
