10k - 200 = NOW!

Journal Entry: Sun May 11, 2008, 12:31 PM
3rd :dA: Anniv and 10k Pageviews

Two hundred views to go before I reach 10k pageviews. And just 5 days to go before my dA anniv. Hee~ countdown is fun. :airborne:

I'm giving Kiriban,btw. Screencap of 10,000 pageviews wins a photoshoot or lineart coloring, vector, or whatever you want me to do. :D

Unemployment and Commissions

I'm still unemployed, too. I applied for some web writer/editor jobs and whatnot. I hope I get accepted. I'm thinking of applying for a new instructor position in the University too. Yes, if it turns out good, I will be teaching.

But right now, I'm taking a couple of rackets here-and-there, like transcription jobs. I'm trying to save some money so I can go to Mangaholix and Toycon. Yes, I'm that poor that I actually have to work to be able to go to cons, even though I'm not cosplaying. (or maybe I will. Hmm..)

So I'm thinking that while I'm still looking for a job I might as well open up for comissions and whatnot. It'll fill up my time. I don't really know how these things work though, so I'm still thinking about it. I don't know how much to charge, plus I'm such a noob when it comes to those Paypal and shipping things. Any advice? Hmmm...

Adobe Illustrator

Yeah, getting addicted to vectors again. I just installed Adobe Illustrator CS 2 a week or so ago and it's my new :heart:. I was able to adjust to it so much faster than I did with CorelDRAW. Still making friends with the gradient mesh tool. As ~blooddx66 says, gradient KILLS.

One thing I hate about vectors is that it's so painstaking. It takes so long to finish a piece. Or maybe the instant gratification of too much photography spoiled me. I made this for about 16 hours. I'm such a noob, but they say it looks like him so I'm ok with it. On with the next project. :D

Webcam Photo

I changed my Webcam photo. It's an outtake from the Solar System Photoshoot and was taken by ~anathema-yume

I used it as my webcam photo because ~pierridae is off to med school and I miss her sooo much. We usually hang out a lot and do lots of crazy shoots during summer.

Visit her gallery and show this busy little med student some love.

:iconpierridae::iconpierridae::iconpierridae:
Now I'm thinking of changing my devID too. I'm running out of ideas though. And I hope however borrowed my (sister's) camera returns it soon. I miss taking pictures.

Issa's Birthday
~zero-shiki's birthday is coming up and I hope I don't get too lazy and finish her gift on time.

:iconzero-shiki::iconzero-shiki::iconzero-shiki:

Make sure to greet her on May 16 ok? Am sure she'll appreciate it. Hee~ :D

:iconpinklineplz::iconpinklineplz::iconpinklineplz::iconpinklineplz::iconpinklineplz::iconpinklineplz:

That's all for now. I wish I'd get another subscription so I'll have photos break up the text. I would've featured a deviation too but this entry is too long already. ^^; I'll save it for next time. :XD:

Much Love,
