Rules; (Or the ones I'm going to follow X3)
1. Each person must post 10 things about themselves on their journal.
2. Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post.
Ten things about me;
1. I'm sophomore in a digital art and animation degree. Working towards my BFA!
2. I have a fierce but friendly rivalry with another artist.... I'll keep their identity to myself! ;3
3. I looove japanese food, but hate mexican food!
4. I'm starting a collection of Neil Gaiman's The Sandman series. Right now, I need to buy issue three.
5. My boyfriend lives in Italy! It'll be a long time before I'll be able to visit him...
6. I have a lot of bad opinions about my own work, namely that I don't produce enough of it @_@
7. I love making art for species groups, but I could never actually make a closed species in good conscience!
8. I get really tired and feel nauseated easily, and have a fragile appetite. I'm not sure why, it's always been like this. :C
9. I'm making a game with a large team at my school. I hope to continue working on game projects during my last two years.
10. I hope to get a job as a 2-D illustrator or animator out of school.
-- Shinerai's questions
1. What memory will you cherish for the rest of your life?
There's so many I could pick... though I'd have to say, it'd probably be one spent with my family, or my best friend :zyymurgy:. We used to play in the woods outside of our houses, pretending to be warriors and magicians and characters from our favorite games and movies. I had a really good childhood, and the people I spent it with were a huge part of that.
2. What's been on your mind most lately?
Hmm! Well, it should be school... but I'm thinking a lot about my long-term goals. There's a con I want to go to in the fall, and a lot of things I want to accomplish with my art as time goes on. I want to figure out what the next step is to make me a better artist, and make sure I keep taking those steps. Sometimes, it's hard to figure out exactly where to go next to make myself more skilled, and more successful.
3. Where do you find peace?
Curled up in bed, listening to music! It's also nice to take long drives... if it's warm enough to sunbathe outside, that's also a lovely spot. Comfort is really important to a good state of mind, for me.
4. If you could erase one thing from your past, would you?
I think so, though I'm not exactly sure what it would be. Probably some of the more foolish things I did! If I could also learn from the mistake... I used to really beat myself up a lot over those, maybe I'd be a less stressful person if I'd learned to move on.
5. How do you spend the majority of your free time?
Fretting it away!! ...I worry way too much. I probably waste a lot of time just thinking about what I could be doing instead. Ideally, I would spend a lot of my free time working on my own projects or playing games, but I'm so tired... most often, I just sleep.
6. What do you love most about yourself?
Tough question XD Well, I like my arms! Not physically, I like how independent I've been able to make myself. It feels really good to know I can take good care of myself, and also be a help to others. It's a big source of self esteem for me.
7. What is the number one thing you want to accomplish before you die?
Thinking about death is pretty sad... I'm not sure if I could name one thing I'd like to do in particular. I'm just going to try and do lots of things while I'm here, and that should cover it!
8. What is your favorite song and why?
Either Arcade Fire's "Wake Up" or Amanda Palmer's "Truce"
The sweeping melodies, the progression, the roaring sound--- and both have a somewhat personal message. I love songs that demand this much engagement from the listener-- it really lets me float away into the story. It's nice to escape into yourself, and into the work of the artist, now and then.
9. What is the nicest thing someone has ever done for you?
just the other day, my animation partner got me a cupcake for my birthday!! I couldn't believe it... it was such a nice gesture.
10. What is something everyone should start doing for others?
I believe we should all share more of our personal posessions--- they're less important than other people, and there's nothing more comforting than knowing your friends around you are willing to buy you lunch, or give you some supplies if you need them. We should be each other's safety net in the event of trouble!
-- WrenTree's questions
1. Who are your main inspirations, not necessarily for art, but for life?
People like Miyazaki, who started their own animation studio to tell their stories, and went on to inspire tons of people... that's what I want to do, tell stories that are meaningful, and create a connection with the person who's watching.
2. What genre of music do you generally listen to?
It's a pretty vague distinction, but I suppose most of them fall under "indie..." though electronic is a close favorite. I have somewhat varied tastes... I wish I listened to more soundtracks :'D
3. Click "Random Deviant." What's your favorite deviation from that user's gallery? Why?
This one! The composition is fairly solid...
4. What's your favorite natural color? (one you'd find in nature)
That's pretty broad, since lots of colors are found in nature-- but I especially love the color that hills get off in the distance, when they become that muted, sky purple.
5. Do you keep a diary?
Nope! Though it's not a bad idea... I suppose a tumblr serves a similar purpose
6. What's one rule you like to live by?
"Don't be mean!" It's pretty simple, but it works. Never be mean, even if you think it's fair.
7. What's your favorite made-up species here on dA?
Hmm! It's hard to say, I don't know all that many. Of course the Avians have inspired me, and I've done a lot of work for the Shinlai, too. I don't know as much about any others, but they're all unique and interesting. I hope to make some of my own some day.
8. Do you prefer to live in the city, suburbs, or country? Or other?
I like being close enough to the country to visit, but I think the city/suburbs are the place for me. So many good restaurants.....
9. Silly question, but what's your favorite planet?
Pluto! ...Don't listen to what they say, pluto, you're always a planet to me.
10. Do you consider yourself a regretful person?
Oh, yes :C I'm always thinking of ways that I could have worked harder, accomplished more, done a better job. I used to get really anxious about the things I did wrong when I was younger. I wanted sooo badly to be a cool, mature adult!! ...heh, it's done more harm than good. Everybody remember to relax now and then; we're only apes on a rock, after all.
Alright XD I'm not going to tag people right away, but I might later! If I can think of anything..... Have a nice day, everybody..

Hey there party people!
I've responded to all outstanding DA notes and sent out photographs of all commissions, and so now I should be back in the game!
I won't give you a sob story, but there's a reason I haven't been able to maintain a very stable web presence here. The last year has been very hard on me, and as a result I've started to change as a person, and not for the better. I'm trying very hard to get my ducks back in a row.
I have lots of art I've done in the downtime that I should be able to post at some point, but it may have to wait until May! Classes won't let up until then, and I'm barely holding on as it is.
Thanks anyone who is still out there, an
Post-Rainfurrest Journal!
Whooah!! Sorry about going so quiet, guys, I've been completely wiped out from last week. Me and my roomate, as planned, went down to Seattle Rainfurrest to host an art table. It was a big success! Extremely exhausting, but I actually made a significant profit. The people there were really wonderful and it was a great learning experience. We had a booth set up right next to purplekeckleon, which was an honor!
Overall it went extremely well and I'm already making plans to attend again. Next time, I'm sure my drawings will be even better, and hopefully I'll even have something more to show from my "ongoing" (I wish it was MORE ongoing) project
(Commissions now full)
Commissions close tonight, so here's a last chance to snag something at my current rates if you want. I'll take two more slots, and then they'll be closed down until I can finish the list and set up new prices and examples. Thank you everyone who has already ordered, your support means so much and I promise I'll work my hardest.
Commissions are now full and closed! Thank you so much for everyone that ordered one. Once I complete all of these and re-organize my prices/commissions page, they will re-open. Since school is starting soon, it may take a while, but I can definitely promise they'll be open again sometime in December at the very late
Livestream! (offline)
https://www.livestream.com/momotown
Please join me as I work on a commission! I'll be hosting throughout the night.

Late comment, but 5. in Shin's questions is so me, I keep worrying away maybe 75% of all the time which I could have spent to get crap done. Why.
