Happy New Year! + Long Needed Update

Hope everyone had a great time partying and such.  I had a fun time at my friends' new years party...only bad thing is I pulled a muscle in my leg from playing twister >.<.  Honestly who does that?  Me!!!  My leg still kills, but I still had a great time ^^.

And I have some resolutions to fulfill this year as well, not only for school (last semester wasn't too great) but I have many for my gallery as well.  I want to (once again) thank all of those who have commented, faved, or even looked at my art work.  It really means a lot to me and makes me happy ^^.  But anyways, this year I really hope to get some of my traditional art up here.  I recently got a printer and the only use it has right now is something for me to stare at...yeah I really need to hook it up and get scanning >.<.  Yes folks, I write stories, I take pictures, AND I draw!  I'm SuperArtist!!!  I also hope to win a freaking contest.  I've entered around 10 and I haven't won or placed in one, so that's a MAJOR goal for me to achieve.  I also need to start practicing more, as I have a bad habit of staring at my sketchbooks instead of drawing in them (I really do have a staring problem...).  So yeah, I want to try one of those "drawing a day" things and get my lazy tush in gear ^^.  Two more things I want to get done this year as well; try my hand at pencil portraits (good with pencils, bad with portraits.  It's the best of both worlds!  *grunt*) and turn my story Half Breed into a comic.

And speaking of the literature category in my gallery, I honestly can't thank the readers enough for checking out Half Breed!!!  I've had this story in my head for 5 long years and the fact that I have it on here and it's getting recognized (even by a few people) makes me so happy!  I hope to get more feedback from the readers as well!  I already have a sequel (and possibly a prequel) in the works for Half Breed (not giving any details, don't want to spoil anything!).  I thank you all for reading, hope to hear your comments, and I hope you all enjoy!

ALSO!!!  I want to thank for doing the first EVER piece of fan art for Half Breed!  I about crapped my drawers when I saw it I was so excited!  Check it out here: stripedtulips.deviantart.com/a… it perty?!  (BTW, I've had 3 slices of chocolate cake today, so that's why I'm insanely freaking hyper >.<).

That's also something I wanted to mention.  Anyone who wants to do fan art for Half Breed is more than welcome to!  Just note me with a link so I can fave it!

So while I'm here, I'm going to try and sum up my goals for this year...

- Start practicing drawing more
- Start using different mediums (such as color, which I'm incredibly afraid of for some reason...)
- Plan out the sequels and prequel for Half Breed
- Hook up scanner and get some of my school/traditional work uploaded
- Practice more with Photoshop & my tablet
- Try and do commissions (once I hook up a paypal account and such...I still have no idea how it works >.<)
- Win a freaking contest!!!

If you can help me with any of these things, either note me or leave a comment here!

Hope you guys had a happy new year, and I look forward to hearing from you in the future!  LOVE AND COOKIES!!!
