Good morning, those who do not delete all journal notifications like I do.

I wish I still had time to create and submit art, but I am busy with school and other stuff.
I guess I didn't mention that I joined the Marine Corps- I am training to be an aviation tech. I do find time to draw in my sketchbook, but it isn't anything I will submit.

My GIMP tutorials continue to be the only thing that gains attention, but I am happy to be helping out these new artists. :)

Take care, and sorry I do not reply to your comments.

Hello people who don't just delete all of their journal notices like I do.

I'm going to be taking a leave of absence here for a few months, so I apologize for not being able to promptly answer all of your questions like I sometimes do.

Unfortunately, you will likely not read this after posting a question/comment on my tutorials, but hopefully you can figure it out on your own. :D

I will be back around mid October and probably just delete everything, but any specific questions I'll try to get to.

So for now, I just want to say thanks to all of my fans and to all of the people who say nice things about my doodles/tutorials.

Have an awesome day!

Semper Fi!!!

I died.


Thanks for everyone who leaves nice comments on my art and tutorials! I am glad I can make you all still laugh or teach you something new~


Life is hectic, but maybe I will have more time now that I'm on my own. It's a big bad world out there, stay young while you can.

Much love,

Tonya

Thank you everyone for the faves and comments



The popularity of my GIMP tutorials makes me pretty happy. They've got to be a couple years old now and they still get faves and comments every day. I am so happy to be helping out people.


My art has been nowhere- school and work has really got me down. I guess it comes with the age ya know.


Tough times and tougher circumstances have made me bitter and lazy, but I do love you all for the nice things you say and do.


There are good people out there, but you need to be a good person yourself to find them. You are worth your weight in kindness and honesty. Unfortunately the bad people know that too, so be cautious.

Much love,

Tonya

So midterms and work and general business has kept me away from here (submissions, that is) so sorry for that.

I have the other three linearts for the Amazoness series of drawings. I'll finish those when I get around to it.

My college gets out a week after all of the other colleges around here, so my break isn't until the 15th. :( Oh well

Two more midterms and a paper (in Spanish) for next week, so don't expect much from me.

Not that you do, but you know what I mean. XD

I'm off to work, gotta make dem petit fors

I ordered one, finally- the cheapest Wacom I could find- one called "bamboo" or something like that. It is tiny, but hey, I've never even touched one before (and I don't remember even seeing one in person) so it should be interesting to play with.

New comic coming soon- Something hilarious (imho) and based on a true story.

I downloaded lots of GIMP brushes, so fun fun and thanks to the people who make them. :)

I just uploaded a bunch of new sketches in my Scraps section- check them out and let me know what you would like to see finished! If anything looks off or could be better, please let me know! :D

I am back at school now, so I can scan stuff. I found some old comics I made in October- I laughed when I read them again, so keep an eye out for some comics of mine!

I have been pretty inactive over the winter break (no scanner). I've done a lot of sketching that I want to get to when I head back to school. So, if you would like me to sketch you a picture of anything or do a trade, let me know, I am always looking for some fresh ideas! :) I will upload it in a couple weeks and finish it if I think I did a good job.

A picture that I've been working on for two weeks won't open anymore.



The path numbers were in the 300's. If you use GIMP (or paths, for that matter) you know-- that is a lot of work. Not to mention all the layering and coloring.


The lineart was so much work.

UGH


If I don't figure this out I will be very discouraged.

I want my picture back!!!!!

I'm so excited about House MD tonight. ^^ My floor has a big screen rented.

I'm so excited

Woo.

It's been a while. :) But I'm glad to be updating my dA. I uploaded the things I've been working on, but without any anime crap, I am afraid it was not recieved as well.

Go figure.

But this is another thing I enjoy. Besides working way too much and school, I spend my days off (Monday and Tuesdays) with my boyfriend or at my life drawing class. I sleep little and drink a lot of water/coffee/soda to keep myself up. Spring break isn't for a while, but and Oekaki marathon sounds great.

I guess there isn't much else... I'll be in Mexico in July and off to the University of Iowa in August. Double major fun. Wish me luck in my art scollarship interview. X3
