Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't made many journals lately, it always slips my mind. Very quickly I want to thank everyone for the lovely birthday wishes, I saw every one of them and intend to respond to them eventually!
But now for the real reason for this journal. I'm sure by now most of you have noticed that I haven't been posting a lot of art as I used to, and you're probably wondering why that is. If you're worried it's because I've lost interest in art, I'm shutting that down now!
The thing is, I don't have a scanner to upload art with and I don't have anything for digital art. So that leaves me with having to take pictures of my artwork with a camera. Sadly, my digital camera died a few years back so I've had to rely on my iPod Touch camera to take pictures. This is a problem for a few reasons.
First off, as anyone with an iPod or phone can tell you, this kind of camera isn't of the best quality. Images can be grainy or hard to make out without the right conditions.
Second, I require lighting from outside to get my art at it's best quality. Back before I moved, this wasn't an issue since my house had large windows in every room. But here, that's harder to do. The windows are smaller and therefore harder to get the right lighting, and if the weather is bad outside I might as well not bother since the art will look grainy. There is a large window, but because one of my dogs keeps barking to the point it's causing her bad stress we have to keep it closed. I've tried using artificial light, but the images tend to come out grainy and ugly. And without the right lighting, the colors come out wrong. I've had to take multiple pictures for certain drawings and even in those instances they've come out weird. If I'm just doing uncolored line art it's not that bad, but I've been using a lot of color since I've been trying to finish drawing the DLR cast. And more complicated artwork? I'm lucky if I can get that to come out right on camera.
Those two factors just make it hard to motivate myself to draw. Of course, I've also been wrapped up in my writing so I'm not going without making anything. Hopefully though I'll be able to make art sometime soon, and I'll try to finish the DLR cast before the year ends!

A Note About Eclipse And Where To Find Me
So uhhhhh, didn't mean to not write any journals for two years. That was an accident. Sorry about that. A lot's happened in that timespan but I'm not gonna bore you guys with all that. Plus most of it's not exactly happy stuff.
Anyway, you've all probably heard about DA Eclipse already. And you all probably have your opinions about it. Personally, I hate it. It's annoying and complicated and just straight up bad. Now, while I haven't exactly been posting a lot here, mostly because I haven't had much to post at all, I'm not leaving this place. While I don't use DeviantArt as much as I used to, I still make an effort to pop in at least once a
A Note About Updates
Hey there, been meaning to write this for a while but as usual I kept putting it off. Anyway, let's get down to business.
As you can probably tell, I don't have a Core membership anymore. I still need to open a bank account and I haven't gotten around to it. I'm not gonna ask for one again since I don't know when I'll finally get that bank account, if you want to send me one then I won't stop you but I'm not gonna ask.
Now then, I want to make something clear before I move onward. I feel like I have people who are watching me because they found my Homestuck content and are hoping for more, or there's people still hanging around for more of
Merry Christmas!
I'll make the update journal soon, but I just want to wish all my watchers a Merry Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or whatever winter holiday you may celebrate! I hope you have a wonderful day!
Mind helping me out?
Okay, so normally I don't ask for things like this, but I'm kinda desperate so hear me out.
Basically, for reasons that would take too long to explain, I had to close my bank account and haven't had the chance to make a new one. However, I won't be able to make one and be able to refresh my Core membership before it runs out, and my mom said it'll take at least two weeks for my card to work.
Now because of that, it'd be a real big help if someone could gift me a 1-month Core membership. I don't want anything more, just enough for me to open a new bank account and be able to pay for the full once I can use my money again. There is a deal goi
