k so...

My laptop finally fizzled out. Which is alright I guess, except that I didn't recover all the files in time. Hopefully my husbvand can get it to function long enough to burn the files onto a CD.

Also I was FINALLY working on a new piece of art. I managed to save and upload the partially-coloured Photoshop file, but unfortunatly I don't have Photoshop on Randeh's computer.
And I can't find the CD.
Cuz I'm retarded.

And ditto for my Intuos CD...

But in better news, once I get all of those things and my scanner for this computer... Or a new laptop... I'll have new arts! YEY!

Kbai.

k so...

I've been getting a lot of questions on what server I play on in WoW, what class, etc. If anyone else is interested, I've re-rolled on a new server for BC. The server name is Auchindoun and I play (of course) on the Horde side. I made my priestess character on there, too.

Anyway, I've been drawing less and less furry-related things (thank god). I've shifted my focus on the comic into a different part of the story, and a different style as far as the characters themselves go.

I'm also at work so much and taking care of my daughter and husband so much it's hard for me to get any new art up. Sorry to any who care. But I'll hopefully get some newer stuff up sometime this month or next. Another big part of the delay is that we're still shopping around for a new laptop for me. If we had more room, we would just buy a desktop, but eh.

i'm rambling.

KBAI!!!!!!!!

k so...

I got promoted at work a few months ago (yey), which means that I have very little personal time between that, My husband, and raising my bebe (read: poking my bebe with my feet while I play WOW).

So I'm probably gonna try to do some more comic-y stuff soon. Not really LaSintesi, necessarily. Probably more goofy stuff maybe. Which means since I said I'd do it, I probably won't.

I'm sleepy.

PS if you wanna say 'hi', I have a myspace thingyjigger. I don't really understand why it's there or what it's purpose is, but like most of the 18-35 age group, I got suckered into making one. Just note me for the link. Or you know.. hunt it down on your own. Cuz I just now forgot the URL. Cuz I'm stupid.

kbai.

<3

k so...

As you all may or may not be aware, I work full time right now. In addition to being gone 10+ hours a day, I also have a bebe to take care of before and after work, plus during the night when she wakes up.
Now, Randeh and I work our butts off for what we have, but it's still not quite enough to support our little fambilee~

What I'm thinking is maybe starting up some sort of bargain commission ring. $5 gets you a sketch, or a port, or whatever I'm feeling up to. Like one of those Mystery Bags in the candy aisle at the grocery store, only mine actually have crap you might want. And no stale knockoff candy (unless requested?).

Also, I've been working on a port set for furc. I was thinking of starting a little $1+ fundraiser to help me finish. Because I'll be damned if my darling husband didn't just last week go out and buy me a brand-spanking-new INTUOS3. =O Which set us back another $200. Aiee. But it is sweet~

Sound like a good idea? I think so. I also think it is most definatly 1:18 am.

So note me, reply, AIM, or whisper me on furc (hydroisis or zsa zsa) if you're interested in anything listed above.

Otazine is now for sale on Amazon.com, as well as the Otakon website.

Issue 0- [link]

Issue 1- [link]

Otazine is now a brand rather than a book, so expect to see an individual LaSintesi issue for sale later this year. I'll be really taking my time with this one (Rather than sloppy inks and black paintbucket like the last two), so it'll be worth it to spend the moneys. I super promise.

Now I have to go cuz my daughter is watching Dora the Explorer and I'm about to smash something.

Thanks to the people who responded to my last entry, the virus has been defeeeated! Much <3 for them.

I got my full-time job back, so I won't have a lot of free time between it and my family. =3 So if y'all want a commission or request, it may take a while (That and I'm still trying to find my previous commissions so I can re-scan them in higher quality).

So.. CON INFO! yey. I'll be going to A-Kon this summer, since it's like, 30 minutes away. Probably only for a day though, since I don't get a lot of time off. Maybe Saturday, or possibly Sunday since it'll be less crowded. Friday I think would be too crazy with the lines and everything, unless my pals are dragging me in that day. I won't have a booth or anything, but I'll be paroozing around.
As for Otakon... Since I haven't heard a whisper about Otazine this year, it's doubtful that I'll be able to go. Sadface time.

But awexxxomeness! My husband got me free tickets to go see Silent Hill the Movie on the 21st. Some special radio pre-screening thingyjig. Then we're gonna go see Rob Zombie on May 5th. So the next few weeks will be like halloween. =O

Anyway, I think that's it. I'll try to doodle some crap soon, but no promises. =/ Kbai.

So I have some horrible virus on my computer now.

I have no idea HTF I got it, but apparently it's a real nasty little thing. It pops up winfixer, which is some dumbass popup program that's just plain annoying. I also keep getting install prompts, popups warning me that I have the Blackworm virus, and all sorts of crazy crap. Randy has tried everything to get rid of it to no avail. I can't even get an effing system restore out of this thing... I went all the way back to the beginning of February. =/
I deleted all my unused programs, and nothing out of the ordinary is listed ANYWHERE. Ugh.

I dunno wtf to do... Maybe I should just save up for a new computer, but we have so many expenses. xx Between the baby, the car, gas, insurance, bills, and everything else... I dunno how we can do it. We may have to go back to being a one-computer family, but that was tough. That and I have all my iTunes shows on here, my art, my programs... it makes me really sad. I don't understand why people make viruses/spyware/trojans/etc...

It's like the mindset of criminals who steal and cause harm to people... They want to feel powerful. They want to feel in control. It just drives me crazy that some greased-up dillweed is sitting in front of his computer guiltlessly ruining peoples' expensive computers and all the data on it...Think about it.
All the photos of Allie when she was a baby we have on here... our wedding photos... My work which I get paid to do but now I can't finish it... My iTunes shows which were my Christmas gifts... This laptop itself was a gift from my dad just last year.

I just hate it... There's no need for this kind of stuff to be in the world and I sincerely wish people would stop making it just to get their own self-gratification that they have ruined someone's stuff. For what?

And why the HELL is winfixer.com and amaena.com still up?! Shouldn't someone have tracked them down by now? Good golly moses.

I was rummaging through my pictures today and found a bunch of cute ones that I either didn't scan or didn't finish... So today or tomorrow (whenever I have the time), I'll start uploading a bunch of them for your veiwing pleasure.

Watch my scraps section for cute doodles or unfinished pieces. I upload there a lot more often than I do to my normal gallery~

Anyway, me and my little family are moving back to the Dallas area soon (TX, not OR), so after this art dump, it may take a while for me to get more up. And to finish existing commissions/art trades/requests.

Which is why I'm gonna do as much as I can for the next few weeks before the move (in between packing, household chores, and watching the bebe). Also the extra cash from commissions certainly helps in moving all of our stuff and the bebe's stuff back down. Shipping costs are craaazy~

Also, omg Animal Crossing: WW is teh greetest.

-Anything is appreciated and nothing is really set in stone as far a price. I'll try my best on whatever I do. Here's my list of what I can do (Things marked (CASE BY CASE) mean that I'm not confident enough in that area to do anything with it):
*Furcadia Portraits (Remappale and non) (CASE BY CASE)
*Full body CG
*Full body Ink
*Full body coloured pencil (at your own risk )
*Scenes/Comics (CASE BY CASE)
*Multiple characters interacting (please no more than 5 or 6...)

I accept paypal, check or money order. Note for details.

Art Trades and Request Status: If-I-Feel-Like-It basis
-If I do everything just for money, I get a little burnt out. =/ So every once in a while I will take an art trade or a request.

With commissions as well as art trades, PLEASE be patient. I stay home all day, but I do have a house to clean and a baby to take care of... And we're moving in two months, so that may effect my speediness... Though I'll try not to let it.

So a contest... Or a challenge really. Or maybe just some advice? Fuck I dunno. Everyone's doing a contest these days so I'm hesitant to call it such.

So I can't figure out WTF Hyd is. Retarded, I know. I had her slated as a cat/fox for a while, but I dunno... She doesnt really look like it. I was thinking maybe a dingo, or a coyote, or a fluffy tailed cat, or a dog of some kind, or a fox, or a fennec... I dunno! I was hoping maybe some of you out there could doodle Hyd as what species you imagine her to be (combinations are fine), based on how I draw her. Heck you can even draw her as something completely different if you really wanted. XP For fun.

I figure after a few months or as soon as I get enough entries, I'll pick a winnah and Hyd will be that species. If you need more than just Hyd as a reference, there are pictures of her siblings scattered throughout my gallery (Tempest, Cascata, Naia and Naida, and maybe a few others). If it helps, Hyd is from a string of islands and her people love water (Hyd was a water elemental in RP).

-PRIZE?!?!?-
I'll draw your character! =O Totally original prize, I know. If you play furc, maybe I'll throw in a port, too.. Also just for fun cuz chances are it'll suck. (I ain't too good at em yet) And.. I dunno.. You'll get wicked mad props from me? Everyone likes wicked mad props.

So like.. Help me. D= plz. kthx.

Merry Jingletime!

For Christmas cheer, visit this guy-
His stuff is the complete shit. He's only 16 and he does some of the best flash animation I've seen, next to Bitey. His style is reminiscent of Ren & Stimpy, only with less sick jokes. Again, only 16 years old! I am insanely jealous.

So for X-mas, for those of you who don't know, I got an IPOD VIDEO. zomg. I have the best hubbins ever. Now Randy and I want desperately to do a podcast, or at least I want to and Randy is going along with it. On what? I have no idea.

I wanna do another comic on a regular basis. Suggestions are hella welcome.

Now to do some last minute geeft wrapping.

END LIZZEH TRANSMISSION

wtf news.

Okay, so I realize that it's kind of a hypocritical title, given how my pictures are decidedly busty.
But seriously, I am so fucking sick of looking at art, and on the side of the screen is someone's headlights staring me down.
Just yesterday, there were 3 Daily Deviations with tig ol' bitties hanging out. Now today there's one with some girl just kinda hanging out with some seashells next to her. SEASHELLS DO NOT MAKE IT ARTSY. D=
Seriously, I have no problem with artistic nudes. I think they can be beautiful and meaningful, and full of emotion and human vulnerability caught on film.
But THIS- [link] Is a god damn girl laying on a curtain and seashells!
OH BUT SHES HOLDING A SEASHELL AND LOOKING AT IT. ITS DEEP. She looks BORED.
I wish people would stop having hard-ons for daily deviations that have tits popping out all the damn time. Artistic nudes are losing more and more of their meaning wit the sheer mass quantities of titties that I'm forced to see on the side of my screen every fucking day.
I just know that there's seriously better art and photography than that out there that deserves Daily Deviation, even if they lack nipples and crotch-shots.

wtf news.

Baby Alexandra is home and well, for all of you guys who don't know. She spent 3 and a half weeks in the NICU, and came home healthy and without a monitor. She had to go in for a small surgery last week, but she's still doing fantastic. 6 and a half pounds now, getting closer to twice her original birthweight. I'm so proud.
Supa mommy.

Been working on the sequal to LaSintesi (since eh... Let's face the facts that Otazine and the original LaSintesi is going slower than a crippled snail). Just some casual little project for me to do when the mood strikes me... I have a lot of time to sit around.

I have a few new pictures to scan. I've also been thinking of uploading my tattoo flash sketches to scraps, but I just hate taking all that time to scan and edit and save, when my tablet is EFFING BUSTED UP not a year after I got it. I hate you, Wacom Graphire. Your cords suck.

On another note, I've been thinking of holding a contest, since it's the trendy thing to do. Just some casual little thing, nothing complicated, just for fun. Still working out wtf the prize could be though. Might just be whatever the hell I can scrounge up around my room, or like.. $5 and a pic or some stupif crap like that... Since I'm, yanno.. POOR.

Also may be moving back to TX sometime coming up. Who knows! DUN DUN DUUNNN.

Went into preterm labor starting last week, so the doctor has put me on bedrest. Which means 2 months of going from bed to the bathroom and back again.
sux0rz.
No new art as of late. =/

So it seems every archive nowadays is having some meltdown or management issue or something.
FA had some weird split up and is now like, a forum.
Yerf is godknowswhat. Pretty much the same thing.
And now DA is having some issues or something?
I'm not that with-it... All I know is that someone got voted off the island and there's something trying to pass about some grading system... like A, B, C, D. I tell ya, I'm not gonna be too thrilled to throw time and money to subscribe to a site where I get like, a C or D ranking. That just isn't good business.
Maybe I'll just go back to VCL, horrifying as that sounds... Or, since I'm all lazy and preggy, build my website back up.

Or maybe I'll just drop out again like I did back in the beginning of '03.

Either way, it's no skin off mine or anyone else's nose.

In the meantime, the baby is doing fine, I suppose. Kicking and putting me in much pain. I'm 25 weeks now, or about 6 months along. My stomach still hasn't popped out, and I basically look like I've just been eating junk food a lot lately to give me this pooch. I'm a little worried, but my doctor claims its alright. I must just be carrying her further back than most people. Which is fine... I still get to look cute in maternity wear, as opposed to feeling like a whale dressed in a circus tent.
Bought some cute stuff at Old Navy. They had like, uber75%offclearence, not that it matters to anyone else... except that to anyone reading this who may be pregnant, or become pregnant, go to Old navy. Their stuff is teh shizz, and cheap, too. (maternity tank top was 78 CENTS YO)

I guess the comic is fine, too. Did all the editing for Nik, and I guess Otazine went off to the publisher today... Hopefully. Randy is gonna start on LaSintesi's next script soon so i can start the artwork early.. And have plenty of editing and addition time to make it look as good as possible.

Also, I am taking some light commission work again since I have about 3 months of laying around to do. So leave me a note if you want somethin' doodled up. Prices are totally negotiable right now since I'm gonna be super laid back in the dealings for a while to reduce stress. La~
