Bluuurgh-Summer

I can't believe it's actually summer! I keep thinking its just the weekend and that I'll see my friends tomorrow at school. I already miss most of them TwT since I'm nothing without my friends, now I'm stuck home doing nothing AND being nothing.
Oh well, I still talk to them on google plus.
I love my friends so much <3
Me being a crazed FANGIRL and avid reader of any and all non-overly explicit teenage romance novels, summer has always seemed like the season when everything sweet and awesome and romantic happens. Going to the beach and having a romantic beachside picnic, or going to the amusement park and following that myth about how if you kiss someone at the top of a Ferris wheel then you'll be together forever. (For example, my one of my favorite authors is Sarah Dessen)
Sadly, being the awkward lump of fat I am, that wouldn't happen to me XDD
In reality, my summer isn't sappy dates or bonding, it's video games, reading manga and aforesaid teenage romance novels, watching anime/dramas/whatever is on, drawing, google chatting my friends and hanging out around my neighborhood with +Tina Wang and +Fern Ivy Bobashi Radish.
Well, whatever, if I need some spoiling I can always go to my best friends. Screw romance, that shit is overdone! I could just sit and derp around and be perverted with +Amit Puthan or chat spam +Barton Qian and be just as happy as if I were on the top of some Ferris wheel XD
I'm looking forward to going to six flags.. I'm finally going to ride the TALLEST ROLLERCOASTER IN THE WORLD, KINGDA CA!!!
(By the way, if you didn't know this already, I'm a thrill seeker. My bucket list includes skydiving, bungee jumping, sky gliding, parachuting, etc) I'm also, of course, going to spend my summer nights watching and reading my favorite horror movies and stories.
Jeff the Killer and Halloween, anyone? xD
Well, that's it for my summer. Wish I could go to some of the awesome places everyone ese is going, sigh~~ >_< but whatever, I think creepypastas and manga are cool too.
What are you doing for your summer? Comment and tell me!

ELA Comic Fail

Lol yeah um.
So, we had a contest in my school to create a Greek Mythology project (as most people following this blog would know since I talked about it on my MangaMagazine profile and the rest are in my class, lol) and it was just against the people in our class. I was desperate to win, woke up at around five or six and went to sleep at around one or two for three days straight. And I did nothing but sit there and work. (On Saturday I went to a birthday party, but I was there for a few hours and then came back and worked until god knows what time.
I was pretty disappointed that I lost, mainly because I worked so hard for nothing.
I couldn't finish it and people who read it didn't vote for it because it was incomplete.. I worked with three other people and they mostly did the story and I reformatted it into a graphic novel by myself and drew the whole thing by myself.
It's my fault we lost T_T sorry!! +Emma VB  +Amit Puthan
Well it doesn't matter, I guess. Congratulations to +Sarah Kwok for winning :) her comic was great, it had an excellent story and the art was good, too. A little book containing a lot of awesome. xD
I was thinking of scanning and posting the pages here and on MangaMagazine.net and deviantART.  Would anyone read it?
Here is sort of what the pages look like, I scrambled them up and took a few pictures xD

I was sort of happy anyway though, because my sister, who is a really amazing artist, she's 23 and she did graphic designs for this company called Yours Truly (clothes) and she draws awesome conceptual and abstract stuff as well, saw the pages on the table and she came up to me and said something she never told me before. She said "Those comic pages on the table are BEAUTIFUL. They look like they were printed out. You really drew ALL OF THAT in THREE DAYS with no help?"

I felt really happy because it was the first time so something I drew caught my sister's attention that much and that she talked about it that way. My sister is one of my idols and it just made me feel better about losing.

Cool awesome new site I found!

Found this really cool site called Art of a Freak! There's contests and stuff to join and I'll be joining as many as I can ^w^ and you can get an apprenticeship to get better at drawing! I applied but nobody's taken up my offer yet. Me and my friend JoJo applied and I'm sure we'll find some mentors! ^w^ the website is http://artofafreak.weebly.com and you can go there and see people's entries for the contests too!!!! >u< really awesome. I like that alot of artists there are beginners so everyone is learning from eachother! +Tina Wang you should check it out Tina because you're all embarrassed about your art but you're really good and your art won't be insulted if you enter a contest there ^u^ I'll be metering some stuff in when I can so maybe if you look in the contest galleries sometime in the future my stuff will be there! :D I'm going to be a sponsor for this site and I'm happy about it because I LOVE THEM! x3 a girl on PaigeeWorld posted a drawing about it and I checked it out! It's super cool x3 Im actually entering the original character contest and I really hope I can win something! Cheer me on guys? ;u; well all my friends are super supportive so I know they will ! <3 I know I haven't posted a blog entry in a long time, LOL I wonder if my two best blog followers have forgotten me n.n KEVIN AND SABINA DO YOU STILL READ THIS?! OuO well anyway yeah any of you guys should enter their contests, it's not just anime! They have an abstract contest, an invader Zim contest and more going on right now. (I'm considering entering both of those ^u^) I hope you check it out!

Feeling better~

I had a little downfall with my self esteem lately (I might have cut once... Stfu if your in my class and reading this you should've known xD I'm just kidding I love you guys) Anyway I felt pretty damn bad but I went out with my childhood friends for a bit and felt okay.
+Tina Wang, +Amit Puthan and +Sabina Radjabova i love you guys,I have since kindergarten, I always will. Thanks for picking me up. But really, Sabina and Tina, stop kicking Amit so much! Dx he's our friend, stop hurting himmm.
We went and had so much fun. C:
I went back to deviantart and Mangamagazine, I'm so happy! I got some great critiques today and I can't wait to post my manga.
I got trolled by someone but my MM friends are awesome and made me laugh hysterically so idgaf anymore.
Especially one person posting his picture from tumblr, oh god... I died laughing.
The Mangamagazine community is fabulous.
BARFTON if you say "no" I will kill you xD
Tina, you too. No "no."
I have to work on my commissions Dx that DBZ one is HAAARRDDD!!! But once I finish it, ten bucks for me Cx
And, of course, the other one.
I'm opening a bank account and then I'll finally open my online store!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But I lost my iPad stylus so I have to get a new one before I design new stuff, so for now only the five or six designs I have can be used.
But that's alright for now C:
And I'm also gonna sell little canvas paintings~
THEYRE SO TINY AND CUUUTE!!!
>w<
Alright so lastly:
I want some fan art of Henry, Allegra, Kiki, and the gang to feature in the manga!!!
Whoever wants theirs featured, send it to taliamamane@gmail.com!!!
No entries as sketches, sorry~ >_< they have to be inked and shaded/colored.
Thanks.
Also, thanks to my Mangamagazine buddies!!! :D
XOX bye everyone~

Back to commissions~

Okay so I'm currently starting that DBZ commission and I've already saved enough money for a pack of manga paper. With the commissions I have left I have exactly enough money to get ANOTHER one. :3 But after that I only have one last commish and then... *begins Le crying* AFTER THAT I HAVE NONE LEFTTTTT!!!!!!!
If you're out there reading, maybe you can try getting one?
Just a suggestion...Anyway, here's what that Naruto commission looked like:

It's a bad quality photo but screw it i don't need better it was a real-life commission,
The person who bought it really liked it >w< I'm so happy! Also, the guy who got the DBZ one is best friends with the Naruto guy and he liked it, too.
So I bet he's excited for his lol. Just kidding, just kidding, I'm not one of those stuck up artists whom think everyone is obsessed with them.
Alright I gotta go to school now so bye~
XOX

ANOTHER ONE LMAO

SO, screw that other online store, I'm making A DIFFERENT ONE!!! XD On THIS one, the prices are RIDICULOUSLY cheap, it's way easier and more fun to admin, AND I CUSTOMIZE EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!! LOL xD and they don't take any percent of my money, and it shows up in searches online, and it's totally free for me to have, and I can have help with it and space out my time.
Overall, *dies of happiness* but I have to make a bank account to link it to, I'm making it really really soon, and OMG IM STARTING TO SELL.
AND ALSO OMG IM GETTING MANGA PAPER ON LIKE TUESDAY OR WEDNSDAY OR BY MOST FRIDAY.
I RAISED UP THE MONEY AND I KNOW WHERE TO GET IT.
AND I HAVE MY SAKURAS AND AQUAS AND PAGE LAYOUTS...
AND MY PUBLISHER!!!
So yea I'm so excited!!!
WOOOOOT!!!
If you're excited too, gimme a hug!!!
XOX IF YOU'RE READING THIS I PROBABLY LOVE YOU!!! xDD
Alright XOX bye my loves xD

New online store, that other one kinda sucked.

This one has better prices, a way cooler layout, and MORE PRODUCTS!!!!! I'm gonna sell shirts, iPhone and iPod cases, bookmarks, mini canvas paintings, and MORE!!!! I'm also gonna sell my custom made jewelry (Didnt see that coming did you? I'm actually pretty good at making jewelry xD)   And even better... They only take three percent from the cost, whereas the other one took 80%!!!!!!
I'm SO happy jaqueline (my new friend x3) showed me it!!! The site is called Etsy, and I'll give a link to it in my next post!!!!!! (I need to validate my credit card number and social number before I open the store officially xD) When I do, check it out!!! Everything is gonna be real cheap, the shirts are only TEN BUCKS!!!!!
The iPhone and iPod cases are hard to get, though *cries* I have to make them $20... But I think I'll get some buyers. After all, there's TONS of people on Etsy.
LITERALLY.
xD
I'm making bookmarks now, so I'll put those in the gallery.
x3 yay, I'm so happy!
I decided to take a 2 to 3 week break from PaigeeWorld and deviantART, I FEEL SO RELAXED!!!!!! I always see Westine (my over achieving artist friend, ugh she's so good) 's stuff and feel depressed, like a failure, etc. but now that I don't see it because I'm taking a break, I feel great!
Like I'm free!
And also, I already have a follower on Etsy even though I didn't post anything yet! XD
Thanks Doris, love ya! <3
She made this AWESOME Hatsune Miku doll outfit, it was SOOO cool! I faved it and she followed me :3 I'm dying to post the bookmarks on the store but my parents have to come home so I can validate my credit card. *cry cry cry cry OVER 9000 TIMES CRY*
Well I'll just make a whole bunch until they come. x3
I'll post the link and the pictures later so
BY MY LOVED ONES!!!

That was sort of rash. I'm... Over it.

After getting yelled at (YES STERLING AND TINA I MEAN YOU) that I need to keep drawing I gave in.
Lul look forward to more idiocy!
Cuz I am gonna KEEP DRAWING, BITCHES xD

No more drawing for me

I think I'm going to stop drawing because I suck and I just waste all my time on it for nothing. Nobody even likes my drawings.
