Got communications back up. Had a family emergency this week. I am not sure if ArkNorth wants to talk about it - another one of those weird health-crisis things in our family.
The person who originally sent me the needle-felting supplies, a book, a kit... she is a relation of ArkNorth's and came for the emergency. She showed me her work (which shows me how much I suck as a newbie at this). She was going to teach me her techniques, but that fell through because we had a falling out. Without getting into it, I found out pretty starkly that she apparently doesn't think of me as fully-family. I have a couple of books that she gave me on the craft and can certainly look up stuff online and/or continue to self-experiment / dabble like I've been doing, but right now, I'm associating the entire craft with someone who doesn't want me in their family, and so, I'm shelving it indefinitely / until I can feel like doing it again.
My experiments were ugly, anyway. Back to drawing, painting and making weird stuff out of bones.

Private collection, please do not unlock
private drawings such as sketches, portraits and various handmade drawings. Due to the fact that it is not possible to hide folders, I decided to use this form of collecting my works

Will Draw For Help.
We need a little help to get over the hump this week. We had an unexpectedly wiped-out paycheck due to someone taking out payment for a bill at the wrong time. It happens from time to time when you have to budget as tightly as we do. We need to be able to afford gas and car payments this week and we're in the red. ArkNorth has set up a Go Fund Me. If you would like to donate, we'd thank you a whole lot. And, if you wish, I can thank you with art! I draw mainly traditional media (I just don't think my digital works are very good). Will do fan art (She-Ra, The Legend of Zelda, Trigun, various anime and cartoons), fantasy art, animals, spooky scary skeletons. No porn. Contact me (email is shadsieblue@yahoolcom and my tumblr is shadsiethewriter) or just reply on here / this journal-thread if you want to chip in a five or ten (or more?) and would like to get some art out of it! The Go Fund Me:
Ick.
So, apparently Deviant Art is moving to their new format in May.
I guess I'm going to have to get used to it BY FORCE now.
The pages default to Eclipse. I tried Eclipse. I DON'T LIKE Eclipse! I keep turning it back to default because I don't like the new format.
I hate being forced into things I don't like. Apparently, DA doesn't care about leaving the option open for us old farts. They think it's an improvement, but I honestly find stuff on Eclipse more difficult to find and organize. I hate to sound like an old fuddy-duddy slow-to-adapt person, but... yeah? When I get used to something, I don't like change.
I need to do a cleanup of this account.
Now with the Eclipse features, I need to use those, clean up my folders and do some proper presentation...
One problem: I have a huge backlog and I am incredibly lazy.
Also, I'd be most likely to do it after October because I'm doing (L)inktober. I'm concentrating on that and I might make a new folder just for those things (since I've done it a previous year and have a load of the Zelda fanart now because of it).
As it is, I'm still mostly using the site on the old settings because they are what I am most accustomed to.
Newfangled Rasafrackin'...
So, I'm looking in on the Eclipse thinger... and it looks nice. I put up a cover-image. I'm going to have to fiddle around with it to figure it out more...
Where's the button for submitting art and journals on it? I accidentally clicked away from the intro video and figured that I learn by doing better, but... shouldn't the submit art button be rather prominent? Where did it go? By the way, I'm writing this journal entry on the old site format. I switched back so I could do it.
Please don't tell me that they're going to auto-switch the whole site! I'm going to need a lot of time to figure anything out!
SOME OF US ARE OLD, OKAY?!
