Ive been wandering around the internet searching among the spca's to find that perfect dog to adopt (i am not yet ready for a dog atm) but i stumbled across this website http://www.animaladvocates.com/ and i fell in love with them and their cause, i also learned alot more about the spca's and pet stores around the vancouver area, i suggest if you love dogs/cats/animals you should really check out that website. So therin checking this website i remembered this cute little shiba inu that i saw in metrotown in an overcrowded pet store called animal comforts, she was rediculously overpriced and i had seen her at least a week before. i could not afford to take her away from there nor could i in the future and knowing what they do to pups that dont sell and get too old for a pet store i felt very depressed and wished i could just go back there and take her away. So ill stop rambling and get to the point. i want to help animal advocates and their cause by drawing 5$ pictures to donate to their cause, i feel this is more important than even me being jobless, which i wont be in a week (yay for me) so please. if you feel the need to help out in a way just ask me for a commission and all the animals will thank you.

ill make a list in order for anyone who would like any of the above and thanks for your consideration

well, here i am now in vancouver, its only been a couple days now but so far its felt like forever. i applied at the local superstore here thats only a small walk away from our building, i havent heard anything back from them but i hope i can work there. it would make work so much easier to get to rather than having to take a bus or whatever. Anyway vancouver is huge, but its spread out a lot, compared to grande prairie this place is way nicer, its easier to drive around in a city that was meant to be a city, even if the drivers out here can be really crazy.
 anyway i thought i would just update my life from my recent location. There are lots of furries out here as well, ive only met a small fraction of them so far.
but yeah, if your in the area, just sent me a note and say hi, or whatever, ill be around here for a while now.

oh yes and happy new year everyone !

ok so, im still on island for anyone who wants to  know... and i dont have my own wheels so i cant go anywhere, and my dial up sucks so im not on the internet much at all, dont leave until the end of the month probably... so yeah .. feeling kinda grumpy that no one even bothers emailing me or anything.  . =/  ...  thats all i feel like saying.

Ive been watching kyohts journal called monkey scribbles http://monkeyscribbles.livejournal.com/ that she keeps simply as a journal for her character on warcraft and it made me think of my char. would it be interesting if i started something similar? i would make it like a journal log for my character or multiple, and maybe i will make it useable for other people? if your interested Ryan..? or anyone who pays attention to my journal. any thoughts are welcome =)

ive been addicted to my Death Knight for the last week or so.. level 65 already...lol, and i realized after checking my art pages after a couple days they  hadnt been looked at in a while, so it took me a bit to go through them.

but as for the Death knights, i love them! its so easy to quest with them and they are really overpowered, you dont have to drink or eat half the time, so that saves on a lot of time. but as im on a pvp server im always getting picked on by the higher leveled DK's . but anyway, as soon as i level this guy ill probably break off my addiction lol.

as for other bits of my life, im moving again.. its not so bad this time, we sold half our crap and were not taking much this time, but yeah, work here has been really bad and we need jobs and money (doesnt everyone) but yeah.. ill have to give up my pets.. and i wish i didnt have to. maybe ill get others once we settle in a place.
 
anyway its late, and i work tomorrow, and im being silly and staying up later than i should *eyes slowly going square* maybe ill doodle up some DK pictures while at work.

Welp, back on the good ol Queen charlotte Islands, woo exciting. Its nice being home and seeing all familiar faces again, not like the big city where i never saw the same face twice... and its so quiet and beautiful here, so glad i came home. Some problems havent gone away with the city, my colitis is still acting up and i feel it pulls me down alot, like sometimes i feel like i should be so happy to be home, and i really am, but i dont seem to feel happy like i should be. Maybe i need to take my multivitamins all the time.. ive been slacking on that part.  But its spring, and things are growing, gonna have to get a garden started and work on that little chicken shed in the back yard. Fishing is coming soon as well, and that will be loads of fun, at least i hope so anyway.
  As for artwork.. i hope to get to doing some more while im here, maybe my sister will help me get back into the mood, ill have to hang out at home more often. And if any other artist is reading this i am willing to do any trades/commissions, i always love doing those, and it helps drag me out of my rut.
 anyway.. i should go, im on my parents dail up and i  know i shouldnt simply take my time like you would on high speed. So now i will go and hope to update this webpage as soon as i can from here. Maybe post some pictures of our new home.

why do i write here? nobody cares

so, been bored the last while since my WoW account time ran out, so i just sit around and zombie on the telivision, i cant really draw much either since we are packing. Gonna move back to the queen charlotte Islands at the end of this month. That and i cant sit still with this crazy husky puppy running around getting into shiz..... *dies* I need something to do like work on our story or something, but when i never get to do that either... bla.
    And artwork has been non productive, ive been working on several doodles over time, i have scrapbooks full of junk but no real solid drawings, im an invisible artist too... nobody really wants.
      anyway, not like its important or anything...just dying of boredom

found this while browsing around, and i thought it was kinda cute

a cool  video i saw on kyohts post, thought it was really cool XD snazzy tunes. Also check out the other ones, their all pretty cool.

well.. internet at home has been dead since friday night, so lately ive not been doing much at home except play xbox, work and homwork. Im nearing the end of my college life and i feel all the rush of getting things done squishing my brain inside my skull, most times when i have a couple of hours off from class i sleep.. ive been tired a lot lately.. right now i am doing some work which i had not started since yesterday, and is due tomorrow lol, good ol waiting till the last moment. anyway, i hope i will be able to do my own work once im done, i havent been inspired at all to draw any real big works yet, most of my brain has been taken up by my art classes, funny how that makes me so uninspired to draw. That and my scanner is kinda out of service right now.. and were moving in a month.. .. making my life just a lil more hecktick than usual. well i suppose i should go, im hungry and i dont have much time to finish my project.. i wish i could just throw it away and get the marks anyway... only two more weeks! only two more weeks! i can do it! anywhoo.. im off *poofles*

I know its been a while, Ive been fairly busy with school and work, but I have to admit Ive been addicted to World of Warcraft as well, and im pretty sure I will be for a little while. Once im out of college im going to be full time working, and I hope to get a job at a little self owned game studio, I heard they are looking for a full time conceptual artist. This got my little head into thinking, I would be a good conceptual artist, but there are some things I need to work on, in which case I've decided to do something about that.
My idea is to ask people (anyone) to give me ideas that they wish to see drawn (think conceptually.) You would then have to describe the characters, and the situation to me and I will have to find the best way to create it the way you want it. I am not asking for commissions, this will be totally free, and I would be really happy if I got a response to this, it would help me out a lot.
thanks for your time

yeah i know, its been a while, but who reads my live journal? Ive been doing quite a bit of work lately but i havent put it online, which i should do one of these days. Ive been fairly busy with school plus i work part time so i only get one day basically to myself, and by that time i really feel like simply relaxing.
This is my last year of college, and once im done here im hoping i can apply to a small privately owned game studio, ive heard they are looking for a conseptual artist, and i feel thats something i could do very well. One of the owners of the studio actually works here at the college, teaching a Maya course, which i think sounds really interesting, i might take it as a part time course, just to see how i can do with 3D stuff. Anyway ive talked with her, and she seems to really like my work, *shrugs* if i dont get a job there i will stay with my stupid one working in produce at the superstore.
Ive also been inspired by underwold/underworld evolutions, i went out and bought the special addition of underworld and it has some pretty awsome extra stuff on it. They show us how they made thier suits and werewolves and all that fun stuff. the one thing that caught my eye the most was their leg extensions, for if anyone wanted to have a realistic fursuit that would be something to consider, i thought they were really awsome, that and the way they made the jaw move look here to see what i mean http://www.tatopoulosstudios.net/
i have been drawing on my own as well, i started up a comic which will go whatever way it wants too, and its all acrilic paint so the pages stick together and i need to put wax paper barriers in it all the time. I can probably take some scans of it once my scanner is up and running again (which probably wont happen soon) On that note, we are also moving .. hopefully in a month... we can move into the city, that will make it a whole lot easier to move around, go to work, go to school.. stuff like that.
anything else new with my life... not really.. im addicted to warcraft, i should post some of my warcraft related artwork up as well.. lol. anywhoo.. ive gotta get to work and stuff... the usual.
