I haven't been keeping up with this very well. i've got a TON of new art that has not been uploaded here. To be honest, if it weren't for a few faithful friends on here ( waves at 
and several others ) I don't know if I'd still be posting anything since I haven't been getting much interaction 
It's kinda depressing. But for those of you that still read these, still look and comment and fave, thank you very much! I'm still trying to post things for ya! sorry about the long periods of silence in between...I'm trying to be better.
You'll note that most of my art lately has been supernatural related - i've been in an art slump for a while and outside of commissions, i've been using fandom to kinda keep myself going. Sometimes it's prompts, sometimes it's for a story, sometimes just a random idea i've had...I don't know what's wrong with me, but if there's something I can keep drawing, I'm gonna draw it.
Also, so I had to get a new computer and I'm having a few issues with the transfer process. Meaning I've lost access to my NORMAL art programs and have been doing this weird juggling act to do any scanning and coloring at all. I'm still using the old laptop to scan using the old copy of photoshop I don't have a replacement for. then dropping it onto the new one via dropbox.
then I color it in Art Rage (because I literally CANNOT find my beloved Manga Studio 5 disc. Seriously, I found the box and the cd sleeve. No disc. like, WTH did I do with the disc???) which has been an interesting learning curve but it IS a neat program. However, with ALL the free programs I got with my intuos pen and touch a few years ago, (or, for that matter, GIMP which i've been assured is just like photoshop - it's not) not ONE of the programs can set up my ink linework for coloring the way i want it to.
trying to transfer all my old files from the old laptop to the new one is taking forever - the only harddrive i had big enough to do the transfer is KAPUT. it was nearly full of stuff to begin with and now i can't get it open - on ANY computer. Which means I've lost ALL my old art files - probably about 6-10 years worth? and without that external drive, there's no QUICK AND EASY way to transfer everything on the old laptop. so i've been using the dropbox and OH MY GOD it is slow. and i completely blame the old laptop - i have some pretty hefty folders and one of them took ALL DAY to transfer up off the old laptop...and 5 minutes to download onto the new one. Yeah. it's not my connection. *sigh*
Hope everyone is doing well! Talk to you (i hope!)

Huge Breath of Relief...
I am feeling such a sense of relief right now.
I kinda had a scare and i hadn’t even told anyone in my family that i was getting checked for breast cancer today...i’d found a weird lump and some sort of sore and considering family history, I was frickin’ freaked.
But i put on my YANA shirt and headed out this morning. had a pleasant talk about the shirt and the AKF campaign too with the receptionist and walked out with a clean bill of health.
and a medical recommendation for a reduction in size, which i’m all for.
I take my victories where i can get ‘em
Devious Journal Entry
Was wondering if I should add the other 3 parts to Katie Powers Adventure in Time and Space on here. there have been like, 100 views each to the other parts, but not sure anyone's actually interested or if they clicked because of tags, looked and said "never mind...."
what do you think, my loyal viewers?
I filled a sketchbook for the first time in years!
I can’t believe I’m about to fill up a sketchbook. Like, seriously, i haven’t just kept a sketchbook in YEARS. These days, all my designs and roughs are usually on scrap paper before I transfer them to nice paper. All of which is loose and then floating around the house.
I have 3 unfinished sketchbooks (one from 15 YEARS ago) floating around the house....
But now, NOW: I have a sketchbook that is 5 pages away from being filled up. I started it last spring. Out of curiosity, I took a look through it and worked up a breakdown.
74 filled pages. 41 of which are supernatural related. And I actually managed to refrain from rip
Inktober
I'm 23 days in to my Inktober. Every year I hear about it, usually too late to participate. This year, I've been in a bit of an art slump, doing none except for commissions. I'm using Inktober to get myself out of it.
To further my Inktober, i'm using the Drawlloween 2015 list a friend found and I've been following the prompts every day. I've gotten some truly fun things that i really liked doing out of this project. Not sure what i'm gonna do with them just yet, but definitely going to do SOMETHING with them.
About 2/3rds of the prompts wind up being something geek related...and the rest wind up autumn/Halloween cutesy related. I hope you

I'm still watching, if randomly. I'm trying to be better about keeping up this year (I think I say that every year, though). I've been the same the last few years, so don't feel bad. People come and people go, but good friends and followers are always around to fav, comment and overall say "hi" and check on you.
