Yo peeps, quick help here: does SAI works with Cintiq on Mac? PWEEZ, I need to know ;; it has no pressure and I don't know how to fix it! >_<

EDIT: OK, I don't know how to emulate windows on OS, with crossover, Parallels, etc. And I'm not confident to try harder, but even if I was, I have no time to get really into this since I'm at work (I do work in a illustration studio, but they use PS here so there's no use for them to have other programs - apparently). Changing the tablet settings and reinstalling drivers won't change a thing neither so...



I've heard of programs like CLIP Studio Paint that are basically SAI for Mac, but they turned commercial and they're in japanese and the translated versions are only for purchased ones. Anyone, please? ;_; halp

May I have your attention please?

Wassup bitches? LOL, kiddin. So, eh... I've been away from DA and my drawings since lotsa weird (and bad stuffs) happened to me in the past year, as you know and notice. But I don't wanna complain about it.

I don't know why exactly but I've seen some Inuyasha fanarts lately and I decided to watch the show again (once in a while, I can find some time to sit and relax a little...) and damn, it is a hell of a show! I started drawing because of it, and now I remember why. It has some great characters, but not only that, they're greatly developed. The story is about adventure, love, good and evil, just like many others, but it has something I can't find in any other show; it's about deep feelings, the true human nature with all of what's good and what's... not so good, and friendship. About how hard it can be to be a mere human and make what is righteous, to deal with situations where you're truly envolved, and/or the people you love. Sometimes I smile while watching, sometimes it make me wanna cry (I'm serious about it!) sometimes I just wanna laugh at the villains failing with their evil plans... But before I lose myself explaining why this is the best series I've ever watched, I want to get into what first brought me to this subject: I need someone who have the time and passion not only for the show but especifically for the main vilain, Naraku, to take care of my Naraku Fan Club, and make people move their asses and to search over DA for the hidden treasures it keeps (fanarts, of course!), to promote the group and to bring back this little piece of heaven into my and other's people lives.


I know it sounds cheesy, but let me be!

So if you have interest just get in contact, send me a note ...or smoke signs, whatever.

Second, I have the intention to start commissions again, but I'm still not sure about how it will work. Maybe I should pick only one per day, a single slot that would be announced in my journal. Yeah, it's kinda of a lottery, but I don't wanna get a list larger than I can take, so... What you think?  

And third, but not less important, is anyone opened for trades? Don't take me wrong but I'm searching for good artists to trade with so if you are one (opened-to-trades-artist), or know someone who's actually accepting it, lemme know! Just please, be reasonable, I won't take any trades if I don't think it's worth. So no, it's not like I'm gonna exchange my work (for "free") for a piece of shit. *caugh caugh*

I just hope to be able to make a post and some drawing for the Holidays this year! >_<#

See ya around peeps! Lotsa hugs!

Hey people, help me spread my art through this new facebook page I made by liking and sharing it!  [link]

Thank you!

Thing is that since the beggining of this year, more specifically March, I've been involved with my family and hospitals issues. My father had cancer and in the last July 19th he passed away. In those last 2~3 months I had no rest. My mom had a mental break down and I needed to hospitalize her in a mental health clinic. I was alone with my father, and I was trying to take care of him... So I couldn't dedicate myself entirely to my drawings and such. That's why my activities were low and why I took so much to accomplish my commissions. It was and still is a very hard time in my life, but I think I should carry on with it - because that's what my dad would like me to do. Things are much more complicated than you can ever imagine or than I can poorly describe on this small text but I still have to take care of my mom and move on with all of... you know, this.

I'd just like to say I'm sorry for all watchers and commissioners that have noticed my lack of activity in the past few months. I didn't want to expose myself that way at the time by making a public journal but I always had the feeling I should give some explanation to those who always supported my art.

I hope I can get through all of this pain and be back to DeviantART and to my own art.

I know it's almost in the end of the dead line and I haven't even draw nothing yet, but if I do, and if you like my design, would you vote for me?

I'll try to draw something today and I shall be posting it at night. Stay tunned and ready to vote!

You what I hate? Stupid comments.

I'm not a big fan of cosplay 'cause well, I'm too picky to let any detail pass by and most of the times you just see girls cosplaying boys, you know. But THIS really deserve a feature! It's just freaking amazing! Not to mention that when I was 6, I was a crazy Shiryu fan girl e_e lol



Since I'm too away from DA right now ( just posting some old trash from time to time >_<) I may start to do this feature-thing more often.

Lots of people are making journals with pros and cons about the Kony facts, and yes, there always two sides of a story. And you should read about it and be aware of what may be true and what not. Plus, some people just don't support the cause because it's army based ( interventionist ). Or because the funds raised by the Invisible Children Organization are not fully used for what is proposed, some suspect. I'm not here to treat you like a zombie and tell you what to do, with what agree. I just did what I thought was right, but it's your choice to enjoy the organization or not, not only this time but always. And this will never mean that you don't care for those people, nor something like this. But guys, don't feel obligated by no one to follow something if you do not believe it 100% and even less if you're doing it just because other people said you should. That was my choice and I thought I should spread. You must reflect and then choose whatever you think it's right. Ok? Ok.


Now just a quick update, but not least important: I'm very, very, very nervous right now; my dad is in a hospital with a very critical situation. It caught me by surprise. He's life's still in risk. It just started 2 days ago, so I'm gonna slow down my work rhytim ( which I was JUST taking back -_- I'm sorry for that, guys ) for a while, until things calm down. Because they WILL, I have faith on it. You must have noticed that life loves to punch me in the fucking face. But I won't give up. He's in trouble now and I'll stand right here for him forever if I need to.

So I just ask you to be understanding in this difficult moment I'm passing through. I also ask to the ones who believes to pray for us and send your best wishes for his health.

Deeply wounded,

Saka.

A few people sent me this link and came to me asking to share it because of the number of people that watches me here. It is a campaign, an action against a man who committed many crimes and is still out there. It is really really important to sign the pledge and share the video and page to the highest number of people you can, so the world will know who's Joseph Kony and how we can stop him!

LOL guys, you trolled me hard with so many notes XD~

Well, I guess that's a good thing, especially because many of you are returning costumers! But still I can't take more commissions than I can handle... So if you took too long to make up your mind, wait for the next round and good luck!

Thank you peeps! :hugs:

New slots for commissions will be always announced through my Journal, keep an eye on it!

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS? HUH? HAVE YOU?

I'm the most proud owner of a Saint Seiya OCright now, 'cause I have a fuckin' awesome totem made by ~FaGian who's very very talented for this kind of thing; you should check his creations! I just woke up and had this on my inbox. Feels so damn good.

OMG GUISE THANK YOU SO MUCH!

And why is that? I recently noticed that I've reached 3.000 DA watchers and that's such an honor to me!

I know some may think this is BS and means nothing, but for I know how many of you are still with me since my very beggining, and this certainly means a lot. In so many ways you've made me who I am and you're still helping me to be a better artist and person. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Geez I'm dying of lazyness right now. I just came back from a trip ( beach time, yey T__T~ ) and meh... I must say, I don't like beach at ALL. Feels like the real Dante's Inferno. With my parents. And absolutely nothing to do. Along with a whole family of starving mosquitos. And last but not least, WITHOUT INTERNET!11111//!111 OMG!!1

Putting all the things together back on the car then getting on the road makes me really really tired. I'm also going crazy with my commission list that doesn't looks like decreasing at all D: Though I did sketched up some of them. Unfortunately I did not have



...nor my scanner to keep going with the works, but now I'm back I guess I'll get this things done soon v.v~

Erm, well that's enough drama, see ya later! :3

I don't want to sound like a fucking crazy bitch but I'm gonna do it one more time. Guys. Are you serious about that stupid thing I decided to make on "draw ths again meme"?

No, really, because if it's some kind of joke I'll tell you it's not funny at all. Thing is: there's no big deal about that shit, there IS NO huge improvement, and I know it - but that's not exactly the point. One is supposed to be better than the other, right? And if they're not even supposed to be at least equal in quality, then I'll just shot my own head right now.

I just don't think I'm stuck in the same shitty style for years for I can see some difference between them, the little as it may be. So, how can you keep saying the older is better in ANY way?

Though, you keep saying it. What is your problem!? Are you fucking blind!? Of course, if you really think I'm this crappy as an artist and that was my fault, you have the right to think so.

But do you know like does it sound to me? Sounds like all of those  years I've been laying down upon a piece of paper to keep developing my drawing, studying anatomy, style and coloring haven't worth a THING because you ~prefer~ that crap!

Maybe I should save my efforts and just get back at drawing terrible squared, non-proportional, 2 rough colors like coloring style, anime-weird-nosed things.

Lucky me I don't have to care about improving anymore. I could just sit my ass over here and draw awefully and you'd love it anyway. Right? Uhum. Thumbs up for that.

Happy New Year everyone!

I know I'm late, but I already noticed that I'll always be like 15 minute late for the rest of my life in every way (not that I didn't know that has passed 2 days since december 31st ) v_v ~

Just let the past be gone and look foward. Be thankful for your family, for your and friends and everything that keep you alive!
I wish from the bottom of my heart that this year be a better year for us all.



But hey.
Now just tell me: when you have an artblock, what do you guys usually do? I'm passing through some difficult times here. @_@~
I have stuffs to do, and things of my own that I wanted to draw but I simply can't. It's not like I do not WANT - I really do, but when I try it looks terribly and I get sick just to look at the sketch ;_; what's going on!?

Any kind of tips are pretty much welcome ._. v


Hm... thats' all; hugs to ya'll!

So, yep, I'm alive lol and here's just a quick update for commissioners: I have almost all commissions sketched, and I'm gonna ink'em all at the same time just to color it later and make it fair to everybody, so no one should wait too much between one upload and another. I'm late 'cause I got my notebook kidnaped by my dad a few times >_> he did a knee surgery and well, he got home for a week, using my pc of course u.u~ and then again at work, once he was able to do so. Thank you dad. T_T

Hmmm so that's it!
