In the Shadow
I haven't posted in this thing for a while now, and I do apologize to anyone who was actually taking the time to read this thing once in a while. I've been really down lately, but no more.
I'm sick of being depressed and unhappy all of the time. So, I've decided that I'm not going to let myself be that way anymore. I'm going to force myself to get up off of my sad, depressed ass, and go do something. I used to be so lively, really. I miss that. And so does my husband; I can tell. Besides, me being in the dumps all of the time is getting to him as well... and when you really think about it, what right to I have to be moping about? There are people who have it worse than I do.
And I will do my best to be happy for them, and for myself.
So, here starts a new regime.
Well, first off, there is Varus. For those of you who don't know, I'm a moderator and Site Artist for Varus Online. And, for the most part, I love my job. I like making awesome items and I adore the rest of the Staff. Recently, we had a base update, and I've been a bit on the lazy side; I've made some new items, but I haven't converted all of my old items yet. I still need to convert the Dark Moon Goddess and Lunar Goddess Set, and then figure out how to make the "God" versions of it. There's the Crusader Set which will obviously be re-done, and I might even add some items to it to add realism to the set. (I'm kind of bitchy about that)
Lastly, there is my Drag Queen dress... which I've made several attempts at doing, but none of them satisfy me. I'm simply not good at pixel art dresses of any kinds! But, I'll make several more attempts, but then I may hand it over to another SA who I think could do better on it (which, in reality, is any of them; I suck). I do plan on doing several things for Varus, though, and I'm pretty excited at the prospect of some of them.
I plan to make sort of a Varus Magazine, which will be made via Corel Draw. It'll work as a newspaper of sorts. I'll see how it'll be posted, and if the Varus members will even like it. In general, I'm eagerly awaiting our main update!
In other news, I'm still working on the layout for the Roleplay blog that I keep up with some of my friends, the Seven Roses Bar. I basically know what I want it to look like, but it'll take a bit of work. There will be character bios and everything. Hopefully, that will done sometime soon, as well.
On Varus, I started a little story because I have nothing to do, The Chronicles of Varus. I've managed to write myself into a corner, but I've mostly got that resolved. I just need to stop being lazy and post. I don't know if I'll illustrate it or not. Perhaps when we're able to trade gold, I can hold an illustrations contest? I think that would be pretty cool. Assuming anyone reads it, at all.
I've also gotten a request from one of my old friends to illustrate a story that I wrote a while ago, and I've been slowly honoring that request; it's being completed via comic form on Deviant Art, but the updates on that thing will be pretty slow. I'm not too great at drawing in general, and I'm actually really having trouble laying out the comic. Layouts are just not my thing at all. But, I've got quite a collection of Manga and western comics to help me learn how to layout my comic, so hopefully it won't be too bad.
That's about it, for now, save my constant worries for my friends. Hopefully, my happiness will rub off on them. They, too, have been unhappy for far too long.
