Choose Your Own Romance - On Hiatus

Choose Your Own Romance, is a comic project with the Choose Your Own Adventure aspect, where at certain points readers will get to choose what happens next!

I started this project couple of years ago on a whim, I wasn't really too serious, I was trying to pull myself out of an art slump. That quickly changed around the 4th or so page where the art became cleaner and everything became more refined overall.

Project is on Hiatus

Someday My Prince Will Come - As of 10/23/11

Someday My Prince Will Come is a silly and quirky fan fiction starring Yamigirl21's OC, Teana.

The day starts off as mundane and monotonous as any other until a thief steals something precious and Teana pursues them only to suddenly find herself in another world, unsure if it's just that or a dream. There a plot unfolds that pits her heart and mind against one another whether to become involved or to simply go back to the Prince she feels she's left behind.

This is an ongoing project that I will post chapters for when I can.

Chapter II - In Progress

Chapter I - Posted

Journal Entry: Mon May 21, 2012, 7:03 AM

Hello everyone!

I hope this finds you all in good health and good times. As for me, the last few months have been rough, but the last few weeks in particular haven't treated me too kindly but I'm bouncing back relatively well. A few weeks ago my dad suddenly passed away of a massive heart attack; he'd moved to include five or so years ago and it was probably a year or so before that that I last saw him. We weren't on bad terms, but there were some unresolved things between us which I think made his passing even harder. I also thought we had time to work through it, after all, he was young, he was only going to be 56 this year. I guess what comforts me is that while there was that weirdness, we weren't on bad terms, we still spoke every now and then but there was the whole elephant in the room so to speak. It was also a wake up call health wise for me, I've struggled a bit with high cholesterol for a couple of years, though it is definitely of my own doing, I'm not gonna play like I have no clue lol - but this makes me paranoid, sure, I'm still young, I'm only gonna be 31 this year, but it's not like it's impossible for me to have a heart attack to, especially if I'm not taking care of myself. I often don't feel to well, always seem tired and what not, so the coming months I'm going to do my best to concentrate on that. For me, when some bad happens, it always seems to come in threes... I know that's just a saying and superstition really and normally I don't believe in such things, but oddly enough it usually seems that way for me. The same day I heard from my mother that my dad passed away my poor 16 year old cat, Diana, became severly dehydrated and to make a long story short she almost died. She has diabetes so I thought she was going into shock, but it was other meds she was taking that caused that and it was pretty horrible. Lastly, the end of the prior week I found out I was having an ectopic pregnancy. For those of you not sure what that is, it means that I was pregnant but the baby was growing some where outside of my uterus. So, I had to also start injections before the end of the doctor's visit to dissolve the pregnancy. So yeah, it's hard to believe that I kept it relatively together through all of that. I'd been waiting a full year to get pregnant again going through a lot of fertility treatments and then I became a statistic with the ectopic since they aren't common and supposedly only happen to 1-2% of women.

Having said all of that, it hasn't all been bad, I've done my best to stay as positive as possible even when I felt at my lowest. I have friends and family to thank, but especially my husband and my best friend Kathie Soto (aka Yamigirl21 thanks sis!) Their support really helped me through and I'll be forever grateful

Needless to say, I haven't work on much art, I guess I'm not the type of artist that can use my negative emotions to produce artwork :/ Those people are cool, when they can cry or rage and make awesome pieces of art. Ah well. But I do have a celebrity portrait that I'm working on... I've been working on it for a couple of weeks on/off just trying to keep my pencil on paper moving since I already feel bad that I all but stopped artwork otherwise.

Another thing I'm really excited for is an early birthday present that is scheduled to arrive today, a brand new large Intuos 5 tablet xD !!! I can't wait! My wacom graphire tablet has been a stalwart friend for the last 5 or so years... but it appears to have kicked the proverbial bucket in the last couple of weeks. It hung on, even know I can still move the cursor with the pen, but it's decided that there is pressure being applied even when there isn't lol xD So, goodbye old friend.... ironically the image underneath the cover reads "Mean People Suck"... it's almost like it's telling me something lol

Like I said, I am excited to get my new tablet and in the coming months there are plans in motion to buy a new monitor and build a new computer. I kind of need it for the video game project I'm working on. My computer doesn't seem to like the big files I have to work with... blue screen of death...do not want! Dx I hope to post that celeb pencil portrait soon as well as some other things. But I'm not too sure yet, I'll of course keep you guys posted! Oh and as a side note, I plan on trying to spruce up my page and gallery in the coming weeks. How the heck do you customize gallery folders? I'm so out of the loop. I also need to find out how to make a custom journal skin. That would be cool.

Lastly, I just finished the DS game Ghost Trick which I HIGHLY recommend, it was a really fun and great game! Really, one of the better ones I've played in a long time, it's really engaging right from the get go. I love all the twists and turns. I've heard that there have been bad reviews due to the ending, while I can kinda see where it comes from, I really don't understand why some people be hatin'! I won't spoil anything for those of you who haven't played it. If you'd like to comment and chat about it please make sure you put in big letters "SPOILERS" just in case.

Oh, and lastly lastly... lol... recently, I've been hearing about more and more people not liking people to thank them for faving artwork or watching them.... what is up with that? I'm not saying it's bad or wrong to not want to be thanked...but why is it such a big deal? Is it really hard to ignore it? I've heard and seen some people who even post such on their main page to not thank them. I don't get it. The only reason I don't thank everyone is mainly due to laziness (Hey, just being honest!) and the fact that I don't come to DA very often and I usually wind up creating a journal to thank everyone. I'm just trying to understand what this growing trend is all about. I've heard that some people consider it spam... but that sounds kind of ungrateful in a way. I mean, if I was at an artist alley for instance and I bought someones art or even just stopped by to say "Hey, cool art!" and they said thank you, I wouldn't be upset. I realize that's different than online, but it's the same kind of principal. I wouldn't consider myself a popular artist by any means so I try to thank everyone that faves or watches me (If I haven't yet .... sorry...and thanks!). Also, I'm not sure if these people that don't like to be thanked realize that some people don't always have time to read their profile and they just want to say thanks real quick. I mean, if I thank someone, that often times means that I've gone and looked at their gallery too because I like to return the kindness. Sometimes I just don't have the time. Also, the couple of pages I've seen with the "please don't thank me for faves" bit are usually in pretty small wording after paragraphs of text... so yeah tl:dr maybe? I kind of feel like if you don't want to be thanked then maybe you shouldn't fave or watch people or at least have a widget just above your comments section in big bold letters where people can clearly see your message. I'm sure you'll still get thanks every now and then... I don't know though, for me it's just kind of annoying to have to read every single page to make sure it's okay that I can be nice to them. That's how that comes across. It's like saying "I'm so popular and get tons of messages and I'm tired of people showing their appreciation by spamming me with all these kind words of thanks" That really sounds ridiculous, but that's how it comes across. I don't know, I've never had anyone tell me that they don't like to be thanked, but I see it happening to other artist friends more and more so I thought I'd bring it up and see what you guys think.

Ironically, this journal is probably tl:dr for most people lol

I have to run, so until next time all, take care!
