Sorry that I haven't been active lately. I haven't checked messages either....well, actually, to be honest I don't visit dA much anymore now. I'm more active at twitter (maybe too active), and maybe tumblr, although much less so. I post sketches often on both places.

I'm now completely free though, so I want to submit more finished artworks. I hope it will be worthy to look forward to. I'll try to comment more too (I kept saying that but haven't been very successful...I'm sorry).

But I guess I'm gonna update a bit about what's going on lately too?
I'm going to be a student at LASALLE College of Arts soon this year, taking Diploma in Animation. Wish me luck. Is there anyone of you going there/already there? I'd love to know you. :)
I've just finished my application for scholarship, and I'm waiting for the results right now. I'll just hope for the best *crosses fingers*.

Well..I think that's all, haha! How are you guys?

Hello!

This journal is for you cosplayers/singers/photographers/dancers/sportspeople who are still in junior/senior high school at Jakarta!

My school, Penabur International Tanjung Duren is having a cup (named '8TERNITY'), with the theme 'Kaleidoscope' soon. It has the following competitions:
:bulletred:Cosplay
:bulletred:Photography
:bulletred:Dancing
:bulletred:Basketball
:bulletred:Futsal
:bulletred:Singing
The event will be held on 14-19 January, and the registration deadline is on 11 January, along with the technical meeting!
I'm....I'm sorry, I know this is quite late. I've only thought of writing this here now. But if you're interested, you can go to the twitter page for more info. The contact info is on the favourites!

Other than competitions, there will be a bazaar and students' art exhibition too (which also features my works! ashdfdh)
The closing night, which is on the 19th, will feature Saykoji and other great bands, along with student performances. :)

If you have any friend who have interest in this stuff, please do promote too!

Thank you for your attention!:thanks:

So um
Hi!

Sorry I haven't been active. I've finished my IGCSE exams, but now I have to work on portfolio for application to LASALLE@SG. I'm planning on taking diploma in animation. Wish me luck sobs

So um, I just want to ask too, is there any of you who are there/used to be there/planning to go there too? I want to ask for some advice for building the portfolio. And if you're currently applying, maybe we can get to know each other or something. :D Even better if you're Indonesian! ;v;

It's just....I'm afraid if my portfolio can't keep up with its standards.

But yeah, that's it! Sorry for bothering. Thank you for your attention :)

Thank you for the wishes!! :> /hugs everyone
Sorry for not being productive lately. Artblock+school. Sob.

Now let me ramble for a while.

At first I was going to spend my birthday quietly. I didn't really expect anyone to remember (except my family I guess, especially :iconrozenfroze: since it's impossible to forget our birthdays??), or do something for me. I mean, it's just my birthday. No big deal. I just hoped my IGCSE speaking test would go well, and maybe do some reflections and wishes later at home and stuff like that.

But it turned out that I underestimated my friends. They didn't only make a small surprise party (though they failed in the 'surprise' part HAHAHA <3) but also

they bought me....a set of Copic markers.......................................

I was kind of overwhelmed by joy+gratitude+love+guilt because it was just amazing and unexpected and I just feel bad because I've never done something special for them before???
I've always been surrounded by wonderful people. It's not only my classmates in senior high school...My friends in elementary+junior also always did this kind of thing. I just feel so...loved. And I really don't deserve all this.

I was actually kind of troubled because of that. Did a bit of self loathing haha. But I guess now I can just strive to be a better person, and to take care of myself and others better. :)

Other than that, this year has been a wonderful year, and I've learned a lot. It was really significant to my development I guess??? Both skills and character. So many things happened, and I'm grateful to God for that. He's always there for me, and the way He has guided me and directed my life all this time amazes me.


tl;dr Thanks again!!! This birthday is a great one. :D

Happy 67th, Indonesia. :>

Let's hope for the best for years to come.

It's been a long time since my last journal! Umm how are you?? Anything to share?

I'm sorry I'm not a very active deviant. I wouldn't be surprised if no one actually cares about this anymore!
But I'm trying to be active on this holiday and be more serious about art as you can see from my submissions lately, and hopefully it will last. I've been trying to comment more and stuff too. Thank you for you who stick around.
I will finish drawings I owe and make more samples for my points commission (which is here and open, by the way!) too and have more options for it within this month. Within this week, even, if possible. I'll force myself into working this time.

By the way, I went to Popcon Asia! I could only go yesterday night though unfortunately, and there wasn't much going on there anymore. But I was still glad I came! I saw many great Indonesian dA artists I admire like :icontransbonja:,  :iconscarlet-dragonchild:, etc.(although only from afar because I was too shy sob).
I wanted to visit other booths like :iconryuuka-nagare: and her friends and join the comic workshops, but they weren't there anymore and the workshops were on Saturday. : ((( I hope I can fully enjoy other cons in Jakarta next time.

Again, thank you for being patient with me. I feel really bad.

edit: Adding chibi option. I'll put up an example soon!

So yeah, I want to try doing point commissions! This is my first time HELP
I want to use Paypal as well, but I've been having a problem with the verification thing. The code didn't appear on the credit card statement....I've tried several times, but it still didn't show up. Can somebody help me?

Um so

:bulletred:CG coloured
It would be a bit quick...something like this, or this, perhaps. And there would be some simple background like, colours and ornamental scribblings kind of thing.

Full body 50:points:
Waist-up 40:points:
Bust-up 30:points:
Chibi 25:points:

:bulletred:Sketch
It would be something like this! [link]
(No full body because I'm usually not that motivated on doing sketches haha..ha...)

Waist-up 20:points:
Bust-up 10:points:
Chibi 5:points:

Add character: half of the price (max 3 charas for now!)

Some rules:
:bulletred:No mature stuff
:bulletred:Het pairings only, sorry.
:bulletred:No mecha/robotics/all that stuff since I really can't ensure the quality of the outcome. D8

QUALITY PRICING.
But seriously though I suck at pricing. It would help a lot if you can give suggestions. Please tell me if it's too expensive/cheap/the price difference between styles should be like this or that etc etc

Feel free to tell me if you want another kind of style or if you want to negotiate on price!

Rules:

1. For each of the 20 18 first people answering this journal, I will put their avatar and the three four BECAUSE I'M BAD AT CHOOSING deviations I like most from their gallery on the list!

2. If you answer, you have to do the same in your journal, putting the tagger on the first place. The idea of this is not to get a free feature, it is to spread art around for everyone!

Happy New Year everyone!

Wish you all the best of luck for years to come! I hope 2012 will be a good year. :>

I'm going to Bandung again tomorrow.....until 3 Jan. Short but I hope it'll be fun! I didn't do much in my last visit.

ALSO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO JAN 19TH



Oh by the way.....can you help me? I'm once again thinking of trying opening commissions.
Do you think I'm good enough? And how much do you think the prices should be?
If I do open it I think I'll open points/subs commission, but I'll open for PayPal too after I manage to figure out how to use it (I've made an account but I still haven't uh...I forgot what it was. authorized? confirmed? yeah, something like that.)
