Hi everyone! It's been a looong time since I've been properly active in the art community... and to be honest, I'm not sure who I used to speak to are still around frequently. It's also been increasingly hard to make time for art as time has gone on, and it's been a series of "I'll become active next month- no next month" and so forth. And for that, years have gone by :(


Not only have I developed a bit of an aversion for posting, but I've also stopped interacting with fellow artists and being exposed to so much amazing art around me. Perhaps this is age too, but I feel like I'm no longer as creative as I used to be.


Which leads me to why I'm making this journal. I really want to kickstart where I left off, perhaps not in the sense of regularly posting but at least just being around more often and being more connected with fellow artists. I also miss drawing different characters, which leads me to say - my requests are open! Please leave a character down below, and I shall do my best to whip up a little something ^_^ I'd also love to know your thoughts and about your art journey too - what do you do when you get an art block, and where else are you active outside of dA? EDIT: Hi everyone - I've decided to close requests for the time being, please stay tuned as I will likely reopen them at a later point. (I will finish the ones I agreed to do though!)

Hey guys <3 Hope you're all doing well.

Just wanted to say, thank you so much everyone for all those lovely b'day wishes, that really made my day :love:
Also a special mention to :icondolcedove:, :iconpuromisu: :iconvnah: and :iconcaipryss: for the beautiful presents! :iconasdfghplz: You guys are awesome, and thank you very much!! <3

Exams begin tomorrow (wish it started on a Monday or something..) soo I will probably be away for the next two weeks. Ofc me being so addicted to internetting, I will probably come on at least once a day, but I may not reply to stuffs and what not.
Ironically this week, which was supposed to be used for studying, I spent doing even more procrastination than I usually do :iconmingcryplz:
If any of you people see me on, PLS PUNCH ME

Thanks for reading,
Melmee ♥

Hey everyone! Hope you're doing well, and Happy New Year! Here's hoping 2014 will be a good one. I hear 2013 was very mediocre for many people, and personally it's been average for me. I'm thankful to some things, like doing well in my end of year exams and getting a DD (fjkdl;ajksf I love you ValaSedai), though moving houses and adjusting to a different environment has often been challenging.

So, how was 2013 for you guys, and out of curiosity, what are your resolutions, if any? :)

On another note, I noticed that on my parent's computer, the things I've drawn look unacceptably saturated, like my most recent deviation :iconlazepoolplz: That pink on my OC could blind people! But it looks absolutely fine on my own laptop, and my brother's as well, so I wanted to ask what you guys see?

ok, firstly, I want to apologise because this is one of the most overdone journals these days :iconpapmingplz:
But I just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone for their happy birthday wishes and I was so honoured and happy to receive some gifts too :iconmahfeelzplz:

You guys are just so sweet, aah I don't know what I'd do without you guys ♥♥ admittedly I would've had probably a lonely Saturday night, though don't get me wrong, foreveralone isn't always so bad :iconforeveraloneplz: //shotshotshot
though that's a bit of a lie actually. I spent the night with family eating cake :love:
ANYWAYS

Hnn SO what's next- I wanted to feature all the pretty art I received, from their respective awesome owners (WHO I LOVE VERY MUCH, YOU GUYS ARE TOO WONDERFUL)
In the order I received them: (well, they should be anyways)

please tell me if I forgot to feature your picture, but I will shit bricks if that happens
ON ANOTHER NOTE I just wanted to say, GOSH DAMMIT YOU GUYS STOP BEING SO MODEST ABOUT YOUR ART- it makes me really sad that you think your prezzie might look ugly, but no!! No present is unworthy, I am just honoured beyond words that you would even invest time out of your busy lives to do that for me!! So don't say it looks bad, there is no such thing as a bad present! :iconaawplz: butthatasidenoonehasbadart
