Since you ought to have seen my avatars (if not, look to the left of this entry? See the thing looking like an ele? It's meh!), you should recognize me in combination with my character's name.

Say, it's not possible for other people to see Wintesday entries that didn't make it, is it? Because one of the honorable mentions resembles my entry from last year. A "yup, you're just being paranoid" and a pat on the shoulder would be great.





Edit: Ahh, should have noticed the party stuffs!!! /facepalm

I'm not sure if I can make it, but I'll try to make it. I'll probably be the only one there who people don't recognize, but if I do show up, it'll be with the character in my avatar (Cha Cha).

@Satomz, I'm gunna go with "yeah your paranoid -pat on the back".
I was going to do something rather similar to both of these this year (before I changed mediums) but decided against it. I think its just the fact that because the wintersday event takes place in both cities (EotN and LA), and nicholas the traveller... well travels and gives off a holiday gift-giving vibe, the concept would be relatively repeated.
So it's likely just coincidental ^^

@Death By An Arrow: Thanks! I had a feeling I was just being paranoid. It's just sometimes it's hard to tell if I'm really being paranoid or not, so I figured it'd be best to ask someone else (that one never goes wrong).

@Verene: Yeah I get what you're saying. I have looked around at some of the other commission threads and I am seeing some good examples. The tier that you explained makes a lot of sense. I'm guessing that prices can be negotiated and worked out between each different costumer as well, like say someone wants to pay in ecto for lack of money or something of the likes, etc.

Really? Tips sound nice XD
Well I should probably have the thread made up sometime this week, hopefully, if I get the time to do so.
Thanks for all the advice Verene

@Arghore: I think that I may be the only person here who is totally clueless about this online channel where music and announcements will be played... heh, is there possibly a link that I can have so I can save it for when the party comes up, so that I can listen as well?
~~ And alright good, I'm not the greatest when it comes down to converting time-zones, glad I got it right
I'm not sure exactly when I will show up but I am sure that I will be showing up at some point.
International D1 sounds good to me.

@Perynne: That pricing seems reasonable. Thing is that I do most of my art in pencil; does shading and texture composition with pencils count as sort of "fully detailed and colored" though, without color? Like say, a portrait like this: http://nemesis-of-the-gods.deviantar...lery/#/d32wbvf
Yeah you have a point. I guess I will just have to open up the thread and see how it goes from there. Maybe I should do like an estimated price range chart, but not a set-determined one, since value can change over time. Like a base price, yeah I like that idea. Alrighty, that's good to hear. Thanks so much for all the help and advice too, Perynne, I appreciate it a lot.

Thank You, I'm glad that you guys like my drawing(s) ♥

I will probably end up opening a commission thread next week or so, since I am having to put my dog down today... I've had him for 13 years and sadly it's his time. I don't want him to suffer in pain just to keep him alive longer. I just need to relax and take care of my homework for this week/weekend and get it off my mind; but I WILL still be attending the party on Saturday, wouldn't miss it. (Is it alright if I drag my boyfriend with me, since I'll be at his house? )
And I will still open a commission thread, I'm just not up to creating it with the cheery mood that I want to, today or tomorrow and Friday I will be busy.
Also, I have read my private messages, to those who have sent them to me. I just haven't had the time to reply to them yet, since I was at the Vet all day yesterday with my dog.

Sorry to totally ruin the mood here on the happy thread, just thought I'd let you guys know what was up.

p.s. Flying Ninja, that name made me chuckle; blue screens are full of doom

Aw, putting down a beloved pet is always difficult. Take your time, and no hurry with the commission thread - we're not here to pressure you into doing anything, you should always do things at your own pace and when you're ready.

I think it'll be fine if you drag along your boyfriend. The more the merrier!

Oh, Nemesis, I'm sorry Take your time on the commission thread, no one's in any rush, and I definitely understand how that feels far too well.

And yes, it's definitely okay for you to bring your boyfriend to the party. I'm making mine come - I just ran him to ITC a few minutes ago in fact.

(and in case anyone needs a run there from LA or Beacon's let me know and I can get you there pretty quickly. Assuming I don't go the wrong way like I did in North Kryta Province somehow XD)

Nemesis, I am so sorry about your dog.

Don't worry about commissions until and unless you feel like it

So sorry to hear about the loss of your dog. But it sounds like you put him above your own feelings and thats a great thing to do. I'm sure he had a beautiful life with you.

And please edit your previous post and remove the apologies, because there is really no need for them! Feel better soon

Sooo looks like I will not be at the party as long as I'd like to, since I got called into work that afternoon.

(long story short, I damn well better be getting promoted after all of this)

But I still will be there a decent portion of the day, I just have to leave by about 3:30 CST

I'll be at the party a little late, from 13:00 GMT onwards. Got some irl stuff to take care of before that, but if I can catch the right bus home I might even get online a little earlier.

Eep, that's early, 12:00 GMT is 6:00am here XD Depending on how wiped out I am and how long I sleep I probably won't be on until towards the end of that time window. I'll just have to make sure to check the thread soon as I get up, then.

Thank you everyone for your kind regards. It means a lot to me that you all care. Also, Minami my mom has the Rainbow Bridge poem taped to our cupboard in our kitchen, it's both sad and happy. -Yeah I found out that I have finals next week also, so while it will be delayed, just letting you guys know that I will still hold commissions, just might be a few weeks before doing so with so much going on right now in real life.

And I will still be at the party tomorrow, I cannot wait to go! Just the thing is that I fear that I won't be able to be there when you are all holding the announcements of winners and trivia and what-else, because that is 4:00 a.m. my time, and I haven't gotten good rest in a couple of days so I need to sleep in. I may show up around 10-12:00 a.m. PST will everyone still be at the party? I sure hope so, cause 4 a.m. is early

PS Ninja, that is pretty funny. Girl fell on her butt cause it was so sour XD

Congratulations everyone, amazing job!!

Because Thistle had the only finished entry and because she is very helpful and nice to everyone, she's going to grab all the prizes in the Literature category

Tzu and me figured that for extra costume code from the Lit category, she'll enter the names of the people who finished their entries and who didn't win anything yet into a random name selector, and that person will get the code.

The winner of that drawing was Sentient! Congrats!
