So, WhiteDove :iconwhitedove-creations:, and awesome My Little Pony plushie maker here on DA is doing a give away, raffle style. She's going to be giving away a Winter Wrap-up style Twilight Sparkle.

Ever since I visited my niece last and showed her some of WhiteDove's work she's wanted one, in the way that any toddler or preschooler would want their favorite characters. So I think if I lucked out and some how won it, I might give it to my niece for either her birthday or Christmas. I know for older collectors they might call me nuts to do that but I it would be something I'd know she'd love though she might ask me where Twilight's wings are.

Either way, this journal was in part to mention the little story and also a part of the rules of entering this contest. Best of luck to all in it, and an awesome thing for you to have done WhiteDove.

So I haven't done much recently... at least on here. However in real life I'm still sketching any time I get the chance. Recently I finally broke down and started watching My Little Pony: FiM and like many others found a liking to it. Not a hard thing to do as, once again, many found out themselves, but not so surprising to me in that I do remember playing with some of the original ponies when I was much younger. With the new series it got me into trying to draw some, or to be exact a few of my own (as of yet to be posted).

Thanks to a fellow DA artist/friend's journal I got wind of a contest/raffle going on for Pony Plushies by White-Dove AKA: :iconwhitedove-creations: If you're a fan of My Little Pony: FiM you really should go over and take a look at her work, some of the best ponies I've seen mirroring the look/style of the ponies from the show.

So comes the point of this journal, I'm trying to enter the contest (about two days before it's supposed to end). I'm wishing everybody luck on this, I may want one but there are many others who are worthy of it; I'm still new to the fandom.

But if you want to enter as well, you'll want to take a look at the rules: whitedove-creations.deviantart…

I hope to post some sketches of my characters soon, but need to get motivated for it... plus harden my mentality for one of the characters as I know he'll not be liked by many for what he truly is. Makes me wonder if I'll ever get their stories written.

Now off to bed with me, I have work in less than 8 hours. ;P

Art Weekend

2 min read
So today, or to be more exact last night, I was thinking about getting that Adobe Photoshop that I want and it occurred to me: "I'm still a college student, maybe the computer store has it for sale there at a cheaper price." Fast forward to 5-6 hours ago, I found they did and not only that it was a few different programs of Adobe graphic stuff ( including Photoshop CS5), all for under $200 before adding the tax. Keep this in mind, the program is worth $699 on Adobe's website, makes it reeeeeeal good to be a college student and for them to have a computer store through your university.

Thus this weekend, pending World of Warcraft runs, I expect to upload this to my computer and start working on pieces that have been bugging me from anywhere from a few days to a few years (5 years if you consider my trade with :iconaquan:)... and playing around with the new stuff. How much time I spend on that will depend on if my roomie goes to her home town for the weekend or not as she activated a World of Warcraft account for herself and now we're riding around together under the recruit a friend program :D

I'll get in some art in celebration no matter what I'm sure....

I better, I'll only have so much more time and then classes start up again two weeks from this coming Monday. Things go right this will be my last year at this university. Both excited and nervous about that.

I seriously need to do it. My only problem since I got my computer back and working (hard drive died on me so it wouldn't boot, thank god for extended warranties).

I usually use Adobe Photoshop to work on any digital art I do however I realize that my version is way far behind (7.0) and plus it can't be updated because I believe my dad has the original copy on his computer and registered it to that.

So in the next 36+ hours I believe I will be picking up Adobe Photoshop CS5 (hopefully).

I've got so many things I'd like to work on again not to mention the over 5 year old trade I have to finish with :iconaquan:. I have it sketched, I just don't want to scan it until Photoshop is once again on this computer.

On a random note, the final Harry Potter movie. Go see it, it is AWESOME! I think I plan to see it again this weekend if I can... I know I will at least watch it a second time in theaters, and if that's not in 3D I will watch it for a 3rd time just to see it in 3D..... AWESOME!!!!!

EDIT> Check that, not sure if I should go for the expensive CS5 or the cheaper (1/7 the price) Elements 9. My last version is Adobe Photoshop 7 and I know I didn't use that to the fullest.

Anybody who might have an opinion on this speak up, I'd like to hear what you might think my style might do better with at this time. I will note that I seem to have never played with the Elements line of Adobe Photoshop but Adobe Photoshop 7 seems to be in the CS line... just 8 years older >_<

Help a girl out in the next 12 hours.

Seriously one of the most irritating thing to happen the week before Finals. My main computer contracted something, not sure what as my virus checker didn't catch it so it's probably some malware... but either way I need to take my main computer in for a "check-up." It's a good thing that about a year ago I purchased this laptop thinking it would help me in. Either way though it means that even if I had any art I wanted to do at this time (which actually I do but haven't gotten to) I am not able to post it as I don't have Photoshop uploaded to my laptop, nor my tablet.

Anyway, thought I'd mention it at this time. Bad thing is that because my main computer is a desk top. I have to wait for my parents to come visit/come help me move a week from Monday. Though I have to figure out if my warranty is still in effect, it tells if I go to Best Buy or to my  university to get it fixed... not sure what else to say... other than Monday May 9th can't come soon enough.
