So I am finally changing my net service. I am upgrading ^_^ I really need it to. I just finished 20 pages of parasomnia twins the manga version, only problem is, I am at the limit for my usage and can't post it... like anywhere. So either in three weeks or when I get a change in service I will be posting alot of manga pages to MB. I'll leave links everywhere.

Now for the great news. I managed to pay off my car!! It's amazing. It is fully paid of and registered. Problem, I need yet another $500 to fix the stupid thing -______- oh well. You can't win em all. Eventually PT will be uploaded to lulu.com and avilable as a book and as an ebook. I am thinking of making some bookmarks as well ^_^

well that's pretty much all until I get my net back and running properly again T^T I will miss u all while I am gone.

Well, my screentones are missing, my photoshop doesn't work, I can't watermark and I have an art thief stalking me. Great, just great. As soon as I offer to help out someone with their webcomic this pops up. Omg seriously don't need this right now. It has really pissed me rtfo honestly. I want Manga Studio EX soooooo bad! It would make all my troubles just melt away T^T It's ok though. Everything will eventually work out. Soon I want to get a newer tablet. But it's a matter of affording one. Though the one I have is still awsome it just screws up with photoshop alot though alot of people say it's photoshops fault.

All that aside, I have been working on some written stuff and have updated my story on text novel ^_^ it's called parasomnia twins and if my net weren't being such a jerk I would link but yeah....

I'd get one but I know no-one would follow me XD I know I suck. So maybe occasionally I'll dump some sketches on here <3

Ta-dah, your personality type is INFP!

Introverted (I) 79%	Extraverted (E) 21%
Intuitive (N) 77%	Sensing (S) 23%
Feeling (F) 60%	Thinking (T) 40%
Perceiving (P) 68%	Judging (J) 32%

that's copy and pasted. I took a personality test and wiki is a little more on the ball with the description. It was fun.... sort of lol.

I made some not very good banners and ad thingies today lol. But that aside, I have finally FINALLY gotten my style to settle down. I had to restart my manga Parasomnia Twins so many times it's ridiculous. I already started on the cover art for it. Now all I really need is my own unique logo. I was thinking of asking someone else since I have no idea about any of it. If you want to see all my tid bits of PT then visit my DA page. I have it all in it's own gallery ^_^

More stuff later. Sorry for the shortness but I need to get ready for a scary movie night ^_^ ttyl everyone

I am selling ad space on ProjectWonderful starting at $0.01 and yes for real. PW is the most affordable net advertising and it has great results. I've spent 14 cents and had my ad viewed over 10,000 times and in the end I spent less then $1 and got my ad viewed over 45,000 times. It really turns over big results.

Check it out and click on it here at http://www.draconianrain.net/

I am selling some ad space to make a few spare dollars since I am pretty broke and strapped for cash. I need to get a new sub on MB, soon DA and to buy a surprise sub as a gift for some special people on MB. Plus I need the money for more art resources but mostly I need it for bills. A while ago I thought I was ok to pay for my car but I was wrong. It will be costing me over $500 for registration and I need to get my CV box fixed. It's cracked and god only knows how much that will cost. I did have the money but spent it on house bills -____- and a certain jerk face left us with an electric bill over $500 D:< but enough about that.

Project Wonderful is great for many reasons. I have used it to advertise my blogs, personal websites, zazzle store, etsy store and various others for $5 and only spent a couple of cents to have thousands upon thousands of views. Wow just wow. And only in a couple of hours to. It really does pay to advertise. Anyway point to all the PW is awsome awsome awsome! I just had to say it. It totally rules!

Oh man where to start. Well earlier in the week I got some pretty awful news. Some people know about it and I got a lot of positive support. Thanks to everyone for their kinds words <3 I really appreciate all your efforts. I have been busy doing lots of stuff. I've been doing up requests and art trades with people ^_^ I also managed to test out the extent of my current CG abilities with a self portrait and I think I am doing pretty damn well for someone with know education on the subject. I also recently updated my site and have some major plans for it. 

Lately I have been doing some editing and adding of ideas to certain manga's and am working with quite a lot of people on several different projects so I have been very busy not that it shows lol. My style is still shifting but in a good way. My current work with drawing men and boys has improved greatly over the last several months. I am almost ready to fully tackle my manga Parasomnia Twins which I put on hold for a very long time because of lack of skill and resources.

I recently had to resort to putting ads on my site but I opted for Project Wonderful because I know I can trust them to not put anything harmful on my site. I am so disappointed in some of the ads google allows to slip by. I want people to feel safe if they choose to visit ads on my site not like they are going to end up on some porno site or one filled with Trojans like you often get with google. I can't stand geocities sites or tripod websites or certain ones hosted from similar sites. They have to be the worst ones. It killed two of my PC's and I had three different anti-viruses running -____- enough of that though this entry isn't suppose to be a rant.

Sorry I've been so slack on my updates but even though I have done a lot there isn't really much to talk about although I did join a couple more sites lol. I joined DailyBooth.com under DraconianRain and I also joined TextNovel.com and FictionPress.com I added the written version of Parasomnia Twins to FictionPress.com and Textnovel.com and so far I got much better results on textnovel.com

I have had numerous people vote for my story on textnovel as well as followers of my story and many favourites. It's the second most positive response I have received. This makes me super happy since I have never before this had positive responses that were honest. I mean yes family and friends will always say, I love it, it's awsome but people seem to be in such wonderment of my art they get scared to crit my writing or it overshadows everything I do. I could be the most horrible person in the world and people would still follow me blindly for the things I create. If my story sucks I want to know but mostly I want to know why it sucks!

On another totally unrelated note, I got a webcam and downloaded ManyCam and omg I am having so much fun. I can actually livestream over MSN to my friends and they can seem me draw from scratch with out any troubles with the program and chat to me at the same time. I don't have to worry about it going slower or anything. I't wonderful. People can sit back and watch me draw on paint tool SAI or chat to me. It's great! I really love playing with ManyCam and it's features.

Well that's about all the blubbering on I can do for now. May make a post later about something. I had something else to talk about but I totally lost my point. Oh well.

Draconian Rain aka Saphira

I made a heap of them on this site twittermysite.com

I love it

I am really enjoying it there. I mean I like fictionpress as well but it seems there is to many people and the only way to get love is to give love. I have nothing against that but all my love aka commenting is spent on manga bullet since it's my main site of choice. Well ramblings aside, for people that like to write, it is worth checking out especially if you are a little starved for some attention. It seems to be pretty friendly there to.

Toot Toot!! Plainning to make some tutorials for my beginner friends. I may even post them here for anyone interested. You never know what you might find out ^___^
I don't really have much else to say although, I will try to post a vid... but I don't think it will work. Also, one more thing, I have been writing from window live writer. It is really handy and I recommend people trying it out.

I have joined up to several sites that teach japanese for free lately in hopes of learning as much as I can. Each site touches on parts of japanese that the other has left out so it is very good. Even better that it is pretty accurate and has actual japanese teachers. I feel very motivated to learn japanese lately. I will get it one day. I am quite egar to learn how to read it lately. With the number of posts done in japanese on an english site ):< and no translation for it (smart move from someone that natively speaks english and is posting to an english site ):< ) has left me quite frustrated. I wish to know more about their piece but I have no idea as to what is being said *sigh*

Well I decided to look for a new co-author/artist. Draconian Dreamer is to big for little ol' me to do on my own. So far I have two candidates and one is already accepted. The other, I will know when they get online again. I am really glad to see people interested in it (you have no idea how glad I am)

On another note White Fang is almost 6yrs old ^______^ Oldest OC I have I think.

http://www.fictionpress.com/~draconianrain check me out some time. Nothing there yet but worth book marking. It's my fiction gallery. I am really loving the site atm because it looks like I can add moderators and create my own community which I am really happy about <3 I will be posting Parasomnia Twins on there and possibly Draconian Dreamer. The first one is worth reading and the second one will be hard to get into since it is better visually than it is written. Both of these are written versions of my manga's that are in progress. I hope some of you will drop by and leave your thoughts. Also I have plans to update my site and add some news <3 check out my site here:
http://www.draconianrain.net/
Don't forget to sign my guestbook and show me some love <3 Also, you don't need to add your email when signing but you can if you want to.

Well I posted my written version of Parasomnia Twins to DA. It is only chapter 1 to almost all of chapter 3. I am currently in the process of writing more then I plan to post that as well. I have made some more art and working on commissions so I am quite the busy little duck lately lol.

My 21st B'day is coming up sooon ^________________^ I am excited <3 wOoT

OH!! I added a guestbook to my site but it is set up so you can leave a comment ^^ go drop a comment there ^^ also, you don't need to put ur email in it, it's optional. Just a username and comment is fine.

Check out my story here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zXwt5Y55ik watch it, my favs song ever <3

Ok well, I have updated my site http://www.draconianrain.net/ and I have to work out how to put in extra pages like for news. I am thinking of ways to improve it. I added a counter but I had to start it at 0 so yeah... there may be some adds put on my page some time.

I am still offering $0.25, $0.50 and $1 commissions, it's long running if you want to both get a cheap commission and donate to a local art community site. Go here for more info <3
