# About me
There's a Japanese legend that says a koi fish is born at the bottom of a river. And that once it's born, it's determined to swim up stream towards the heavens. It's a long, tiring journey filled with twists and turns, fast and slow times, along with obsiticles. The river symbolizes a person's life and the koi represents a person in that life. They are determined to reach their goal in the mountains (or heavens). Many don't make it but the ones that do are then transformed into a dragon. The dragon symbolizes everlasting happiness for finding ones true purpose and desire upon this earth. They have worked hard to get there and are rewarded with a lasting happiness that will remain with them for the rest of their years.I have graduated from Wartburg College as of May 2012 where I majored in Business Management. Currently I'm seeking employement in my area of study though I would love to continue to advance my artistic skills and put them towards may career. Unlikely to happen but one can dream.
Mostly what I'm going for is Sales hopefully revolving around animals but there's a lot of opportunities out there for me to look into.
I'm in the process of writing my own book and starting a graphic novel. The name of the novel I haven't figured out yet but it revolves around the roleplaying that I'm doing with my friend Dusty . Information regarding that will come as soon as I start sketching the comic.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I most do art trades right now, not prints or commissions. Maybe after I get some more classes/training under my belt... lol

I replied to Essia!! For clarification, Chard has teleportation powers now that allow him to teleport through one surface of water to another, so long as the type of water is comparable (salt->salt; fresh->fresh; pool->pool).

That's a handy trick of his. I bet that could be useful later.
But this is exciting!! I'll go reply.

It's all good. Just let me know when you do. I check at least twice a week since I'm working so much. But I always make time to RP with you since we've got such an amazing story thus far. XD

Welcome hon. Sorry, I haven't been on for awhile. Things have been crazy here lately. How was camping?

Crazly In reply to XeclipsesX [2014-11-08 04:43:40 +0000 UTC]
No worries, obviously I'm in the same boat.
Camping was fun, but painful. I'm definitely bringing an air mattress or a pad or something next time.

Yah I hear you. If I would have gone camping about five years, I would have been alright. Sore a little but nothing too bad. Presently, I would be a hurtin mess.
What else has been going on?

School. SO MUCH FUCKIN SCHOOL I CANT EVEN IMA DIE.
I had a midterm yesterday for genetics and one tomorrow for metabolic biochemisty and I've spent 90% of my waking moments during the last 6 days either studying or being in school.
But before that I was re-writing parts of the first 10 chapters of my novel...
You?

Working like crazy and trying to apply for jobs. I was also looking at applying for this dog training class but it doesn't look like its going to work. The program isn't offered in my state sadly.
How did midterms go?

Crazly In reply to XeclipsesX [2014-11-23 00:09:59 +0000 UTC]
Ah man, that stinks x.x
Eh, they were ok. Somehow I skipped over an entire question in my metabolic biochemisty midterm and that was frustrating to find out x.x
I have one more midterm on monday...

XeclipsesX In reply to Crazly [2014-11-27 15:44:49 +0000 UTC]
I bet. Skipping questions on a test is never a good thing. Was it something you knew too?
So after midterms, then what? Are you on a break or what?
Btw, Essia is wondering how Chard's doing.

Crazly In reply to XeclipsesX [2014-12-06 17:21:07 +0000 UTC]
Yes x.x Which drive me even more nuts.
No, I got two days off for Thanksgiving, but that was all. Now I have finals in a couple weeks...
You can tell you I'm sorry!!! I have been doodling his updated design though... which is not all that much different than the old one, but a bit more realistic, seeing as he's a fish...

XeclipsesX In reply to Crazly [2014-12-11 04:05:40 +0000 UTC]
But surely you have time off for Christmas, am I right?? Usually colleges give you, what, two-three weeks off before the new term?!
Btw, I'm kinda writing a new story. I've officially joined the dark side of Fan-Fic. Wish to know more....?!
I'm excited to see his new design!! I should redraw Essia since I have a modified look for her but just can't seem to put pencil to paper. Way too much going on with work and the holidays... it's crazy!!!
I need a VERY long holiday. lol

I have a couple weeks... In which I'm planning for finish at least 3 and a half chapters of my novel, cuz I've not worked on it in a month x.x
Ooooh, I want to hear!!
I think I posted him in it on Tumblr but it's only lineart and of his back... x.x

Yah I need to work on my stories. They are starting to build up again... Opps... lol
Well.. its fan-fic of Elsa and Jack Frost. I don't know why but I kinda like the thought of those two compared to other fan-fic couples I've seen in the past. I've got a story line for them which my boyfriend actually helped me with. I'm good at details, he's good at making the story logical.
And I'll have to take a look. I haven't been on Tumblr in forever tho.. I feel like I'm missing out. lol

Same here x.x
That sounds pretty epic! If you get to writing it, I want to read!!
I'm on Tumblr a lot more than I am over here... I find I'm inspired to draw a lot more over there...

XeclipsesX In reply to Crazly [2014-12-30 01:08:50 +0000 UTC]
Will do. I'm actually going to post the story on here. And I'm tempted to add more characters but not sure yet...

Who are you thinking of adding?

XeclipsesX In reply to Crazly [2015-01-04 00:58:49 +0000 UTC]
I'm not sure yet. I'm still trying to figure that out.
If I did create a character, I'm thinking I'd do a spin-off character. But still unsure yet.

Crazly In reply to XeclipsesX [2015-01-04 02:58:14 +0000 UTC]
Interesting. Do you have an easy way to fit them into the story?

XeclipsesX In reply to Crazly [2015-01-04 03:09:11 +0000 UTC]
I could just slip them into the plot line in the middle somewhere...
But I don't know if I should slip in an old character or create a new one

Crazly In reply to XeclipsesX [2015-01-04 05:11:17 +0000 UTC]
hmmm... I dunno? I guess whatever inspires you the most ^.^
A lot of times I think I'm putting new characters into things, and it turns out that they're just random reincarnations of old characters x.x

XeclipsesX In reply to Crazly [2015-01-06 05:05:24 +0000 UTC]
Actually I think I might just put in Samona since her character fits into the plot almost perfectly. But still debating it.

I feel really bad, but I can't remember her for some reason...?

XeclipsesX In reply to Crazly [2015-01-11 17:46:42 +0000 UTC]
That's ok. I haven't used her in forever. She's usually a background character supporting my Elven characters. She's a unicorn pegasus who can turn into other forms at will.

XeclipsesX In reply to Crazly [2015-01-17 01:43:06 +0000 UTC]
Thanks. I never really have much on her to make her a main character just cause her story is pretty straight forward.

You're welcome hon. Sorry that its taken me so long to reply.
I'm been doing alright. Crazy busy with my job and such but trying to find a new one. And things have been stressful with everything happening in my life. Waiting for it to get easier.
But otherwise things are well. How have you been? I see you post a couple of things every week. Loving the work so far!!

Hope everything gets solved for you soon enough! <3
I've been doing great I think and yeah! I try to post nice things, not as often as before as you can already see.
Now I try to put more hours in to my drawings and because of that, everything goes slower than before, but quiality its better(I think? XD)! Can't really complain! hahaha!
Thank you hooon~<3

It's a lot of work to put more time into a drawing/painting but the reward is worth it.
My work usually takes hours to complete so I'm tempted to try speed drawing but I'm not sure. 30 mins to complete a drawing... I'm so picky about details that it's not even funny.
And I'm hoping life gets fitted into place soon. It's basically become work, sleep, chores, repeat. Need to figure out something to do like a project or something. I have story ideas and drawings that I want to do but don't have the energy it seems like. I'm thinking about getting back into roleplaying to see if that helps with my creativity. You have any ideas?!

Zalagath In reply to XeclipsesX [2014-03-24 10:38:37 +0000 UTC]
Hoo Roleplaying could be a good source of ideas & stories!
I'm in a RP myself, with a few friends and it helps my brain
to keep working everyday! You should keep working with fantasy worlds!
I'd love to see more things about the one you had where the characters had wings ; _ ; (sorry I always
manage to forget the names xD).
RP power!

Its all good. I still need to work on developing that world. I've kinda hit a road block with that one. I know what I want to have happen in the story or at least a general idea but I'm having a hard time with the finer details.
I'm tempted to start a rp with it but idk...
