Introducing my Obsessive Compulsive Disorder... In ART!

     Hey guys. There's been a lot of art on here lately. I hope y'all like it because I have a lot of free time and I will for the next 14 days. Nya-ha. That is two weeks for people who are mathematically challenged like me. :)

     Anyhoo, here's one I did for Julia-san and Ryan-san who are my intersis and interbro. Nya-ha. Love you guys. And I did it because it was fun too! Here you are and comment, happy holidays, yum food;

(( You know the drill; click it for a bigger version, silly!))

Emo Wolf Commish

Hey guys, it's getting kinda late here, so ima gonna make this a quick one. :)
Alrighty, (AGAIN) everybody in my school has been asking me how I draw on the laptop with a very hard application to function with. Acorn is hard too, but it's easier because there are a bunch of different layers you can add, and if you don't like something, you can just erase that layer.
Recently, I have rediscovered that app. Paintbrush. I had used this last year for some art that I had been playing around with and I totally forgot to download it onto my 8th grade iMac until just recently. It's a lot harder to use, but I guess it's more "artsy" because there aren't layers and you aren't allowed to add/change pictures around. You can only draw.
Here is an example of my art with Paintbrush;

((click picture above for larger version in a separate window - also better color quality))

Hopefully I'll be able to draw with a video recorder soon, but right now I'm having some difficulties so I'll post it when a I can.

Happy Holidays Mya-ha

This is a picture that I did with Paintbrush (Not Acorn this time, sorry guys) and it actually turned out pretty good, I'd say! So here you are, comment, happy holidays;

Painting With Crow

No. I did not paint with a crow. But what I did do is paint a picture of my character Crow. Nya-ha, I'm so evil in my artsy little ways. >:D
Well, here y'all are, I appreciate comments. Yesh, me luffs comments! (I kinda screwed up with Crow's hair though, but his human form "Iketsu"s hair is perfectly aweshum poshum! Here you go guys;

Weekend Wittt Raychell Annn and NOT VACATION?!

That's just stupid, don't you guys think so too? I mean, why the heck would a school want to go back for two days (Monday & Tuesday) and then have vacation? I see no point in it! More than half of our school is going to be away in some warmer place already for the holidays, so why must I go back and slave away as my classmates sit in the warm sun of Florida or California or Jamaica or maybe even Aruba!? I don't know, my friends, I don't know.
Also, I'm gonna make a petition for 'NO HOMEWORK' and then force everyone to sign it in my school. I'll take it to the state if I have to! You see, a lot of people's life revolve around this horrible, terrible thing called homework. Yes, homework. So, I thought I'd just make a petition to save those innocent lives from becoming a workaholic! You know, homework causes a lot of stress. Many teenage suicide attempts have been from stress.
So my reasons are perfectly reasonable.
Anyhoo, I spent Friday night with Rachel Anne. My bestest frand. :)

Yes, this Rachel, Nya-ha;

'Kay, love you guys much! See ya later!

Anime Eyes and Choosing Your Colors

Hiya, guys! I made this digital post below and thought that I should show you which colors make good shadows for other colors... And stuff... I don't know, it was just something random I whipped up in mastery. So, yeppers. That's about it, here you are;

Also, if you all havn't noticed yet, my right sidebar isn't fixed still. :(
So help with that would be greatly appreciated! Love you lil' lemon drops! Mwah! :)

Frascle raskins!

Yeah, that's my da's new thing... Yep. But anyhoo, remember that video I was talking to you about? Well, I made it... And I sound like an idiot with my cold but whatever. Here you are (but I must warn ye; the Germans aren't very creative when making a language...Ye has been warned);

Be sure to turn off my playlist before watching, thx!

TEN DAYS

     Yes, 10 days until Christmas. TEN DAYS! I know, I can't believe it either! I'll do the German video when I can cause I didn't want to be an idiot on camera 'cause my mum was home and she would've wanted to be in the video...
     .....So I saved you all from the insane insanity of my mother and quirky-ness. Yep, you should thank me, she's a real nutbasket if you ask me... STILL haven't fixed the right sidebar as you can plainly see. Frankly, I have no clue to what happened there. And still don't. But I jus' wanted to say that to you before I go read more off of FanFiction after my shower so;

Shower Away Guys!

Uh-Oh, I Think It's Backlash...

     I think I may be experimenting a bit too much. Well, you see... The right sidebar has somehow vanished from it's position and has somehow miraculously slid down to the end of my posts. So how am I going to fix this? I. DON'T. KNOW. Well, frankly put that is. Now I am going to go brood about it until some amazing HTML artiste such as Olive Tree or maybe if I am luckyAdori Graphics!
     Yeppers. Also, I'm thinking about making a video about random German things. Yes, I am German. But what I am not is Jewish. It'll just be a quickie and will introduce some regular household items and I will say them with emphasis! :)
     Yep, so I think I'll go paint while thinking about a way to fix this bad situation... DUMMER F'ING COMPUTER! Jus' saying 'dummer' is 'stupid' in German! Yep. I'm that mad.

     ANYHOOs, If anyone could help me with that problem you'd be my favoritest! :D

How to Make a Menu Bar Below Your Header

Hey guys, I've finally figured out how to make a menu bar below my header. I got my cousin to teach me some stuff about editting HTMLs and whatnot, so I think I got this one down. Although, I haven't figured out how to make them like 'buttons' so to speak. For example, on the blog Adori Graphics, she has buttons for her menu bar.
     To tell you the truth, I'm not that far ahead. But I'll have to learn eventually! Here is a tutorial for those of you who want to know how to do this;

1. First of all, you have to go under the LAYOUT view of your blog.
2. Click on EDIT HTML.
3. We are about to change your HTML. This part is really tricky so I'd suggest copying your HTML into some kind of word document before doing this or it could be totally messed up! And then you'd prabably yell at me and that wouldn't be too good now would it?
4.  Now you want to find the place where it says:

5. Change the MAXWIDGETS="1" to MAXWIDGETS="3"
6. Change SHOWADDELEMENT="no" to SHOWADDELEMENT="yes"
7. Okay, now scroll down (this will be near the bottom) until you see this:
 
8. And, again, change SHOWADDELEMENT="no" to SHOWADDELEMENT="yes"
9. Okay, last thing with changin' the HTML. Not lying. Find this code:

10. And then change the SHOWADDELEMENT="no" to... Well.... SHOWADDELEMENT="yes"
11. Preview your changes and if it looks EXACTLY the same as before you changed the HTML, then you DID IT! Hooray for you!
12.  Now you get to press OK! :)
13. Go back into the 'Page Elements' part of your LAYOUT view. There should be two extra bars on there surrounding your header. One on top of your header and one on bottom. If you want to add bottom buttons then click on 'add gadget' and choose 'text'. Then you can link things and VOILA!

A MENU BAR!

Way to go! Now if that doesn't get you your menu bar then I'm afraid you're HTML-challenged and should probably look to see what you did wrong!
'Kay guys, there you go, hope you enjoy your awesomeness or your amazing blogs and suchity such!
Love you tasty lil' lemon drops! :)

My Winter Attire!

     Hey, all! I just wanted to take a swift moment to introduce you to my brand new winter attire!;

Ain't she jus' a beauty? Yep. JC Penny. That's my life story right there...
     Anyhoo, have a good night guys! And remember, I love you tasty little lemon drops!

I'm So Proud! And How to Make Your Art Professional-Like

     I'm so proud you guys! It's a Bird has seen over 100 different faces! That's right, that means that more than 160 different people came to see this blog! -Ahem- Anyhoo -- oo.
     How to make your art professional-like! That's right. I'll be doing a tutorial! My picture I drew (the scene anyways) was taught to me by Louen666, so props go to him. I'll post his version (digital art) on after my tutorial, so look forward to that! Okay, here we go:

So first, what you need to do is sketch your image. Sometimes it's easier to make a plan on what you're going to do ahead of time (or you could just let your imagination take you there ;D )

Then, you need to outline your major parts. You do not want to rush this step. If you feel that you've screwed up, then obviously you won't be satisfied by your final product (for the most part).

Third, you want to go back and erase your pencil marks EXCEPT on places that you are using as guidelines. Those are drawn very lightly with pencil so when you add color they basically vanish or give for an effect outline.

Finally, you color in your product! Sorry I was a bit lazy with this one guys, I didn't exactly color the background anything. I got a bit bored with this so it took me about 6 days to actually color it in!

And here's Louen's product. Remember, he had someone else do the coloring(digitally)! I took this and looked at it (as you can see, I changed some things around because I was too lazy to draw Sasuke's Chidori...)! Here is Louen's:

As you can see, it is a lot better than my own... So please don't compare! (I'd feel bad =,=")

The Red Button

     Do you like pressing big red buttons? So do I. I dare you to press it all the way to the end. It's at the bottom of this blog. >:D Can't do it, can you? Mwahahahaa!
     Anyhoo, it's Friday! Hopefully I'll be posting some art up here in a while if I decide to stop dawdling on here or watching Naruto Shippuden. Lol. Ima nerd. :)
     Oh! I also changed my name to PandyNinja but on the side bar to the left, *Ahem*, this thing:

     Yes, that thing. It still says "About Eskän" and Ima leave it that way, alright? ;) Wow, that pictures old, boy do I need to change it. Well then, I guess I'll be (probably) seeing you tasty lil' lemon drops later (with art...maybe)!

THE BIG RED BUTTON (Can be located here and at the bottom of this blog!:P):

Shaded Wolf Art

     Hey guys, just wanted to show you this before I went to bed! It's for a school project so I'm sorry if the quality is a little... weird. But anywho, here you are:

Stage 1 (line):

Stage 2 (color):

Goodnight!

Snow Day!

     Today is a snow day! Yes, a snow day! I've been so tired lately, especialy since yesterday I didn't bring my bathing suit to gym and had to work out 30 minutes NON-STOP. And when I say non-stop, I very well mean it. There's no exaggeration there. THIRTY minutes of non-stop exercising. And what does that mean? Exactly; pain.
     My back is so stiff today. I definitely will not be going out to explore the icy woods this afternoon. No way. Well, sorry for the lack of posting lately, nothing really exciting going on, except I twisted my wrist and am wearing a temporary "restraint" as I call it.

     Have a nice, snowy day!

GUESS WHAT

     GUESS WHAT. I'm going to Portcon 2010 and I am freaking out! It's in July though, So I have about half a year to save up $80 or so. You see, Portcon is shor for "Portland Convention". Yep. This'll be my first year. Well, next year will be, it's still 2009 of coarse. Anywho, You can dress up as an anime character for the convention. My friend, Ryan, said he wanted to dress up as Grimmjow in Reserection form from Tite Kubo's Bleach. Yes, yes, we all know I have an over obsession with that as well.

     Although, I bet he couldn't pull it off. So I might have to give him twenty bucks if he does for the bet. But! What I wanted to tell you was who I am going to dress up as. The outfit itself is $50 but with accessories it's exactly $74.93. And of coarse there's also tax price added on top of that so it'll be at least a solid $78 total.
     Yes, I'm going to dress up as Karin from Naruto Shippuden. -Insert sighing here- Oh, what a nerd I am ~ ! But anywho, here's a few pics:

This is Karin with Black hair. Of coarse, these aren't her real colors.

Her real colors revealed:

Yes, she had red hair and purple clothing. And because I'm too lazy to right any more and need to go to bed because I actually have school tomorrow (you know what? It snowed today. Wow, just thought I'd tell you all that...), I will fulfill your interests with pictures of Karin and Sasuke. Also, one of the main reasons I wanted to be Karin is because she's always near Sasuke. Fufufuf. I'm so evil. Here you are:

 

 

 

AND THE SHOCKER 0.0:

Love y'all ^w^''!

So....Tired....

     Yep, that's right. Sorry I haven't been posting much lately. It's just been so hectic. In fact, I went shopping today and we didn't even progress any at all! I got ONE shirt in 6 HOURS. That's right. SIX!
     And here is where I fall over in doze.
     Goodnight.
     Art tomorrow.

Hello Rain

     Rain, rain, rain! It's raining outside, no, pouring outside! My front yard has a slight dip and even so, it shouldn't have filled up with water. But it did. So, here I am a bluffering idiot. Anyways,

Rachel: I'm almost done with the drawing of you and Travis. Sorry it's taking so long. With all if that homework and whatnot that we get from school, it's been quite hectic. So I'll have it on here when I finish it (It'll be hopefully tonight), I'll post it on here. It'll take a little longer to get on Sketch (as I've said before), so sorry about how slow it's been.

All my followers: Remember guys, if I don't get any questions ON THIS POST, then I won't be able to do my little "reviews" or by-weekly shows. :( Don't make the rabbit cry, just ask any interesting question! I'll right them all of on a bunch of ripped off papers and stick them in a hat, then I'll pick one randomly. So, again: QUESTIONS ON THIS POST OR NO SHOW! :( Questions please, you wouldn't want to mak the rabbit cry, Would you?

Happy Rabbit-Rabbit Day!

      No, I'm not crazy! Well, yes, but not about this! Every first day of the new month, you're supposed to wake up and say "Happy Rabbit-Rabbit Day!". Yep. It's supposed to give you good luck or something. So that's what I shouted this morning at 5:30 am in the morning when my cat jumped on my face because he wanted attention. Yep. 5:30 in the morning.
      Then my mom came in and tackled on me. That part hurt, but the rest of the day was fine and dandy. Well, that is, if you don't count the load of homework I got dumped on me. I think that dump truck just about suffocated me in those papers I have to write for Social Studies. But I hafta say - I think I broke my back when that math homework was dumped on me with another dump truck.
     Well then, auf Wiedersehen! Ich habe Hausaufgaben, um zu tun! I have homework to do!
