This Is Why I Need a Job

My number one goal about getting a job, is to raise enough money for this.
The Nikon D3100 DSLR.




This thing is awesome. It shoots stunning photography, video quality, and so So SOOO much more. The camera costs a frightening $699.95 or MORE.
Lol, I need a freaking job!! XD

Anyway, I swear that while I complain about jobs and pine over the D3100 I'm doing something productive. I do so believe in asking artists for their permission to post images (of course if they dont respond in twelve months I assume they have died, as cruel as that sounds).

I just emailed a photographer who's work I am utterly in LOVE with. His work is just breathtaking, and I hope so very much that he lets me use his images. I'm always so scared to receive emails back but I love reading that I have permission from the artists. Not only is it professional to do this but also it makes me feel good about not having to worry about angering those I look up too!!

Seriously though, want to hire me?

"The Sky is The Limit"

Today I heard this quote many, many times. And while I heard this, I remembered another quote by an unremembered human being. "Don't tell me the sky is the limit when there are footprints on the moon."

I personally hate being confined in something. Hate with huge capitol letters, and I even feel trapped sitting where I am now, here at this desk. I have nowhere to go, nothing to do. So if I want to daydream, I can daydream my way to the moon. If I want to visit Pluto one day, then don't tell me the sky is the limit.

So don't see yourself as having only the sky as your limit, because there is only so much sky, you know? Go an put yourself on the moon, or on Mars, or even Pluto!

At least try.

Online Graphic Designers ([Blog #14] 04-27-'11)

There are many freelance graphic designers that would make you custom graphics online. Choosing the right one for your custom design is not such a difficult task as one might think.

Things to remember when requesting or receiving the services of an onilne graphic designer:

1.Request a portfolio.
2. Ask about turnaround time.
3. Be sure that they can deliver the file formats that you need.
4. Ask about pricing and hourly design rates.
5. Ask about methods of payment.
6. Know what you want
7. Provide a proper description, with colour preferences or examples of designs that you like.

It might seem simple, but these are things to consider when you acquire a graphic designer. It may be hard finding one at first but hopefully you can find a trustworthy designer!

Good luck finding!!

Castello (Part Two)

I did it!! :'D
I got the drawing done!!
I feel so awesome 8)

Castello de Saint Angelo Drawing

The Castello de Saint Angelo and it's bridge are two of the most DETAILED and FRUSTRATING things I might have ever drawn.

So much detail, bricks my brick by rafter by scaffolding by angel statue.

My frustration with this thing is growing, especially because I have been working on it for three days! Saturday, Sunday and Monday. If you count today in the morning then three and a half but...

I can do it!

I know I can O.O

Small pets, big losses. :(

First off, I would like to state that loosing a pet really is like loosing a family member. The worst part is that when you purchase or adopt the pet you know that one day you will have to suffer the loss of this beautiful animal someday.

Many years ago, I would say three or two, my cat Daisy passed away in my arms on the way to the vet's. My sister and I were horrendously devastated at the loss, but because it was literally nine days before my sister's birthday, to help her cope she purchased a hamster.

This little guy was titled Squirrmy Pinacolada Coconut Shmurf. Yep, his full name. Little hamster, not sure what breed, but he was a yellowish almost pale gold, browny ears and had the cutest personality. Feisty, determined but seriously an adorable little trooper.

After a weekend at my dad's, my sister and I came home to see that the little guy had passed on.

I know the horror of having to loose an animal, as I have helped raise all of the animals who have come into the house since three awesome cats. Four hamsters, three guinea pigs, totaling four cats and a dog. Very thankfully, two guinea pigs and the dog are still with me.

It really is horrible having to say goodbye to such a dear friend of this house, and everybody really did love Squirmy. He made friends with everybody, and it will be sad having to break the news to a few people who loved him, and don't know about this blog.

However, recently we adopted a new Guinea Pig. My sister and I called him Mr. Mann.
In my heart I believe that Squirmy stayed around - he was very sick and very thin for a long time - to make sure that Mr. Mann rested into the family nicely, and could make my sister happy.

In addition to this depressing post, my Aunt's cat Sydney also passed away last Monday. He was as old as I am now, 16, and was born around when I was. It really is sad. Sydney was loved so, SO much by my aunt. He was really just... Just an amazing cat. So kind, so gentle. He was always wanting to say hi, unless you tried to pick him up of course but everybody dislikes something, you know? Thats okay...

Rest in peace, my friends. We really will miss you, but I am sure you've had good lives. <3

Love,
Haley.

Assassin's Creed Cosplay; How fast can I get this done?

So in a month (EEK) there is an upcoming convention. For this convention, not only must I apply for a job in order to get mum to buy my ticket for me (anybody want my writing skills?) but I also have no idea how to get my cosplay (or, costume play) in time. Originally I was going to be, like, eighty different things. But now I would like to be my own character.

She is based off of Assassin's creed, so yes a fan character, and has the rank of Maestro in the brotherhood. I found a few pictures of how other assassins look and even a woman who cosplayed an outfit from one of the ranks!



Now, my assassin girl looks more like the image a paragraph below this one, and though that is not my artwork the basic concept is there, except she is female and has a light blue sash instead of a red one. Go assassins who stick out like sore thumbs!! (XD)

The outfit should not be too hard, and if I cannot get this done in time then I have until August- another convention- to get it done, perfected and ready to withstand many years of usage.


I love Assassin's Creed!! :'D

The sad thing is, is that I have to make my own costume, while also helping one friend make all three of hers, make my boyfriend's, and also make my other friend's costume.

Wish me luck!! ;-;

New Banner? Mabye?

I was thinking and maybe I should create a new banner. I really love my current one though...
Agh!
Decisions, decisions.
I was thinking of making two angels, a light and a dark. Basically The Light angel and The Night Angel. But I don' have anybody to call the Light Angel so what would be the pooiiiint? XD

Oh my such a hard decision!!!

Shugo Chara ([Blog #13] 04-19-'11)

At first glance, her classmates refer to Amu Hinamori as "cool and spicy" and rumors speculate about her personal life. However, her real personality is that of a very shy girl who has trouble showing her true personality.
One night, Amu wishes for the courage to show her "would-be" self, and the next morning finds three brightly colored eggs— red, blue, and green— in her bed.
At first, she is alarmed, but realizes she must have really wished to change. These eggs hatch into three Guardian Characters: Ran, Miki, and Su. The Guardian Characters aid Amu in discovering who she truly is and help fulfill Amu's dreams.

Now, I've been watching this Anime for a long, LONG time now.
But after I had began it I started thinking, "What if I have a Guardian Chara just waiting to come out?"

In the next little while I will be hopefully designing my own little chara. Even if they aren't real, you can always use an imaginary friend, right? :)

Love,
The Night Angel

Dangerous And Deadly Miniature Weapons ([Blog #12] 04-19-'11)

This is about a Youtuber that goes by the name of 43287633, who has made many miniature pieces of very deadly weapons.

For example, a Miniature Crossbow.

I built it entirely out of solid sterling silver and 22k gold (except the bow itself and the string which are made of steel).
It is all handmade and is an original design.
Although it is intended as a high-quality jewelry piece, it functions quite well as a miniature weapon and is able to inflict significant damage.

This miniature crossbow works in exactly the same way as the common full-size hunting crossbow, but in terms of power to weight ratio, the mini crossbow is almost 4X stronger.

It took me many hours and countless experiments to build and perfect this mini-crossbow and its arrows. Every part was tested and modified countless times until the optimal technical and ergonomic level was reached, as well as becoming a thing of beauty.
The mini-crossbow was much harder to build than the mini-cannon which appears in my previous videos.

This is one of the world's smallest crossbows.

This is such a cool piece!! This cross bow can also fire three types of handmade aluminum arrows:
1. Basic (steel-tipped) arrows
2. Ramming arrows
3. Flare arrows

I would be running from this man if he had one of these anywhere near me. It can fire at almost 6 lbs of pressure off of a single steel string!! The range he fires this crossbow from desk to doorway is about 5 meters, or 16.4 feet.

Run for the hills!!
