Bonjour mes amis!! (edit)

Sat Jul 26, 2008, 11:27 AM
EDIT: I completely forgot to put this in my journal until now! =o So, here it is:

Leave a comment, and I will;

a) Tell you why I friended you
b) Associate you with something - fandom, a song, a colour, a photo, et cetera
c) Tell you something I like about you
d) Tell you a memory I have of you
e) Ask something I've always wanted to know about you
f) In return, you must post this in your journal.

----------------END EDIT-----------------------

Comment tellez-vous? =D

*switches to English*

Hey guys!!! How's it going with you all? I know, I'm very much overdue for one of these things. So...prepare for a bunch of random crap! =O

School: :sing: Schooooool's out, for, the summer! :D And it's about freaking time. I got really good grades overall, much better than I's expected, so I'm happy about that. Unfortunately, I now have AP US history homework to do all summer. :dead:

Band: 2008 marching band has officially begun! Our show for this year is Ellis Island: The Dream of America, by Peter Boyer. It's all about immigrants travelling to America in search of a better life. Have any of you guys played/heard it? I really like it so far, even though I haven't heard it with the full band. It's got a lot of cool themes in it. This year's freshmen are AWESOME too. I love them. :heart: I can tell it's going to be a great season already, even if we don't have a trip this year.

Art: I have a TON of things started that aren't quite finished yet. Remember this? [link] Well, I added a little more to that. I coloured the fire on one prong and added waves to another - I'm going to make each prong represent a different element (fire, water, earth, air, spirit). I have another picture of good ol' Carla Rodriguez vey close to being finished, I just have to get done colouring it. There's also a rather good realistic drawing of Naomi ([link]) and a metal-ish dragon that I think is pretty sweet. And I have a few drawings done for SaxGirl1010's Vengeance meme (that reminds me, I need to get started on that band geek meme too). And there may be a writing piece or two coming soon.

Other: Uhmmm.....there's other stuff going on, but I can't remember it all right now. OH! I just got Disturbed's new album, Indestructible. OMFG. IT'S. AMAZING. Go buy it now. Or, if you're too cheap...go be a terrible person and illegally download it. But just go listen to it. It's incredible. =O Also, we got a birdhouse in our backyard. So far, we've had a bluebird nest in it this year, and there's a swallow nest in there right now. The baby birds are so cuuute...but the parents are defensive. If you go out anywhere in the backyard, they will literally swoop down and basically dive-bomb your head. :o It's kind of funny though. And (believe it or not) we have a peach tree in our backyard now...I basically just stuck a seed in the ground a few years ago and forgot all about it. I can't believe it grew! But it actually has peaches on it now! They're not quite ripe yet, but there are tons of them, so I'm excited. :excited:

</pointless rant>

So anyways...I hope everything's going just as well for you guys. I'm going to be really busy this summer (between band and homework and just hanging out), but I will try my best to get some artwork done. :salute: Over and out!

Hallo peoples!

Thu Apr 10, 2008, 5:08 PM
I'm back, and I've missed you all! Everything's been going pretty well in my neck of the woods. (What's up with that saying anyway? Woods don't have necks! D=)

The band that I'm in for school competed in the district band contest and got a II overall. (We get a rating of I (best) to V (worst).) So we didn't go to States - it's the first time that's ever happened. But I guess it's not too bad.

School's been spectacular and my grades have been nice, despite the fact that my earth science teacher doesn't know what he's doing. I've been on an artistic kick lately, but my scanner's still not working, so I've had to take photos of my work. Not the best quality, but it's all good.

Other than that, not a whole lot's been going on. Life's been quiet, and I'm thankful for that. I'm still as happy as I can be. :) But how are all of you? I do hope that you're doing just as well!


And I have some extra space, so you know what that means...TAG!

Hehe...yeah, looong overdue for an update...

Wed Nov 28, 2007, 3:31 PM
Hey people! Yes I am still alive, just been busy. But the workload is lessening (thank God), so I have more time for art! However - my scanner broke, and our new one doesn't seem to like this computer very much. >.< If we can get it to cooperate, I have a piece already done and one very close to being finished. But at the moment, all I can do is written works and photos.

For those of you who are interested, update on my life:

Marching band season is technically over (has been for about a month), but we're taking a trip to Arizona to be in the Fiesta Bowl parade and the National Band Championships!!! *uber-excited* So we still have outdoor marching practice twice a week, which is SO fun in the cold...yeah. I'm getting really rusty since we haven't been out every day, but I think I'll be fine by the time we leave. Which, by the way, is December 26th - and I have to be at the airport by 4:30 am. :dead: So we're probably not going to be able to eat at my grandma's this year in order to be home in time. And on top of that, my brother is on a different flight, at 7:30, at a different airport. Grr...but other than that, I think it's going to be an amazing trip. I'm rooming with four of my best friends at the hotel (yay!). On another topic, pep band is starting soon! First basketball game is this Friday.

Symphonic band is reeeeally hard, but really fun. I did reeeeally well in my audition and, in addition to making Symphonic (the highest band possible), I got sixth chair!! That means sixth out of about 20! ^^ *is proud* The music is crazy awesome. We're playing Overture to Candide, Tempered Steel, Festive Overture, The Klaxon, and Apollo Unleashed, and possibly Violino Primo. Has anyone played any of these before? I love them. Junior Winds is okay - we had our first concert about a week ago, and did pretty well. However, I really don't like this new batch of music. We are playing Holst's First Suite in Eb, which is awesome in addition to being one of the greatest classics ever. But the rest is less than stellar. Ah well.

(I just realized...I'm updating on my life and I immediately start talking about band. xD)

Anyways...I know it's pretty early, but Happy Holidays in advance! It still hasn't snowed yet here, but people are already putting their lights and decorations up, and of course Christmas shopping has started. ^^ Our school is doing A Christmas Story as their play, and my friend is going to be in it as one of Santa's elves. I finally got around to actually watching A Christmas Story again, and I can't wait to see the play now. =D School has been going pretty sweet. We've done quite a few dissections in biology, which were fun, except that we never finish them in time. Ah well. I've been catching up on schoolwork and homework, which is a very great thing, and my grades are reflecting it.

Oh, but the most exciting thing that's been hapenning lately? The bomb threats! We've seriously had two in about the past month or two. And both times, a note was found in the boy's restroom, which is strange. The first one was signed Skitzo, but the second one was anonymous, and I think was just a joke. The first time we went into lockdown for about an hour or two, and the second time we actually had to evacuate and go to the junior high (which is on the same campus, but still). That was fun, because we had all the students and staff - and we're a very large school - all crammed into one junior high gym. There was enough room to sit, and that was it. Plus, once we were all in the gym, we had to find our teacher. Well, I was in biology, and my teacher stands at an impressive height of about 5 feet. It took forever to find her. But it was actually pretty fun after that, because I was sitting with all of my friends and we just talked for an hour or two. =)

Well, I've certainly rambled a lot. I think that's about everything interesting that's going on in my life. If I remember something else I'm dying to tell you guys, I'll edit this. As always, I hope you all are doing well!

Peace, love and Skitzo, (xP)

Band update + survey

Tue Oct 9, 2007, 6:11 PM
First of all...happy birthday to me!! :D On October 5th, at 6:07 pm, I officially turned 14...on the band bus. :XD:

Speaking of band, this past weekend was CRAZY. We had an away game on Friday (which the team actually WON! :o), then on Saturday we had two band competitions. One of them was at the OSU stadium (OMFG), and the other was at a high school. We got ones at both. And of course, this all took place during the hottest weekend EVER on record in Columbus in October. On Sunday we set a record at 91 degrees. :dead:

But dude...the OSU band is fucking amazing. There's just no other word for it. They're amazing. There's a reason why they're called the Best Damn Band In The Land.

:worship: :worship: :worship: </end OSUMB worship>

So yeah...I'm EXTREMELY tuckered out right now. More so than I think I'd realized before this point. I came the closest I've ever been to falling asleep in class today. But I just physically can't fall asleep in school - when I'm about to drift off, something in me jerks me awake. Sometimes I'll literally jump or twitch (which tends to freak other people out). But we have this Thursday and Friday off from school, which is awesome. Hopefully I'll have a chance to catch up on lost sleep.

By the way (cross your fingers!) I think my art block is coming to an end. :fingerscrossed: So yes! I have a lineart very close to being done right now! And I'm working on that infectious little art meme that someone started...I have no clue who the original person even is. >.< Anyways, expect a little bit of new art soon!

Peace and love to you all,
~Colleen

100 Questions for a DeviantARTIST

01.] What is your pen name?
Athraxio. Would have been Athrax, but it was taken.

02.] What made you choose this name?
That's been my nickname for a while now, and it's the name of my elf character (look in my gallery if you haven't seen the picture). Basically, it's "anthrax" without the N.

03.] Do you use PC or Mac?
PC...Macs are weird. :o

04.] What programs do you use most often?
Internet Explorer, MS Paint, occasionally MS Word.

05.] Do you use mouse, or tablet?
I don't draw digitally...but a tablet would be interesting.

06.] What color or color combinations do you find yourself using most often?
It all depends on the character...I guess mostly earthy colours, and black.

07.] What part of a picture do you put most effort into?
Probably the face. I can never get faces to turn out right.

08.] How long does it take you to draw a picture?
I absolutely hate this question. Who keeps track? I can name maybe one occasion where I've done a picture all in one sitting.

09.] Do you keep your rough drafts?
I don't have rough drafts often...generally I turn a rough draft into a final copy.

10.] What font do you use most often?
Hmm...

11.] When you scan your image, what DPI do you use?
72? I don't know.

12.] Do you do anything else when you're drawing?
Talk to myself, sometimes listen to music, read a book, do homework...like I said, I never do artwork all at one time.

13.] Approximately how many pictures do you draw in a month?
It varies.

14.] What kind of paper do you draw your pictures on?
Backs of worksheets and school papers.

15.] What kind of paper do you use for rough sketches and drafts?
See above...

16.] How long does it take you to ink something?
Not too long. I should really take my time more on inking. xP

17.] Do you do comics, or fan comics?
No. I'm a very humourless person.

18.] Do you like comics? Are they fun to make?
I LOVE reading them...but I suck at making them.

19.] Have you ever submitted anything to a magazine?
Yeah, I'm submitting "Taste of Raspberries" and possibly "North Pride" to Rites of Passage, my school's literary arts magazine. And I might get "North Pride" published in the Flibbertigibbet (our band's newsletter)

20.] Did it get published?
Not yet. Rites of Passage won't be printed until probably April, and The Flibbertigibbet will come out next away game or competition.

21.] Who are your favourite artists?
...oh man, I can't pick just one. xD I like so many different styles...Therese Larsson (:iconailah:) and I-Can't-Remember-His-Name xD (:iconshimoda7:) are both amazing, but I can't play favourites.

22.] Do you like anime/manga? If so, what are your favorite series?
Not particularly. I think it's WAY too popular and too overdone.

23.] Do you like cartoons/comics? If so, what are your favorite series?
LOVE them. But...yeah...I can't pick a favourite. ^^; Zits and Baby Blues are really good (Jim Scott = kickass).
And OMG! Tales From Band Camp (talesfrombandcamp.com). Can't forget that. Daisy is Dead (ranchocurioso.com/daisy) is cool too.

24.] Any artists that you wish you could draw like?
Therese Larsson and shimoda7.

25.] Do you read a lot of books?
Hellz yes!

26.] Did you ever buy a book to inspire or teach you to draw?
My parents bought me a "Learn To Draw Cartoons" book that I never used.

27.] Any video games you enjoy?
Guitar Hero II is pretty sweet...other than that, don't really like them.

28.] Any favorite characters from video games?
Nah.

29.] Do you have a favorite writer?
Hmm...Mercedes Lackey kicks all sorts of ass.

30.] Any books you really enjoy?
The Dragon Jouster series (Mercedes Lackey), Guardians of Ga'Hoole series (Kathryn Lasky), Cirque du Freak series (Darren Shan) and TONS of others.

31.] Do you draw fanart?
Occasionally. Not too often.

32.] Do you listen to music while you draw?
Sometimes.

33.] Any recommended songs?
Anything by Rise Against is really inspiring. And Gojira, especially their lyrics. Enya is alright too...it really depends on your style of music, and your style of art.

34.] Any other art websites that you really enjoy?
This is pretty much the only one...

35.] Are there any websites that you go to everyday?
This and Myspace. Sometimes TFBC and Daisy is Dead.

36.] What is your dream website like?
Hmm...pretty much this site.

37.] Do you like your own art?
It's not bad. Could definately improve.

38.] What do you enjoy watching on television?
I don't watch TV. But Mythbusters is damn sweet.

39.] Favorite celebrity?
Eh.

40.] Favorite color?
Black.

41.] Favorite food?
Man...so many....MUST EAT MORE FOOD!! D=

42.] Favorite drink?
Tea. Or anything fruity.

43.] Do you like to go shopping? If yes, where? And for what?
Not particularly. But Hot Topic is really cool. And any music store. And I LOOOVE spending time in book stores.

44.] Can you cook?
Hell no. xD I seriously managed to ruin a microwave pizza. I know, I'm amazing.

45.] Any devices you use often for email?
I just get on Yahoo once every hundred years or so and check my e-mail.

46.] Are you tech-savvy?
Yeah, kind of. I'm better at using the applications on the computer, but I'm not half bad with technology.

47.] Do you want to become a professional artist?
Not as my sole source of income; I want something steadier. But I'd love to do it on the side!

48.] Are there any other jobs you're interested in?
Hmm..something with computers? Or possibly an entomologist of some sort...

49.] Any other hobbies or skills besides drawing?
Not bad at playing clarinet. And I like to think I'm pretty good at being a therapist. And apparently I have a green thumb that I didn't even know about, since I managed to make a peach tree grow, in Columbus, Ohio, completely on accident.

50.] Do you like to watch movies?
Hell yeah!

51.] What's your favorite movie?
Wayyy too many.

52.] Have you ever entered an art contest, here at DeviantART or otherwise?
I don't think so....

53.] When did you start drawing seriously?
As long as I can remember.

54.] Do you use references? If so, for what?
Sometimes...if I'm drawing someone else's character.

55.] Are you a subscriber? If so, are you a beta-tester?
I can't afford it. XD *is cheap and broke from band*

56.] Do you have a lot of net friends?
Yuss!

57.] Do you have a lot of friends that also draw?
Yep.

58.] What time of the day do you usually go online?
I'm never off... xP

Not really.

60.] Do you have your own computer?
No. I wish I did.

61.] What would you say to the person that you admire?
:worship:

62.] Does your mind wander when you draw?
My mind is constantly wandering.

63.] Have you drawn poorly because you think too much?
Yup.

64.] Do you have any friends who are professional artists?
Not really, no.

65.] Where do you often hang out?
Band room. Hellz yeah.

66.] Are there any popular artists that you don't like much? (no need to name names if you don't want to)
Definately. They have no skill and all sound the same, their lyrics are retarded, and...yeah. They suck.
</rant>

67.] Are there any situations in which you really don't like being a DeviantARTIST?
When I get art block and don't update for a long time...then I start feeling guilty. And the fact that I have 829 deviations piled up in my inbox. It's going to catch fire one of these days. xD
Oh, that and the fact that now, if you're under 18 you can't view mature-content deviations. You no longer have the choice - you automatically can't view it. Which sucks, because I feel like I'm being stereotyped because of my age. I like to think that I'm mature enough to handle artistic mature content. But apparently DA thinks differently...

68.] How about situations that make you love it?
Just about all of it. The friends I've made, the art I've viewed that's really changed me. Seeing other people's views expressed - both in positive and negative ways - has really shaped me. I don't know where I'd be without it.

69.] What's the one thing that makes you grateful that the internet exists?
^ See above.

70.] Is there anything out there that makes you wish the internet didn't exist?
Every time somebody gets stalked and raped, obviously. But also, the fact that the anonymity of the Internet seems to bring out the worst in people. They figure that since no one knows who they are, they can be rude and obnoxious and just a total ass. It pisses me off.

71.] What's your first Deviation?
My first DeviantID (and still my best one - for now. ;))

72.] Any art you did prior to that?
Tons.

73.] Has your style changed a lot since joining DeviantART?
Not a lot. Just a bit.

74.] If it has changed, in what ways?
Just become more accurate, more detailed. Anatomy and porportions improved, although I still have a long way to go there. Shading improved a lot.

75.] Have you experienced artist's block before?
Unfortunately, a lot.

76.] If so, how do you usually get out of it?
I can't, usually. I just have to suck it up and wait for it to pass.

77.] What do you do when you can't get out of it?
Just deal with it.

78.] Any Deviants that have influenced you a lot?
Too many to name.

79.] What made you want to start drawing?
Sheer boredom.

80.] What made you want to join DeviantART?
Umm...I was on Neopets and I read an article by :iconfrostcrystal: in the Neopian Times that I liked. I looked at her profile and found a link to her deviantART account, and I got hooked. Then I found out that my friend :iconamrini: already had an account, and I joined.

81.] Has anything ever made you want to quit DevianART?
Nah.

82.] What do you think about netiquette?
It's great. Now if only people would follow it...

83.] Have you ever been spammed or trolled?
Unfortunately, I've been spammed a few times. Haven't been trolled yet, though...
(For those of you who don't know, "trolling" is when someone deliberately posts a comment on your page that they know will spark critisism or negative attention or cause arguement. They just do it for attention and to cause chaos.)

84.] Ever thought about quitting art all together?
Not really. Maybe a temporary break.

85.] If so, why?
I was just overwhelmed with other stuff, and I really didn't have time for it anymore. It just made me procrastinate.

86.] Do you upload high quality versions of your Deviations, or do you prefer to upload a lower quality?
I don't know...

87.] Do you have custom CSS? If so, did you make it yourself?
Nope, I don't have a subscription.

88.] Do you have good vision?
Oh, hell no. xP I'm REALLY nearsighted.

9.] If you can get anyone's autograph, whose would you get?
Oh man...just one?

90.] What would you say to that person when he or she gives you an autograph?
Depends on who it was.

91.] Do you like to draw on Oekaki BBS?
I don't know...

92.] Do you have a job?
Not at the moment.

93.] Did you take art in school? If so, did you do well? Are you still taking it?
I'm taking a computer graphics class, and I'm doing amazingly well. ^^

94.] Have you taken art lessons outside of a school setting?
Nope.

95.] Have you ever drawn something just because it was the cool thing to do -- the hip new fad?
Nah.

96.] What's your favorite phrase/quote?
Just one? xD Are you kidding me?

97.] Do you present yourself differently online than you do in your real life?
Yeah, I think I'm more open about myself and my beliefs. And I'm MUCH more social and friendly online. In real life, people are intimidating.

98.] What's your goal now?
Finish this survery and GO TO SLEEP. Fucking tired.

99.] What do you have to say to yourself?
Actually finish your essay before you go to sleep. And maybe do a little on that picture so you can scan it tomorrow? You can catch up on sleep tomorrow.
(I'm so bad for myself. xD)

100.] Lastly, what do you have to say to everyone who read this?
