I'm not dead yet!

I've only been doing small projects because my sleep schedule is so messed up. I haven't seen sunlight in weeks. (Maybe I should move to Australia...) And lack of sunlight can cause, among other things, an unbalance of chemicals in the brain, which can cause depression. I know that seems like a jump, but on top of all the other junk I've got on my shoulders, it's a LOT.

On another subject, My next Kickstater coin project just needs to be approved and then it can be launched! Not answering any questions about it! The final design is a surprise and you'll just have to wait to see it! But I can tell you it will be the same price as the last one, and the project will be open for a whole month.

Celestia/Luna Coin FAQ: [link]
Celestia/Luna Coin Kickstarter Project: [link]


My current to-do list:


Green = Not finished. Black = Finished.

:bulletgreen: Stained Glass for ~7espada
:bulletgreen: Stained Glass for `rachelillustrates
:bulletgreen: OC Portrait for ~Ashen-Star-Eclipse

Other stuff to do:
:bulletblack: Stained Glass of Merida (Brave)
:bulletgreen: Stained Glass of Belle (in blue) Stained Glass (Beauty and the Beast)
:bulletblack: Stained Glass of Zecora (MLP)
And unless another character gets a surge of 20+ votes...
:bulletgreen: Stained Glass of Vanellope (Wreck-It Ralph)


On yet another subject...
The holidays are coming too soon. I have no spare cash for presents or anything and I haven't even decorated yet. :sniff:
Oh well, at least the end of the world is coming before then!

Akili's MLP Coins FAQ -updated March 1st-

Journal Entry: Tue Dec 4, 2012, 12:09 PM


:iconakili-amethyst:




These two pictures are of ONE coin! One side is gold-colored, featuring Celestia, and the other side is silver-colored featuring Luna.
The pictures above are from the first run.
Here's a VIDEO for proof of the two sides![link]
(He pronounces my name, wrong, but that's understandable.)

Run 2 is featured below. The difference is the edge text. In the first run, there's no side text.



:bulletorange: These are gorgeous! How big are they?/What are they made of?

The coin is 2 inches in diameter, and approximately 3.5mm thick. It's a nice and heavy 2.2 oz brass coin plated on one side with nickel and (A finite amount of) 14kt gold on the other.

:bulletorange:SHUT UP AND TAKE MY BITS! Can I buy one?
100 of the side-text run are currently available at my Etsy shop [link]
Keep an eye on my journal for other announcements.


:bulletorange:I heard of another project that had Fausticorn on a coin.
The Kickstarter project for that one is now finished, but the coins have not been made yet. I will post pics when they are. It is too late to back the project/pre-order one. But I will put any extras up for sale when I can.

:bulletorange:OMG This is exciting! Are you doing all the other pony stained glass designs as coins?
It all depend on Bronies and Pegasisters like you. The other designs as coins will only happen if the interest is great enough. That doesn't mean interest as in you want to see it happen. That means interest as in you will buy them. I was only able to complete this Celestia/Luna Coin project because of people like you that were amazing and pre-ordered one before even seeing what the finished coin would look like.

Another reason the project was a success was because of Bronies like you telling all your Brony friends about it. I can't afford advertising, so word-of-mouth is the best chance of success these projects will have. When I do get the next project started, please post about it everywhere there might be Bronies!




:bulletorange:I heard of another pony coin; the 'One Bit' Coin.
That's not my project nor my design. Check out ~tidalkraken for Bits. It looks like he's got a 'Five Bits' coin in the works too!




:bulletorange:If you want to see the details of how the Celestia/Luna Kickstarter went, follow this link: [link]

:bulletred:Or if you are interested to see how the FiM/Fausticorn Kickstarter went, follow this link: [link].

Thank you

So my print screen button won't work on my movie player anymore. That hurts real bad, because that's how I get a lot of my reference pictures for the stained glass window designs. It works on youtube and everything else, but if it's in my movie player window, it comes out a dull shade of black. Which really sucks because not everything is on youtube, and I really don't trust the other video sites out there. Anyone know of a movie player site that is not riddled with internet AIDS?

:bulletpurple:Edit: I'm now using Windows Media Player Classic, which allows me to take images from the videos. They are a bit warped, but it's better than nothing. Thanks to those who suggested it!

On another subject, I just found out that the writers of Once Upon a Time are the same writers of Lost. I just lost all hope for OUaT having anything even close to a decent ending. So now I won't watch the show until it over, and only if it has a majority-voted decent ending. My prediction for it though, is that the logic in the show so far will be thrown out the window, and the writers will say, "You're asking why this BS is happening? IDK, magic? Oh and uh, Polar Bear."
They really need to get their act together and think it through. Otherwise, I say fire 'em, and no one re-hire 'em. Their ideas of endings thusfar have been bigger letdowns than premature ejaculation! (Please excuse my crudity)

And now for something completely different:

My To-Do List:
Green = Not finished. Black = Finished.

:bulletgreen: Stained Glass for ~7espada
:bulletblack: Stained Glass for =JessandSurane
:bulletgreen: Stained Glass for `rachelillustrates
:bulletgreen: OC Portrait for ~Ashen-Star-Eclipse

Other stuff to do:
:bulletblack: Stained Glass of Pinkie/Pinkamena Stained Glass (MLP)
:bulletgreen: Stained Glass of Belle (in blue) Stained Glass (Beauty and the Beast)
:bulletgreen: Stained Glass of Merida (Brave)
:bulletgreen: Stained Glass of Zecora (MLP)

Current commissions list:

Green = Not finished. Black = Finished.
:bulletgreen: Stained Glass for ~7espada
:bulletblack: Stained Glass for =JessandSurane
:bulletgreen: Stained Glass for `rachelillustrates
:bulletgreen: OC Portrait for ~Ashen-Star-Eclipse

:bulletgreen: Stained Glass of Belle (in blue) Stained Glass (Beauty and the Beast)
:bulletgreen: Stained Glass of Merida (Brave)
:bulletgreen: Stained Glass of Zecora (MLP)


On a side note...
I'm trying to organize my... everything... having to do with my art. Once everything is streamlined on my end, I think commissions and Swag orders will be better kept track of.
I'm still pretty overwhelmed doing it all myself. (I think sometimes I have Adult ADD.) So I've 'hired' a friend to help me out with everything. Which might mean you'll have to contact him soon if you want something from me. But it might not mean that, so I'll keep you posted.

Thanks for watching me everyone!

It's Thanksgiving day here in the US. (Right now where I am, it's 1:30am, so technically it's Thursday!) And in the spirit of the holiday, I'm writing about what I am truly thankful for.

:bulletred::bulletorange::bulletyellow::bulletorange::bulletred::bulletorange::bulletyellow::bulletorange::bulletred::bulletorange::bulletyellow::bulletorange::bulletred::bulletorange::bulletyellow::bulletorange::bulletred::bulletorange::bulletyellow::bulletorange::bulletred::bulletorange::bulletyellow::bulletorange::bulletred::bulletorange::bulletyellow::bulletorange::bulletred::bulletorange::bulletyellow::bulletorange::bulletred::bulletorange::bulletyellow::bulletorange::bulletred::bulletorange::bulletyellow::bulletorange::bulletred::bulletorange::bulletyellow::bulletorange::bulletred::bulletorange::bulletyellow::bulletorange::bulletred:

I am thankful for all my loving friends and family, those whom I will see later today, and those who are too far away to visit. You are wonderful people and you bring so much meaning to my life.
:bulletred::bulletorange::bulletyellow::bulletorange::bulletred:
I am thankful for my continued health, for the continuing opportunity to use my artistic talents and improve upon them.
:bulletred::bulletorange::bulletyellow::bulletorange::bulletred:
I am thankful to all the wise men and women who came before me, all the brave men and women who came before me, and all the intelligent men and women who came before me, that have made this world that I live in the fantastic place it is today.
:bulletred::bulletorange::bulletyellow::bulletorange::bulletred:
I am thankful to the Brony community, who have continued to love and tolerate and support each other. Who continue to come together and create the most amazing projects I have ever seen a fandom do.
:bulletred::bulletorange::bulletyellow::bulletorange::bulletred:
And finally I am thankful for my loving boyfriend, who is my partner, my roommate, and my best friend. He has lifted me out of the darkest place and continues to support me, even when I think I don't deserve it. Even when I'm a complete shrew to him.
^^;*I love you so much!*:heart:

Re-learning Illustrator is hard! I made a vector in Illustrator like ONCE in a class 5 years ago.
The pen tool is so annoying! Why does half of the first part of a path not work? Why can't I edit a curve after I've made it? Why can't I move an anchor point?
Is it possible to duplicate a group in Illustrator, or do I have to copy/paste each layer in it? Is there any way I can select more than one layer at a time?

Boy! That was a close poll! I didn't think there would be a clear winner for a while! But I'm going with the results as of now.

And the winner of the poll is...

:eager:

............

:eager:

.........

:eager:

......

:eager:

...

:eager:

:iconmeridaplz:Merida!

The donations to my pool will now go toward a Stained Glass for Merida from Pixar's Brave. Once the pool reaches  4,800:points: I will get started on it. Since the pool is up to 3,200:points:, it's not as far as you might think! ;P
Also when that goal is reached, I'll hold poll again, this time for the next pony design to work up to.


On another subject, I am going to try out a tangible project soon. But I would like to know which stained glass you think is the best design out of my gallery first. So I'm going to flood your inbox with polls I'm afraid. Round 1 will be divided into 5 polls. Round two will be choosing out of the 5 winners from the previous polls.
Will you participate? :D

My To-Do list:

Green = Not finished. Black = Finished.
:bulletgreen: Stained Glass for ~7espada
:bulletgreen: Stained Glass for ~BelleSura
:bulletgreen: Stained Glass for `rachelillustrates

Hey everyone!


FIRSTLY How do you like my new journal skin? :D I'm so happy with how it turned out! Special thanks to =Icaron for making it a reality!


SO I think I'm finally coming out of the funk I've been in for quite a while. I've changed my diet and stopped doing things that only frustrated me. Like stupid facebook games. I can feel the creative flow within me once again. Expect lots of random-looking pieces in between commission posts in the coming weeks.



Here is my commish list as of Nov 8th:


:bulletgreen: Stained Glass for ~7espada
:bulletgreen: Stained Glass for ~BelleSura
:bulletgreen: Stained Glass for `rachelillustrates
:bulletgreen: OC Portrait for ~Ashen-Star-Eclipse
:bulletgreen: Stained Glass for *dragonofbrainstorms


Once this list is done, I'll finally be able to open commissions again! :dance:
(P.S. I say it that way not as a complaint, but as a reminder to myself that no list is too overwhelming for me to handle!)


Please remember to check the FAQ list on my profile page before you ask me something!


Thanks for watching me everyone!

:bulletgreen:THINGS THAT I WISH MORE PEOPLE KNEW (in no particular order... but I do exaggerate toward the end) :

:bulletyellow: My screen name is pronounced 'ah-KEE-lee'
:bulletyellow: 'You're' is different from 'Your' ...Here's a trick if you are having a hard time remembering: Apostrophes ( ' ) mean that you are smashing two words together. 'You are' turns into 'You're'. Unless it's at the end of a name coupled with an 's'. Then it is possessive.
:bulletyellow: 'There' is different from 'Their' is different from 'They're' ...Here's a trick if you're having a hard time remembering: 'There' has the word 'here' in it, so you can remember that it is referring to a place.
:bulletyellow: 'To' is different from 'Two' is different from 'Too' Here's a trick if you're having a hard time remembering: '2' has a double-'U' in it. And maybe the phrase 'Toto too?' might help you remember? Both words in the phrase have 2 'O's in them. And for the phrase to make sense, 'too' means 'also' or 'as well'.
:bulletyellow: How to use punctuation (Yes, I know I'm not using much punctuation in this list. BECAUSE IT'S A LIST.) (Please note that I only have these spelling and grammar issues toward people whose first language is English. I have a lot of tolerance for people who are trying their hardest to write in proper English. In fact I genuinely admire them for trying. But if I go to your profile page and see that you're from the US, I'm going to assume you should know English and rip your grammar mistakes to sh#t! :steaming: )
:bulletyellow: Emails are not IM texts. Paragraphs should be used, not 'one-word-ers'! Would you send one word to a person via snail mail? NO! Same principle.
:bulletyellow: A villain is a type of antagonist or protagonist. 'Protagonist' is another word for 'main character.' 'Antagonists' are on an opposite side from the protagonists, but are not always evil. In other words, stop calling the antagonist a villain if he/she is not evil! Villains are evil. Like, twirling-your-mustache-and-laughing-while-watching-someone-about-to-die evil.
:bulletyellow: Someone who collects coins is called a numismatist
:bulletyellow: Etymology, or the study of word origins, is AWESOME! (In the literal sense of the word, btw.)
:bulletyellow: Groups of animals: Gaggle of geese, school of fish, herd of cattle or horses, flock of birds or sheep, swarm of insects, pod of dolphins, pack of wolves, pride of lions, murder of crows, unkindness of ravens, blessing of unicorns, doom or thunder of dragons, etc.
:bulletyellow: "When I was your age," Pluto was a planet  
:bulletyellow: They're called 'blackberries.' Not 'black raspberries.' I'm sick of seeing 'black raspberry' ice cream
:bulletyellow: The stuff in canned cat food and dog food is the same stuff that goes into common sausages, chicken nuggets, and hotdogs, so get over the 'I want to feed my pets like family' thing, because you already do.
:bulletyellow: Black holes are not actually holes. They are super-dense dead stars. Their densities make them have an immensely powerful gravitational pull. And when stuff gets sucked into it, that makes it more dense, and the gravitational pull becomes even more powerful. That's the current theory, anyway. Honestly I'm surprised that the universe still exists with these things in it.
:bulletyellow: How to raise children so they won't become psychopaths, or completely dependent on someone else, or lazy, or so lacking in confidence that they think they are literally NEVER good enough…
:bulletyellow: Philosophy
:bulletyellow: Logic
:bulletyellow: Tolerance
:bulletyellow: That everyone has their own opinions, which can change upon learning new information
:bulletyellow: NO ONE is ALWAYS right
:bulletyellow: 'The Last Unicorn' exists and should be made into a live-action and CG movie
:bulletyellow: That Bronies are like Trekkies are like sports fans are like any other fans of anything really
:bulletyellow: How to put grocery carts away
:bulletyellow: How to take 60 seconds and put that ice cream you don't want back in the freezer before it begins to melt, because the store people will put it back only when they find it and if it has started to melt then it gets all crystal-gritty and gross!!
:bulletyellow: Stuffed crust is not the only kind of pizza you have permission to eat backwards
:bulletyellow: Kristin Whatever-her-face from Twilight is not pretty enough to play Snow White. And if you tell me I'm shallow, then you're missing the WHOLE POINT of the Snow White story. And no, it really can't be interpreted any other way, because if it was 'fair' as in 'just' or 'fair on the inside,' it wouldn't make sense that the queen had that superlative. And think about it, if it was true, that the queen was the most just person in the land, yet she still had her step-daughter killed, then everyone in that world would be FRIGGIN' EVIL.
:bulletyellow: The Twilight saga is a sign of the coming apocalypse
:bulletyellow: I know that Disney owns Marvel and Avengers was amazing. But just because they own Lucasfilm now too doesn't mean Star Wars 7-9 will be any good. It depends on who's actually running the project. And if George Lucas runs with his original idea of Star Wars 7-9, it will be another sign of the coming apocalypse.

Sorry for being quite off the radar as of late. I've been getting ready for AAC in New Hampshire which is this weekend. I've been sewing for the first time since high school, helping a friend with her cosplay. Pix to come soon. I'll be working on commissions again after the con. It's my first one. I'm a little stressed.

I'm finally getting ink for my printer today, so Yay! Printing stuff that I promised stupidly long ago!!

I'm so frazzled and overwhelmed. I need a manager or something.

Oh no! It's happening!

I look at a fan art of Merida and I think "Disney" not "Pixar"! I'm so sorry Pixar! The marketing and other crap is getting to me! :crying: Merida is NOT the latest DISNEY PRINCESS. She is the FIRST PIXAR PRINCESS!!

And to you who now wants to comment to the contrary; "But Disney owns Pixar, so it's all Disney."
:P No! Disney owns Marvel, does that mean that the Avengers are Disney characters?
"Yeah, but Pixar came from Disney in the first place. And now they've been absorbed back."
:P No! If Disney was to buy the Don Bluth films or Dreamworks, would you then call Thumbelina, Odette, and Fiona Disney princesses?
"Oh, I thought they were Disney already."
Shame on you!!!
"Ok, but Disney has always had their name attached to Pixar films."
:P Just because Disney is the distributor, doesn't mean they own it. Would you call Princess Nausicaa or Princess Mononoke Disney characters just because Disney was distributing them in the US?

So, to reiterate,
I'M SORRY MERIDA! PEOPLE KEEP TRYING TO TAKE AWAY YOUR PRIDE OF BEING THE FIRST AND ONLY PIXAR PRINCESS! AND THEY TRY TO GROUP YOU AS ONE OF A DOZEN!! :cries:

:bulletyellow:EDIT:  Whenever we see the Disney logo in the commercials, it says "Disney presents a Pixar Animation Studios film." I guess the outcome of this debate depends on whether it said that in the commercials for Brave or not. Agreed?

  Also, I realize now that I forgot Princess Atta from "A Bug's Life." But, Brave is still Pixar's first 'princess movie.' "A Bug's Life" was an interpretation of the fable "the Ant and the Grasshopper." Not a 'princess movie.'
