Hello Again + Inktober Art

Hey everyone, if anyone still reads AJJ anymore. XD I've been doing this quite a bit now. I leave for months and then return, with hopes of posting regularly and having some kind of posting schedule. But then, poof, I get busy or lazy and push AJJ to the side because I usually like read, write, or draw when I have spare time. ;-;

But yeah, I'm back yet again, so hello and sorry for leaving you hanging once again! Even though it seems like I have left the Blogger world for good, I do keep up with the blogs that I follow. The AJ Friendship Community is the only one that posts often so kudos to the authors for sticking with AJ and their blogging community. <3 I sometimes wish it was 2016/2017, when all the AJ blogs were up and running and I'd have tons of blogs to read. But times change and so do people and the game has changed so in all, I'm okay with the changes. I just get nostalgic sometimes.

ANYWAY, in my last post, I asked for ideas on what to talk about. Violet mentioned I should do a contest or something which sounds like fun but I have a feeling no one would enter and it's hard to hand out prizes when you're a non-member. I also don't really own things that'd be worth giving away. XD

So, since I'm bored tonight and don't have any other ideas, I decided I'd post some of the art I've been doing this month. If you're an artist or keep up with what's going on, you'd know that October is Inktober. If you don't know what that is, lemme sum it up. (I'm bad at these types of things but OH WELL.) Basically, throughout the month, artists use an official prompt list and draw something every day. There's a word for every day and everyone can interpret it differently so it's super fun. This is my first year participating and it's been a blast so far. (I may be burned out at the end of it but it'll be worth it!)

I haven't posted my art on the AJJ in YEARS. Like, ew, the art I posted was awful.

I mean, LOOK AT THIS.

...

I don't even want to know why I decided to ruin two beautiful book characters. What is GOING ON with Kai's hair? And just... ew.

TRUE, I did use a bad art program. The AJ Paint Studio is pretty bad but still. I clearly had no idea how to draw chibi.

But anyway. Let's move on to the Inktober art that I've done so far. ^v^

The first prompt was ring so I drew EXO's leader, Suho, with the famous and gigantic EXO ring! It was supposed to be mysterious and dark, kind of like EXO's old music videos and clothing style (if you excuse the sparkles). I think it worked out?? I dunno, I just had fun doing his dark makeup. I should have done more. XD

Second day was mindless. I drew my OC, Zuna, daydreaming under the night sky. I was in a starry mood, I guess. Night skies are just so much fun to draw. I was winging it with the background and I was testing out a pose so it's kind of a mess but I like it. ^w^

Bait was the third day's prompt so I drew a character from a Webtoon I'm reading, called Siren's Lament. Lyra gets called "Fist Bait" a lot so I thought it worked! I didn't feel like spending too much time on the art so I was messy and didn't mind being simplistic. *shrugs* (Also, Lyra is Instantmiso's character so don't steal her!)

And today's prompt was freeze and I drew Xiumin from EXO cuz he has frost powers. C: I'm happiest with this one!! I spent an hour longer on it and gah, it was just fun trying out a different pose than I usually do. And blurring his hand was fun. If you can't tell, I LOVED DRAWING THIS. ;-;

Welp, I guess I'm done now. It was enjoyable writing this post, actually. I might be back in a few weeks, not months, haha. XD

Please don't steal/trace my art and let me know what you think about it! <3

Jam on!

Comment call: Which art piece is your favorite? Should I post my other Inktober art?

Need Ideas!

Heyyyy, look who's back? ^-^

I've honestly been giving this blog some thought over the past week. With Paigeeworld (an art site that I used, it's sort of like Instagram? Ish? I don't know. XD) closing down this month, I have a little bit more free time. I joined Twitter as a replacement for Paigeeworld but I still feel like... I have time? To post and stuff? And since I'm a very talkative person, writing blog posts is quite fun and entertaining.

BUT. I need ideas for AJ posts. Or just posts in general. I want to get back into the swing of writing INTERESTING AJ posts. I'm totally out of ideas so...

I'm in desperate need for ideas! What sorts of content do you miss? I feel like the AJ community is too dead to do fashion shows and contests... is there any tags going around? Should I make a tag? Would doing a book or music tag be boring or fun?

Is showing how I decorate dens boring? Or would setting little AJ challenges for myself be exciting?

...Me asking if things are "fun" and "exciting" makes me feel like I'm an old fart who doesn't know what the cool kids do these days. XDD But it's true!

If you have ANY ideas at all, TELL ME. They can be super lame, whatever, I don't care! Maybe I'll just take any idea, no matter how weird or wonky, and just make goofy posts. You could comment on this post or send me a JAG, either way works!

GO CRAZY, FRIENDS. <3

I'm oddly proud of myself for making a nice den with the non-member items I had. ^w^

Jam on!

Welp, Hello Again

Wow, um, you know how five months ago I said I'd be doing more blog posts?

I lied, apparently.

I DIDN'T MEAN TO LIE! I swear, I was planning on posting more, keeping this blog up, and all that. But then life happened. School was a big ol' pain in the butt and brought a lot of stress. I got busy with art. (If you're curious, you can check out my art here!) Recently, I've been going on lots of walks and just simply spending time outside since winter was so long and I was cooped up inside for months. Course, I've been listening to loads of kpop and haha, I just spent close to 100 dollars on two kpop albums that came with merch which makes me HYPED but wow, I coughed up a lot of money. XD (Chloe helped pay since we are going to share them.) Oh, and I've been watching so many kdramas and I have this huge list of other ones I want to start and GAH, I never thought I'd be one of THOSE people who get obsessed over Korean dramas but look at me now. c:

But yeah, reading life updates is probably not interesting for you, so let me continue this... post thing. XD

I apologize for leaving people hanging. I mean, my blog's been dead for months so I've lost the traffic and some followers. Doubt I truly left anyone hanging... but whatever! Animal Jam's blogging community has been half dead but some blogs are thriving which is great! But most of the ones I used to read are dead which makes me sad and yet I totally get it. I've kind of grown out of AJ, I still love the game and all, but it's become boring since all my friends have quit. I guess I could try making new friends on there but I feel like they wouldn't last? I dunno, man.

Speaking of AJ, I lost my membership a few months ago and I haven't really played since then? Let's go on AJ right now and... see what... there is to see? XD

Oh man, ya gotta love AJ. As soon as I log on, I see someone with a beautiful username and then someone wants to get... wacky?

But anyway, if you want to hang out on AJ with me, just drop a comment and you can chill with me and Baekhyun.

Cred to Chloe Grace for making me that amazing Baekhyun masterpiece. <3

No, really, I'd like to catch up with anyone who still plays AJ! We can figure something out and hang out! <3

I might try to post this summer? I'm on summer vacation for three months so I have lots of time. My posts might not be very entertaining but I'll try to come up with something! I think I'll try to comment on some AJ blogs but we'll see what happens!

Sorry this post is a mess... I should stop apologizing cuz apologies are annoying to read so...

안녕, annyeong, bye!

And jam on!

Comment call: How's everyone doing? If anyone's still here, let's chat!

I'm updating small parts of my blog, like my interests on my Blogger profile cuz WOW, it's outdated!

Also, shoutout to Difficult for commenting and giving me a push to do this post. <3
