Need some help from copic/marker users' u ' As all of you guys know I want to go into art profession, so I'm trying to extend my reach as far as I can to different materials-- So, what I'm trying to ask is, is it worth getting buying a copic set as a beginner? I've used prismacolor before, but I've talked to a few other art students that say Copic is a lot better than prisma and would tend to my needs. So, any input?? I just really want to make sure I should buy these before making a purchase...

Gallery Submission RulesCo-Founder Dragonnova here to make a quick update and bump the rules to the front since they're hard to find. The new artwork I'm seeing is absolutely beautiful guys! Keep up the good work!
If you have any questions feel free to ask, we're more than happy to help!

The rules have been updated with something new. Please take note that images created from rendering MMD models must be submitted to the Customization - Wallpaper folder.
For those who know what MMD is, feel free to skip this paragraph. For those who don't know - Miku Miku Dance (MMD) is a Japanese program that allows you to download models, effects, and backgrounds/stages in order to create animations or still images. It originally was created so people could make music videos for Vocaloids, but now there are models of just about any character you may be looking for. Personally I love the program, I just

News (and other Bosh)Bunny Girl Jam
Yes, it is happening. Yes it starts tomorrow! (I've already started mine, have you?)
Commissions / Trades
This Monday is a bank holiday so I get a long weekend (I'm also taking a personal day tomorrow), I will be completing as many commissions / trades as possible. I want to be done with the $5 drawings (I can't really call them sketches anymore). There are a couple important works I really want to finish as well.
Please do not ask me at this time for commissions / trades, when I'm open again I will post about it in my journal. I do sometimes take requests but only on Tumblr and only if it's something simple and fun.

OC COUPLE CONTEST 2 -!WINNERS!It took me a few days, but I have finally decided on the winners of my contest.
Let me tell ya, this was very hard to choose, especially for Evo and Drake but I have made my decision and here is the results.

WINNERS
Drake-x-Aoi by =FryFridaY
Reason: This was a such a HUGE tie between Aoi and Mya, I was seriously went crazy trying to decide. XDD However Aoi won my heart over, her being a failure was something TOTALLY unique, even for TITAN program, she got Drake's character very well, a man who would support his team, even when they fail, he is always there for them. Especially Aoi being a failure, he would stand for her the most. I loved this entry and congrats.
Evo-x-Aesius by ~Elyas11
Okay, this was definitely a close one as well,however Aesius seemed a more type of guy Evo would fall for. Their story is such as a pirate's love as it can get, met, drink, mate, and then he ditches her for

Who likes short shorts?So, taking lunch break from work, I'm toying around with recording how I draw and doing commentary but I'm wondering what character to draw.
So what character would look good in short shorts?
EDIT: Forgot this! LOL http://youtu.be/UcvjXAtzaMU
Also I'm getting close to finishing the $5 sketches, which have been outstanding way too long. Then finishing big commissions and a couple very special trades.
I'm kind of going after this stuff in a shotgun approach and I apologize if I'm pissing people off by doing things helter skelter. Sadly that's the way I roll though...

Updates and something new!

Alright, I've received all of our winner's information, except one! Most things have been mailed, and I'm about to hand over information to Sasu so that keychains can be given out~ We are on a roll! It seems like magically so far everyone has been able to get their choice in artist for prize commissions too :'D hopefully this luck continues without any hitches!

Next on the adgenda is a tumblr I've created for our lovely group! Here you can blog about AkuRoku, show off icons, art, cosplay, fanfictions whatever! dA can be difficult sometimes with some of our art concerning AkuRoku, but you won't be as limited on our tumblr. It's only started to be customized as far as the layout goes but it is open for you to start submitting if you'd like! Check it out here!

Third on our list of things~ does a raffle or some sort of tiny mini contest sound good for our up and coming Akuroku day? I was thinking as a prize/gift it could be a

Livestreaming tomorrowThat's right I'm going to give it a try... Probably between 7 and 8 p.m. Right now I don't have a link to give you folks, but keep checking back, I will post an update tonight or tomorrow with an exact time and link.. What will I be working on? Well I'll probably warm up for 10-20 minutes then just take requests for the rest of the night. As long as I'm not tired I'll stay on and draw for people. So keep an eye out and let me know if you're gonna join in and make requests. : )

An Open Letter to PottermoreDear Pottermore,
You really had me in your hyped-up clutches when you were announced. Hoo boy, I was so excited. My sister and her friend and I conspired to keep a night watch on the website to make sure we all got woken up when the quill arrived (which was at 3am pacific time; I regret nothing). We even found a song parody of "Friday" written up on the internet and decided to sing it and put it on YouTube (still nothing regretted). It was a great time for Potterheads - in the wake of the final movie, we were all of a sudden promised wonderful things on the way. The team was working so hard on it for so long, and JK Rowling herself was involved. How could this possibly not be awesome? The waiting game was hard, I'll admit. But while it drove some people crazy, I could deal with it. I enjoyed the anticipation. It gave fans something else to be excited about after the final movie. And it made me so happy when my welcome email finally came!!
And was it fun! Yes it was! I went through Phil

Rant#5 by HzBlunte
Remember the good old days when you used to get extra characters and costumes and all sorts of goodies for actually just PLAYING the game? Lotta fighter games these days make you pay money, not time, for rewards.
Hell MK pissed me off a wee bit with the Komplete edition, SxT with my fave character Bryan as DLC,
Extra costumes for certain characters/ extra characters in ultimate marvel vs capcom also DLC... list goes on and on...
Its not just beat-em-ups, other genres mostly do the same thing. Very few games these days seem to be properly 'rewarding' (Remember Catwoman and Batman's 'reward' costumes in Arkham City folks?). Honestly, I'm starting to really hate the letters D, L an
