I want to make a flash website with interactive elements, for a good example of what I mean: [link]
Or at least I need the navigation area at the top of the page to be flash and interactive in this way. I have no idea how to go about this. I have Flash and Dreamwaver but have not used flash before. Could anyone point me in the right direction for how to learn to do this? And if I'd need a specific kind of webhost for it? I'd appreciate any advice, especially explained in words I can understand, Thanks!
I'm also selling a couple of dresses to help raise the money, the link is here: [link]
but you can contact me on DA too
Society6 Store: [link]
Hi everyone! I've now made some prints available at Society 6 because I really need to raise funds for a new computer so I can make colored works bigger than like... 500px and so that my files don't crash and disappear at random *-*. I'll also soon be posting more pencil originals at my etsy store but because of my health, I'm still not opening for commissions. Please take a look, all your support of any kind is always appreciated. (:
I tried making a gofundme for this once but several people said they were willing to actually donate but didn't want to give any money to gofundme, so if you still wanted to donate anything my paypal is irishbitter@hotmail.com. Though I really don't expect it, I'm trying my best to raise the money myself.
Hi, to those who are waiting on commissions, this is just to keep you updated that I have recently declined in health fairly significantly, and I am taking longer to recover from this dip than usual, but am hoping things will soon improve. It's been about two months since things were last like this so hopefully I will continue to improve. I assure you that any remaining commissions will be completed as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience.
I think it's sensible to stop taking commissions after this point so I don't have to worry about taking a long time or possibly letting people down. Thanks for understanding.
Do you like to have your retinas lovingly assaulted by Japanese themes and dazzling color palettes?
Yes you do, so give these arts some of your well deserved appreciation.


That's right! art features are now going to be themed! cos I like doing that kind of thing.
The enormity of talent hiding in the bushes of this website... like rare pokemon or something... makes me want to remove hands and hide in cave of eternal sobbing.
It's a short and sweet feature of yummy arts.


I want to get back into making regular art features. Feel free to recommend, especially the underloved talent hiding in this place <3
In case you don't already know, I often sell drawings, originals, sketches etc, in my etsy shop [link]. If you'd like to be updated when more drawings go up, I always announce them on my facebook page [link].
I sometimes post them onto my tumblr too, but not as often.
Thanks for taking a look! every little helps : )
For a limited time, custom etsy orders are available. These are pencil drawings on high quality paper, stamped, signed and posted to your door.
These usually range in price from $60 to $100 depending on detail etc, usually on approx. A4 size. For past works, see this link [link]
Note with inquiries and include a brief description of what you'd like if you are interested. : )
I can't stand humidity, I'm extra sensitive to it, and right now it's at 88% and has been like this for a couple of weeks. It's debilitating and exhausting to me, I've had headaches every day and trouble breathing. Does anyone have any good tips for coping with humidity besides getting a dehumidifier. (I don't have extra money right now).
I want to take a cold shower but I'm wondering if that will increase air moisture or something..
gahhh hellup meeee!
I'm open for a limited time, and a limited number of sketch commissions.
These are black and white pencil drawings (made into a digital file).
I will get started on them immediately but because of my health issues I can't guarantee any specific deadlines for completion, just to be on the safe side.
To order: Send a Note with a brief description and any useful reference images you may have. Be open to a little artistic interpretation/adjustment on my part. Please pay once I have accepted the commission to book your slot.
Price: US$40
Pay to: Paypal address irishbitter@hotmail.com

*Merry Christmas!*
After the tests and lots of waiting I finally got to see a psychologist, who has told me I have a physical illness caused by a psychological disorder. She estimates it could take about two years for me to get better, which was a little discouraging, but I'm just relieved to finally have a diagnosis and plan for dealing with it. I'm a lot better than I was a couple of months ago, but just getting through each day as it comes. This has been a very confusing and agonizing time, but I'm hopeful now that recovery is in sight. Thanks to everyone who has encouraged me and supported me, I hope to be more and more productive with time.
I'm sure some of you are acquainted with antidepressants.
I started on a very low dose about four weeks ago, they weren't really doing anything, so my dosage was doubled 13 days ago. From day 7-day 11, I started feeling better, but yesterday my weakness returned suddenly and strongly, while I was in public. It freaked me out a bit because I really thought I was gradually getting better, and this morning I woke up feeling extremely low and have been very depressed and anxious all day. I know it hasn't been a full two weeks yet on the higher dose..but I really expected to feel better and better, not feel better then suddenly go miles backwards!! If you've had antidepressants, is this sort of thing to be expected? or is it probably too low a dose?
(I'm so so exhausted I can't stand the thought of being prescribed different ones and starting again with who knows what kind of side effects, I really want these to work. )
I know this isn't a medical issues forum but this is honestly the only site where I seem to get replies to my queries X)
[link]
I know it's a long shot, but I really really do need a new computer, and there's no way  I can afford one, so I figured it's worth a shot!  (:
*EDIT* Thanks for your suggestions!! And all the help, I got it now, thanks everyone : D xxx


Anyone know a fairly simple (easy for me to comprehend and therefore update) gallery html code? I made my website using dreamweaver, so to update the gallery, I have to make a new thumbnail and add it to the page, and make it link to a pop up window of the image, but this is not what I want, ideally. I'd prefer something like a list of image titles at the left, and when one is clicked on the image loads on the right. I'm really clueless on html so I need something clean and simple and easy to update with new works. Any tips would be great! Just remember to speak to me about it as you would an old person or five year old.
Bag giveaway! [link] Please reblog to spread awareness about human trafficking and be in to win a bag with my 'opu ii' design on it~!
I'm moving house and because I'm too unwell to work a normal job I'm doing whatever I can to raise money for the two weeks rent I need to pay in advance! (and anything beyond that would be helpful for groceries *-*) Please allow up to a few weeks for the completion of your commission due to my health issues. Every little helps! So thanks in advance to anyone willing to help me out.
Sketches:
Character sketch: $30-$40

I will not be doing any preliminary sketches for these.

Colored:
Colored work: $60-$85

Detailed colored work: $95-$120+


Process:
Send a note with the details of your request, if I reply with 'I accept' or something like that, please send the payment to Paypal address: irishbitter@hotmail.com. Please wait until I've accepted before paying >< It would be helpful to type your DA username in the payment note or somehow help me match usernames to paypal names.
If you don't have ref images, a short description of the character will do.
I don't do portraits of real people, couples or risque material.

Tip:
The closer to my interests or style, the better it will probably turn out, the further from my interests or style, the more difficult it will be, and commissions generally tend to turn out better the less specific the request is. If you can just send a ref pic and want to leave the rest/interpretation to me, that's probably the best way to go. For colored work, you can request to see a preliminary sketch for your approval, but it will be very rough because the drawing always looks more rigid when based on another sketch.

*CLOSED* $25 sketch commissions *CLOSED*

Journal Entry: Fri Jul 27, 2012, 9:48 PM


*NOW CLOSED*

I've decided to take a few sketch commissions because my new meds and supplements are expensive and I have to see a dietician, not sure how much it costs but it will be more than $0, which is more or less what I have. (I already sold my one remaining lolita dress to pay for this months supplies sobsob whingewhinge ;-; )  I think it's better not to commit to anything more than sketches right now because of my health, so please don't ask for other types, I just hate sitting up at my computer right now. I'll be completely honest upfront and say I cannot give a definite turnover rate because I often get worse out of nowhere, but I will try to get them done as promptly as I can. I know this doesn't sound like a great sales pitch so far, but I will really appreciate anyone who understands and still wants to commission me. haha

Price: $25
Item: Sketch commission

Devious Journal Entry

Journal Entry: Sun Jun 17, 2012, 5:25 PM


As I always make publicly known, I'm not a healthy child, the last drug, which affects the brain, I was prescribed caused a very adverse physical reaction, I'm annoyed I was prescribed it, because I found out in some cases it can cause death, and except from that, I got most of the worst symptoms, until it's out of my system I've been under constant sedation to keep the effects down and my heart slowed, I even had my first ever hallucination. That first day I truly thought I was going to die haha but I'm recovering now, that same night I got home from the doctors and my dog had eaten all my friends dark chocolate and had to be taken to emergency vet to get purged, it was possibly one of the worst days of my life but my friend and I laughed all the way through it (with a sort of manic fearful laugh) I'm trying to get my doctor to understand pills don't agree with me, but they keep trying. Thanks for your patience if you're in a commission queue or have some other messages or questions I'm yet to reply to, this is the first day I can see clearly enough to type and read. On Tuesday I'm returning to the doctor to start from scratch trying to find out how to fix me which is really frustrating, but hopefully the drugs have worn off by then and I should be able to get chugging through all the drawings I have to do soon, which I'm looking forward to. I've really hated being dibilatated and unproductive and not being able to walk around, but I'm trying to be positive that one day I'll be healthy lol. Healthy enough to travel at least. On top of this crap, my doctor gave me a tiny list of food I can eat, it doesn't even include meat, eggs or fish so I'm a bit baffled about where to get protein from :/ please not lentillsss.


New Commissions [Closed]

Journal Entry: Wed Jun 6, 2012, 9:50 PM


**Now closed**



I will now be taking Costume Design commissions, if your OC needs a new look, or a revamp, or alternate version etc, I'll create a new outfit design for them.
(Historic costume, armour, fantasy, lolita are all okay, if you want modern casual wear, I'm probably not the best for the job, but I'll hear out all enquiries.)
Price is according to detail of course. The following prices are guidelines, you can pay anything inbetween etc.

$30
pretty simple drawing, person probably more of a vague outline/mannequin. block colour and lowish detail.
If the detail is pretty low, this may include colour, if you want more detail, you can spend this much for a black and white drawing.

$40-50
A medium detail, block colour drawing of either your OC modelling,
or a higher detail full colour garment on 'mannequin'.

$60
If you want your OC modelling in a full colour work, the normal digital colour base price of $60 applies. Goes up a bit if the design is to be especially intricate.

Something you had in mind that's not listed here? enquiries are welcome, everything's subject to the individual requirements.

Process:
As always, send a note with the details of your request, if an agreement is met, send the desired amount to Paypal account irishbitter@hotmail.com
Payment in full up front to book a slot. : )
