EDIT: Internet, I have full funcionality again! I repeat, I have full functionality again! (as for computer, my brother will ask the guys at the repair service what can be done to ensure I have no problems any more)


Note to who ever cares...

My computer is currently completely screwed and my brother might be coming over this weekend to see what can be done(he is not sure if he'll find time).
My attempt at fixing things resulted in a half-assed installation - not my fault, I have experience in installing Windows and all the stuff needed for functionality, but my computer refuses to cooperate at the moment.
All I have is basic Windows with internet access, everything else(including some drivers for my graphic card) cannot be installed cause the whole thing freezes before the process is done. I am currently taking a huge risk, cause my antivirus program is among the non-installable things. As is Firefox with it's spellcheck[insert a lot of cussing here].

I don't know when will I have fully functional computer again, but until then you will be seeing me even less than before.

That is all, you may continue with your life now.

You wanna play? :)

Comment and I will comment back with a picture of the fictional character that most reminds me of you. Then post the same in your journal (if you want to).

We interrupt your regular schedule to reveal this important piece of information:

Don't try to make a thread on a forum full of stuck-up fanboys or you'll end up frustrated.
While fangirls have a sense for humor and know how to crack jokes, these fanboys only know how to complaint.

I swear that was the last time I tried to strike a conversation on that damn forum, those people just love to shoot me down!


And cause this is an artblog...

I am posting this to assure you that I am not dead or gone missing...however, I cannot say the same thing for my inspiration to create.
Between computer problems, studying and my general laziness I have failed to create lately anything that's worth showing.
I will...I hope I will get back to drawing and maybe writing one day, but for now this journal will not be getting any new updates.
That doesn't mean I will go away completely, I'll still come here from time to time to read other people's stuff.

And here is the lineart... I'm just waiting till I get a new computer (which should be sometime this month) to start coloring it. Not to mention I still haven't decided what to put behind the fence.

But not to you f-list, you people are awesome!
This day was just a nasty combination of PMS, things going wrong and annoying people IRL, so I needed to vent. (and update my art blog with something)

I tried turning my lates chibi into a new userpic, but it just doesn't look right. Not only do I need to redo the background, but I also have to figure out why the hell does it look so fuzzy.
Anyway, here is the original version (click picture to view on dA, looks better on their grey background):

Birthday gift for my mom by ~Donae on deviantART

You can see how often I update, since the picture I gave her last year can still be found on the front page of my journal. *blush*

X-mas lady by ~Donae on deviantART

My birthday is today.
I want people to draw a heart and send it to me. Give me some love, people!

Yikes, has it been this long since I updated?!

Unfortunately, I got no finished art at the moment. I got lot's of WIPs sitting on my hard drive, but no energy to bring either of it to the end.

While you wait for me to get off my lazy ass, here is something from my dA scraps:

Magic energy - lineart

and my take on a very popular meme on dA

Art meme

Missed me?
Yeah, like a dog misses his fleas...

I'll be on vacation in Koprivnica starting tomorrow afternoon and ending two or three weeks after (I'm not sure, since my parents are not giving out much info).
Why am I telling you this? Cause I have no internet connection there.

Here is something to keep you happy till my return:


Lady and the flowers by ~Donae on deviantART

This is actually fanart. The character belongs to Gaia. And Donae is me. XD



I actually made a little mistake while drawing. His hair is much longer than this, but I didn't realize it till the picture was done. Later, it occurred to me that with his hair like this he looks a lot like my character Keith. This can only mean that it's about time I do a decent drawing of that guy. :)

Two days ago I made a drawing of a cute girl, but I had no time to color it. I am also going out of town for four days(*sigh*) and when I return I will have to work a lot for the upcoming exams.
Now I don't know is it cause of the heat, but I came to a cute idea.
I want you to color the girl.
Below this text is a thumbnail that will lead you to the lineart.
You are free to save it on your disk and/or print it out. After that, I encourage you to color her in any way you wish. You don't have to post your work here, but it would be nice to see what you have done.
See you in Monday!

And I was so kind to let you see it. XD
You may even purchase a print if you want to, All profit will go to a piggy bank so next year I can actually afford buying her something. :)

Walking down the road by ~Donae on deviantART

Since certain someone kindly reminded me that it was a long time since I updated, I grabbed two of my latest drawings and posted them here.
In addition, I must mention that I am getting back into Detective Conan fandom. Not that i ever really left it, it was just hard to feed it with me not being able to watch it anymore since the channel I was watching it on ran out of new episodes and then our satellite receiver broke down.
So far I have only one fanart (which I just realized is posted on the wrong deviantart account *head desk*), but somehow I feel ready to write a fanfiction. We'll see what time will tell.

new dA account --> Donae
Shame on me for having so many accounts, but something in me wanted to separate all the original art I was creating lately from the old gallery that is full of fanart. I guess I just wanted to see if any of my watchers gives a damn if I submit anything that is entirely my own. New account has been active for over a week now, but none of them gave any life signs.
I have come to the conclusion that there are two types of artists that succeed on deviantart. Artists that draw only fanart for very popular fandoms and artist that submit stunningly beautiful art from the beginning.
I am neither. I am an amateur artist whose pictures could use a lot of improvement but still have a certain charm and for a longer time now I have been doing only original art.
A friend told me once that it doesn't matter how much views your art gets as long as the artist that made it likes it, but it's still hurts very much when my old ugly looking fanart gets faved while my new work that took hours to do and is of far greater quality goes unnoticed.
