I've been having this circle around my head for a long while now.

How does one have fun in conventions?

I honestly seem to have forgotten how to... I'm pondering whenever to go to any of these finnish conventions anymore cause everytime I leave with dissapointment and the feeling of loneliness when I notice that people only ever say hi and then run away, if even that. And whats the point of going to a con if you're just gonna hang out with the people you hang out with every weekend anyway? Just a fuckton of money gone to waste when the con itself has nothing of interest to give. I tried selling art as well, cause I thought it'd give me something to do than just sit around being bored, but well... selling is sitting around being bored cause barely anyone cared majority of the times ever.

I remember before I used to go and meet new people, hang around, talk and have fun with them. Why is it so hard to approach people thesedays? Why does nobody seem to want to do anything interesting anymore either? Why do people want to hang around with their closed friend groups in cons thesedays? And when you go say hi they just silently move away when you don't notice ._. Or is there something wrong with me?

I've been really eager to save money for a furry con abroad tho, I've heard a lot of nice stuff about them from my friends online, they said selling has been a lot of fun aswell cause furries are obviously more interested about furry artwork and apparently people like to buy lots of art over there and talk with the artists! Although I fear I might run into the same issue over there? What if I'm just incapable of having fun? What if I really am that scary irl that nobody wants to hang around? What if the people I meet there will play cardgames for the entirety of the con again?

Aiming for Confuzzled 2014 atleast, cause this year is too late now, oh well.

Still thinking whenever I should try Tracon again this year? Last year was the worst experience of my life but previous Tracons used to be okay. Would anyone be interested in actually hanging out with me there? Of course I'd have a few other people probably tagging along but they're all social and like meeting new guys aswell.
I don't want to participate in the sitting-outside-drinking-alcohol-meet, but I'd like to walk around, maybe play some dancegames together, talk, doodle, other fun stuff?

I keep forgetting keeping you guys here up to date, so now that I'm having a cool slow morning having fun watching my friend drawing comics I thought I could sum some stuff up.

Not too long ago, I had a massive mental breakdown and I got reaallly super ill from it, felt like dying an was gonna give up n stuff. But no, then I had this spark of hope whatever you wanna call it, I gotta keep fighting cause dreams don't come true if you don't keep fighting! But sort of disconnected from people atm while I patch myself up and that. But it's reaaalllyy scary how your mind can fuck up your health like that o_o

School lifes going pretty well, being ill didn't make me fall too much back, I'm still ahead of most, getting stuff done in time and still not have to rush~
That being said, time to go to school and face the evil coldness and bright sun of the morning!!

ps. getting more x-men comics to read soon, thanks to my awesome friends n suchhh!!! :3


edit: And then the bus doesn't show up and I can't get to school again, oh great!!! >:I

~Neko

So today I came back from school for 500+ favorites in my inbox. Woah. That'll teach me to upload 10+ artoworks at once.
But seriously, WOAH it's pretty damn cool. I don't know how I got this far but it feels amazing~!! <3 To top that, I, after a really long time, feel like I've been improving again! I'm getting closer to the style I want to do, not there yet but definetly a step closer again! c:

Thank you!! <33

Also to update you somehow: I've recently discovered the X-men series (movies, comics) and I'm all hyped about them!!! I don't know how I've managed to miss out such awesome!
I recognized wolverine, I remember seeing adverts in TV of the character when I was a kid and always though he was really cool - only now I managed to get nudged that there's movies and hundreds of comics of him and other amazing characters. AND THIS SHIT IS IMPROVING MY SKILLS DRAWING HUMANS LIKE WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Cause now theres something interesting to draw that involves faceeesss!

*next up Neko is going to upload another drawing of Wolverine again*
I promsise I'll draw some other chars soon tooo haaahh ((nope, more wolverine it is!))

~Neko

[link] <---- GO

You can follow me over there aswell, it may be more active than my DA artwise but not as active as my FA.
My weasyl is moderated by my friend ~MeggersNuff who will post my art there and post all the comments I tell him to - reason is that the site is pretty fucked up for me cause I have an older OS, just like DA is broken - only a bit worse this time. Gladly I have friends who will help me spread my art around <333

Dats all! Bais!

~Neko

My friend is having a comic project with awesome dynamic fight scenes and that sort of stuff!! You should totally chip some into the project, get your own copy of the comic or moar!!!
There's a day left for the campaing, lets help them reach the goal!

CLICK HERE!!!! 83

You don't need to put in much, cause if lots of people donate some it becomes a big pile eventually! :3

That's all!!

First journal

The tracer has deactivated her account but did not leave any sort of apology or sorry message, they didn't delete the drawings either.
I don't know if this is a win or lose situation, let's keep our eyes open incase she makes a new account and comes back - since the behaviour seems quite suspicious.

~Neko

Who: !SelvieLente / Also has a Mweor: Sing Nu (Selvie), ID: 40832 (sells the traced lines over there)
Does what: Has traced the lines from art by multiple artists including me, TaniDaReal, Falvie, CookieHana etc. MOST of the work being commissions!

Examples of the trace (while they're still up, I've reported the one traced from mine already!)

What to NOT do
Do not go start a flame/blame war, this will only get YOU into trouble, we need the theif to get into trouble!

What TO DO
Spread the word, let people be alarmed of this person (so they don't commission them for example)! Stay professional and calm! Find the originals for all the artowork they have traced! Inform the original artists and have them report each of the drawings (this is the only way DeviantArt can take the work down cause they're a bit dumb). Let the person see that tracing doesn't get them anywhere!

That's all!
~Neko

I'd ask someone to buy me more prerium membership to keep my page pretty, but my back, arms and hands are in such a horrible condition that I can't even draw properly anymore to give something in return (and I wanna do more of that paint/cartoony style thingy SO MUCH ;__; ). I dunno whats gone wrong since I've not done anything different from before apart from lifted some heavy bags in december but it can't be that anymore!! I've worked out, stretched tons, rest and all that stuff, even got little massages from my bf, but they only ease the pain for a moment and then it's there again!! I can't even fucking walk without my back screaming NOOOOOO000oooooooo. Tough luck gotta walk home everyday anyway.

Other than that, ok - that's a big issue right now. I'm alright! I'm on schedule at school, beating myself even more dead and sleeping every other second. Ima try take some photos of the stuff I've made!! Because there's lots and it's sort of art too, clothes are art right??? RIGHT? Oh and I wanna show you my awesome anthro doll girl who I use to design outfits on c:

And getting a proper massage thingy at friday, hopefully it'll fix things! OWWWW HURT MY NECK WHILE TRYING TO DANCE TO GLITCH HOP AGAIN x_x

Talking about glitch hop, I made a group for it's fans over FA Check us out !!<33

~Neko

Commission link here, there will be all you need: [link]

On the other hand I've been really busy with stuff and very slow with keeping track on DA lately, but hopefully I'll get better again soon tho! I'll need to upload some new drawing here at some point o-o

Happy New Years too! :3

~Neko

Because thesedays I'm just too lazy to post all my sketches to DA anymore (I post them to my FurAffinity account, because that place rocks - [link] )
Here's links so you can see them atleast <3

Christmas ones on this folder (click picture names to view them)

~Neko-Maya

Posting this here too incase more people actually will read it and not just look at pretty pictures, even though I have only 1/3 of the watchers compared to the group heh.

is soon running out of its supergroup status, and we need about 10 000 points to cover the next year! So, if you are an artist, and would like to help the group by doing point commissions (or regular ones, money can be turned into points too), with atleast 50% of the income towards the group, we'll gladly feature your offer and the drawings you complete this way over our group! That's almost 4000 people who will see your effords!
Sounding good? Drop me a note and tell me what youd like to offer, prices and how much the group would be getting etc.!

Later on, I'll also open up a donation pool, where for a certain amount of points you can choose any deviation and we will feature it!

~Neko

I didn't think things could turn even better. The cruise was amazing and I had a lot of fun there. But, when I got home. And to check my messages again: HOLYSH*T, 2000 new messages??? A Daily Deviation feature??? I didn't expect this at all! You probably can't imagine how happy I am, I cannot even describe it myself!
I've simply been giggling maniacly and rolling around my room! This is amazing! Thank you everyone!! Thank you for all the comments and thank you especially ~vladimirsangel and ^KovoWolf who made the feature!

~Neko

Incase some of you left the stream before it ended and got one, heres the link to the folder with all drawings - they are named after the nicknames of the people who gained the slots.

[link]

Also to clarify: there was me, ~RavenUnia and ~Sithil drawing, because the two of them are currently at my place

Was a lot of fun! Perhaps we are going to do this tomorrow again~

So, after cleaning my room for a week it's finally almost like it could be CLEAN! Wooooooooooh! I finally feel like I could go rolling on the floor again because it doesn't have dust! ;u; AWYEAH.

Okay, I wasn't supposed to write a journal about that. Life update time
I almost never let you ppl of DA know whats going on, too keen on FA haha.

Things I'm looking forward to right now:
-Next week I'm going on MSI's gig with ~RavenUnia and ~Sithil whoooooh!! Break my hearing some more and dance and fun! And then we are gonna pick up ~AllowedCamping and go on a cruise!
-Confuzzled next summer if we ever get tickets anyway because they're almost gone by now!

Things I achieved?
-We won one TF2 clan match because the other team didn't show up because they had a life OOOHH YEAH so awesome! And lvl22 on GW2 - getting better at nolifing.
-I got.... 1 Plus1 page done last month ._. Is that good???? NO?
-I got told that my art really really sucks by a professional and not only art but also the atmosphere that floats around me! : D
-I lost weight. IS THAT REALLY THE ONLY HAPPY POSITIVE THING I'VE HAD?

Man... life really does suck lately?
I've been switching between depressed and energetic of the late, not being sure whats going on and where my life is going. Running on the happiness I see on other peoples lifes. And music.
I want to draw/stream so much more, hang out with people more, have more time, be able to sleep without having bad dreams and get things done! :c

~Neko

Anyone coming? Planning to come, to either one of them??

Nordicfuzzcon will be located at stockholm-sweden, so easy access from finland! And by plane from elsewhere too!
The event takes place 28th to 30th of March 2013 (and don't be silly, we wont be dead before that!)
Here's their homepage too
And this doesn't cost a fortune! I mean ~70e(con) + ~100e(hotel) + ~100e(trip) = not bad coinsidering that's it's abroad.

I really want to go to a real furry con, since all these loosely related RPG/anime cons over here are boring the shit out of me.

Or should I save up and go to Confuzzled instead?? I'm thinking about going to UK next summer anyway so why not!
Their website is little confusing to me tho (how fitting) - I can only see the hotel pricings from 350-240£ but I dunno which one is the one I'm supposed to take?? And no conticket price stated??? And then you can also buy all the food?? deeeeerp 8I

So, you there, say something!


SCREW IT ALL, ALL THE COOL PEOPLE ARE GOING TO CONFUZZLED <3

~Neko

I can't properly place my drawing into folders by dragging them - they lag out or freeze randomly, or just simply don't get dragged, the pen image next to them does not work either.
Everytime I press a pop up option it simply does not work? (like slide down option panels on top etc.)
When I try to open the panel to put a drawing into a group it only opens up a blank window??
When I try to make a new poll and press the + the + simply dissapears and nothing happens??!
I can't even pick a mood for my journal because it doesn't let me click the fucking face!

>:I

WHAT THE FUCK HAPPEND TO DA?
I'm glad I was capable of posting a journal!

DA also regave me all messages starting from a few days ago. It's already a job to keep track on all the new submissions, journals, comments, faves etc. and I check them more than daily - but oh my god everything again from inside a week?! and I thought I got sudden 800 new messages because I posted a cute mew drawing lol (that was a bit unbelivable tho) :C

Forget that last jorunal o-o
It's scary how many people actually cared, makes me wanna hide under a rock x_x

Come to my stream: [link]

Lately I've been becoming more and more upset, I'd actually start calling it a depression now that I've been there over a month, and there is really no sign of anything becoming better. I've lost my reasons to live, I've given up believeing in my dreams. Everything I had and worked hard for is no longer there... I don't have inspiration to draw, I don't have time to draw. After each school day I feel drained and simply stare at a wall or cry.

I wanted to draw for my life. I even did that for a year. Life was absolutely perfect, I could not ask for more. Until I stopped. I don't even know why I stopped. Perhaps because I was pressured, I was told it's not possible to do what I was doing, I believed that what I did was not actually possible, perhaps it didn't, maybe it was all just a long dream. Don't know how that makes sense. But it happend. I had to wake up from that dream.

I had a life where love stories were possible, I had a life where people paid me for drawing things I loved to draw, the life which I could enjoy every moment of. Life was simple. Everything was fine. It was a like the dream I always wanted to make real.

Then it all stopped into a wall, I woke up. It's like the few previous years never happend, everything's just gone.

Now I can't find a reason to life anymore. But I keep trying.
