and :The Aquarium: by =PrePAWSterous for the second 8D
The second place looks more awesome :dummy:

Why? Cos I feel that I'm starting to lose my skills in pixelling. So this will be a practice I guess before I continue finishing the pixel commissions I owe.

Sandsweptsmall sacrifices, that
one lick sucked me dry
your Gobi desert tongue was a curse

this onetwo quickstep
unsettled leaves from the soil
stamped footprints into deer trails

nature called out gentleness and
instead we went dancing
turned down antlers for diamonds
stole hooves from her womb
collected the beads between her breasts
and sold them for cheap copper

you wired my throat
to accept your feigned apologies
your gluttony
your sin
like telephone poles
my vocal cords severed in the gale

an addict in search for nirvana
I lay at your feet - panting
and between the tendons on your ankles
were lipstick stains

when your hoarfrost bones

Lifelines     The crowded hospital trauma room is noisy. We are all now fighting with bated breath to stabilize our patient Alicia Foster, who, at sixteen months old, is struggling to stay alive. Scarcely an hour before, her terrified mother Carolyn called our dispatch unit, screaming into the phone:

           “My daughter is turning blue!”

    We immediately went to work, running across hallways to grab supplies and prep the trauma room; number eleven. I was already forcing back tears, as my heart threatened to leap out of my chest. I snatched up warm blankets and continuously called the Patient Representative to alert additional fam

'Burn It'“Do you think I could be someone someday?” Becky asked me, looking out across the field. “Not just like every other ordinary person out there who works nine to five at the office and goes home to their kids. But like…really be someone? Someone important!”

Taking a long drag on my joint, I flicked the ash into a hollow bevel in the tree trunk we were sat on. It was blissfully quiet in the field amidst the heads of wild barely and the farmer had given up on chasing us out with threats of air rifles and rice guns.

“Depends what you mean by ‘someone’.” I replied. “’Someone&rsquo

Then don't, I say. I follow the curve of the road's dotted lines but I can feel his eyes on my face, hot and searching. He is out of place here, a boy in men's clothing, climbing over fences that shouldn't be crossed. He's not yet disillusioned by the sound of my voice, but that time will come. I can feel him choosing his words and gathering his courage and I know what's coming. The car comes to a stop, and the clouds shift, and for one moment as I climb onto the hood,

You know, sometimes in life we forget the most simple, yet important things we often at times forget that we cherish.  I've recently learned that as a person; no.  A human being, in order to grow you must learn to put away your ego and to not take others for granted.

Your family, friends, loved ones are more, far more important than yourself.  Without them, I wouldn't be here.  You wouldn't be here.  We all would not be where we are in life if not for the people that has manufactured our growth, as we have for theirs.  

And yet, how come I always forget this fact of life?

Why do I always take things for granted, knowing I could easily lose them?  Why make all these excuses on why I can't do it, why I shouldn't, over and over again?  
To isolate myself so much to the point where all I think about is my own self interest?  

I don't want to put blame onto things that don't exist, making excuses on why I'm inferior to my peers, and myself.  God.  I don't want to make this into some over dramatic kind of journal.  I just, find it ironic while I'm trying to work on a comic that's based of forgetting,

Why is it that I only remember the things that interests me as an "individual", but forget the things that make me "human"??

You know?  Like.. why can I recall all the Evangelion Episodes, Movies..   My Little Pony episodes and Background Pony, with some almost accurate detail, but I forget things like..  Why is my family important to me?  Other than the fact that I grew up with them.  

Why do I always second-guess what I say and do in front of people that I know I care about, yet not completely open with them?  My Mother and brother are examples of this and yet I still forget.  I always do, in time, I'll take things for granted again and I'll forget how easily it is to lose someone you love.

___________________________

Though one thing I want to make clear to myself, I will finish this comic.  For it represents everything I need to redeem in myself.  Although I'll never actually redeem myself for being the trash that I am.  Atleast, if I can finish it the way I imagine it to be, I can remind myself; and others.

The things that are more important than ourselves.

___________________________

Sorry, I had to type this while the thought was still fresh.  If theres one thing you need to know about me, is that I forget.. Alot.  Many people who knew me in real life can confirm that fact.  But I won't make an excuse for it, I've done that enough already.  I'm done.

And in case you did read through all of this, I can't emphasis enough how thankful, yet embarrassed I am.  Embarrassed cause, for some fucking reason, protecting my Ego means something to me. When it fucking shouldn't.

Species Info ::: Daemonata

Journal Entry: Sat May 25, 2013, 6:21 PM


Daemonata


OOC
:bulletblue: This is a closed species.
:bulletblue: This information is only for entertainment purposes.
:bulletblue: Please do not take/copy it...... /crawls
:bulletblue: Anyone who buys a Daemonata design is not restricted to using this story.
:bulletblue: Feel free to ask others to RP here[?]-- and to ask questions!





General


Daemonata are androids. You may think of them as personal computers that monitor the owner's health.

Although the Daemonata are androids, they should be viewed more as gateways or agents. They are a means for spirits to interact with mortals and the full potential of a Daemonata may not be utilized until the android body and the spirit has synchronized.

Daemonata are marked by several distinct features:
  • They have fox-like ears and tails
  • They are about 16~cm tall
  • When inhabited by a spirit, one of their eyes will display the "on" switch
  • They will always carry a syringe, although what is actually in the syringe may differ depending on the owner's needs
  • Their identification tag will be clipped on either ear
  • Owners cannot command their Daemonata unless they have their badge on hand


Functions


Daemonatas come with a variety of functions. Some are unique to the model while  others are more basic.

Here is a basic list of Daemonata functions:

  • Daemonata double as speakers, MP3 players and storage devices. Memory of inhabiting spirits may be uploaded onto a computer, and computer files may be loaded onto a Daemonata. However, Daemonata have limited capacity and overloading them with information may cause them to malfunction.
  • Daemonata may be taught and trained for anything that their size enables them to do. For example, they may be taught to write and read, whereas they may have trouble being able to cook because the utensils are too big.
  • Daemonata are created with the intention to monitor and stabilize sick patients, so it is no surprise that a majority of their abilities is devoted to this. They are like mini-doctors, with the ability to tell heart rate, irregularities in blood and blood pressure, and other similar tasks. They are also capable of basic first-aid.


Other Info


One may tell a Daemonata's rank by its tail. The more tails it has, the higher ranked it is.
  • Higher ranked Daemonata have superior speed, stamina, healing ability, and a much higher storage capacity.

Daemonata are all required to write monthly reports back to headquarters. The reports should detail the health of their owners and an estimated time of death, as well as a report on the Daemonata's own health and whether repairs may be needed in the near future.

Pokemon button commissions

Sat May 25, 2013, 5:39 PM


does anyone want to commission pokemon buttons??? you can take a look at examples here

I guess I could also do things from different series, but not OCs, and I might not want to do it if it's too obscure (I will do any pokemon though)

They are 2 1/4" each and it costs 15 dollars for a design - so I guess if you want a Pokemon in particular I haven't painted, this is a chance for a kind of cheap painting commission

I don't do OCs though! but I will send you 4 of the button you commission in the mail (please also send shipping money, which is different depending on if you live in or outside of the U.S.)

send an email to purple.kecleon@gmail.com with button design inquiries! write "button commission" in the subject
