great news!if you follow me on tumblr you've already heard, but Nick and i have earned just enough money for the plane tickets! i really reaaally can't thank you guys enough, i made this huge post about how grateful i was but i'll spare you folks on dA because it's likely that most of you have already seen it.
if not, there's something important you should know!
i changed my tumblr URL.
my personal blog is now dreamychocolateprincess
and
my art blog is now RileyAV
as for commissions, yes! i have been working on them. PLEASE be patient! i'm still getting over the whole big whoopdie doo about graduation, BUT it's very likely i'll try livestreaming later today to finish some of them up.
i've been really exhausted lately and a lot of the causes of my stress have come to an end. but i still have to worry about finishing these commissions and then i'm probably going to clo

appreciate lifeThis is a story of what happened to me today,I wrote it on tumblr already and thought I just have to write it here too..So..
Today I was coming back home together with my father.We needed some food,so father left me alone in a car waiting for him.
After few minutes waiting I saw a woman with a little girl around 9 years old.A bald little girl in bandana..They were waiting for a bus or taxi I guess..Then this girl saw our car,me in it staring at her,and said "hello".She came closer to me and asked how am I.I smiled and said "I'm fine",knowing I am not.She said she's fine too.I looked at her mother,because I was..quite confused,I didn't know what to say and how to be,the look in her eyes just broke my heart..I knew what that means.
Then my father came back and I realised we have to ride home.The girl realised this too..She turned around and ran to the lawn asking us to wait a bit.She found a little flower and tore it.Came back to my car,and stretched this flower to me,smiling happily."Ta

NANANANANANANANA BATMAN ARKHAM CITY COSTUMES!!I was so exciting when I saw these images pop up on the internet, apparently if you preorder Batman Arkham City from certain shops you get one or two of these five fabulous costumes for Batman in the game! How cool is that? I have preordered my copy limited edtion that comes with a batman statue, an artbook and some DLC already, and now I get to see what possible costumes my Batman can wear in the game! HOW FABULOUS! The only problem is I have no idea what costumes I am getting... because the websites only specified american and UK game shops.. like a shop called gamestop is gonna get Batman Beyond costume and if you preorder from Toys R Us you will get the 1970s Batman. I ordered mine from an Australian company called EB games, I have no idea what I am getting! However I do know that I will be getting the Dark Knight Returns one either way because it comes with the limited edition of the game. The Dark Knight Returns one is the second one from the left and its my least favourite one..

Art theft and retracing artHey guys! How are you all?

This... is not my usual life-is-perfect journal entry. It's about Art theft, and what is considered as disrespectful if you ever copy/retrace original artworks. To make things as clear as possible:
-you DO NOT submit another artist's artwork in your own dA gallery. Your gallery is for YOUR stuff, your favorites is for the artworks you have specially liked while browsing dA. Submitting someone else's art and saying it's your own, is considered as theft.
Clear? Should be for most, but you never know. Next:
-you DO NOT retrace, copy, color, or edit another artist's artwork without giving them the proper credits. You DO NOT submit this edited artwork and say it's "your own original artwork" without ANY indications to which artwork you're editing/copying from. It WILL NOT help you in any way as an artist to receive compliments about an artwork because the viewers think it's all you. You HAVE to accept your own flaws and need of an original artwork

Paint Tool Sai on Mac with tablet pressureHow to: Get Paint Tool Sai running on a Mac with tablet pen pressure support
Surprisingly a lot of people don't know that you can do this.
In every stream someone asks, "What program is that?"
Artist replies, "Paint Tool Sai"
Then someone else says, "I want Sai but I can't use it because I have a Mac,"
Not true! You actually can. It's not that difficult, either.
Using virtualization software, you can get Sai running on a Mac inside a window as if it were a native Mac program.
I use it to ink almost all of my pictures, in fact.
Fair warning: This does cost a bit of money. You're looking at at about $150 at minimum to buy both Sai and Windows licenses, and add another $50-80 if you choose to get priced virtualization software.
At that point you might want to consider instead getting Photoshop Elements 11 for Mac ($100), but if you want to run Windows software and games on your Mac as well as Sai, this would be the best option.
This video demonstrates what it looks like:

For anyone that need a new Art Program:I found out on Tumblr this morning that Adobe was letting people download programs like Creative Suite 2 and Adobe Illustrator for free.
So if your like me and been using Programs like Photoshop elements and PSP 8 for the last couple of years and want to try something new, here's the Link:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1woD1x4CzokSxRsTaNU4K0nH7n0GAUSkXmwyfWAjLXu0/preview?sle=true
I would suggest just downloading the Adobe Illustrator first to see how you like it. Also it doesn't have the brush sets that the newer ones have so you might want to download a few brush sets. These are the one's I got:

and one from DA:

A few notes:
When I save as a Photoshop file, you have to export it. And when you do that, the first box on is labeled color mode. It always has CMYK , and everytime I try to save that it says I don't have enough memory. I don't know if that's true because when I click that box and save it as a RGB file, it works f

1000 Watcher ContestOkay, deadline's been reached and all entries are there.
I'm sorry for being late (had things on my mind), but I'll be announcing the results soon. <3 Thank you to all that participated!
Check out the Contest Entry folder in my favourites ;D
Now, we're not doing a livestream. No.
I'm officially hosting a CONTEST.

Remember Dream Mist? In part 26, it was said that there was no success in visualising Pokemon's dreams… Now, what if you could see? What if you could look into the dreams of the Pokemon?
Illustrate or write out your version of a Pokemon's dream!

Basically: Think of a dream of a Pokemon within IBAW-Verse. Any team Pokemon and even dead Pokemon are allowed. Written entries are allowed.
A list of valid Pokemon: Champ, Pichie, Suchi, Nuria, Boffet, Veera, Naub, Divec Meya, Leon, Jo - but any others are also fine. As long as it's a Pokemon that specifically appeared in IBAW.
I actually don't want too much cr
