it's probably just the camera, it's always been like that with my current phone :\

thanks
I feel like I need to work on it a bit more though, not sure what to add or change though

I still need to check out imgur, been pretty busy. started training at a new job and I keep thinking I should try out on youtube with a gaming/vlog sort of channel since my health likes to act up and that gets in the way of being able to work a job
but then if youtube goes somewhere it would sort of make it ok-ish when my health prevents me from working a real job. I just keep feeling nervous about it though too, because I feel like I'm ok with my voice, but at the same time I'm not sure if a recording of my voice playing a game would sound different than when I tried out seeing what my voice sounded like with my phone's recorder. or that I'll start up an account and take hate-messages too seriously and let them get to me. insecurities kind of suck

Happy birthday Amanda!!

I see... :o

Hm... maybe a frame?

Good luck with it :'u
Yeah... but I don't see many hate comments about video gaming. Maybe a little here and there in voice quality. I hope you receive positive comments haha I know it's not easy, but you'll make it! You can always close the account :) ... I think?

thanks

so I ended up getting stuck with drawing those characters, I ended up trying to change my drawing style a bit then that messed with my usual drawing style and now I'm back to my usual drawing style again. but I tried using a different style because my usual drawing style is sort of a cartoony-chibi-ish type of style, so with that style the teenager image vs the image of the character as a child would look fairly similar. Though I think I'm going to try redrawing the ones I have drawn in my normal drawing style (because the style I tried, it almost looks stretched out, the legs are too long, the bodies to long... the drawings of the kid versions look good though I think, just not the... teenager version...)

a frame could help *nods*
I also found an item in my wishlist looks great with this avatar, it's the takeshita dori top

still haven't started up youtube yet, was planning on starting wednesday but I ended up being busy my other days off so I figured I'd just use that day to relax. maybe next week though
I guess there's also a way to block comments on videos too, but I feel like it would be better to keep comments on, to sort of respond to viewers and have a conversation/community

I feel like I sometimes confuse you with another person, and don't know who is Amanda.

Oh gooodness, I feel you so much. I have the same problem. Good luck to both of us~

Yeah, it's real cute! It has both the traditional and modern feel lol

I agree, I feel blocking comments will encourage even more negative people to post.

who do you confuse me with?

I think I'm just going to stick with my normal drawing style, if it changes on it's own that's fine, but it gets all messed up when I force a change.

thanks
I may end up changing it again coming up, but I really like how it turned out still

I got a few tips from a new co-worker about doing gaming videos and such, he does a lot of gaming through Twitch but he's been doing it for awhile and had some neat advice. I just need to... get my courage up... and just go for it.

I... don't know xD

I see I see c: Makes sense. It's just hard for me to stick with one style for some reason, so I really tried to force a change... it's hard :l

Haha xD Sounds good, I agree with him. There'll be nothing if you DON'T do it.

is it from how I talk through here?
I know sometimes depending on my mood or whatnot my wording becomes either more playful or more serious. I hope that's not what's causing the confusion

how's your drawing shop going on here?
I seem to be taking a break from drawing or something, everytime I go to draw I can't come up with anything to draw.. I'm at a weird place where I'm making characters through online character creators but can't seem to draw the character I picture or want to draw

may not try youtube this week.. health has been acting up a bit since saturday night and don't want to push it since even talking has been a bit straining the past few days

No no... like a totally different person that I'm confusing you with. I just can't place my finger on who. But like, I know at the same time?

Pretty good, when it's open lol I keep it closed many times because I have commissions and contests to do orz Also, school. I think I have regulars now lol
Art block :o Aw... what do you mean by online character creators? Those random generator ones?

Oh gee;; hope it gets calm :'u

Oh no. Ooooh no. I read the first part and I'm like, oooooh noooooo.

oh I gotcha.

nice! I keep wanting to get some art from you too, but I never know what to request
usually I end up using avatar creators/character creators from sites like rinmaru (dress up game site, usually they end up having a lot of different artists and such post games there)

it seems to be calming down health-wise, so maybe I'll try recording this week then maybe post it up a few days later or next week. we'll see what happens

Request anything!! Haha. Except. What I can't draw. I'd take a challenge but mecha and furries/animals are just impossible. I'd practice separating, but not sell them lol
I haven't heard rinmaru since like... middle school or early high school man. The time when I was most into dress up games and games in general loool

Yea.. :'o
