Ohh no! Can't you just use the ones you've previously saved to DA n stuff?

Yeah i saw on fb. Stink! Hopefully next time :)

I can always watch him for a few hours, depends when it is :).
But yeah if you don't wanna go good excuse. Is Joe gonna go though??
We've got lots of people this year going without partners. Mostly people with kids who can' t be bothered with sitters, and other xmas partys etc goin on.

I only like 1 of them. And to be honest its a stretch coz dave told me he use to have a crush on her before he met me n stuff. Shes alright though, better then the other bitches lol. Everyone else i don't really know, OR i've heard heaps of shit about which makes me think twice lol. OH is manager is pretty nice too. She always comes n gives me a hug n a kiss. Don't know her from a bar of soap lol.

Um headoffice is at Serento @ cornwall park this year. Not sure what we're doing. But i think it's funny awards, dinner & drinks. I'm guessing it's quite snazzy since it's serento lol. Should be fun, as Alice organized it. She's the chick who took over from our big bosses PA who is on maternity leave. I don't like her. Wish alice could stay lol.

AHH yes i saw that yesterday when i was packing up davids dads warriors stuff into a xmas box lol. So when you coming to get it? :D

Looks awesome dude, thank you! :)

I didn't upload to DA >.<;; Turns out we have a back up system that saves everything on the comp at a certain time of day, but it still didn't capture. It's all good though, I'm almost back to where I was.

Bloody baby! LOL I don't know how the hell I'm gonna get through the next week haha.

It's all good, his work function is today, at about 12:30pm so everyone else is at work. Yep, Joe's gonna go. He reckons he's gonna get his moneys worth haha. My work function for the studio is on Sunday, so Joe will be left home with bubba :) I'm looking forward to seeing my old co-workers. I still haven't told my boss about baby 2 :S

Ohh gosh, why do males do that? Lol!!! Admit to their partners who they used to have a crush on... It's sooo awkward lol. I've never admitted to Joe when I've had a crush on a co-worker or whatever... not that there have been many. But still, it makes things easier, just leaving it in the past haha. Aww that's nice, at least she's welcoming.

Sounds flash @o@ Cornwall Park... is that out around Onehunga ways? Sounds like a pretty cool work function though, hopefully you have a good time. How come you don't like the new PA? Always sucks when you lose a good worker, and a shitty one replaces them.

Ummm what about tomorrow sometime? I don't think we have anything on, or if we do I've forgotten hahaha. Anytime is good with us. I have to get Joe to drive me out, coz I am not good at concentrating on long trips at the mo :S Stupid pregnancy, makes me really spacey.

Sweet I'll get on to colouring her up today. Should be finished in a few hours :)

Edit - Also, with the Utopia chibis, do you want a gif version, that has a clear background, so you can put her in over the top of stuff??

Ohh what was that preview you sent me on DA then? 0___o
Ahh well least it didn't take too long. But god damn it. I'd be pissed! LOL

Thats weird as. Having a work function in the middle of the day lol.
Is it just a work lunch? We get one of those too for our secret santa thingy lol.
Ohh you still work for them? I thought you resigned?

I don't know they're stupid as! LOL
Although i did admit i liked someone too, but that was only coz he confessed to his first. And it's not like we still liked them when we met. And it wasn't ever a thing i'd act on. Just one of those.. I think your cool moments lol.

I'm having a big problem with Dave and his girl mates. It's really hard to not act stupid about it.
He has this really close chick mate, and i haven't met her yet. But i assume she's nice. But still i'm getting uppity about it. Is that normal? Or do i sound like a jealous dickhead? LOL

Um its at the bottom of one tree hill dude, on the otherside near greenlane. That big park thing all around the bottom is cornwall park - there's a restaurant there. That's where we're going.
Noooo i like the new PA she's awesome (alice). The old one Emma is a toe rag lol. And she's coming back in jan (argh) lol.

Sure!! Um prob gonna sleep in for a bit though. Am lookin forward to it. But maybe around 12-1ish??
Then prob gotta go see sarah. I was meant to hang with her tonight but was feelin pretty sick and had a headache. She prob not too happy about that, as haven't seen her in awhile.
Our relationship is changing though. Not so close anymore. Although now i think about it, i was more close to her then she was to me. But just her gloating about what she has, has been getting to me. I've never really been jealous or anything like that before, i was always happy for her. But now, it's just at the point where i wanna tell her to fuck off lol. But honestly i don't really have many close friends, i don't wanna let her go. Sad sad situation. Lol.

Sweet :)
That would be great thank you :)

That would have been for someone else's piece. I was pissed for about five mins, but then I felt alright once I started on it again. My anger has been getting to Joe, so I've had to work really hard to cheer up about life in general @o@ which is sooo hard when you're a pregnant beast lol

Yeah they've always had their work functions during the day. I think quite a few of them end up working at night time, so they keep that time free. Ummm my job is still there at the studio, I didn't resign. But by law the boss can refill my position now if he wants to. But the last chick who went away on maternity leave, didn't return for a year and a half. They told me last time I left, to just give them a call when I'm ready, and they'll either give my position back, or get in touch when there is some work for me. I prob won't be going back though X_x;;

I've been the chick mate in that situation, and nothing crazy ever went down between me and Justin. He was more like a brother to me than anything. His gf felt the same about me, but he explained to her that it wasn't like that, and she met me and we hung out for a bit, and it calmed her down. It also helped that I was in a relationship as well. So I dunno, maybe meet her and see what her vibe is like? She might okay.

Cool I'll flick you a text after 12 :)

Thanks for coming over today. Was good to see you all! :)
Bubba is getting so big, he's absolutely gorgeous!! :)
Mum was sad she missed you guys, she really wanted to see Mai lol.

Roachi:

Aww no probs doodles, was nice to finally get out there and not have something get in the way lol. He had a great time at your place haha. Hopefully next time we manage to get out there, she'll be able to see him. He'll probably be walking around by then.

Let me know what you think about Utopia's Xmas piece, otherwise she's all yours
This also has the transparent background :)



Here's the normal Utopia image, with a transparent background:

Lol awesome :)

Ohh i love them, thanks very much dude!
And do i have permission to make them into a banner? :)

Great news :) They were a lot of fun to do with this tablet, that isn't a hunk of junk xD;;
Yep, no problems on the banner.

Well that's good your havin fun with your new tablet lol.
Did you do the hulk piece on the tablet too?

Yup :) I was drawing it so hard out, I've worn the pen down heaps already haha. They're not meant to wear down apparently xD;;

Oops lmao!
Can you get new ones?

Yep, you gotta buy the little ends again, apparently they're super expensive for just being a little stick thing you poke back into the end of the pen X_x;; But ahh well, I'll have to learn to be softer with my hands. Arghh, they make money as much as they can off you lol

Argh i hate that kinda shit. Its like apple and it's accessories, bloody joke lol.

I reckon! That's how they get you lol. It's nice to buy the thing, and not have to worry about everything else X__X

;___; Is Nivvy gone again?

She went to see her fams back home. I think she said she was coming back today.
But she's probs tired from her trip.

Ohhh. I see. Thanks for telling me! :3

No Probs. :)

Yep :) I haven't disappeared Dysto, just taking some time off to spend with the family before I get back into everything @o@;; Would have been on earlier, getting back to commissions but our entire household has been sick over the last week. Grr. We're all on the mend though, so I'll be looking into setting up an auction once I get Mewmew's commission done.

Hey Nivvy!

I hope you enjoyed your time off. I'm sorry that everyone got sick. @___@; I'm glad to hear that y'all are starting to feel a lil better.

ooo. An auction! Any idea what you're gonna be auctioning?

Thanks Dysto :)

I hope you've had a great Xmas, and New Years yourself! Yeah, couldn't believe it @o@;; We always seem to get sick when we go back down and spend time with my in-laws </3 They're not very vigilant when it comes to containing illness >.o;; Like making a sick person stay in bed... but they let the sick teenager feed himself first, which meant touching all the food... gross... If I'd have known, I def wouldn't have touched any of that food.

Probably a small one to start off, like a bust CG just to get back into the flow of things. I need to start tightening up my facial work, I'm planning on customising monster high dolls, so I could use all the practice I can get <3

Thanks. The holidays were pretty good. But over too soon. :c.

Oops... I'm sorry that it spread. At least you guys are all recovering? :c.

Ahh. If you want to work on faces, then I suppose you wouldn't want to do non humans. Too bad. I was hoping to commission you again. That was a magnificent phoenix. :3

But good luck with your new hobby. That's a great hobby. I've seen some beautiful custom dolls on dA. I would love to have some, but they're so darn expensive!

Ohhhh yeah, holidays fly by so quickly @o@;;

My husband and I are a lot better ^^, but our little 1 year old is still suffering. I feel quite sorry for him. He looks sooo miserable, and requires so much attention to help him feel better. Nothing worse, than seeing a sick baby.

I'd be open to pretty much anything, with a face, it doesn't have to be a human :) Aww thanks, your phoenix was a lot of fun to work on.

Oh yeah, some custom dolls are mind blowing @o@;; I have to say my fav customiser for monster high at the moment, would def be Karen Kay's work. The amount of realism she can cram on to one tiny face is astounding. But yeah, they are insanely expensive. I have to either purchase second hand, or wait for a special to come on, before purchasing a doll to customise. Even then, I gotta look for dolls that have defects, so collectors of the stock standard dolls don't miss out on a perfectly fine doll X_x;

Karen Kay's Angelina Jolie MH Doll

Karen Kay's Marilyn Monroe MH Doll

Time flies when you're having fun. :3;;

Ugggh. Nothing's worse than a miserable sick baby because the miserable sick baby will probably make everyone else around him miserable as well. I hope he feels better soon!

Awhh. Its nice of you to think of the collectors. :3 What do you plan on doing with your dolls?

It sure does, it sucks how life is like that lol. What did you get up to for your holidays?

Yeah it really does get to me here and there. I find myself starting to stress out real bad, but yesterday was the worst. We have a crazy neighbour upstairs, who hung her head out of her 2nd level apartment, and started hissing at our baby to be quiet - when he was in our courtyard, with his father for all of 10 mins (hubby was cleaning baby's pram outside). Baby was moaning, and loud but what do you expect from a sick baby? My husband ended up telling her not to speak to our son like that, and who does she think she is carrying on to a baby like that, when the baby is in his own area at home.

She ended up laying a complaint against us, for ruining her entire day lol. Our building manager just told us to ignore her, and that he's going to talk to her about pulling her head in. She ended up putting her high heels on and stomping around as loud as she could on her wooden floor, well into the evening. It's super annoying, and the last thing you need when you're dealing with a sick kid @o@;;

I've read how a lot of customisers have people telling them off for ruining perfectly fine dolls lol. I don't want to have to go through that, I'd get so annoyed @o@;; I'm aiming to sell them eventually, when they're good enough. Got a far bit to go, I'm having real troubles with the varnish I use. It's too shiny for my liking, and goes too sticky, so the completed head attracts crap loads of dust.
