I WISH YOU GUYS ALL A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! (though it's still another hour here, but I'm bored xD)


So, and now I don't know what to type anymore lol


As I don't want to make you guys any less awesome for having a new year you better don't read on lol Cause I don't really care for the new year xD


Most people write about their New Year Resolutions at this point but truth be told, I don't have any xD I never make any... I live in the strict believe that if there is something I can do better, then I just should do it instead of pushing it into the new year and so far I lived pretty good with that xD If there is something you really want to change, then do it! New year is just an excuse to not change it right away ^^ And let's be honest 'I will stop smoking in the new year!' 'I will start drinking in the new year!' etc... If you need a new year first to change these things I doubt it will happen in the new year, so... JUST DO IT!! lol

Of course things like 'I want to improve' are things you should follow, but not only for the new year but all the time!


lol Sorry, I'm not really a friend of this whole NewYear-stuff Probably cause my beloved dog always gets so scared, she sits under my desk shaking as if Hannibal Lecter himself was chasing her ;_; The poor thing... *huggles* If she wasn't feeling better when I was with her, I would sleep already by now -__- Somehow not feeling so well today... Maybe I'll get a cold or something... Aaaaaah well, who care xD

Wish you guys a Happy New Year! Enjoy the celebrations

Unimportant journal. I mean like REEEEEEALLY unimportant. Skip it if you have better things to do

Hasn't happened rarely to me that people see my works on other pages and write me 'Hey, you are Deamond, right?', once even in real life (I drew something while sitting in a train and someone asked me if I was Deamond from Animexx xD) but so far there was always a line between me as a person know as Deamond and the OC Deamond that plays a role in my stories.

Okay, so what happened...

Since about half a year I got to a new hair-stylist as my old one rose prices and in my opinion was not worth the money anymore =/ Sooooo, I came to this new one and as I'm used to let my hair cut only by the chefs themselves (yeah, I'm a spoiled brat... and?? lol) I went right to the chef since then. I use to draw while getting my hairs cut and usually I go every 2 months... you just have to if you have middle-long hair -___-; Especially if you have hair as I do lol They are growing in absolutely EVERY single direction!!

I tend to draw while getting my hair cut and last time I went, I worked on a picture with several sketches of Deamond. The man cutting my hair was absolutely fascinated by his design and asked if it was alright if he kept the drawing. I said 'Sure thing' and left it with that, even forgot about it...

So today it was time to get my hair cut again... I went to the shop and sat down. He came and we had a small talk about how things are going, how my studies are doing and so on and afterwards he asked me what I want of course... So I just said 'I don't know, just as always I guess. I trust your experienced eye.' Then he asked me if I really did trust him and that he wanted to try something out on me since last time... Gulping I said okay. I mean, come on, he is the pro! Anyone has their specialties and he wouldn't be called the pro-hair-stylist of my town if he wasn't that good! Was really funny! He made me close my eyes and glued these sleep-mask-things over my eyes so I couldn't look... Man, my heart was going wild, I tell you!! xD From time to time I heard people talking with him. Things like 'What are you doing?' 'Damn that looks wild!' one wanted to startle me and said 'What? That short? Are you sure it will match? Come on, this looks hilarious!' T_T lol

So the moment finally came in which he said he was done. I unmasked myself, looking at the mirror. My jaw clapped open! I stared into the mirror and my hair wasn't that much shorter, but it had a clear new cut and was styled backwards up a little with the front-hair hang wildly down.

The long bangs on the side are missing but I recognized right away that it was Deamond's haircut


He told me that ever since he saw that picture last time, he had thought that that hair-cut would suit me so well, he wanted to test it out. xD

To get the hair up like when I first saw it I need gel and all, so I probably won't wear it exactly that way very often, but man, that was one funny experience It is true. No risk, no fun... lol


It is really a weird feeling to look into the mirror and seeing 'your creation' staring back at you I mean, when i created Deamond years back, I designed him after myself as my first OC but since then I refined him, gave him his own personality, changed him, gave him a background-story, etc.... and now, over 7 years later I look into the mirror and see him again. In some way I think I put a piece of myself in all my characters. I want to live on within them, sharing a bit of my life with them to make them come to life, but -though it might sound really strange for people who don't share their full heart with their characters- today I got something from them

okay, isn't the first time someone told me someone stole my art, but THIS time it was really funny

A month ago, someone stated on my ElvenBeauty-Lineart that someone from a forum has stolen it. Ichecked it out...

That person (once again, no names. Don't want a flamewar to start...) had posted several linearts of different artist in her 'gallery' in a forum...

"Well, here are a few drawings I did... Please tell me waht you think of them. Please dont steal them. Thx" <- LOL!!!


Nya, doesn't make it any special you say? What makes it so funny is the whole story behind it xD

So she posted this on her page along with linearts which's style didn't match at ALL with each other! OF COURSE it came out! And the people on the forum blamed her, telling her that it was not right, etc... I myself registered on the forum to get my frustration some air and posted this comment:


Quote: Please dont steal them. Thx

Sorry, that made me laugh xD Funny, I posted the same in my picture before you stole it =/ Weird...lol

Honestly, people like you are the reason I consider quitting posting my linearts so beginners can practice. You know, many artists post their linearts so others have it easier to improve. It is an offer to make life for people that want to become real artists easier. By stealing these works you shot yourself in your own leg! Because this kind of acting will result in watermarks, smaller files, etc that make it harder for people to steal, but on the same time impossible for using it for practice =/ Go get a life and either start drawing yourself or stop taking the praise for other people's work!

Just one thing that always made me wonder: If you get praise for something you didn't draw yourself, does this actually feel good?!

AH, now I feel better -w-


... Okay, issue was done for me as she had been reported and the users of the forum had told her that arttheft sucked... Good... Now today I had a conversation with my sister about art-theft after I saw someone reposting my Evin-Lineart here on DA. The person stated underneath it that the original artist was Deamond89, but without link or anything. The user didn't have my permission either, so I considered reporting it... My sister was shocked that I was that harsh even though the user stated my user-name... In the end I only wrote her to please remove my lineart instead of reporting...

Anyway, I explained to my sis, that after having seen so many times how people stole my work, I don't really make a difference between grave and not so grave cases any longer... and as example showed her the user from above.

It made me curious if she actually had learned out of it or not... so I looked at her profile and at forum-posts by her and saw that she had opened a new gallery... I took a look inside and was rather bemused.

She hadn't really learned out of it at all... xD

Look what she posted:

Did you notice something?? Let's give it another try...

Someone posted this comment in her gallery:

i have seen the outlines of some of those before. the princess2 and skater i believe.
did you print them and color them in?
trace them?
or simply draw them based on the actual image itself?
seeing as how i think it was this account that pulled a trick on us bout their drawings previously, i was just wondering.

She answered:
I seen the pics and drew them by looking at the pics, then I colored them in.

Err, ya... sure... That's why some of them look as if they were done by 10 year olds and others that could have been done by pros Suuuuuuure thing...

Oh, remember how I said 'If you get praise for something you didn't draw yourself, does this actually feel good?!' on my comment before? She wrote this on another comment:

'It feels nice to get praise for your own work.'



OF COURSE THEY NOTICED SHE WAS LYING AGAIN AND OF COURSE THEY BLAMED HER AGAIN!!! BUT I'M CURIOUS IF SHE WILL EVER LEARN OUT OF IT SO I WILL KEEP AN EYE ON HER!!!

What others posted:
"I'm not gonna lie. Some of them look like they were traced since they're distinctly different from your other drawing styles. Your Sesshomaru ones look traced and what hints to that is the sudden cut-off in the picture and it being dead-on straight. That's what usually hints to a tracing. That and the detail of the body structures in certain positions suddenly went from stiff and ridged to smooth and natural. I dunno if you're doing what I used to do in Middle School when I was no good with body layouts and just tracing the positions and whatnot just to see what you have to do and just to work on attire and appearance detail or if you were actually tracing to decieve.

Of course, I believe the first idea that you're just using it to practice 'cuz I used to do that all the time when I was real uncomfortable with body language and positioning and just felt like drawing hair, faces, and clothes."

What she answered: No they were not traced, I just cut it off because I was well drunk and lazy lol


lol Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, that sounds like it could be the solution to it all xD

Just thought I ight share my bemusement about the stupidity of some people xD
