So I'm really curious to know if any of you guys would actually be interested in buying cute/kawaii products from me. In my last couple of posts, I have been mentioning all the things I'll be creating, and so I'm just wondering how many people would actually buy from me before I put a lot of time and effort into making everything. I'm also planning on making buttons as well. My charm design deviations are what I have on my list to make and sell too. So when I get everything up and running, let me know!!

Hey everybody, I thought I would take the chance to set up a formspring account. If you don't know what that is, it's basically a website where you set up a profile and have people ask you questions. I thought it would be fun to know if you guys have any questions in particular that you would like to ask whether it's about my art or my personal life in general (but not too personal). My account is formspring.com/midnitehearts. Have fun!!

Okay so I've been having a hard time deciding on some things. For some unknown reason, I've been compelled to do more fanart (something I don't particularly do) and ever since I finished the Sailor Senshi, I've been debating whether to do Chibi Moon and/or Tuxedo Mask. Any input? Also is there anything cute and sweet that you would like to see more of that's not in my gallery? If so, let me know.

So I've been getting pretty serious about my art and doing lots of designing lately, and I've noticed that most of them are so cute and adorable, that I'd love to have them lying around my house. Not only that, but I've been noticing some of my favorite artist on here turning their designs into notebooks, bags, etc. And in my last journal post I was pretty hyped to design some charms (which I still am planning to do). But since it's so expensive to have them made into charms, I'll have to put that on hold for the moment. Everything else I eventually want to get done soon. Here's a list of what I'm planning on turning my designs into.

*Charms (earrings, phone charms, rings, necklaces) will be professionally printed. The charms will be designed by me and printed on laser cut acrylic plastic.

*Notebooks (notebook covers will be designed by me and professionally printed onto notebooks)

*Bookmarks (will probably be professionally printed or printed by me)

*Stationary (printed by me)

*Stickers (will be printed by me and later professionally done)

I've already found reliable and legit websites through most of the popular artists, that some of my designs will need to be professionally executed for, and prices are really affordable. I'm really excited . So yeah the printing companies are safe and secure, since well known artists like MoogleGurl, Celesse, and MieMie-chan3 just to name a few also use them. They're super popular here on dA

Later in the future, I'm hoping to eventually sell what I make, but first I have to get really popular otherwise I'll have useless merchandise lying around and not sure how to get rid of it >_<.

Okay so I'm just itching to make some charms. I had the inspiration about a year ago, but just never had the cash to fund the idea. I was planning on making rings, necklaces, earrings and cell phone charms and also be selling them! And with my upcoming school refund I'll finally be able to do it. I'll be making a mock-up of Halloween charms since it'll be October soon, but I don't know when I'll have them made. I found this very reliable site (a dA member uses them) and their prices are very fair. 100 charms for $100!

There are just some basic requirements. Here's the link.  [link]

Here's another link for the overview of acrylic charms such as the pricing for the charm sizes, how to submit your designs etc. [link]

This is also a nice and reliable website to print designs onto t-shirts: [link]

In addition to making charms, I'm also looking into designing notebook covers. All I'll have to do is send my designs with the right requirements and the company I found will print it on the notebook I ordered and send it back to me. So I'm looking forward to that too.

So I'm thinking about and hopefully planning on making some bookmarks (original of course, though I might do fanart). I'm also going to come up with some T-shirt designs, since I've been wanting to do some for the longest. And if is as good with screen printing, that would be lots of help too. I plan on doing a few more wallpapers for my desktop. I'm finally going to break out my Prismacolor set and actually put them to some good use instead of having them sit in my shoe box. . Hopefully I'll get some if not all of what I mentioned completed during my break from school before I have to go back. And also somewhere down the line in a few months, I plan to start making some jewelry. I've been wanting to do this for a super long time, but just didn't have the supplies. Maybe this time I will!! Hoping for a productive break!

So I've been watching s4t and Mitzumi for the longest now and I know that s4t has been super busy knocking out drawing after drawing, and I've seen a little of Mitzumi's new stuff as well. And I've got to say that I've been itching to do something for the longest, but I either don't have the time of the motivation to draw anything. But I suppose that watching their new stuff float into my inbox every now and then should give me some sort of jump start on my own art, because now I've come to realize that it's not lack of time (I have plenty of that since I only have 3 days of school, soon to be 2 starting next quarter). But it's more of lack of motivation and watching s4t's stuff makes me want to draw even more!!! So whether it's digital or traditional, I will have something posted soon. Thank goodness my quarter is almost over in early Sept, I'll have time to dedicate. I'm thinking of going back and re-doing some old character designs, I may even draw out some characters that I never wrote a story for. Just depends on how I'm feeling.

So much to do is so little time. First thing is to finish my 2nd project for my Typography class, and not only that, but get started on Project 3 of that class...all due by this Wednesday *sighs* And to top all of that off the woman from a graphic tees company, wants me to review some notes from her top designer, so I gotta do that, plus the assignment she gave me,  which is due by Wednesday or Thursday, hopefully no later than that. Can't wait for my break, so I'll have more time dedicate to my internship.
