Hello those who are still... well... checking back! If you have, i appriciate it, and if not, its totally understandable. I got a little lost and distracted with all the work ive been handed recently. Not only has school been racking up the work, but for some strange reason I took on another job (Thats two jobs now X_x). Bills must get paid somehow i suppose hahaha.

Now another reason why its been so long since ive updated is because my computer is slowly but surely making its way to needing some repairs or being replaced all together. Though apple has assured me that the slowness its overcoming is probably because of how old it is (4 lovely years), its still pretty frustrating to deal with. Not so much the online browsing and typing as much as drop down menus, uploading, and searching though my images. So its been a real kick in the butt to update anything i usually do that is art related. I bought myself an external hard drive finally in fear of the day it wont want to boot up again. Better safe than not! On a lighter note, im trying to give visuals to my characters to make it easier to search images of done of them and give the viewer a better understanding of personality etc that ive been working with on them for the past decade or so. Win!

I do believe that is all i have to say though at the moment. A craft link will soon be up too, showing images of Ceramic, Jewelry and Sculpture images ive done. As well as anything done hands on like that. Ive got all the images... i just have to painfully upload them hahahaha. So now that the semester is coming to a close REALLY REALLY SOON!!!! *sigh of relief* I will be up and working on this more often! Happy Holidays from the Fazzzzzle!
Cheers!

Thunderstorms are heading my way! In a way this means that it could effect my productiveness, like the heat has done today, but also could help me out alot too since it will make things cooler.

Whats new around the site? Nothing yet! But i was browsing for something to easily display my sketchbook pages without too much clicking. I was going for a slideshow page turning effect. Most of the programs though are for Windows or cost some sort of money that I dont have at the moment. Im going to do my best though to update this once or more a week. I was thinking atleast once every Wednesday to keep a consecutive schedule for myself and hopefully that will encourage me to draw atleast one very nice image a week, and sometimes more! Because there are those days where I just cant put my pencil down!

Giving a thanks out to my Deviant Watchers on DeviantArt.com for rejuvinating my passion to draw and keep at it! I appreciate the support from everyone from family, friends, appreciators, and my mentors! You all have helped me out so much and I encourage anyone to give your comment or critique on my work. All is appreciated. And Thank You All!!!

So please, stay dry, stay cool and keep checking back :D ...pwease. ^^

Alright! Making more progress! I decided to personalize the page a bit more to my general style. Its an easy on the eye kind of color and distinctly displays my main character "Fazzle" who helped me start all of this. By inventing her I managed to create other characters and magically was sucked into this wonderful world of creating art. Fazzle was created back in 2002 (possibly 2001, hard to say) when I stumbled across a roleplaying website for wolf characters called "Wolf Mountain" (link is under the affiliates) and from there generations of her emerged and with it my love to draw. So in a way, its all related!

In fact its so related that my main plot is to have that specific character, travel in and outside of the internet. Either interacting with other people's characters, her own family, or in the reality world of mountains and rivers, I'll set her out on this exciting journey and step by step we can view her story! There will be a link soon among the others that will read "Follow Fazzle!" that will shows the various images. So please stay tuned! :D

On another note, please realize that I am still working on getting all the images up, so keep checking back!!! :D

Cheers! -Shlee ( and the infamous Fazzle that is NOT a search engine. please remember that. but... hopefully she will be able to be searched XD)

An extra thank you to Jp and his buddy for helping me out with the layout that was giving me such a hard time!!!! <3 appriciate it!!!!

As for anything else, slowing down a bit but still diligently working on the site as well as any images. I gave my main character [Fazzle] a complete overhaul on color and now am working with different colors for light and shadow to create moods and atmospheres. All the images I wanted scanned have now been scanned with the bastard of all scanners. My mentor slapped it down on a table and made it perform with a few tricks! Its a great idea, but the product just needs worked on. Apparently it is discontinued now and i want to feel happy about that but if they would have just worked with it more, im sure graphic people everywhere would love to have one.

Thats about it for today... Ill have sketches up soon from my new sketchbook first, that will have some Psych. of Creativity assignments in it but overall... fun and interesting ideas. Stick around and keep checking back!

Cheers, Shlee.

My loverly friend Amber is helping me create a preloader for my portfolio page! I still have to figure out why the fonts in the flash file are a bit off to what I made them. I do believe that is about it for now though. Contact page is up! Feel free to bug me!

Cheers! - Shlee

The portfolio page DOES infact work. The only thing thats missing is a "Pre-loader" which I have yet to create once i find a computer with flash to add onto my portfolio. That way people will be able to actually see a loading process instead of a blank box for 10-15 minutes. So if you want to wait around and take a peak, please feel free. Just excuse the fact that some of the fonts are not universal and therefore are brought back to something more universal so some of the graphically nice things i did... really got screwed up. But thanks for stopping by! Keep checking back!

Cheers! -Shlee
