Dia's Corner - News from The Boss

[Antidia]

Here's what I got done today:

- cert corrections on all children pae adding their power
- posted the powers to announce them for the remaining children

and yes, that took me several hours to do. xp

Agenda for 4.4.6
-color and grow Pea
-make Shiz's journal
-finish Tiffs line edits to send back to Ala
-lineart Jazz
-post both quests

--- my muther has been on the warpath lately, so IRL comes first if she decides to jump in and keep me off my computer. So if I don't do anything on this list, it will just have to wait till tomorrow.  

[Antidia]

I did good, got most of what I needed to done.

New list for 4-8-06:
- color and grow Zhaunil
- draw Shiva's toddler stage and grow her
- make the swirlies stage for Jazz and Tiff for when the quest finishes
- draw Greed's bling
- work on tidying up the shading templates

And if I can get around to it, I need to work on a new map of Telrunya, or find an artist that can do it for me.  

[Antidia]

O....M...G...

The dates I write these growings under represent the soonest they are ELIGIBLE to grow. Sometimes it takes longer for various reasons. This is being posted so people will know their pae is coming up and will grow soon.

Yes its color coded, but its for my use only. And yes, Cosplay pae take longer to grow because I have to DRAW each stage.

I'm behind while I work on Genies for the Arabian Nights shop. I'm making shading templates and because the linearts to those are rather complicated, its a huge task. Takes all day, mostly 2, to do only one template.

[Antidia]

I think keeping those lists is what is killing me. I get very discouraged whenever I finish a task and come to strike it out, only to see that it wasn't on the list in the first place...

So for now on, my To-Do list that I post here won't be so much a list of stuff that I need to do ASAP, but a list of stuff to remind needs to be done soon.

Right now, I'm taking a slight break from the line edits for the standing demon femme (to make her preggy & fix some proportion problems) to post this. So Starry & Dameon's expecting pic should be done soon, as its my current project.

When its done, I will probably go to bed. But when I get up, my tentative plan is to work on the 4 hairstyles I need to draw to get the item shop caught up.

After that, I will work on Sayuri's custom, then grow Lirael and Emily.

THEN I really gotta finish that Marid girl. I'm about half done with her, but totally unmotivated to work on her. -_-;

When I get bored with any of these tasks, I will just work on Minis for Sully. Minis are fun, not work, so I always want to work on those. Except the Mini from Hell. I don't like it. >.>;;;  

[Antidia]

Tis Sunday, I'm putting up a new To-do list. hahaha

I'm gonna edit out the stuff that keeps lingering that is not a priorty. A shorter list might help. >.>; Things in RED are from last list, still needing to be done.

Growings:
- Lucius (wait)
- Lucia (wait)
- Emily (need to edit & color)
- Montana (need to get colored stages from ala)

Breedings:
- *dies* there are non to color that are priority @_@

Customs:
- Roddy McMay's girl (will get to this soon, I'm not putting it off or forgetting)

Item Shop:
- Anila's new hair
- Cala's new hair

Other:
- Finish Kymo

FOR OTHER SHOPS

LM:
- Sabine's edits (finally got her fullsize art so I can now)
- Shade Nemo's mini (@_@)

AN: (Hige said no rush, as he doesn't have all the linearts yet, so I'm not pushing myself on these)
- Marid Girl template
- Lamp 5
- Bottle 1
- Bottle 2
- Dao Wisp

GoGo:
Email Caroline with the ones I can't do (yay for less stuff to worry about!)

Commission:
- Surion's young adult stage for GMFC

This list actually looks a helluva lot less daunting than it did last week. I will do the custom first, then growings, Item shop stuff second. If anyone takes me up on the Custom slots for Sealed Letter bribes, I will slide those in as priority. (I needs me some Sealeds *whine*) Then I will work on Kymo. In between those, I will crank out Sully's stuff and then I think I'm set. It actually looks like I can relax this week. I may just set up that flatsale I've been wanting to hold. hehe

Blue items are recently added as of 5/16
Deleted finished tasks 5.19.6  

[Antidia]

I'm really sorry folks, but recent events have really put a HUGE damper on my desire to finish things.

I am going to get things done, I promis y'all that. I would never just abandon anything. All I'm sayin is that things are going to be slow for now. Its better, in my opinion, if things slow down, instead of me putting the shop on haitus. This will probably be short lived, but for the next few days, the things I had planned to finish, will be delayed.

Growings will occur in order, so they ALL will be behind. The only exception is cosplays. Those will grow AFTER the other growings because I have to do a LOT more work to them and I tend to get the easier stuff done and out of the way first.  

[Antidia]

I am leaving off stuff that I seem to just carry over each week and don't get to. =  

[Antidia]

I post this message with a heavy heart. But its something I need to do.

I'm taking a 2 week personal haitus. I won't be completely gone, I'll still be flitting around reading up on things, but I won't be working on any pae...unless I WANT to, or the inspiration hits me.

Some pretty heavy stuff went down last night, and I just need time to recollect my thoughts and emotions. I'm sorry if anyone is disappointed, but the RL drama llama did bite hard.

Torvil, Lenore, Krista, Ala and Spooky will still be around, doing shop things. If you have questions or concerns, you're free to ask them if I am not here.

Thank you, I love you guys so much! I will back soon. heart  

[Antidia]

Thank you everyone for having patience with me! heart

In the works and hopefully able to be done this MONTH:

- familars released officially
- item shop opened
- customs opened
- breeding opened
- new poses/linearts for adults and children
- current plot wrapped up so the new one can start in July  

[Antidia]

NOTE: ALL cosplay pae will be delayed for several weeks on their growing!

I can color just fine, but still getting back into drawing has proven frustrating, so I'm gonna take a little more time with that. I would rather your next stage Cosplay pae be delayed and looking good, then rushed and looking like crap. I apologize for anyone waiting on their pae to grow.  

[Antidia]

I am still on haitus sort of, that is .... I can't be back full time until I can figure out how to juggle the demands of my homelife. I am limited in my online right now, but I am trying to get things done.

Thank you for your patience!

I do hope y'all like the events coming up in June!
