Mmn. Can anyone read Japanese? D:

Argh! Damn. Of all the languages I’ve picked to learn, I chose Russian.

Seems like just recently, everything I try to buy winds up on some obscure, unreadable, hiragana/katakana website. True, I suppose I don’t really need a tailcoat…but it’d be nice, wouldn’t it? Hell, I’m not even sure why I want one…or why I also seem to be chasing after clothes stylised in the 1800s look. I guess I’m just fed up with the whole mainstream ‘dress like a carbon copy of everyone else’ theme. ‘Tis not really my desire to dress modern. I’ve never really been fond of well, anything in the 90s-00s. And seriously. Who wouldn’t want to own a corset? They’re pure awesomeness.

Annnyhow. Random blog post. Yar. Tail coat search is failing miserably, leading me to obscure foreign websites…likewise with the steampunk quests. And in addition, I seem to be falling short of ways to get my Deviant-watchers to pay even the slightest bit of attention. True, they’re not all backing out on me…but…It feels more and more lately, as though people are passing over me and disregarding everything I say. It’s doubtful that I’ll sell anything this time around either. I think a reduction of dignity might be in order…I might have to appeal to the target audience (which, I assure you, was NOT intended) to sell my Death Note stuff, at least. It’s eating space in my cupboards upstairs. Space I need for original sketches. Well…I either turn “Kawaiidesune” on the anime-esque, or I turn to commissioning…and the latter gives me serious migraines.

Hm. I’m drawing to a close with my constant sketching. College tomorrow…perhaps I’ll get one or two more done for my deadline of the end of the month. (Yes, I’m talking illustrations here.) I have a whole 29 to do – one for each chapter in the first novel. I must be on…17? 17, I think. So I’ve done 18 of them, approximately. Which leaves me with another 11 – another 2 or three ‘Parts’ to complete. As I said in my DA journal, it’s looking to be somewhere between 300 to 400 pages after all this…so temporarily self-published, it’ll be about £15/book. It’s only a beta copy. If I get positive feedback, I might consider throwing away the £1000 and getting a publishing deal…with the help of crazed saving and a couple of temporary loans within the family. But I’ll have to wait and see. Thinking about thowing my e-mail in there, for the sake of it, so people can leave me comments if they so please. But then…it’s doubtful that I wont really know where they’re from. I doubt anyone will buy it, if they’re not aware of me first.

-facepalm- Here’s hoping. Maybe I’ll get lucky and be able to pay for a translator. XD (LOL ASIF.)

Wow. Fairly long rant. Didn’t even get to mention the frustrating week I’ve had. But then, you’re not into that, are you? I’ll leave you with a few sketches and ideas for the novel print-out that I’ve shown to Ava and Rosie. Then it’s back to finishing the commentary on my Pro-Solipsism rant.
