Okey! Before I start this, I want to briefly thank you all for your answers in my previous journal.

1. What does your Deviantart name mean and why?
I just recently changed it and I already revealed the meaning behind the old one so let's talk about this one. Obviously after my persona *coughfursonacough* .

Hello deerlings. I have a question for you.

I have received a few comments saying that my style has changed and they miss my "old style". I'm gonna be honest, I have no idea what you people mean. I haven't noticed that big of a change in my style but that is me...  

Please, tell me what is so different in my current style? Is it because I use pen tool now more often? Please tell me WHAT works are done in this "old style" so I know. Please don't tell me you mean those old ass works that I made back then I only had pencil and paint shop pro to work with. Because those are ugly as sin!

HECK! I would love to know in general which of my styles is your favourite!
Is it the pen tool?,  [link]
Or the screenshot/1pixel?,  [link]
My "normal" freehand?, [link]
Traditional?, [link]
Or something more experimental! Tell me which of my works are your favourite because the drawing style! I want to know what style people like the most. Gives me an idea what you all would like to see the most in my future works. And please use example works (name or link) if you can because I am stupid like that.

Hello little deerlings!

Like I promised, I think it is finally time to let you know my personal account's name.
As the name says, this is an account where I post all original art. No fan art. There are some school and commission works too.

NOW! Don't expect too much. There still isn't much art there and it's mostly old stuff. And I do hope that if you choose to follow my personal account, you do it because you really want to see my original art. Not because you want to blindly favebomb everything I do. Thank you!

So, with no further ado, here ya go!

~Paper-Star-Zombie

((heh, some of you were clever enough to search my tumblr account name here and find me early))

Hello little deerlings!

Yes! I changed my username. I know! I know! I was BtG six years and people will be confused but I really wanted to change it! I don't regret it! I love my new name!

As you might guess, my new name is inspired by my new persona. (Tamarin is a monkey specie if you didn't know). I've been really wanting to make this place more personal.

As for my old name.... I think I it is time to reveal WHAT BtG stands for... Are you ready? BtG means:

Behind the Grave

Surprised? Here's little fun facts. Behind the grave is my original comic series I created when I was... 14 or 15? It was back then when I was still a HUGE The Nightmare Before Christmas fan and thus inspired by it, BtG is about characters named, Veruka Nocturn (living dead), Edna Ashburton (witch), Walter "Walt" Howard (wereworlf) and Danny the minidemon. (hmm.... how familiar).

Back then I used the comic name on internet because I liked it but now I feel that I should let the comic have the name.  

Speaking of my original works... I promise, I will reveal my personal account soon. (some of you were smart enough to find it already).

Thank you for reading, and please... Don't rage about something this minor. And feel free to come up with new nicknames. Or just call me by my real name, Jenna (or Jen).

Okay, I am confused... You all can see that I should still have 6 months of premium membership left. YET FOR SOME REASON I NO LONGER HAVE THAT?!

WHAT?! I am confused? DA! What are you doing?!
ALL THESE ADDS!! AAH!

And a side note, I'll be leaving today to celebrate Easter and my graduation with my family so I'll see how often I'll be able to visit DA. Happy Easter everybody!

EDIT: It was a glitch apparently. I logged out and back in and my premium membership is back! Yay! So if same happens to you, be sure to try that.

Anyway, since the subject got fixed so soon, let's talk about something else. I'll be leaving soon but I'll pick Luigi's Mansion 2 today! Can't wait! (apparently the first set that is released in Europe has covers that glow in dark. MUST GET).

But there is something I'd like to ask you people who already got the new mystery dungeon game. It won't come out here until May (so no spoilers please) and I plan to get it but there is one question I'd like to ask.

I've seen the demo gameplay and there is one thing that confuses me. Are there genders anymore? I didn't see any gender symbols in the demo and I was wondering if they removed them?

(wants so badly male snivy and male oshawott starters)

I just want to thank you all for your nice and positive comments on my last journal. I... really can't think anything else to say... I am just so thankful.

I'm feeling better now. Expect something Easter related in a moment!

Hello little *yaawn*. Uh! Sorry, I woke up early today. Thanks to my brother's dog, I've been waking up 6 a.m. These days..

Anyway, there are some things I want to talk about. In recent days, I've gotten quite many questions about Random Doom and when I am gonna update it and/or if I have stopped making it.  People ask this even in my group related art! Which I honestly find a bit rude....

Groups... I'll get back to them in a bit but I need to say something first... I am and I try to be very positive person. But honestly...  I've been feeling quite sad... Quite sometime. I know I don't show it and honestly I don't want to bother you people with my personal issues but... I've been feeling bad these days. And this is because of this whole Random Doom vs Group art. I LOVE the groups I am in and the people I have met through them and creating art for them is really enjoyable. But every single time I upload a new group art, I can HEAR the collected sighs and feel the disappointment of people who watch me because of my RD series. I know I shouldn't let that bother me but it does. I feel like I am letting so many people down...

People, there is not a single day in my life when I don't think about Random Doom and how I haven't updated it in ages. You don't need to remind me with comments like (and I quote) "why are you wasting your time and talent with something else than your pokemon comics".  

Let me make it clear. I have not forgot about Random Doom. I have not forgot about Black on White. I miss making comics for them and I hope to come back to them someday BUT I am not giving up groups either. Honestly, I love them and they WILL be my main activity here in DA from now on. Heck, I will be trying out for a new group this weekend so expect a new app soon.

I really hope you can respect that and please... If you watch me SOLELY for Random Doom and it bothers you how much group art I do these days... Well, maybe I am no longer worth following. You decide.

I would also want to apologize for one group of people. All those wonderful people who still write fan fictions for me. I've done a horrible job reading them. I've faved them and collected them so I could read them someday. I don't know if I can ever comment every single one of them but I want you all to know that I TRULY REALLY appreciate EVERY SINGLE fan fiction (and every fan work in general) you make. I swear I will someday sit on my lazy ass and read them!

*sigh* That's really what has been bothering me these days and I wanted to let that out of my chest. Thanks for reading and I really hope you guys enjoy all of my works.

Hello little deerlings!  BtG here with important stuff to tell.

I have some good news! I got a job! Yeah! Wohoo! I am now part of this GamePro project. The basic idea of this project is that I we get a study job in one local video game company and for the next seven months, we get to work with them and get some very interesting video game related study days. And of course, it's paid. The ultimate goal is to get a permanent job from your company in the end.

So, I got a job as a junior graphic designer in Sulake (they made Habbo hotel if you know that). Not sure what I'll be doing just yet but I'll know soon. My job starts tomorrow (Wednesday).

Now this obviously means that I won't be on DA that often anymore. You see, the past year or so I've been working as a freelancer artist from home which meant I could just hang in DA all day and draw on my free time. But now, that is obviously not the case anymore. I don't know how much this will affect my free time art but I know it will.

So yeah. Just wanted to let you know. Gosh I feel old... Getting a job and finally starting my own life and truly supporting myself. Which reminds me... I need to move again this year. I can no longer live in this student apartment since I am no longer student. Thankfully I am in no hurry yet.  

Anyway, thanks for reading!

Hello little deerlings! Missed me? *criketot sounds*

Uhum... Krohom... In case someone noticed, I've been away DA couple days. This was because I was SUPER busy with two important works. You see, currently I am trying to apply to this game project where I could get a study place in a video game company and even possibly a job once the project is over. I've been lucky enough to get an interview in two different places for a 2D/3D artist position. Part of the interviews were to do couple home tasks.  Thus, my last weekend and past few days have been nothing but drawing UI elements and rigging and animating a 3D character! Phew! Oh dear Blender was fun but also EXHAUSTING to relearn.

Anyway, I am finally done with those but i still need to concentrate on my graduation party... Need to make invitation cards for that... Oh man. March is REALLY exacting and busy  month for me. So please don't be alarmed if I don't answer notes or I'm not that active in this month.  

Thank you for reading and hope you are having a nice day!

Hey little deerlings!

Just some quick updates.

I've been quite busy last and this week. I had my final essay writing last Thursday and on Monday I had some paper work to do with school but now it is all done. I only need some signs from school and I have pretty much graduated! Wohoo!

I should get official paper about the end of this month.

So yeah... My final thesis work is done and actually readable on the net. So if you are interested to read how I try to sound like I know what I am talking about Facebook and making graphics for a Facebook game, feel free to read it: [link]

SORRY! Only in Finnish... But you can check it if you want to see pretty pictures. Or why not go and check the game itself!

[link]

Yeeah, most likely this is not your type of game but if you have a facebook account, feel free to check it. I drew pretty much 99% of the items you can buy in this game.  (plus some facebook material and UI stuff)
---------------------------------

I also had a interview today for a video game related work project! Let's hope it all goes well and I get called for the next round!
-------------------------

Phew! Keeping busy! I am also going to visit my good friend Ile this weekend and he'll be coming to meet me next week (AND WE'LL FINALLY BE ABLE TO SEE WRECK-IT-RALPH! GOD EUROPE FOR TAKING YOUR SWEET TIME!) so I might not be that active next couple weeks. I hope I can start those tutorials soon but don't expect anything too soon.

Thank you for reading!

Hey my little deerlings!

Remember that photoshop tutorial I mentioned long time ago I would do?
Well! I finally decided to start doing something about it! Last night, I wrote down a list of things I would like to talk about in it and I would like to tell you what I have planned. Because this will be multiple part tutorial, I won't be doing only one, but 3 or even 4 different tutorials.

Here are what I was planning to talk about in each part.

Part 1 - Getting to know Photoshop! Tips, tools and Tricks.

In this part, I would pretty much introduce you to photoshop and the tools that I use the most. I would teach you some of the most helpful tools and their shortcuts. Some words about layers and how to use them. And maybe something about filters and adjustments.

This is obviously not that important if you are already quite familiar with photoshop but you might learn something new. The main reason though is to make you familiar with some of the tools so I don't have to explain them in later parts.

Part 2 - General drawing tips.

I might put this together with part one... Depends how long it gets. But here I would tell you some tips on how to start and some pose and general drawing advices.

Part 3 - Lineart

Now here the main thing starts! Here, I show how I make my lineart. We would be concentrating on this style, [link] but the same tips I give here can be used in ANY lineart style.

Part 4 - Coloring + Finishing touches.

And the last part! Here I would show how I color my works. And maybe some finishing touches.

------------------------------

Also, I can't promise this but I would LOVE to make video tutorials going along these. It's one thing to write about these but seeing how it's done is also something else! I would love to do real time videos of me sketching, drawing and coloring one simple work so you get the idea how I work. Remember, I can't promise this but I'll do my best to get the video versions too. They would be like those speedpainting videos people do in youtube. Except, without the speed. I want you to be able to see and follow what I do.

I hope you really like this! And now I need to start working on this! Now that I wrote this journal, I really can't back off.

Hello, just a quick question about youtube.

For some reason, when I watch youtube videos in full screen, the screen is black but the audio works just fine. Videos work fine in small scale. This seems to happen in Firefox... Chrome works fine.

Just asking if anyone else have experimented the same problem? Full screen videos worked just fine two days ago and suddenly, no more. It annoys me when I don't know why. I already tried to reinstall Flash... Any ideas?

Edit: Heheh, I love this. This is what youtube's and adobe's help center has to say about the issue:

"Flash Player videos stop playing when you change the video's resolution to full-screen mode.
This is a known issue on some computers with Intel HD Graphics when runing Internet Explorer 9."

BUT I AM USING FIREFOX!!!

Edit: Anyway, I need to go soon. Thanks for all the tips and ideas so far. I have no idea what is causing this but since it only happens in youtube, it might be one of their many glitches. I can hope it suddenly fixes itself just like it suddenly started.

Meanwhile, I'll just watch my daily dose of Let's Plays in slightly bigger screen... I watch them mostly for the commentary anyway.

AND NOW EVERYTHING WORKS PERFECTLY ALL THE SUDDEN!

Don't get me wrong I am eternally happy but I have no idea WHAT was fixed. About an hour ago the full screen was still broken but now... Just perfectly fine! WhatisthisIdon'teven?!

I suppose it was a youtube glitch. So I am sorry that I don't have any tips for those of you who had the same problem. But thanks to everyone who gave me advices and ideas. It's great to see there are so many helpful people here.

Hello little deerlings!

Jenna here! Spreading over the Internet! Now You can follow me in other places!

Just letting you guys know that I have started to tweet again (hopefully). I was quite surprised to see that I still had over 200 followers on my twitter account. Those who don't know (remember), I tweeted my Japanese White playthrough and pretty much forgot about it after that. Now, I thought get back to just randomly tweeting. So if for some reason you feel like hearing what ungodly things I am doing, feel free to follow me.

[link]

And I have also made a new tumblr account! This will be for all sorts of random doodles and whatnots from me. Fan art AND personal. You have no idea how often I get silly doodle ideas that I want to do but I don't because I don't feel like they are "DA worth". This will be a place for them. And me, generally chilling and being me.  

I'll be also uploading all my 6th gen art there until I move them here. But since I am also trying to avoid ANY new pokemon related news, you won't likely see me drawing anything else but the new starters and the legendaries. But I will be interested in new features in the game and might discuss about them there.  

Here's the link: [link]

One of my promises for myself this year has been to come out of my hermit shell and stop being so modest. I don't usually post stuff about myself because I have this "I don't want to bother people. I don't think anyone wants to hear what I am doing or thinking". way of thinking about myself.  I hope to become more braver and not worry too much what others think about.

Cheers! Hopefully you'll enjoy my stuff elsewhere as much as you have liked here. Thank you all!

Just watched the pokemon direct.

6 gen confirmed! New pokemon games, Pokemon X and Pokemon Y confirmed on 3DS. Will be released INTERNATIONALLY on October 2013.

I don't know about you guys but I AM EXCITED! I'm not even gonna care how many people will be whining about the looks of new pokemon. I don't even care!  *freaks around the house*

Edit Okay, maybe I could give more comments.

The game looks awesome. For so long I have wanted to play fully 3D pokemon RPG game (and no, don't mention Colosseum or XD). It looks beautiful... The 3D battles... The game look awesome.

Now the new pokemon... Let's start with the legendaries. Not much to comment about the flying thing but that other one... MAN, what a beautie.

And of course, the starters! I really like them. I think I'll go with the water one (for real! First time ever I am gonna choose water over the others). Grass one is cute. And man the fire... I bet it's gonna be the new fan favourite.

Anyway, since the games are coming this soon. I am going to do the same as I did with Black and White. I try to avoid any possible spoilers there is. Because playing through Black and white blind was one of the best experiments I had had in a long time, I am going to do the same with X and y. So, my promise to you guys, I won't be doing ANY art of the new pokemon until the games are out. So you won't find any spoilers from my gallery.

Anyway. Very excited and got dammit! Sixth gen is coming! I need to start Black on White comic like NOW!  (it was suppose to be tribute to 5th gen!)

Hello my little deerlings!  Some big news!

The first full week of year 2013 has started and this time has made think and reflect on my life.

The year 2013, will be probably one of the most important of my life so far. I will graduate officially soon which means I am no longer student but a grown up woman who needs to support herself. This means I need to find a job, get my own apartment... Yaya! AGAIN I have to move... Thankfully not too soon but... Most likely next Autumn.  Yes very important year indeed. Time to become a responsible and productive member of society. Phhhthphlol.

This means I really need to start looking for myself. I have already updated my portfolio, made a new email address for work related business etc.... I might even start my own trade name! I have also FINALLY started to upload art to my personal DA account. That is an account where I only post my original art. I won't give the account name yet so please be patient. I will reveal it later.

I also need to start a new hobby. Whole year 2012 felt like I sat at home, working in front of a computer. Seriously! Lately, I've been feeling that ALL I think about is art! Art! Art! ART! I need something else in my mind. Thankfully, my good friend promised to purchase me a introduction class for a special yoga class. I'll try it and hopefully it will feel like something I like to continue.

And last...  man... When I said this year would be important and life changing... Oh man... On Christmas... My brother... Gave us some wonderful news. He and his wife.... They are having a baby this summer...

Guys and gals... I am gonna be an aunt!

Hey deerlings!

I hope you all had a great Holiday! I sure did.

Just a quick heads up that I'll be leaving today to celebrate New Year with my father and I won't be back until Tuesday. And since my father's computer is... Eh well... lacking in power. I Won't be online, AT ALL during this trip. So don't be alarmed if you send/ask me something and I don't answer immediately. I'll try to get online on Monday so I can post my annual New Year pic but there is a chance it will be little late and I'll put it up on Tuesday instead. No biggie.

And I have a question. Recently, I have noticed that some deviations have been disappearing/missing from my inbox. This happens with pictures that are featured in multiple groups.

Example, someone posts his/her related picture also in . It is in "pokemonevolved" stack list but NOT in PKMNC's deviation stack list. This caused me lot's of confusion at first because I like to check all pkmnc related art in their own list thus I usually just skim through them in pkmn-evolved group's stack list and then I end up missing a lot deviation until I noticed they were in PKMNC's galleries after all.

So... Has anyone else who are in these two groups (or in any other groups) noticed the same thing happening? Or is just my inbox screwed?

Hello little winter deerling!

Just letting you know that I'll be leaving next Saturday to visit my mother for Christmas thus this means I won't be online as much as I am usually. I'll be back on Thursday (27.12) but then I'll leave again on Saturday (29.12) to spend New Year with my father.  So, I won't be online as much as I
have been recently for the rest of the year.

This obviously means that I won't able to do that much digital art. Maybe traditional.... But no worries. I have THREE lovely pictures planned and ready for Christmas eve so you can expect those. I'll also do my best to continue the snowball war through traditional art (Go delibirds!). And of course, those who have followed me long enough, know what to expect on New Year.

So yeah, RD bio update art is on small break until January but I'll get right back to it after the holidays!

So yeah! Merry Christmas and happy Holidays everybody!  

My deerlings!

I just got back home....

IT'S OVER! The presentation is done for!!!  

And guess what? It went GREAT. I wasn't nervous. I didn't mess the words. Heck! I had so much to say that my teacher had to remind me I had only 5 minutes left! And people asked me questions after it. They actually were interested!

Iih! I'm so happy! This part is finally done and all that is left is to register that I am ready to graduate and do this simple essay test (to make sure it was I who actually wrote the thesis and not someone else for me) and then.... I'll be a "Bachelor of culture and arts". Hmm... Sounds so charming in English.

Thank you all who wished me good luck! Now let's party!

(I'll post another journal about the game itself later)

Hello little deerlings!

Remember that bachelor thesis I've been talking about this whole year? Well, it is finally time to end things! I just got an email from my teacher that I can come and give my presentation of the thesis THIS Thursday!  I have two days to put up a max of 15 minute presentation about making graphics for a Facebook game.

So I better get started! Thankfully I already have finished the 37 pages long thesis so I just need to pick the parts I want to talk about but... Damn! I'm really nervous about holding presentations, but man am I ready to get this thesis done for good!

So wish me luck! It will be all over this Thursday!  
*goes to plan if I should finish important collab first so I can concentrate on this for the rest of the time or start with this*

Update! Alright! I have my 20 slides long power point presentation ready for tomorrow! I think I am good to go!

I wasn't even that worried about making the presentation but I am still nervous about giving the speech. But you know what? As I was making it, I was genuinely excited. I was actually proud of what I had done and I actually want to tell people what kind of experiment this project has been and I am  little excited and eager to do this presentation. Huh? First time for everything I suppose.

Thank  you all who wished me luck! And I'll be sure to give you guys a link to the game tomorrow when I am done with this so you can go and check it and even try it if you want.

Hey! Just a quick question to fellow photoshop users.

I accidentally presses some keyboard button which created this strange mark on my work file:

[link]

It doesn't do anything and doesn't really cause any problems but it annoys me that I don't know what it is and I can't get rid of it. Does anyone know what tool made this so I can get rid of it?

Edit Well that was fast. Thanks for the answers. It was the pipet tool and I was able to drag it off the canvas while holding ctrl. Thanks!
