Where have I been?

Hi everyone! By this time, you're probably wondering, where the heck has Purple been? It's been just
7 days since I've posted yet, it feels so long.
The thing is, my computer is upstairs and the second story of our house has a different internet connection. That internet connection has been a pain recently. It turns on for like, a minute or two and then shuts down all by itself. That's why I can't really get on my computer to post.
You're probably like, "Well, then just bring the fricken' computer downstairs!" or "Just use your laptop to post!" Well, if I brought my computer downstairs, I'd spend more time on it and I don't want to get my grades down this session. I don't like using laptops because 1. The keyboard is hard to get used to. 2. It can be hard for a desktop user to switch to such a small screen. 3. My laptop heats up really easily. 4. It is slow because my aunt has a million things downloaded/made on it. I do get on AJ sometimes on it just because AJ gives me life. :inhales:

These little excuses aren't the only reason I can't post. You see, I don't really post those simple "hey, this is the item." or "wow, sheep are here wow much surprise". If you couldn't tell by now, my recent posts have all been original ideas. (I'm not saying my posts are amazing.) These ideas are very hard to come up with. I can't just ask my brain to come up with a fun post idea and receive it in a second. Sometimes, I don't get any ideas at all for weeks unless I find inspiration. I may be an inactive blogger but I try my best to bring you guys fun content in my posts, even if these posts aren't as frequent. I really hope you understand my absence.

Moving on to the more postive side of things... I finally got a membership on Animal Jam! Remember that giveaway I won on YouTube? Well, I finally received the prize on Wednesday and it was a three month membership! Please don't think I'm bragging, I just wanted to share my happiness with you all! <3

I hope you understand my lack of posts. Bye!

Reviewing Animal Jam Blogs part 2: The Weekly Jammer News + The Animal Jam Legendary Palooza

Hi guys! TGIF, am I right? :P I'm back yet again with another part of R.A.J.B. (Reviewing AJ Blogs) If you're not familiar with this series, I'll explain! So basically, I take all the blogs on my ''Other Blogs'' tab and put them in an online word picker (search them up if you don't know what they are), then, I review the blog that the website picks for me. I actually give the deciding wheel 3 spins, IDK why. Please do know that if your blog isn't on my Other Blogs tab, then I won't be able to include you in this. You can just comment your blog name and URL on the tab and I'll add it, it's easy! :D

Anyways, the blogs that the website picked for us this time were The Weekly Jammer News and The Animal Jam Legendary Palooza. :D Let's do it, then!

The Weekly Jammer News!

The Weekly Jammer News, run by the one and only Swirlshine, is one of my favorite blogs! Swirl is great at writing posts. The template of the blog is simple yet so amazing. The header, especially, is outstanding! There are so many amazing tabs to read, my favorites being ''About Me'', ''Art'' and ''Art by Others''. She is the writer of  Jamaasian Middle, a story about us Bloggers going to Middle School. I love it! Her posts are all so unique and fun to read. 
The Weekly Jammer News is an awesome blog that surely deserves a lot more viewers, so check it out if you haven't! 

  
Oh my, another great blog! Where do I start? Run by Violet86271, TAJLP is a very fun and active Animal Jam blog. Violet is a great person to be friends with, she is also a great artist! The templates always rock! The posts have info about daily items, fun quizzes and so much more! :D She hosts a lot of fun contests too. I suggest you to join her recent ''Design a Signature'' contest if you like designing. I love seeing her art in the posts! :D 
You should definitely start reading this blog because it's super amazing! 

--------------------------------------------------------
Alright, that's all! Please don't feel bad if your blog doesn't get reviewed in this series. There's always a next time right? 
Also, question time! What do you think my art is worth (in AJ items)? I've been thinking about opening commissions since art takes a really long time. For now, I'm keeping free requests on though, whenever I feel like my art has improved a bit, I will try opening up commissions. :3

Anyways, bye! Have a great day and I'll see you all next time!

Really Tiny Art Dump

Hello there! :3 It's me again, the Blogger that never posts. Sorry... I still haven't thought of any good ideas for posts, but I still want to post something. Even if that something is as little as whatever I'm gonna do in this post.

Oh and I might not have school this whole week. That's good, I guess. lol
I had a few drawings and stuff that I wanted to show you guys. If you're new to this blog; please know that I don't know how to art. (intended bad grammar)
Let's get roooooiiiiiiiiiight into the news drawings...?!


I drew this on my I-pad using Medibang Paint. I had to do this with my finger because I don't have a Stylus. R.I.P It was my first time using Medibang Paint, so I had a hard time figuring out the tools. It's a really good app for drawing, though! :D I drew this after preparing for my last exam, which was of an easy subject. The drawing is very imperfect so I'm not using this as my profile picture, for sure.


This is for AJKraft who requested her snow leapord's drawing through the forum. (before it was closed) I'm not happy about how the colored pencil part came out. I'm very frustrated about my skills with colored pencils. No matter how hard I try, it comes out very scribbly.
Despite the pencil fail, I had a lot of fun drawing you, Kraft! Sorry for being late though!

You're probably like: WHAT HAPPENED PURPLE?! WHY DID YOU SHOVE THIS EYE BURNING PIECE OF CRAP AT US????
Guys, gimme a break. Right when CanineClaw AJ requested a drawing of my OC Bubblegum in October, I drew it and was unable to post it earlier. So, this is from October, it's kinda old. I'm looking at it right now and the anatomy is so bad, like, wth.

I know I said ''Drawing with a mouse is a sin in Purple world'' in a post, but sometimes, you just have to work with what you've got. It was tough drawing with a mouse, but I developed this new style where there is a solid color and no outline. I'm sorry for saying this, but... I'm kinda proud of this style. Hey, it doesn't hurt to like your own work from time to time, right? I drew another thing in this style, but it would be better to post when the time comes. ;D 
(By saying I like this style, I'm not saying that I like the drawing overall. The drawing is actually very messed up, honestly.)

This one could use work, but it's okay. The head looks weird, but it's a style in the AJ art community so deal with it. lol I was planning on making this my profile picture and then I thought, ''Hey, people would've liked it better digitally.'' I hate when people prefer digital art over traditional art. The scenario goes like this.
Instagram: New art contest, join now or die lol.
Me: Oh yay! :grabs art supplies:
:reads contest's rules:
''Would prefer digital art.''
Me: :throws art supplies in trashcan: 
I can't even.



Woo, IRL pics... Ft. My hand (which is very dirty in the pic because I had just finished making the figure)
*I'm sorry for spamming you guys with my wolf, I just love her so much. XDDD*
So, I made this clay figure yesterday. I'm not a pro at clay sculpting (not intending on becoming good at it anyways) so I just accept what I come up with and go with the flow. 
I only have white clay so I had to dye it, which made it hard to match up the colors.
------------------------------------------------------------
I hope you guys like this post, tell me if you'd like to see more art dumps in the future! 


Until next time!
Bye!

Writer's Block + Opening Art Requests!

If you're wondering why I haven't been posting, well, the answer is...


in the title. lol get rekttt

Yeah, I'm on a writer's block. I'm all out of ideas for posts. Everything I get an idea for has already been done or has something wrong with it. Why did I have to lose my mind during Winter break when I actually have the time to post?! My school is starting from January 9th and I really hope my school takes it slow on us students this month, but since I won't have tests, I will be able to post, yaaaay *intense enthusiasm (jk)*
I wanted to release another ''Everything Wrong with Animal Jam'', but I simply don't have enough sins for it. rip

I really wanted to post an ''Art Dump'', but I'll be honest: I'm not proud of my art these days. All the humans I draw have really bad proportions and I haven't been drawing AJ animals too much.

To improve my art, I decided to open the Art Requests form that I made a few months ago again. You guys can request any drawing of your animal if you want. Here's a link:
        https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScIxmb9XmTEe4fYt6gATLyhCriVY3zNN_iYsjNTlCWJBuWS-Q/viewform

It's free as long as you aren't requesting more than 1 animal. Sorry...?


Well, cya guys later, bye!
<3
P.S: If you requested a drawing before the form was closed, I'll complete that too. :D

Happy 2017!

Hi guys! I'm sorry for disappearing for a week when I said I'd only go for 3 days. We were unable to go to my uncle's house on Monday, plus the internet went out. We spent our Tuesday to Friday at my uncle's. Once I was back (Friday afternoon), the wifi hadn't gotten any better. Stayed the same way yesterday too. Sorry for the lack of posts!

Anyways, it's 2017 already! I can't believe it. 2016 went by so fast. I could say it was a good year, but school was super torturing due to harder studies.
Although, I changed a lot. Both in a good way and bad way. I got stressed out easily and I was pretty, uh, aggressive this year... I did turn a bit mature, so that's good. I also started drawing more passionately. I really hope I improve with my drawings this year. >,<

I made so many new friends on the internet too! For example, Swirlshine, Cuddly, Me_and_my_art_world, Lostfairy, PrincessBG, Kraft and others! I'm so, super glad I did! ;D

Moving on, how has my first day of 2017 gone so far? AMAZING. I won a giveaway on a Youtube account, and I can either get an AJ membership or AJ toys! I know you're probably going, ''DONUT TRUST MEMBERSHIP GIVEAWAYS :screams:''  XD I trust this youtuber completely. She's going to send the membership card or toy through mail, so I'm safe.

I hope you all have a great year. Eat lots of Icecream this year, okay? :P

Bye and good luck on your year, again.
