I'm really tired of this. Blu has been my identity forever. Don't get me wrong, I love the name, and it will still be the name I want to be called. But, I really want to change accounts.

I think I just wanna start over, start fresh if I can. I know this'll probably cause a lot of inconvenience and I'll probably lose some watchers, but I really don't mind. I want to have a new name and I want to clear up my list of people that I watch. I have a lot of people that I watch that are dead.

I hope you understand

I'll edit this journal with my new account once I get it. Thank you .

[EDIT]
New name. New account. New start. .

holy crap D: I've been here for a year now.

^__^ Well, thank you to all my watchers and friends who have stuck with me through my best and worst moments here this year. To another great year here! *toasts* I love you all! ^______^ well, except you . XD jk jk I do .

Much love for:

And I'm sorry if I've forgetten you here T___T
I wish I could include all my watchers, but people will beat me up if I have 100+ icons in my journal XD.
Seriously though, to all my watchers, commenters, and favoriters as well. you all mean a lot to me.

Oh yah, and to for letting me be a part of his awesome minion army and giving me lots of muffins in #AA. ^_^

{EDIT}
what you may have been waiting for! XD I'm working on tutorial. I should have it finished up by the weekend :3.

Figured I should make one of these...

1. What's your name?
Uh..BluTasogare aka BT aka Kate. But Blu or BT is what I like most .

2 How old are you?
It's in my ID...>>; but I'm 16.

3. OMG!!!111oone will you draw something fer me!? You liek roxxx I luv yew!!!
NO! T_T; I don't have time for request arts. The only time I give stuff for people is if it's for a kiriban, contest, birthday, or some other special occasion. Or just because I love them X3

4. Can I have your AIM address/MSN/Yahoo?
Sure, just note me for it.

5. OMG, you don't talk to me when I IM you, bitch!
T_T; Sometimes I'm afk...also, I"m a very shy person I'm really bad at talking to people I don't know well, but over a period of time I'll talk more . So don't yell at me, plz T_T;.

6. Do you do art trades?
Not at the moment...But I think I'll open up to them once my workload has lifted a little more.

7. Do you do commissions?
Nyaah not yet. I'm considering it, but I'm not sure if I'm good enough XD.

8. What tools do you use?
Uh..I sketch things out with a regular ticonderoga 2B pencil...and use a steadler mars white eraser. I scan with a microtek scanmaker 6000. I use a wacom graphire intuos 2 6X8 tablet. I use mostly OC 3.03E to CG, although I'll switch into photoshop 5 for a few things.

9. Wut do u think of netspk?
Sometimes it annoys me, but I'm not gonna kill someone just because they use it. I use it myself sometimes, so I can't be a hypocrite...well, I try not to be anyways XD.

10. Why do you update your journal so much?
T+T I abuse teh dA journal. If you add me to your watch, it's best to uncheck the journals box .

11. Where do you live?
Nyah...that's confidential. sorry...

12. Will you comment on my art? Plzzzzz check out my gallery!!!
T_T I have enough trouble trying to keep up with my watchlist, so I usually won't respond to stuff like this T_T sorry.

13. Who's your favorite artist on dA?
Nyahh, i dunno. >< So many good artists to list. They're all an inspiration to me ^^.

14. Will you be my friend?
Of course I'm not that evil...

15. Can I color your line art?/Will you color mine?
Yah, of course you can color my stuff, as long as you send me a link with the finished result and credit the line art to me in the picture description. As for coloring other people's line art, it really depends. more than often it will be a no, but ...

All right...I've considered making a tutorial, but never got around to it. Then I realized that my tutorial would really just be a big mixing pot of all the tutorials I've learned from. So here are some links to some tutorials I found useful when learning to CG:

Hair:
[link]

Skin:
[link]
[link] (go to the tutorial section)

eyes:
[link] (go to the tutorial section)
[link]

Used to have a really good hair tutorial too...>> but I dunno where it went. I think he deleted it ;_; But I have the image filed saved to my computer if anyone wants it *laughs evilly* XD...

I hope these have helped at least one person. There are probably more I have learned from, but I'm too lazy to search .
