So uh.... hi! Hello there! It sure has been a while, hasn't it?


I'm not sure if there's anybody out there who will see this, but just in case there is, you have no idea how happy I am that you're still there. I know, I know, I think I basically abandoned this place like ten years ago, and then I pretty much abandoned everything five years ago. It's a long story. The short version is Family Drama Trauma (tm), which put me firmly in a place where I was barely able to do anything other than the occasional picture for myself. However, over the past few years, I've been making attempts at getting better, and I think they are working. I still don't draw as often as I used to, but I'd like to think I'm still OK at it, and I've started writing again as well, so... hopefully the things I start posting here won't be too terrible!


As for what you can expect to see from me going forward, it'll probably be intermittent postings mostly revolving around OCs for various fandoms I'm in, transformation themed artwork, 3D models, and maybe the occasional crack at trying to create something original. I keep going back and forth on whether I want to make a sci-fi story with shapeshifting and aliens, or if I want to make a fantasy western story with centaurs. It's so hard to decide.


Um... That's all for now. If you want to keep in touch, I've updated my social media links, and you can also find me on Telegram under the name sarifel-corrisafid-ilxhel (or OvnitheUFO, the account name), or on Discord under the name Sarifel#9419.


(Also if you see a suspiciously similar journal pop up on Furaffinity in a few minutes, I know, I'm being lazy by just copying and pasting but it's 3 AM right now. Sue me!)

22nd Birthday

1 min read
Not much of an update here, but I'd like to say that today I turned 22! I feel no older than when I was 21 though. Strange.

Also, my subscription ran out, and I haven't really felt like buying a new one yet, so goodbye orange-and-gray journal skin. >:

Ummm, not much to say other than that!

Drawing stuff for a few friends, then I shall proceed to draw more. I don't think I'll be able to upload most of it here, but I'll come up with a few things to upload, including my entry to Brandi's design-an-experiment contest. I just have to finish coloring it. :3

Hello all, again!

Umm, just a general update on my contact information!

You can IM me at the following addresses:

1.) ovni-the-ufo[at]hotmail.com for MSN
2.) redward652[at]yahoo.com

I don't have any others, but if you ask nicely I might sign up for one of the other free ones, if you aren't comfortable with MSN or YIM.

Email addresses:

1.) ovni-the-ufo[at]hotmail.com

I used to use my yahoo address for email, but recently it has come under spam attack so I'm considering abandoning it.

Usual MSN Issues:

A bunch of people have asked why sometimes my MSN messes up. Rather than have to say the same thing nine or ten times a day, I figure I should put up a centralized response everyone can read.

Here is the explanation for several issues:

Issue 1.) Why do you sometimes sign in and out rapidly over a several minute period, and why does this never happen on the weekends?

Answer: I attend a university during the day. It's my fourth year of college. During my freetime, I get on my laptop and sign onto MSN using the university's wireless internet.

Unfortunately, it being a university and all, it isn't an optimized wireless system and during peak hours (midday in the Central US time zone), everyone is using it. Therefore, I have to compete for connectivity, and often times my connection isn't stable enough to support MSN. It will support YIM, strangely enough, but not MSN. So it looks like this:

Ovni-the-UFO has just signed in.
Ovni-the-UFO is offline.
Ovni-the-UFO has just signed in.
Ovni-the-UFO is offline.
Ovni-the-UFO has just signed in.
Et cetera.

And it will do this for up to ten or fifteen minutes before establishing a stable connection sometimes. And it only does this at the university. It never does it at home. I'm not the only person who has experienced this at the university, and have approximately ten thousand people at the university who can all agree that the wireless signal, especially during the midday, is notoriously unstable.

Issue 2.) Why do you appear offline?

Answer: I never set my MSN to invisible. If I appear offline and yet I am talking, it is because MSN has apparently glitched. It affects multiple people, and sometimes it seems to be a 'spreading' effect, where first it happens to one person, then it happens to multiple people, spreading like a virus until it passes. Other usual glitches that occur with this: Sometimes messages will not send, or pictures will not send.

Issue 3.) Why did you try to send me a file and cancel?

Answer: If I am trying to send a file, I do not cancel unless I made a goof or noticed a mistake in the file and must correct it. I always inform you if that is the case.

If it cancels and I did not say something like "Oops, I need to fix something first", then it is MSN canceling the file. This can happen due to bad connections to the server, bad server data, or the file simply disappearing into the maze of data we call the Internet.

Issue 4.) Why did you nudge me?

Answer: Either I was trying to get your attention or I hit the wrong button. I will usually apologize if I did not intend to nudge you.

Ummm...any other questions? :3

I haven't uploaded here in a while, but I have fourty or fifty things I want to post here. So, as a result, over the weekend I shall be posting a whole huge amount of stuff. Most of it I had already posted to my FA account, but some of it is entirely new.

I felt bad that I hadn't done anything here in forever. I aim to fix that. I'm going to be more active here, starting today.

So...ummm...whatsup? :3

Life Updates:
Good news and bad news. Mostly inbetween.

Good news: Doing good in everything except calculus, and the semester is about half-over. So far, that means I might actually do good in everything (except calculus) at the end.

Bad news: Doing bad in calculus. Came to the conclusion the teaching style of the professor is not the kind I need. He just gives notes, and expects you to teach yourself. I need a more step-by-step "This is why the problem works like this" approach that doesn't assume I already know the basics of algebra, because...honestly, it wouldn't matter if I did. Different things violate the laws of algebra so often it makes my head spin.

More good news: I've taken lots of photos of squirrels and cloudscapes and coloring and trees and stuff. Soon I will begin studying them artistically, and hopefully that'll translate into art. Also, I have lots of stuff to post, but most of it is just sketches.

Furthermore, continued good news: I has laptop. It's come in handy, especially due to the following:

Even more bad news: My computer is down. Well, specifically, my main computer is down. Even more specific: the router no longer recognizes the computer. I suspect this means we'll have to reset the router. The router gave the computer a new IP address but it's a 163.x.x.x address, whereas the router only communicates with 192.x.x.x connections, SO, yeah, dead in the water.

I can still use it for art, though.

Which brings me to...

Star Trek Ship: I've returned to working on my spaceships. Currently my focus is on finally finishing the Byzantine, a Star-Trek ship.

Yes, the Byzantine. A project I have been working on for a year.
See, I started with it here: fav.me/d1tg6c0 (it's the one on the left)
You may recognize it here: fav.me/d1u29z9
Or here: fav.me/d1zimqb
Or here: fav.me/d2j40d9
Or here: fav.me/d2kc8eg
Or lastly, here: fav.me/d2norj1

As you can see, I've changed the design a lot, from something that was essentially only my 3rd try at Star Trek to something I've come to be proud of. However, I'm no where near done.

I will post a new picture of it tonight, along with refined information and statistics and whatnot.


Forum News:
The forum is up and running! z15.invisionfree.com/Experimen… It does not yet have a name, so disregard the name in the URL. We're still hosting a naming contest. Winner gets a drawing!

Puerto Rico:

In case anybody forgot (as I'm sure Fox News regularly does), Puerto Rico is part of the United States. Puerto Ricans are Americans. Attack them at your own expense, Beck. That is all.

EDIT:

I am typing this from my computer! I have to reinstall a bunch of stuff, but the sad news is this:

I lost some files.

I lost my Byzantine model. I lost alot of my favorites for Firefox. I lost a few pictures. I lost most of my most recent 3D work. Apparently, my external harddrive's programming doesn't save things in unusual locations (or for that matter, anything located in My Documents but not in a folder).

I'm most saddened by my loss of the Byzantine. I had /just/ gotten it to be /just/ right. A year of progress. Gone.

Ah well, I remember the basic concepts...maybe I should rebuild, start again with it so this time it'll be easier to texture.

All my primary art systems are intact, however, so I should begin drawing again soon.
