Sta.sh
or "KITTY LICKING AVATAR", please read this journal. Thank you (:--------------------
Hello, whoever-is-still-watching-this-account.
First off: Thanks everyone for all the support for my work. Sorry for not being here for 2 years to show my gratitude for each and every one of you, but it means a lot for me that you continuously liked my work even after I went DA-dead. Thank you!
Main point: This account will not be updated anymore.
I am quite surprised that visits and comment-inputs on this accounts are still quite regular, as if I am still present. However, I have abandoned this account a long time ago; I simply failed to notify any of you.
Of course, I do not justify my act AT ALL. I left this account without saying anything in fear that people will begin looking for me. If I left with a journal "good bye", with a void gallery, it would have definitely set off an alarm to all of you. I wanted to leave like I was using the back door. Back then I had a growing fear of interacting with large amount of people. But I don't dislike/hate any of you, it's quite the opposite in a lot of cases! I am just a bit anxious by nature, and when it build up too much I end up doing something reckless, like I did on this account.
This is clearly an apology journal, but I don't expect any of you to forgive me. I know it's too late; it has been about 2 years now. On a more positive note, I would like to say that I am still on DA, though I would not like to announce it because I still would not want a large audience. But it's probably not too difficult finding me, ppffttthh. 4 years ago, I was really trying to hide, but not anymore. My art style probably gives it away.
As for this account...it's filled with my embarrassing past, but I am trying to embrace it. So I am trying not to deactivate it because I think it becomes even more painful and embarrassing if you try to hide it. However, I actually thought about emptying this account for a year, but DATES stop me. I take record-keeping very seriuosly; it drives me nuts. It's a tough choice, so I will have to get back to you guys on this one later.
Edit: I decided to keep this account. I been using this account as an effective tool to browse my old artworks anyway!
I also noticed a lot of repetitive inquiries, so I will say the followings:
1. I am not taking requests!
2. I am not taking commissions!
3. I am not taking art trades!
Sorry. I am too busy p: I would love to see smiles on your face by giving something you want, but I would hate to make someone wait for like 5 months for a simple avatar.
-------------FAQs---------------
1. What program did you use to make these animations?
I used Flash, and since this account is old, I used Flash 8 to be more precise, but I have a copy of Flash CS4 right now.
2. OH GOD WHERE DID YOU GET IT OMG.
Admittedly I got Flash 8 through piracy...It's illegal of course, but come on I had no money! And it's insanely expensive! Now that I have a job, I think I would've purchased a real copy but I got Flash CS4 for free FROM my job. 8D
3. How did you make gif animated avatars?
I used Flash. You can export your flash animation as gif animation. You have to have them at good export setting in order to have them at good color quality. Happy experimenting!
4. Can you make me an avatar?
1. I am not taking requests!
2. I am not taking commissions!
3. I am not taking art trades!
5. Can I use your kitty licking avatar?
Most likely, YES (: For more detail, take a short peak at this: [link]
