I should really update this more.
But I have nothing to add, really.
I made this blog for my senior year in high school, and it’s been a couple of years since then.
I have too many accounts in too many places. Half the time, I forget where; the other half is not keeping them updated.
/stares at dreamwidth account
/stares at other accounts I forgot
/stares at accounts I haven’t forgotten, just not posted in for a while
/siiiiiigh.
Well…oh well.

Oh go me.
I forgot about this for what, over a year? How awesome am I?
Been working on costumes for KumoriCon 2010 for the past week or so. Derp, I procrastinated again.
Well, at least I’m almost done with one of them (as in, 97%) and the others are at 50% or more. TOO BAD THERE ARE ONLY SIX DAYS LEFT dohohoho.
I remain the best.
KumoriCon Lineup:
Kitamori Reiko (Yu-Gi-Oh! R) – 97%
Izayoi Aki (Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s) – 80%
Dark Signer Kiryu Kyosuke (Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s) – 60%
I also need to do my friend’s Yuusei wig, but they said if we don’t get the yellow highlights in it’ll be fine for now. They’ll just be Yuusei’s dad. xD
In other news, I might be part of a Pacific Northwest Yu-Gi-Oh! cosplay group soon. The friend who suggested it (lives in Seattle) will be the leader of the Washington division and they asked if I wanted to head the Oregon division, so…I might have a gaggle of card game nerds on my hands. ♥

Oh wow, I really should pay more attention to this rather than always posting in my LJ. ._.;
Anyhow, I haven’t been doing a whole lot of drawing since school got out (which sucks but is normal. I only draw when I have other, important things to do. What) but I did just get into this huge sewing kick (mostly because KumoriCon is only two weeks away now, ack) so I might get pictures up here of them if I remember.
I’m making Kiryu Kyosuke of YGO 5D’s (Team Satisfaction version.), Rally Dawson of YGO 5D’s, and Izayoi Aki of YGO 5D’s.
I’ve wanted to make Aki for a year, Rally for half a year, and I was talked into Kiryu on the forums because there would be other TeamSat members there. Except not that era…oh, whatever. I’ll be the only one in the vest.
Ironically, the progress is nearly opposite of what I want: Rally’s at 60%, Kiryu’s at 56%, and Aki is still only at 10%. Then again, she is the most elaborate, considering the other two live in an abandoned subway tunnel and the bad side of town, respectively.
So I should probably go work a bit more after updating my to-do list.

Long time no update
Heeeey, interworld, what’s new?
I haven’t been doodling much lately, but I only graduated a week ago, so that should change. I’ve mostly been hanging around the internet and watching 5D’s. =]
I got some little hexagonal boxes to paint as the Arcadia Movement logo (from 5D’s) because I’m a nerd and what else would I paint on a hexagonal box, anyway?
Such is the life of an unemployed 18-year-old graduate. Heh.

:0!
I just looked at my “searched tag” list and noticed that there are searches there now!
But what boggled me most is that one is in Japanese.
ディヴァアキ, to be exact.
Th-this makes me wonder if I have people visiting from halfway across the world. o_o
In which case, I-I’m sorry I don’t tag anything. orz
But thanks for looking around anyway! :D
This goes to everyone. Yeah. Thanks, everyone. ♥
-Shan
From here on is in Japanese! 8D
ここから日本語で! 8D
今日、「searched tag」リストを見てれば、新しいサーチを見ました!
一番びっくりしたのタグサーチは日本語で。
「ディヴァアキ」と言うます。
私が「に-日本人がここにきた?!」と思いました。 o_o
そ-そしてタグなしごめんなさい orz
しかし!私の絵を見るにありがとうございます! °▽°
みんなへ。 うん。 みんなにありがとう。 ♥
Just some pictures I need tomorrow~
This includes a few more views of StarBox, and some new projects that haven’t been shown off here yet. C:
Sandblasted Egyptian Judgement:
All of these are in-progress shots from when I was about half done carving through the sticky paper.

Also, I leave for Japan early on Friday, so I won’t be in school at all. Wish me luck!

*Is Alive*
Yes! I am indeed alive, and at the moment, apparently being a nerd.
I added a few more things, like the Epic Doodles category and a few more doodles, and I moved a few things around. Not really an amazing thing or anything, I’m just trying to be organized.
In other news, I think I accidentally left my mp3 player in Japanese today. I wasn’t listening to it, it just kind of fell out of my backpack or something when I was digging through it, I guess. IB is the only class sensei has on B days, so it should be safe.
I really hope it is, because I just added Koda Kumi’s TRICK on there and I have songs stuck in my head. ;~;

PS – I might be getting a haircut today C:
PPS – I’m drawing Firebird. CCC: Yay. Except doing that reminds me that I fail at drawing males. >_>;

SakuraIro~♪
Again, title is the song I’m listening to. (It’s by Angela Aki! :D)
Anyway, I’m working on updating some of my art pages. It might take a while, honestly, but I’ll do my best to fill it all in. :<
So far I’ve added four things to the “Recently Completed” page, including…
A dress I designed called “Love & Peace” :D The colors are somewhat based on a kind of rose I like with the same name. You can find a url to a page with pictures of them when you enlarge the thumbnails. =]
Well, back to work!

Alohello~
It’s highly likely that I have no idea what I’m doing. (I’m used to LiveJournal, you know.)
Anyway, I’m Kotoumi, otherwise known as Shannon McCurdy, or the person behind Doodlebug Artings. It’s my art blog! C: Of course, I post art everywhere…
Livejournal, deviantart, Gaia Online, facebook…I show off everywhere, ha.
Eh, whatever. Point is, this is my first time using WordPress, and I hope I don’t fail too massively.
♥
…By the way, I abuse ♥ like no one I’ve ever met. Get ready to be overrun.

Liquid Skies…♪
Title is the song I’m listening to, haha.

The Space Needle: Seattle, WA. Taken 3/2007
I’m thinking of submitting this (or one of four variations) to Avatar. I like Seattle…it’ll be fun going back in April. Especially since I have friends up there now! :D
This just might get posted in every day. At least when I’m working on or finish something. It would help me learn more responsibility, I think, and I won’t forget to update it.
This is what I’m working on in my spare time:

Current doodle
The Japanese on the left says:
メルヘンの時間
子ディヴァアキ (7才と9才)
かわいいね -^o^-
あの二人大好き~
RPで ♥
子アキがお伽話大好き. (子ディヴァインも好き~ 秘密だよ!)
“Fairy Tale Time
“Little DivAki (7 & 9 Years Old)
“Aren’t they cute? -^o^-
“I love these two~
“From RP ♥”
“Little Aki loves fairy tales. (She likes Little Divine, too~ It’s a secret!)”

Closeup of "Fairy Tales"
All the English says is “UNFINISHED. They’re reading fairy tales. ♥ Or, he was, and she invaded. He doesn’t mind, though…♥ Oh, children.”
…I told you I abuse the hearts.
