Figured I'd do this since I don't seem too active these days. I will say I have 3 pieces in progress. Continuing on with 100 Themes! Here are your hints:
A) Keeping a secret Ichigo Momomiya Chibi
B) Tower :bademoticon: (seriously, nothing for this one?)
C) Waiting (collab with Wong) Jurassic Park - Lambeosaurus [V.1]

And now for the real reason you clicked on my journal.
  1. How long have you been on DeviantArt?

    1. 9.5 years.

  2. What does your username mean?

    1. City from Golden Sun (and some mythology) spelled backwards.
  3. Describe yourself in three words.

    1. Persevering, kind, timid
  4. Are you left or right handed?

    1. Proudly the world minority (lefty!)
  5. What was your first deviation?

    1. I don't know. It doesn't exist anymore. Fanart, that much I know. A friend put up my doodles in high school when I was still on dial up...
  6. What is your favourite type of art to create?

    1. Traditional/fanart
  7. If you could instantly master a different art style, what would it be?

    1. Can one even master anything? Water color would be epic.
  8. What was your first favourite?

    1. Asch and Natalia by Nazgullow
  9. What type of art do you tend to favourite the most?

    1. Fannnnn art
  10. Who is your all-time favourite deviant artist?

    1. This changes on a day-to-day basis. I have so many. Let me list some based on recent faves: :iconamirai::iconstarsandoceans::iconsamaryllis::iconglaciesclover::iconpicolo-kun::icontamorii::iconchevaliers17:
  11. If you could meet anyone on DeviantArt in person, who would it be?

    1. Going with the people I haven't met... :icondwellin:, or gardenofthegods.
  12. How has a fellow deviant impacted your life?

    1. The three mentioned above. Though I don't know all of them by real name, they've all made different days brighter. :XD: People I would literally never have met without DA. I can't imagine my little world without them though they come and go.
  13. What are your preferred tools to create art?

    1. Paper, pencil, pen, colored pencil.
  14. What is the most inspirational place for you to create art?

    1. Don't really have one. I can draw anywhere.
  15. What is your favourite DeviantArt memory?

    1. Probably meeting gardenofthegods on a silly rp chat room I tried to create that went nowhere fast. :XD:

I had wanted to put together the first half of my 100 themes challenge all in one journal, but alas, my subscription runs out today and I don't think I could finish four pieces in that time limit. :lol: So, instead, here are themes 1 through 46 in order (I think) of prompt, not necessarily the order in which they were drawn. One is a collaboration piece with SirWongIII can you find it? I'm curious, which ones do you guys like best? Least?

Hey everyone! I got off my doodle blues! Right now I have three things in progress:

1. Nine artist style challenge = creation theme (46) :D Including themes such as: Bullet; Blue :bademoticon: Luffy - Happy muy macho fella Confused Zim Emote  Party Hard! animation - Okami runing cycle Butterflyemote Chocobo Knight (some hints are more obvious than others, the first one is "blue")

2. Stripes Tiger La la la la :lmpo: (48)

3. Childhood Eevee Pinball sprite revamp Delibird emoticon  (47)

Almost to #50!!!!

Also, I must say thank you to :iconsirwongiii: for providing me with this sub via the holiday card project. I ran out of time to submit one this year. I must say, I missed having my journal backgrounds. That's all for this update. I'm on GW2 a bit more these days. Just got a few friends to join. :D

I've decided that since I can't sleep anymore, I'll write this journal. My last update was in August, so you would think I have stuff to report about, but not really. It was a super busy semester and since I stare at my computer for far longer than I want to think about at work, I spend a lot less time on DA when I am at home. My 2014 was a year of crazy changes in my personal life, but I won't bore you with the details.

Looking at my resolutions from last year:
1. Graduation: check
2. PhD program: check
3. Productive...? Maybe. Learn something? I suppose since I didn't specify what. :XD: I just remember being cold, impatient, and bored. Staring at the countdown on the fridge waiting for numbers to drop. Yugi Facepalm 
4. I certainly drew in 2014, but not sure about improvement.
5. My adviser seems to think I'm putting in the effort, so I suppose I've hit the ground running. (Though... yesterday was a wash...)
6. Car: Obtained In my car... 
7. Fan fiction. Nope. Failed that one.
8. Improvement in yoga? I haven't done any since I moved. Zumba took over.
9. Making friends is difficult. I have a few, but so far, not as close as the ones I left behind. I blame the commuter school part.

Resolutions for 2015:
1. Stick with PhD program and be awesome at it. Or as close to awesome as I can be.
2. Start a garden in the spring.:floweraww: 
3. Improve at doodling or whatever hobby I may pick up.
This year is going to be tough in terms of school. I may only have one class this semester, but my research as of late has not been going so well. I guess my adviser has told me that "Rome wasn't built in a day" already...

Art news:
So, since I finished my last piece for FE Secret Santa, I have had the drawing blues. I have two other pieces in the works, on the coloring stages even, but every time I try to work on them, I suddenly get really bummed. I'm not as good as I had hoped to be right now. I'm not sure what level that was, but I'm finding myself highly dissatisfied. Unfortunately for you, my watchers, this may mean I don't post anything for awhile. If anyone has suggestions of something to do to rekindle my drawing spirit, I'm all ears. Not sure what I'll get into in the mean time. I don't really have the money to get into any other craft type things. :bademoticon:

Things stuck in progress:
1. Hate the devil is a part timer hanzo icon (not this guy, but for some reason he's the only one who has an emoticon)
2. Illusion Sun

I decided to jump on this bandwagon waaaay late. You know, a few weeks back when everyone was doing self-improvement or whatnot journals for DA's birthday. I haven't done a self improvement meme in four years or so, so heck, why not?

I "joined" on January 16th, 2006. Quotations because I didn't actually run my account. A friend did. I was on dial up still.

Since nothing remains of that era, let's move onto what does exist. I took over my account in late November/early December of 2007. Highlights:
Ichigo X Rukia Zelda theme by Airumel Lirael and Dog by Airumel Soifon has a kitty by Airumel

2008 was a year of big changes in my life, and my artwork. I dabbled in color and drawing styles.... pastels, colored pencils, grayscale, and pastel pencils.
On the Hill in the Night by Airumel Summer Dusk by Airumel Moonlight In the Desert by Airumel Too Colorful Tree- Winter by Airumel

2009 was a rough year, but man did I draw a lot! And it's like we have color TV all of a sudden! I solidified on colored pencils for backgrounds.
Hellfire by Airumel Night Without Dark by Airumel First Flight by Airumel Sunset Embrace by Airumel Nebula Dreams by Airumel Serpentine Sunrise by Airumel Baby It's Cold Outside by Airumel

2010 I got pretty busy with coursework. My artwork amount drastically dropped off. Ranghildr and Aputsiaq make their debut.
Defiance by Airumel Snowy Sunset by Airumel A Walk In Space by Airumel A Parting Gift by Airumel Erk and Oricanna by Airumel

2011 The year I changed majors a million and a half times. Lots of dragons and bat wings. More OCs this year than fanart, not usually the trend.
Endless Stars -SS- by Airumel Backyard Buddies by Airumel Sinking into Adventure by Airumel Must Be A Good Book by Airumel Cold Summer by Airumel Desert Nostalgia by Airumel Autumn Afternoon by Airumel

2012, seems odd that this year is in the past by two years now. Another year of big changes. The sheer amount of moves I made that year certainly reduced my drawing time. My most favorite-d piece is here too. Regardless, I think there's a bit of improvement here:
Strolling With a Breeze by Airumel Dusk in the Mangroves by Airumel The Best Plans Are Often Ignored by Airumel Dawn is Coming by Airumel Probending by Airumel Peak of Autumn by Airumel

2013 I found more time to draw with plenty of blizzards forcing me to stay indoors and really nothing better to do. Started the 100 themes challenge! I changed my inking style at the very end.
A Dog Wants Me to go to St. Petersberg by Airumel You're Still You, Okay? by Airumel Dreaming on the Moon by Airumel I've Got You by Airumel Breaking the Silence by Airumel Reunion -FEA Spoilers- by Airumel The World Lacked Color Until That Moment by Airumel

2014, or what I've done thus far. I feel like I just drew most of these. Hard to see improvement in this year alone because it's so recent.
Feathered Friend by Airumel Letting Go by Airumel Snoozing in the Tall Grass by Airumel Icy Night Splendor by Airumel Waking Nightmare by Airumel

Works in progress:
Dragons: Who do you think you're getting for this one? R&A? :lol:
Standing still: Might be GoT, haven't quite figured it out.
Teamwork: Probably Guild Wars 2 related.
...I'm also itching to get some Sailor Moon fanart in... I've never drawn any! Craziness!
