I finally created a FB page!

1 min read
Saru: So I finally got convinced by Chikin to create a FB page cause it seems to bring some advantages like better communication with you guys (like you can give comments and I can comment back lol) and it also might be more convenient for some people (❁´▽`❁)

I’m still undecided wether I should communicate in german or english. For now I’ll probably switch forth and back or if I’m not lazy, I’ll try to write in both languages (*´꒳`*)

If you’re interested I would be really happy to also meet you guys there!! o(≧∇≦o)

Here is the link to my FB page!!

Aaaand if I did one, of course Chikin also has one! Be sure to also check her out!!

Link to her FB page!

Thanks for reading and hope to see you there!! (ノ＞▽＜。)ノ

Topic Regarding Requests

2 min read
Saru: Heeeey guys! :D

I know it's been a long time since we updated our journal since we pretty don't know what to write here xD
but lately there is a certain topic that is kinda in my mind for a while now and unfortunately not such a happy topic, to be honest.
From the headline you can probably guess it's about requests.
I just wanted to inform you guys that I (will) stop taking requests altogether. So please don't ask me for requests again.
I know it sounds harsh but since we have college now, we're actually pretty busy with real life 
and the little time we have for drawing, we would like to dedictae it to things we love to draw.
I mean in the past I really did that a lot and didn't mind at all.
But now it's different. Over the years, I have learned from people on the net and from my friends that I shouldn't 'sell' myself so cheap
and that I should be more careful about requests since it wouldn't actually do me no good, except that I may get better at drawing.
The least we may do in the future are commissions. That yes, we would take payment for our drawings cause it seems obviously fair to us 
and I hope you guys also see it that way.
So overall we don't take requests and if there will be ever a time we take commissions, we will tell more informations at that time.
Thank you for reading this and I'm really sorry for doing this, but a lot of people have asked me for requests
and I thought I should make myself clear with this and I hope you can understand.

Sincerely,
Saru and Chikin~

EDIT: Chikin: What Saru said. /bows

Photoshop Actions Credits

Since there is a possibility that I'll use them more often from now on, I wanted to credit here properly so I don't have always have to state them whenever I'm submitting something (same with the textures) >D  :

:iconmeganjoy:

Big thank you to this person who allowed me to explore this function (Yeah, I need a loooong time until I find anything...)!

Sorry if I bother some people with this but I also want to use this as an excuse to make the previous entry dissapear from the page (too long to scroll down!!)

Texture Credits D

1 min read
I always wanted to do this but always forget it >___<
but this time I'll be able to declare where I get most of my textures from! >D
Of course I can't remember all sources cause in the past I never paid real attention to it D:
The reason why I even make an journal entry for it cause I don't want to always search the entire time for a single texture, so I'll state the creators, maybe you'll find something for yourself ;D
I get almost all of my textures from PIXIV, so you'll have to get an account to get access to the links ;D

so here are the most important users:

www.pixiv.net/member_illust.ph…

www.pixiv.net/member_illust.ph…

www.pixiv.net/member_illust.ph…

www.pixiv.net/member_illust.ph…

these are the most important for now ;D
if there will be more then I'll update the list or even give the direct link of the textures I used for the drawing in the description

Hope it'll be helpful ;D
