Cool new tablet get, Oct '13 Updates
5 min read
Hi all! Topsy here.
This journal is not as personal as my Sept '13 one, but is very much personal regardless. If you're not into that kinda of stuff, then please feel free to continue with your day. Otherwise, stick around. This journal is broken down into sub-headings (in no specific order) for ease of reading and viewing pleasure(?).
Anyways, I'm was planning to change it into something less 'fukking ghey'. I've considered dumb stuff like Topsy Kay, Topsy-N-Turvy and Topsy Kretts, but none of them were that original really, esp. the last one. I've considered other catchy stuff like Topsy-22, Topsy-Artsy, Topsy-NU (first letter of my first and last name), but none of them really 'spoke' to me. I've thought about other weird stuff like Topsy-Infinity, Topsy-Odyssey, Topsy-Obviously, etc., but they were meaningless. I would love it if I could be referred to simply as Topsy, but that won't work. This lead me to conclude that every name I come up with is as equally dumb as the last. So yeah, I made a list, and promised myself to take the first semi-randomly chosen name.
I am no longer that 12-year-old dickhead called HellBreaker2012. I am Topsy-N
So yeah, getting ideas for a final piece is eating my time. Entries are due Nov 1st, and I haven't even started on it! I'm really hoping my experience in the digital medium will give me an upper hand (assuming the judges don't have a thing against digital art >.>).
Whoa whoa whoa! I can actually have virtual money now? and I can earn it!? AND BUY STUFF WITH IT!? Absolutely radical.
So yeah, I might be opening commissions early in December (and this time I mean it), 'cause right now I'm as broke as hell!

Preemeeuuum
Okay so, my recently-acquired PM is something I've been meaning to squeal and brag about in a journal, but thankfully I manged to resist spamming my watchers with a 1000 plz-icon post about how super-stoked I am for being gifted a PM. It's already been a month anyway, so my PM ends tomorrow. Regardless, I gotta publicly thank PMDU-Pippy for gifting me! Seriously, a 30-day PM for absolutely no reason? Absolutely fantastic of her. It was awesome when people started watching me just 'cause I had a star next to my name. Anyways, you can catch Pippy's MLP account over here, and her main tumblog over here. Enjoy!The Name Game!
This is the second time someone's gifted me a PM, and this time I'll actually make use of it by changing my deviantART username. I've had the name (as of 27/10/13) for 3 years and I want to be rid of it . . . I mean seriously, "Hellbreaker2012"? >.> Really, 12-year-old me? Is that the best you could come up with?Anyways, I'm was planning to change it into something less 'fukking ghey'.

GRAPHICS TABLET GET
That's right dudes, I was in Kuala Lumpur earlier in October, and got myself a Wacom Intuos Creative Pen Tablet! This is seriously a huge thing for me, my wallet's been emptied just for it. I've always wanted to have perfect yet natural hand-drawn look to my work, and a tablet will let me do just that, and more!I'd consider my swanky-new input-device a belated gift to myself (I'm totally not forever alone), for my 15th birthday. Yay!
Wizard of Oz Art Competition
It's been a full one-and-a-half months since my Sept '13 journal, and I haven't uploaded ANYTHING. Not a single deviation. This is because: 1) I'm having too much fun with a tablet, 2) I have art that I owe to people, and most importantly 3) There's a local art competition here, and I reeeeeeaaaaaaaaaly want to win whatever prize they're offering. Last year's one was so cool, I just need to have it. This year is the only year left where I'm not busy as fuck. Next year I'll be busy revising for exams . . .So yeah, getting ideas for a final piece is eating my time. Entries are due Nov 1st, and I haven't even started on it!
I'm really hoping my experience in the digital medium will give me an upper hand (assuming the judges don't have a thing against digital art >.>). Commissions . . .
Over the year, I've had a few people ask me to do a commission for them. Some were local, some were online. Naturally, I've had to decline online commissions since there was no way for the money to get to me. So, while I was on holiday in Kuala Lumpur, I asked one of my sisters what it would take to get a PayPal account, and to my disappointment, I actually needed a full-fledged bank account (wow I'm an idiot). This was rather unfortunate, there was now way I could get a bank account in the near future. But, to my delight, my sister said I could use hers if I'm taking commissionsWhoa whoa whoa! I can actually have virtual money now? and I can earn it!? AND BUY STUFF WITH IT!? Absolutely radical.
So yeah, I might be opening commissions early in December (and this time I mean it), 'cause right now I'm as broke as hell!
On the Tumblr bandwagon
Yep! I've succumbed to the temptations of a Tumblr account . . . My final grades, I can already feel them dropping . . . Anyways, here's where I'm at: topsy-n.tumblr.com/ There's nothing there as of right now, but that'll change sometime next weekend.

Back from holiday! Sept '13 Update
3 min read
Hey there to anyone who happens to be watching me and cares, Topsy here out of the blue. I'm back home from a nice, long break from school and internet!
It was quite a long holiday, and I really apologise for not mentioning it back in July, but . . . I dunno what I happened, probably just got lazy an' shit. Although, I kept briefly logging in during my holidays, just to keep my Last Visited stat to a minimum, so I'm fairly sure no one was worried.
Anyways, regarding my holidays: it was good, and I mean really good. I had one the most refreshing times of my life. The whole getting-up-and-out experience was really nice for my heart and soul. The destination wasn't fancy or anything (okay, maybe Kuala Lumpur is a little fancy), I only to places where I could go see the rest of my family and other relatives, but that was really awesome on its own. In the end, I had got a bunch of pony toys, a bunch of art equipment, a second-hand PS3, a second-hand smartphone, new bag, new shoes, new books and a whole lot of other stuff. I'm a happy pony, I'd even got around to cleaning my desk and room. That + some R&R makes for the best mental-renaissance experience (save for MLP, nothing in my short life has been as profound to me as getting into MLP was)
But . . . all that was over 3 weeks ago; I came back from holiday on August 20th. lel.
Those few silent weeks were spent getting back into the hang of things. I have school, friends, a hobby, and an internet life to balance, like most people. Managing all that for this year isn't going to be easy. Why?

Those few silent weeks were spent getting back into the hang of things. I have school, friends, a hobby, and an internet life to balance, like most people. Managing all that for this year isn't going to be easy. Why?
For one, it's the new school year and I've started doing my IGCSEs, the examinations will be in 2015. The course is mostly exam-based, but I really want to do as much as I can this year. At the moment, Student Council, art competitions, and a Model UN conference are on my list, and I've already scored a role in the school's Wizard of Oz production (My role's the Coroner 8D). Once I'm through with my IGCSEs, I get the feeling that there won't be any time for meaningful ECAs. So that's that.
And two: My own personal productivity is important also. As mentioned before, there isn't much time available as I get older, so I'm hoping to do quite a few commissions by the end of this school year, along with some meaningful UI design work for MEW.
Anyways, I did finish up an overdue request for a friend during the 3 weeks. The request was sent to me a week or two before the holidays, so it was on hold until after. My vectoring skills have been a little rusty, and I've started using Illustrator for my work, but I'm very proud of how the vector turned out in the end. I'm uploading it right now.
And that's all I can say for now, Topsy out.

Help Prevent Animal Euthanasia
1 min read
So, hi there.
Most of my watchers probably don't remember watching me in the first place, which is okay considering I haven't uploaded a deviation in months. Regardless, I come bearing a place where it's very much worthwhile investing in. Behold, a www.indiegogo.com/euthanizatio… .
Now, I had more than a few additional paragraphs written on this journal, but I didn't want to make reading a chore. So I'll let the link speak for itself, and include a tl;dr for good measure.
I don't mean to spam your inbox, but hear them out at least.
TL;DR: more money here www.indiegogo.com/euthanizatio… = less dead animals + more happy animals
There, go crazy.
