The art of MeritAmun

I am still around and I still work on stuff.. immigrations and some RL has the priority now but I am working on lots of stuff!

Exactly… I am yay.

While I was out and about all over the states my husband fixed my graphics computer and i am in the process of reinstalling photoshop and my poser content… and naturally my music! Reinstalling photoshop makes me cringe!!! I got so much content I made for it and… installing the latest version getting my cd keys for 2 and 3 ( cs 2 and 3 that is ) updating… gah I hate doing it.. like a lot!

But yes expect new stuff in the next 5 days once i reinstalled all my stuff.

Alas… I really am. So I got a few mails about where the hell have you been, are you ok? What’s up.I do feel like I owe some kind of explanation.So since I had my neck and shoulder injured quite badly for a couple of days I did not feel like doing much on poser or at the computer for long amounts of time, when I was at the pc I was playing WoW where I played a lot with very close friends of mine that I had lost out of sight for a while, and also started playing with a couple of new people I met.A few of the new people have become really good friends of mine and we would basically spend every wake minute doing stuff together, then one person dropped the bomb and told us he would be gone soon for a very long time due to military things.Needless to say we spent every minute with him as long as we could and finally last night had to say our final goodbyes. In this time I did not feel like doing anything but enjoying the precious time we all still had together. Eh I am a bit drained, but will get back to what I was doing here.All I want to say is:Morvidian I am extremely proud of your decision and have the utmost respect for it. I will be around until you are back and Vyalia will go wreak havok on those enemies of yours.  Miss you already and you haven’t even been gone for 24 hours.

Will be coming!

I had a slight accident the other day hurting and pinching some muscles and nerves in the neck and shoulder area, updates will be online as soon I can stand sitting near the PC long enough to get them uploaded which is not the case right now

Well I am not going to travel kid got sick and we stay home.

Being a German citizen in the States i do not speak much German lately. So a while ago a movie made it to our on demand section, it was actually German subtitled in English. “Das Leben der Anderen” - The lives of others.It is about the actions of the Stasi in the GRD. I initially avoided watching the movie, because.. well I actually do not know. Today it played on a channel I had been watching in the background and I actually got into the movie. I was really young when the wall fell, and for me it was just something that happened that I could not understand. Anyways the movie, while being depressing -a lot of lost hope and shattered dreams- it kinda shows at the same time that if there is the slightest bit of good in humans, it can make a difference. The movie is nice and give a lot of food for thought and I am happy that I finally took the time to see it… and on a sidenote, its not me who is losing the ability to speak and write German… their grammar really does sound retarded….

I admit I took a slight break… well not completely, I was working on a lot stuff but recently I have found my way back into WoW and it is at times a welcome break. I joined a new guild… RP guild, and had a hell of a lot fun. I managed to get myself from level 53 to 60 ( almost 61 ) in less then 4 days. Rested bonus for the win. Other than that I am working on a graphic novel that I am going to release here in a couple of days… or the first 20 pages of it anyways.Writing on chapter 10 0f Embrace Me too.

I must admit I get nothing done these days… :POk so I am working on an edit of Embrace Me but things are progressing slowly due to quite some reasons.For those that did not know Harahkte and I are in the middle of building an addition to our house… addition as big as a complete new house, there is a lot of work with contractor planning and bureaucracy. Also I am keeping close tabs on my kiddo these days: her mood problems seem in control for now, so that makes me happy.Also… tomorrow in the early morning I am going to see a doctor… woo yes because I love them so.. but I fear a pregnancy test is in order and a good check up, I have been so terrible tired over the last couple of weeks… I could sleep all day. Yup, lazy me.Other than that, my trip to Germany is getting closer and closer and I am dreading it more and more… haha, my step fathers parents invited me and my husband and his mother over to eat. We will be staying in Heidelberg: I used to live in that area, or to be more precise 20 minutes away in Mannheim, where I have a sizeable amount of family and friends. And my sister will be there; I have seen her on her 18th birthday for the last time… that’s -geeze- almost 2 years ago, she is turning 20 in may.I don’t mind seeing my family… but I do mind the trip there… airplanes are horrible, it does help that I fly first class. ( Thank god my father in law was a delta pilot we get to fly first class. ) My mother in law and my daughter though are going on a paid ticket from Orlando right to Frankfurt, my daughter is a bit too young for the Orlando to Atlanta then to Frankfurt trip. Takes around 5 hours longer.So yeah, there has been a lot going on and on in my mind but that update should come sometimes in the next few days. I did work on some art stuff from which I uploaded one picture that you can see on the side navigation… click it, its more fun in big!

AH no I won’t be gone or anything or stop to update … but it will be once a week at most.

I am going through a rough time at the moment, my little girl is having issues with her temper and behavior and takes it out on her classmates to the point where we are facing the possibility of her getting expelled. We are not sure what causes it and why she has become so angry all of a sudden and that will be needed to look into very throughly to make sure she can get over these episodes swiftly. I know she is no angel, but I also know she does not do things without a reason and I know for a fact that some of the classmates she gets into fights with are rather wild kids themselves so in the combination of that all we need to check what is going on.

Until then writing and art can not be much of a priority I will not stop to work but I will work less and look into solutions that work for my kid, me and my family to get her temper back into her own control.

I feel so helpless and like I am failing her heh I suppose you always want the best for your kid but can not help them at times.

First of all there is several new pictures.

Thats the new stuff on the art sector.

My other projects are coming along more or less.

 One of the other projects I am on will appear on the website in a few days. A graphic novel of sorts

Ok, I am sure some of you noticed that Embrace Me and the galleries got less frequent updates. That has two reasons. First of all.. December is a busy month.. yeah yuck. Second I am working on a new project ( not like I did not have enough on my plate already ) The new project will be revealed sometimes between today and March, as in I have no clue when I am ready, however I am going to mention it in my yay another 12 months to go post, I will make sometimes this week.Though I have to admit I am getting to the point where I can no longer see the light at the end of the tunnel due to the sheer workload I put on myself. So I might start looking for help rather soon.Thats it from me for today until I sorted my thoughts to put my state of the site posts down.

Check the gallery there are some new pictures in a few galleries. Usually they say updated Yes I am aunt, everything is fine and my sister stole the name I wanted for my son which makes me kind of mad… never tell your sisters names you want for your own kids! Keep it secret!! If I have a boy at one point however I will still name him that, just a different way to write it. My daughter was clearly bigger and  heavier when she was born and prettier too.. matter of factly I dont know if I have seen a more ugly baby than him before. I hope it was just a bad picture Going to edit some more tomorrow. Yay

I updated a few of the pages like the About page to explain the site a little better as well as a tiny fraction more personal info about me. I am not really able to write much at all today or do anything meaningful art wise because  of the anticipation to get a call from my parents between now and tomorrow, this time to tell me that my sister and her new baby are ok. My nephew will be born via C-Section in the early morning hours of the 20th. Poor kid will have his B-day right before X-mas. And poor sister will spend this X-mas in the worst hospital of Kassel ( Germany ) I almost had my daughter there but decided to go to a different hospital the last minute. So yeah I will be up all night waiting for that call around 2 to 3 am EST. But yeah back to the site… There will be minor changes to it over the next few days and now I better get going, I still haven’t bought any wrapping paper and there is a ton of presents to be wrapped for my lil girl

I am editing parts and pieces of Embrace Me and waiting on the final edit by Harahkte before that is posted should be sometimes tomorrow, we are quite busy these days and can not work on it as much as we usually do.Also I can hardly concentrate, my sister was supposed to have a baby via C-Section tomorrow but they forgot they had scheduled her and pushed it back several days which worries the hell and back out of me. She is getting very near to her due date and is NOT supposed to go into labor because the cord is three times around the her son’s neck.. there is a chance that he could die and she with him. So I had to call my parents to make sure they check that the docs finally noted that date in stone. I am very very worried about my lil sister, it is her first baby and she is 19 years old, I wish she could have had a less troublesome pregnancy but I guess that runs in the family, I can not recall an easy pregnancy in my family in the last well… ever. But besides the point until my nephew is born I will be on the edge. These are the times where i hate to live so far away from my family. One of my sisters lives in Singapore, the other in Germany. Enough from my personal life though, I just had to vent for a second or 10 Anyways here the new pictures: One in the still untitled story: Clicky!  In Embrace Me the last two pictures on page three HERE We let Lerania out of her cage! Then in Do not lose [yourself] we have two more scenes Click Me Finally a close up of Raijin and his cousin  And last but not least the Serpent Mistress from Serpent Mine

I am back, had a lot of fun even though I was sick mostly, have been for several weeks now BUT I got better while relaxing at the Marriott Resort.

Now that I unpacked my stuff I am going to start editing and typing the handwritten parts of Embrace me I did while sunbathing and drinking fancy frozen drinks ( due to my health status they were all “Virgin”. ) But yeah I finally feel human again which will help writing bigtime. It is quite distracting being nauseus non stop and gave me a real damper.

But yay I am back and better at last!
