Those Pokemon are very good! I'll have to try making those sometime. Your collection is bigger than mine(9), but you have a lot of pretty and cool designs... none I dislike. Especially that chibi and all your pink Tamas. ^^  Hmm... just to give everyone reading this an idea of how I clip all my Tamagotchis onto things,in your group picture, in the upper-right corner, there's some stuff, including a pink keychain/keyring/clip/whatever thing. All of my Tams are hooked onto a clip that looks EXACTLY like that. Weird...  Sorry to hear about your Suku, I hope it's not permanently damaged.

That Suku ended up being permanently damaged after all, but it didn't keep me from buying an identical second one that I keep around with me. The only problem is that I can't manage to keep my students! My class points are all 200+ and yet as soon as I get a student I lose one. I need to pay more attention.

It's been forever it seems! In the time passing I've acquired two baby kittens, Lucas and Axel, and a few more Tamagotchi, including another Japanese ocean!



I opened the Ocean, which came by EMS shipping today, as soon as I got it and the kittens were fed. I love seeing the opening screens, where the dolphin character swims across. I set the time, and waited for it to hatch.


My favorite part about this tamagotchi is the sound effects, specifically the changing and hatching sounds. I managed to snag a video of it for you guys.


After the usual hour, the little squidling grew up into a Kuragetchi, which now I need to protect from polar bears, just like the Morino needs to be protected from frogs and humans.



He's a cute little guy isn't he? That's the polar bear to the left. I need to press the clapping icon and then tap the screen til it goes away.

In other news, I've been drawing. A lot. My latest piece is to become a decal for my future motorcycle helmet. The original sketch was designed by a good friend of mine, and I just digitalized and colored it.



She's my fursona, Cidi.

That's all for now though. I hope you guys enjoy! I think I'll name this little guy Wallie.

Awww! ^_^ Cute! I really like drawings that can be so realistic and yet so cartoony at the same time!

[acidiica]

Thanks so much Rose ^_^. I have a commision shop over on Pokeplushies.com where I draw people their requests for Dinomon points, so you guys will be seeing a lot of work from me yet!

Poor Wallie had a stroke of bad luck yesterday, and passed on to the afterworld. I'm not sure if the ocean glitched up like my last one did, or if I really did not take the care I should have. There was one time that the polar bear did manage to attack the poor guy, even after a good 10 seconds of my tapping on the screen to scare him off. He barely made it a day and a half.

I'm starting to believe that weight plays a factor in whether or not the toddler form survives, as I took Wallie to my second job with me and had no time to play games with him, so instead I fed him snacks to fill his happy hearts. I did this one other time as well, and that Kuragetchi didn't make it through either. This will be something to test.

I've already restarted the Ocean, and I have a new little jellyfish guy named Shades.

Great to see you updating your logs again, Anna! Your Ocean looks awesome, and the pictures are excellent as always! But I'm very sorry to hear about poor Wallie. That's just the way those Oceans are, very random in death.

Hope you have better luck with Shades!

And that picture is awesome, great great job!!

[acidiica]

Thanks Ginji! Great to see you all again after my absence.

All is well so far. I'm keeping Shades' weight low, feeding him a minimal amount of snacks, and only unpausing him when I know he'll be at my side and I can attend to him as soon as he calls. The polar bear attacks about every 45 minutes or so it seems, so I'm trying to time it so that I'm there in the vicinity when it should.

He was paused the whole time I was at work yesterday, and a little more when I just couldn't give him my full attention. Now he's sitting right by the computer with me as I type  :luck:

Let's hope for a teen this time!

[ginjirotchi]

Good luck good luck!! I'm sure you will do grreaat this time, since it looks like your really taking extra precautions. Here's a little tip for you: Don't let your Ocean loose any sleep hours. I make sure of that every time, and always get an adult. Hope that can help you a little.

[alexa]

Wow Anna, that drawing is great! I'm taking a class this semester that's just about drawing animals, all we do is go to zoos and stuff

That's so great that you're having fun with your ocean! My tricks are, I never feed snacks, ever. They can tell. I keep them up all hours of the night though and still get adults. I never let the bear get them if I can help it, though.

Good luck with Shades!

[acidiica]

Thanks for the tips guys! I've never heard of that technique before ginji. Alexa that sounds like a class I'd like to take! Unfortunately, all the art classes here at Rutgers are specifically only for art majors.

All's well on the Shady front. Shades got sick earlier so that means he should be changing later on today. Either changing or dying, but at least it's some type of results. He's been perfectly safe from all polar bears, and his hearts barely ever drop below one on each. Lets hope for a teen this time!

Other than the tamagotchi aspect, I've done two commissions for people at PokePlushies. One was a Luxray someone asked for, and the other was a custom Kua that the PokePlushies artist herself, Quetzal asked for.

Guys, I have wonderful news! Yesterday evening I checked on my Umino, and to my happy surprise I found that he had turned into a teen! This is only the second time I've gotten a teen character on the Umino tamagotchi. I got the lower of the two teen characters, Kingyotchi, whom I was kind of hoping to get since I had the other one, the dolphin Otototchi.

Kingyotchi looks like a cute little froggy or a fish, and the great thing about teen characters on the Umino is that they swim all around! They don't just stop at the front screen, but they swim off screen at one end and come back at the other, while the bubbles just keep floating up. It's an adorable animation.

I currently don't have any pictures to show since I'm getting ready for work, but be sure they'll be here soon!
