Hi everyone!! As of today, I am officially a University Graduate with an Associates of Applied Sciences Degree in 3D Animation! WITH HONORS!!! :D :D

Now I know I said back in February that I plan on getting more active here on deviantART and on Youtube. And I honestly did at that point, but then it got even worse and I didn't have time to be doing anything but homework. But I am going to keep my word to be more active. I already put up the last of the Slender: The Arrival Montage video on my channel (same name as this account. 1,000 subscribers!!!) and I've already made my new account for my more professional art, but I'm not going to give out the username until I get some art up on there. However, unlike I said before, I am going to keep this account for my stories ONLY this includes normal stories and fanfiction. I'll be putting all of my art into a single folder so my followers can still view them at their leisure.

So, condensed version of my updates:

:bulletblue: I'm a University Graduate!
:bulletblue: I plan on becoming active again.
:bulletblue: My new account will contain more professional art and some animation, both 2D and 3D, and maybe some fan art
:bulletblue: I'm going to keep this account as a fiction account
:bulletblue: I am moving all of my art on this account into one folder in my gallery

On February 14th, I will be setting up a new account here on deviantART, which I hope to be more progressive on as the months and years come to pass. The content of my new account will include drawings that show of my advancing art skills, and will not include lengthy novels, only short stories that come to mind or are requested (those of you that are followers only for my stories, I will be posting where you can see these new stories. I apologize if this is an inconvenience to you.) I am still debating on whether to continue drawing for the Sonic Fandom. No, I am not leaving it. I still love Sonic with all my heart, but I am growing out of drawing the fan characters. If I decide to keep going with the anthropomorphic style, there is nothing you need to be updated on that. If I decide not to, all of my Sonic fan characters will become human characters and I will continue on with them. Their forms are interchangeable, so any of my friends still partaking in the Sonic style of drawing and writing are more than welcome to continue to draw them as such.

I will be giving links to everywhere that you can find me on that date as well. I will leave this account up for anyone wishing to see my previous art and stories, and any stories that I have started here (mainly Fear of Falling) will be continued until they end here. But I will be putting up posts that tell newcomers I have moved and where they can find me.

As far as the contest goes for my new tattoo design, I've decided the design I liked the best was made by :iconblack-lane230:, so she is the official winner. Congratulations and thank you all for your amazing entries.

I hope you all will come and join me on my new account, and I thank you for being loyal followers to me all of these years!

Hey people! I know I haven't been very active as of late. Let me give you a little update on what's been happening recently.

:bulletblue: I have a job! I work in the book section of a store called Hastings Entertainment. For those of you that don't know what that is, it's a store that sells movies, video games, books, music, electronics, and novelties. It's pretty awesome! Especially since I'm working with books! I'm making a little below decent pay, not enough to move out and be on my own yet, but enough to pay for my insurance, gas, cell phone bill, school, clothes, and food. It's so much fun to work there, and I love all of my co-workers.

:bulletblue: I got a new boyfriend :3 His name is Blake (not real name of course) and we've been friends since 7th grade. Yeah, yeah, I know, bad idea to be dating yet ANOTHER friend after what happened with the last boyfriend. But the difference is I know Blake so much better than I knew my ex, Rem. We became friends when he first moved to my town. He had a huge stuttering problem. You could hardly understand him, and you had to have a lot of patience to listen to what he had to say. Luckily I did, and I'm very glad. He's a really amazing guy, the exact opposite of Rem. While Rem is the fashionista, artistic, suave, Blake is rustic, masculine, and very genuine. He's blunt, and tells you the truth whether you want to hear it or not. And he doesn't care if you like him or not, unlike Rem. If you like him, then great. He'll be one of the best and loyal friends you'll ever have. And if you don't like him? So what? That's your problem, not his.

We've been dating for a little under 4 months now. It's really weird . . . not that I'm dating him. It's weird that I had a boyfriend at the beginning of 2015, and then a new one at the end of 2015. I've had a total of 3 boyfriends in my life. The period between the 1st and 2nd was 4 years. The period between the 2nd and the 3rd was 7 months. That's what I find weird. It's still taking me a while to get over Rem. I'm not going to deny that I loved him very dearly, and I was head over heals in love with him. But I have to get over it, because he's not coming back to me. I wouldn't take him back, anyway. The way it goes with me, you only get one shot. If you stab me that hard like he did, you're screwed. I'll forgive you, but I'll never trust you again, and I won't take you back. I'm hoping this doesn't happen with Blake . . .

:bulletblue: I CAN DRIVE!!!! :D :D I was so scared to drive at first because of how big cars are and how easy it is to get into an accident. But my parents got me my first car, a little 1999 Ford Taurus, and it drives exactly like a go cart. I love it so much, and I love driving. There is a huge freedom, knowing that I can leave whenever I want and go wherever I want, instead of being holed up in my room all the time and having to wait for someone to drive me somewhere. Driving has made me really responsible as well . . . not that I wasn't responsible in the first place. Driving just makes you feel more like an adult. You can't really rely on anyone to take care of you. You have to take care of yourself.

:bulletblue: Next week I am starting my last semester of college. By May I will have a degree in 3D Animation. Obviously you guys haven't seen a lot of my work, which I hope will change very soon as I get better. I'm not sure exactly what I'm going to do with my life after college. I want to be an author, an animator, an artist, a game developer, and a nail tech. I don't know if I can do all of them or not, but I might as well try. This semester is going to be very rigorous, since I have all the hardest classes. That may mean I will be on just as much as I was the last year: little to none. But I'm going to try and start up my account again. It would be really nice if I had like a tablet I could draw on that didn't plug into my computer. My computer is really heavy and I don't want to lug it around everywhere. I'll be looking for a "hopefully" cheap artist tablet here soon. If anyone knows where I could get one for under $500, I'd appreciate it if you told me.



Alright, now that the life updates are over, let me start with the DA updates. I'm thinking of starting a new account on DA. There's just so much clutter here, and I've been getting a lot better at my art and writing. I'd really like a fresh start. It'll be mainly for drawing. I'm not sure if I'll be putting stories up like I used to. No one really reads them here, and I have a lot more viewers on FanFiction.net and WattPad.com. If I decide not to post stories anymore, I'll give you links to the new chapters in a journal so you can still read them if you're interested.

Once I get the new account, I'll give you a link to it. It will still have "Ice" in it (that's how you all know me :P can't get rid of that) and I'll leave the old account up so you can still see this art and stories. I'll finish up Fear of Falling here, and after that I won't be active here anymore. I hope to be a lot more active in my new account than I was here. I still love DA, it was the start of my love of Sonic, and my start writing stories and drawing. I'll never forget my roots here, all the people that have helped me, and all the friends I have made. The people I am most closest to in life I have met here. I hope that never changes.

Thank you to everyone that has supported me here, those who have helped me grow as an artist and a person, those who have given me advice and love, and those that have stuck with me for the last several years, even when I wasn't here.

How long have you been on DeviantArt?
        
Six years. I've been a member since June 14th, 2009 (ironically that is Lindsey's birthday)
What does your username mean?
       
Um . . . exactly what it means. An icy rose. I originally tried to go for just "icerose" but that name was taken, so I had to add 05 after it.
Describe yourself in three words.
       
Creative. Emotionless. Sarcastic.
Are you left or right handed?
       
Right!
What was your first deviation?
       
I put up a chapter of my very first original story. I later decided it sucked major ass and I put it in storage. The next deviation I have after that is a 
      pink fairy sitting on a rock in front of a sunset.
       Fairy in Sunrise by icerose05

What is your favourite type of art to create?
   
     Writing
If you could instantly master a different art style, what would it be?
     
  Scenery!!
What was your first favourite?
      I see Flower by MentalPrsn

What type of art do you tend to favourite the most?
     
  Photography and writing
Who is your all-time favourite deviant artist?
        I have three. QT-Star SonicsChilidog and PhoenixSAlover
If you could meet anyone on DeviantArt in person, who would it be?
        I would absolutely die to meet TheVampiresRose and Black-lane230. You guys are my sisters!!
How has a fellow deviant impacted your life?
       
Black-lane230 has immensely helped me improve my realism in drawing. TheVampiresRose has helped me to improve
        my characters, and she has kept Sonic in my mind and heart by constantly paying me for stories and drawings XD thanks Vamp!
        Fei-Mane has kept my brain going by making me think deeper about culture and research when I'm writing my stories.

        And there are so many people I know that have impacted my life by asking me to help improve their own skills, mainly writing. By
        you guys putting your faith in me as a good author, I have been able to keep faith in my own writing abilities. All of your rock and
        you are all in my hearts!
What are your preferred tools to create art?
       
A mechanical pencil and drawing paper
What is the most inspirational place for you to create art?
        Don't have one. I draw and write wherever I am.
What is your favourite DeviantArt memory?
     
  I did a contest involving my four main characters, the Whisker cousins, where people who entered had to draw or write about at
        least one of the cousins, and I had anonymous judges (at least I think they were anonymous) judge the art, and we all gave prizes
        to the top four winners.
