Just a quick post saying that I'm going to be done with this blog for a while. I'm going to be dedicating my time to socializing IRL more, and my blogging time to my new collaborative blog, the Animal Jam Artists Collaborative. I'll be posting there every Friday, so go ahead and check it out!
And if you just want to contact me for whatever, my e-mail is crazcatloverajartcontest at gmail.com (The at is, of course, @, but I don't want any robots to spam me XD), so feel free to send me a message!
Anyways, that's all for now. Have a great day ^.^

Tired Post
I think I might be done with my AJ YouTube channel, and possibly this blog. I want to work on other projects, instead of only drawing Animal Jam avatars. I've been drawing a lot of masterpieces lately, and I recorded the drawing process of one of them.
I don't know if it'll be edited and ready for Saturday, though, because I don't know where the webcam I was using as a microphone went. I don't think I'm going to be completely finished with my YouTube channel; I'll probably make videos for it every now and then for the Animal Jam Artists Community. But I doubt it'll go back to weekly videos because I want to make a new channel, and make the content I want to make- original art of my own characters, and maybe even animations.
(this one) |
I'm super tired right now, so sorry if the post sounds kinda bland. By the way, I'm giving away 10 copies of the flamingo masterpiece, and you can find out more about that on my post on the AJAC!
I'll try to rest some and then work on Speedart Saturday. Cya later!

Giveaway winner + Animal Jam Artists Collaborative!
Heyo, Jammers! So, it's Monday, the 10th, which is when I promised I would pick the winner of the red rare short spiked collar that I'm giving away! I got 23 entries; thanks so much to everyone who entered and for entering your friends as well! The winner is...
Melodymixer! Congratulations! Check your Jam-A-Grams for your prize =D
In other news, I'm starting a brand-new blog- The Animal Jam Artists Collaborative! This will be a collaboration blog, with daily posts by Animal Jam artists like myself! It's currently a WIP, and I'm hosting try-outs for the initial authors! I want at least 5 initial authors, though I'll host try-outs for new authors every few months.
Authors don't need to be super great at art; I'm actually more looking for positive Jammers who can post at least once a week/once every 2 weeks. And lots of different forms of art count; so whether you make traditional drawings, digital drawings, masterpieces or edits, feel free to try out!
If you're interested in trying out, click here for the Google Forms submission form! The initial authors will be chosen on July 17th, so enter while you can!
If art isn't your thing, though, it'd be greatly appreciated if you spread the word, and told your artistic friends about this project! If you want to help spread the word, here's an image I made that you can post on your blog:

I might be taking a hiatus from YouTube
I'll get straight to the point. Lately, I haven't enjoyed making videos as much as I used to. It gets frustrating to edit them, and drawing speedart videos with a mouse is more annoying than fun these days. And I just discovered that I accidentally deleted my speedart folder from my computer. All my speedart footage is gone- including the footage that was supposed to be for Speedart Saturday.
Not to mention, my videos get about 50-70 views each, and I'm not really gaining any subscribers. I don't know if I'm quitting YouTube, but I'm definitely taking a break. YouTube used to be a lot of fun for me, but now it's more of a frustration.
I'll continue posting here on my blog, and my G+.

Rare Spiked Collar Giveaway! (CLOSED)
EDIT: This giveaway is closed, and the winner has been chosen. (Congrats, Melodymixer!)
Heyo, Jammers! I'm back with another post, a post that you will all like very much! As you already figured out from the title of this post, I'll be giving away a RARE SPIKED COLLAR!
My buddy Sophiao2020 kindly gifted me this rare short red spiked collar, and since I hardly play AJ anymore, I figured I should give it away!
All you have to do to enter is comment on this post your Animal Jam username, and the username of one of your buddies that you want to enter as well, and the winner will be chosen randomly on Monday (the 10th).
Unfortunately, you must be a member to enter so that I can gift you the spike, but if you are non-member, you can just enter 2 member buddies!
You must keep your Jam-A-Grams open so that I'll be able to gift you the spike if you win- if the winner's Jam-A-Grams are full or closed, I'll have to choose someone else.
And, yeah! That's all! Good luck :)

Crazcat Chats Episode 2 (Part 1)
So after about forever, I finally made this video. I took so long because I had to write a script for it and I felt like the script was just drawn out and long... so I just ignored it for a week or two. I finally decided to edit the script a bit and cut down on the amount of art and tips featured in this video in order to make it less long and rambly. I'll feature all of the tips and art, but the ones not featured in this episode will be featured in a future part 2 of this episode.
Also I discovered a much better quality microphone, so... yay.
I still need Q&A questions for Speedart Saturday, so it would be really nice if you provide some down in the comments below!

Team Zios Fan-Art
I drew some Team Zios fan-art! I don't know when I'll post the speedpaint video for this, but until then, here's the art itself (which took over ten hours of working on it), so here it is.
I'm in need of Q&A questions, so it'd be really great if you commented down below and asked me a few questions for me to answer in this speedpaint video and other future speedpaint videos :)

Oh Look- It's a Post
Yeaaaaah, I've sort of lost motivation to post anything here lately- I haven't even posted last week's episode of Speedart Saturday! This post is going to be kind of short, but I'd just like to say, I'm still here.
Me and my good friend Karalee, from the DXplorergirl Blog and The Animal Jam Friendship Community, did a collab with me!!! It was somewhat complicated to set up, but we managed to do it and it was so much fun to narrate with her! We're still working on her part of the collab (due to technical difficulties and stuff happening in her life, it may take a while).
Anyways, here's the art itself-
I'm not entirely satisfied with the art- I was trying to draw it Chibi-style, but I haven't had much practice drawing Chibi-style yet.
I'm currently working on this week's episode of Speedart Saturday, but here's the sketch!
As you can tell, it's some Team Zios fan-art! I've been trying to draw some Team Zios fan-art since this whole contest started- but I guess now it's a celebration that they won. Yay, Zios! (Aparri has a fidget spinner.... lol...)
I'll draw Team Mira as well, eventually XD
I'm going to go and actually draw this thing- I've spent half an hour writing this post rather than actually drawing.... so... bye

Draw This Again Challenge- Peck as a Human!
Heyo, Jammers! I FINALLY finished the Draw This Again Challenge/One Year YouTube-versary Celebration video!! I kept having to redo the narration because the first time I narrated it, the audio quality was awful for some reason, so I did it again reading from a script I wrote because I wanted to get the narration done quickly but I'm not good at reading scripts so I didn't like the way it sounded scripted, so I finally did it AGAIN, without a script, which took around 2 hours... yeah... ANYWAYS, the video's done now, so... here it is!
And here's the art itself:
Also, I have Google Plus now... and I started an Animal Jam Bloggers community! Everyone is welcome to join, as long as you play Animal Jam and read/have any AJ blogs! Here's the link to join:

Much improvement. Wow. (Seriously, I can't get over how soulless Peck's eyes look in the original drawing..!) I highly recommend that you try the Draw This Again challenge yourself; it's a lot of fun ^.^

Speedart Saturday Wisteriamoon Fanart + Draw This Again Challenge!
Heyo, Jammers! Guess what time it is? It's SPEEDART SATURDAY TIME!!!! Cuz... it's Saturday. And it's called Speedart SATURDAY, so.... yeah. Anyways, here's the fan-art for Wisteriamoon (at last!)
And here's the art itself:
I really like how this drawing turned out. This lineless art style is a lot of fun :) Anyways, the poll for what video I should make for my one year YouTube-versary is closed, and the winning video is the DRAW THIS AGAIN CHALLENGE!!! Yay =D I've been wanting to do this challenge for quite a while, because it's a great way to show improvement and I love watching other people do this challenge.
I thought about what I should re-draw for a while. I considered redrawing the art from my very first speedart video, but that drawing was just a simple headshot of an arctic wolf, and I wanted something that more represented my art style and channel, so I found an old drawing of Peck as a human that I drew a while ago and decided to redraw it! I didn't record the original drawing in a speedart video, but it's one of the first AJ-Animal-As-A-Human drawings that I've made (if not the actual first), and drawing AJ animals as humans is something I do a lot now, so I found it fitting.
Here's the original drawing, and the re-drawn sketch!

Delayed Art + I need YOUR help!
Heyo, Jammers! Sooooo I kinda missed the speedart video for Tuesday. Again. I keep underestimating how much time it takes to draw while keeping an eye on a rambunctious puppy. (Wow, I can't believe I spelled 'rambunctious' correctly there...)
I've made a lot of progress on the art, but it's still not finished. I'll try to post the video on today or Thursday. Probably Thursday. Anywho, here's the art so far. I still need to work on the hat, and the tail armor, and the boots, but I really like how it's turned out so far!
Also, I need YOUR help! Since the first episode of Crazcat Chats seems to be doing well, I want to work on another episode. A lot of Jammers ask me for tips on how to draw, so I want to share some. I would love to be able to showcase art by my viewers, seeing as I kind of no longer make Animal Jam Art Gallery... Anyways, if you want your art featured, just let me know down in the comments below! Give me a link to a couple of your drawings, tell me what part of the drawing you maybe had a hard time with, as well as what you found easier in the drawings (like the face, position, background, how you colored it, shading, etc) and share some tips on how to draw what you found easier to draw.
Your art will be featured in the video, along with your art advice and I'll also share my own advice for how to draw whatever you had a hard time with. And of course, you'll get full credit for your art and advice! No matter what level your art is at, you can enter. I want the video to be about encouraging people of all skill levels to draw!
You can enter by commenting on this post or by sending an e-mail to crazcatloverajartcontest@gmail.com .
By the way, today is the last day to vote on my poll for what video you want me to make for my one year YouTube-versary!
This poll will be open until Midnight tonight, Eastern Standard Time, so make sure you submit your vote before then!

Crazcat Chats Episode One
I finally made a video about how Animal Jam no longer allows commissions; I already made a blog post about this, but I wanted to make a video so that all of my YouTube subscribers can see :) By the way, this video is captioned, so if you need/want captions, just turn them on! If you use captions when watching my videos, let me know and I'll caption more of them... it's a lot of effort, but if it helps even one person be able to access my content, I would gladly caption more videos.
Also, here's a work-in-progress drawing of Wisteriamoon! I tried to make the drawing look like her, but incorporate her AJ wolf into the outfit. So far, it's kind of like if Wisteriamoon cosplayed as her wolf as a snazzy pirate.
Make sure to vote in the poll for which video I should make to celebrate my one year YouTube-versary! The poll will be open until midnight on Wensday!
I kinda want to either do the Draw This Again challene or reading my old AJ fanfiction, but I'm not going to vote at all because I want you to be the ones who chose the video. I'll probably do all of these videos eventually; this poll is just for which one I should do to celebrate one year of YouTubing :)

1 YEAR OF YOUTUBE! + Speedart Saturday- Animal Jam Fanart for Gellyjones
OMIGOSH GUYSSSSSSSSSSS IT HAS BEEN ONE YEAR SINCE I STARTED YOUTUBE =D It's really cool to have been making Animal Jam videos for a year :) Well, technically, I've been MAKING Animal Jam videos for much longer than just a year. I just wasn't allowed to post them to YouTube until one year ago ;) I believe that the first AJ video I EVER made, I made WAAAAAY back when I first joined Animal Jam, and it was an Animal Jam music video for my favorite song.
Of course, my favorite song back then had no lyrics.... so I made them up. I'm sure they were quite cringey, but the video no longer exists so... I dunno. Luckily, I wasn't allowed to use YouTube back then, so the cringiness never made it to the internet XD Shortly after making the video, I had to delete it because it took up so much space... but I remember having so much fun making it ;)
Anyways, here's today's episode of Speedart Saturday- some fanart I drew for Gellyjones :)

Also, I'm going to put up a poll on what I should do for my 1 Year of YouTube video, so please vote for what you want me to make =D Also, feel free to let me know any suggestions for Animal Jam or Art videos that YOU want to see in the future on my channel, along with any Q&A questions you want me to answer in future speedpaint videos!

Speedart Saturday- Lionessgirl54- WITH TRADITIONAL SPEEDPAINT :D
YES! SPEEDART SATURDAY IS HERE! I've been super excited to post this episode because this time, I included the sketching process on paper. (Sorry for the poor-quality camera; it's the only camera I have XD)
And here's the art itself:
I must admit, it was kinda hard to draw the sketch working around the camera, so I don't know if I'll record the sketching process for all my speedpaint videos in the future. Lemme know what you think, though!
Also, I need some good Q&A questions for me and my sister to answer in a speedpaint video that we did together! Yep, she drew with me! I'm not the only artist in my family ^.^ So if you have any questions for me and her to answer, please ask! (If you're not able to comment on my blog, you can ask them on my Jammer Wall in Animal Jam; my AJ username is crazcatlover )
Well, that's all for this post! I hope you're having a super fabulous, wonderful, fantastic day! A fab-wonder-tastic day! Yeah! Have a fab-wonder-tastic day, Jammers ;)
😄😄

Can't write a long post right now, but I wanted to show you the drawing for Speedart Saturday!
This week's episode of Speedart Saturday is going to be special because I did it a bit differently ;) Be sure to be on the lookout for it; I'll be posting it tomorrow!
Also, my buddy Purplestarclub from the My Little Jammers blog is hosting a party on Saturday at 10'O'clock AM MST at her den! I'm going to be going, it'd be really cool if you came too :D

Heyo, Jammers! I've had a pretty busy day, and I was kinda lazy throughout the week, so I didn't get the art for Speedart Saturday finished until now. But here it is!
And here's the art itself:
I'm going to end the post here; I know it's short, but I'm pretty tired. Have a fabulous day ^.^

Speedart Preview- Ja983
I've been a lazy little kitty and waited until today to draw the art I've promised my buddy ja983.... Well, I finally finished it, so here it is! The video won't be done until tomorrow, though :(
Le sketch:
Le sketch:
Le finished art:
I wanted a pose with a bit more ACTION, so I tried this pose. *shrugs* I think it's cool, but I really do need to work on capturing motion (and Emotions) in my art...
Anyways, I need YOUR help! Yes, you! Y'know how I answer Q&A questions on my speedart videos? I need questions! My good buddy Sarahkey8 is a huge help to me and always provides me with questions for my videos (thanks, Sarah ^.^), but I'd like to have questions from the rest of you, too! So if you've ever wanted to ask me a question for my Q&A's, please do!
I can always use more Q&A questions. Make sure to be creative, because I will only answer questions that I haven't already answered before in previous videos. And ask as many questions as you like! (If you have 20 random questions to ask me, ask me! I won't be annoyed; I'll be really grateful ^.^) If you're not allowed to comment on my blog, you can ask your questions on my Jammer Wall in Animal Jam; my AJ username is crazcatlover.
Also, if you know of any good Animal Jam tags that I can do, let me know! I'd love to do some more tags here and in my videos! That's all for now; hopefully I'll update this post later with the finished art, but I kinda think that the video may not be finished until tomorrow...

I really like how this drawing turned out ^.^ Click here to read the post where I did the Sunshine Blogger Tag!

Sunshine Blogger Tag + Animal Jam Art Gallery
Me: YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY I AM SUPER EXCITED!!!!
You: Oh, Crazcatlover is doing the Swilshine-intro now. Took her long enough.
Me: C'mon, aren't you going to ask why I AM SUPER EXCITED?!!!!
You: Ok. Why are you SUPER EXCITED IN ALL CAPS AND 4 EXCLAMATION MARKS?!!!!
Me: Because I've finally been tagged in a tag!!!!
You: Oh. Ok.
Me: *sighs*
ANYWAYS, yeah. Lostfairy from The Animal Jam Jumble tagged me to do the Sunshine Blogger Tag! (Or Sunshine Blogger Award Tag... I'm just going to call it the Sunshine Blogger Tag, though) This tag is really cool. First thing to do is to answer the 11 questions that the person who tagged you asked, then you get to come up with 11 questions to ask 11 people that you tag! (But I haven't really seen anyone tagging 11 people.... basically, just tag as many people as you can think of that actually read your blog and would see the tag and actually do the tag and if you can think of 11 people, GOLD STAR FOR YOU!)
So, here we go!
1. What movie character is most like you? Why?
Hmm... I can't really think of any movie character that's most like me. Do TV show characters count? Because if so, then I'm most like Mabel from Gravity Falls. I'm very random, energetic, and cheerful.
2. What is your favorite smell in the world?
The smell of a new season. Does that make sense? Each season has its own distinct smell to me. It smells new and fresh and exciting!
3. If you could meet any fictional character, who would it be?
Robin from Young Justice!!!!!! He's kind of my favorite superhero/fictional character. And if I could meet Robin, then that would mean that Young Justice is real and Young Justice is an amazing TV show ^.^
This Robin, by the way. The original Robin.
The reason why I need to clarify which Robin is because there are many, many Robins XD
This is another Robin.
This is yet another Robin.
Season 3 will probably have ANOTHER Robin. (Actually, I hope not. Because the only other Robin that they would introduce would be Damian Wayne. I don't see how they could make Damian Wayne fit into that universe.... If you know what I'm talking about, GOLD STAR FOR YOU!)
ANYWAYS, moving on!
4. What is the best thing that has happened to you and why?
I think the best thing that has happened to me is discovering Animal Jam and the huge community it has. I've made so many incredible friends through Animal Jam, and the Animal Jam blogging community!
5. What's your favorite daydream that you go to all the time?
Young Justice. 'Nuff said.
6. If you could have ANY animal in the world as a pet, which animal would it be?
Do unicorns count as an animal in the world? Because I've always wanted a unicorn. But honestly, I really-really-really want a dog. And I mean, I kinda doubt that I could obtain a unicorn...
7. What are your 3 favorite words?
Imaginativeness! Superheroes! Whelmed! (Wait, whelmed is an actual word? I thought Robin made it up. The things I learn from autocorrect!)
8. What is your dream job?
Since being a superhero isn't a viable job, I want to work as an artist/moderator for AJHQ. If that's not possible, then me and my sister want to make our own comic book/other media company that makes kid-friendly media for teens. Or maybe I'll do both :D
(When I was little, I wanted to make a bakery that made dairy-and-peanut-free deserts, with a cat shelter in the back where people could pet cats while eating deserts. I don't think that that'd be up to health code, though XD)
9. What's your idea of the perfect day? Why?
A perfect day for me would be a day spent with friends and my family. Corny as it may sound, I'm happiest when I'm with my friends.
10. What sounds best to you: a book, movie, or video game?
I spend a lot of time on Animal Jam (which is technically a video game), but honestly, there's nothing quite like a good book. When I'm not playing Animal Jam, I'm usually reading.
11. What would you do if you woke up one morning and found everything you love gone?
Wow, that's a depressing question! I'd probably have a mental breakdown :) (seriously, if everything I love were gone, that would mean that every human being would be gone and the Earth would be inhabited only by bugs... that is, if Earth even existed anymore. I love the planet, too! XD That sounds corny. But seriously... I don't think I can even imagine how I'd feel or what I'd do.)
Those questions were amazing, Lostfairy! Click here to read her post where she did the Sunshine Blogger Tag!
Now, I need to come up with 11 questions!
1. Whom do you most look up to?
2. If you could be a character in any book, TV show, or movie, what character would you be and why?
3. What's a talent that you've always wanted? (i.e. the ability to sing, draw, write, play sports)
4. If you could travel through time, when would you go to?
5. If you could change anything about your life, would you?
6. If your life were a TV show, what would the theme song be?
7. If you were a superhero, what would your powers and superhero name be?
8. What do you spend the most time doing on your computer/phone?
9. If you were somehow shrunken down to 10 inches tall, what's the first thing that you'd do?
10. Which animal do you think is the cutest? (Adorable photographs are welcome)
11. Would you do this tag again?
That was fun! I tag the following:
Sarahkey8 from The Animal Jam Friendship Community
Ja983 from The Animal Jam Friendship Community
Graciepopstar91, also from The Animal Jam Friendship Community
FloraCuteGirl from Animal Jam Cheats and Codes
PurpleStarClub AJ from My Little Jammers
AJkraft who doesn't have a blog
Cowie01 who is my sister and doesn't have a blog, but I will ask her to do the tag here on my blog
And anyone else who wants to do the tag!
(I know, it's not eleven people, so no gold star for me unless 2 Anyone Else's decide to do the tag as well)
Also, Animal Jam Art Gallery episode 27 will hopefully be finished and posted today; I haven't had
Ta-ta for now! If you want me to do more posts like this, make sure to tag me to do more tags X)
And of course, here's today's episode of Animal Jam Art Gallery! Or rather, yesterday's episode... I try to get AJAG finished and posted on Thursday, but I didn't get a chance to record the voice-over parts of the video yesterday because there was so much background noise. I finally finished it, though!

Speedart Preview- Graciepopstar91 and Coolcat89252
Here's the preview sketch for my art trade with Graciepopstar91! She asked me to draw both her wolf and her friend, Coolcat89252,'s wolf. I had some difficulty drawing 2 animals together, but here's the sketch:

I might turn the digital lineart for this drawing into some coloring pages (I really want to make a lot more coloring pages, but whenever I end up drawing Animal Jam art, it's always art for speedpaint videos XD)
What do you think? Would you like to color this picture?
(Also, Gracie, if you could, can you not make your part of the art trade into a masterpiece? If you do, please don't gift me a copy. It's kinda complicated, but if you want to know why I'm asking this weird request of you, please read the post that's right before this one)
