Thank you for the birthday wishes ^^

Thank you so much, guys! Seriously, you guys are life savers <3<3<3

I've been asked to do an anatomy pic of Godzilla in my own style, however I unfortunately do not have an English reference for his internal structures.

The items I need translated are #'s 3-7
If someone could help me out, I'd be so grateful ;3;

Thanks for the advice, everyone. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get any of the self fix methods to work. Ultimately I had to back up my important files and reset my computer to factory condition. It's going to take a while to get all of my programs reinstalled, but it was worth it to prevent essential documents from being destroyed.

Thanks so much for your help everyone. It means a lot to me ;3;

Thanks, I'll give it a try!

My computer's got a virus or malware or something and it is freaking me out because my important files are on there and I can't afford to lose them.

My antivirus is not working (it's Norton's and I know it's not the best, but it's the one my mom sticks with), it absolutely refuses to open. Not only that, my internet is also refusing to open, and I can't get it to open in safe mode.
I've tried using portable antivirus, but they refuse to open as well.

I can't afford to get a new computer, but at the same time I can't afford to go without one.

If you guys can help that would be REALLY awesome.

I'm going to try taking it into Staples if nothing else, but I really hope my computer can be saved without cost.
If anyone has any ideas, I'm open to them. Thanks!

Sorry for taking so long to reply. I've had a lot on my plate lately.

@Silent:

Did you update the sound card's driver? It might just be outdated since you mentioned coming from XP and since it happened at such a specific moment and you don't seem to have done anything to it physically I doubt it's a hardware problem.

This might be of use: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/no-sound-help#no-sound=windows-7&v1h=win8tab4&v2h=win7tab1&v3h=winvistatab1&v4h=winxptab1

Tried the methods described in the tutorial, didn't have any luck unfortunately.

@brennen.exe:

99.9% chance it is just a driver issue, not a hardware issue, like Silent K said. The 'X-Blade' bit is just the case– I've seen cases like that before, pretty typical gamer looking case with flashy lights everywhere-- and unfortunately case information rarely helps unless it is a brand name, like Dell/HP/Lenovo. If you still haven't resolved this via Microsoft Update or the troubleshooter Silent K linked to, then in order to fix the issue you need to identify what sound card you have. First, is it a physical add-on card that was put in to the computer, or is it an integrated card that came as a part of the motherboard. The way you tell is if the cables for your speakers or headphones plug in to the back of the computer next to the USB, network, and other ports [[URL="http://www.overclock3d.net/gfx/articles/2007/07/25214418871l.jpg"]like this] then it is integrated; if they plug in to their own separate slot [[URL="http://vibrotoolbox.sourceforge.net/manbasic/fig/soundcard_back.jpg"]like this] then it is an add-on or dedicated card.

Depending on what type it is, the method to obtain the driver can vary. Sound drivers tend to be the less descriptive and most difficult to resolve in the device manager, which doesn't help.

Unfortunately I'm not sure of specifics when it comes to the computer model, as it was purchased by and later given to us by a family friend. I do know that he bought it through tigerdirect.com and it's distributed by Visionman computer systems. That's unfortunately as far as my knowledge on it goes.

They plug into an integrated port, that being said, what should I do in regards to solving it?

EDIT Woah shit, nevermind. Finally got it to work! Thanks guys!

Okay, so my bro had windowsXP on his comp, and when the system was retired we purchased and installed Windows7 64 bit in its place. All of his programs have been reinstalled, but the sound isn't working at all. You can plug in headphones, speakers, nothing. I'm pretty sure the sound card's kicked the bucket, but my mom's not so sure. She wanted me to ask if anyone had a clue as to the problem as we're not computer wizards.
The comp is an X-Blade gaming computer. Not sure if that'll help with diagnosis. It was given to my bro by a family friend several years back.

If you guys can help, I'd really appreciate it. <3
Thanks!

looool my niece started complaining about what an annoying song "Kid's In America" is. I told her she has horrible taste in music as evidenced by her infatuation with Justin Butthead. Now she's in the other room sulking because she forgot I could hit logical bitch mode.

@trappedolphin:

OMGOSH so cute! Everything looks great and I was like mmm that's cool that looks great, and then the PLUSHIES

You make PLUSHIES ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

lol thanks XD
Yep! I've only made 3 thus far though. :>
I've also got a large penguin form Beelzebub Yuiichi in the work, but I've gotten very lazy and ignored him because he is for myself, so for now he shall remain lacking in curls, crown, and clothes. Mufufu.

@pRopaaNS:

It seems I have some kind of grudge against such cartoonish/cutish design. After thinking about it a while I guess it's because cartoon style is for mass production, as a laconic style for making process of drawing anime and manga less time consuming. I mean, if you aren't drawing manga then there isI don't see reason why should yhou limit yourself to this simplistic artstyle, except maybe for plushies and caricatures it seems to be quite useful.
Or maybe I'm wrong and asshole for writing this.

I don't try to limit myself to the simplistic art, I just don't often post the stuff that has more detail to it, I suppose. Probably because I get too many random ideas that require the simple style to make them up quickly.
Actually I am trying to work on getting 2 comics up off the ground. One which would have lots of cutesy, and the other (which is lacking in pictures right now because it's still heavily in the concept stage) will take a more creepy approach (I usually put more effort into the creepy stuff though…)
Either way I do need to start pushing my boundaries more. Thanks for the feedback :)
