Man-Eating-Llama

(Note: It's been years since my last journal entry because I realized that in all honesty I don't like making them or reading them.  That being said, I was getting tired of my most current journal entry being the one I made way back when I first got a copy of Photoshop.  Practically half of my gallery has been submitted since then, and it just seems inaccurate to keep a post up about how I'm so excited and can't wait to get started.)
