PASTED FROM THE NEW ACCOUNT IF YOU HAVEN'T RE-WATCHED:

The ever-talented faces quite a bad jam at the moment and is in need of doing commissions, and as a former commissioner of her work I can say it's worth every cent. She's very cool about making changes (I requested adjustments on both sketches XD), and the finished product always dazzles the eyes out. Please help her out if you can afford it, even a headshot portrait would help, she'll appreciate it greatly.

Also, if you'd like to help but can't commission, advertising in your journal will be every bit as appreciated. Feel free even be lazy and copy/paste text from my journal to do so, cause she needs all the possible customers she can get at the moment.

Thank youuu!!!

NEW ACCOUNT -



The gorgeous little Ricky avatar is commissioned art by , thanks for letting me usey

How've you all been doing? Yes I've been quiet for a long time, as well as tragically artistically dead... big time. Art block's finally gone today and I'm back on coloring trades/gifts/owed stuff, and I have a favor to ask of those in need of a new avie. It was so inspiring to see *Kuitsuku's new set of finished icons, that I am am finally motivated to try it out to see if I'm worthy of the great science of pixel art. Not style-stealing at all (granted her icon style absolutely ROCKS), but I'll be of course approaching this in my own fashion. Three slots shall be open, so please request one ONLY if you:

are truly unhappy with your current icon
have previously contemplated/wanted a pixel avatar
genuinely believe I can help you out
understand it'll only be my first attempt and it may fail

Not necessarily first-come-first-serve, so feel free to ask even if more than three requests pop up. I'll be making an effort to discern people who simply ask on impulse or are in need of help and will respect my time and effort into it

Thanks for all your patience with my blatant and merciless silence, glad to be finally back in business...
Now for close friends, deviants who've been watching my progress, or just folks who have the patience to read on: You're familiar with the cel/gradient shading style. I've pursued and finally discovered the technique (cause I'm a bit slow in the head with these things), and wonder if you believe it would be a betrayal of my style or the technique's creator if I adopted this approach of shading here and there. I find it very appealing and professional, but seeing as how overused it already is, I feel a need to ask 'permission' persay to start using it for my own art. Opinions appreciated, now please tell me about your day so it don't seem so much like I've been going on about myself this whole dang journal!!!

Thanks to all who watch, fav, and comment, you're very kind to do so!

Special monkey buddy whom still badly needs photoshop from me -

Artists I ever dream of trading with


Frequent commentors and just sweet people I adore!


Friends from animation school



Know what, there have been so many gorgeous trades/gifts made for moi, I gotta devise another way to line up and honor them correctly

(do let me know if you feel screwed over or forgotten and I'll add you!!)

Edit The artwork has found a warm and loving home, thank you to everyone who responded The post remains cause I just may pile up more of them with further cleaning of this place, so don't lose hope if you actually wanted some

K... so I'm tidying up around here, and I've a good inch or so of sketch/inking art I just can't keep anywhere!!! Most of them are pencil drawings with matching ink tracings of many deviations in my gallery/scraps, the rest are doodles I can't keep but liked too much to toss. I'm hoping someone out there can give them a good home so if you're interested in taking them in, just post stating how you plan to handle them and I'll pick their new home based on that. I'll note you for your address and send them in an envelope, but I humbly ask they not be altered or claimed as your work! (little sensitive cause some are of my/other peoples' characters!) Curse my tiny living space! Thanks in advanced for your hospitality

Edit2-Thanks ~KatainaWulf for catching 10k

Thanks to all who watch, fav, and comment, you're very kind to do so!

It's been quite fun filling up sketchbooks for my current trades with ~tazzyorca and =Emone (who's I'm already done with ) so I'll open another slot. So many sketches regularly get tossed away on scrap and trash paper week after, cause there's simply no place to keep them all. I think this vent will keep them going where they'll be appreciated, cause it's painful to toss something I liked XD

Here's the pasted (slightly edited) info-

Basically, we would each buy a small sketch book/pad (like, around 30 or so pages) and fill it up with drawings as you normally would (can include ink work, crayon, pencil, felts, all of the above .... just like you would do in a normal ol' sketch book!).

Then, once filled up, we would send them to each other!

One little rule though, is that each person should include at least a couple of drawings of the other person's character(s).

I'll have one slot open, but if you see that more than one person has already commented, don't worry! Please comment anyway, because I might be a little choosy as to whom I pick.

EDIT - To the first to send a captured screengrab of 10,000 pageviews goes a color/shaded character pic, much like the Loveable Ol' Picallo one (full body)...not that I place much importance on them but it is fun to do the even numbers-thing

Thanks to all who watch, fav, and comment, you're very kind to do so!
