It has been quite sometime since I last posted onto here in any form.
I would say life has been spinning along at a fast and leg breaking slow pace at once.
Not much room in between working four different jobs just to get things sorted.
That has been the last four years on the job front and its not the only things that have transpired.

=)The Good=)
Finally fixed up my labtop that has all of my art programs on it: Adobe CS5.5 Master Collection, Sketchbook, MS Paint classic, ect.
Been bolstering my library with a huge slew of reference books featuring art, writing, and beyond.
Gaming library is even more insane then before with a staggering backlog to play through.
Anime and film collection is highly extensive making work on in person commission work far easier/better.(Can't post any here due to client privacy)
Sporting a new car and nearly paid that off and currently building savings to get my first house.(Be really nice to have some real freedom and a office)
Made real close kickass friend which is something I haven't had in quite sometime.(if reading this you know who you are)
Finally building a proper work network that is giving me some serious options for a better future.
Have a great deal to readily furnish my first home once I get it.(Be another year or two)

=(The Bad=(
All the jobs working together at once is providing no time if ever to sleep much less relax in any form.
Money is hella tight as in lucky to get fast food once month.(bills must be paid and money saved are first priorities)
Going to need to get a new computer due to my old one being obsolete and needing more horse power for future upgrades in mind.(Black Friday and Cyber Monday please bless me)
In serious need of a vacation because I haven't had a real one in 4 years running.(Anything more than 2 days off in a row without work or being near death sick)

:depressed:The Depressing:depressed:
My family that I loved most have passed away in the last three years.
Tramp my furry Doggy Brother.
Sabastian my fluffy blonde hyperactive Doggy Midget.
My Grandfather most recently being the only real Male role model in the family that actually loved me unconditionally.(One of a kind rare and listen to old voicemails just hear him again.)
I still miss them and it has left a deep gaping hole that still hasn't healed and doubt it ever will.:cries:

:star:Closing:star:
A great deal more has happened but, I'm not looking to write a life story here... just some cliffnotes.
I hope to be more active on here because I have missed the community and can see a ton has changed.(23,000+ notifications worth)
I doubt anyone will really remember me but, if you've read this far in my journal I thank you.
Please don't be a stranger and let me hear you guys in the comments.(kinda curious on who I once knew is still around)

Till next post which I hope is far sooner than a year from now.=)

Seeing how deviantART is celebrating it's 14th anniversary I figured it would be good to participate and look back on things.

It has been almost 8 years since I first joined this site and posted art. Granted that I'll admit it wasn't the full original reason why I joined.

I joined DA halfway through my first half of freshmen year in high school. At that time I went on during one of my classes that literally no one would ever show up to.
When no one showed up computer free time was allotted. Because of that it was the first real time I actually used the computer and internet in my life.

Naturally I did what an teen boy would do. I'd search for "questionable materials" and comics to pass the time.:lol:

a bigger May by Kazecat
Believe it or not this was the first deviantART picture that I came across in my internet searches. :iconkazecat:'s picture of a plus sized May that brought me onto DA.
It also showed me that there was much of the internet that I missed out on.

Avie gift for ChaosPowerStone by SonicGal390
You ought to recognize this little gif. This is my first and only avie I'll ever use on this site. This was my first real DA/internet gift I received from :iconsonicgal390:
This little treasure showed me the kindness that this site and the internet could bare.

Straining to Live by lightfootcomics
This picture is from :iconlightfootcomics:. An artist that inspired me with his great artwork and fun comics to pick up my pencil once more and create visual art once again.
I thank him for that each time I start a new picture or comic.

I....lost..my mind by EmptyShadow

This picture is from a crazy artist known as :iconemptyshadow:. This piece shows that putting all the crazy in your artwork makes it all that more enjoyable. It also taught me never to hold back on the nuts and craze when I work.

KH Cloud Gonna' Kick Some Ass by herms85

This picture is from :iconherms85: the only DA artist I accidentally ran into a long time ago at Momocon. This also happened to be one of the pieces that I bought from him and got his autograph on it at the time. This piece reminds me to put myself out there with my work so I can be remembered.

Valentina from SMRPG by chaospowerstone

This is my latest piece of works that I last posted that shows how I changed since my start on DA but, by no means illustrates my limit on what I currently can do today. I think this piece shows if you put time into something you can grow and do something great regardless of limitations one might have.

I have enjoyed the years I've been apart of the DA community and interacted with the artists here. I hope for many more years of fun to come.=)

Placing an update on the laptop situation and such.
Good news is that I got the replacement part needed to repair my laptop and get it working once more. The bad and more embarrassing news is that I have no clue on how to actually do that without breaking something.^^; As for me getting on the internet and such I've been using an old franken computer that should've dies years ago yet it keeps going. Though it requires a good swift kick every now and again.

Though I've been mostly inactive here I have continued work on the multiple projects the old fashioned style with just a pencil and paper. Also keeping up with minor sprite work with MS paint as well as typing up designs and ideas on this dinosaur.

That is the whole mess of what is up with me. Till the next update folks.=)

What is New

2 min read

Wow it has been over a year since I last updated this darn thing. I'll need to fix that.^^;

In any case I got good news and bad. Lets start with the bad first.

My laptop finally kicked for no real reason which immensely infuriates me. What happened is that I got a message from it saying that the hard drive disk became faulty saying it needs repairs or replacing. Sadly I have not the cash to do such a thing making things only worse. If anyone has a way to fix it please leave a comment.

Other side of bad news is that the job hunt has been fruitless and now I've lost my only real cash flow due to me laptop kicking it.

Good new on the other hand is that I keep all of my saved work on an external drive to avoid losing all of my work. Learning from past mistakes. Also if I can get the hard drive disk replaced I can reinstall all of my adobe programs and others with no charge. Paranoia helped in that.

Other then those sparkling gems of "joy" I'm still alive and kicking.

Till next time everyone.=) I just hope there will be a next time.

Hello everybody, it's been a while since I last updated this journal. Last journal was written at X-mas... Yikes.O_O; Sorry about that, gotta work on updating this more often.^^;

=)NEWS=)

Okay the lastest on the new in my life. Well the most important news I think is the fact that I'll be finishing up college by the start of September and graduate.=) Better News is that I'll owe no student debts. Big bonus for making the Grade A work in everything.

Little note: I blame school for eating up all of my time and money making it almost impossible to do any significant advances in my own artwork. Though I've been recording my devious ideas and plan to put them to good use in the near future. YAY!=D *mutters* Damn school eating my scanner fund...=(

MOVING ALONG from that... A major benefit that I still love having is the Adobe programs. They saved my buns a heck of a lot and made digitizing my work a dream. Granted I need to get my hands on a proper tablet to draw directly into the computer itself. Reminding me that I need to start drawing a bit more to regain what little skill in drawing that I do have back.

B-)Sneak PeekB-)

I'll cause much chaos in the pony craze among other things.:evillaugh:
