I was hoping it would never come to this, but it's recently come to my attention that my artwork is being stolen. I had never had this problem before, and it's suddenly been happening a lot.

I really don't want to have to reduce the size of my artwork so that you can barely see them anymore. I like keeping my artwork large enough for you guys to be able to see the smaller details, as many people have asked me about how I do certain things, and having very small pictures makes it even harder to teach. I don't consider myself an expert artist by any means, but I love sharing what I do know with people who are interested.

Also, I would prefer not to watermark my drawings, because I hate the way that looks and I'd like to think I can trust people to not steal my work. If you like my style enough to want to claim it as your own, I'm flattered and I will be more than happy to try to teach you. However, claiming my work as your own not only violates copyright laws, but it's an extremely low thing to do.

So here is what I will be doing: I'm not going to reduce the size of my pictures, and I'm not going to watermark them...YET. I like sharing my work with others, and as I mentioned above, I'm, actually somewhat flattered that people like my drawings. However, if you do plan on using my artwork on your MySpace, Facebook, or whatever, you must credit me and link to my deviantArt profile page. If I find any of my artwork elsewhere without this credit, you can be sure I will do whatever I can to take not only my artwork off your page, but your entire profile off of the website, if possible. I know for a fact that Facebook (and likely others) have policies against plagiarism that can have you eliminated from their site forever. And I hardly think that it is too much to ask for a credit. I don't care what you do with it (unless you're doing something illegal with it...I dunno what, but I'm sure people could find something), as long as you link to me!

And I'd also just like to restate the following: I'm definitely here to help you. If it's my style that you like and would like to try, please message me and I will do whatever I can to help you out. I haven't submitted anything new lately due to...a variety of reasons, but I'm still checking my account frequently.

Don't plagiarize! You'll feel so much better knowing that something is your own creation, and deep down, that you're not a thief.

Keep on rockin' in the free world, kids.

I just figured I should let you now I'm not actually dead. I've just been living under a rock for the past 8 months.

So I suppose I have some explaining to do. I noticed a few weeks ago that my last piece of artwork posted here was uploaded on THANKSGIVING. And that's the Canadian one, not that end-of-year snow-on-the-ground American one. So you would expect me to do something about that, now wouldn't you (or maybe you wouldn't considering how many journals I've written apologizing for my lateness)?

But this time I actually DID try to take action. I began working on something a little different, right around March. That didn't work out, it was almost like I couldn't remember how to draw. Then once school ended in May, I tried again, something a little more my style, and it was still BAD. I almost cried, what the hell is wrong with me?

Then it dawned on me. Since going to university, my hands have been slacking off (it's at this point that I remind you I'm NOT a man...hahahaa...I'm dirty). They rarely come into contact with any writing utensils anymore, since I use my laptop to take lecture notes and write all essays on my computer like a normal person would. You should see my handwriting right now, it looks like a right-handed 2-year-old is trying to write in Hebrew with her left hand. I mean, seriously. I've been trying to write more by hand so it can get back into the habit again, but I suddenly feel all my tendonitis from being a cashier typing on an awkwardly-angled keyboard for 4 years coming back to me. Which is odd, I've never had that result from writing before. In university, I also didn't bring my art supplies, since I figured they would be either stolen or destroyed (I lived in co-ed residence), and even if I HAD brought them, I had no scanner. You wouldn't have seen them anyway! Not until like, now anyway.

Basically the intent of me even writing this is to let you know that I'm seriously working on getting my drawing abilities back. I also quit playing piano since I couldn't bring it with me, and I almost lost that too. But THAT came back with some practice, so I'm sure the drawing abilities will too. There's no way I completely lost the use of my hands in 8 months. I also work full-time at a Nuclear Plant now, so I don't have as much time as I used to when I was a stinkin' cashier.

Mwahaha maybe I'll have like, bionic nuclear mutant drawing abilities in a few weeks. I suppose we'll see. Don't lose faith in me yet, I'm trying!!

I skipped class so I could study for a midterm, but decided to check my Deviant account before doing so and I was like wha? HOW many messages? Something is busted. Awesome. But then I noticed I was in the Daily Deviation row. And all I can say is BEST. DAY. EVER. I have always wanted a Daily Deviation since I joined over 2 years ago, but I never thought I would actually get one. You have made my life, I love you, how can I repay you? Unbelievable honour for someone like me, i can't even describe it.

On a side note, I'm going home this weekend and I'm bringing back my art supplies. Meaning new submissions soon hopefully. I'm suddenly extremely motivated, I needed this.

So thanks again, x100000000%. I suddenly don't care about my damn hell ass midterm, which I probably should. If I fail...I blame you.

But luckily I can't stay mad at you...not after this. Yay! Thanks again!

]]> ~Black-Rose-Immortal Massive Clean-Up and New Submission http://Black-Rose-Immortal.deviantart.com/journal/10318767/ http://Black-Rose-Immortal.deviantart.com/journal/10318767/ Sat, 07 Oct 2006 20:44:59 PDT . I guess that should just motivate me to draw more...? In case you haven't looked yet, I've cleaned out a ridiculous amount of drawings I did when I first started drawing. If you hadn't seen them yet...you weren't missing anything. I felt like they were conflicting with my current style and technique, and while I don't normally like sweeping the old, in-the-process-of-learning stuff under the rug, they were really bothering me. I didn't feel like they were decent examples of what I can do, and they were dominating my gallery. There are still a few in there that I'd like to get rid of, but I would have almost nothing in my gallery if I got rid of everything I'd like to. But PS, thanks to everyone who gave me pointers and supported me during the learning process...of course I'm not done yet so don't stop, but by getting rid of those deviations I got rid of a lot of helpful comments. Deleting the comments along with the drawings was much harder for me than deleting the drawings. I'm just glad there is a place like this with so many helpful people...that sounds cheesy and cliche even to me, but it's true. Without the exposure and criticism I get on DeviantArt I would never learn anything because my work would always look decent to me. And my mom...my mom says I'm cool.

So all that is left now is to get a new deviant ID. I was going to delete that too because I'm so sick of it, but I left my camera at school and I don't want to go ID-less. Soon! There's a word you've never heard out of me before.

Anyway, I've also submitted a new deviation in case you're blind or a first-time viewer. Please check it out and tell me what you think.

Peace

I actually do have something on the go that is looking alright, and I was going to post a WIP of it, but decided not to since it would have been a long time until I got a chance to finish it. So hopefully after this weekend (Canadian Thanksgiving for you Internationals) I'll have something new for you guys.

I'm also going to be redoing my ID because I don't like it and want something better. Once I get a few more new drawings up, I will also be moving my older ones to my scraps because I feel that they take away from the rest of my gallery. They'll still be around, they just won't be in my main gallery.

And last but not least, thanks for all the pageviews! I was about to post a "Commission for the 10 000th page view" but when I got to my page it had already rolled over. Quite a bit over. I don't know what's been happening lately since I haven't posted anything in a while (comments, art, journals or ANYTHING), but my views have really been picking up speed. So thank you all very, very much, I'm incredibly grateful. It's hard to get noticed on a community as large as Deviant Art, so 10 000 page views means a lot to me.

And now I have homework to do, but I PROMISE new work sometime in the next week. Unless I break my hand or suffer some other debilitating injury, then you understand I hope. If you don't then...too bad.

Thanks to you all again!

I've actually been looking for inspiration somewhere. I'm waiting on that killer reference to come flying at me. So if you've got any suggestions, let me know, as I've already unsuccessfully suggested 2845.76 times before.

Besides not drawing, I can't say I've been up to too much. I've got a new band called Elektrisq (we basically play metal on piano and violin, and we hook up pedals occasionally so it sounds wicked), and we played our first show last weekend. And we've already gotten a free recording. No joke, the guy who runs a studio (which I've recorded in before so I know it's good) said he'll record us for free. Damn, the old band never got this much action so fast. I've hook you guys up with some tracks once they're done, but they won't be ready until the new year. So unfortunately most of my free time is spent writing new tracks and figuring out how to do certain metal covers on classical instruments (we played a little Metallica at out show and it went over crazy good). BUT, that being said, I really, REALLY want to draw something, and now I'm expected to design a CD cover for us as I did with DeathCharge - Amaranth. Damn. Oh well, life's sweet, can't complain

.

\m/ Rock on, peeps. \m/

PS - I technically did do a little updating besides the journal. With the new devArt updates, my avatar no longer blended into the background because they changed the colour slightly (grr) and also my user ID no longer fit properly. It's still screwed up, probably, but I'm far too lazy to do too much about it. ]]> ~Black-Rose-Immortal Yay!

Are you proud of me? Nine months after the release of "Nightmares," I finally have something for you guys. I guess that's nothing to be proud of though...it just proves I'm a lazy bum.

I want to know what you all think of my newest, "Dream Girl." I'm sort of trying to take my art in a slightly different direction, as you can likely tell. I was just having a look at my gallery, and cringed at a few of those earlier drawings. At the same time though, I know we all have to start somewhere and improve. For the first time in my life, I feel like I'm actually improving at what I'm doing. Not to sound stuck-up or anything, I still have a long way to go, but it's reassuring for me to notice my own improvement. I've never seen that in myself before. It's motivating, and now I want to finish the series I've started with "Nightmares." I already can't tell when I'll get another chance to draw again, but at least I know that when it comes I'll take it rather than sitting around and doing nothing like I had between March and a few days ago.

Anyway, as much as I hate to point out my own faults because I prefer to shut up and hope no one will see them, I think everyone should have a look at my gallery. Look at where I started, and have a look at where I'm going. Both style-wise and subject-wise, and let me know what you think.

On a completely unrelated note, however, my band, DeathCharge, went to the recording studio last week to take them up on our Battle of the Band prize from April. Our EP, Amaranth, should be released at the end of the month. HOWEVER!! I've put some songs up on PureVolume that I would LOVE for you guys to listen to. Also, we have a short clip of another song that's not on PureVolume on our website ([link]). Here's the URL for PureVolume:

The art show opened last Wednesday, where I have "Nightmares," "Marilyn Manson," "Enigma," and "Alice Cooper" on display. So far there has been nothing but positive feedback (except from one man who said he wonders what's wrong with my mind because of my subject...that's not THAT negative I suppose). I think most of the compliments seem to be going to my signature...

Anyway, I know I've been saying this for a while, but I promise I'll have something new soon. I'm having a hard time finding time/inspiration. All my inspiration seems to be going into my music, since I'm apparently writing a musical now. I'm writing and recording all the music on my new Korg SP-500 keyboard (I LOVE that thing). Goddamn...maybe I got a little overanxious since I ended up writing all the music first. I know how I want it to fit in, and I've written no lyrics, but the music and vocal melody is all there. It has to be very dark and depressing, since that's what I was asked to do. Geez, you'd think I have a reputation for that sort of thing or something...Um...by the way, if anyone has any themes/ideas as to what my musical can be about, let me know, I'll love you.

FYI, the lead character MUST be female. And there has to be death.

Well, see ya later. Word out. Peace to your mother.

I had been relatively confident going into it since we had won a Battle of the Bands last November, but I was instantly freaked out once I got there and saw how different the bands were. I'll admit I felt out of place...besides the electric violinist I had brought along for one of our songs, I was the only girl. But I knew some of the guys from another band that was playing, and they're super-nice so that at least made me more comfortable around the guys. I got to chat with most of the other musicians too, they were all great. I must say though, my confident bubble was burst as soon as the band up before us opened with Master of Puppets. Eep.

The stage was four feet high (which I wasn't prepared for, as I wore an extremely short skirt), there were cool lights and a fog machine. The crowd was super-fun too, three guys asked me to sign their chests and a girl asked to have a picture with me. I felt so famous, even though I'm not even close! After we played, I stopped caring about winning because I'm an attention whore and just being up there in front of an awesome crowd on a cool stage was worth it all. But I'm definitely satisfied, as we can record our demo PROFESSIONALLY now since we're all cheap losers and couldn't afford it before. So much fun! Not only that, but we're also invited to play at the Centennial Canada Day Celebration on the military base for...eep...15 000 people.

Anyway, I'm going to go, I'm not sure if anyone actually cares, but I'm too excited to not share! ]]> ~Black-Rose-Immortal Horrible, Horrible Boredom (And Art Fair! Woo!) http://Black-Rose-Immortal.deviantart.com/journal/4888121/ http://Black-Rose-Immortal.deviantart.com/journal/4888121/ Wed, 23 Mar 2005 06:27:28 PST
Well, enough of that. I'm bored, so I guess I'll tell you about the upcoming Art Fair. Comes but twice a year, and I've already missed it once because my arm exploded for the last one. Anyway, I want to go with a darker, more dramatic theme this time around. Last time I did movies (hehehe...I got offers because I chose all the movies that were in theatres at the time, "Pirates of the Caribbean" being one of them), but this time, I want to focus on intense emotions. People are used to seeing me draw celebrities, and now when I draw someone who isn't famous, they're like, "Who's that supposed to be?" I don't feel like people have been looking at the art side of things, but more so who my drawings are supposed to resemble. So there will be no famous people this year, I want darkness, fear, anger, sadness, pain...check out my most recent drawing, Nightmares to see what I mean.

Which brings around my next point. I would LOVE it if you guys could send me any appropriate pictures I could use as references. More specifically, I need pictures that are of people (obviously), and reflect anger, pain, fear, sadness, or anything else along those lines. Even if you happen to come across a picture somewhere else that isn't even yours, send it this way and I'll worry about contacting the owner. That would be a huge help to me! No guarentees that I will actually use it, but I just need some ideas and inspiration.

Anywho, I should probably go. I don't even know if anyone is still reading this, it's probably pretty damn long by now. But this is what happens when I'm bored!!

*Sigh* I'm so happy now that I've finished all my exams. And in celebration, I have a new deviation up for you all. My Amy Lee portrait! Woo! Finally, I hope it was worth the wait, since I know how long I take to pump out something new.

It's just come to my attention that I have a really annoying habit that I wasn't even aware of. Apparently I draw either grinding my teeth, or I jut my lower jaw forward. I was always wondering why my jaw hurt so much after I finished a drawing, but today my brother came in while I was drawing to make fun of me. I was shocked and horrified. I seriously hope I don't do that in public, when I'm like, writing a test or something. I'm sure its most attractive. Haha, I'm an idiot. I wonder if there's anything I can do to fix that. Ah well, maybe not. I don't have to look at me.

Being the nice person that I am, I went to donate blood tonight (I also feel the need since only 6% of people have this blood type.). Well, to make a long story short, my needle-wound never stopped bleeding, but blood couldn't escape because of the bandaid. So it just welled up in my arm until it reached the size of a baseball. And I never even noticed until my friend's mom asked me what the hell it was. So I get a freaked out, and all the nurses are like, "Aaah!" I just wanted to know what it was! So now I have a nice, huge swollen and bruised arm. Yay! That blood better save someone's life.

Well...happy New Year to you all, first off. I haven't been here since last year!! (sigh...lame...)

Anywho, I'm sort of...half-done a drawing right now, I won't say of what/who. It won't be done anytime soon however, as I am a clumsy fool who is stupid. I've managed to screw up my wrist (probably sprained...never actually looked into it) while um...skydiving. Yes, that's it. Skydiving.

Bah! I've been living a lie, it wasn't skydiving at all. Here's the complete story, dumbness and all (I should leave it at skydiving, it makes me sound cooler and less idiotic).

Alright, a wee while ago I was at work (at a grocery store, aka Satan's Squalid Fortress of Death), working the morning shift, meaning I have to cut up all the newspapers and then throw them out. So for some reason, extras had been delivered and since it's the holidays, each shipment was bigger than usual because of the busy-ness of the time. So after cutting off the proofs, I chucked them into garbage bags (four of them, each weighing about 70 lbs). I could hardy pick them up, they were heavy and just plain awkward. Then I realized you had to throw them into the dumpter, and if the door closes, sucks to be you, you're locked out in the cold. The first one fell over the balcony and into a garbage can (good enough, it's in the trash. I'm not getting that). The second, I tried throwing, and it actually went into the dumpster. But my right wrist made quite a disgusting cracking noise in the process. Didn't hurt though...until a few hours later when it swelled disgustingly and turned a weird colour. But I'm not a big complainer and decided to walk it off. Screw the ER! It would be gone the next day. Except it wasn't. The swelling and colour were gone, but it hurt like the dickens and still makes a snapping sound when I move it. I don't know what the problem is, but I'm going to go with a sprain and I'm not going to do anything about it (how much can I really do about it anyway?)!

But yeah...that's my excuse for not drawing right now. In fact, I've just typed this whole journal with my "dumb" left hand. It took like, 45 minutes, and I doubt you even read it or are still reading it (if you are, I love you, this took a lot of effort).

Happy New Year!

*Sigh* I didn't have to go to school today, suckas! For some reason they cancelled the buses even though it didn't snow. We got freezing rain late afternoon, but still, it was odd. Ah well, I'm not complaining. I got to sleep longer, lounge around my house, drink tea, eat cake, talk to amigos, and most of all: DRAW! Yay! Who would have thought that the only days I ever get a chance to draw are the ones where I miss school? Maybe I should just start skipping

On another note, I'm bored again. Very, very bored. I hear the roads are still very icy out there, so maybe school will be cancelled yet again tommorrow. And I could draw again! That would be a dream come true, I tells you, yet I certainly doubt it, considering it's never happened before. Except that ice storm of 1997, when we got two weeks off school. But that wasn't cool, not only did I not draw at the time, but it wrecked a lot of stuff. Not mine, but I have sympathy for the lost possessions of others. Well, I guess we'll all have to wait and see, but I strongly doubt it. Strongly, strongly doubt it.

I had a decent amount of drawing built up (some haven't been posted here) to enter, and I would have taken requests. Last year was so busy from people wanting Christmas gifts. The art fair is usually my only way to actually buy Christmas gifts for anyone, since I need every cent I earn at my crappy job. Oh well, maybe I'll make gifts instead. Or maybe my education fund can spare some change. ]]> ~Black-Rose-Immortal Why, God, WHY?! http://Black-Rose-Immortal.deviantart.com/journal/3520988/ http://Black-Rose-Immortal.deviantart.com/journal/3520988/ Tue, 05 Oct 2004 17:25:01 PDT
So I apologize for my lack of new drawings (this is me assuming there are actually people out there who will not only read this, but care enough about my art that they would have spent the last month or so waiting desperately by their computers, staring blankly at it for an update to show up and their eyes have turned to goo from the lack of blinking!!!! ...Ahem.) and I'm currently in the mood for drawing Alice Cooper. I saw his show last night in Ottawa (such a loooong drive....so tired today) and I wanna do something with the CD I got autographed

. People around here are Alice fans, maybe they won't care that my display is so small if I have an uber-cool Alice drawing. I can put my new Prismacolour pencil crayons to use

.

By the way, I'd like to take the opportunity to mention I'm changing my technique ever so slightly. I've changed a lot of the materials I use, and I have a different approach that I hope make a noticeable difference on the final product. I really want you guys to tell me what you think (the Elizabeth Hurley drawing is the only one I've posted with my new stuff) because I want to improve but sometimes it's a bit difficult to actually "see" my own art. PLEASE let me know, don't let me make a dumb mistake and get worse.

Word out. Peace to your mothers!

I also need someone to draw. I'm running low on ideas. ]]> ~Black-Rose-Immortal Teh Scanninating Has Begun! http://Black-Rose-Immortal.deviantart.com/journal/2897193/ http://Black-Rose-Immortal.deviantart.com/journal/2897193/ Fri, 16 Jul 2004 13:31:59 PDT
So I've uploaded yet another "Anna Valerious" (I don't want to delete the old ones and the comments along with them

), and I've added a scanned "Unknown." It looks better. Go see them!

Hey that rhymes...even though I rhymed "way" with "way"... Hmph. Oh well, I draw, I don't write poetry. It's for your own safety

New stuff soon! ]]> ~Black-Rose-Immortal Revelations http://Black-Rose-Immortal.deviantart.com/journal/2739956/ http://Black-Rose-Immortal.deviantart.com/journal/2739956/ Sat, 26 Jun 2004 09:33:59 PDT
The first is that I need to buy a new scanner, since I have a whole bunch of portraits and paintings I'd like to post, but the only ones I have posted now are the ones that were scanned on my old computer. I'm lucky to have those, actually, my computer crashed and I thought I lost everything. Luckily my dad's friends are nerds, and got everything back. I should get a better quality one too, since it scanned kind of blotchy and it would take like, five minutes to warm up. Eh, screw it. I'm too cheap to buy a good one.

My second realization (more of an idea, actually), is that I want requests. I feel like I've been drawing the same thing for a while now, and I think it would be fun to draw what people (other than my friends and family) want to see. So PLEASE send me your ideas (metalhead_chick@hotmail.com), I need something to do with myself.

Tarja X.
