To celebrate the occasion, I'm showcasing a fellow TradArtist here on dA.

~ImperfectArt333 is an artist with more than technical skill. She's got a brain for art - and that's less common than you might think.
Check out her page:

And check out some of my favorite works of hers:

[link]
^A great anatomy closeup. Also check out "Yellow Bones" in her scraps.

[link]
[link]
^These are two hands demonstrating a very high level of technical skill - but they both fade into sketchy unfinished drawings as you travel up the arm. Great effect.

[link]
[link]
^Two similar self portraits from a series she did. Both very differently, but very effectively, use texture to indicate form.

[link]
^And, finally, a truly disturbing and somewhat Dali-esque figure here. Full view is required for full impact.



So, check out the gallery, and feature a traditional artist in your own journal for Traditional Art Day!

It's a review of fiction and prose on the net, in all forms. This means that if you have something worth checking out, you should send me a link, and I might write a post about it (be aware that I'll be honest though - if I think your work sucks, I won't hesitate to say it).

Anyway, there it is. Check it out, and shoot me links to interesting stuff you've come across.

I tried to move my 'Narrative' series to scraps, but it doesn't appear to have worked. The category now reads scraps, but the images are still in my gallery (/and/ in my scraps gallery!)

Anybody know what's up with this or how to fix it?

If you want to see anything else as a print, or if you've got any comments at all, please speak up. I'm only too happy to oblige.

OK, weirdness... has anybody else noticed that dA seems to be counting your own views toward deviation views?!? That's messed up, man - it'll throw everything off. Grar.



Oh, and incidentally, ~HeartwoodWolf was the first to fake the 1000th screencap, and so I am drawing her a "something." And, damn if it isn't a complex something, too. But fun. So, you can expect to see that eventually, but it's gonna take a while.

-Bleys out. ]]> ~BleysOfAmber http://BleysOfAmber.deviantart.com/journal/9437277/ http://BleysOfAmber.deviantart.com/journal/9437277/ Thu, 20 Jul 2006 12:26:03 PDT [link] has gotten 100 views! This is the first of my artworks on dA to break 100. Interesting that it is one of my more recent pieces.

So, thank you all for your support, both silent and vocal (that's comments).


I would like to take a moment to point out a few people who first discovered me here on dA, and put me on their watch lists.




and



Also, just a reminder, the "contest" here [link] is still on. The first person to alter a screenshot of my page to look like it's the 1000th view (since nobody actually got #1,000) gets to ask me to draw pretty much whatever they want. About the only thing I rule out right off the bat is Furrie/Anthro/whatever you want to call it. You know what I'm talking about. Anyway.... yeah. ]]> ~BleysOfAmber http://BleysOfAmber.deviantart.com/journal/9252913/ http://BleysOfAmber.deviantart.com/journal/9252913/ Fri, 07 Jul 2006 20:55:38 PDT
enjoy.

-------------------------------

I am rapidly approaching the big 1,000 pageviews. Since this seems to be all the rage, I'm gonna offer to draw something for whoever screencaps the 1000th view. If this turns out to be you, you can feel free to ask me to do whatever, keeping in mind that I don't do anthro, and I don't do much in the way of fanart. I'll do whatever it is in either a sketch style (see 'Distraction' [link] and 'Hair Study' [link] ) or my distinctive 'line' style (see 'Pier Kiss' [link] and 'Dark Figure' [link] ).

So, good luck, and remember that I reserve the right to refuse an idea on the grounds that it is stupid or that I can't do it. I don't really expect to have to do that though. ]]> ~BleysOfAmber http://BleysOfAmber.deviantart.com/journal/8980619/ http://BleysOfAmber.deviantart.com/journal/8980619/ Mon, 05 Jun 2006 17:09:24 PDT
I have won a $25 gas card in an art contest.

Not quite "WoOoOo" worthy, you say? Well, how about a 30 gig video iPod? hm? 2 of my three submissions won prizes - one won the gas card, and the other won 1 of 3 grand prizes - that's the iPod.

[link]

I don't know what I'm going to DO with said iPod.

Maybe I'll keep it. Maybe I'll sell it on ebay. Sucker's worth 300 bucks - I can probably get 200 for it.

Anyway, I am frolicking carelessly away from the point, which is: "I WON AN ART CONTEST AND THAT MAKES ME VERY HAPPY!". ]]> ~BleysOfAmber http://BleysOfAmber.deviantart.com/journal/8705589/ http://BleysOfAmber.deviantart.com/journal/8705589/ Sun, 07 May 2006 22:39:57 PDT

RULES:
The 1st player starts with the topic "6 weird habits/things about yourself" and people who get tagged have to write a journal about their 6 weird habits/things and say the rules. Then, you have to list 6 more people to be tagged and leave a comment that says "you are tagged" in their devpage comments and tell them to read yours.

So, I had quite the hard time thinking of 6 weird habits/things about me, so I asked someone who knows. According to her, here are the 6 weird habits/things about me:

1. "You seem to have a list of what-to-do's for any situation; as if one thing requires a list of instructions."

2. "You randomly break into a foreign accent."

3. "You randomly start boxing at nothing."

4. "You have shark boxers"

5. "You walk/sit in a fairly straight posture; always presentable."

6. "You are someone with a relatively deep voice, yet you can spring to a high-pitched rant whenever you please."


And now I am going to be annoying and actually tag people. Here you are:

I know most of you in real life, so you'll have the opportunity to actually physically hit me for this. The rest of you... well, you'll just have to pretend... ]]> ~BleysOfAmber http://BleysOfAmber.deviantart.com/journal/8372983/ http://BleysOfAmber.deviantart.com/journal/8372983/ Wed, 05 Apr 2006 11:15:34 PDT ~BleysOfAmber http://BleysOfAmber.deviantart.com/journal/7894433/ http://BleysOfAmber.deviantart.com/journal/7894433/ Tue, 14 Feb 2006 11:39:12 PST ~BleysOfAmber
