Welcome to my DeviantArt page. How you got here, I don't know, because there's no way it could have been intentional. It's neither very pretty nor particularly eye-catching but I'm glad to see it warrants your attention nonetheless.

I'm going to follow in the footsteps of ~Kaidona and whore out our awesome message board: Obsidian Rain.

It's a general (though predominantly dark) free-form role-playing board that is now in its second stage after renovations that took us years. We've been having a lot of difficulty getting traffic, let alone members that stay for more than a week or post more than one thing, so if you're into this kind of thing or know somebody who is, at least check it out. Thanks.

I've been thinking about getting things put on here a lot, actually, and I have drawn up a few new things and am trying to draw up more. I'll be getting a laptop soon, and that might help, especially because I'll be going on vacation for Christmas (as usual) and something tells me that this year I'll go completely nuts without the internet.

That's all I've got for now, though. I promise I'll try and be more active on here and everywhere else next year.

It's nice that people like it but it's not exactly an original work of art nor is it anything I put any effort into, not to mention I've changed it a lot since I uploaded it. And it's slightly annoying to get a message saying something I only uploaded was favorited when my artwork doesn't really get anything.

Besides that, I'm gonna try and get something up soon-like and maybe even upload the desktop I have now so I can finally retire the old one.

I'll keep this one short. All I'm really here to say is that my old journal is REALLY outdated, and that I've finally got over 1,000 pageviews. I have this crappy cold right now and I'm too lazy and tired to say anything else.

[Insert really big thank-you speech to all the people who came and took a look at my crap that sounds as though I'm actually excited here.] ]]> ~CosmosCanine http://CosmosCanine.deviantart.com/journal/6096091/ http://CosmosCanine.deviantart.com/journal/6096091/ Mon, 01 Aug 2005 01:11:13 PDT
(First FurAffinity, now dA? Aw hell no.)

Yeah, thanks a lot for making drama. Not just who or whatever caused Jark to step down, but the people who're launching all these HUGE things in some effort to get him his administrator's status back. Listen, it's nice and all, but hell, don't take over the entire freaking site. I like to look at the art here on the front page, but not when it's all of the same damn yellow alien with a glowstick. As if submitting endless articles and signing pettitions is gonna change the minds of the site's highest authorities. I'm pretty sure most of these people are just looking for publicity for their work and a sense of belonging by getting involved in something "big".

What troubles me most about this, though, is the feeling that all these people submitting this stuff that gets sent to the front page didn't really tell Jark himself about it. I know they're just sticking up for him, but I for one would ask of his opinion first. From the looks of his journal, the members of the community are making a bigger fuss about it than he is. Come August 7th and I feel like submitting something that isn't yellow, I'll just go and do it. I feel like I'll get my ass kicked for it, but... I don't see the effectiveness in doing what people have planned. I'll probably get my ass kicked for saying this too, anyway.

Nothing's going to last forever, no one's gonna remain the same, and no one's gonna stay in the same place. Sites change, and things happen, end of story. All we can do is just accept it and move on with our lives as artists despite what's going on around us. I came here for the art and so I could monitor my own progress as an artist, and as much as I like to get watched and commented on, my main reason for making this account wasn't for the people. I also find it somewhat odd that an original founder of the site lost his position, but if the people who have been keeping this place running have gotten it this far, then I'm sure there was good reason for it. Jark himself, from what I read in his journal, isn't disclosing a lot of information, and I, for one, am fine with that.

I think Ill just sit this one out from a distance. This is Cal, your ranting... Well, bat furry, and that's all I have to say about that. ]]> ~CosmosCanine http://CosmosCanine.deviantart.com/journal/5652246/ http://CosmosCanine.deviantart.com/journal/5652246/ Wed, 15 Jun 2005 02:37:45 PDT
CosmosCanine has 620 pageviews total and his 30 deviations were viewed 468 times. He watches 13 people, while 12 people watch him.

*takes in deep breath* WE LOVE YOU LONDON!!! GOODNIGHT!!!!!1

Nice to know there's one person out there who, while I watch them, they don't watch me back. Really makes me feel special, you know? Like I care anyway, though, since I'm the kind of person who does what the hell I want, when the hell I want, without a second thought of people's thoughts or opinions. This is my work, you don't like it, that's fine, I don't care.

Hopefully during the summer I'll be able to keep active art-wise, since I don't have anything like large quantities of my own stupid age group to make me feel like crap and not doing anything artistic. We'll just have to see. ]]> ~CosmosCanine http://CosmosCanine.deviantart.com/journal/5230692/ http://CosmosCanine.deviantart.com/journal/5230692/ Sat, 30 Apr 2005 14:32:54 PDT
Expect something from me soon, though, since I need to get this re-vamped version of a persona of mine up and shown to people. It's just that, remember, I don't use this journal to keep track of my life, only the progress of these mish-mashing arrays of pixels we all call "artwork". ]]> ~CosmosCanine http://CosmosCanine.deviantart.com/journal/3444367/ http://CosmosCanine.deviantart.com/journal/3444367/ Sat, 25 Sep 2004 15:01:49 PDT
I can, though, update on my DA-wise stuff. I hit about 250 pageviews, which is really, really cool, and though it might not be a sign I'm getting better at my work, I still like it.

But I am getting better, it's just apparent. Drawing, coloring, all of it, though I'm still not quite the best at traditional art. Makes me feel kinda guilty with all these people who have like the BIGGEST respect for traditional art running around proclaming how computer art is like... I don't know, not as good, but, like, screw them, that's THEIR opinion, thusly I don't really have to care about it.

That's all I have to say for now, I probably won't update this journal again in like... Another half year. ]]> ~CosmosCanine http://CosmosCanine.deviantart.com/journal/2173978/ http://CosmosCanine.deviantart.com/journal/2173978/ Wed, 07 Apr 2004 18:23:51 PDT
And those who want to (Myself included) can monitor my progress, which is good. Also, I hope to get some tips and things from other artists, it's best for me to start early, while I'm still young, you know? Then maybe by the time I'm 16 I'll be up there with all you other artists. But for now, I'm going to take it one cautious step at a time and not rush myself. ]]> ~CosmosCanine
