and

apologies for my lack of supportive/random comments over the last year or two, I do log in regular but usually skip my inbox, rarely have time to address anything other than direct queries.

I do keep an eye on things, but at more of a distance.

and

many thanks to all involved in projects that are too rough as yet to see light of day - those who know me, know how I adore rough works :} ]]> http://presteza.deviantart.com/journal/tis-the-season-344100564 http://presteza.deviantart.com/journal/tis-the-season-344100564 Sat, 22 Dec 2012 00:43:15 PST tis the season ~ nonadult journals/personal Presteza http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/p/r/presteza.gif?3 Copyright 2012-2013 =Presteza
You haven't been hearing much from me lately, hardly any comments - not like me at all~! - this has in fact, been the most productive year, artwise.

There's a lot of material created that isn't on dA, or anywhere else (such as the pretty backdrop), and plenty more in continuing production.
Much may not ever be seen - sketchy concepts, just how I like it :} but will remain influential for further projects.
We'll see more next year.

Manymany thanks to those artists who've kept the fires burning~!
Best wishes to you all :heart:

I'm sure to have internet access, but I know from past trips that I won't always have time for it.

From this weekend, I probably won't log in here until I get a day free, which I don't anticipate will happen for a couple of weeks, but you never know ~

Anyhow, although it might seem to be all quiet here, believe me there's a lot of projects in process~!!

Lots of busybusy artists, thank you all :}
Looking forwards to what you all come up with ..

and see you in August~! ]]> http://presteza.deviantart.com/journal/hiccup-298143927 http://presteza.deviantart.com/journal/hiccup-298143927 Tue, 24 Apr 2012 02:05:42 PDT hiccup nonadult journals/personal Presteza http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/p/r/presteza.gif?3 Copyright 2012-2013 =Presteza
will still have internets, can't escape it anywhere~!
but my presence here and response to Notes & messages will be delayed, as navigating sites like dA on a mobile device is like tiptoeing through a minefield of clickables~!

Meanwhile, what's in the works at Alacrityland~?
Most imminent :excited: is the new look :devJetEffects: has been creating for a sci-fantasy Alacrity; a teaser for her face is above (and more on his own page & blog)

A few other character redesigns on their way, most notably by :devG-e-e-r-s:. who has also been working on a magnum opus :}

the past year was prettymuch a blur for me, good and bad .. the usual childrearing challenges, plenty of travel (the type where we need a holiday after~!), chasing one personal/family drama after another .. wayy too much randomness than is healthy.

so, fini to the most random hectic and trying year in my memory, good riddance 2011 - the year of the 11ama - and not soon enough~!

but at least dA has been nice to me, what limited time I could escape here, and I hope to be more involved this coming year ~

another journal to say I'll be away in few days ~ this time for a month.

I'll have very limited access to the internet, as anyone travelling overseas with a toddler will know~!

Here's a feature of some recent artworks:

which will be even more unpredictable over the next few weeks, as I shall be away on holidays after this weekend.

There will be internets, but my opportunities to access it may vary from "nothing better to do" to a week's abstinence.

This is mostly a heads-up to the following artists, who've been in irregular contact over large~ish and ongoing projects:

:iconbastet-sama: :iconDurandus: :iconFatalholds: :iconJetEffects: :iconRikona: :iconSiegeRedwolf: :iconG-e-e-r-s: :iconSmyton4tw: :iconMarcianek: :iconkandoken:

I won't have time until later this week (or next) to comment on anything

but addressing emails, Notes and of coure any art created, will be my priority when I do.

So we had a busybusy time, was fun and worthwhile. Now our holidays are over, I need some time off to recover~! :sleepy:
Travelling with a baby presents challenges and limitations, but we're glad we did it :}

and also so we can introduce our 4-month-old to his distant relatives, and to the big wide world in general,
but mostly any excuse for a holiday :}

Altho I'm sure the internets are better where we're headed, I doubt I'll have time for anything as frivolous as dA ~

So I shalln't log in here till early May

to those whom I've commished,
I expect a lineup of Alacrity-art awaiting my inspection
there's no hurry to get anything done by then,
I'll have prolly have hundreds of messages & thumbnails in my deviant-box to sort thru~!
