I'm sure I was supposed to type something more, but my attention span left for a better place. And you don't have to go far to find a better place than Springfield. For example, this list. This list is a much better place for your eyes to wander than Springfield, Massachusetts. Because, while neither this list nor Springfield have something we would like to call a "sky", this list has words. You will not find words in Springfield.

You will, instead, be greeted by me. Or someone that looks very similar to me, in the way that a list or nonexistant sky would. Which, by the way, is not at all.

Springfield, unless you have a penchant for masochism, is not a place you want to be. And even masochists have their limits. Said limits, of course, being boredom. If there is one thing this city has more of than drugs, illiteracy, Smith & Wesson or McDonald's, it is boredom. If you try to find something inexpensive to do in this city, it will not be legal.

You will, in short, fail.

Failure is something Springfield excels in. Another thing Springfield excels in is owning the 40th Highest Crime Rate in a City With a Population Between 100,000 and 250,000 in the Year 2005. Not being one to rest on our laurels, we're looking for a higher spot on that list.

THAT list is not the point of this journal. I would like you to direct your attention to MY list, the thought and attention of which has been consumed by the monstrosity I have just typed into existance. Slay the monster, read the list, and forget about the ramblings of a very bitter denizen of Springfield, Massachusetts.

-=10 THINGS I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS=-

1) My friends, family, distant relatives, and all decent people to have a good Christmas. That would make me happy.
2) A Nintendo Wii.
3) The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.
4) Suraida's DS Connection to WORK
5) A good drink. I haven't had one for a while.
6) Helium.
7) Anything, as long as there is genuine heartfelt thought behind it.
8) There is no eight.
9) A mild disregard for all the mean things I said about Springfield. There are some great people in this city.
10) The US Postal Service to be quick and kind. Thank you.

But enough about me! I just finished my online Christmas shopping, and I'm very pleased with the results. Presents will be mailed off and around as soon as I get them in the mail. I'm not going to disclose what anything cost, nor will I tell how much hell (or absence of) to get this stuff. I'm hoping the thought is enough, because this is going to be one of the few (if not only) times I'm EVER going to be able to do something like this for my friends.

And DO NOT open the packages until Christmas. Stick with what little remains of the holiday spirit! All I ask is that I be e-mailed or notified once the boxes/packages/crates/whatever arrive. Only three people need to worry about this tidbit, anyway.

Now, here's a very vague idea of what's going around:

- One Something-Something with additional Something-Somethings

- One additional something for the above Something-Something

- One Bargh-Tingling Awesome Accessory

- One Life-Size Fully-Functional Replica of something "Very Awesome"

- One Circular Object that should make a certain someone's ears very happy

- One Set of Four Small-But-Cool Things

- Another Set of Seven Small-But-Equally-Cool-As-Those-Other-Four-Things Things

Still, this kinda' sucks. I've been itching to move from Massachusetts for years now, but there's no way I can pass up an opportunity like this. Everyone had better move here instead.

Gah, I'M SO EFFIN' LUCKY!

Pity you're all going to see even less of me now. See, I gotta' pour everything I got into school now. Promise me you'll all stay in touch and be supportive. I kinda' suck at keeping up with everyone already, but now it's just going to be impossible.

I IS A COLLEGE STUDENT, PEOPLE!

Argh, I just gotta' keep the little issues I've been having outta' the way. Can't be done, I know, but I'll try. I know a good deal when I see one, and I see a good deal.

...

Feed me love and support! I demand it!

I don't know if I say this enough, but I'll say it again... I am so damn lucky to have friends as good as I do. Seriously. Not a day goes by that I'm not thankful for the awesome people that have made themselves such an important part of my life.

I left home earlier today to hang out with Mandy, Mark and Nami. Why? Because they're cool. That's all you need to know. But when I got to Nami's, there was this weird cake with Peanut Butter chips, sprinkles and Pez on it. See what I mean? They freaking RULE.

And they gave me presents, too! I felt all warm and special. Mark gave me monies, Nami gave me a mutant, and Mandy gave me a T-Shirt crafted by God's very own hands.

Don't believe me? What could possibly be better than a "Mr. Pibb and Red Vines Equals Crazy Delicious" shirt? NOTHING, THAT'S WHAT!

...Well. Erm... Pie, I guess. But only pie!

I love you all. Oh, and leave some brand of kind birthday comment/wish. If you want. ]]> ~ProfessorKirby http://ProfessorKirby.deviantart.com/journal/8304235/ http://ProfessorKirby.deviantart.com/journal/8304235/ Wed, 29 Mar 2006 11:51:48 PST
Anyway... In gym, I sprained my ankle. I'm already bored with this journal, so I'm going to stop.

I won't have the money to replace them for a long time, so don't expect me to do much of anything for a while. I lost all my greys and flesh tones. And I'm poor to boot.

But not all news is bad news! I got Metroid Prime: Hunters and Bad Religion: Live At The Palladium recently, and I've been squeezing my fair share of enjoyment out of the two. I'll probably write up my opinion on the game soon.

Speaking of which... I just saw previews for The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, and it makes me VERY happy.

In addition, I'll also be populating my WIP gallery a bit with scrapped drawings. Some will be old, others recent. Bit of a mix, no? So I'll have the scraps in there along with the reason I scapped and/or didn't finish them to begin with.

Oh, and finally... Whaddaya' know? This Sunday I turn eighteen. The day after April Fool's Day. Lucky. ]]> ~ProfessorKirby http://ProfessorKirby.deviantart.com/journal/8233480/ http://ProfessorKirby.deviantart.com/journal/8233480/ Wed, 22 Mar 2006 04:51:42 PST
I'm an awful judge of my own work, so I'd like to ask... Have I improved much over the last year or so?

I'd like to say, "Yeah, that's natural", but I'm not totally sure. That's why I figured someone else's opinion would be nice.

I wanted to compare my newer stuff to some of my older drawings, but I can't find them. So, umm... If you could just throw a quick comment my way, that'd be nice.

Any and all honest criticism would be great, too. I love hearing how I can improve upon things.

Oh, and you don't really have to be a longtime watcher to give me an opinion. Though I've known a few of you for a year or two (I've known CD for over three years), and I heart you all.

...Boy, I am wired. I'll probably apologize for this journal later. ]]> ~ProfessorKirby http://ProfessorKirby.deviantart.com/journal/8209376/ http://ProfessorKirby.deviantart.com/journal/8209376/ Sun, 19 Mar 2006 17:13:05 PST
Yay for me!

Anyway, I guess I'm getting Metroid Prime: Hunters either tomorrow or Tuesday. I promised to pay my mom back for it once I got money from my grandparents for my birthday. It's amazing how often I have to do things like this to buy something when it's new. But I get a T-Shirt with almost everything I pre-order, so it's all good.

And hooray... I turn 18 in a couple of weeks. I would've had my license by now, but I've been busy practicing and whatnot over at STCC after school. So, no driving lessons for me. Not until this summer.

Argh, I wanna' drive. ]]> ~ProfessorKirby http://ProfessorKirby.deviantart.com/journal/8094573/ http://ProfessorKirby.deviantart.com/journal/8094573/ Tue, 07 Mar 2006 14:57:38 PST
For one, I'll be short a scanner for the next two weeks due to STCC's semester break. And secondly, about an hour ago, I witnessed a hit-and-run accident and it's still bothering me. I'm going to report what I saw to the police, in the hopes that it will help.

But I still plan on finishing up the requests I took. It's only fair, right? I'm sorry for the letdown, and I hope you'll all understand. ]]> ~ProfessorKirby http://ProfessorKirby.deviantart.com/journal/8077802/ http://ProfessorKirby.deviantart.com/journal/8077802/ Sun, 05 Mar 2006 19:18:32 PST
He said it was only possible to do 24 full-color pictures in one week. I said 25. The game is on.

I have to do 25 pictures, starting Tuesday. I have one day to plan out my run. Then off I go.

What do I need?

I need any ideas you can give me. I will take whatever requests you throw my way (within reason) and get right to work. Original characters of yours? Game fanart? No problem.

Please help me. I don't wanna' lose! XD

So, anyway... I'm not feeling great right now. I've been alternating back and forth between hypersomnia and insomnia. Sleep is like a drug to me. When I fall asleep, I'm happy. When I wake up, I feel like shit. Hell, I feel like shit right now.

Earlier this week (or last week since some consider Sunday to be the first day of the week), I was diagnosed with something that I don't want to share just yet. That actually works out to my advantage, because I've been dying to get my life together for quite a while now. This is a step in the right direction.

There'll be more to come on this subject later this month. I assure you all that I'm not crazy, or anything like that. Currently, I just have a very large obstacle in my path that I would like to find a way around.

And with that, here's a condensed version of my wasted vacation and what's yet to come:

Vacation:
-Went hiking in a graveyard at night.
-Saw the Harlem Globetrotters. Great show.
-At some point, chugged a whole jug of Cranberry juice.
-At some point, vomited a large amount of Cranberry juice.
-Could not relate the two.
-Started swearing at the top of my lungs because McDonald's no longer sells Chicken Fajitas.
-Won a game of pool with my poker face. Don't ask.
-Tried the KFC "Snacker". Not all it's cracked up to be.

To do:
Tuesday- Upload 4+ drawings on SA, DA, and FAC. Look for 'em.
Wednesday- Apply for job. ]]> ~ProfessorKirby http://ProfessorKirby.deviantart.com/journal/7956641/ http://ProfessorKirby.deviantart.com/journal/7956641/ Fri, 24 Feb 2006 02:55:33 PST

I've run into a disagreement with the site's Terms of Service, which were brought up by a friend of mine who will for now remain unnamed. I have no clue whether this has been added today, or if it was already in effect.

But I ask that you examine Sections 3-5 of the Terms of Service. Read them VERY carefully.

See anything odd?

Let's put it this way... If a man approached you on the street and offered to take a copy of your original art, would you agree?

Perhaps. Perhaps not.

Now, what if that same man told you to sign an agreement that allowed him to duplicate your work and sell it for profit, as long as it's sold through his company?

Doubtful, right?

Okay, now throw in the fact that this same man has no intent of PAYING you for reproducing and selling your work through his company.

I'll ask again. Would you sign an agreement that allows for someone to sell or commercially use your art, name and likeness without paying you any sum of money whatsoever?

God, I hope not. Now imagine that man is DeviantART.

So I ask just why in the hell should I, or anyone, do this for DeviantART. Is that an unreasonable question?

Therefore, I am no longer going to submit works that feature original characters that I OWN and likewise, I will remove all submissions that contain original characters.

It's been a nice second run here, but I don't really want to stick around. If there's anything I'll miss, it's the good people that gave me some of the best criticism and encouragement I could ever ask for. You know who you are.

Just remember that it's members like you, and not The Company, that are what I joined the site for. You are the heart and TRUE foundation of DeviantART. So thank you for strengthening me, both as an artist and as a human being. ]]> ~ProfessorKirby http://ProfessorKirby.deviantart.com/journal/7649319/ http://ProfessorKirby.deviantart.com/journal/7649319/ Thu, 19 Jan 2006 14:44:40 PST ~ProfessorKirby http://ProfessorKirby.deviantart.com/journal/7413288/ http://ProfessorKirby.deviantart.com/journal/7413288/ Sun, 25 Dec 2005 11:54:37 PST

So I got this stuff in the mail fromm SMFA (School of the Museum of Fine Arts), Boston, and browsed through it for a bit. But I dunno' if I want to send anything back.

A couple of years ago, I thought I was totally into the whole art thing. Since last summer, though, I've kind of had my doubts. I don't want to get neck deep into something only to find out it's not what I wanted to do in the first place.

Life's short. I have no backup plans. And I don't know why I'm getting this shit in the mail. I'm not even good at drawing. It's just something I do to kill time.

HOW THE HELL DID THESE PEOPLE FIND ME?!

But then again, I don't want to be a few years down the line asking "What if?" No way. I guess it can't hurt to send back, but I don't know if I really want to go anywhere with the work I do.

Anyway, I also got something from the Red Cross. Again. They seem to be awfully fond of my blood, which I've discovered is Type B Postitive.

So I'll probably end up losing another pint or two in the next week or so. If I can save three live with it, it's totally worth it. And it's so damn easy, too. I don't see how there can possibly be a constant shortage, but that's our generous society for ya'.

And blog sites... suck. I'm tired of whiny self-conscious teens complaining all the time on their whored-out pages with a language of "ZOMG's!" and "ROFLMAO's!" that no branch of the federal government could possibly decipher. I hate you, MySpace.

Oh, and sorry for the unneccesarily long journal. I'm just lost like I always am. And, damn, I hope people do NOT misinterpret this as mindless bitching. XD It's just a release of stress that I've been building up for months on end.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to read that pamphlet again. Damn Boston, and Massachusetts, and this negative-five degree bitter cold...

Well, I've been exhausted lately, and I don't feel like asking people if they want me to draw them a picture for Christmas. I know it's cheap, but it's all I can offer. I'm flat-fuckin'-broke.*

So, from now until the 20th, I'll take Christmas pic requests. And I'll upload 'em in one big mess on Christmas Day. Sound good? Good.

But, hell, I ended up doing it anyway. I went as a "normal person", instead of the raving psychopath I normally am. It was a lovely reprieve.

And since I had a well thought out game plan, we probably nabbed more candy than I have ever seen in my entire life. Well, maybe not that much... But it was a lot. I'm going to see if I can make myself sick, so I can skip out of school tomorrow.

But I'll cut to the chase... We've fallen upon some bad times recently. Anybody that frequents ezboard probably knows that they were hacked...

We lost almost all our topics and history. We are now independent of the ezboard network, and on our own server. But activity is at an all-time low.

To quote our About section, "Next Generation Consoles (or NGC for short) is a message board made to promote equality among different console users. Our goal is to eliminate pointless bickering usually associated with video game boards (IE. Xbox sucks, Gamecube sucks, PS2 rules, etc). We also offer unique ways to express your creative side in terms of artwork, writing, reviewing, and even journalism."

I'm sure if you're an artist or writer, you'd at least like to show us your art. And if you enjoy posting news on upcoming games, writing reviews and editorials, or just talking about anything you like, give us a shot!

Flaming and spamming is nonexistant, and our staff is friendly and always willing to help. You don't have to be too active, we just need some help getting back on our feet.

Verch has busted his ass working on this board, and we've been around for too long to die down now. So we would appreciate any help. Every post counts!

If the link doesn't work, tell me and I'll see what I can do. This board means a lot to me.

I'm going to put all my trades, gifts, scraps and stuff like that on DA. Nothing major, just enough to get by. And SheezY? Well, some of the staff members have been pretty damn nice to me. And they were quick to respond and deal with the art theives (among other things) that I'd reported. So I'll submit a little stuff there, too. Although I'll warn you, I'm getting a new username. So if you're following me at all, you'll figure it out when I do. I have a clever idea.

So, no... I don't like DA. Nothing's going to change that. But there are a few people that keep up with me here, and it wouldn't be too nice to leave 'em out to dry. So that's that. And besides... I'm not popular or talented. Their ToS (they own your art, folks) can't touch me.

Once more, I've given people a few paragraphs worth of nothingness to read...

Anyway, I just got home. What's so important about that, right? Well, I just got home from walking mile after mile wearing two layers while baking in about 90 degrees worth of glorious heat. And, mind you, I had not eaten ALL DAY.

Without that bottle of Sprite, I would've never made it back home. For some reason, there are no phones or fountains between my school and my house. At least, none that I know of.

But I didn't have a dollar when I left home. I had some folders for my classes and a stick of Mentos. So when I got to school, a friend asked if I would give him half my Mentos for a dollar. I'm not very good at turning down requests (in person), so I offered up the Mentos in exchange for a dollar.

Let's fast forward a little, shall we?

The snack bar, for some odd reason, was closed. Now, let's fast forward again.

I was on my way home when I stopped into a convenience store. Now, this store always overprices their drinks and never has change in the "Take-a-Penny, Leave-a-Penny". This is the weird part...

For some reason, there was a sale on the soda. It cost $0.99, but I didn't have enough change. And, whaddaya' know...?

THERE WERE FIVE CENTS IN THE FREAKIN' TAKE-A-PENNY.

After that, I just had to walk through a lot of bad neighborhoods and avoid eye contact with nearly everyone.

I ran into a bunch of stupid white kids that I'm pretty sure I know and hate. You know, the kind with the evil eyes and the stupid laughs? Who only yell at you when they're in a group or have a car? The dumb fucks who take everything for granted and make everyone miserable. I loathe them and their kind.

Talk about a weird day. Sorry about the rant... The sun baked my brain. ]]> ~ProfessorKirby http://ProfessorKirby.deviantart.com/journal/6439768/ http://ProfessorKirby.deviantart.com/journal/6439768/ Wed, 07 Sep 2005 09:39:33 PDT

But that's not too important. But don't expect to see me much, I'm taking Law, Psychology, and switching my math class. All of which are time-consuming. So my absence... good news for all of you, bad for me. Dunno' when I'll be back around, but I'll try to make time. Apparanently, I won't be able to skip my Junior year as I planned, so I'm just going to throw all my focus into keeping up with my schoolwork. Even after I graduate, I think I'm going to set some time aside to live out a few dreams before I head off to college (or the art school that was so foolishly interested in me).

As for DeviantART, I've thought it over for a few days and decided that I will not return to posting art here. I don't hold grudges, but I don't regain trust either. I don't trust DeviantART or its current direction and I hope that the few of you that do care about the things I write (or type) about will understand. While I'm on that note, the same goes for SheezY. At some point in time, I have a funny little spoof of their BBL page. You can all thank CD for that one.

So that's my bit. Sorry if it's poorly organized, but the school computers have a horribly small page font, and I'm not having an easy time distinguishing an a from an o.

...God, I hope that came out right. ]]> ~ProfessorKirby http://ProfessorKirby.deviantart.com/journal/6358905/ http://ProfessorKirby.deviantart.com/journal/6358905/ Mon, 29 Aug 2005 10:36:47 PDT
But back on that note, I don't give a damn about them anymore. The site is so pitifully incompetent it's, well... pitiful, for lack of a better word. I have no intent on submitting any art on there once they do get their shit together. (Like that'll ever happen.)

Not that I care. Like I've said before, I'll have no part in a site that screws over the artists it relies on. The adult art ban was bullshit, the downtimes are ridiculous beyond words, and the staff obviously has no clue how to run the site or servers.

Seriously, what did anyone even donate for? By now, I've learned to just brush off any "promises" the staff makes. I'm sure this lovely [link]
sums everything up.

Laughs aside (or far aside if that didn't humor you), I've said this shit a million times before, and I'm sure everyone's sick of my bitching. So if I happen to make another journal entry with "Sheezy Art" or "Fuck" in the title, you're welcome to ignore it.

Like DA, I'll still comment and stuff, but there's nothing left for me there but a line of bullshit (UNDERSTATEMENT ALERT) and a waste of time and money. Feel free to comment or argue back... I'll gladly listen to whatever points you have. ]]> ~ProfessorKirby http://ProfessorKirby.deviantart.com/journal/6339610/ http://ProfessorKirby.deviantart.com/journal/6339610/ Sat, 27 Aug 2005 04:18:58 PDT
So, yeah. That's about it...

Three at a time, one per person, no porn, no characters that were created by another artist... Those are my only rules. Trades will hold priority over requests, and I'll try to throw my best effort behind what you ask for.

Please contact an administrator if you receieve this error repeatedly." from SheezY Art is making it impossible for me to check my updates.

Plus, I've been considering going back, but it's been off and on. Every time I think "Okay, I'm gonna' try doing this again," SA gives me another shiny new reason not to.

YES, I SAID SHINY.

...Jeez, I need sleep. I haven't been sleeping much lately, 'cuz I'm worried about a variety of things, and I can't keep it all off my mind.

Plus...

Do you ever get annoyed at your teachers when you're drawing in class, and suddenly they assume that because you like drawing, you'd have a great time copying a textbook drawing? Or a DNA Helix?

Jeez, I draw stuff to have FUN. There's no way in hell I'd enjoy drawing DNA, or worse yet, copying some other picture. I mean, yeah, I should be doing my work more often. But their logic is incredibly flawed for thinking that I should enjoy drawing something that I have no interest in. I don't even do stuff like that for money.

...And there's a rant. See, this is what happens when I bottle up too much stuff. It all comes out in random, aimless bursts.

Have a nice day. ]]> ~ProfessorKirby http://ProfessorKirby.deviantart.com/journal/5121716/ http://ProfessorKirby.deviantart.com/journal/5121716/ Mon, 18 Apr 2005 14:55:14 PDT
Due to the fact that I know absolutely nothing about hitting a dirt jump with a bicycle, I immediately fell off, and landed on my left arm and both thumbs 'n wrists.

As such, it's extremely painful to do much of anything with 'em, typing included. Believe me, it's been hard enough getting this far, so I'll make it short.

There's a slim chance I'll be online this week, and maybe even next. It also rules out drawing for quite a while. 'Cuz I can't even draw a friggin' circle without my stupid right hand going into a fit.

So later fo' now, everyone. Be back when I'm back. ]]> ~ProfessorKirby http://ProfessorKirby.deviantart.com/journal/5111966/ http://ProfessorKirby.deviantart.com/journal/5111966/ Sun, 17 Apr 2005 13:11:12 PDT

I mean, enough is enough. First I get logged in as someone else not once, not twice, not even three times... But almost fifteen fucking times. Then half my comments and art get double posted. Sometimes even triple.

Oh well. I suppose I'll be heading back that way once SA fixes their damn server. But I really don't trust them anymore, either. They've made a lot of promises, but have yet to fulfill even one of them. In short, they have screwed their users.

There's gotta' be another alternative to DA and SA. Fur Affinity, sadly enough, hardly interests me. Dunno' why. Guess I'm just not too keen on the layout and system. Plus I'd like to be around a place with people I know. The only reason I'm on SheezY is because it has a ton of artists that I happen to like.

If anyone knows about some other art community, it'd be great. Heck, it doesn't even have to be a community. Just a cool place to hang around with friends and submit art. Something with some atmosphere that isn't so cold all the time. Y'know, a lot like SA was at first.

...Sorry for the rant. Guess I'm just a little pissed at SheezY Art for doing this to people. I suppose I can understand it to some extent, especially the server issues. But I still feel really betrayed by 'em, and I'm probably not the only one.

So I'll be back on SA in a week. ]]> ~ProfessorKirby http://ProfessorKirby.deviantart.com/journal/4585417/ http://ProfessorKirby.deviantart.com/journal/4585417/ Mon, 14 Feb 2005 22:09:43 PST

Click on that link if you're interested in what I've been doing lately, and I somehow left you behind here. I just wanted to show everyone that I have not died, despite what CD may say. Ignore him.

Anyway, I could probably even recommend that you get a SheezY Art account just for the hell of it. Why, I don't know. It just sounds fun. Plus you get all the features that DA makes you pay for for free. I still can't believe they make you pay for the search engine.

Heh heh, anyway, just wanted to let everyone here know that I'm still around the art communities, and yes, I still watch you on DA.

I'm gonna' say what I have to, then let the rage slide over. It's about Anit-Theft being banned. Maybe I shouldn't be so pissed. But I am.

It started, for me, anyway, when someone blatantly stole Suraida-Chan's drawing. I won't say who, as it's not important. The problem was resolved, but hardly thanks to the staff. So I noticed a while later that a club, Anti-Theft, was formed.

I took interest in it. Hell, something needed to be done about it. After a little over a week, the club had 63 members. SIXTY-THREE FUCKING MEMBERS. I think that shows minor signs that this is a major problem for people, and that something needed to be done. Now, if the staff had cracked down a little more on this, would a club have been necessary? Doubtful. Extremely doubtful.

There was no real agression toward the thieves, or at least none that I know of. I could be wrong. But the club rules stated NOT TO AGRESS the art theives, and I think that held up well. The problems were resolved fairly well, so it was working, right? And then, Anti-Theft is banned.

Great, so we try to do something about a problem, and DeviantART bans Anti-Theft? Smooth. And please, don't bullshit us by putting up a couple of FAQs on Anti-Theft's page and telling us the reasons for it, which by the way, were extremely ill-explained. The fact is, I respect the admins here, I really do. The site is well managed most of the time, but they absolutely suck at managing these types of problems. Look at the numbers, damn it. 63 in what, ten or twelve days? Could've been much less, right now I don't know. The fact is, that shows that there is a serious problem with art theft, and DeviantART is not doing an adequate job of protecting its members. Ban the club, eh? I reiterate, real smooth.

So now Suraida-Chan's cleared out her gallery and left. Some others may have, too. I don't know. Do I blame her? Hell no. A group of people try to take a stand, and in the end, it's the art theives that get all the breaks. Hey, way to encourage them, dipshits.

Hell, I might leave, too, if it weren't for the fact that all my friends are on DeviantART right now. That's probably the only reason I haven't deleted my whole gallery yet.

So, great fucking move. I just love how well problems are managed around here. I don't mean to bitch at the staff, I really don't. But if people feel they're having too hard a time settling a minor dispute, and the one at fault isn't being punished, then hell... It's a fucking puzzle, it really is.

I don't think I'll be quitting, but I've lost ALL my respect for DeviantART. One more stunt like this, and I'm gone. Because I'm not going to support something that doesn't support the artists that you, DeviantART, would be NOTHING without.

Good day. ]]> ~ProfessorKirby http://ProfessorKirby.deviantart.com/journal/3740738/ http://ProfessorKirby.deviantart.com/journal/3740738/ Wed, 03 Nov 2004 08:19:10 PST
Anyway, I need the help of Deviants like you. Yep. All two people that read these journals. All two people and the chili dog. And the hobo. And Coll. And CD. And... yeah. Forget I said anything.

Fact is, I need a few "volunteers" to help me out with the comic I'm starting. I don't have a big enough leading or supporting cast yet, and I'd like to throw in a few of my friend's characters to liven things up. IF it's okay with you people. So here's what I need if you're willing...

- A picture of the character is completely, 100% required.
- Give me some personality description, and maybe some back story.
- I'd like an age. That would be beyond helpful.

...Yep. That's about it. I think. So if anyone can help me, it'd be great. On a side note, it also means I have to draw a comic profile pic of yer character, so that's free stuff for ya', right?

I need three and ONLY three characters to fill, so the three best (or most interestin, mofos...) will be the ones I use. C'mon, my imagination's been broken lately. Help me out. ]]> ~ProfessorKirby http://ProfessorKirby.deviantart.com/journal/3539806/ http://ProfessorKirby.deviantart.com/journal/3539806/ Fri, 08 Oct 2004 04:41:29 PDT

I've decided that as long as people act civil about it, I'll do drawing requests. I think it'll help me to improve and stuff. So here's what you have to do...

1) Tell me who or what you want drawn.
2) Tell me how you want it drawn, and stuff like that.
3) Tell me if you want it pencilled, inked, and/or colored.
4) Hope and pray that I do a good job.

So that's it. If you want me to draw one of your own characters, I do require a picture or description. Drawing fanart may be far trickier for me, especially if it's something I know nothing about.

That is all. And forget the misleading title... this service is free...

I am totally back in business. I'm drawing a lot more, thinking a lot less, and running around in circles shouting obscenities while reading fine literature a whole hell of a lot more. So, by all means, let the journal replies just flood right in! Yep, flood right in.

Yep, anytime...
