                <description><![CDATA[ Years of hard work have finally paid off. I graduated yesterday! Also I've been hired as an event photographer (woohoo!) So I'll be taking photos for an hourly wage, sadly its not going to be paying like Â£10,000 an hour (if only!)<br />Ok well I am off to go and finish drinking my tea.  I'll upload some of the photos later.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I was so happy when I heard. Theres been a lot of prints i wanted to get that i haven't been able to because the shipping fee is so expensive! (I live in the UK so paying more than Â£3 ($6) to send mail seems too much.... I don't have lots of money but now seems a good time to start ordering prints! <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I saw a journal with this and decided to try it, hopefully you will too ^^.<br /><br /><br />1). Be one of the first 10 people commenting on this journal entry, and I will add you to the Promotional List.<br /><br />2). For each of the 10 first people answering this journal I will put his/her avatar and the three deviations I like most from his/her gallery on the list.<br /><br />3). If you answer, you'll have to do the same in your journal, putting me on the first place, completing this way the list with 10 people. The idea of this is not to get a free feature, it is to spread art around for everyone.<br /><br />1. <a href="http://toasterb0t.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/t/o/toasterb0t.jpg?2" alt=":icontoasterb0t:" title="toasterb0t"/></a><br /><a href="http://toasterb0t.deviantart.com/art/shmexyyyyyy-132103349">[link]</a><br /><a href="http://toasterb0t.deviantart.com/art/Clockwork-Doll-126029603">[link]</a><br /><a href="http://toasterb0t.deviantart.com/art/All-Hail-132880531">[link]</a><br /><br />2. <a href="http://zeichenwut.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/z/e/zeichenwut.gif?1" alt=":iconzeichenwut:" title="zeichenwut"/></a><br /><a href="http://zeichenwut.deviantart.com/art/Stanley-121967990">[link]</a><br /><a href="http://zeichenwut.deviantart.com/art/more-Knitting-Ninja-125881988">[link]</a><br /><a href="http://zeichenwut.deviantart.com/art/Vampires-Eric-Northman-128518956">[link]</a><br /><br />3. <a href="http://wanwan.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/w/a/wanwan.png?2" alt=":iconwanwan:" title="wanwan"/></a><br /><a href="http://wanwan.deviantart.com/art/CotW-150-131323670">[link]</a><br /><a href="http://wanwan.deviantart.com/art/Macaw-123775818">[link]</a><br /><a href="http://wanwan.deviantart.com/art/Upside-Drown-120907724">[link]</a><br /><br />4. <a href="http://eaglecaste.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/e/a/eaglecaste.jpg" alt=":iconeaglecaste:" title="eaglecaste"/></a><br /><a href="http://eaglecaste.deviantart.com/art/Brigitte-Bardot-by-Eaglecaste-123567481">[link]</a><br /><a href="http://eaglecaste.deviantart.com/art/Mermaid-by-Eaglecaste-121946604">[link]</a><br /><a href="http://eaglecaste.deviantart.com/art/Sister-of-Battle-128403725">[link]</a><br /><br />5.<br /><br />6.<br /><br />7.<br /><br />8.<br /><br />9.<br /><br />10.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Since I'm on my way towards 3000 pageviews, I thought its time I try one of these cool Kiriban comps I've been seeing around <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />The first one sending me a screenshot showing 3000 pageviews gets a drawn commission of their choice as a gift. Send me a note with the screenshot and what you would like and I'll start working on it!<br /><br />Good luck everyone ^^ !<br /><br /> ]]></description>

My scribbles in Painter !<br /><br />So will be spending the next 2 weeks filling out my hard drive with renditions of my design and hopefully (just hopefully) it will be enough for everyone to understand my project <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br />I can't wait for the summer and freedom!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Had a crit today on one of my designs...how annoying!!! They skipped over all of the main design work I had been focusing on and went straight to stuff I hadn't touched yet! How many times do I have to say "its a working drawing" before they figure it out? <br /><br />Grrrrrr.....anyway I think I had it easier compared to some of the other students, one of them got sworn at (they didn't have a design at all)...this sucks.<br /><br />On a bright note though <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> Summers coming up and I may consider doing a masters....but in what though? Something that uses more digital than traditional techniques. <br /><br />Any ideas?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yep I'm suffering from it. Somehow I have managed to not get almost any uni work done during break and have only a few days left. I even dreamt about uni ( the idea that I designed in my dream was really cool though, an underwater compound. <br /><br />I'm gonna get back on track today though. This means portraits take a back seat and back to plans and sections. I might post up some finished work when I'm done (July). Thing is a small screen doesn't do them justice. <br /><br />Also I tried out this open source (free) software called Cam Studio. Its pretty cool as it basically records your screen (and your digital drawings.<br /><br />I did one yesterday and uploaded it on youtube - the link doesn't work properly on here but search tapastar and its called Chun Li- Street Fighter- Quick Sketch<br /><br />I might do a few more over the next couple of daily sketches<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ My university work got reviewed the other day and they were happy with the drawings but asked me to continue developing my idea. So far its been almost a week and I only started drawing again yesterday!!! I decided to show a digital drawn concept for my idea and then start working on the technical aspects and plans/sections for it.<br /><br />I am upset to learn that Hakubaikou passed away. When I first heard it upset me greatly as she had so much great art work stored up in her and her infamous polls. I really didn't think or expect to come on to DeviantART one day and suddenly I find that one of the journals I subscribe to has had its writer decease. It was shocking, unbelievable and I hope that her family make it through this troublesome time. Her artwork and her journals will help preserve her memory on here.<br /><br />RIP Hakubaikou <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ University is in full swing and I'm currently procrastinating and trying to get out of doing the axonometric currently sitting on my bed. Still I have been thinking of digital work, I've seen a lot of inspirational work recently and its made me do a lot of thinking. <br /><br />Lady Dyn is currently undergoing some changes, I'm applying some new techniques to her, I thought she was finished before but I've found a way to push her design more. I'll upload the newer version when its finished, Lady Dyn V.2 <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br />Lady Mar on the other hand is like 50% complete but I'm not going to be working on her any more until the summer. Focus on architecture work!!!!!!<br /><br />I have been doing some free lance photography recently, I'll probably upload some of the photos from the shoot on here. <br /><br />I'll be a lot more active during the summer though, I really enjoy hearing about the successes of other people on here.<br /><br />Now for the end of my procrastination, back to the drawing board (literally)<br /><br />Ciao!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I have been working primarily in traditional formats for the past year ( my course required me to) so I haven't done too much digital art lately. However I have started taking it up again. I bought Corel X the other day mainly because I realised that as nice as corel essentials was it just didn't have the flexibility of X. So right now I am learning to combine my skills in Photoshop and Corel to create my best pieces of work. All in all am still learning techniques. <br /><br />I'll upload a new deviation today... hope you all like it.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Sorry for being away so long, university has had me running around doing model work and drawing. <br />
I've started delving into 3d model work (wood carving's and such) and I'm thinking of uploading some of my drawing work onto here.<br />
Anyhow I'll upload a few things soon...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I have been practicing with my camera and trying to understand it better, SLR's arn't my speciality you see...<br />
<br />
Otherwise I will be uploading things here other than photos .... when September starts you'll probably see more Architecture photos and drawings than anything else.<br />
<br />
Also after trying to do a hair tutorial today I have realised the need for a Graphic Tablet, so I have ordered a wacom Volito ( £27 yippeee!) <br />
and should hopefully get it around the end of next week. <br />
So until then, you won't really see any proper art work other than the odd photo ]]></description>
