Well, I just wanted to thank those who supported me, be it by watching, feedback...etc.
Being part of the DA cummunity, I greatly appreciate the advice of those of you who've helped me improve. Looking back at my work I can see many skills and positive things in general I've gained and acquired through collaborations, requests...etc. I mostly enjoyed learning to adapt to the digital art world.
I don't quite know what else to say...
I've made couple of resolutions for this next DA year; 1st - more colours in my gallery, 2nd - be more active, 3rd - try new skills, styles...etc. (Hopefully it should further my develpment.)

Thanks

Well, I just wanted to say that I might not be as active as before and that submissions, trades, collabs and etc may take time. It's a shame, because just bought me a 2 months subscription. Nevertheless, it doesn't mean that I wont be replying to your messages and I'll keep an eye out for your work.

I might aswell show you what I've got in store for my next lot (whenever that is).





I also wanted to mention couple of DA users who've done something nice with my linearts.

I'll be uplaoding new stuff and do the usual. What other news do I bring thsi time... Some of you may have realised that I've changed many things in my gallery. I've removed some art workand I've modified some others, just thought it was about time I cleaned things up. Unfortunately, I deleted the ones I wanted out of the gallery. Now that I think about it, I should had put them in scraps... just in case ¬_¬

I just wanted to inform whoever watchs my gallery that I might not be on for sometime. I really hope that it works again very soon, but that's unlikely. Reliable computer are pricey and I don't think I can afford one just yet. About my art now, I certainly can't put up anything at the moment but I am hoping to find a way to scan then onto other computers avalable to me. But I must say, I have very little access to any other pc apart from mine.

I leave you with a little something

I've been away for sometime and now I'm back. Since I don't do journals very often I thought that it would be kinda cool to keep my watchers notified of my current situation.

For the past couple of weeks I haven't been very active and so I'd like to explain why I'm suddenly back and submitting again. I had an art blockage... yes shit happens and you just gotta do with it. Meanwhile I was trying to force myself to draw as much as I could, but it just wouldn't work. That's until couple of days ago, when I discovered my cure. I call it "Straight From The Heart", because it lets me draw what I really feel like. In a previous journal I mentioned "Art From The Heart" but never got around to do it. Now, I hope to finally acheive that and so, at least every week I'll be uploading a piece (straight from my heart... lol).

Also, I'll be doing a big clear up of my gallery and favorites >_<

Enough said!
I just wanted to open up 3 slots for anyone who wishes to do a Collaboration, Trade, Request or anything else I haven't mentioned. I'll open more slots later. (on a first-come, first-served basis)

Slot 1 - - Art Trade (Scketchy Piece)

One last thing!
I'd like to thank couple of people for their work.

Now, back to my DA life. Well, I'd like to say that I might not be making flashy art anymore. What I mean is, the fancy clothed charcters and stuff. Instead, I'd like to revert back to more "from the heart" art. This doesn't mean that I'll stop, but instead, I'll submit less of the flashy stuff... probably ¬_¬

I made plans to do so much that in the end I didn't lift a finger. But that is until yesterday... or today ¬_¬ I recently finsihed few contests for which I did some work I was more or less pleased with. You can check them out on my previous journal, especially the pieces I've completed for contest ([link] and [link]).

I know I don't write too many journals and that's because I believe it should to unload things before the overwhelm you (sort of like an emotional dumping... lol ¬_¬ ahem right...). Well, as for that, I have my share too but I won't go into that. Btw, who gets irritated by Icream Vans and their annoying music?

Back to my DA life...
Currently I am working on somethign rather new for me, "perspectives" in my art. This is a big step up to my current skills and hopefully, if luck and patience are on my side I should acheive some decent work (optimistic). Also, I really want draw "music". I know this might not make sense to many of you, but what I mean is drawing what you see, think or feel when you listen to certain music. Gosh, this is getting a bit long now. In short... I'll work on sketch ([link]) *excited* and then probably I'll collaborate with for a bunch of things. I also entered contest that ends 23rd of july (temporary deadline) and it is going to be a fight scene.

My -WIP-:
([link] [link] [link] [link] [link])

There are artists who coloured some of my linears and it would be nice of you to check their work. ([link] [link] [link] [link] [link] [link] [link] [link] [link] [link] [link] [link])

There was so much that I don't know where to start...
The place was huge, graphic designer, illustrators and all sorts of people were there. The purpose ofthe event was to show the Adobe's new products. There were seminars and training sessions, asyou can imagine they where all packed >_<. It had to takeme two days to see most ofthe shows I wanted to check out, yet I haven't managed to see them all. Amongst those I had the chance to go to were: Adobe PDF presentation (which was boring), Photoshop CS3 turorialsand stuff (I love it), Illustrator (really cool too), Flash and Dreamweaver training sessions (awesome they were), Web trading and design stuff (boring) and seminars on the CS3 programs (weren't too bad). I'm sure I missed out few stuff but who care, they main thing is here. The really cool part of this event was the trials at the latest technologi (e.g. massive Wacom screen where you can actually draw on the screen you're viewing!AMAZING isn't it! and of course thefree goodies). I took few pictures for those of you who'd like to see, in scraps. (not great quality thought)

Back to DA now!
COMPLETED:
contest piece ([link]) - deadline 15th june

weapons of all sorts ([link]) - dealdine 16th june

contest pieces ([link] [link]) - deadline 30th june

contest piectures ([link] [link]) - deadline 26th june

The aim is to put up the first 10 people who comment, 3 of their best work up in this journal and hopfully help them get seen. It would also require them to do the same for their journal(s). Hence, more people will see their work and hopfully support them.

1. Like myself, this DA artist is still developing, he has a an interesting approach to the arts. Skilled in both, writting and drawing, this Deviant Artist is a watch out for! ([link] [link] [link])

2. Well, what can I say... his work leaves me speechless. His flashy colouring is a jawdropper. Just check himout and you'll see for yourselves! ([link] [link] [link])

3. Probably one of the smartest and self-inventive person on DA. This person is a another genius in desguise amongst us, the norm, the average, the everyone else. Only through DA, such rarety can be seen. ([link] [link] [link])

4. Colourful, young, vivid, cute and fresh... This artist has got what it takes to feast your eyes... definitely a must see!
([link] [link] [link])

5. Well, I've only just got to know this DA user and he's bringing storm with him (Bright and flashy... just like his work)!!!

Many Artists on DA seem to use it and I sort of wanna see how far I can move away from my sadly colourless pen on paper drawings.

I was hoping if you could give me details on what I should expect from it, what specs I should be looking for and at what price. I don't wanna spend too much money on it coz it is experimentation at this stage.

Thanks

Why on earth do I sill go on the DA site duing this critical time of the year... I don't know. Maybe it is because I keep searching for something new, in the hope of finding something that'll trigger me to take my drawings to a newer level. Oh well, it'll have to wait for until I am free from academical examinations and assesments.

But I also wanted to advetise few artists whom I feel should deserve more exposure to wider publicity. Seriously, these guys are amazing and you must got check their work!







...and I'd like to thank those of you who support me
and my bro ([link])

Ultimately, I want to end this journal with couple of picture in relation to the people I mentioned earlier. These include collaborations and requests...etc.

I'm surprised it has been viewed so many times... For it, I'll do a piece of art and I'll need all those of you who visit my page to help me draw it!

1K views picture: Can you tell me what you'd like me to draw for you all. You can come up with anything and I'll try to compromise, adapt and incorporate all your ideas.

1. I'll respond with something random about you.
2. I'll challenge you to try something.
3. I'll pick a colour that I associate with you.
4. I'll tell you something I like about you.
5. I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
6. I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.
7. I'll ask you something I've always wanted to ask you.
8. If I do this for you, you must post this in your journal!

Thank you all

I will have to stop all my artistic activities until I finish my academic year. Although it'll only be for a duration of two to three months, I'll try my best to resist all temptation! I'll still occasionally visit to check on things. Well, I'll finish all the Collabs and Commisions I have rigth now and then take the break.

Thank you to all of you who support me and I shall come back once I am finished with studies/revisions.

Take care!
