I hereby declare to be the winnah of my (sad little) competition. Given the choice of a months subscription versus any 2 of my prints, she picked the latter (I wonder if this speaks for how much subscriptions are really worth ).

To everyone who participated a big thank you!
you guys are great! Please check out their stuff and shower them with drool!
I will see to it that (when i have the time) you are all amply rewarded by the the gnomes that live on my roof.
As for those who voted i shall toss in a extra show of appreciation!

I'm honestly sorry I've not been as active as I'd like to be and for that i apologize for the delayed replies, the lack of updates, the no thank yous, the non-checking of your recent deviations. My inbox has already reached the 1000 mark and it's becoming very difficult to keep pace with all of you. I'll sort it all out one day but a sincere gomen-nasai for your art not getting the love it deserves.

Besides my butt dangling in the alligator pond, life is good.
How are you doing?

I don't have much time on so I'll be quick.

1. I've extended the deadlines on my competition to Sept. 8th in order to accommodate the participants who have not yet submitted their entries. A special word of thanks to ~hypesystem & ~morbidillusion666 to actually finishing on time. You guys rock!

2. In this time I've given myself, I've also decided to donate a subscription to the winner along with any one print from my gallery (optional, cause i know they suck ). Hustle up you people!

3. I've been working on writing a few papers to publish and present professionally. Any tips on how I can overcome my stage fright would be greatly appreciated .

4. My DA portfolio -> [link] Any suggestions?

5. I've been a little busy of late so please don't be offended if I'm not punctual with responses or updates. With any luck things will get better soon. With my current run of luck, probably never.

Have a great day all of you!

As you might have guessed the subject for this competition will be unique to each person. After submitting your data (which will be used in a totally non-stalker kinda way ), I will give you the following criteria for your character

1. Primary controlled element
2. Secondary controlled element
3. Sex of the character

Everything else, including character shape, attire, weapons, accessories, mangled body parts, etc are all up to you to decide! You may choose any for of VISUAL art to come up with your entry ie Drawing, Manipulation, Photography, Sculpture, etc

Primary controlled elements are the basic abilities your character should be expressing in the entry. Likewise secondary abilities should be expressed though more subdued than the primary. The abilities are as follows

Fire, Nature, Psychic/Illusionary, Water, Light, Darkness/Death/Poison, Air, Ice, Hunters (Archery/Spear/Sword), Earth, Lightning and Life/Healing

All entries to be submitted before August 1st. Winners will be decided by poll . The grand prize is still under debate but it will probably include a free print of any of my deviations. has also generously agreed to donate stamps and or avatars . If you can contribute to the prizes or have better ideas, please let me know. Hope you like the idea and join in . Good luck!

EDIT - Lame competition title chosen

I've been rather quiet and sneaky like of late so i thought I'd give you some updates, thus the cunning subtlety and choice of words in the title. I'm such a genius

Well professionally life has been tougher than it has before. Running around to a million villages for hours on end testing stove effectiveness and exposures in rural India. Exhausting but fun
I think I'll need some kind of tonic to keep up with everyone. Or perhaps correct my sleep cycle (which is non-existent).

I've been asked to do artwork for a friends album!
Weeeeeeeeeee!
This is just the sort of thing I've been waiting for. Check out the myspace. there only the one song up but it should be updated pretty soon.

[link]

The album cover and the tiles on the background are mine . I've got a few more ideas rendered and even more in the bag. I'll put em up soon when I've got the time. Hopefully I'll have everything finished before the album comes out in June!

Does anyone think the calender is a good idea?

I got this game from .

1. Pick 15 of your favorite movies. (Off the top of my head..can't think of an order for them)
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
5. When you guess, don't cheat and use IMDB search functions!

1. "So the biblical scholars mistranslated the Hebrew word for "young woman" into the Greek word for "virgin," which was a pretty easy mistake to make, since there is only a subtle difference in the spelling. But back then it was the "virgin" that caught people's attention. It's not every day a virgin conceives and bears a son. So you keep that for a couple of hundred years, and the next thing you know, you have the Roman Catholic church. "

2. [inspects their stolen loot]
"We've hit the jackpot, lads! We've got God-knows-how-much of this stinking weed, a shitload of cash... and a traffic warden."
"What?"
[holds up an unconscious man]
"Jesus, Ed, we've got a traffic warden!"

3. - The X-Files: Fight the Future
"I saw your face. There was a definite moment of panic."
"You've never seen me panic. When I panic, I make this face."[remains impassive]

4. . - Titan A.E.
"Hey, for your information, I happen to be humanity's last great hope."
"I weep for the species. "

5. "We're facing a hoard of ginger maniacs, with wild goats nesting in their huge orange beards, or, to put it another way, 'The Scots', and how does our inspiring leader Hadrian intend to keep out this vast army of lunatics? By building a three foot high wall. A terrifying obstacle. About as frightening as a little rabbit with the word "boo" painted on it's nose."

6. "You don't think it's kinda weird & fascist?"
"Possibly, but you don't want to be unemployed."
" Oh well, all right, let's all sell our souls and work for Satan because it's more convenient that way. "

7. - The Virgin Suicides
"What are you doing here, honey? You're not even old enough to know how bad life gets."
"Obviously, Doctor, you've never been a 13-year-old girl"

8. "You just fulfilled the first rule of law enforcement: make sure when your shift is over you go home alive. Here endeth the lesson. "

9. - Donnie Darko
"Mom said the school is closed today because it's flooded, and there's feces everywhere!"
"What are feces?"
"Baby mice."
"Aww. "

10. " 'Live and let live' is, at best, a load of crap. It basically boils down to: 'If I don't tell you I'm a fag, you won't beat the crap out of me'. What kind of solution is that? "

11. "We don't really move, we'd like to but... my mom is sort of attached to the house. Attached isn't really the right word, she's pretty much wedged in."

12. - Pulp Fiction
[shoots the man on the couch]I'm sorry, did I break your concentration? I didn't mean to do that. Please, continue, you were saying something about best intentions. What's the matter? Oh, you were finished. Well then, allow me to retort. What does Marsellus Wallace look like?
What?
What country are you from?
What?
What ain't no country I ever heard of. They speak English in What?
What?
English, motherfucker, do you speak it?
Yes.
Then you know what I'm sayin'!
Yes.
Describe what Marsellus Wallace looks like!
What?
Say what again. Say what again, motherfucker, say what one more Goddamn time!

Unfortunately this place has me very VERY far from a constant internet connection and therefore am not able to update this page as often as I'd like. But I have a good feeling I'll be putting up more sooner or later once I've settled into a systematic and "professional" rhythm (please kill me).

I'm working as a Junior Research Associate btw..at a WHO recognized Environment & Occupational Safety. Can't believe i actually like my first job! I'm such a nerd

Anyhoo I thought I'd say thank you to all the people still visiting this page. You guys are the best . And thank you so much for all the fav's I've been getting on me deviations, paticularly on "The Woods".
