                <description><![CDATA[ Just bought an Xbox360 for this game.  I have a PS3, but most of my buddies use the 360, so I got one.  This game is amazing.  I haven't even played campaign yet.  Haha.  4 hours in, and I'm on level 20.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Thou wast all that to me, love,<br />    For which my soul did pine-<br />A green isle in the sea, love,<br />    A fountain and a shrine,<br />All wreathed with fairy fruits and flowers,<br />    And all the flowers were mine.<br /><br />Ah, dream too bright to last!<br />    Ah, starry Hope! that didst arise<br />But to be overcast!<br />    A voice from out the Future cries,<br />"On! on!"- but o'er the Past<br />    (Dim gulf!) my spirit hovering lies<br />Mute, motionless, aghast!<br /><br />For, alas! alas! me<br />    The light of Life is o'er!<br />    "No more- no more- no more-"<br />(Such language holds the solemn sea<br />    To the sands upon the shore)<br />Shall bloom the thunder-blasted tree<br />    Or the stricken eagle soar!<br /><br />And all my days are trances,<br />    And all my nightly dreams<br />Are where thy grey eye glances,<br />    And where thy footstep gleams-<br />In what ethereal dances,<br />    By what eternal streams.<br /><br /><br /><br />Have you ever looked at your life, and realized nothing is how you want it?  Nothing at all has any happiness or goodness within it?  I really am tired of living.  No education, crappy job that doesn't pay me and won't let me move up, no money, in debt, no love, just got rejected by a girl I really liked, no friends, no future.  This hopeless existence is too much for me to bear.  25 years, all a waste.  Strike me dead.  <br /><br />Don't comment that you're sorry or that it'll get better.  I really don't want to hear it right now.  Ugh.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yes, this is a new journal.  No, I don't have new Craving Control pictures for you.<br /><br />There is good news.  I'm going to take all the credit on this.  Okay, so it had nothing to do with me, but damnit, I want some credit!  <img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";p" title="Wink/Razz" />  I did originally bring the idea up to Craving Control, and let him mull it over, but I think it was the giant response from you guys and clamoring more for his own page that did it.  Yes, that's right, Craving Control is now on DEVIANT ART!<br /><br /><a href="http://cravingcontrol.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/default.gif" alt=":iconcravingcontrol:" title="cravingcontrol"/></a><br /><br /><a href="http://cravingcontrol.deviantart.com/">[link]</a><br /><br />He has his entire comic as well as the Halloween special.  If future updates happen, they'll be on that page.  He's made a journal, and he loves comments as much as I do so let's show him some love.  And remember guys, he's not really a weight gain artist, so try to keep the begging to a minimum!  It's hard, I know, but try!  For me?  Okay!  Wooooosh!  Awaaaaaaaa~aaay!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Many of you might remember this comic.  I talk to the creator of it every now and again and he drew a special 2 page comic for Halloween.  He wanted as many people to see it as possible and posted on Curvage, and I said I could let you guys know about it, which he agreed to.  So without further ado:<br /><br />Part 1:  <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://i923.photobucket.com/albums/ad80/cravingcontrol/cravingcontrol_halloween_p1.jpg">[link]</a><br /><br />Part 2:  <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://i923.photobucket.com/albums/ad80/cravingcontrol/cravingcontrol_halloween_p2.jpg">[link]</a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Now, this might turn into a huge debate as it can be a touchy subject, but I'd rather just elicit response as brief as possible.  <br /><br />What are your religious or spiritual beliefs?  <br /><br />IÂm an Atheist.  <br /><br />As a side note, IÂll be taking a request from the first person that responds, and any subsequent requests that I find particularly interesting, so fire away gentlemenÂand any ladies.  Do any ladies watch me?  I think a few.  Okay, second question:<br /><br />Are you of the female persuasion?

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm not sure what it is, but I just can't focus on doing anything here on DA.  I want to have things drawn, but I can't buckle down and do them!  I have a story started and unfinished, the final chapter of Going Down in Size to write, and lots of drawing ideas that just beg to be drawn.  <br /><br />Actually, I think I know what it is.  It's hard to write and draw anything like this, when you don't feel it.  I'll elaborate a tad.  The unfinished story, without going into too much detail, is about a married couple who love each other very much.  I'm not in an emotional state, where that's something I feel.  I feel unloved and unwanted and it's impossible for me to write about love.  I'm not in the mindset, so all that comes out is hateful or fake.  <br /><br />It stems from a crush I have on someone.  She's so beautiful, and I know I'm crushing on her.  So I'm glossing over bad things, and am not interested in other women.  I hate it.  It's a bad place to be, and I can't get out of it!  There's lots of good things too, but, I dunno.  You guys don't care about my shitty non-problems.  Haha.  Wish I had some fucking confidence though.<br /><br />Thanks for being fans of me, or even remotely liking my work.  I know there are lots better artists out there, but sometimes you guys really do get me through the day.  <br /><br />Anyone want to write me in the comments about a girl they like but can't have?  Thanks guys.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ As you may have noted from my last Journal, I wrote a comic and it was actually made.  Well, guess what?  Through some talks with the good people at the BE Story Club, I've been told that they'll let me submit more!  So if you thought the comic was too short, you'll be glad to know that there will be more of it.  I don't know how much more, but seeing as I don't think I'm constricted to page counts anymore, I can write a more proper continuation of the story.  Now, I can't say with certainty that they'll illustrate quickly(Afterall, it did take a year for the last submission to be made), as long as I write something of high quality, I'm confident that it won't sit idle.  <br /><br />If you happened to read the comic, please let me know what you liked and what you disliked.  And if there is something you might like to see.  I always like to hear that kind of stuff guys!  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" />  <br /><br />In other news, I think this means I need to quickly finish a story that I've been working on.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";p" title="Wink/Razz" /><br /><br />Thanks guys,<br /><br />~V<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ <a href="http://www.bestoryclub.com/free/bydate.php">[link]</a><br /><br />In June 2007.  I submitted an outline for a comic in a contest for that site, the BE Story Club.  I lost the contest...but I guess they made it anyway!(I had a detailed layout of panels and text, but no drawings.  So it was a story, but outlined what each page would be, panel count and layout, backgrounds, etc.)  I was told from a friend, whom was told from someone else!  Got made in November, and I'm finding out about it now, hehe!  <br /><br />They credited me as Bob Sagat.  I guess they just used my email and figured that was fine.  So I'm trying to get a hold of them so they can change it to Vader7476.  I'm also trying to see if, well, they'll give me the comic so I can see how it turned out!  <br /><br />It's called, "The BEst Cheerleader"<br /><br /><br />~Vader (Apparently Bob Sagat, hehe)<br /><br />Edit:  They changed the name and they have given me a copy of the comic.  It turned out really well!  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

I want some more RAM, but it's operating pretty smoothly.  I'm not a huge fan of Vista, but it's something I'll have to get used to.

                <description><![CDATA[ Hello all,<br /><br />My computer is pretty much dead.  I might, through some untold force powers, be able to go in and repair it.  Maybe...<br /><br />At this time, I'm on someone else's computer.  I have no art programs, and all my current work(Not much at all) is lost, as well as lots of other things.  The only solace I have is that a good chunk of my drawings are on DA.  Some were not.  <br /><br />Just wanted to give you all a heads up, and that I probably won't be around for quite some time.  I'll have to see how long it takes me to fix, if that's even possible, and when I'll have the time to do so.  <br /><br />I'll be seeing you around.<br /><br />~V<br /><br />PS.  I don't know how to change my mood to nothing.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Today.  Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted her bouncing past.  She had on a green camisole, a black bra, and a pair of jeans.  Glistening dark hair, worn straight, shining from the lights above.  Her skin, a nice natural tan, exuded exotic.  Slim waist, curvy hips and a shapely behind, topped by a huge pair of jiggling breasts.  Her cleavage went on for miles, and I could only wonder as to the reason she decided to wear such a revealing outfit out in public, but I'm glad she did.  <br /><br />That was from one glace, that I could barely see, out of the corner of my eye.  I can't even describe what she looked like.  Without a doubt, she was the most beautiful woman I've ever seen in my life.  <br /><br />So beautiful, she made me doubt myself as a human being.  Do you understand what I mean?  The scars on my body burn at the site of a creature so perfect, she puts everyone to shame.  Depressing.  Ugh.  I hate work.  <br /><br /><br />~V<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Tag is now in place. <br /><br /><br /><br />-------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />I guess cause you can see the nipples through the shirt?  Is that really considered mature content?  You can get away with that in real life.  Hmm....<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Another birthday down the drain.  Maybe it's just me, but I don't really like my birthday.  I guess at some point, they stop being fun and start becoming sad, eh?<br /><br />I moved, and art is really hard to do.  I don't have privacy, and I don't have any surface to really draw on.  My art table is stored away, and my room is too small to have it.  <br /><br />Although, I am getting some awesome gifts.  I just received an amazing story that happened to be completed today, and was allowed to read it before it was posted.  I'll also be going on a nice day-trip on Saturday to New York.  So, I guess I shouldn't complain too much.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br /><br />~V<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ There's so much to rant about, but I just don't have the energy anymore.  How can it be that everything can be a major problem at once?  All I know is that nothing makes me happy anymore.  It feels like a cheap sci-fi flick, where people just mull through life with no personality.  I just go through motions anymore.  I put up that facade of laughter, and no one thinks otherwise, nor do they care, and that sometimes hurts more.  <br />
<br />
I'm thinking about opening up for commissions.  I'm in desperate need of money.  But I want to know if there's going to be a decent amount of people interested.  <br />
<br />
So many people on this site were supposed to draw or write things for or with me, and almost all haven't done so.  I guess no one has any honor or commitment anymore.  I'd sure love some stories or art for once.  Hell, even if it's not whole stories, even adding to writing.com stories could help.  Like this Eiken one:  <a href="http://www.writing.com/main/interact/item_id/1194735#sw">[link]</a><br />
<br />
I want so desperately to start drawing a lot of stuff for you guys, I've just been totally out of it for so long.  I just can't get into the mood, and it's not fair to you or me.  <br />
<br />
I wonder what life will throw at me next.  I can't see how it can get worse at the moment.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Very interesting.  I currently have a lot on my plate, and that's just the way I like it.  I've got a drawing I'm working on for some friends.  I then have my own comic to finish.  I might become an Illustrator for Lightfoot, and potentially an Illustrator for another comic that you guys will enjoy a lot.  I'm gonna keep my mouth shut about that one until later though, keepin' it a surprise.  But it's certainly interesting and currently in the works.  The outline has been written and some of the specifics have been talked about and are coming together.  <br />
<br />
Update:  I'm Lightfoot's new colorist!  First page right here:  <a href="http://www.josemadre.com/~lightfoot/comics/comics/html/kp_envy02.html">[link]</a><br />

She's at home right now with my cousin, brother, and aunt staying over to make sure she's okay.  I should know more tomorrow.  It sounds like she went through Vertigo, a result of her Ménière's disease.  I truly hope she doesn't progress worse.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ After years of looking and trying to get one written...I've found one...sort of.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.writing.com/main/interact/item_id/1194735#sw">[link]</a><br />
<br />
How cool is that?  I'm not a fan of interactive stories(for a variety of reasons), but seeing as how this is something I've been looking for for so long, I can't help but like this one.  Thought I'd bring it up for all of you Eiken WG fans to read(Or add to!  Hint hint wink nudge).  <br />
<br />
Another writer is currently writing me an Eiken WG story, and it actually seems to be happening.  I've had many people who have traded with me not give me their part, writers back out of stories, artists back out of drawings...but the last 2 of 3 I've talked to have been real pleasant.  Seems to finally be happening, which I'm excited for.  <br />
<br />
I hope to have a couple pieces of art from me by the end of the week.  One, a trade and the other a request(For a friend).  <br />
<br />
I've had no motivation or drive as of late for anything.  I need to change.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Not Safe For Work<br />
<br />
Have you stopped over to <a href="http://www.myfatslavejenny.com/">[link]</a> yet?  Seriously, you should.  My Fat Slave Jenny is by far the best site I've been to...ever.  Very inexpensive, with regular updates(2 a month).  A couple vids every update as well as pictures.  Why do I like this site so much?  Because Jenny is an absolute doll.  She's extremely beautiful, has an amazing voice (Smile and eyes too fellas!), and she's really down to earth.  She's fun to talk to and very personable.  A lot of models are hard to talk to, or disinterested, but she really wants to improve the site and talk about whatever is on your mind!  Whether that's psychology or what you think of her body.  <br />
<br />
Do yourself a favor and check it out.  I can't say enough good about her!  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
However, what I'm eager about, is the hockey league I'm joining in the spring.  I'm very excited about it.  I'm even buying an all new set of goalie gear for myself, which I can't wait for at all.  I'm thinking of an RBK set at the moment, but that could change later on.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ That subject line should get your attention.  I want to do a request, and it's rare that I do them.  So yeah, one request.  Gee, how should I work this?  Okay, I got it.  First person that guesses the number I'm thinking.  0-100 is the range.<br />
<br />
Please put your request(One character please) in your post here with your guess.  Don't note me or it won't count.  One guess per person.  Person closest to it after I decide when to end this will get it.  I want to draw it today, so it might be quick.  <br />
<br />
As a side note.  Anyone who would be willing to do a trade with me for an Eiken story, or knows anyone who would be interested, let me know.<br />
<br />
<br />
*EDIT*<br />
<br />
Okay, I'm closing this now and not accepting any more guesses.  The number I was thinking of was 76, my sports number.  The other sports number I use being 74.  Guess where my name came from.  <br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ As you all know, the site has been redesigned a bit.  I'm still getting used to it and haven't decided if I like it or not.  For me, it seems things aren't quite up to speed yet in both functionality and actual speed.  It's a bit slow and I've noticed that certain buttons time out or don't work.  I'm not too happy about the peace symbol on the logout button either.  I sort of wish that along with the header, a lot of the boxes had a softer feel as well.  It seems to contradict itself in that manner and averts my attention.  <br />
<br />
Apparently a deviation of mine got pulled for copyright violation.  I don't really get it since I drew it myself, but whatever.  Happened to be the Lina one if anyone wanted to know.  I just don't like that there's no way to have a word in at all.  Seriously, it wasn't for the explicit content...but copyright violation?  What the hell?<br />
<br />
I have one more deviation that I really want to draw.  It's a normal one and it's going to be Naruto.  After I get finished that, I'll likely be on hiatus again.  I'll be working on a project that I can't yet name at this time.  Hell, I don't even know many of the details myself.  It's going to be a lot of work for me to draw and color it, and I'm not going to have the time to really update here until that project is done.  It's nothing professional or anything, but I've been commissioned to make a comic.  It's kind of a weird feeling that I've gotten to the point where people are willing to pay me to draw and enjoy my work that much.  It's, well, satisfactory to say the least.  As this is a passion of mine, it's nice to have some recognition and to think that I've finally made it and an impact.  It amazes me even more considering the lack of promotion I've done for myself.  <br />
<br />
Due to the professionalism regarding this, I wont be able to say much, but Ill try and answer any questions that I can.  I hope when all is said and done itll be popular.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ If you have even one favorited picture, you have infinite many more favorites than I do.  Odd, but true.  I probably should favorite pieces, but I try and be as secluded as I can.  I want my work to speak for itself and for people to come here to view it, not because I'm a fan of their work.  I imagine that if I did favorite, I could potentially have double or more the amount of view I have.  With that, it's sort of impresses me that I've accumulated so many views while doing really hardly any advertising.  I haven't posted in any Yahoo groups(Not sure if any of my art is there from other people posting it.  I just know I haven't posted any) and very rarely tell forums of my updates.  I think in the couple years I've been doing this, I've only had 2 or 3 topics saying I had an update.  <br />
<br />
That's not really the only reason why I don't have favorites.  I also feel a bit sad that my work pales in comparison to a lot of the real art out there that doesn't even get half of the traffic.  It's just sort of not fair I guess for them.  I also want to make sure that if I ever come across a piece that truly is that great that I'd have to favorite it, it'd really mean something.  In other words, I don't want that power to be used lightly for me.  <br />
<br />
Now, don't get me wrong, this is just me.  I have no problem with anyone having a lot of favorites(I've seen people with over 30,000 favs) but that kind of thing just isn't for me.  <br />
<br />
I sort of get this feeling that I'm sort of a black sheep of the community.  I think and believe I'm one of the better artists and I imagine many of you would tend to agree to that, yet it seems I'm underrated and rarely brought up in coversation when talking about favorite artists and whatnot.  I mean, take my contest for interest.  There weren't really many entries.  Then I'll see someone else with a contest with 1/4 of my pageviews and twice the participants.  Perhaps that's a downside of being secluded, I don't know.  I guess all it confirms is that the stats here don't really mean much.  Maybe I'm just unlikeable.  That's fine, I imagine I deserve it.<br />
<br />
I keep getting shafted and ditched with trades and the like.  It's almost to the point where I might become unwilling to do trades in the future.  I'm involved in a couple at the moment, with a few pending to see how other artists feel.  Hopefully if they all work out well I won't need to worry about those few times previously.  <br />
<br />
I think liking Eiken is a curse.  I imagine most of you don't really like it at all.  No one seems to draw it.  And even worse, there's no stories with it.  That's what I'm trying to correct.  If anyone's willing to write an Eiken fanfic, drop me a line.  I've been trying to get one written for me for a while.  Nothing concrete has really opened itself up at the moment, but there could be promise for the future.<br />
<br />
A couple artists whose work I rather enjoy favorited a couple of my pieces.  That's always a pick me up.  I think I'm really starting to get to a point where other big name artists might actually start to enjoy my work.  Not sure if I'm there yet, but artists tend to be quite quiet and introverted.  So it might be one of those things that I'll never really know.  I often wonder how good artists befriend each other and do work for each other.  If anyone knows, by all means, tell me.  Not that good artists don't comment on my work and watch me, but not to the point where they try to get to know me and work with me if that makes sense.  <br />
<br />
I like comments more than favorites.  For as self conscious and depressed a person as I am, comments really seem to help.  <br />
<br />
I need to get Gankutsuou V when it comes out on Tuesday.  I don't think my story is going to get it in, so I may need to order it in, which sucks.  It's a great anime, based on the Count of Monte Cristo.  Quality stuff, I highly recommend it.  <br />
<br />
I want to write more, but I'm tired.  I had a good fourth of July idea, but I'm not sure if I want to do it.  It's passed the day obviously, and although it's a good idea, I don't really care that much, ya know?  I'm just not a big fan of holiday pieces.  A lot of this is probably nonsensical and spelt bad, but it's 5:00 AM and I need to get a few winks before I see Superman Returns(Don't spoil it!) and possibly work on my story for the first time in months or be lazy.  Yeah, I see lazy winning that one.  Graaaaaaaaa ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ A lot of artists just do pencil sketches without backgrounds, that may or may not be clean.  By clean, I mean no rough edges.  There's not multiple lines doing the same job, it looks like one stroke did the whole job.  Or the character pinup will be colored, but there's no background, or something really simple.  I could go on and on, but you get the picture.  I always try to have my art clean and colored with background and some sort of dialogue or narration.  Is that what you prefer, or do you like more simple stuff?  Not that any of it is bad, but the more clean, colored, etc. the piece is, the longer it takes.  <br />
<br />
I've also been on DA for 2 years.  I feel a bit bad that I really have only been submitting on here for roughly 9 or 10 months.  I haven't done a hit gift in a while either.  I have 2 requests to finish, the hit gift which I need to think about for 100,000 and maybe either continuing drawing every now and then with working on my story or choosing one over the other for a period of time.  <br />
<br />
Going home this upcoming week from Sunday to about Wednesday to visit home and go to my brother's graduation. ]]></description>

                <title>Why so silent, good messieurs?</title>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, this isn't really a question for your silence, as it is for me.  I just used that because I've been watching Phantom of the Opera and I really like the line.  <br />
<br />
Okay, so where have I been?  What have I been doing?  Did I drop off the scene?<br />
<br />
No, I'm still around.  If you're a fan of my work, don't worry.  I will still draw and create.  I'm not going to leave the community.  However, as of late I've been very busy.  I have a practically full time job, full schedule of classes, and going to the gym, being semi-social, etc.  Real life has been eating up almost all of my time.  I simply don't have the time to draw, nor do I have the will.  I've been pooped beyond belief.  I'm not sure when I'm going to submit again, but hopefully it will be sooner than later.<br />
<br />
So have I been doing anything...at all?  You may recall that I've previously said I was looking to switch gears to writing a story.  And yes, that is what I've been doing.  Currently, it's about 120 pages.  Of course, it will be much smaller as it's posted online since I double space, but it's still fairly large.  And it's only a little more than half done.  So it's a biggie.  <br />
<br />
Why not post it here?  Well, why do you assume it's an erotic story(Of a weight gain or breast expansion nature)?  Okay, you got me.  It is a weight gain story.  There's one reason I'm not posting it on DA:  It's very explicit.  It'd be removed, as it focuses heavily on those oh so naughty parts we love, along with some fairly detailed sexual encounters.  Trust me, I'd love to post it on DA for you all to read, but I'm just not going to risk it.  I might be able to get by with part one, but the rest can't be posted.  <br />
<br />
Have you posted it anywhere yet?  Yes.  I actually make good use of the fabulous MollyCoddles.  Which I want to thank, as always, for letting me post things on her site.  If you're not familiar, the site can be accessed here:  <a href="http://www.angelfire.com/weird2/mcoddles/">[link]</a><br />
<br />
I suggest looking thoroughly at the site if you haven't been there before.  It's got some really great WG fiction.  Where's my story?  Scroll down, click on "Other People's Stories" and you'll be brought to a page with A LOT of links.  Mine is fairly close to the bottom(As of this writing).  Right above Melissa, and right below Ashlee.<br />
<br />
It's called "Going Down In Size."  Funny name for a weight gain story, but trust me, it's very fitting.  As you can see, parts 1 and 2 are already posted.  Currently I've completed about 4 parts.  So don't fret, there is future postings to be had.  I just space them out a bit, to give me time to write the others.  <br />
<br />
I'm sorry I've become silent, good messieurs, but it's not without reason.  I have NOT abandoned this yet, but I am on a bit of a hiatus.  I do REALLY want to finish my story first and foremost, which may take a little while considering my aforementioned schedule.  I'll try and make due, and not dissappoint.  <br />
<br />
Let me know how you feel about the story!  I love hearing comments you guys.  Should I post a bit of it here, for everyone to see(Since most don't look at journals?) or should I leave it with only this link in here?  Get back to me.  I want to apologize again for my absence.  Later guys! ]]></description>

<br />
<br />
What?  What do you mean I said contests, when there was only one.  Well, you're wrong!  You may remember a little wager I had here:  <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/view/12072933/">[link]</a><br />
<br />
Well, after a year, someone has finally won!  Sleestix gets a request as well(One he's already informed me of), congrats to him though.  Later guys!  *Disappears into the darkness* ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ The contest ends in about 10 days, depending where you live.  Much to my dismay, I've had hardly any entries.  If you enter now, you have a 1/3 chance of winning first place.  That percentage would increase dramatically with some effort thrown into the art.  In any event, if I don't have 4 submissions by the contest's close, I'm calling it off.  I really thought this would go off without a hitch, but it seems I was wrong.  <br />
<br />
I'd write more, it I'd rather not waste my time pandering to ears that don't exist. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Copied from the info on the deviation.  In case you missed it or something.<br />
<br />
And out of the depths of darkness and obscurity; I, Vader7476, emerge once again. A phoenix rising out of the flames.<br />
<br />
Okay, so first thing is first: I intended to color like that. I enjoy the rough style a lot, it feels more like the back of a manga and is great contrast against the background of anime. <br />
<br />
Yes, this is a contest. Why? Well, I'm lazy, and need inspiration, motivation, and a good swift kick in the arse. A contest is great for that. It'll heighten and enlighten my interests and the prize will motivate me once again. So, I guess it's time to lay out the contest.<br />
<br />
This contest involves you drawing and submitting a picture(Or story) of Kirika(Duh). I'd prefer some sort of expansion(Breast, weight gain, inflation, butt, belly, stuffing, preg, etc.) but it WILL NOT be limited to that. If you want to draw Kirika normal, tranformed, whatever, then be my guest. However, note that I will be grading the piece based off of my whim and likings. Add anything you want. Dialogue and stories will be encouraged strongly. Artistic intent, content, talent, thought, and originality will all be judged. Even if you're the worst artist(writer) in the world, a superior idea could give you the win. <br />
<br />
You can submit as many drawings/stories as you like. The more you enter, the bigger the chance you could win. If you submit, please make sure the picture/story size is fairly large. I enjoy larger pictures(and longer stories) more. That's a request though, you won't lose points if it is smaller. <br />
<br />
I felt this would a great opportunity to incorporate a lot of events into one. My birthday was at the end of August, my one year on DA is in October, and I've returned from a short break in September. So, I really thought a lot of contest entries would be sort of my reward even if I'm giving the winner or winners a prize. The due date for all work is November 1. NO exceptions. <br />
<br />
I've been talking a lot about a prize, just what is it you ask? Well...I'd like for it to be money, but it's not. Nay, for I am a poor student barely paying my rent. All I have to give is my love. Well, that and this:<br />
<br />
Third place(If that many people enter. Winners must be in the top quarter. In other words, 12 must enter for a third place winner.): 1 request. One, maybe two characters. Limited background and coloring. <br />
<br />
Second place: 1 request. Anything you want.<br />
<br />
First place: 2 requests. Of anything, regardless of how big. Color, no color, shading, etc. All up to you. [Even stories. Although the bigger your request, the longer it'll take me to do.]<br />
<br />
(Pretty good since I don't do requests, eh? )<br />
<br />
If a lot of people enter, I may add more prizes(Most likely just my art, although I do have some translated manga and anime, and even some fetish related. Just an idea, might not fly too well. Perhaps some winners don't want my art but something else, it can be worked out). <br />
<br />
I think I covered about everything. If you have any questions, go ahead and ask. I'll also add this as a journal. Submit all work with a comment and link to your piece on DA. If you happen to see this, and don't have a DA site, use my email bobsagat93@yahoo.com to send me your work. A person may only win one prize. <br />
<br />
So enter, I encourage it! Do your best and remember that thinking outside the box isn't taboo! Thanks so much. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Apparently the 5th anniversary of the site is coming up on the 7th.  Not so long ago, the co-founder of the site was fired of overthrown.  Something of that nature.  All fine and good.<br />
<br />
What gets me is that people are actually trying to rally for him, without any information to the matter at all.  We don't know why Jark got booted, who did it, or any other important information.  For all we know he DESERVED to get canned.  Don't take action blindly.  Only fools rush into the unknown, blind to all.  <br />
<br />
Whats more, the peolpe that are going in blind are taking the wrong course of action for their objective.  Newsflash:  Boycotting only works if you actually boycott.  Staying on the site and submitting, commenting, anything will not help.  You'd have to totally leave, FOREVER.  One day is nothing.  Think back to this past year, with the "gas day" or whatever the hell it was.  Did everyone obey?  No.  Did gas prices drop?  No.  Why?  Because you'd eventually have to get gas, you'd have to have everyone not get gas for a long time.  This childish event trying to take place on the 7th will abhor no admiration from that actual staff, won't propel them into action, and no consequences will be seen.  <br />
<br />
Honestly, who in their right mind thinks this is going to actually work?  It's not.  Online petitions don't work.  <br />
<br />
On a side note, my lease is up.  My new lease doesn't start until the end of this month.  That's why I haven't done much in July, I've been packing and getting everything for my new townhouse all situated.  So this month you probably won't see any work by me.  The break will be good at least. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I try and write in here at least once a month.  <br />
<br />
My best friend, my BEST friend who has expressed his EXTREME hate of driving, not knowing where he's going, and long waits, who has told me he is NEVER driving for 4 hours to visit me has told me he's doing it this month.  Definitely excellent news.  But wait!  Nothing ever can go right, so something bad has to happen since it's me.  What do you know, shortly after I find this information out, I get a notice saying that my apartment has been scheduled to be painted around that time.  So there's a damn good chance it's going to happen while he's up here, and that would suck since I won't be able to actually hang out or do anything at all.  Awesome.  Awesome.<br />
<br />
The people in the building next to me have been setting fireworks off every night for months and it's starting to get to me.  Of course much more so now than ever with the holiday.  I wouldn't mind it if they did it all at once, but it's every 30 minutes or so and into the late night.<br />
<br />
I'm planning to rent a townhouse with a roommate.  Of course, he's not sure yet if he can live up here since he's got to get a promotion or a new job.  I'm pretty sure he'll get neither, since it's me.  Then I'll be shit out of luck and have to go into the townhouse either by myself which I can't afford, or with someone I don't know.  Awesome.<br />
<br />
My computer has been acting up.  It's making a weird noise.  Upon inspection, it's the case fan.  So now I have to either buy a new one of those, live through the noise, or leave the side of my case off periodically fixing it.<br />
<br />
There's no food in my apartment.<br />
<br />
I read 2 Star Wars novels and 2 issues of paperback graphic novels about Star Wars last week, and they all sucked horribly.  <br />
<br />
Some punk decided it would be funny to rip my side view mirror off.  There's no way he hit it in a car either, as that side of the car was blocked by another car I know for a fact didn't move all night.  So someone deliberately came up to my car, and ripped the mirror off and KEPT it.  <br />
<br />
All of this has, save one thing, happened this week.  Plus a million other things I'm never going to get into.  The only luck I have is bad.  I must be a horrible person with all the bad karma I get.<br />
<br />
Confirmation!  I've confirmed it, I'm a horrible person.  Why?  This line sums it up probably the best:  "Human beings are wretched things.  They envy anyone who possesses more than themselves.  And yet, they despise them if they have nothing." ~Griffin from Berserk.  That fits me to a T.  Especially with DA.  I loathe anyone who has more views, pageview, favorites, comments, etc. than me.  Especially if they haven't been here as long as I.  Hooray, I'm jealous!  I'll add that to the list of words that describe me.  I can't just be happy drawing, and being moderately liked.  No, I have to bitch and moan since I'm not the best.  As if I were the best at anything anyway.  "Bitching."  I'll add that to the list as well since that's all this horrible journal entry is about anyway.  Me being a whiny bitch.  I'm no man, I'm a child.  Horrendous.<br />
<br />
Welcome to my life.  You can leave at your convenience, I can't.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I don't know how I feel about Episode  III.  Something inside of me is  yearning for more.  I'm still waiting  for something fantastic to happen.  Not  yet satsified by the content.  <br />
<br />
I need to see it again to make a good  judgement.  I dressed up as  Vader...which shouldn't surprise any of  you.  Camped out for a bit.  Saw the  show.  Something just hasn't clicked.   It didn't feel like Star Wars, and I  don't know why.  Everyone thinks it's a  great film, and I'm here pondering. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ How come I'm the most inconsistent  artist ever?  Why is all my work one of  two outcomes?  It's either amazingly  great, some of the best stuff you'll  see in the community; or absolutely  some of the worst?  Am I too conceited,  and all my stuff is fairly bad?  Do I  try and copy styles too much, and can't  do my own?  Do I submit poor work?  Am  I lazy?  How do other artists do this?   How can I produce a piece of garbage  one day, then make a masterpiece the  next?  Look at every other artist.  You  can instantly tell who drew the picture  by the style alone.  Everything is spot  on, and immediately recognizable.  Even  the pieces that are sub par still look  like their style, they look GOOD, and  they dont look like garbled puddles of  crap.  <br />
<br />
Speaking of style, does anyone get  bored of an artists style?  I see  dozens upon dozens of them make great  imagesbut they all look exactly the  same.  All the same drawing style, same  coloring schemes, same type of images.   One of the things I try and do is stay  relatively different.  In a year or two  or 20, whatever, I dont want people to  be able to instantly go, Oh, thats  clearly a Vader7476.  I sort of like  that I dont really have a style.  It  makes things eclectic, and I like that  very much.  I like that my stuff will  be in different medians, with different  techniques, different tools, and in  different styles.<br />
<br />
Whenever I do a drawing, I tend to  really look at the artists style.  I  try to make it as close as I possibly  can.  A lot of time, I get compliments  on how well I can mimic other peoples  work.  Is this necessarily a bad thing,  or is this a good thing?  <br />
<br />
I dont know what Im talking about.   Its late, Im tired, Ive been up for  a while, and this blurb probably makes  little to no sense.  Ive got much to  learn.  Not in a particularly great  mood.  Meh. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I got to see my best friends and family  over this glorious weekend.  I took  some pictures, and decided to upload  them along with some older ones.  You  don't like em?  Screw you.  A lot of  them didn't come out as well as I would  have liked.  I'm no photographer, so  the quality of them all is probably  really bad.  I thought they were kind  of cool.  This weekend went way too  fast, but at least I got to throw  easter eggs and crush em with a bat.  I  played some Hockey this weekend, and  kept hitting this kid Keith with my  slapshot.  He's probably hurting some.   So much happened this weekend, I had  zero downtime.  It was truly fantastic.   I could write so much more, but no one  cares.  Oh well.<br />
<br />
I might do a drawing tonight.  Probably  upload it at six in the mornin', six in  the morning', six in the mornin.   Sorry, inside joke.  That no one but me  will get...<br />
<br />
Mwahahaha. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ After over 214 days(About 7 months)  I've decided that I should probably go  home some time and visit my family.   No, I haven't been home for  Thanksgiving, or Christmas.  What's  equally amazing, is that the trip home  is roughly 214 miles.  Coincidence, or  strange government conspiracy?  I'll be  home and enjoy the ravishes of Easter.   Now, I'm by no means at all religous,  but for some odd reason Easter is my  favorite holiday of the year.  I just  can't wait to see my best friends  again, it's been a while.<br />
<br />
I really want to comment on a lot of  stuff that's been going on the past few  weeks, but I'm going to refrain from  mentioning anything.  I'll forever be  in awe of the fatuousness and naiveness  of the human race.<br />
<br />
"Only two things are infinite, the  universe and human stupidity, and I'm  not sure about the former." ~Albert  Einsein<br />
<br />
"Nothing in all the world is more  dangerous than sincere ignorance and  conscientious stupidity." ~ Martin  Luther King, Jr<br />
<br />
As always, I'm extremely angry right  now.  Let's hope this weekend will help  alleviate some of that.  <br />
<br />
Often times I really wish I could stop  being an immature piece of garbage who  can't draw.  Why must I hate  everything?  And what does this have to  do with my weekend?  God, I hate whiny  rants and then I go and do one.  Add  hypocritical to the list.  I'm tired of  writing this drivel.  Vader out. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I don't want to jynx myself, but I'm in  full swing as well.  3 drawings in 3  days, not too shabby I don't think.   All 3 have taken very little of my time  too.  Either that means I'm rushing and  they suck, or I'm getting better and  it's taking me less time to do the same  quality work.  I personally would like  to think the latter.  I just want to  thank everyone for not really  pressuring me to do more work during my  leave.  I know a lot of artists get  fans that pester them to do work and  special pics all the time.  Thankfully  I haven't had anyone like that yet.  My  time off from drawing was good and I  think it was fairly well spent.  I beat  Suikoden IV and managed to keep my job  and my studies primarily in order along  with it.  I'm always open to  suggestions or comments you guys may  have.  Out of the 3 pieces I did for  other people, 2 I feel(And so do many  of you it seems) are in my top work.  I  may have to take this into  consideration upon future art.  Maybe I  strive to please?  I dunno.  I don't  want to make this too long winded so  I'll end it.  Right.  About.   .....<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I know I haven't been around in a  while, and I'm truly sorry about that.   Got a little lazy there.  I hope to get  back to doing a couple drawings a week,  but with school starting up I don't  know how realistic that goal is.  I  kind of draw in secrecy so I wait until  everone is asleep in order to get work  done.  That usually means I'm up way  too late.  Hopefully I'll be able to  work art into my schedule during times  no one is here, that may be a challenge  since my one roommate just graduated.   In any event, I got a couple ideas left  before I need to start thinking of  stuff to do again.  I'll suprise you  with them as I go.  <br />
<br />
~Dwilesjr, if you're reading this, know  that I am planning to do yours soon.  I  have a couple more things that I need  to get done first.  I'm really glad  you've been so patient, so thank you  for that.  May still be a couple weeks  yet unfortunately.<br />
<br />
Closing in on the 20,000.  That  happened fast.  Damn.  Need to think of  what I'm going to do for that.<br />
<br />
On another yet totally unrelated note:   How do you put those links in your  messages that come up as the person's  avatar and a link?<br />
<br />
Again, sorry for lack of updates  recently.  I hope to ammend that. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Today(Sunday) I had thanksgiving.  It  was good, made it myself, with major  help from my roommate.  We invited like  20 people over at our apartment.  It  went well, especially since we're all  in college and those who aren't  fortunate enough to live in a dorm have  to eatch crappy food.  Since I'm not  going home for real thanksgiving, that  makes christmas the next candidate for  a super holiday that I won't be home  for.  We bought a christmas(Fake) tree  today.  We colored our living room with  white icicle lights.  It looks awesome  because we have a cathedral ceiling.   We decorated the tree, and it's almost  done.  We need to find a star or any  tree topper that's exceptable.  Our  school colors are Blue and white, so  that's what colors we made our tree.  I  laughed and told my roomie we were now  officially Jewish.  (Blue and white  from what I understand represents  people who follow the Jewish religion.   And they put up blue and white around  their houses in terms of lights.  If  I'm wrong, please forgive me and  correct me.  Also, I wasn't ripping on  those who are Jewish.  I respect and  tolerate all faiths.)  He yelled at me  and said it was our school colors.  We  then Kung Fu fought.  Then had leftover  pies from thanksgiving.  Well, minus  the kung fu part anyway.  Unless of  course you count us literally piling  furniture on top of each other to make  homemade medly ladders to hang the  lights as kung fu fighting.<br />
<br />
I'm going to be really busy with school  and work.   School's drawing to and  end, and I work in retail.  So yeah.   Hopefully I'll still be able to update  as often as I'd like to.<br />
<br />
Now, to the actual subject of this.   10,000 is approaching guys.  What  should my hitgift be?  A new character?   A new one every time?  WG, BE?   Fanart?  No idea what I should do.  So  many choices.  What do the fans want?   (I find it hilarious 90% of this  journal entry was filler)<br />
<br />
This journal entry will self destruct  in 5...4...   What, it can't do that?   Damn. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey everybody.  Your friendly  neighbo...wait, friendly?  Ahem.   Anyway, does anyone have any  suggestions on what I should draw next?   It's taking too long to think of ideas  and I'm really trying to not do all the  same shows to draw.  In fact, I don't  want all of my art to be from anime.  I  didn't want to say requests, because  frankly, I'm never going to do  requests.  Requests suggest that I'm  definiltey doing it, and I'm not going  to garuantee anything.  If anyone has  some ideas one what they would like to  see or a direction that I should take  I'm all ears.<br />
<br />
Also, which style do you like better?   The pure anime hard lined shading, or  the more subtle realistic type?  I try  to do the Anime one on the Anime pics  to make it closer to the show unless  I'm in the mood for honing my skills.   They both work, just wondering your  thoughts.  And thanks for all the hits.   Not even a month and I'm almost up to  5,000.  Maybe I should create a  character for some 10,000 page views  things as a progression or something.   I dunno.  Anyway, I might have a pic up  tomorrow as long as it doesn't take  away from my study time.  Good night  everyone. ]]></description>

I'm  working on a fetish piece now, so  hopefully that will be up by tomorrow.   Unfortunately work calls so I don't  have time at the moment, but I will  soon enough.  Tell me what you guys  think about that, and I'll have a new  pic up soon I hope.  All right, later. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ The more and more I look at everyone  else's art on DA, whether it be fetish  related or not, plus the art of others  not on DA I seem to get depressed.  So  many of them are so much better than  mine.  I look at theirs and just start  to loathe how horrible mine look in  comparison.  It's not like I'm  surprised, I'm not a good artist and  someone will always be better no matter  what you do, it's a part of life.  That  still doesn't mean I like it.  I  started doing a totally spies piece  today, then ended up ripping it out of  my sketch book, crumpling it up and  throwing it out with extreme prejudice.   I've been trying to find new methods  to color and draw, but to no avail.  I  like making my anime pics more toward  how they look in their respective  shows, and I think I pull that off  fairly well, but when it comes to extra  and actually trying to make a piece  colored as best to my ability and  liking I always fall short.  I don't  have many ideas on what I should draw  next, and don't know enough about other  anime/games to actually draw their  characters.  I need to get better, much  better if I'm ever going to be remotely  content with my art.  Well, sorry for  the rant.  I doubt many of you care  anyway, but just thought to let you  know it may be a few days before more  art.  I really need to get a good idea  and then draw it to a point where I'm  actually satisfied with it.  I doubt  I'll take requests, because at this  point I really don't want to, but if a  good idea comes along I may put it on  the backburner or spark an idea off in  my head.<br />
<br />
I need to find some tutorials/lessons,  but with my upcoming tests, work, and  other I may not actually have time for  a  little bit.  On my next piece,  whatever it is, I'll probably try to do  a very realistic shading job and  probably get rid of the lineart to make  it look as real as possible.  The only  trouble comes in what I should actually  do that to.  It would be extremely  difficult to do it of an  anime/cartoon/game character, but I  don't want to draw a real person  either.  I guess we'll see.  It's  really late, I don't feel like going to  bed because that means I have to wake  up and actually do loads and loads of  work, but I'm rambling now and wasting  both our times.  I bid you adieu.   Thanks everyone for getting me up so  high in page views already, I thought  it would take me forever to get 1000,  let alone over 3,000 in only a couple  weeks time.  Glad I'm almost half  popular.  Rant commencing now.  End  transmission. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hi all,<br />
<br />
I don't know how many of you know  me(Almost none of you do most likely),  but for those of you who don't let me  tell you a little about myself.  I am  an infrequent artist of weight gain and  breast expansion/large breasts.  Don't  except there to be much content here,  nor updated often.  You can see some of  my previous work(not much of it) at the  weight gain site:  <a href="http://www.angelfire.com/weird2/mcoddles">[link]</a>  <br />
<br />
It's primarily stories, with a few  illustrations.  It's a good site with a  lot of stuff not on dimensions.  You  either like this stuff or you don't.   If you think it's sick or disgusting  that's fine, but I retain my right to  draw whatever I choose and am not  forcing you to look at it.  I don't  know what else to write except welcome  to my deviant art page.  I hope to have  much more art here in the future, but  I'm making no promises.  I hope you all  like it.<br />
<br />
