After about 7 hours of answering near 100 replies, and commenting on a couple hundred more deviations I've made a small dent in the mass that is messages. Since I really can't afford another 7+ hours to sort all of these messages and deviations without delaying my artwork further, I've decided to delete all of the deviation updates and visit each person's pages individually instead. This won't be as irritating or look as urgent (500 Deviations everytime you log in is pretty dire) and I won't feel like I'm saying the same damn thing on every piece (that is insanly annoying.)

Unfortunately it's now 1pm (I started around 6am) and I'm quite worn out, so art may be pushed back until I rest, at least for today.

After much frustration and time spent sorting and saving, I've finally reformatted my computer, and with a new version of windows. I have about 6 anti-virus & malware programs that run daily, which I hope will minimize future problems. Sadly I lost a lot of things I would've liked to keep, but it's nice to have my computer running faster for a change. (Not that it will stay that way.)

I've got 4 pieces nearing completion, and although I haven't installed my scanner (where is that damn installation cd?...) there should be a couple uploaded the next day or so. To my dismay, although struggle I did, they may not be up to my standards. I've become horribly inaccurate with my hand-to-eye coordination without several years of practice, but I hope they don't come across too malformed. (I do so miss my grids.)

Has anyone else noticed the strange problem I have with mirroring things? (Jaw lines, ears, eyes, anything with an opposite but duplicate side.) I don't remember this being a problem before, so it must be a new thing. The only issue is I can't figure out how I developed it, or how to fix it, especially since I don't notice it until I'm done or near completion. *scoff* >_> Any suggestions?

I'm still waiting on my card to resubscribe, as well as possibly buy a new tablet pen. My page looks awefully dull without all of my glittery things hanging about.

After I finish the rest of my comissions I'm hoping for another art trade. ( Terr woman, whar is my art trade picture?! XD ) But I'm still taking baby steps, as it's obvious it can take me a phenominal amount of time to accomplish small tasks. Rofl.

Thanks again everyone for the patience with my work.



As you may have discovered, I'm quite the game addict. My latest has been Dragon Age: Origins, a new Baulder's Gate/Neverwinter Nights 2-style game, which I highly recommend.

Dragon Age: Origins has a fantastic story line, the choice to play as male or female, side with good or evil, phenominal voice acting, and wonderful character and enviromental designs overall. The character interactions might be the best part of the game. As in Baulder's Gate and Neverwinter Nights 2, your sidekicks have distinct personalities, likes and dislikes, and the decisions you make can alter how your friends feel about you. Your decisions can lead to interesting conversations and scenes, as well as choices, including influencing party members to leave you or sparking possible romance options, both of strait or gay orientation. One of the funniest, and most entertaining things, is listening to the conversations each of the characters have with one another. Dragon Age: Origins has some of the best humorous writing I've seen in a fantasy RPG for some time. The game, while offering several days of gameplay, feels like it ends too soon. The characters are easy to miss and you're eager to jump back in to start all over again.

If you like RPGs you should really give this one a try, I doubt you'll regret it.
