Features IV (+ Mid-Hiatus News)

Journal Entry: Tue Jan 29, 2008, 4:33 PM
So I'm back...

After a somewhat lengthy hiatus, which might extend itself. :paranoid: Unfortunately, since my message center had grown to explosive proportions, I had to delete all the comments and faves and watches again. Sorry! :( I will be reading old comments when I have the chance though, answering them if I can. Thanks very much for taking the time to come by.


This month's features!

Once again, picked three deviants on the watch list and three of my favorite pieces from their gallery...

MOAR dA love! If I haven't featured you yet, never fear... I'll get to you eventually. :XD: Next features will be at the end of February.


Work update

Bad news first: I had to leave *Snitter's Animusians team, since my schedule and current skill/speed level cannot allow me to work on comics on a long-term scale. :( I'd like to thank her and *DarkChildx2k for the chance to work with them though, and perhaps there will be other opportunities in the future. If you are interested in the comics job, please read: [link]

Good news: I will still however be with ~BadLuck765 on Ara Fell, his PC RPG in progress. There are also some short-term projects in the works, and other openings I'm seriously considering, but I'm not going into details just yet. I won't be on dA very much while I test the waters.

OK, that's it from me for now, till next time everyone.

I am floored looking at some of your work. That and the fact that someone else saw Kingdom Hospital and liked it. I adore your Miraluka, He's what caught my attention. One of my RP characters is a miraluka, and it's nice to see others who appreciate the species.
Hugs and adoration!!

Your references & tutorials are not only helpful and realistic, they're beautifully done as well, and they mention the little things that are sometimes hard to consciously pick up. Beautiful work as well! :)

All your life people will tell you things. And most of the time, probably ninety percent of the time, what they'll tell you will be wrong. Human beings are just stuffed full of misinformation. So it's hard to know who to believe.

The way you draw your characters is really great ^_^ Your gallery is so interesting!
