Deviation Actions
It was bound to happen, but after lurking on the famous reddit forums for some time I decided what the heck and just made an account under the same name I have here (so don't worry, it ain't an imposter... unless there's another one that's existed pre October 14th ) I was first introduced to the site after having some artworks I made featured there and receive a surprising amount of attention, which echoed right through to dA here and earned me some spikes in favourites on some of them which seemingly came out of nowhere. I suppose now if one gets featured again I can clear things up since there always seems to be some people misinterpreting them, or just wondering how they're made, or what was going through the artist's head while they were being created But that's not the reason why I joined. I just love to talk and people on the forums here know how opinionated and graphic I can be about some things
There's not much else to report though. Sadly my art-producting here has slowed to a crawl and won't be getting any better anytime soon. I'm still feeling OK and not in any creative slump since I always come up with idea son what to draw next. My problem is just finding time, and since it's spring in this hemisphere I am spending a lot more of my non-working time on my garden - my other primary passion. But since this an art site and not a garden forum I can say that's why I don't invest too much into showing here (plus like any of my works in progress I don't like showing too much until it's just the way I like it ) But Halloween is coming up, and I haven't missed one of those yearly submissions yet, so I'll try to muster up something even if just for that

Well I Didn't Win This Time..
But a Daily deviation is a pretty solid runner up prize :trophy:
Thankyou art (https://www.deviantart.com/art) for featuring it, and for providing this string of contests with very interesting themes over the past few months. I'm not in any of the current ones, character design isn't a strong point of mine, but it'll be interesting to see who wins, and what themes might be selected for upcoming contests if any!
I've been slipping in and out of activity for some time and these contests motivating me to put stuff aside to draw something again have probably been a good influence for me. Too busy with work and other crap I'd gladly cut out of my life if I won the lottery
Son of a Beach!
After being elected as one of many fine finalists in the recent Devious Desktops: Warm Vibes competition I had my fingers crossed over the past week thinking about nothing other than what the results would be. This was the first contest I've heard about in ages I was actually interested in theme-wise and one that was also open to all members around the world so I jumped on it right away!
It paid off as I won one of the three winning positions! :excited: It's been years since I won anything here, and even those were smaller scale contests held by individual users or groups. I'm certain this is the first time I ever placed in one of the big on
Switchi'n It Up
So I've pretty much disappeared without an explanation, drip-feeding some time on here into the forums but not much else on the artistic front. Totally out of character for me whose been persistently active on here since I began. But then again out of character probably describes how I feel. Not necessarily in a "bad" way, but in a way that I feel like my priorities and personality are changing after some realizations about many things this year. In some ways it's been a good thing, I feel myself actually having a desire to start doing a little more than sit in front of a computer all day. Wanting friends, company and activity in my life more
A Sexy Birthday
Wow wow I'm 30 now :faint: I've been having mixed feelings about it for months, on one hand I feel pretty bummed out that my 20's are over forever now which seems to be the only age demographic the world still considers fun and cool. On the other hand it has given me a little kick in the bum when it comes to trying to motivate myself to actually be be more fun and cool, since I spent a lot of the past ten years tirelessly working away on my hobbies, most noticeably my art. It's paid off in many ways and kept me busy during a time I didn't really have much else going on, and I definitely want to keep at it. Yet I want to start living a little
