Deviation Actions
If you didn't already now I'm telling you now. I quit DeviantArt. It's not the place for me. I know it sounds conceited and self-absorbed to say that I didn't get enough attention on DevArt but we're artists, that's the whole point (well, not the WHOLE point but some of it). I'm done, DevArt for some reason makes me want to please people and get as many people interested in my stuff as possible, but I keep failing at that because I don't draw a certain way, don't draw certain things, or just aren't famous enough.
normally I don't give a f**k about what people think but DeviantArt somehow forces me to feel differently, and I don't like feeling that way. So I'm done trying to be some cool artist with goals of impressing everybody, because it's just not working and it's not f**king worth it. Especially after I saw that my sh*t got stolen from here a few days ago, DeviantArt just continues to reveal itself to be a major disappointed every time I log on. It's kinda like being on facebook but never getting any notifications... ever, it's silly but its still a pain.
Don't get me wrong, the art on here is phenomenal and theres no way I could leave that behind. So I won't be deleting my account but I'll only come on DeviantArt strictly to follow other artists and leave comments, I won't be posting anymore art up here at all. though I may post one last picture at some point because it would be disgusting to have my last devart pic be Goku "fan"art. (I use the term fan loosely)
So thats it, i'm gonna be a DevArt Ghost, don't expect anymore art outta me on this site. For the few of you who still wanna see my crap just go to my blog where I'll probably be posting everything from now on. I could either draw stuff to impress people on DeviantArt and have nobody care, or I could draw whatever the f**k I want on my blog and have nobody care. i choose the latter.
PEACE!!!

Gwangi Gold Rush
I might have to drop out of this next GGR Round. It sucks but the deadline is just poor timing, I also have a ton of commissions to work on and not to mention my new job in which I have to draw a comic around the same deadline. I'm not calling it quits right now because I may luck out and be able to squeeze something in, but don't be surprised if you don't see a submission from me this time. I already spent the last week drawing in my every waking minute to get my last project done and I'm close to being completely burnt out. I really want to keep going in the competition because it seems really fun and I had some really cool scenarios pla
My Artist Advice for 2013
I'm not an authority on anything and this is advice that most of you will probably have heard somewhere else but just in case some of you don't here it is.
Don't make excuses. Draw. This goes with drawing, writing, playing music, whatever. You have to do it if it's what you want to do and it's the only way you're going to get better. If you're inexperienced, drawing gains you that experience. If you don't like where your quality level is, it's just going to stay there unless you keep practicing. Obvious right? Well not for everybody.
Don't apologize for your art. Quit shooting yourself in the foot. If you're showing it to friends or profe
Update
Felt I needed to update my journal, got pretty sick and tired of seeing the super old My Little Pony review every time I logged in. For those of you who don't know, a lot of things happened since my last post. I graduated from SCAD, lived in Savannah for a year, worked at Old Navy for a few months (ugh), and finished my first Issue of "The Bolt Strikes". A few months ago I did a road trip across the country to California where I'm staying now, trying to somehow make my way into this air tight fortress that is the animation industry. *Sigh*, no far no progress, but I am working on "The Bolt Strikes"
My Little Pony... hmmm...
I dont understand the MLP craze but wanted to figure it out, I head that all it takes is 5 episodes to get you hooked so a few days ago I watched the first five and this is the review I wrote about it:
So I just finished watching the first 5 episodes of My Little Pony and to be completely honest my views have not changed much. Lets start with the pros, or my likes of the show:
- In the first episode when the show gives little hints to "Nightmare Moon" like her reflection in the big hour glass, or the moon craters in the shape of her head was pretty cool and I thought that was really clever.

totally understand you dude, fellow scad student here, and it's so annoying how you're pretty much forced to do fanart all day just to get pageviews and recognition if your not well known. I think people are just too comfortable with the things they are familiar with that it becomes hard for them to actual look for something different. Same thing happens at cons.
