Hello to one and all!

My computer is now squeaky clean of viruses and spyware, and Deviant Art's art uploader hasn't given me any more trouble, so on with the show!

My artwork style has changed again, along with my coloring style... Don't worry, you'll all be seeing it soon. I'm now quite thoroughly attached to my digital tablet. :wink:

I might have a few other surprises hidden up my sleeves in the upcoming months, all of which include me updating more often. (Somewhere, a small pig has suddenly grown wings! Look out below!)

Finally, I want to say thank you.

To all of those that I have met online, and for the friends that I have made here, to those I watch and those who watch me -- thank you for being patient with me, for looking at my art, and for your comments on that art (on the rare occasion that I actually get around to posting it. )

I have the utmost respect for all of you, and it means more to me than you can imagine. (And all of you can imagine quite a lot. )

This is not meant to be an attention getter -- just an honest thank you.

ABOUT MY GALLERY

"Guinness World Record’s Gamer’s Edition will be attempting the ‘Largest gathering of Games characters’ and are looking for all willing and able cosplayers and gamers to come down and make Guinness World Record history!"

Is your cosplay of a game/anime/manga character who has their own game? You could set a world record, appear in the Guinness Book of World Records, and get a free gift for appearing!

When? March 18th, from 10:30 to 11AM.
Where? Millenium Bridge, London.

Awesome? Absolutely.

SEGA itself is hosting the event, and TRiPPY () has been officially invited to be their mascot for NiGHTS. Along with a certain green bunnyman, DiGi Valentine, who will be dressed in the glory of yet another famous SEGA character.

More information at TRiPPY's site,
NiGHTS into Dreams.com

Or, specifically,
The Event Page

Unfortunately, they released the information of this a bit late, so there are many people who WANT to participate, but are otherwise unable to.

So please -- do it for the those of us who cannot -- and make this occasion one that will be remembered for years to come!

ABOUT MY GALLERY

--------------------------------
ABOUT MY GALLERY
--------------------------------

Before anything else is said, I need to give a warning to anyone who watches me.

I can be -unbelievably- slow, when it comes to uploading new art. I've been working on this, so please, bear with me. This art account is for fan-art, mostly, as all of my original stuff is being used for my Studio,

Now for the actual 'About My Gallery' part. D

---------------
General
---------------

If you don't like something I've drawn for whatever reason, I'm all for talking about it -- but I would prefer to talk about it in private to avoid a mess on the pages. I'm usually rather rational about things, and would prefer to talk in a calm fashion about the problem.

This goes for fanart or original, so don't be shy about talking to me.

---------------
Wallpapers:
---------------

I have no problems resizing or retooling one of my images into a wallpaper if you would like one.

If you send me a note, I can resize the image and move -- not remove -- the watermark.

-------------------------------------------
Colored Images From Other Artists:
-------------------------------------------

Some of you may notice that I have colored artwork by other artists before. I just want to make clear: I always ask the original artist if I can have permission to color their image first. They are always credited in the Artist's Comments, no exceptions.

Likewise, if I have a line art that you would like to color, send me a note asking about it, and I'll get to you as quickly as possible. I do ask that if you use an image of mine, you give me credit. And if I have a watermark on the picture, I can move it to a place more convenient for coloring, if you need me to.

---------------
Comments:
---------------

Advanced Critique is always encouraged! I'm trying to improve -- and while helping me to inflate my ego any further is always nice, I still need the critique to improve. If you see something wrong with a picture -- please tell me!

Also, I just want it clear -- I like to recieve comments on any of my images -- I seriously don't mind if it's an older picture.

-------------
"Rules"
-------------

I don't approve of flaming or spam.
I don't care much for recieving 'chain letters'.

I'm okay with being tagged for 'memes' or quizzes, though.

-------------------------
Favorites ('s)
-------------------------

A Favorite is a compliment -- I don't mind if you don't leave a comment with it.

If you put a on my art, but you don’t receive a ‘Thank you’ comment, please don’t be upset! As I said before, I’m lazy. If I haven’t gotten around to you yet, I’m sorry.

Also, if I have placed a on one of your pictures, but you come back eventually and don’t see it in my Favorites list anymore -- I didn’t remove it because I didn’t like it anymore!

I often use my favorites as a way to find artists that I love the art of, but that I didn’t watch -- it’s possible that your image was removed from my favorites because I’m now actively watching your gallery.

-------------
Art Theft
-------------

I’ve heard a lot of horror stories about this one.

I watermark my art for this reason. If you see artwork by another artist that I colored, I'll have watermarks on those too -- and I credit the original artist in the watermark as well -- if you see an image that I forgot to watermark, let me know. (Because I'm a bit scatterbrained, like that.)

If anyone sees a person claiming my artwork as their own, please, please tell me!




Well, I think I've made this long enough... This journal will be edited accordingly, as I come up with new, cruel ways of torturing your poor eyes with my horrid artwork.

As always, thank you for visiting my gallery!
