Well not right now...but they usually are. I think they went out for a coffe break.

I know I haven't been around in forever, it was due to a combination of things. Mostly the fact that I was finishing my first semester at school for Game Art and Desgin...just the foundations course, but I was really trying to apply myself, for once. Plus my ADD has been a problem lately.... I am on a break from school, trying to catch up on everything before I go back to school.

I thew up a couple new deviations, so let me know what you think.

It just came to my attention through somebody elses journal entry the recent changes in policy to DA. Please read the new terms, (click the submit button), especially #3 and #4, which basically give DA the right to use, modify, exibit, reproduceany and all of your work worldwide without any royalties or benefits to you... And they even have the rights to your NAME and likeness, thats just freaking rediculous.

Really disturbing stuff, I worry about what they can do with my work posted on here, I never really thought about it, as my work was not pro enough to think anybody would use it....

I love the community and social aspects of DA, so I don't want to leave completely...but I have been wanting to start my own personal/portfolio art site for my own work, and this is a great incentive. I will probably continue to post on DA, but in a way I don't have to worry about them stealing my stuff.

I finally got a digtal tablet, a wacom Intuos 9x12, its frikin sweet. Now all I have to learn is how to actually use it well...

I have been putting off learning to cg because I know it would be a waste of time with the mouse. I have done a bit of digital inking with the tablet, in photoshop 5.5. Can anybody give me some idea which is a good program to do digital inks, or digital painting? I know its alot of just preference, but I just want to know before I learn on photoshop, and then find out some other program works easier..

Thanks,
Mike

I have been awhile in posting, but finally did some new artwork and posted it! A crazy girl with a big giant hammer, how kickass is she?


I have a feeling now that everything is installed right, my stupid computer will crash and I will have to do it all over again.

Thanks to all who check out and comment on my work, you rock.

Over.
Mike

I haven't posted in quite a while...almost 3 months now, mostly due to the fact that my computer is crashing about every week or two, and I am too busy working to reinstall and scan/post all the new art I have been doing.

Well...plus I have been kinda lazy, playing lots of video games, and actually not drawing as much as I should.

Big news though, I am applying to the Art Institute near where I live, for the Game Art and Design course...I am so freakin stoked. Its pretty much a sure thing that I will be starting that course in January, so I am gonna bust my butt to sharpen my skills until then.

Thanks to everybody who kept a whatch on me, even though its been a while. As soon as I can get my comp fixed and install my scanner, I will be posting some of the best stuff I have done since I have been gone.

Thanks.

Mike D.
