Hi guys! I hope you've all had a wonderful holiday season! It's almost the new year and I just wanted to say a few things...

I'm so thankful for all of your support and kindness. It's been such a great year for me and you're all a big reason for that.

Something I don't like to talk about much is my anxiety when dealing with the social aspects of DA, so I don't respond/comment much. I feel horrible about that but that's no excuse for not being more active in the community. I hope no one has ever felt put off by my inactivity, if so I am sorry. I hope to be more involved this upcoming year.

I hope everyone has a safe and happy New Year!

Thank you.

Personal: [link] (I just made this but beware of stupid)

Link me yours!

If not, link me some of your recent work. I haven't taken the time to completely go through my watches... forgive me!

Show me some of your own artwork that you're most proud of! Or just your own personal favorites, WIP's, anything~ I'd love to see them! Don't be shy either

Link from wherever if you have too.

Just wanted to let everyone know that there is a thing going around in DA journal entries usually titled "Hey guess wut!", "ROFL this is great", "oooomg this is soo stupid lol", etc

DO NOT click the links in these entries, it'll do the same thing to you and it will become a ridiculous chain reaction. I don't know if it hacks your account or not, but I'd suggest you change your password as a precaution.

Sorry to anyone who may have been a victim of mine.

I apologize for slacking with comments and drawings lately! I have a way of making myself feel horrible for not drawing, so i've been trying to be a little easier on myself and tending to other things i've been neglecting! (have you read any good books lately?)

However, I will actually be away from the internet for the next few days BUT I promise I'll get to everyones drawings and comment on the 500+ I have already. D:

I had a long and overwhelming night after posting my Pika Surf drawing, I woke up to several requests for it to be printed on a t-shirt. I've been researching copyright laws and it looks as though I wouldn't be able to have that done since it's not a parody work. I'll try to think up ways to modify it so it is acceptable for printing.

Or am I mistaken? If you have any experience with having your work printed on a shirt, please let me know.

Either way, thank you everyone for all of your sweet comments! I will get to all of them soon! And a massive thank you to

Help the wonderful with her contest entry! If you like it please favorite. Either way, please check out the rest of her gallery! (it's worth it)

So sorry for not being active the past week. As a few of you know, I was visiting family BUT I promise after I get a good night's sleep I'll sift through everyone's deviations!

Over my break I sketched out most of the cast for Chubs and Grubs! I've been so excited to draw them all out since I got home. So expect some of that in the next week. I also worked out a list of projects I would like to do and it should keep me busy for the next year, hopefully. But you all know I love suggestions! And once I get some personal goals out of the way I'd like to start art trades and requests again!

I also saw that I reached 10,000 page views while I was gone. You are all amazing!

I've been a little uninspired and unhappy with my work lately. I've been wanting to refine my art style which is going to be a slow process, and that's fine, but some of the things i'm working on lately I abandon soon after out of frustration.

I'm not going to do a complete transformation. To be honest I DO like my current style in some ways. But I have a lot to learn, and a lot to improve on.

So, for practice,  I'd like some more ideas of what you all would like to see from me! List anything! This isn't for requests, really, and I may not post everything. Just need some extra motivation. (I still have some unfinished ideas from the last journal post and I have them in mind as well)

Thank you

Hi guys! How was everyone's holiday?

I'm curious to know what my watchers would like to see from me in the new year? I can't make a poll so ~type to me~

1. More zombies!
2. Left 4 Dead
3. Cute things (like what?)
4. Redo some of your god awful drawings from the beginning of the year
5. Work on some of your non-vector stuff
6. Other Fan art (tell me what you'd like to see)
7. OC's
8. Other (explain)

I may take requests depending on what you want from me. Note me and we can work something out.

Also, just a big thank you to everyone! You've all better so supportive and sweet!

I'm thinking of doing a few more spherical characters, but i'm afraid of over doing it. I have a few random characters in mind but I was wondering if anyone had anything they'd like to see?

I literally have pages full of ideas and fanart I want to go through so I feel sort of overwhelmed even thought I shouldn't. I just want to work on everything at once.

Also: UGH

I probably wont be updating this for the next two weeks as I am visiting family but, I may get bored and just draw so we'll see! I'll miss you guys~

I will try to keep up with everyone else though.

What the hell is this new set up? I CAN'T STAND THIS
