Not sure if it has to do with this new version or my constantly squirrelly internet connection, but some of my comments and replies aren't going through, certain things aren't getting deleted from my message box, and so on... so, if you are expecting a response from me but don't get it in about a week, please re-contact me just in case the message got lost somewhere.

I have seven requests down, and I'll probably only do a few more before throwing the towel. Besides, I have some trades that I'm itching to get crackin' on. ;)

And, I was tagged by ~animelover754

1. Post these rules.
2. Each tagged person must post 8 things about themselves on their journal.
3. I'm totally not tagging anyone. :lol: If you want it, take it!

1. I love opening packages of collectible cards.
2. I used to be a nuclear technician.
3. Now, I paint and patch holes in dry wall.
4. But I really want to work at Chalk River Nuclear Facility someday.
5. Some of the other things that I, at one point or another, "wanted to be when I grow up": taxidermist, veterinarian, photographer, minister, psychologist, and biochemist (animal pharmaceuticals research and development).
6. I used to enjoy winding down with a shot of tequila or a glass of cranberry juice and whiskey, but now most booze makes me sick just thinking about it.
7. I've never tried any illegal drugs.
8. But I sort of wish that I had.

There. I think that those are new, Nezu. :lol:

Cheers,
MSW

Sorry for the journal update spam. This will be the last one for a while, unless... well, you know, unless something incredibly urgent pops up.

A couple of you know this already, but this is my third account here at DA. I have one inactive account and one very defunct closed account (the older one). I've been thinking about re-submitting a few things that were on my original closed account, mostly because I want to start drawing my Manx creatures again, and I would like to have my older Manx work up to go along with it.

Would you guys be interested in seeing my older artworks? They are from 2004-2006 time frame. Sadly, my art quality hasn't improved much since then, so you probably won't notice that it's older work. :lol: Sad, right?

Comments would probably be disabled, because I don't really need constructive crit on anything that's two years old. And if you had any questions about it, you could still note me, of course!

For you old farts who have stuck by me through thick and thin, are there any specific pieces that you would like to see resurrected here? If you remember any of them, that. :lol:

And, finally, what sort of frequency would you like me to submit them in, assuming you would like to see them? A couple a day? One a day? A few a week? One big, huge spam?

Thanks for taking the time to read through this. I appreciate it!

Oh, and as a side note, I've gotten six of the little request-gifts finished... ten or so more to go! :D

Cheers,
MSW

Wow, this is amazing...

Journal Entry: Thu Jul 10, 2008, 8:07 PM
...Not really. My car windshield is completely fucked (id est, cracked in an aesthetically-pleasing but budget-busting spider web pattern), so I wound up staying late at work this afternoon to make a little bit of extra cash to have it replaced. I'm glad I'm no longer on salary just for these occasions. Unfortunately, it meant that I didn't get to go to the peace rally that was held in my city today. My partner said it was awesome and very uplifting, so I'm actually a little bummed out that I missed it. :X

I got rid of the CSS. It was just too purple and difficult to read and... well, frankly, it was pretty obvious that I was too lazy to learn how to do it properly. I have come to terms with the fact that I will never learn, so I'm just going to go back to the old fashioned DA-grey journal.

Don't get me started on DA V6. I know that my beef with it is just that it's new. Humans are evolutionarily conditioned to be adverse to changes (replace "evolutionarily conditioned" with "created" if you are one of those people), and I'm not a deviation from the norm in that respect. Hopefully I will get over my initial aversion and come to grudgingly accept or perhaps even like this new system.

But right now I can't help but think, "Why the hell is my message page so big?" It took me forever to find the forums, too.

Also, fucking firefox... About 1/5 of the deviation thumbnails that I see won't load (I can't even click on the damn things to open them, unless the deviation title is visible for me to click). It's not a V6 problem, because this has been on-going for a week. It's definitely Firefox, because IE works just fine (but I HATE IE, so I don't really want to switch back). I've reinstalled Firefox. I've deleted all of my cookies. Does anyone more computer-savvy than I have any suggestions?? PLEASE, for the love of all that is good and right in the world, I WILL MAKE A FREE INK DRAWING REQUEST to the first person who gives me a suggestion that actually works. Maybe even some colour, but no promises. Thanks, ~Kazaein!

Anyway, I cheered myself up with this (and the sobering realization that most other people in the world have better things to bitch and moan about than a cracked windshield and the new DA layout):
[link]

In addition, have a pile of deviations that I've come across recently and liked. That way, this entry isn't just me pissing vinegar:


Cheers, unless I hate you,
MSW

REQUESTS *CLOSED*

Journal Entry: Mon Jul 7, 2008, 9:11 PM

*EDIT* I'm now closed for requests in this feature.

*EDIT* I've also spent, ah, the last three and a half hours listening to music and looking at pictures. Thanks to everyone who took the time to enter a request. Sadly, I can't choose everyone, but I have a "small" list... oh, of about fifteen people. What will probably happen, though, is that I'll get through about half of them and call it a day (or month, however long it takes me to finish these). I won't be telling you if you were chosen until I upload the pieces, which will probably be in one RICOCKULOUSLY HUGE spam dump picture. And it might be anything from a digital sketch to a digital coloured piece, so... keep your eyes peeled. :D


I was tagged by :iconspiritfox3:. I will be listing (8) random facts about myself. Feel free to steal this tag meme for yourself if you like, as I typically don't tag anyone.

1. I do volunteer work for the Canadian Peace Alliance and the War Resister Support Campaign.
2. I watched every single episode of Rome last week, and it is now one of my favourite shows (too bad it's canceled). :(
3. My favourite animal is the rat.
4. I'm a night owl.
5. I am not a people person.
6. I feel uncomfortable in crowds: parties, clubs, you name it, I hate it.
7. I love to read, but I never make time for it anymore.
8. My brain is a realist, my heart is an idealist, and I just wish that I could find a middle ground.

I guess this is the part that everyone will read this journal for: REQUEST TIME. Please READ AND FOLLOW all of the directions before you respond! If you don't follow the rules, I will ignore your request!

RULES
1. Respond ONLY to this journal. DO NOT NOTE ME.
2. Requests must be in by the end of July 7.
3. You may request up to three characters.
4. These characters must have a linked character sheet or other image.
5. With each character, you MUST include "theme songs" or other musical pieces that reflect that character's story or personality. You do not have to link these songs (from youtube or whatever), you can just put the song title and artist name/ soundtrack name.
6. Please do not add extraneous information. I just want songs and reference sheet links. :)
7. Canine characters are okay to post, but I'm looking to do a few new things, so please post some other critters, too, if you can. I won't ping you if you don't, though.
8. Please read the next paragraph, too, so that you know how I am choosing people.

I will not be doing artwork for everyone who replies, and I'm not promising anything AMAZING. More than likely an ink drawing, maybe a cut-out, or a small background. I'll probably pick two or three characters at least, based simply on how I like the music and how it fits with the character. And I won't let everyone know immediately, it will be a surprise. But I will let you know how many I have chosen. This is basically just a fun exercise for me in doing visual work with audial reference as well (hence the songs), and I thought I might as well do something that other people benefit from, too.

Cheers,
MSW

Referencing and a Few Friends

Journal Entry: Fri Jun 20, 2008, 9:31 PM

Next week I will be making a "tutorial" journal on common misconceptions and questions about using references for your artwork, be it photos, live models, or other artwork. So if there is anything that you would like to see me address, please let me know!

In more fun news, I got to meet some fellow artists on Thursday: ~Poodlepupp and ~oak. It was fun meeting people that I had previously only talked to online. They were both cool people, and I enjoyed kicking back at the bookstore coffee shop to do some sketching with them.

:iconpoodlepupp: has a seriously awesome character design for Ghost Fish. He was an absolute pleasure to draw and needs more LOVE.
(okay, the last one isn't Ghost Fish, but it's still beautiful)

:iconoak: does the most amazing human portraits. I was amused to see that her class notes look like mine: full of random doodles amongst the actual text notes. Also, her rat atkins are :heart:


Although I didn't get to meet her this week, I got to know *CunningFox a little better. She is a really amazing person, and it was a pleasure talking to her. She's also accepting very cheap ACEO commissions, so please check her art out if you would like to get something very high quality at a reasonable price. Plus, the podcats... who doesn't love podcats?


And, finally, =savagebinn shared this picture with me (and I just had to check out the companion pictures):


Cheers! ;)
