Honoring Cheri

Journal Entry: Mon Sep 8, 2008, 4:22 PM


                  
              :iconcherigirl:

Its been one whole year since the DA community has been hit with the loss of !cherigirl. Somehow, it feels a little longer.

I know her brother and close friends are doing some kinda service in her memory exclusive for those closest to her.  I don't think I fall under that category, but I still feel I should say something to honor her in my own way.

When I first signed up on DA a little over two years ago, I didn't know how things worked around here yet.  Didn't know how to get peoples attention.  Cheri was one of the first people to say hi and comment on my work and whatnot and pretty much kept an open eye of how I was doing since.

While I can't rightly say we were close friends, you couldn't help but love her.  She was always so sweet and actually meant what words she said.  That polite nature became very contagious to those that came into contact with her.  Its rare to find someone like that on the internet of all places.

Wether she knew it or not, she meant a lot of things to a lot of people.  I'm glad I was one of them.  Cheri isn't someone I'm ever going to forget.  And I doubt many others won't either.

I'm not sure if this journal was a good idea on my part, but I feel something had to be said.
To me she will always be appreciated and missed.

Setting things right

Journal Entry: Sat Aug 30, 2008, 2:30 PM




Okay.
Updating a little bit for the first time in god knows how long.  Got along going on, so I'mma make this as short as I can.

Okay, first off, I try to keep my personal problems as far away from DevientArt as I possibly can.  Its just not the place for it.  But from what I've learned is that whether I do or don't, my personal problems do indeed affect people here.  They just don't know why and it just makes me look irresponsible and neglectful.
Which I assure everyone isn't the case.  My mind never stops with the responsiblities I've thrown on my own shoulders.  Part of the problem being I might have dived a little futher than I should have. I took a sink or swim approach and the fact of the matter is at the moment, I'm sinking.  I think I've been sinking for awhile.

So here's the plan.

I'm going to finish the work that people either paid for or are on the queue for commisions.  Thats my first priority.  Its gotta be done.  I owe a couple of people a lot more than they now for putting up with me.  They know who they are.

Next, I'm going to have to try to rebuild my reputation from scratch.  I don't know how I'm going to do that right now, since I'm really contimplating wether or not I can even handle commisions.  I'm just not so confident I can right now.

Finally, ....this is the part that sucks...
those I owe work to through contests is going to be put on hold until further notice.  I just can't do it right now.
There's waaaaaay too much going on in my life to really keep up with anything.  If I owe you a half of an art trade, thats one thing.  You'll get it.  But everything else is on hold.
Just send me notes of what I owe you and from what contest so I can make a list.

Thats about it for now I suppose.  Hopefully, there'll be more updates to come.

Also want to thank all the new watchers I've gotten over my absence.  I appreciate it and hopefully, you'll all see a brand new Self-InFiction.

Well, folks, I've been quite M.I.A. as of late.  About a month without too peep.  Been a crazy month.  And December is still picking up.  

BUT I figured I'd let everyone know I'm still around. lol. And although they're not completely ready yet, I got some a few big works on the way. Including works that have been owed for quite some time.  Yes, they're finally on the way. :w00t: In the meantime though, I loaded up a kinda guide/mini tutorial that I've been sittin on to hold you over. (Let me know what you think. lol)

Also, I'm announcing my New Year's Resolution mad early. lol.  I'mma try to get a full fledged action packed web comic started sometime in the beginning of next year.  :D  Or at least I'mma try. lol.  Look for further announcements on that in the near future.  I'mma be lookin for a lot of guest artists when that comes around.  Time'll tell on that one. ;)

Speaking of comics, if you haven't yet, head on over to :iconafh:'s page.  She's almost done with the first chapter of her comic Double Dutch and she actually has the pages displayed in her gallery. You definitely want to check that out.  Its pretty damn funny.  AND the action, adventure, and crazy antics are to pic up in the very next chapter.  Also, read her current journal.  She's made it possible to be apart of the action.  So far, I'm on the list.  As well as the notorious :iconvanheist:


And now, I got a looooot of people that need be thanked for sending a watch my way.  I've been all too quite lately and these artists should know I appreciate every single one of them. ;)

Well, here's the new Journal I'mma start keeping up with for all the art I've been lucky enough to receive from others.  All the works I'm incredibly greatful for considering I had no idea I'd get to be cool with so many artists when first signing up on DA.  So to all the artists listed below, I owe you all a great deal of thanks and gratitude. :worship:
Consider this a mini shrine to you guys. ;)


With Current artists first:
(from here on in, look for the ":new:".  That's right.  Start scrollin down. ;))
:iconafh:
:thumb71033691: :new: :new: :new:
(now this was a pretty big suprise from my friend Li-li. She created this killer add for my upcoming project (Dredgewater Knights) using covers I had made from previous commisions.  And this came out soooo cool too.  Like the old adds you'd see in comics. I'll fully credit the cover artists when I upload this into the fanart gallery.  In the meantime, they are =questingraven, *AmericanNinjaX, and =ultema )

:iconzujey:
:new: :new: :new:
(this is one of Zujey's OCs.  But I was told it was inspired by some of my own designs.  Which is a huge compliment.  Didn't think my style was recognized as my own.  :)  But I'm glad it is)

:iconjohnbecaro:
:new: :new: :new:
(here's a piece I commisioned from *johnbecaro or Mourning Star and Stray.  And it came out pretty damn cool!!  Now, if you're like me and grew up on comic artists like Jim Lee, Mike Deodato, Dan Jurgens, George Perez, Trevor Charest, Mark Bagley, or any of the Kuberts than you'll LOVE this guys work. :)  Seriously, check this guy out.  Highly underrated in my opinion. ;) )

:icondemoncherry:

(First ever photomanip done of any of my OCs!! :D Its pretty damn cool too.  Perfectly captures just what Dredgewater is I think. So what do you Mourning Star fans think?  Be sure to let ~demoncherry (aka ~posse-uk ;) ) know what you think of this kickass piece. :D )

:iconbrashen:
:thumb64822647:
(Now here's another artist that I've been quite the fan of for a little while now. If you've come across his killer digi-painting ability, you could easily see why.  Dispite what people have assumed of him lately, don't buy into that trash talk btw, the man is incredibly talented and pretty friggin nice person.  This piece is fine example of his ability.  And get this, he says it ain't even finished yet!  How crazy is that? :D )

:iconsatosa:

(Yep.  More killer kickass work from my pal Sats. :D  This time as an entry to the Fanart Vault Contest.  When he told me he wanted to take a shot at Stray, I knew it was gonna come out different in the best of ways.  So wether he agrees with me or not, I'M RIGHT! :giggle: It came out friggin niiice!)

:iconzojo227:

(now here's an artist I grew fond of during the first OCBC.  He's cool people AND has a pretty cool style about his work.  And now I've been lucky enough to have seem him draw one of my characters. :D  Though this intended for the :decocfanartclub: when its done, its also goin to be entered into the Fanart Vault contest since it happened to be created during the contest window. :D)

:iconfydrussel99:

(Yep.  ANOTHER killer entry from someone new. :D  A different, but powerful, take on Mourning Star.  I didn't really expect someone to take this approach, but Fy went for it and made it work.  I'm gonna hate judging this contest. lmao.  So many dope pieces)

(Fy's second entry for the Fanart Vault contest. :D  And this time Mourning Star brought a friend.  And so did FY. lol.  Because he found a way to include this cool linework with some of *HOON's for the background.  And it really has a damn good effect.)

-:iconcodename-fang:

(another entry for the Fanart Vault Contest.  This time something a little more geared towards a more ....um mature style. :D  But seriously, if you don't mind some adult work and some beautiful womens, than this guys gallery is one you wanna check out. ;) )

-:iconduo2nd:

(and yet another new artist that jumped into the Fanart Vault contest.  This entry of my character Outlaw in a more cartoonish/anime form.  Can't help but love the solid look this this guys style. :) )

-:iconzujey:

(here's yet another entry for the Fanart Vault Contest I got goin.  And yet, from aother artist thats kinda new to me.  For someone I haven't talked to much yet, she seems pretty sweet and enthusiastic.  And as it turns out, pretty creative as well. :) )

(Zujey's second entry for the Fanart Vault contest. :D  This girl is starting to spoil me. lol.  I really don't what else to say that I haven't alreadymentioned above just recently.  But its obvious this girl works fast and I'm quite curious as to whats next for her.. ;) )


(Zujey's colored updates of her entries for the Fanart Vault Contest. :D  You gotta love with an artist tries there damndest to go the distance to go all out.  Friggin love it. :salute:'s ~Zujey)

-:iconlegendaryeiyuu:

(a suprise entry from a new challenger for my Fanart Vault contest.  And what a suprise indeed. :D  Its awesome to see damn good artists fallin out of the woodwork for the contest.  And :devlegedaryeiyuu: is definitely one of the artists. :D)

(and now quickly followed by yet a SECOND suprise entry for the Fanart Vault Contest. :D  And this time of a kickass shot of Stray Vigilante. :D  I think ~legendaryeiyuu got herself a new perminent fan. :D :D :D )

(this girl just keeps crankin out the entries.  And they're just getting better and better.  I think this piece is goin on the list of favorite Mourning Star interpretations.  Without a doubt. :D )

-:iconshakahnna:
-
(AAAHH!! Got another kickass chibi done from Shaka!! :D :D :D This time of Outlaw for my Fanart Vault Contest.  I swear, the votes are NOT going to be easy.  I swear.  I'm so spoiled. :bounce: )

-:iconsamusfairchild:

(now here's an unexpected suprise. :)  Turns out miss FairChild decided to do a pic of my OC Claire of the ~OCFanArtClub.  Which to me is friggin great since I'm a recent fan of her work. So my day is now made and I can sleep happily. lol)

-:iconkillacaravagio:

(here's a piece from one of the coolest artists on DA that was offered up in a journal offer.  He was cool enough to draw my character Outlaw. :)  If you want to see some killer work, head on over to his gallery.  His inks simply ROCK!)

-:iconsalahare:

(here's a VERY welcome suprise and also a welcome addition to the Fanart Vault contest.  This piece blew me away with its crazy detail and awesome action dynamics. :) )

(Whoa!....Thats all I gotta say for now.  WHOA!  Just read the comment I left on this one.  Says it all I think. :) )

-:iconnun0:

(this one came across kinda by accident. lol.  Nun wanted to practice angles from one of Last Scionz crazy dynamic pieces.  That piece just happened to be the one I commisioned from him of my character Mourning Star. lol)

-:iconnikivandermosten:

(here's a piece I know Niki has put a lot of time into.  And I gotta say, all that time was definitely well spent. ;)  He did it for my fanart contest of my OCs.  And he pretty much crammed ALL the characters in there. :)  Hell, even I'M in it. :D)

-:iconthefopper:
:thumb60117486:
(here's a piece that was originally offered up in Mr. Harlock's journal for a 10 free sketch offer to celebrate his gettin 5000pageveiws.  In my opinion, he should have a LOT more.  Very underrated artist.  So go check him out. NOW! ;) )

-:iconrefraign:

(now here was a killer suprise outta nowhere.  ReFraign (a duo and then some I think) was goin threw the ~OCFanArtClub gallery and decided to give my OC Claire a shot.  And MAN I'm glad they did.  Came out hoooooot!!! :D )

-:iconquestingraven:
(now here's a piece I've been lookin forward to for awhile.  And MAN was it worth the wait!!  Yet another incredibly killer commision.  This time from a DA artist I've been quite the fan of since about the beginning of the year. If you haven't checked out =questingraven yet, I HIGHLY suggest doin so NOW! ;) )

-:iconanairellan:
(this here was a piece that caught me by suprised for the ~OCFanArtClub.  And this is only HALF of it!!
(aaand this right here is the second half!!  Mourning Star vs. ~posse-uk's Bastet!!  And OMG!! LOOK at this crazy battle!! So much goin on in one shot.  Its friggin great!! I'm so spoiled its ridiculous. :lmao:)

-:icontomatodragon:
(This was done as a commision.  I asked to have MS face a few ninjas. .....and ~TomatoDragon throws in a few CLANS worth!! Friggin INSANE!!!  Lookin like MS's own personal Burly Brawl.  I LOVE IT!!)

-:iconpetitoe:

(This was done as the third round of ~nichts OC battle contest Judgement.  And it blew me away.  I wouldn't be suprised if I lose this round to this very awesome comic. :) )

-:iconpunkguta:
:thumb54239765: (Now this was a commish that I was lucky to have gotten done.  See, folks?  It never hurts to at least ask. ;)  Guta was more than kind enough to except the commish and COMPLETELY blew me away.  This is just the WIP and it STILL looks great!)
:thumb54340493: (and this is what it looks like fully painted and with the swords added.  As I said before, totally ACED the character!! :D)
:thumb54340933: (now a much better look at how the sheaths came out on the back of the character.  Looks better than how I even invisioned it.  Seriously.  I does.)
:thumb54341191: (and this last shot here makes for a great dramatic veiw.  Definitely showin the feel of the character)

-:iconpeng-peng:
(here's a really dope commish I was able to obtain by catchin ms. peng-peng's 5555 pageveiw kiriban. :dance:  If you hadn't scope this girl's gallery, NOW is the time.  She does these awesome comic styled pin-ups. :D  Amongst other things of course.  But those are obviously her strong point I think.)

-:iconelnefashu:
:thumb53776722: (here's a suprise from the artist that won first place in my first OC contest. :D  Its still in the early stages, but I always enjoy seein the beginnings of a piece.  Still pretty cool. :D)
:thumb57614694: (this is the finished Mourning Star piece that is now fully colored for catche El's 5k pageveiw kiriban. :D *raises the roof*  Its the dopeness!  Like the bandana around the face. ...hadn't though of that myself. ....hmmm...)

-:iconce-rap: (<-- :worship: :worship: :worship:)
(Now here's a dude I've been BEGGIN to get some work from.  One of the coolest dude's here.  Swear to god.  Probably even more nice than I'm told I am. :) For real.  With CRAZY talent.  This is his half of a trade that I've been lucky enough to be a part of of my character Mourning Star.  Now I gots to get started on my half QUICK!! lol)

-:iconmistress-of-fire:
(this is actually from my first round over at ~Niichts' OC Battle Comp.  Where MoF's character Roja was pitted up against my character Mourning Star. ...she maced him. lol.)

-:iconblinddragon: (scope this dude's gallery!!)
(here's another guy I've been beggin to add to the list. :D  And now I finally get to the privilege of postin somethin of his.  This is a piece done for the contest over at the ~OCFanArtClub involving both my character Mourning Star and *Blue-haired-farmer's Eleanor in a ...procarious... meeting of sorts. ;) )

-:iconunholypaladinstudios:
(here's a suprise piece from the grand prize winner from my second contest.  He decided to take a crack at Outlaw. :)  This is just the pencils so far.  And its already lookin pretty good)

-:iconrandomredux:
(well, I did a piece for him not too long ago that he seemed to like and just following that, he opened up cut prices for his infamous WoS pieces.  So naturally, I was curious as to how Megan would look in his pin-up style.  So she's in there. :D  And I thank he did her justice.  Partially nude, but done tastifully.  Gotta love that. ;) )

-:iconkidmarvelj:
(okay, this was a suprise.  This is an entry of a contest over at the ~OCFanArtClub featuring my character.  The idea was to re-invision the character as a woman.  And let me tell ya, NO ONE takes more into account for redesigns than this guy. ;)  He's awesome with them.  Check out his gallery.  You'll see just how right I am. ;) )
(okay, now this one wasn't done for me so much as its a groupshot of some of the OCs over at the :ocfanartclub:.  But KMJ  was cool enough to include my character in there. So naturally, I'm flattered.  And I think that deserves to be showcased here as well. ;) )
(and a third piece in probably as many days.  I'm tellin ya, this kid is a frikkin MACHINE!!  This time he did his rendition of my OC Outlaw. He definitely got the idea of what the character is all about. :D)

-:iconfrontliner:
:thumb53352144: (I finally get to add one of my early DA friends to the list of kickass gift art.  And it came out absolutely perfect. ;)  Here's a guy that loves his dynamics done right. :)  His gallery is still building since his style seems to have evloved some.  Keep an eye out for this guy. :) )
:thumb53421537: (and heres a second MS piece from Frontliner in as many days.  And this one is just as amazing as the previous, if not better. Just... WOW)
:thumb53478911: (man, FL just keeps pumpin them out lately. :D  This time of my character Reign.  Which as I understand it, was done as a practice to prep for another piece of her versus Mourning Star. :boogie:  VERY much lookin forward to that if these latest pieces are any indication.)
:thumb54083217: (This is the piece that FL has been grueling over for me catching his 1000pv kiriban.  And, man... I can see why he was goin nuts over this.  LOOK at THAT!! Its friggin AAAAWESOME!!!  Oh, I asked him to draw my two characters Mourning Star and Reign battling out.  And I don't think I coulda done this any better.  Or even NEAR that cool!!)
:thumb61080577: :new: :new: :new:
(FL did this for part of the FanArt Vault Contest I got goin.  But I know he wanted to take a crack at drawin my character Claire for awhile now.  Damn glad he did, cuz this came out DOPE!!)

-:iconodile-rosae:
(done as an entry for a contest at the :devocfanartclub, but blew me away with the amount of detail done with the coloring.  Look at that.  ALL by hand.  Thats CRAZY good!)
(got a killer suprise here with Miss Rosae's beautiful rendition of my character Outlaw.  She did a great job gettin her pretty much picture perfect.  Maintaining the fun lovin perky bandit personality to her.  VERY nice.)
(Miss Rosae was throwin a 10 free sketch journal, and being the fan that I am, I just couldn't pass that up.  So I asked her to try her hand at my character Claire.  I knew it'd be damn good, but I didn't expect her to TOTALLY ace the character.  You would think she created her. :D  Friggin NICE!)

-:iconfuxorz:
(a suprise piece from this excellent artist.  If you're familiar with this guys work, than you'd know he's definitely a perfect choice to have drawn Megan. ;) )
(~fuXorZ has just recently turned 21. :)  And to celebrate, he decided to take up some requests for quiiiiite a few people.  I was definitely lucky enough to get on that list.  Cuz his rendition of Mourning Star is pretty bad ass!! :) )

-:iconamericanninjax: (note: ANOTHER INCREDIBLE ARTIST!!)
(a piece I comissioned from ANX that just SCREAMS Mourning Star!  Seriously, the dude fights like a friggin DEVIL and this piece shows just that.  My god.)
(I liked the last piece he did sooo much that I commissioned him again.  This time to battle one of my fav superheroes. Nightwing!)

-:iconultema: (note: SCOPE THIS GIRL'S GALLERY!!)

("Oh! My! GOD! Just doesn't seem to sum up my reaction to this incredibly fantastic piece of art that this girl had done for me.  Completely blew me away.  Perfectly sums up the more subtle side of the character.)
(and Ms. Nia once again has me cryin tears of joy. :tears:  This time I had commissioned her through the #schattenjager-guild to "jagerize" (and I don't mean my favorite hard liquor) my OC Outlaw. :)  And it came out just flawless.)

-:iconbeowolf052:
:thumb49627898: (request from his forum topic.  Pretty sleak design too)

- :iconcelleri-kun: (mad cool people. :glomp:)
  (another gift from Cel. :) This time of one of her characters that she knows I'm crazy about.  I'm still comin down from this. :D)

- :iconsatosa: (note: CHECK THIS KID OUT!!! Fer real!)
(suprise gift art.  Brilliant with the lighting)
(suprise gift art on MySpace of all places. lol.  One of the best Az fanarts I've ever seen.  No lie.)

A DA friend lost....

.........for those that don't know yet, :iconcherigirl: has passed away. I just found out from :iconrabaato:'s current journal: [link]

Maybe this isn't the best way for anyone to find out.  And I apologize for that.  ...but what other way is there really....


Now,.... I didn't know her personally.  I met her here on DA and I guess knew her well enough for this to definitely leave an impact.  Enough to even hurt....

I'm... not really good at this kinda thing at all.  I'm really not sure what I'm supposed to do in a situation like this.  I guess I figured it be best to let anyone that happens to run in the same circles know that don't know already.  Because I'm sure those persons care as much as I do.

I don't have any real details or if theres anything being done in her memory as of yet.  I guess for now it'd be a good idea to keep an eye out for either :iconrobaato:'s or :iconbossygirl:'s journals.  Since I'm sure they knew her better than most.

I don't like goodbyes.

Nor do I handle loss well.

Not well at all.....

But goodbye, :iconcherigirl:.  ....you will be missed....

Okay, folks.  Its now Monday September 17th.  Know what that means?  It means the wait is OVER!!!!  Thats right.  Its time to announce the winners.

Now, before I post the list of winners, I want each and everyone one of you to know that the choices here were pretty damn difficult to make.  All the entries were pretty damn sweet.  And all of them were worth being winners.  Unfortunetly, not everyone can win.  I even extended the prizes so there'd be more than just three winners.  And I wish I could offer more.  For those that didn't win this time around, keep in mind it was just barely.  Seriously.  This was NOT easy to decide.  And knowing me, there'll be plenty more contests in the future.  I just can't help myself. :giggle:

For the list of winners, please scroll down to the bottom of the journal to the features section. :D  Congratulations to everyone.  It was a grueling battle. :salute:

:iconocfanartclub: :iconpwfa: :iconunseenartists: :iconclubyugioh: :iconcolor-me-club: :iconink-n-color:




Got two things to say right off the bat:

-1)  The :iconocfanartclub: ~OCFanArtClub is just opened up sign-ups for an Original Character Battle Contest.  So if you're up for it, I'd suggest headin on over there to sign up.  They've got a pretty damn fair panel of judges for it too.  I should know.  I'm one of them. ;) lol.  More info can be found here: [link]
Hope to see you there. :)

2) ONLY 8 MORE DAYS FOR THE FANART VAULT CONTEST!!  Thats right. Its over on the 9th.  So if you intend to enter, consider this your 2 minute warning. lol.  And for anyone new that may want to enter, the details can be found lower in this journal.

....and thats all for the :new: right now. :D



Okay, a few  updates:

1) THE VAULT IS OPEN!! That's right, the Self-InFiction Fanart Vault is now open and ready for veiwing.  Not all the work is up yet, but I got some of it up.  I'd hope that some of you give it a watch so's to help further promote these awesome artists.
The vault: :iconself-infictionfav:

2) If anyone thinks they'd be too busy to join the Fanart Contest, but would like to be a judge, just comment in this journal or send me a note.  Not sure how many people I'll choose yet though.  But please feel free to step up. ;)



NOW!!! For the contest at hand!!:

!!SELF-INFICTIONS FANART VAULT CONTEST!!
(Both Artists AND writers welcome!!)

Here's the deal.  In honor of all the many artists that were more than gracious enough to send some incredible art my way (via gifts, trades, commisions, kiribans, memes, etc.), I've decided to open up a second account just for that art so's to bring those artists further exposure.  Though I am having problems getting it up and running at the moment, I hope to have it up by this weekend. :D

But I digress. :giggle:

With the opening of the FanArt Vault (thank you ~Rosydragon for the name. ;) ) I've decided to start a fanart contest so's to further fill it up with the hopes of bringing attention to even more kickass artists. :D

And here's how it goes down.
The contest will run from right now (July 3rd) up until my birthday :) (September 9th and cheap shameless plug. lol) This contest is meant for ALL kindsa artist and art forms.  The list below will give you the idea of the scope this contest is intended for. :)
List of mediums:
-fanart (all kinds)
-colorists (colors added to ANY of my lineworks)
-fanfiction
-wallpapers
-sigs/buttons/banners
-animated GIFs
-stamps
-3d art
-devIDs
-avatars
-comic strips/pages
-comic covers
-photomanipulation
-sculpts
and whatever else I may have forgotten.  No medium is taboo here.  

And whats a contest without prizes, right? :w00t:
-1st Place:
1 year DA subscription
3 fully colored request pieces from me

-2nd Place:
6 month subscription
2 fully colored request pieces from me

-3rd Place:
3 month subscription
1 fully colored request piece from me

BUT in addition to the top three winners, there may also be various runner ups to receive other art prizes specifically for them.  And the currnet top prizes MAY be added upon.  Still working that out a bit. Also, if anyones willing to donate prizes, feel free to let me know. :p lol
BUT!!!!
There must be at LEAST 15 entries (anyone can enter more than once. ;) ) for this contest to work.  I don't think I'm asking for too much giving the scope and possiblity of quite a few winners.

What characters are there to do fanart of you ask?
Well...
Stray Vigilante:

Mourning Star:
:thumb54340933:
Outlaw:

Thorn:
(I haven't decided his colors yet. Any ideas?)
Megan Melee:

Claire Wylder:

Twilight:

Reign:
:thumb54083217:
Me :rofl: :


Any questions, comments, or ideas please feel free to send them my way.  This is a different kinda contest for me, so any help or suggestions is most welcome.

OH!! And don't be greedy! TELL YOUR FRIENDS!!! :rofl:

DISCLAIMER:
Just to let it be clear, this is NOT a cheap ploy to get some brilliant art at a "discount price" or to con people into delivering art to be used for commercial use.  I am far from being that kinda scumbag and would never do anything so selfish.  I'm doing this cuz I appreciate all my watchers and anyone else that happens to stop by my gallery to leave a comment, fav, or even just check out some pieces.

First things first:
THE 20 COMMENT FEATURE IS COMPLETELY!!!  
Please feel free to check out all 20 wonderful artists at the bottom of the journal and be sure to scope out there galleries.  I was only able to pick three from each gallery, but the three you would've picked may differ from my own choices.  Only one way to find out though, right? ;)

NOW!!
This is the part where I call for some assistance from my DA buddies.  All of ya. :)
I finally decided to do something with my shoutbox for the time being.  I'mma throw a WHOLE buncha stamps in there. :giggle: (Thank you, *sparkpenguin ;) )

...but there is a dilema.  I don't know exactly where I should be lookin.  But since most of you all share some of my same interestseses, I'm askin you to post some links to some of the more kickass stamps that you know of that you think I'd rock. ;)  Wether there self-promoting or not.  A kickass stamp is a kickass stamp after all.

As you can see on the left to this journal (unless you're on my profile page. :p), I already got the ball rollin.  But I'mma need more I think. :)

So who wants to help out dear ol' Bill???

...anyone? No?  ....please? lol

10 FEATURED ARTISTS!
Don't know how this works yet? Its simple. The first 10 artists that comment in this journal get three of there works chosen by me to be featured. The catch? You gotta do the same in your journal as well. ;) BUT!!!! Since I was featured in quite a few of these and have yet to do it myself yet, I'mma up the limit to TWENTY ARTISTS!!! So get cracking!!

10 FEATURED ARTISTS!
Don't know how this works yet? Its simple. The first 10 artists that comment in this journal get three of there works chosen by me to be featured. The catch? You gotta do the same in your journal as well. ;)
BUT!!!!
Since I was featured in quite a few of these and have yet to do it myself yet, I'mma up the limit to TWENTY ARTISTS!!! So get cracking!!
Since I got this recently from :iconafh:, she gets first dibs at a VIP spot. :)

If there's anybody left out there that has original characters (also refered to as OCs around these parts) and hasn't heard about ~celleri-kun's killer idea for a club, than please keep reading. ;)

The club is: :iconocfanartclub:

Here's a breif idea of what the club is about. Anyone with original characters can join and add there characters to the gallery. Why? So other members can try there hand at drawing them. How cool is that? It's a great way to build versatility into ones own art style while finding other creative artist with kickass ideas. There's more to it than that. Please, take a look. I think this is an idea that can really build. I don't think anyone has tried something like this as of yet.

Okay, so the contest that ~Satosa and myself, along with guest artist =ultema, ran has come to a close. The competition was pretty tight for a contest that only ran for 3 days, so it was pretty tough to choose. But after some careful descisions, the choices have been decided. Time to announce the winners:

:iconsatosa:'s pick: :iconmutantwombat: with
-prize:
:iconself-infiction:'s pick: :iconcelleri-kun: with

Grand prize goes to: :iconunholypaladinstudios:
We decided to do something a little different for him since he had a few different (and cool at that) designs that played to each of our strenghts. We're each going to do a rendition of a diffirent one of his characters for the grand prize. ;).
Here are our pics for that:
:iconsatosa: will do:

So again, congrats to all the winners. And we'd like to thank all the aritists that joined up. There were a LOT of really cool designs. It was not easy to choose single characters.

And another quick thanks to =ultema for offering to help out. That was incredibly cool of her and even got me inspired for the idea behind the next contest. Thanks again, Ulty!! You ROCK!! :glomp:



----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, many of you already know about the contest I had recently ran. But what many of you probably DON'T know is that :iconcelleri-kun: has just started a really original and kickass idea for a club.

The club is: :iconocfanartclub:

In other news:
Anyone interested in having there OC (Original Character) put on a card? Well, ~clipnotdone, ~TheSoulCaptor, and ~ChaosSilver have come together to create a DA Card Game. Where all the characters are OC's from DA. But ONLY IF THE CREATOR WANTS TOO. These guys are lookin to "borrow" characters by anymeans. Its more or less for fun. For more info on this, please check out there forum topic here: Want Your Characters in a Card Game? I think it's an interesting idea. Anyone else?

So again, congrats to all the winners. And we'd like to thank all the aritists that joined up. There were a LOT of really cool designs. It was not easy to choose single characters.

For those that didn't get chosen this time around, I wouldn't worry too much. There may be another contest coming up sooner than you think. And I promise it'll be bigger with much better odds as well. I won't spoil nothing just yet. I'm still seeing what I can piece together. ;). So keep an eye out for that.

And another quick thanks to =ultema for offering to help out. That was incredibly cool of her and even got me inspired for the idea behind the next contest. Thanks again, Ulty!! You ROCK!! :glomp:

Okay, many of you already know about the contest I had recently ran. But what many of you probably DON'T know is that :iconcelleri-kun: has just started a really original and kickass idea for a club.

The club is: :iconocfanartclub:

Here's a breif idea of what the club is about. Anyone with original characters can join and add there characters to the gallery. Why? So other members can try there hand at drawing them. How cool is that? It's a great way to build versatility into ones own art style while finding other creative artist with kickass ideas. There's more to it than that. Please, take a look. I think this is an idea that can really build. I don't think anyone has tried something like this as of yet.

Anyone interested in having there OC (Original Character) put on a card? Well, ~clipnotdone, ~TheSoulCaptor, and ~ChaosSilver have come together to create a DA Card Game. Where all the characters are OC's from DA. But ONLY IF THE CREATOR WANTS TOO. These guys are lookin to "borrow" characters by anymeans. Its more or less for fun. For more info on this, please check out there forum topic here: Want Your Characters in a Card Game? I think it's an interesting idea. Anyone else?

Also, gotta give a quick shout to :iconce-rap: *CE-Rap. Since the OC Contest was his idea to begin with. I've just built upon it a tad. Welcome back, CE! We missed ya, bro. :manhug:

She had to get surgery on her hand. :( So do me a favor and stop by her page to show that sweetheart some love. ;) The girl is mad cool. Hope you're doin better, girl! :wave: :glomp:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay, so the contest that ~Satosa and myself, along with guest artist =ultema, ran has come to a close. The competition was pretty tight for a contest that only ran for 3 days, so it was pretty tough to choose. But after some careful descisions, the choices have been decided. Time to announce the winners:

:iconsatosa:'s pick: :iconmutantwombat: with
-prize:
:iconself-infiction:'s pick: :iconcelleri-kun: with
-prize:
:iconultema:'s pick: :iconkupi: with

Grand prize goes to: :iconunholypaladinstudios:
We decided to do something a little different for him since he had a few different (and cool at that) designs that played to each of our strenghts. We're each going to do a rendition of a diffirent one of his characters for the grand prize. ;).
Here are our pics for that:
:iconsatosa: will do:

So again, congrats to all the winners. And we'd like to thank all the aritists that joined up. There were a LOT of really cool designs. It was not easy to choose single characters.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yep, folks.  Started another one.  But this time I'm not alone.  It's me and and my friend :iconsatosa: running the show.  And we're both doing the prizes and choosing individual winners.  So check out the Original Character Contest over at the Thumbshare Forum.  More importantly, scope out ~Satosa's gallery.  Check out his style and see whats up ;p.  We have similar and different tastes in styles and genre's and quite unbiased.  Everyone's got a shot here.  It's only going to be for three days long, so don't sit out on this ;).

:new: CONTEST UPDATE! :new:
:iconultema: has generously decided to offer a prize as well.  So thats another chance to win a piece of excellent art from an excellent artist! So if you were backing out earlier thinkin your chances were slim, (shame on you ;p. lol) than know now the odds just got better.

Thanks, Ulty. ;)

Okay, I think I'm going to start announcing some of the winners tomorrow. But since there have been so many great character designs, and I decided to have up to six winners, obviously all of the commissions won't be finished just yet. I'm probably going to need a few more days on those, but I promise they WILL be done ;)

But for right now, I want to thank ALL the artists that gave me a :+devwatch: while the contest was going on. I would have thanked you all personally, but I was pretty much more swamped than I had originally anticipated with the contest. SOOOOO, my new fellow friends are:

Oh man.  Well, I absolutely HAVE to thank :iconultema: for throwing a 3 month subscription my way.  Man, what a sweetheart.  All lightning fast too.  Hit me like a fist. :lmao:  I'm still coming down for it.  So awesome.

BUT, since I literally JUST made the offer, I'm still going to keep it up until the end of tomorrow if there are a few people who still might want to capitalize on this oppurtunity.  I'm not doing this out of greed mind you.  Thats not me at all.  But its cheaper than a normal commission and I figure someone might want to take me up on the offer. :)  Yep, I'm all about fairness.

I will do up to three black and white inked commisions.  
1 month = 1 commision.
I might do more depending.  Hell, if I have time, I might throw in colors too.  So who's down?  Who'd like to help me out?
Thanks again to :iconultema:.  Now I gots to get to rearranging my journal as soon as I get a free moment. (I gots to eat. lol) There's alot to be done.

Yep, you heard right. Its now 1am. That means today is now the 8th. Times up and its time to decide the winners. With one small change.

THERE WILL NOW BE SIX WINNERS INSTEAD OF THREE!!!!

That's right. SIX winners:
1 first place winner
2 second place winners
3 third place winners

There were just waaaay to many good submissions to have just three. In fact, there were way too many to have just six, but I am only human ;). It's still going to be tough to decide, and I promise to announce the winners within the next few days. I just want to take today to consider EVERYONE!!

And I want to thank all the contestants that joined up. I really didn't expect that great a response. You've all been damn awesome too. So I promise not to make you all wait too long. I'll certainly keep you all posted.
