Hello! :D Long time no see :noes:
Hope everyone had a good Christmas and Happy New year! :love: I got many stickers, I don't know what to do with them all ... ahhh :noes:

Anyways, sorry about the lack of activity, my net's been cut off (Again) for the past two weeks or so. The manly contest is over sadly and will be judged as soon as me and Molly can get together (When the snow isn't 5 inches thick :noes:) and judge them with our judging eyes.

Go oggle the entries here while you wait for the results (Which is your favourite? :dummy:)! If you've entered and your entry isn't there let me know! :D


...so, has anything exciting happened to anyone lately? :noes:
We have had lots and lots of snow. And my dog is ill, she is feeling very sorry for herself )': We are taking her to the vet soon. Hopefully it's nothing too serious.

Bye! :heart:

Ps. I got a pokemon annual for £1!!! I feel like I accomplished something.

This looks like fun, ask me things : [link]

Haha, I've been a member of DA for 7 years now. I think we should celebrate with a spot of rum and some strawberry cheesecake! :dummy:


It's been snowing quite a bit lately :dummy:
It's been causing havok with transport but it's so beautiful.
We started making a snowman, got bored and threw snowballs.
Yes.
It's been so cold I've been chilling in my kigirumi for most of the day. It is a large, pink kangaroo 8D! It's so manly!

yeaaaahhhh!!

I'm tired of stupid people

I am tired of stupid people.
They're all over they internet. I think someone's taught them how to breed.

First off, I am so bored of people whining about how much Deviantart sucks on their journals. It's pretty much the anti Christ. And yet, as horrible as it is, they never leave.
:iconstaresplz:Nevorrrrrr

Also, just what is it about the manga/anime style people hate so much? Because it's generic and easy? Well, if you took the time to look you'd see that the style is pretty diverse and, as for easy; if the people making these accusations would take the time to try and create something worthwhile they'd see it wasn't quite that simple.

Sure there is a lot of generic stuff, and there is a lot of it that's done poorly but I think you'll find that with any style - how many people draw Disney type images, how many people render realistic pencil portraits, how many people have Sonic characters that look like they're straight from the series? There is some that's amazing, some that's good and some that's not. Whether or not the latter outweighs the others does it matter? What harm does it do to anyone if people want to do this? They do it because they enjoy it, or they're paid to do it.

If it's an issue with popularity - they're not popular because of what they do, they're popular because they're good at it. I know there are a ton of people who deserve way more attention than they get, but if you've got a problem with it suggest them for DDs or promote them in your journals or newsletters. Note them to your friends. Or if you feel that way about your own work then promote yourself; comment and ask people to look at your stuff, the worst they can do is say no.

Another thing - what is it that gives people this idea that digital art is easy? It's just another tool - it doesn't immediately make you a better artist, there's no shortcut to do that. Photoshop is just as difficult as oil paints if you want to do it well. Saying things like "Well, that's done on the computer, I'd be able to do that if I had a tablet..." is just an excuse. If you don't have something make the best of what you do have, master pencil crayons or biros if you have nothing else.

I'm sorry for ranting. I'm just so sick and tired of people belittling a style I'm so fond of and enjoy making and observing. I've read it all over the internet and been told it to my face, it's frustrating and tiresome.
It's just my opinion, feel free to disagree with me, I don't mind :V



On a lighter note, I just got back from London. I'm tired and my legs hurt, but it was fun :)
Also, go check out the MANLY contest entries! [link] Give them some manly love. (Aha, I don't know how we're gonna chose a winner ...)
Just under two weeks more to enter btw!! :la:
(Sorry I'll have to get to messages when I'm more awake :meow: Or I'll end up leaving wierd half sentances that don't make sense and seem funny to me now but I'll regret in the morning)
Wonderfulness! : O

MANLY




MANLY

It's that time of year where MANLY men come out to play and you can't go 10 feet without being greeted by the smell of sweat and testosterone. So to celebrate this wonderful time of year me and `Mollinda have decided to hold a contest and everyone is invited to take part!
Even you :iconstaresplz:

Your task is to create the MANLIEST piece of artwork you can!

This contest is open to two catagories, the first is the regular catagory where you can unleash all your abilites to make something as epic and MANLY as your MANLY brain can manage and the second you must use all your skills you make something so bad it makes babies cry and old people fall over. The worse it is the more points you gain - so get dodging and burning the hell out of it or creating a monstrosity in MS Paint.

Just remember - KEEP IT MANLY!!
Any women in there and you will loose points. Unless they are making sammiches! MANLY sammiches!

The deadline is 30th December!


The MANLY Rules

Regular catagory
