A word in defense of our sponsors.

I am not going to lie; I have no idea what exploded on dA this time?

From what I deduce the premium memberships are now called "core" and more expensive.
I don't understand the issue though?
This is a business and if you want certain features, you pay for it. Prices increase. The end.

Don't get me wrong - I am not a fan of change... (like that logo) but this is a service... it has a service provider... who deserves to be compensated for their innovative platform. Many have tried to follow in the dA footsteps and disappeared into obscurity.
 
The biggest mistake dA made was trying to incorporate its users into the decision making.
PEOPLE ARE INHERENTLY SELFISH.
Every time something comes along that could possibly inconvenience them, it is war.

I too would like to make changes to the site but this is NOT my toy.
Honestly, if this place was mine, I would have shut it down just so I don't have to deal with the childish haters.

You can't reason logic into people.
You will only sour your own soul.

Insert profoundly poetic concept here.







:iconbluerose1plz::iconbluerose2plz::iconbluerose3plz::iconrose1plz::iconbluerose4plz::iconbluerose5plz::iconbluerose6plz:



Nope - I really have nothing new to report. I figured I'd just throw a pebble in the well to hear it splash.
Hope everyone is off to a splendid art-filled weekend.





:iconbluerose1plz::iconbluerose2plz::iconbluerose3plz::iconrose1plz::iconbluerose4plz::iconbluerose5plz::iconbluerose6plz:





TA!

Artist Under Construction.







:iconbluerose1plz::iconbluerose2plz::iconbluerose3plz::iconrose1plz::iconbluerose4plz::iconbluerose5plz::iconbluerose6plz:

Firstly, I would just like to say that I never left.

I know I haven't posted, commented or thanked anyone in a long time but I am here. Everyday I fav your art, either here or on my other profile. THAT is what I love most about dA. I find inspiration and motivation in seeing the amazing things pouring from another person's imagination.
That being said...I am having something of an "artist-midlife-crisis".

The reason I have not posted anything lately is because it all feels like it doesn't belong to me. Mostly because I haven't done a piece of art for myself all year. I am officially a commercial artist and because I can do many styles I don't even work in media I necessarily prefer.
 
I don't mind this, I still love doing all kinds of art.
BUT
Who am I?

Silly question right?

Either way, I don't feel like posting anything to this profile until I figured out where my personal work is going.

ALSO
I am merging my digital Dreamael and traditional (this profile) because the maintenance is just not helping my time crisis.



THIS PROFILE IS ABOUT TO UNDERGO SOME MASSIVE CHANGES

OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS:

I will be archiving some things I've outgrown and I will load some collages to my scraps  of  my experiments.

Lastly, I'm going to reorganize my dA portfolio to have all my commercial work so you will be able to see my bookcovers etc there.



:iconbluerose1plz::iconbluerose2plz::iconbluerose3plz::iconrose1plz::iconbluerose4plz::iconbluerose5plz::iconbluerose6plz:




PS. If I'm not here I'm on my other profile Dreamael!


Hopefully soon I will be able to be fully active again :)

TA HOMIES!

Just a little whisper in the dark...

LONG TIME, NO WRITE

Now, I don't want anyone to think that I have abandoned dA or I'm not around anymore. I'm about to let my premium membership expire and will renew it when I get paid again (hopefully soon). I know I've fallen behind on mail and thank yous again :ashamed: Sorry. I really have very little time to myself this year.
Thank you to all my new watchers!!!
I'm really glad you like my art. I will try and post some of my latest work soon :)

NOW THAT I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION


...I was going to call this journal "Loki is ugly" but feared the hate-mail...


THE AGENDA
(Feel free to skip to the part that interests you)
:bulletblue: Result of the of the "Faking" nonsense.
:bulletblue: Watchers Workshop
:bulletblue: General blah-blah.

:iconbluerose1plz::iconbluerose2plz::iconbluerose3plz::iconrose1plz::iconbluerose4plz::iconbluerose5plz::iconbluerose6plz:
Someone called me a fake.

Last week Thursday Shadowness shared my Jessica Alba drawing on their Facebook page - which I found by pure fluke while I was killing time at work. Some genius then commented saying it's faked and made one of those infamous overlay gifs.
gickr.com/results4/anim_5dfa80…
The gif clearly proves the drawing is real (and that I was lazy with the hair) but my troll couldn't figure that out... FAIL. What pissed me off is that these days you're not "innocent until proven guilty", you're guilty whether you can prove your innocence or not. Fortunately, in my case, the argument was over almost instantly. For that I would like to thank all those who commented on the pic: Christina, Maria, Meks, Becky, Aty and my husband.

...THE RESULT: so now you all look like you're talking to yourselves :rofl: because the dude removed his comment.
BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE:
He also inboxed me an apology.
The kid really deserves a cookie for that though. Not many people can admit they are wrong and even less would apologize. It does show a massive amount of character.
The comments are still on my Shadowness but whatever I'm over it.

A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU TO EVERYONE THAT COMMENTED ON MY POLL TO  MAKE ME FEEL BETTER. It really did and I appreciate it. Still have some replies to do but I'll get there.

:iconbluerose1plz::iconbluerose2plz::iconbluerose3plz::iconrose1plz::iconbluerose4plz::iconbluerose5plz::iconbluerose6plz:
Watcher's Workshop!


Here are the details for you to be part of my drawing tutorial. I've tried to come up with a way to practically teach how to improve your drawing skill by using one of your own drawings.

GUIDELINES:

:bulletgreen: This (the first tutorial) will be for graphite pencils.
:bulletgreen: It will be open to all my watchers.
:bulletgreen: You (my watchers) will draw a piece to the best of your ability at this time.
:bulletgreen: Comment on this journal and give me the link to your drawing and the link to your reference (you can also load your reference to your scraps)
:bulletgreen: You can draw absolutely anything you want as long as you provide me with the reference.
:bulletgreen: You may use an existing drawing (it doesn't have to be new)
:bulletgreen: ONE drawing per watcher please.
:bulletgreen: I will feature all the drawings in my journal.
:bulletgreen: I will choose one at the end of May.

:bulletgreen: Then I will do a tutorial on that piece by drawing over a printout of it to show you how I do it.
...and then hopefully everyone will see it's not magic!

Blah-blah-blah


Sooo I have a cold or flu something, something. Totally not impressed since I want to cosplay this Saturday at Free Comicbook Day. I'm going as Daenerys... if nothing else it'll be good for a laugh. :laughing: I'll post pics.

I am busy working on a drawing but I have so much other nonsense taking up my time that I haven't had the time to finish it and next week ain't lookin' good either. Bummer.

I had more I wanted to say but I need to get back in bed :sneeze::sick::cough:





Catch you later!!!
