I contacted all the owners of the stock I used for this piece:

...and earned their permission to turn it into a print!

It's hard to say when I'll get a chance to draw some more. I think it really depends on if I get the job I just recently interviewed for (same company, different position). If not, oy... I don't know. My current job is very stressful.

Time will tell.

To those who I owe drawings to: I haven't forgotten you. I want your stuff to be good, which it won't be if I attempt it while I've been so stressed. Please bear with me... I will get them done, I promise.

That's me!

Not that I was really active before, but I'm going to be less so now... Just letting ya'll know.

All righty! So it's true, I've been bitten (HARD) by the photomanipulation bug and now, in lieu of eating, sleeping, and bathing, it's all I do. I've looked at more tutorials in the last week and a half than I think I ever have in my life. I want to learn all I can and get better and I don't even know WHY. It's got my creative juices flowing again (god, I hate that saying.. ), so I guess that probably has something to do with it. I've never had so much fun making art.

Now I'm gonna pimp some communities.

:
Go look! It's a gallery of photomanipulations! Each member puts up the piece they think is their personal best. There are some really wicked works that are just so unbelievably awesome and, in my opinion, inspiring. The kinda things that make you wanna strive to be better! I think they occasionally have contests, too.

:
This community will be my new crack. XD They have weekly contests for beginners, intermediates, and those who are advanced. I recommend checking it out if you ever feel like trying your hand at photomanipulation!

Pageview Contest

That's right, I felt like holding another pageview contest! This time, the 66,666th viewer will get a drawing of anything they want, unless otherwise noted.

Guidelines
[] The 66,666th person has to take a screen grab as proof and send it to me.
[] If you win, the requested picture can't contain more than two characters.

You know, those are the only rules I have, heh. I am teh lame.
