Hey there DA watchers,

I just want to tell you all that I am happy to end this year with a closing of great experiences from the bad to the good and this new decade will be something that I will be prepared for. On behalf of *FF7Online, the DarkChildx2k Team and myself, have yourselves a wonderful and happy holiday! ^_^

With much love!

Hey there DA watchers,

It's been awhile since I did a FULL journal and so I am taking time now (regardless of the little time I have) to send you all something that will assure you, I AM alive.

I have been physically out of shape, and on medication for severe pains in my upper back which is preventing me from really moving much, can't really turn my head at times and inflammation all around has prevented me to move my arms to a certain degree, which is absolutely ridiculous. Physio therapy, I still have not gone to it yet but will have to before my medication runs out.

On a DA related note I have not really been updating as much due to the fact that I have quite the crazy deadline for the comic series I am working on, and also with a CD cover for an amazing well established recording artist/producer! So most of my updates will be works you've never seen before in WIP form, and seldom. Please be patient, as the holidays roll around very fast this will be the most intense time for me and while considering I still have commissions and holiday DA stuff I am planning to get done (still) I have included the bottom sections again for what's happening!

IF YOU HAVE PREVIOUSLY PAID FOR A COMMISSION, ON A WAITING LIST FOR A COMMISSION--- Please read below!



Thanks guys

IMPORTANT NEWS

ALL COMMISSIONS THAT WERE PAID AND/OR ON WAITING LIST FOR A COMMISSION---- All commissions will be planned for completion BEFORE the end of the year!! The target goal is to have ALL commissions done before the holidays but the FINAL CUT OFF for completion is DECEMBER 31st 2009!! I will be contacting people individually in regards to their commission and will be done privately as Livestream is only optional and pending on my scheduling needs.

FOR THOSE WHO WISH TO COMMISSION ME, commissions will be closed until further notice, but again THE LIMITED EDITION COMMISSIONS and PRIVATE COMMISSIONS WILL CONTINUE to be completed as the above mentioned.
IF commissions are completed prior to the holidays I will be opening a special slot system for Holiday commissions and will be very limited!


For those who placed their commissions within the LIMITED EDITION section, please go back to the list to ensure you were added and exactly where you are in priority sequence as you will be contacted as such!
More info here----> [link]


I'd like to thank those who have commissioned me in the past and again, I am greatful beyond words for your support and patience!






LIVESTREAM will not continue until further notice. As scheduling is very tight and Livestream is quite draining to run while having other big programs open, it'll be not possible to multitask these things while being completely efficient! When there is an opportunity for leisure time, and have the resources to put together a smooth running Livestream I will make a new announcement!

THANKS FOR ALL OF YOUR SUPPORT THROUGHOUT THE lIVESTREAM SESSIONS!! I really appreciate it! Thanks to all!

EDIT*** Oct 21 09
Got my new tablet, the Wacom Intuos4......and my goodness is this thing incredible. It's so fu**ing sexy and sleek! DAAAMN, it screams sex. I am still running tests on it before I declare myself officially back in business. But so far tried to test Photoshop and it cut my time in half, I was shocked. Everything is on the tabelt itself, the buttons I would need with one click, the Touch ring and settings menu are HAWT!! and the multiple nibs are unbelieveable such a difference in feel between them on the pen. I will have to talk more about this on a Livestream session as a bit of a review for this thing. I gotta test my new Intuos4 more first. Sexy.

--------------------------
Wanna take a guess at what happened to my graphics tablet?
Yeh you remember my ridiculously cute kitten named ZerO? Yah? Well, he cut the wire severely with his teeth, and it's done for. And it's a big deal cause I pretty much going to miss my deadlines for work if I don't get it effective NOW....but of course I gotta wait til next week to get my paycheque and go do that....so I am kind of screwed. ZerO is grounded for a WHILE, at least til I replace my Wacom tablet.

RIP Wacom Graphire 4. Four years strong man and that thing brought me from my comeback to Photoshop coloring in college, to where I am today and not a single problem I ever had to deal with (other than the pen's wire malfunction). I am happy that I got as far as I did! Wacom you rock!

SO looks like I can stare at the comp, helpless to not coloring anything for a little while. I hate that...

Be back soon hopefully.


Thanks guys

I'm back and well again!! Thanks to those who supported me and checked up from time to time!! Yes, that means you & you two are awesome!

Commissions WILL resume next week! Partial bad news is that since SHADOWLAW comic series is and has been my no1 Priority right now (cause of some crazy amazing good news), I will have to do the commissions without LiveStream! BUUUUT If you STILL want and by request ONLY ask for a video recording I can make time and do the commission live but in a private room on LiveStream. Let me know what you think! Note me if you've commissioned me for the Limited Commissions!

SHADOWLAW is on FACEBOOK!!! Here is the link!---------------->[link] [link] [link] Make sure you join in cause I noticed some ShadowLaw stuff from other artists that even I didn't know about!
