Yeppers, for those that still pay attention to my DA site, I'm around, just haven't posted much since Ifrit cause I've just started working at Montana's and last week and this week I've been/am volunteering for 100% Martial Arts at their kids camp dealy. But! I shall get something cooking soon. I have a night off Tuesday, so that sounds feasible... Yess...

Anyways, not too much else new aside from the job from Montana's and the prospect of actually earning money! Hurrah tips! And from there money enough to go to Vancouver! Yay moving!

So, short post today. Let me hear from ya'll! Also, if anyone wants me to draw stuff for them, ask! I like gifts, they give me ideas, especially fan art related ones. Also, I need to get some Samus art done... Metroid Prime was bad ass. Oh! Also got Galactic Civilizations II, and it's freakin' wicked. If anyone has it, let's game on, yo'!

*EDIT* Just to prove I've been doin' something, I uploaded a scrap that was going nowhere. There, Mike! Are you happy!? ARE YOU APPEASED!?!?

Now I shall go and try and finish something I like... Bleh... Stupid Shiva...

Well, I've been a bit active again since coming home from vacation. The girlfriend went to visit her mom in Kingston, then to visit my dad in Strathroy where we also hit up Stratford and saw Shakespeare's Julius Caesar and though it was no Rome, it was still super fantabulous. Great scene work, the play's Brutus was great, and all in all, the modernization-esque aspects they applied worked out rather nicely with the except of one odd scene that they used a projection screen to show the overhead view of them walking across a map and really only served the purpose of "Hey look at what we can do! It's technology!" Otherwise, it was great.

After getting back from that drive, we were home for a day then jetted out to Vancouver for four days the next and let me tell you it's a wonderful city and I can't wait to move there in a year's time. It's gorgeous, it's active, and I'll be able to keep getting fitter and fitter with no need of a car! I'm super psyched. Plus, I just got a job at Montana's so now I can pack back some tip money to pay off debts and get the eff outta' Dodge. Or Ottawa, as it were.

On that note, I'm pretty much graduated. Hurrah for a soon to be degree in theatre! Yet another reason why I want to head to Vancouver - better film and television opportunities there rather than in Ottawa. Figure if I want a fighting chance, best go where everyone's fighting, no?

Recently I read Ken Follett's Pillars of the Earth, finished it today, actually, and it's a great book. Anyone looking for something to read? I recommend you pick this one up. I'm going to give myself a break before moving to the 200 years later sequel and finally read Dune now.

Erm... Not too much else, I guess. Just been getting some more artin' done yet again. I'm performing some singin' and dancin' stuff on the 29th and on Canada Day in front of several hundred folks, so that'll be fun. It's also been keeping me active along with the biking to my crap job at Opinion Search (which shall soon be little to no more!) and kick boxing, so that's cool too!

Now I'm off to do more giant fighting robot artwork. Cheers, kiddos!

Yes, indeed! I've done some stuff! Not much, but it's something. I've a few other fun pieces I need to find time to edit/colour, so, do or don't look forward to thems!

Aside from that, not much else exciting in life. I've read some awesome stuff that everyone really should check out, though:
David Petersen's Mouse Guard
Flight Volume 5
Mark Millar's Wanted
Mariko and Jillian Tamaki's Skim
Jeff Smith's Bone (Yes, all of it, NOW!)
Steven Erikson's Toll the Hounds (Can't wait for the next one!!!)

Now get out there and read!

Also, after owning the game for, what, four or five years? I finally beat Diablo II and its expansion. Woo. Hardcore, here I may come! I'm also close to finishing off FFIX, which again, I've owned for ages. Heh, and I finally put an end to my traipsing about in FFXII which I was up to 150something hours on... *cough* And hey, is anyone else psyched that a) Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen is on the Virtual Console!? And b) the DSi hits us soon?! Woo!

Finally, does anyone else out there still smash brothers of the brawl persuasion or Mario Kart it up on their Wiis? Lez friend code it up!

Hey folks, haven't made a post on anything of late. I've been damned busy between two jobs and usually five rehearsals a night for FAME: The Musical. But, one job's soon done, and because of the show I have to start looking for a new one since Cora's (my other job) can't keep me on. So, woo hoo for job hunting! Bleh...

Aside from working too damn much, I've been playing plenty of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess, and recently re-addicted myself to Spore. Also, my friend and I have finally gotten down to some serious work on making music. We've begun to work on our first game cover from Earthbound. We're hoping to make our stuff submission worthy for OC Remixes, so here's hoping. It's sounding pretty good, so one way or another, I'll get a link up to our stuff once we get it done and online so you get give us feedback and the like!

Um, so, I've discovered that kittens are a pain in the ass when doing up teh artwerx. They thing tablet pens are fun to play with, along with the cursor moving about the screen... Grrargh...

Until next time!

... as my good buddy would say. It's been over two years since I did anything over here, and I really want to apologize to all my friends and likely past watchers for, well, vanishing.

Moving back into my mother's two years ago, while less expensive, through me into a large, non-creative rut that I found difficult to master. I doodled and whatnot in classes and would big ideas, then come home and lack the energy to follow through. This, coupled with the fact that I was working lots, and often late, which is another energy sapper when the day's said and done.

At any rate, in May I moved out into a now lovely two-bedroom apartment with my girlfriend Christa, and now two adorable, if shit-headed, kittens named Chihiro and Pianissimo. Since moving, I've found myself feeling that desire to create and actually follow through, hence why I got into finally finishing the Link fanart that sat on the dusty shelves of my laptop for far too long.

Anyways, if anyone's still out there and paying attention, I appreciate it, and you can definitely expect more from me. Cheers, folks. I look forward to hearing from you all again.

On another note... WHAT THE FUCK!? As IF I have over 5,000 deviations to sift through! I hate all you proactive bastards, while admiring your skill and desire all the same! *shakes fist*
