This a follow-up of my last journal entry (Jan 4, 2006). I will now present deviants who would like to be recognized. I'm not a great writer, so bear with me....

1)
He is a writer for Bad Place Productions with a goal for publishing comics. Obviously he is knowlegable of comic strip writing. BadPlace has several stories in the works.

A young artist that is steadily improving. Digital coloring is her strength. Her works are cheerful and brightly colored.

9)
A cartoonist. She has great range in style and technique. Her comic strips have well-organized panels and good composition in the drawings. Her latest strips are vibrantly colored and capture movement very well.

10)
How should I describe his style?...Surreal, bizarre, colorful, chaotic, and very creative. If you are looking for someone with a unique, wild style check out his gallery.

11)
Her gallery is small right now, but so far she has created original characters drawn in "manga" style. She has written background on them, so maybe she will write a story or comic strip.

Jan 4, 2006 update

I hope you guys enjoyed the Christmas holiday and New Years. I apologize if I didn't comment lately. There is a lot of writings and pictures people have submitted at once .
Anyways, I still have a slot (I may add more slots). I was also not in the best of moods. The last day is Saturday, Jan 6th. After that, I will just feature those who are already listed.

Featured artists/writers:

Got tagged by to give random facts about myself. Joy!

1) I feel old....

2) I have a dog as a pet.

3) I am reserved in person, but I am nice to people once they get to know me.

3) I am open to different kinds of food.

4) I am left-handed, but not entirely. (left-handedness is forbidden in some cultures )

5) I drew animals extensively when I was in elementary and middle school before drawing human beings.

6) I have a penchant for not finishing my drawings right away, and take frequent and/or long breaks from them.

7) I can't stand racism and people who attack others because of their religous beliefs.

8) I have a sibling.

9) I am bad at coloring but I'm working on it

10) I believe people who complain about another's lack of skill should shut up and try to help the other person out. This is something that is plaguing dA.

**********
4 slots left for requests: [link]

This has been brought to my attention...

A deviation ended up in the popular list and the deviant got flamed for not being "deserving". Honestly, this deviant needs more practice, but so does everyone else. There is little control over popularity on dA anyways.

Even though unpleasant behavior is the reality of the internet, the way people treated her was RUDE, INCONSIDERATE, and just plain UNACCEPTABLE. I can't believe those people who call themselves artists can be so shallow. An attitude like that shows they have not matured as artists. This is a art website made for EVERBODY, NOT a f$&#ing exclusive club for the "elite". There are many who come to learn and recieve some encouragement to continue their art.

PLEASE SHOW SUPPORT TO ARTISTS AT ALL LEVELS!!!!

Enough with my ranting. I still have requests available to 4 people. [link]
