So apparently its okay to trace, and its okay to trace someone elses artwork just as long as you add something to it. So someone could take your art, trace it and maye add a eye patch to your character or add a tree to your landscape and its okay lol. That just doesnt sit well with me to be honest so yeah lol, fuck that noise.

I have been on deviantart since 2003. My gallery has changed a lot over the years, hell if I left everything that was ever in there you wouldnt believe that it was all done by the same person. One thing that I have noticed about deviantart and what gets noticed around here is fan art. Drawing a video game/anime/or movie character seems get you more attention than comming up with original art. Now dont get me wrong, I have nothing against people that do fan art, hell I do it myself from time to time with the joker, deadpool or whoever. However its sad that when someone takes the time to come up with something completely orginal and it actually is making a statement....nobody seems to notice. Now this is not me complaining about comments and page views, I just think that original art she be more appreciated than say someone drawing naruto or inuyasha pictures over and over

Another thing, I really want to encourage everyone to post well thought out comments that actually critique or at least give some sort of insight as to why you like or dislike someone. This isnt directed at anyone in particular but I would rather get a comment telling me what you think may be wrong with it or why you dont like it in at least a little detail rather than someone just saying "thats some creepy shit", you know who you are lol. I guess basically what im saying is, if its not constructive...SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!!

I wont be able to submit any new art for a little while. My laptop (where I make my art) is having some issues. I hate vista and I hope whoever designed it is dead lol. all it does is crash on me and its depressing not being able to do what I do.

If anyone wants to color this for me feel free. Ive tried and tried and I just cant seem to find a color scheme that works so if anyone wants to give it a shot like you Janet lol, feel more then free.

I love it, I get to watch Roseane lol.

Anyways theres a lot of stuff to update you guys on. I got through my first year at IADT, its a design school here in michigan. Im enjoying it for the most part but every now and then doubt creeps into my mind. I begin to wonder, "am I getting what I want out of this school". For the most part I think I am but as I said sometimes not so much. Some of my friends have either been booted out or they are dropping out or they are going to the out of state schools we have. Kinda depressing to loose good friends but it happens.

Speaking of which, lately ive tried to resolve an old situation that has gone on for about 4 months I think or maybe longer. It was one of those "he said she said" things and as usual I was the scapegoat. In any event I dont hold grudges so I tried to resolve it and it was no use. Like I said I dont hold any grudges and I wish them all the luck in the world....well some of them lol.

I was seeing someone for a few months and it was nice but it didnt work out. Still friends and all that jaz so its cool, now theres a few other girls that have taken an interest in me so whatever lol. We'll just see what happens I guess.

So my friends and to whom it concerns my advice for this journal update is to have an open mind. Just because you hear something that doesn't make it the gospel, false idols will get you nowhere. Use reason and common sense in your daily life and give people the benefit of the doubt.
