I haven't had a scanner in ages.  That's just an excuse, but it's part of why I haven't posted anything here in years.  I'm trying to get back in the habit, and if I do, I'll start posting again.

I have 2,546 deviations to sift through in my in box.  I'm sure there was more at one point and dA just takes them out or the artist moved them out of their galleries.  I've tried a few times to find an artist I used to follow's second account, but I can't remember the name of it for the life of me, and I suspect they've left dA altogether.  They used to go by the name nanagator, and were an excellent example of how someone can learn to draw amazingly with effort, intensity, force of will, and access to a handful of books on the basics.  They were also a reminder of how much of a slacker I am.

Happy New Year dA.  No resolutions from me, but I might start trying to draw and post again. 

Why do you not display pictures reliably?

The world is not all gloom and darkness.

And if you want it to be, you need your head checked.

I understand being a fan of someones work and loving to draw their characters.

But why, oh why, would you twist those characters into something they're not?

I don't know about you, but to me, completely changing someones character like that isn't fandom anymore, it's just wrong.  I hold that kinda thing sacred because I know I wouldn't want any of my characters abused as such.
