-TO STASH PORN?  

Aka. artworks not safe for posting to DA, but ok for sharing with a select audience?

Would that be violating DA rules? Or is it OK if you don't share the link publicly?

What do you guys thing about this tricky question?














.

Oh sheesh y'all, I just realized today that I haven't visited DA in almost a month and haven't updated in forever. *hides in shame*  


Guys! I'm terribly sorry for the super long hiatus!



My job has been getting to me more and more and it has put me under a lot of stress. I'm looking for job opportunities right now because I feel like I'm stretching myself thin and getting closer and closer to a breakdown from pure exhaustion. Some days I just want to fuck it all and quit, but with nowhere to go, that is not an option, at least not now.

As it is, I'm constantly under-slept, dizzy and weak, squinting at the screen and feeling like my brain just shuts down during random periods of the day. Mostly when I need it to work. <_< And it feels like I can't type more than a few sentences at a time, which is probably why I'm spending most of my time on Twitter... reading tweets from friends. XD''

Fandom is the only thing that keeps me alive happy, but also steals all of my remaining free time. I have no regrets over this, though. XD



As it is, my first vacation this year is coming up. I'm planning to spend it on relaxing and drawing in a stress free environment. >.> I'm taking a part in another Inception challenge right now, which lasts until the end of August, mostly doing collabs with writers. Keep an eye out for those if you're interested.

I will update DA! I'll start uploading stuff I've drawn in the time I was gone from here in the next few days/weeks. It's not much, but I don't want to spam you all at once.

Also, for some reason I don't really feel the same connection with DA as I did before... I feel like it's mostly a gallery for me now and not a community I was a part of before. I hope this feeling of disconnection goes away...



...

Ok, so I lied earlier!

I have one regret in that I've completely neglected all my other obligations, especially those to the people who commissioned me like a year ago.

I've saved enough money since then and bought my dream tablet (a Cintiq) out of my own pocket, so I've kind of lost my motivation for offering those commissions in the first place and that's the reason they were not on the top of my list of priorities. orz

I'M SO SORRY, GUYS.

I'm still doing one commission that was paid for by (it's stuck on the coloring stage), as well as my Help_Japan commission on LJ that I'm doing for charity, but I understand if all the other people who were in the queue decided to give up on me.

In any case, the queue still stands, (just on hiatus until at least the end of August), and the prices are still those we agreed upon, so if you are a saint with infinite patience and still interested in getting that commission from me, just message/note me to say that you do! (It's also totally ok if you want your request changed from the original, since so much time has passed and I know that interests change. I know. >_< )

I feel absolutely terrible for leaving you guys hanging like this! Feel free to kick me.


...

PS. Thank you for all the comments and +devwatches while I was gone. They really mean a lot to me even if I'm terrible at showing it. haha

I am completely misusing Twitter to chat to Inception-buddies all the time, and I've closed my tweets to the public, mostly because I got tired of blocking spambots (and also maybe to shamelessly talk about PORN when I should be working, but that's beside the point. )

And now I'm considering making a new Twitter account to actually post pic/fic/project updates and other useful news. Is that a good idea? Would anyone like to follow me?

I'm mostly off DA right now and I don't think I will be updating my gallery/journal (or answering comments) any time soon. I know I should be posting my finished pics at least, but I don't want to do that just because it will mean more comments I won't be able to answer... I'm sorry. I don't want to do that to my commenters. I feel guilty as it is for not replying.

I should have more time next month, so hopefully that is where any updates will take place. For now, stay tuned to Twitter and LJ. There should be a lot of Inception pic reveals next week when my i_reversebang art goes public.

Also, a warm hello to all my new watchers! I am happy to have you here and sorry for all the wank.

I feel like I should warn you (and this goes for all my watchers), if you're here for TMNT or Swat Kats art, there won't be any new pics in those fandoms, at least not this year (or maybe not ever). I'm concentrating on Inception and DC fandoms only, with a few exceptions (commissions). So I encourage you to unwatch me if you're not into them! I don't mind at all.

Anyway... that's it for today.
*waves*

EDIT/
NEW TWITTER ACCOUNT: twitter.com/Dwally_updates THIS ONE IS PUBLIC! Feel free to follow. :3

Came on here today to see what everyone's avatars were changed to this year and was sorely disappointed. It must not be April 1 in America yet. *laughs*

Anyway, a brief news update (more on LJ).

I got myself a TWITTER account! Yes, something I never thought I'd do. But there you have it.

It's actually VERY handy, because I always have so many things happening all at once, and any down time I have is spent on either drawing, or brainless browsing/watching/relaxing, (or some reading, if I'm lucky). So you see  why I can never fit writing journal entries into my day. Another reason why I don't make posts as often as I could is because I don't want to clutter people's friend lists with a million short entries. And then I don't post anything for a month or few, and people think I've dropped off the face of the Earth, when I was actually crazy busy, running all over the place.

I wish I could tell people about what I'm up to, though. (Like going on a cruise, for example. I didn't even have time to notify people I was going away. Which is a mayor fail on my part.)  So, if anyone has Twitter, feel free to follow me for all my social updates and random stuff. I'm already starting to like it.

*runs around frantically*

Ohgodohgodohgod- Is it Single Awareness Day Valentine's Day already? When, how, wasn't it Christmas just a week ago? Where has the time gone? Was there some kind of space-time disturbance I wasn't aware of? Imeanwhat? *flails*

*takes a deep breath*

Ok, ok, I'm ok. The world isn't going to end if don't post a picture for Valentine's, right? I mean, I don't even celebrate the damn thing.

Ah, who am I kidding? I wanted to draw something Batflashy for this day _{to make up for being such a terrible friend}, but I'm not sure I can manage it on time. *cries in a corner*

You have to excuse me... I'm barely coherent right now, because I slept for barely 3 hours yesterday (after drawing for 12 hours straight) and I feel like s-.

But it was all worth it. Oh yes... *cackles madly*


A challenge where artists make art that writers then claim and write a story for.
Explanation and Rules
Sign Up: Artist | Author | Beta

I found out about THIS next best thing *points up* just a few days ago and I had to join. And then I just needed to finish my art entry for it, which was due yesterday. And I made it on time! *tears of joy* ;_;

Seriously, if you're into Inception fandom then you have to keep your eyes open for this thing! There so many awesome authors and artists* that signed up for this challenge that the world will probably implode by April 10th because it won't be able to handle the sheer awesomeness of what comes out of this unholy union of art and fic. I'm already salivating at the mere thought of it.
_{*To clear up any confusion, I am not associated with these mentioned awesome people in any way. I just happen to be there because of my greedy little heart that was lured in by the shiny 'Fic for Art' sign. And you know.. fics are my drugs. :]}

Anyway...
What I wanted to add was:
Thank you for all the recent watches, favs and comments! Knowing that someone appreciates my art makes my heart sing. <3

I'm also very very grateful for the support and love my friends give me all the time, so let me say it again:

Thank you! I wouldn't be where I am now without you. *hugs everyone* February 14th is called Friends' Day here, and this is a holiday that I don't mind celebrating!
