Yay, some of the computer parts have arrived! Probably about two, three more weeks until I get a working computer, though.

I apologize for up and disappearing. The motherboard on the computer I use is dying. Specifically the capacitors. They've burst, and are leaking capacitor fluidies all over... it. Because of that, it barely functions, and has recently crashed, corrupting my internet browser. So, like, no internet for me for all this time. So I, uh, won't be on too much until I get a new motherboard and new Windows... CD thing.

The winner of the Kiriban turns out to be no other then my younger brother. That tricky little bugger, I kept seeing him get on and refresh constantly.

After a long break I'm starting to get back into the swing of things, I'm posting my first art
pieces of the new year. I plan to be submitting something each week. I will be working hard at making lots of art, and I need to make myself do more fanart as well as get back to some original projects. Most of which I have been neglecting for years. And list more art on eBay too. I also entered 's Naruto villains contest and I think I will be doing another collaboration with . I have to get back to him on that... I only have a few minutes so I'll be sending you a note tomorrow! Eek, I have 600 deviations, messages and notes to go through...

Oh, also -- on Monday -- some lady decided to get a little tipsy with her 10 year old daughter in the car, smashed into a telephone pole and knocked it down, leaving myself and at least 500 other people without power from about 4:00pm to 1:00am. funfun! On the good side, both her and her daughter were okay.

Hello, I've been thinking for a while now, well really ever since I hit 600 views, that I might do one of those Kiriban things ([link]) So the person that hits 1111 views, take a screenshot and send it to me with a request of what you'd like me to draw. A few rules though, I will not draw/paint the 1111th viewer porn or the like, and if the person's under 18, I won't do any nudes or anything violent, I just wouldn't feel comfortable. And since I will undoubtedly be going out of my comfort zone I will be taking my time with the piece. Other than that anything goes, fanart of you favorite character, art of an OC of yours, a portrait of your favorite dog breed or whatever. And if the 1111th person does not claim their prize, the next closest number visitor will get the picture.

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas! And Happy Holidays to everyone else!

I'm posting a few of my festive pieces, and I'll have a few more to post tomorrow.
