Deviation Actions
By now I'm starting to question my deviantART fan base a bit, mostly due to the stats of my recent Keisha pic. I very much drew something that not only fit my mold for want I want to be known for, but also tried to combine a girl that looked very much like your typical asian schoolgirl, made her smooth and attractive without revealing too much of her skin, left her legs 100% open (which is how she's been since 2009), and gave her lots of appealing colors, and even after two days of finishing it, it's still only at under 100 views at the time I'm typing this. And it was supposed to be my big return to the art-scene after I entered a hiatus after the Anizawa pic due to artist's block, and if this is the number of people that at least wanted me back out of the 600+ watchers I have, I really must know, what do you all want me to draw? I've seen some art of people I follow and within a much less amount of time, they already have 200+ views.
I already mentioned I cannot do a comic as something like that would take me ages, especially with all the other crap in my life including sprite-ripping, providing resources for Mari0, contributing to a mod for Mega Man 8-Bit Deathmatch, and enjoying my video game music while thinking of ideas for games would easily backtrack me. I don't want to do excess fan service and boob art up the rum because that's not what I want to be known for. I want to be known for a good PG13 series of lovable and imaginative characters all in a fantasy universe where anything goes. If you want a character for the sole purpose of being attractive and with the large boobs/butt to go with it, you have Feceina, but I don't draw her all the time because I want to avoid turning off my watchers. I want to be known as an author, much like Eiichiro Oda or Tite Kudo, not your typical fetishist. And I dare not go the route of Queen's Blade and combine the two to extreme lengths.
Please, I must know; every one of my watchers, come out and list off what you expect from watching me.
SJB: Twelve Years Later
Boy, time does fly when you go on hiatus from art, huh? Anyways hello people of DeviantART. I wouldn't have ever imagined myself in this position but here we are. I've been using this site since 2009 and two site re-designs later many of my friends and artists that I've supported from the first few years of being on this site have either vanished into radio silence, relocated to other sites, or moved onto other, better things (or so I hope). It's honestly saddening seeing this place as a shell of its former self because the site's higher ups don't believe in "If it ain't broke, don't fix it", or because they lost interest in making art. And I'll admit I'm one of those people. While there were some years where I was more generally active (Pre-2013, 2014, and 2017), other years were either posts of minor projects or WIP's and nothing really substantial. I think the whole trying to build internet cred through DeviantArt and having most of your motivation fueled by said cred, along with
Developing More Characters
Hey there. Since I got the thought of getting more characters from my endless selection of ideas developed I decided to update the character design inspiration document some more: Yup, I had to give this a bit of an overhaul since an attempt to reach out onto Twitter in the form of a tweet ended up going completely south when it attracted what felt like the wrong audience for the job. Thus I added some more details to make it more clear on what kind of content I'm looking for in character designs, art style and all. Hopefully it doesn't come off as too mean-spirited, I don't mean to brush aside so many artists but for new designs made from scratch using provided references I'd rather them closely replicate sort of what I can make, give or take a few.
A year later
Well it's 2021 and I'm still away from this site doing other things for the most part. You may recall if you've been to some of my other sites including my blog that I had a major hard drive failure on my Mac in September 2020. It completely wiped all my WIP's and it took me six months to get a replacement computer as well as a few more months to get some of the programs I commonly used. Currently the priority still lies in my Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart racers and many of them have a long ways to go so I don't feel "ready" to go back to doing standard art just yet, and even then the pandemic has been a huge de-motivator. That said I still want to start on something later in the year and my mind has been tossed between two different groups of characters since I never did any modern art of anyone in either group. There's also a few other characters I've had on the mind and wouldn't mind drawing "just for fun" even if they don't lack the highly detailed and fleshed out backstories or
Time to try and boost that roster count.
Yeah it's that time of the year again. Got some cash on hand, going to see if anyone on the internet is interested in working with me and my ideas.
