pippki

Since coming to college, I've wanted to be able to share my dA art with the people I've met, but some of the things in my gallery are rather disturbing, and some just plain suck. I COULD have gone through my pippki gallery, deleting what I didn't like, but that seems idiotic. It's not that I don't like some of the stuff, it's that I don't want to frighten away my new friends XD. SO I MADE A NEW DA ACCOUNT TODAY!

All new artwork will go there. I might repost maybe four or five things TOPS from the pippki gallery. OTHERWISE, look there for whatever fantastic new crap my wandering pencil may scribble. <3

Murry Crimmus. I made a picture, and went through my gallery clearing out stuff that should've been scrapped long ago. And now I'm way too tired, so I sleep.

Just give me fcking twenties.


So dA changed since last I slid off its surface, a change I was not very receptive to at seven in the morning. Many days later, I've completely warmed up to this stylistic revolution and embrace it wholeheartedly. But I definitely wasn't too thrilled at the onset.

I've gone through my devwatch box, deleting things wholesale, managing to cull the unwieldy number down to a trim 44. I didn't mean to leave dA, it just sort of happened in a vague sort of way. Not having a working scanner didn't help things.

As far as my art goes, I'm looking to tweak my style. Looking back through old sketchbooks, the few pieces I still like are the things that in no way resembled my style at the time. Unfortunately, I'm not in an art-making mood right now. I'm more in a writing-and-cleaning kind of mood. I also go to college in . . .  [counts on fingers] . . . ten days. So making a new art style isn't on the top of my priority list. Packing, however, is. I have a gang of boxy black suitcases ringing my room, bulging with my posessions. I have way too much crap.

And having too much crap, I'm not going to be taking my Prismacolor markers or pencils with me. At the very least, not at first. So any art I make will have to be made with crayons, watercolors, and standard writing utensils. Basically, this is me officially promising no art for an unspecified period of time. What happens, happens. And if what happens is good art, and if my scanner works once it's unioned with my awaiting laptop, then it's goin' here.

Also, I bought one of the three biggest dictionaries I've ever seen for a mere $15. This is no mere dictionary. It is a verbiage of DEATH. I love it.

So I decided, ultimately, that all the effort it takes to favorite a picture is the click of a button, ergo all I will reciprocate is the click of a button, by looking at the favoriter's main page and that's it. Back in the days before I read The Fountainhead, and even to an extent before Good Omens, back when I wanted lots of watchers and pageviews and comments and rainbows, it made sense to thank each favoriter because it established a connection, and perhaps then they would look more at my gallery and watch me. Buuuuuut now I don't care about that. I draw for me, for my own amusement, and by association, the amusement of my friends. And then I put it here, for anyone else to enjoy if they want. And if they don't, I don't care either way. This isn't my career, it's my hobby. So, favoriters are no longer thanked. Watchers are. That's a commitment, watching someone, so it gets a thank you. And comments get replies . . . eventually. Faboo.

So today, I chilled with Aeris9919 and Arricia-sama. We got at least five big collabs done, but they're all with Alicia right now, so you'll have to wait till she scans them so they can be submitted. Collabs turn out so awesome.

In other news, I probably won't be attempting to reinstall my printer until next weekend, as I will tonight be busy making a Mother's Day card. I'm so good!

MY GENERAL PEOPLE . . . I live once again. Granted, I smell like a bonfire right now, but that is entirely not the point.

To update those of you who aren't privy to a pulse on my social/real life, my computer died. Short stick story: I had to do a total system restore, and my computer is now where it'd be if I'd left it in the box for three years and just decided to set it up about a week ago. I have most of my important data backed up on discs, so that's not much of a problem. The problem is that I haven't yet been able to successfully reinstall my printer/scanner. So the only way I can post new artwork is via pictures taken of pictures, which is a REALLY ghetto way of going about things.

Ergo, I am now trying to clean up my message centre, which in its glut had reached about 769 items. Some of you may have noticed my cracktastic responses to old comments--that's me, cleaning out old messages. I still have 456 deviations to do something about (including at least twenty of teh dan's pieces---they will not be marked as read until I have commented properly!!! >< ) and 32 M. I'm wondering, at this point, if I should really go to people's pages and thank them for favoriting my random crap. Thanking for watches still seems good form, but should I really continue my arcane and time-consuming practice of thanking all favoriters? Your thoughts, s'il vous plait.



BTW, I love when people randomly favorite some of my really old crap. Makes me wonder where the hell they came from. Seriously, I don't know how so many people find me, especially when I've submitted with the frequency of something not frequent (I'm too tired to make good metaphors).  Time to pare down more deviations in my devwatch box, fellow travellers.
