That's very helpful!

If you're using Windows Messenger, find its menu. Click Tools. Hit Options. Look up 'Sign In' from there and on the 4th option down from that list, deselect 'Show Windows Live Today after I sign in to Messenger'. Instantly you will sigh relief as you'll no longer feel the inconsolable urge to hunt down whoever is responsible for the news headlines there these past few weeks!

Seriously though, utter garbage. I used to rely on that service for good news in the past, but when they deem talking about Gaga's craptastic new shoes and which celeb is fucking who more important than THE EARTHQUAKE AT HAITI ... yeah.

So the quesiton is why has it been reduced to the level of an ignorant, superficial women's magazine ... in hell?

Other than that, been avoiding certain things of late-- especially art. Won't give details, but what it really all comes down to is something is making me bitter towards it. So instead I've been practicing tennis every so often, and playing Medieval II a fair bit. Controlling the medieval world as the French can be quite relaxing...


<=================================================================▫◊────○

Hope the new years celebrations were a splendid time for all. Haven't really got anything new to report on, so I'm treating this journal partly as a place to get some thoughts down... among other things. You'll know of them when my brain reactivates. XD

The latest poll's results have been interesting. It seems, judging by the two main ones, you folk are equally divided between seeing sci fi and fantasy work. (And the votes for the naked boobies choice just doesn't count. XD) So I'll try not to neglect either theme this year, and I'll even try to draw a bit of fanart this year as well. No, don't expect characters that have received enough mindless attention to make my eyes twitch. I'm talking about those who honestly need some kind of appreciation. Not these emo sparkly vampires, ninjas and whatnot. Unless we're speaking of the original Ninja Scroll's cast. Then by all means...


Having a new comp opens up a lot more possibilities to me with art. Yet it may take me a while to get used to the kind of freedom it gives; I've become so used to drawing things at small scales, so drawing bigger things won't just happen overnight. Which is why I'm going to try to start off first with figuring my last year's notion of creating a series of bookmarks I'll release to the public in my local town's bookstore. (HOPEFULLY!) They'll be at resolutions I'll feel a little more at home with...


Hmm... that's all for now off the top of my mind anyway. So time for some features!

Devious Info

  • Current Residence: Still unfortunately in a poorly governed, somewhat dictatorial 'ALP' Queensland ...
  • Favourite movie: Hercules Returns, Fifth Element, Trading Places, Willow, The Goonies, Dark City, Wall-E, Gattaca...
  • Favourite band or musician: Bear McCreary, Yoko Kanno, Harry Gregson-Williams, Jeremy Soule, Billy Joel, etc.
  • Favourite style of art: A blend between Sci-Fi and Fantasy, and more on the realism side of things...
  • Operating System: Windows 7! Ha! So I managed to resist flirting with that evil, vexing harlot that is Vista!
  • Favourite game: Skies of Arcadia, Valkyria Chronicles and Gunstar Heroes all deserve honourable mention.
  • Favourite gaming platform: Sadly, the most underrated gaming platform of all time: The Sega Dreamcast.
  • Favourite cartoon character: Hard choice... but at least anime wise, I'll say Mullin Shetland from Last Exile.
  • Personal Quote: Creating something only becomes pointless when you no longer learn or feel anything for it.
  • Tools of the Trade: CS4 and a lowly Wacom Graphire4 6x8 tablet.... Yet I have a better comp now! Huzzah!

Kudos! Keep up the good work. It takes a lot of talent to create your own world from scrap.

Hello,
your fantasy deviations are really amazing.

May I use your pictures (expecially Eilistraee one) as an illustration for my RPG session (story) at polish PBF (play by forum) RPG forum: lastinn info ([link])?

Your work will link back directly to dA, not altered or cut. I would also put credits below it. LastInn is non profit fansite.
Here is example of art use from dA: [link] As you can see, picture is linked from dA and copyrighted.

Best regards,
Sayane
