After several weeks of not being able to sign into DA, one day it just allows me in. Go figure. I thought I was going to have to reload all my software ( which really needs to be done anyway) and start fresh. I dunno, but for now I have been able to log in. Sorry to all you guys who are watching me. I uploaded a massive load today from recent trips. I will upload more later as time permits but not so much at one time. Anyway,...life is like a box of chocolates. ;) I would love to put thumbnails in to show some cools works but alas, I am short on cash and still have not subscribed. So, I will link to some cool stuff for you guys to check out.

I made a digital portrait without a reference and only my Wacom and my imagination. I am learning a lot about textures and shading. Well, it's not actually the first I've done but it is the first I've done without using a pencil sketch I made beforehand. So, I am proud of it. Sarafina has come to life. I learned a lot by reading tutorials made by Linda Bergkvist aka Enayla. I know she has a gallery here somewhere but I don't have the link. Check out her stuff here... You know she's awesome. Furiae

This is my very first journal entry. What to say... well. I would like to say thank you to all the great stock providers of deviant art. You guys make it so easy for us to create new work and give inspiration where it's needed. *bows to stock artists* I have decided to start giving props to stock artists after each new work in hopes that whomever visits, will take a gander at their wonderful contributions. I would also like to give props to a new artist who I have had the pleasure of making an aquaintance. He will be showcased on most of my art with his wonderful prose. You will know him as Stephen. He is an absolute poet. Please give him y
