So... um, ya update??

Stuff is good. I'm in my third year at college pursuing a degree in Arts & Technology. I'm pretty comfortable with my "style" now and am finding it to be as flexible as I need it. I keep a sketchbook on my almost at all times and it keeps me constantly drawing.

That's about it. Life's good. Art's improving. Work's work. School's school.

lol

Later.

I'm tired of drawing what I draw. For a while now, I've been practicing in secret to be able to switch myself over and AWAY from Japanese influence in my art. I just want to move into American comics style, which is proving to be one of the most difficult things I've ever done.

Now I'm not saying I'm done drawing anime stuff, I just want to do something else for a while. All the anime I'm interested in anymore I've seen a few times over already and I just don't have the patience to get into any new anime series. I'm a DC comics man now.

Up soon should be a few character designs commissioned for a friend's storyline thing, and then I'm going to try some DC comics related submissions.

Of course, all this AFTER I finish this bout of artist's block.

Some of you may have noticed that I was recently banned. I clear matters up with deviantART and have regained control of my account and all my works.

First of all, thank you deviantART for the swift and timely restoration of my account. The lengthiest portion of this process was of my laziness to file a report.

The reason that I'm posting this as a journal is that I was being accused of plagarism on my gifs that I post here. Everything that I post here is 100% done by me.
Such an error is understandable though as my gifs can be found elsewhere on the internet. When I come across a website that is using my art without credit given to me, I contact the webmaster and try to straighten things out. For instance, NarutoCentral.com has my personal permission to display my Naruto gifs (both my new and old ones). However, when I first granted them this permission they linked to my original site [link] , instead of my later site [link] , while I'd really rather have them link to my deviantART. I should probably talk to them about this soon.

However, please, if you want to use my gifs on your website or for a fangame FEEL FREE TO as long as credit is given and a link is provided back to my deviantART profile. I'd really rather like to avoid plagarism claims against me in the future.

Thank you for reading, and thank you for visiting.

I'll be having one more work of art coming before the end of this year as my annual Christmas piece. Given some of my more recent entries to deviantart, you should be able to guess at the theme.

Also, when putting in the keywords for a submission, do you put commas between the words, or just regular ol' spaces. If you're supposed to put in spaces, then I've been doing it wrong my entire time here.

Adios y Feliz Navidad!
