holy balls , been foreva since i've been somewhat active xD, as well as posting a journal! *ahem* well i'll fill you all in on what i've been up to

first i'll man up and say what happened with SeventhSky and stuff. its not complicated or anything , simple answer. I felt bogged down , and even though for the past yrs i did about everything myself , and i didnt mind that either , i wasnt feeling the same vibe or rush i originally felt. plus i lost my artistic vibe as well , and since i was managing an artgroup , i didnt have the feel to do anything art related. i basically didnt have the feel to create or anything like that.

Most of you might know what i mean by a certain feeling to want to create and delve into art. its a certain "want". i basically lost that and wanted to indulge myself in other things.

my apologies to anyone i may have offended.

but hey , now im back into the thick of it. I'm a senior now in high school ( imagine that! ) , and im in an AP Studio Class. so basically i have to think about art everyday. Finally now were working on some major projects and im really trying to do my best. we have 1-2 projects do a week , and group critiques , so it'll be alot of fun. i'll try and get around to posting anything worth mentioning on my DA ( art that is ).

btw if any of you need some critique or thoughts/ideas , send me a note and i'll help you out. i really like brainstorming ideas , i think im pretty good at that. plus i think i have a good eye and artistic sense ( almost been on DA for 4 years so , i think im valid in saying this ) , so i could give you some helpful critique.

hope you all have been doing well! i've been doing great . continue making great art everyone!

well, been ahwile i guess xD. sorry i havent posted a new journal in ahwile. i've been on seventhsky mostly. so now you all know that im still around and havent stopped my art . made 2 renders recently, one i did yesterday turned out pretty good, really feelin the material on this one. although, i'm gonna try and kick it in gear and make art for a artshow i'm gonna enter through my high school, gonna see how many pieces i can get doen and printed for the show . hope i do good on that hehe. i may or may not post the pieces i use for it here on DA, i may wait till its over.

other than that, been havin good fun with EVE. hangin out with friends , lots of lulz being had . school has gotten better , since its second semester now . math class doesnt suck so much ^_^/.

i've also started a new MMO called Runes of Magic. its very similar to WoW ( at least from the way it looks) but really it's not that bad of a game. still open beta but it'll release in like a month or so, and i'm enjoying it so far if you ever decide to try it out, my in-game characters name is Biffurcation ^^.

hmm, yeah, not a whole let else goin on. i did make a new myspace page, [link] , i've been making music and have done 4 songs so far and thought it was high time to make a new myspace . check me out, add me to your friends, whatever ^^/. if i can get my friend to come with me to my dads this weekend i may try and make a new song ;D, tho i tend to spend more time on it nowadays, couple hours on week, a couple the next, and so on. can only do so much musical magic in a period of time .

thanks for all your views, comments, favs. i'm just about at 10,000 pageviews! wooot. thanks a bunch guys .

woo its 2009. probably gonna be a shitty year with the economy but hey xP, whatever .

got some new renders up i did last week. if i have time i might make another. if anyone wants to use them for a collab, dont forget to tell me about it some way and say who you got the render from

been reading alot of manga nnd watching anime lately. finished the akira manga today, was really good. also finished the Last Exile anime, which had a nice happy ending. just downloaded the Ghost in the shell manga, which for being a big GITS fan that i am i've never seen the manga before, and it's actually kinda funny xD. Been playing my new DS alot too! got the remake of Final Fantasy 4 which is and AWESOME game. i also got the FFTA2 , final fantasy tactics advance 2, which is holding out pretty well so far.

bleh school will be here again soon xD. gonna suck , not cuzz of midterm assesments, but math class is just such a burden. it really blows and i just cant wait for this year to be over. sadly junior year has been the best, my chem teacher is awesome, same teacher i had for biology too haha, english isnt too bad, philosophy is doing good xP. but yeah i cant wait for the summer too, and spring first cuzz imma do Track and field hehe, need to shave off a few pounds lol! so that'll be dandy.

Seventhsky has released their 6th artpack, Vision! i really enjoyed putting it together and it's one of my favorites thus far in SeventhSky. Lotta great works in their, and the most i've probably submitted in any pack xD ( i also had 2 audio submissions aswell.

check it out here! [link] [link] [link] [link]
i've uploaded the 2 artworks i submitted for Vision. Some of my best , i'd say. I really like em both, so check em out

also, took a look at my music page on Myspace. [link]
i finally am able to try out my "Eraserkoor" style. the combination of industrial/ambience with Hardcore/Gabber. so far I've done 3 songs of that style and I'm learning quick. the 2 other songs you'll see there are ones i did a year ago or so, and i think they're really cool.

But yeah, hoping i can get windows 64 bit soon as possible, as i've created 2 amazing renders and i can't render them :\. if i can get my hands on a copy of 64 bit windows I'll be able to use all 4GB of my RAM, which would allow me to make more hardcore renders than i do now.

also, if anyone likes Final Fantasy turn-based style games, try out Atlantica Online. I downloaded it and tried it out for the sake of doing so, and me and friend of mine really like it. For a free game, it has alot of content.

but yeah , lots goin on with me in school and etc. this spring there's going to be a arts contest here in Ohio, and I'm going to submit for that. Cant wait for it, as i hope i can do well ( since I'm the only person in my entire school who does my kind of art, and one of the digital arts teachers really likes my stuff). So in spring or whenever I'll make sure i update you all about that.

thanks a bunch to everyone watching me and those who have commented on my works, given me favs, and to my online art friends!

i've had alot of my time sucked up by school work, havent really done much with renders either. Although ahwile back i made an amazing render but sadly my computer doesnt have enough RAM to render it :\. kinda havent done much after that, always pisses me off when i make something awesome but cant render it >.<;

but anyway. i got Fallout 3 and i've been playing it alot xP. its very addicting, a great game! very indepth dungeons and the graphics are very nice. also ,very gore filled action blowing arms and legs off mutants and blowing bodies apart and shooting missles and mini-nukes! the storyline is also very good too.

ah but yes, next friday is the deadline for my artgroup SeventhSky's Vision artpack, the 6th artpack from the SVS group. gotta find some time to finish a piece i started back a cpl weeks ago, so i'll have 2 pieces in the pack myself . But i think it'll be great!
