It's been 5 years since I joined deviantart with this account, as of august 30th! I remember it was `jasonvelocity who convinced me to join back when I was just getting interested in digital art. It was definitely one of the factors in my pursuing communication arts as a career, and my own style has evolved partially because of influences I've discovered on this site. I've also met a ton of friends here. All in all, it was a good move and I don't regret a thing
Also I am surprised to find I'm almost at 400k pageviews O_O I won't offer a kiriban this time because I never end up having time to do them, but I wonder if the ding will coincide with my anniversary.
Still looking for somewhere to go once I leave college.. if I continue to improve I might (miiiight) be good enough to work for WotC, but I doubt they'd hire me right now. Still I think I could probably find work at a younger company. Trying to remain optimistic about it
I can't really find a good way to work Thorns into my resume. Is it actual work or is it just the stuff of a hobby? I don't know. Also, once I'm more freed up, I'm doing serious thinking about pursuing Madland in a formal way. My style has changed a lot since starting the comic, so I'd probably have to start over again, which I wouldn't mind too much. I'm still "mad" about the story (har har chuckles) maybe more so than any I've ever written, probably because I would get to draw a lot of kids fighting each other, monsters and dinosaurs, etc.
anyway that's all the news from the home front. back to work!
Love 
sadly I don't meet many people who still play D&D.. they've moved on to flashier MMOs, which are so much less personal.
And I think that has influenced my artwork, in turn. It also always provides me with something to talk about with my older brother.
It always makes me sad to hear about people who have abandoned tabletop games for MMOs. I enjoy WoW, of course (and a few other MMOs I've sampled), but I really don't see them as a substitute for pen-and-paper games. The experience is completely different.
Aw, heck - come join our game sometime.
I was introduced to RP through WoW, actually, but eventually it had too many drawbacks and became frustrating. I moved on to play-by-post and D&D. It's such a rewarding hobby with SUCH a bad reputation for reasons I don't really understand.. I've had people tell me they think WoW is healthier than D&D! WoW, the game where people have starved to death in front of their computers!
I hope to get my future kids interested in D&D. It's a heck of a lot better than having them sit in front of the computer all day.
And haha, don't tempt me, the last campaign I was playing in died an untimely death as the result of schedule changes.. I've been DMing a solo game for my fiance but I keep wanting to jump in and fight!
If my wife and I ever have kids, it's my hope that they'll enjoy RPGs, too. As it is, I'm helping my best friend to get his twin sons into them, and I'll probably try and run something for my nephew and niece, too. They're a little younger than the old D&D set's suggested age (the box says 'Ages 10 and up' and they're 8, but so long as you go into it with the right expectations, it still works).
I am jealous that you're running something for your fiancee, though. I've wanted to run a solo game for my wife, but I think she prefers to play with a group rather than one-on-one. I guess I should be thankful that she enjoys playing at all!
D:<<<<<<
Here's to hoping we'll both end up working for WotC someday. It's always been a very nerdy dream of mine to illustrate Magic cards.
(nope, no selfish reasoning heeere...
