This is the place where you can personalize your profile!
But, how?
By moving, adding and personalizing modules.
You can drag and and drop to rearrange.
You can edit modules to customize them.
The left side has modules you can add!
Some modules you can only access when you get a subscription.
Some modules have options that are only available when you get a subscription.
We've split the page into zones!
Certain modules can only be added to certain zones.
"Why," you ask? Because we want profile pages to have freedom of customization, but also to have some consistency. This way, when anyone visits a deviant, they know they can always find the art in the top left, and personal info in the top right.
Don't forget, restraints can bring out the creativity in you!
Now go forth and astound us all with your devious profiles!

dear 2009, stop being so crazy.
thanks.
Just a small update here.
Moved into a small house (renting with a couple roomates) , which has absorbed a lot of my time of late and left me little to draw with.
I am moved now, and working, but the cable internet hasn't been hooked up yet and wont be by our provider until this Saturday, harumph. Good thing our neighbor is so friendly.
Hopefully there will be more art to see come saturday, till then! `^`;
Hi there. C: I was just wondering, how long does it take you to finish one of your pictures on average? Thanks so much. ♥

the time really varies. In a sense I'm really, really just trying to feel my way forward, which means experiments, tweaks, inconsistency in style / methods / time.
A piece for learning can take 8-10+ hours, s'around how much time I put into a commission.
But if say, I'm just messing around in photoshop with what I already know how to do, for fanart or for fun or etc, it generally takes a lot less time and I can make multiple paintings per day.
Hey HaveConquest! I wanted to ask you something, in case you have the time to answer. I bought a tablet a week ago and have been starting to train digital painting, and I wondered what software you used for your digi patintings? I know it falls much to what you want into the final product and own taste, but what do you prefer work and taste wise, Photoshop or Painter? And which do you think is best in means of brushes and textures?
hm! I use photoshop in all my current digital pieces, I haven't touched painter in years.
Generally speaking, PS is perfect for precision, alteration, and depth of color manipulation. Painter takes brush emulation to the next level and can pump out some really gorgeous strokes that a talented artist will put to good use.
My first tablet came with photoshop elements and an equally stunted version of corel painter, I tried both out a lot, totally clueless as to what I was doing, and in the end I started using photoshop a lot more than painter. The reason for that was really simple, photoshop E had better layer support, so I could paint sloppily underneath "lineart" and get what I used to consider a passable result. like [link] (vintage 2006, yeaaargh xD )
After that I pretty much forgot about painter and just worked with a sort of painting sort of cell shaded style under bad lineart for a long time, and it wasn't until I started turning that lineart layer off to make lineless art did I begin to really "paint", heh.
I still use photoshop today because it's what I'm comfortable with, and as far as I understand it the two programs are so competitive with eachother, you really cant loose in either of them. They keep stealing eachothers best features, so if you get either of them you've got the potential to make really brushy artistic paintings or fine tuned manipulated pieces all with fancy layer control and brush support you could need.
I think both offer free trials of their program for download, so I would grab them and play in each for the 30 days they give you and decide which environment feels more comfortable, more powerful, more along the lines of what you want to accomplish.
As for brushes and textures- you really, really don't need anything fancy when you're just trying to learn. Fancy odd shaped brushes and heavy grungy textures, to me, are more for -enhancing- a well painted base painting rather than relying on them to make a picture "good". So just keep the bases covered, A soft round brush(pressure sensitive opacity), a hard round(no opacity jitter, just shape dynamics), soft chalk(rectangular), hard chalk, etc, to give you a little variety in the "shape" of the brush you paint a figure in.
I can talk a little about texture later, but I think thats enough for now. Good luck! ;]
That was even more helpful than I expected it to be! Thanks so much for the answer! Yeah, I think I shall take one or two months to see which one I feel more comfortable upon and choose, I was kinda confused because I feel the brushes upon painter really feel different and versatile differing from the normal pieces made on PS but I know about to nothing of the softwares yet. Thanks for answer, you don't know how much it helped!
I love your art so much. Which is weird because most people do. Haha. Awesome art man Iwill watch you

and am usually up for an art trade or two.
But not direct requests, no. That wouldn't be fair to commissioners, heh. ; ]
