So...naturally I am a bit excited. lol

It'll arrive next week, and I assume it'll take a few days to get used to it, so I will probably submit a few scraps.
And then let the drawings begin!  

I have been doodling sketch dumps and stuff based on the last journal's responses, by the way.  I may use those ideas to practice with the tablet, too.  Will submit whatever I can soon after getting it.

lol I am having too many blocks.  Want to draw all the time, but when I sit down to do it I come up empty.

Manga and most digital art will be on hiatus until I get a tablet I like (I am saving up soon for something soon).
This is because I have little time, and having a tablet will allow me to cut my drawing time in half.  Once I get it, I will likely post more consistently -maybe once a week.

SOOOO...I can do pencil stuff like sketch dumps or poses and "how to"s.
Feel free to suggest anything, aside from fanart or original characters.  I know Dream hasn't really gotten interesting yet (I am slow and bad at storytelling! ), but feel free to ask for anything Dream-related as well.

I entrust my artistic fate to you all!  Don't let me get rusty! lol

1. How long have you been on DeviantArt?       5 years.  I think I was just a watcher for maybe a year or more before I started submitting stuff.

2. What does your username mean?       Eh, I was super into the Shinsengumi when I created it.  My lucky number is 7.  The more 7's the better. lol Nothing special.

3. Describe yourself in three words.     Curious.  Passionate.  Human.  

4. Are you left or right handed?      Right

5. What was your first deviation?       Should be this:  

   Mature Content

   

6. What is your favourite type of art to create?       Comic stuff? 

7. If you could instantly master a different art style, what would it be?       Digital

8. What was your first favourite?      Should be this: 

9. What type of art do you tend to favourite the most?       Character and mech art, I believe.

10. Who is your all-time favourite deviant artist?        Way too difficult to say.

11. If you could meet anyone on DeviantArt in person, who would it be?        Hmmm...that is also difficult.  It would be really cool to meet some of my watchers and just shoot the shit. lol  As far as the "big names" I don't know.  Most seem like great people.

12. How has a fellow deviant impacted your life?      Everyone I've talked to has impacted my life, in some way.  Similar interests, art struggles, ideas -it is awesome to get to know people here.

13. What are your preferred tools to create art?       Paper, pencils, erasers, microns, PC.

14. What is the most inspirational place for you to create art?       Our home office/ "studio" lol

15. What is your favourite DeviantArt memory?       The first feedback I ever got for a submission.  I don't think I would have progressed as much or pushed myself to try new things or even shared anything significant without seeing that first acknowledgement.  

Lol I leave for the airport in like 15 minutes...

Sorry for the delays again!
Will be working on stuff more once I get back next week.

I'm Married!

"Damn I'm good! Can you feel that, can you feel it?"
lol but seriously.  We're very happy.

So, in not-my-romantic-life-news, I am planning on building a PC.  Hopefully I can buy the parts within a few months.
It'll basically be a powerful gaming rig (just in case I want to go that route) that will function perfectly for basically any graphic application.  
So...I'll be able to work with much larger images without issue (better quality.)  Needless to say, this does mean I will have to again wait on getting a nice tablet.  Oh well.

I still have the kiriban piece for to finish (It is drawn out, but not colored/shaded yet) and am thinking after that to do some kind of art contest.  I am not sure if that would be good or not.

If so, what kind of contest do you think would be fun? (Or maybe no one really wants to do one. lol)
The prize would probably be a drawing by me (big whoop, I know ) -the quality/complexity would depend on how many people take part in the contest, and the quality of the art they put out.

Anyone interested?  
Anyone have any ideas?

Aside from this I am still drawing, and have been working on the story for "Dream".  As always when I don't work on it for a long time, I am excited to be able to again.  I have some new mech stuff, character stuff, and story background ready.  Also working on fixing some details and plot slowdown issues, and making decent progress.

Oh....and to the like 150 people or so who have sent me notes about the uncensored naughty poses I will respond once I get a new computer and access my old hard drive (or just re-scan the paper.)

And THANK YOU SO MUCH to all of the new watchers!!!  
I am sorry I have been so inactive!  Will change that as soon as possible!
