Alright, it's been some time, not a whole lot has happened honestly. Work, more work, and did I mention work? That's about all I've had going for me. I've recently started catching up on all the manga/anime I missed during my pc downtime and life downtime in general. I am set back quite a bit but I'll get there. This unfortunately means I won't be publishing any art in the near future. I love procrastination and when I am caught up on my manga/anime I'm sure I'll find something else to get my mind off of trying to work on anything, probably a game of some kind. This update is fairly sure in comparison to the others I've written, it's almost 7 am and I'm about ready to head out for work. I figured I'd publish another journal entry to update, plus it's Free Premium Membership Day, which means I can add a skin. :o since I've always been obsessed with Final Fantasy, you get a fairly girly (in color) skin of one of my favorite characters in this Journal Entry.

Later Deviants.

Alright, well, it's been 8 months since my last update- according to the date on the last journal entry anyhow.

Much has happened in some respects, in others, not much has.

Personal life - It's steadily going along. I went on a nice little trip through Europe. Spent 3 weeks in Japan.. what else, had to put my old pc out of its misery. That 90ish bucks I blew before to try to recover the data on my drive turned out to be wasted; if you couldn't tell from my comments on it before.

Found out the mobo (motherboard) on the pc had a few faulty connections, as well as some faulty sata cords. That's what caused the drives to end up crashing on me, cord came loose while the drive was in use = corruption on the drive. The last drive really did go all out though, nothing could be recovered so I wiped it. I ended up losing 204gb off the 1tb drive from it being corrupted, doesn't seem like I can reformat or use the space either. Probably just scrap it or sell it to someone who has the know how to repair it, I may be somewhat savvy with technology but that's beyond my skill.

Project wise - Not much progress has been made, I honestly just haven't been in the mood to work on anything. I've still been sketching here and there, it helps me think and organize my thoughts. I have colored a few pictures, (by hand) it was horrible. I've lost just about all sense of direction I had before working. I've noticed my perception seems to be off with the pictures, proportions that don't seem proper, background items interfering with part of the picture or seeming out of place.. it's nasty when the rust collects and your skills dull. I do have a tablet now though so I can play with that and possibly throw up some WIP's whenever I get around to it.

You can see firsthand how 'not' motivated I am nowadays when there's no progress on them for months. I'm hoping I'll get back to it eventually; it's just been crazy and I need to spend more time living my life than I used to at the computer. I was becoming socially inept and apparently a "hermit" so I decided to get back in the scope of things and live my life and have fun with my friends again. Seems I ended up neglecting them a bit without even realizing it. Hopefully it won't be as long until my next update, but it could end up being longer.

Until then. Deviants.

Erh, update.

It's been 3 months since my last entry. I imagine that one had a few people raising an eyebrow "Who knew he knew all those words!" yeah anyhow: On with the update.

I got injured on the job back in Jan, been laid up since. It's sucking and trying my patience like you wouldn't believe. The best part is once again I'm fate's slapping bitch. This would be a wonderful time to continue with my projects I bet you're all saying, yes that would be true if I still had any of them to continue with.

My laptop decided it no longer liked dealing with my bullshit so the "new" hard drive crashed, utterly crashed. I had another crash before this as well and lost a lot of data. I spent 90 bucks I think it was hoping I could get the data recovered, nothing. Apparently while I was away in the hospital someone decided to have a download spree on my laptop and put a bunch of shit on it that infected it to hell and back - or it's possible they could have been on there lurking all that time. Either way, I lost everything, my backups, 20 some odd lines, a folder full of sketches and all progress on any coloring jobs I'd started. I also lost 5 months worth of updates for a fanfiction I was beta'ing which may not seem like a huge deal; it is when I have to read through 183 pages and correct all grammatical errors, give input on the plot or possible input on character development. *shouts out in joy* .. well I have nothing but time with my current situation but it's sucking none the less.

All projects I had started/was in progress on are lost for good. I may or may not start some of them back up, frankly the Naru/Hina/Shiz/Tay/Konan one would be the one I'd want to start back up first. It's not so much a rare grouping as it is mostly uncommon. And they are all hot. I'd love to see more Naru/Konan art, I rather enjoy drawing her myself. Especially with those piercings, hurr.. anyhow, before I get off track. This is my latest update, the next could come.. whenever. I had 4800 some Deviations racked up waiting for me when I came back.. and it's down to 2852 but I'm in no hurry to clear the rest, I am bone tired and don't nearly have the energy I once had to put into knocking out 2k+ Deviations in a night. Sleep calls me to its sweet embrace.

As always, I'll keep you updated when there's something to update.

Another Update.

2 min read
Been a bit, I haven't actually had much time to even be on my computer, yet alone on the site. I have a nice 1,169 Deviations staring me in the face I gotta sort through when I get the chance. My projects have been put on hold indefinitely, I just can't handle everything at once, going on 3 hours a sleep for a month really oddly enough opened my eyes to the horror that is sleep deprivation. I was spread too thin trying to balance everything and it came back to bite me in the ass.

Work has been nuts, seemingly always gets busy in Nov-Dec, even though my birthday was last month, I feel I should tell you all; it blew, not because it was bad, but because it was yet another day the universe loves to remind me that I'm getting old. <.<

When I start my projects back up I will post again, probably next month there will be yet another update since that seems to be my pattern. Hopefully all the wait (for those who are curious) about my projects will be worth it but.. this is me we're talking about and I'm overly anal about the smallest things, something I call great someone else will adversely call crap. That's how the world works.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and I hope everyone has a great Christmas. Happy Holidays!

Until later, keep it real Deviants.

I've been playing around on my 360 in my free time which has resulted in putting what I was working on to a 'unknown' date of completion. I really just don't have the motivation anymore. Doing colors and everything else using just the mouse is a hell of a chore for me. Not sure why.

On another note, I started trying to clean up my favorites so it'd be easier to see just the specific favorites based on the collection type/name. I've run into a snag there though, I'm sure a few Deviants noticed I added some of their deviations to my favorites again when I had them there already. That's because I attempted to remove them and then add them into the new collection folders after the method below failed me. No matter what I've done though they still show up under my normal favorites.

Shouldn't the point of having the blue drop down under 'Edit' that lets you choose to 'hide' or 'show' a deviation in a specific collection make more sense if when you told it to hide that deviation from the favorites folder.. it worked and hid it from view under the normal favorites folder? .. yeah I thought it would too, unfortunately that does not seem to be the purpose.. or something is stopping it from updating to hide the deviations I want hidden.

Anyone have an idea of what caused this and how to fix it? I've given up after 3 hours of going through 20 some pages worth of deviations to hide them.. only to see they are still shown under the collection I do not want them shown in. It's highly annoying.
