Hahaha @ subject header. Anyways, just wanted to say that I'm officially back!!!

Just quit my job...it felt really bad telling my boss that I was quitting [since she is like, THE sweetest (and one of the hottest) person in the whole wide world]...but it had to be done. But yeah, that officially knocks me down to one full time job...which has been pretty nice. Lazy biatch at work is STILL a lazy biatch...but my ability to tune her out is getting better. "LEVEL UP!!!"

Today was the first day I've had to take a break in quite a while. Last week was one of my friends' wedding. It felt weird going to a friend's wedding...like, she's getting married and I'm like...deathly afraid of the mere thought of that level of [romantic] commitment...it wouldn't be such a big deal if she was alot older than me...but we're practically the same age...but yeah, that felt weird, in the sense of "god, I'm at that age already"...

Regardless, I'm really happy for her, though. CONGRATS JULIE!!!

Anyways, today I went hanging out with *WicasaWakan and `GH-MoNGo of *CAPITOL-DEVIANTS and saw "Narnia : Prince Caspian". Initially planned to go see "Ironman" but movie times were a bit off. Anyways, Narnia was actually quite good...which was rather surprising since the first one sucked. Like, the first Narnia movie...man, that was awful. The sequel REALLY redeemed the series though. Anyways, I'd give it a B+, definitely a good movie! Go Disney!



Oh yeah, I'm back to doing art again! YAYERS!!! Check out the new update for Summer-Heat's commission. (I actually brought it along with me today to get some work done on it since I figured, hey it's a buncha artists but we wound up walking around Pearl (art supply store) drooling like a kid in a candy store, instead). For those of you who hasn't met Mongo yet...lemme just say, he's EXACTLY the same in person as he is online...an obsessed paint/brush fanatic. WicasaWakan was more a really laid-back/chill kinda guy...so between the 2 of them, there were definitely alot of fun moments. Anyways, had a great times, guys! Y'all were real fun to hang out with! I'm definitely gonna be hitting up more of these get-togethers!



When I started, even I didn't think it'd turn out this cool (well, *I* think it's cool, at least). Anyways, to explain my rationale. The armor is all standard armor that was handed to me in the screenshot...however, as I was building his wings, I didn't want to use the same set of wings as with Lucius.



...even though they have the same wing designs ingame...I wanted there to be a difference...I wanted there to be something unique in this one...so I came up with this idea to revamp the design quite a bit. Believe it or not but it's actually partially inspired by the movie "Ironman". Yes, before all the Stark fanatics start to bash me about how Ironman doesn't have any wings (<COMIC_GEEK> well, *technically* he does in a *very few* of his armors </COMIC_GEEK>...but it did. Okay, end of story. Hahaha! No really, though...I LOVE these new sets of wings!

Oh yeah, this pic (along with the Miho/Maris one) will be the first ones done on my new computer...was saving up money from the 2nd job to build the rig...and for all the computer geeks out there, here's my build.

I prefer PayPal. Do NOT send the payment without me having accepted your commission...because, well...I guess I could always accept donations. After completion of the image, I will either note/email you a thumbnail of the final image. Then I will require the second half of the payment (in the event that you payed half upfront). After I have recieved the full payment, I will send you a high-resolution image and post a med-resolution image on dA (optional).

1. I retain the right to use the images in my portfolio/gallery.
