Well I guess I got my gifts early this year.
General | Posted 13 years agoWell greetings to all who read this.
Its been a long, long, long time since I posted anything; let alone talked to any fur out there. This is due in part to personal dilemmas and dramas that I'll spare you all the details with. Suffice to say my attention has been else where and only recently have I been given any freedom to reach out again to old friends. After much effort I've been able to recover my original AoL account and get the emails saved in it. So starting more or less an hour ago I've begun reaching out to old furiends and hoping to be forgiven for this long period of nothingness.
Yeah I'm expecting to get my ears yelled off or not to get a response back at all.
Still nothing comes to those who don't try I think, plus I think it would be worse of me to not reach out and let them know I'm alive and well at least and never say anything to them at all. They were good friends I think they deserve that much.
Wish me luck.

A sad day and night
General | Posted 15 years agoE621 a image hosting site where many a times I've been lucky to find obscure and rare art of some great artists to view, and traced to their pages here to add to my favorites lists recently closed its doors.
The reasons were posted on their page and it saddens me to see a good place go down so fast. I will miss E621, but will continue to weasel my way among the inter-web highway that the great Furaffinity.net graces.
And in other news I finally finished re-locating all my Redwall and Guardians of Ga'Hoole series books from the attic. :)

Thoughts on future commisions and art.
General | Posted 18 years agoWell its been only a short time since Anthrocon ended and the long wait for the next run begins. I've already begun to think of what I want to do next time if I can go. The main idea I have is for a small fic I'm currently working on while I read more Redwall to get more ideas for my Einvontod fic.
The fic is more of a story about Alex and Ein and the fictural world they live in. The main goal I hope is to get someone who can do a good pic of a MiG-27 and MiG-29 for the two of them. Hopefully I can find an artist who can do jets and can do a good job on a custom colored MiG-27(Really a MiG-23BN Flogger H)for Ein and Alex's custom colored MiG-29K.
I'd post what of the fic is avalible to be shown (what I know is set for the fic) but I don't think many would approve of it. So if your willing to read it ask or email me I may let ya have a look and if you know someone who can do good pics of jets let me know.

Back from AC 07!
General | Posted 18 years agoAlex Ritter here, with an overal report on my experinces at the 2007 Anthrocon.
The flight to AC 07, my first trip to this con and my second con to ever go to was uneventful though pleasent. Arrived at about 8:12pm and along with a number of fellow Houston furs headed for the main gathering. On the way the humans were firing off their fireworks and putting on one hell of a display of color, light, and sound. It made me think two things when we arrived at the fireworks really started to go off.
1) Its almost likey they are celebrating our arrival
2) It makes me think of a city when its being bombed.
And in truth it did from the Westin on the 20th floor some of the fire works could not be seen only the flashes and smoke in the night sky, it easily looked like one of the many shots form Iraq in 1991.
Unlike Chicago and MFF last year I had the forsight to ask for some roomies and did I hit the jack pot; my first roomie a cute and energetic husky named Devil was there to meet me at the hotel when I arrvied that evening on the 4th. The other roomies I shared the room with was a respectable and honest dragon whom I refered to simply as Tom and his lady a polite and funny feline whom I refered to as La.
The dragon and his beloved did not join me and Devil until late thursday. For the most part wensday and thursday were the build ups to the great gathering. Its at that time I caught up and found to my delight my friends Baka and Bar-1 would both be at the con and swiftly commissioned the pecies that are now in my gallery.
Over the course of the con I meet many, many different and loving furs, of all shapes and sizes and deminors. It truely was a experince unlike any other. The friends I made there I have vowed to keep intouch with and if the chance arises to meet up with them at future cons and gatherings.
The Dealers Den and Artist Gallery were amazing and much larger then those at MFF I think, I got my paws on the latist from that Husky, and from the Circles gang. I also collected some new books and material I'd not noticed before such as Rocketship Rodents and ASB. It is not hard to believe I shot most of my fundings into the DR then anything else.....that and the commissions I asked from D.Bruin and the producers of Albedo.
It was while running around this crazy and amazing gathering of furs I meet some new and old friends, I meet furs I had seen and chatted with shyly back in MFF and now confidently stood by at AC. Among the new friends I made was Foxx and his mate Dingo as well as a loveable cat named White Lion. All three were funny, kind, and very warm and open turly some of the best friends I have made in a long time. Then there is of course the roomies I stayed with Tom and La are amazing at listening to others and connecting with them. Devil while not the best listner is still funny and was always full of energy to run about and see new things. He also taught me how to play GOW without dieing to badly....I still had trouble using the cover correctly...he made it look so easy.
On another note I made my first jab into the art auctions and while I didn't get everything I have to say it was alot of fun. I enjoyed this funny duel with a rabbit over a cute otter pic in the voice auctions. I did though run out with a nice pair of pics "Ship Shape" a pic by Michele Light of a cute and just begging to be cuddled Sea Otter, and a mecha wolf that looks alot like the MS-18E Kampfer from 0080 by Zen Mignawa.
I also got away with a nice Dragon pick by Kari Kathals but I gave that one to Tom and La I knew they'd love it^_^. Overall the best summary I can give for the con was it was beyound anything any of us first AC goers could ever imagine. It was a blast.
