You know, the only season of American Idol I really got into enough to watch beyond the crappy auditions was season 4. None of the others really held any interest for me. However I have to say season 6 (this season) is the only one that made me slightly sick. HOWEVER! someone just linked this to me today, and I have to say, I approve. There ere some parts I wish he emphasized a bit more. But overall, it was a really good cover. I like how he made the song his. So, here's the link so you all know what I'm talking about.

Edit: I just watched it again. I'm going to have to retract part of that above. I don't think there was really any way he could have done this and been any better. Not while doing all the vocal effects at the same time.

Holy crap, I went through my new messages that I've been neglecting since I disappeared and after deleting all the journals, favs and watches, I've finally managed to get them down to 0!! To all those that watched me, Thank you very much. I wish I could have thanked you all personally, but then I'd have no time for new art. And that's why you watched me, right? I know it's not for these journals.

Now, which all the people I've noticed doing Kiribans, I figured I'll do one as well. To give you all plenty of notice and me plenty of time to do other arts, I'll set the mark at 5000 pageviews. The first one to shout on my userpage including a link to the screenshot wins. 2 characters, full color, any rating, we'll discuss any no-nos in IMs. Goodluck.

Visit this guy and help him get his 1k view!

Yeah, I know I didn't announce I was leaving. Kinda unexpected. I'm back now, sorta. Details on my activities later!

Well, here how it goes:


The 1st player of this "game" starts with the topic "6 weird habits/things/hates about yourself" and people who get tagged MUST write a journal about their 6 weird habits/things/hates as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says "you are tagged" on their User Page comments and tell them to read yours.

1.) I'm pretty much a request artist. Anything I want for myself I can see in my head, so I tend not to draw it. Hence why I draw so much for and with others.

2.) I don't have a full grasp on why people react to emotions the way they do, especially negative ones. I have the same emotions, but I deal with things very logically to a point that people tend to mistake me for being cold hearted.

3.) I fidget, constantly. If I'm not drawing or doing something with a friend, You'll usually see me twirling something through my fingers, or even pacing around my house.

4.) I space out alot. While on AIM or even iRL. People mistake it for me being bored or even upset. All it really is is an idea crossed my mind and I'm working it out in my head before I forget.

5.) I'm slightly dyslexic. I confuse little things like numbers, right and left, and if I type too fast, I jumble the letters. If you ever talk to me on AIM, you'll see the whole "Typing"..."Has entered Text"..."Typing"..."Has entered text." That's me fixing the mistakes.

6.) Since I don't fully understand people's reactions to emotional problems, when someone comes to me about one, I tend to stop talking.

That's about it. Now to "tag" someone. I'll go through the list of who's watching me and pick 6 people, so they see it coming.

Well, I think I found a way to accept commissions for any of you that really want one. I cannot attend FC myself, but my bud Dreamous said he'd be happy to deliver pictures for me there, as well as accept the payment for me. So if you'll be attending FC and want a picture from me waiting there for you, EMail or IM me and I'll get to work. My pricing is on the commission page. Any questions or such can be asked over IM or EMail.

As for the Art CD, I'm going to try and have one availible at FC as well, again, with Dreamous. Same deal, pay him, he'll give you the CD.

If all goes well with this, I may be able to attend other cons and future FurCons to do these myself, as well as a few sketchbook pictures.

Later all!

Well, I reupdated my commission info to include prices and descriptions and such, but I'm still not taking commissions. Don't really have a preferable way to accept payments yet. I took a few requests at the week's end, found it fun. Did some nice pictures for a few people. I'm leaving request status closed for now. Don't wanna get too deep into that right now. I did, however, open up my trade Status. Figured I'd get less of those then requests, and I'd get a pic of my own. Does it get better then that? If so, tell me how.

On another note, curiousity has hit me in this area. If I offered to sell off my original pics that I post here, would anyone actually be interested? Once I'm done with it, it sits here and collects dust. At the same time, I see other artists selling their originals and I never know if anyone actually buys them. Any Thoughts?

Oh! And to you all that have watched, faved and commented. Thank you. I'll get to responding to all the comments sometime soon. I promise.

An Enlongated response to thie Jounal Entry: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/15276/

You know, thist could probably explain why since I've started posting my art here, I have about 100 favs, but very few comments about my art in comparison. I've never understood the whole holier then thou attitude of some people I've talked to. Not gonna single out artists on that one cause trust me, plenty of non-artists can act that way too. I understand the art theft deals but think it covers too broad a range of scenarios. I'm sorry, but if you post a picture on the net for free and someone reposts it elsewhere, it's not theft.

It's a true shame cause I do like to meet the people that like my work. I like to hear what people like about my art, and what people think I could fix. I know I come across as rude half the time because I don't use smileys. If you go through my previous journal entries and submissions, I did use them then. But I decided that I wanted to be taken a bit more seriously. Can't get that effect if I'm all smiles and googly eyes.

So please, feel free to comment on my art. Praise and critisize. In no way do I mean scour the picture for every little thing that could be considered a mistake and point it out. But if you notice something you think I overlooked, then please, by all means, let me know.

PM me if you you wanna ask me something or even just chat a bit. I listed my AIM, YIM and EMail so you guys could use it.

In the last 24 hours, I posted 3 pics. I didn't expect much of a response. a few favs, even less comments... But I just spent the last 30 minutes responding to about 55 watches, favs and comments. Thanks again to you all.

Uh, does anyone happen to know the file size limitations for FA? I'm currently ata bout 500kb for this animation and it's only gonna get bigger. So I need to know if I should break it up or find another place to host it and link to it from here.

Well, my next/current project will be an animation. I'm not gonna post anything here about it till it's good and ready. And I won't even tell you guys who's in it until the same. Let it be a surprize. I will, however, tell you guys that I'm having fun doing it, and I currently sketch 66 frames since yesterday afternoon. I will be attempting to color it as well, and my personal goal is at least 30 seconds long. Currently, it's about 6 seconds, so we'll see what happens. ^^

Now, to help me know who's actually reading these journal entries, The script isn't set in stone till the animation is done. What would you guys like to see in it?

Been busy. So I apoligize to all those that have watched me and my art, as well as those that have faved and/or commented on my work. Just because I'm an undead being, that doesn't mean I'm not appreciative. I most likely won't be able to reply to most of you that have already faved/commented on my stuff. So to you, I say thanks.

Coming up. More art. Question, though. What would you guys rather see from me? Art pin ups or animation attempts?

Well, I just uploaded a animation attempt I'm working on. Galgomon has his arm turned into a cock and he proceeds to "Fist" Gabumon. More on that later.

This was inspired by Kanada and his Hypermode Galgomon pic. Never been too big on TFs myself, but that caught my interest. Kudos guy. Hope you don't mind my using the idea.

Also, I would have put this in Scraps, but it appears that with you upload a gif to scraps, it won't accept the thumbnail, so I was forced to put it here. I apoligize for that, but I wanted to share this.

Anyways, more from me later. Byes

You know, thought I'd just update with some contact info, in case anyone is curious on how to get ahold of me off of FA.

EMail Djih_Ell[at]yahoo.com

I' gonna be posting alot of my WIPs as I draw them. Just to get comments on them as they progress. I'll be putting them up in the scraps portion of my little section here, so if you're not watching me, drop in there or you may miss something you'd like.

Well, I'm taking the time before I go to my little job to set up this page and make the imfamous first post that'll pretty much let you all know who and what I am.

Actually, I'll avoid all that, and just say that the pics I'll upload are half very hardcore and abusive, half nicer and more intimate, and I'll toss in a few off the wall crazy ones when I see fit.

Feel free to comment, I actually like to see what you sickos like so I can work more on it. >)
