Welcome to my world
here you'll find...well let's face it you won't find much of anything, not many people pay attention to these places do they? lol
anyways, what you might find here are various thought from myself on random stuff...and also maybe some notices when I intend to change something, etc.
...yep that's about it, it's you'd still like to lurk look about, feel free.
Yeah...so...a few things have changed since the last post...
I still don't intend to submit fully original works anymore...however, I've become a little more open to fanart than mentioned before just over the past month...thus I've decided that when I do fanart, I'll be submitting that here.
But now in light of my split opinion on the new usage thing they're pushing, I've come to a comfortable, but none the less sizable decision.
while I do not wish to have the original works in my gallery openly available for usage in wallies or ecards, I actually would be happy to make whatever fanart I come up with over time available for said usage.
I cannot have both options, I can't shut the option off for originals and then turn it on for fanart, so I've come to the decision that I will be removing my original work from TheO and refocusing my gallery/account to be my new fanart base on the internet.
For those who might still want to see my original work, as mentioned before, I've moved my original submissions fully to my deviantART account, SkyGateCreations, there all the work that will be removed here and far more will be available to view - often at higher quality levels.
but as for here, I feel the conversion of this account into my fanart base is what I want to do.
I figured it was a big enough change that it needed a proper explanation, otherwise I'm pretty sure the mass deletion would come across as a major rage-quit XD
Yeah, so pretty obvious no one is seeing/interested in the "glass slipper" event (kinda figured it'd be that way, but decided to give theOtaku some love and hold the even here first)
So because of the inactivity, I've closed it a day early (it was going to run until tomorrow)
Just a reminder, I'm still looking for a Light-haired, young, feminine type character to draw for a commission example.
this event will expire Monday, with the title of the event Advertisement being changed to "CLOSED" at that point I will continue my search elsewhere than theOtaku.
see the description of the event "advertisement" image in my portfolio for more info if interested.
EDIT: Event is OPEN accepting now accepting applicants via PM! read the details in the image description of my ad image here for details on requirements - http://www.theotaku.com/fanart/view/367562/%2526quot%253Bglass_slipper%2526quot%253B_event_ad
to those who watch me and keep track of these posts I am opening a new event, looking for a particular type of OC to draw and then use the image as a quality example for commissions I am thinking of doing on deviantART.
I'm going to the other artists around me because I'm drawing a blank on coming up with a random design myself, so I'm basically seeking a "reverse request" sort of thing.
I have a specific idea of the type of character I want to draw - the translation of that notion being the "glass slipper" - but it's difficult to put into words, I'll only know it when I see it I think, so I'll be seeking applicants with their characters and then choosing one I find suitable and drawing art of them that their creators can then resize, use, and repost as they wish (only condition is I get credit for the actual drawing of the picture)
this is just a heads up, mainly to get the word out a little more at least among my watchers and people who happen across my portfolio page, the event is not open yet, it opens when I post the ad image, so keep an eye out if you are interested.
To those who are familiar with my original characters, Lance, and to a lesser extent, his "brother" equivalent, Keldro (who's image is not currently in my TheO gallery), are getting a name change.
due to the fact that over the past year, both have become a bit more fleshed out, and have taken on a more definite ethnicity, I realized that their names have become a sort of inconsistency due to origin (Lance is French, and Keldro is completely to of my head)
so from now on, the character Lance is now renamed "Mikhail", and Keldro will be renamed "Kir". And I will be editing all submissions containing these characters so that their old names are converted to the new ones
so yeah, from now on
Lance = Mikail
Keldro = Kir
hope that clears up any confusion for those who have maybe favorited any works (with Lance since as mentioned above, Keldro is not posted here yet) and notice that suddenly the submissions have different names on them and stuff.
It's not that I didn't like the old names, (Lance has become one of my favorite male names of all) they just felt out of place seeing what these characters have evolved into. so a change was needed...weird though, these characters have been in my OC family for years, so it is a bit weird make the change.
