Deviation Actions
I'm pretty confused by the recent restructuring, let me tell you. I can empathise with the reasoning - the "Indy Art" section (regardless of the appropriateness of the name) was very large and unwieldy. But who decided we needed a three-level hierarchy with multiple redundancy?
Let me break it down for you. Let us take, for example, my Featured Deviation (www.deviantart.com/view/200708…). Is it Digital/Drawings/People? Digital/Drawings/Sci-Fi? Perhaps even Digital/Drawings/Anime, since it has a certain stylistic quality. Not unlike a Digital/Drawings/Cartoons And Comics. Hell, it came from a Fantasy game and it's kind of Fanart. If it doesn't neatly fit into any of those, I suppose there's always Digital/Drawings/Miscellaneous.
But is it a Drawing? I don't know, it's got a fair old bit of computer colouring and effects going on. Maybe it's Miscellaneous after all (that's Digital/Miscellaneous, not Digital/Drawings/Miscellaneous). Once I'm in there, of course, I've got the choice of Sci-Fi or People. (Or Fantasy, of course. Ah, Miscellaneous beckons...)
I'm even tempted to dig my heel in and deny that it's "digital art". I drew it with pencils and inks, FFS. So I made the lightsabers glow and lit up the background, it's still my own hard-learned drawing sk1llz going down. So I turn to the Traditional Art gallery, to be presented with the same old choices all over again.
I don't know. /rant. I'm sure I'll get over it. It's just so bewildering - for browsing as well as submitting. I, for one, will likely be browsing less due to the sheer number of galleries there now are. Meh.

Hello again.
Sorry I haven't put anything up on DA for so long - I've been busy with my new webcomic, Special School (http://specialschool.spiderforest.com). I'll try and do something for here at some point, I promise.
Wait a minute.
Who decided that GIFs can't be larger than 100x100? Some of my stuff just compresses down better in that format. I don't want to lose my detail, dammit!
Update
OK, I figured I should post a new journal entry just to get that last crazy rant off of here. Especially since they restructured the galleries again, and it's now a lot more functional.
I haven't done any actual art for a while now. I'm going to have to get back on that horse some time soon ... but I just have so little time. Okay, no, I have a lot of time but I spend it all on my PC or watching TV. I am a fool. Still, somebody has promised to write me a comic, so I'll be drawing a serious amount some time soon. I promise.
Note to future self: YOU PROMISED.
Journal
Oh, what, a Journal now? Oh hey, I guess this would be a good place to link together my deviations since Deviation Packs seem to have vanished in DA2.0...
Alright, here's the first Digimon, usually called Falconmon.
Baby - Ultimate; SUPREME (not Mega) biomerges with his partner to form his final evolution.
Before Falconmon I roleplayed with Hiraishinmon.
Baby, In-Training, Rookie, Champion, Ultimate, and the Mega-substitute SUPREME which biomerged with his partner to form his final evolution.
That last digimon also available in the form of mocked-up cards! 1, 2, 3, 4, 5!
There is no cause for alarm. Everything is NORMAL. You will no
