Devious Journal Entry

Graaaaah! Why does this site keep trying to add favorites to me?

I'll level here - I don't want to get into this favorites game. It seems to create this entire system of courtesy and social currency that I don't really want to get into. Pretty much every favorite I have is an accident, because DeviantArt keeps mistaking my method of browsing for trying to favorite - like how I hold down my mousewheel to move around the page.

There's a lot of great artists and good authors on the site, yeah, but I have a strange sense of honor. And the constant exchange of "Thank you for the favorite!" and celebrating pageviews just sits outside my comfort zone. This isn't a diss on anyone, it's just not my thing. I like good manners, but this dimension of it just falls flat on me.

Again, no offense meant to anyone.

Thank you, Mark, for adding "Pennies from Heaven 2.0" to your favorites. I'm deeply honored that my work is the first in your favorites. I'm quite unworthy of the distinction, but grateful nonetheless.

Splendid detail in your gallery. I also really like the movement you employ in your work. They make a wonderful combination.

I am really impressed with your drawings. How long does it usually take you to draw some of those?

Still, I like what I see so I am going to stick around and "watch" whatever comes up.

Oh, uh, hey.

I dunno. I don't really time myself, so I can only tell you how long it was from start to finish, rather than the actual time spent drawing. Some drawings I start fervishly, and finish in two days. Some I drift back to every now and then, and finish in about a month or two. I had a couple that took almost a year to get around to finishing - they're not here. Since art is more a hobby than a trade, it has to take the backseat sometimes - though it's a great stress reliever for me.

Something about this looks familiar.

Eh? Were you ever a part of the wc3campaigns site, maybe? I used to hang around the concept art subforum there.

. . . I should probably spend some time looking for those people, I know most of them had deviant pages . . .
