So it's been quite a while since I've submitted any new artwork or updated my Journal. Sorry about that, but a lot of things have been going on (work related).
I've been so swamped with work that I wasn't able to create a drawing for the Seventh Sanctum Weapons & Warriors contest, but congratulations to the winners of the contest! [www.seventhsanctum.com/contest…. Its fun looking through all of the submissions and seeing the different types of characters that people came up with, especially for a contest that has such diversity of generators to choose from.
As for the newest contest on Seventh Sanctum: Horseplay [www.seventhsanctum.com/contest…, I think I might sit this one out and wait until the next contest rolls around. Drawing magical equines just isn't my thing. Sorry.
That reminds me: Steven Savage just finished publishing his eBook called: Focused Fandom: Cosplay, Costuming, and Careers. [www.focusedfandom.com/book-cos… If you like costumes, cosplay, or both, I recommend taking a look at it.
Last but not least, I want to thank everyone for getting my DeviantART page up to 1,000 pageviews. I know 1,000 isn't a lot compared to most artists, but this is a new milestone for me (never before has my artwork been so popular).
Thanks for your support, and have a great day today!

Hello 2012!
I suppose this is a little late in the year for welcoming 2012, but I don't post new journal entries very often (and technically this is the first journal I've posted this year).In Seventh Sanctum news, I'm sad to say that I wasn't able to participate in the Technomancy contest due to more important things getting in the way (such as looking for a job), but I am proud to say that I DID make it in time for the Science Fiction Tarot Card Contest!

but I'm still looking for a job

Picture This
So lately I've been trying my hand at photography, and I'm slowly learning the basics. I've been taking a lot of pictures whenever I go somewhere, and occasionally I manage to take a picture worth keeping. The rest I've been putting in a "stock pictures" folder in case I need any textures or references for other art projects. Still, I learn something with every photograph I take, whether it gets posted online or dumped into a stock folder.In Seventh Sanctum news, there is a new contest up: Technomancy! http://www.seventhsanctum.com/contests.php It has be quite a while since I last participated in one of these contests, so I think I might g...
Buckets of Contests!
I just posted my entry for the RIFT Create a Colossus contest! [http://news.deviantart.com/article/151243/] Here's a contest where you have to create a big bad boss with an elemental theme, and I couldn't help but think about my "Vengeance of Sailor Witch Ahab" drawing. When I first discovered it, I just knew I had to enter. Drawing colossi are fun, and I wanted to try drawing another one (but one that was different enough from Moby Dick). Too bad the contest didn't last longer, or I would have had time to make multiple submissions.I realize I'm pretty late in saying this, but congratulations to the winners of the Seventh Sanctum's Fantasy...
Judgment!
The Seventh Sanctum Fantasy Fusion Contest [www.seventhsanctum.com] has ended, and I have bestowed my judgment upon them (Mwahaha). The final results will be posted on Seventh Sanctum as soon as all the other judges vote.
Being involved in the 7S contest as a judge was a new and fun experience for me. I still think entering a contest as an actual contestant is better, but it would still be fun to judge another contest. When you think about it, judging a contest is an additional "prize" to winning a 7S contest, whether you won the Grand Prize or the Runner-Up Prize. That gives me even more of an incentive to enter the next Seventh Sanctum c...
