I know I still owe a lot of commisions and such. I have NOT forgotten. 
I am still in the middle of transferring to a new home.

Last week I finally got all my things in the new house, and now I am in the middle of finalizing my move out of my place I just got out of. Next Tuesday, I should be in the finishing steps of this whole ordeal.

I apologize so much! To all of you. 

You should see more of me soon, and until then, please bear with me.

Hello! :happybounce:


I want to apologize for not being very active lately. It's been a busy time in my life.
I graduated from college last week with my Associates Degree, and am in the process of moving to a new place so I can continue on to get my Bachelors. 
I have promised a few people Commissions/Requests, but the time keeps on slipping past.

So while I transition to this new place, please bear with me. :(


Have a great day!

So, with recent updates to the Deviantart we have stumbled across the "Add Media" section in the comments. This is fascinating and useful tool that is really neat for those who like to comment a lot. Although I have noticed that with great things, comes problems. 

Most of my watchers seem to be just starting out Emoticonists, or Artists who use other mediums. I know that only a few are very skilled emoticonists. So this problem is probably hidden in the bushes for many, and those who are part of the mass "add media" crowd probably don't know. 

:bulletblue: Did you know that when you use an artists emote/art for a comment that they can see when,where, and how it was used? Sounds great!
:bulletgreen: Did you know that adding media is just as easy as searching a keyword and clicking it? Easy enough!
:bulletblue: Did you know that there is not an ounce of artist consent when adding it? ( I never said anyone could use it, when it was posted)

Now I don't want to sound like a negative Nancy. I see my art used hundreds of times a day (meaning my emotes), it is fascinating that so many people really enjoy using my art. Sadly, almost none of the people who use it know that just simply clicking the media you added takes you to the deviation page. There you can comment, and most of all favorite it. I appreciate people liking my work and sending it to other people, but I would like some appreciation in the favorite department. I am not a very famous artist on the Deviantart so the amount of messages I get a day is not astounding. Meaning that when I get on, I will see that I have 100+ messages, and find out that every single one of them is a "mention" (meaning, that I can see where it was posted). There are no preceding favorites to go along. I realize that going to the effort to go to the page might be a long stretch for some, but not all should be in this standard. 


I would just like to get the word out, that if the art/emotes are good enough to be used a million times a day, then they deserve the recognition (of favorites or comments, or even page-views).
