I live!

Depression is an annoying thing. When it gets bad it can seize me for months at a time and convince me that I'm hopeless as an artist and a writer, and I might as well give up. Thus my lack up updates until recently. I'm better now, and getting productive again. I've already uploaded one new deviation, and hopefully there are more to come.

depression eh?... I recently got into it and hardly went through...

I was just thinking the same you see... *maybe im a baaadd artist and maybe i should give up...

I really thought I wouldnt make my career out of it...
My dad was like... you gotta be realistic... I doubt youre gonna make a job out of it... maybe you should keep it for hobbies... and if later you get better... then show to other people you great talents...

My dad showed me who I am

He said I was a storyteller since my youngest age... and bla bla bla...
guess i will spare you the long speech...

so yes... depression can be really boring (like duh....) but it still has a use...

... you get to know yourself more and more...
its life man.... an endless cycle...

You'll see you end up quite the winning man after such a pass...

cheer up Man!

So much to say!Well, it's been a very long time since I updated you all on what I've been doing, so here's the lowdown:
I finished collegeI worked at a small animation studio for a yearI worked at BioWare Austin for a year, as a writerI've written a fantasy novel for YAs and am looking for an agentI've started dabbling in game development using the Unity Engine.
So, here I am. Is anyone even reading this?

CollegeSorry for the lack of updates. I've started studying Animation at college this year.

I need an artist!I live.
Crimson Dark http://www.davidcsimon.com/crimsondark/ has been going extremely well. It's well into chapter 2 now, approaching 80 pages and counting. I've been interviewed for The Gigcast http://gigcast.nightgig.com/?p=198 , I've been invited to join Nightgig and I've set up a mirror on Drunk Duck http://www.drunkduck.com/Crimson_Dark/ where Crimson Dark became a featured comic in less than a week. I've also published a 2007 calendar featuring spacecraft from the comic https://www.cafepress.com/crimsondark.88117133
Meanwhile, I'm looking for an artist who would like to collaborate on my next project. Please click here if you're interested: http://www.nightgig.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=16496#16496

Devious Journal EntryWell, I've got to say, the Daily Deviation which Human Error received has really started something going. It's a long story, but to put it simply: my webcomic is up and running, and going very well so far - all I need is people who want to read it

So swing by http://www.crimsondark.com/ and take a look, and let me know what you think. There's already a prologue online, as well as the first five pages of chapter 1 - that's over twenty pages in total. I'm really keen to get some feedback, since this is a very new endeavour for me.

BOO!I thought I'd go crazy and update my journal. Whacky, no?
I had a job for a few months, then I lost it. I'm currently looking for writing work, particularly games journalism but that's not exactly an easy industry to break into. In the meantime I'm *still* working on my novel - one day I'll finish it and the apocalypse will follow in a matter of hours, just you wait. Most of my art is digital at the moment, because it's cheap.
I've recently become addicted to The West Wing. No one is more surprised by this news than I, as I am profoundly UnAmerican. But it's extremely well written, with great acting and direction - I'm enjoying it immensley.

Looking forwardDang, every day it gets harder to wait for Serenity. I haven't been this excited about a new film since The Two Towers! If you have no idea what I'm talking about, go and borrow the Firefly DVDs from someone and watch them. You can thank me later

You may have noticed that I'm getting back into 3D work in a big way. I'm really enjoying it, all of a sudden I'm understanding things which had always been a mystery to me and I'm starting to get results which please me. Shocking, no?
One of my SA.net articles may be published in the Southern Cross - in PRINT! Yay! That's cool

For what it's worth......here's my opinion.
I don't know jark and I confess that my involvement in the DA community has been rather limited. If indeed he has been treated harshly and unfairly, then I condemn the action.
But I'm not convinced that the rampant hysteria which has swept across this site is achieving anything good. I beg people to express their anger calmly and gently. This boycot of August 7 seems terribly childish, like sitting in a corner and pouting.
But I I'm a subscriber and I have a print account and I fancy the idea of making money from my art (one day...), so obviously I must be a sell-out and my opinions are not worth squat.

A long overdue explanationI should explain why I haven't updated my journal in months, and why I haven't been commenting on others. At the moment I'm focusing on trying to get my novel finished, as I've started my fourth draft which is essentially a total rewrite. Thus I'm doing very little visual art at the moment, and Im trying not to get too heavily into it as I have only recently made it to a point where I'm writing every single day - I don't want that to change.
Many apologies for my ongoing absence. I'm not going to be looking at Deviations for a while, but if there's something you want me to look at send me a note and I'll promise to take a look when I get a chance.

You can't take the sky from me...I have *finally* discovered Terragen, and am having a lot of fun with it. These are early days of course, and I realise I have much to learn. I'd like to publically thank: ZippoFlame3D, dadrian & Destructionist whose tips have been extremely helpful in helping out little old noobie me.
I have also discovered Firefly, Joss Whedon's prematurely cancelled Sci-Fi series. Why are studio executives such harbingers of evil? Why did such a a brilliant show have to be nipped in the bud? They could at least have let it run for a full season before axing it.
After much trepidation, I have agreed to play the piano at church once a month to accompany the singing. I have done it before, twice, and both times I felt like I was a dismal failure. I'm competant wehn playing alone, at home - but in a context where other people are relying on me to get it right I fall to pieces. At least they have promised that, to begin with, I'll be able to choose which songs I play.
