THANK YOUUUU!

Journal Entry: Fri Mar 12, 2010, 3:20 PM

Okay, no more snowy journal skin. The snow is gone! A little bit still on the mountain though.

I just wanted to thank you guys for the awesome support for Undercover. I'm hugely flattered!

I didn't think I'd ever get 100+

s on a piece I actually still like! For those who haven't been following me since the dawn of time, I'm referring to Iron Horse:

I'm not such a big fan of it anymore, but somehow people are still finding it! xD

Thanks to *BlackHorseWords for making me a support button!

Commissions are still open, $10US for a single-horse image.

That's all folks! Have a great week, or month, or however long it takes before I decide that I have something to say that's worth a journal.

For those of you interested in my nonsensical ramblings, I invite you to follow me on Twitter [link] or check the feed on my main page like good little stalkers.

Commissions!

Journal Entry: Mon Feb 1, 2010, 3:28 PM

OMG COMMISSIONS?!

Hey guys. I've left Another Studio and I've stopped taking requests on The Secret. I'm just doing giftart of characters on The Secret and commissions. I get to do what I want in Photoshop and put more time into each piece. I feel like my urge to get everything done in one sitting has been holding me back from doing a better job. I've taken longer on my last few images and it's turned out pretty well.

Commissions are US$10, since no one keeps track of the Canadian dollar. xD Paypal is the preferable mode of payment. My account is iamsdodge@rogers.com . Note me or grab me on MSN to tell me what you want first!

I already made this for *saregona:

and this for ~runaway-muse

I've heard from two other awesome TS(The Secret) members that want to commission me. I will complete commissions in the order that they are paid for, so you could potentially jump the line if you're quick.

I won't take more than three at a time because I'm a full-time university student and my head will explode with stress.

Thanks for your support guys! I'll do my best to keep you happy.

<3 Spec

Icon contest and GIFTEH FEATURE!

Journal Entry: Wed Dec 30, 2009, 8:27 PM

LUFFLES!

Have I mentioned that I love you guys? Special props to the TS gang, you guys are great! If I haven't already made it clear, I'm taking a step back from doing requests to focus on gift art for characters on The Secret [link] that I know and love. Contest prizes too, of course! Hint hint, February will mark TS's 2nd birthday and there will be lots of contests to celebrate!

I just get this amazing feeling when people make me stuff out of the kindness of their heart. TS members who draw or make an image of my characters will likely have some surprise gift art coming their way in the coming months!

FEATURES OMG
Most of the stuff I ever get from people is because of kiribans and stuff, which is awesome! But now people have started making me GIFT ART! WHOA! I feel so warm and fuzzy inside! Lots of Khepri love going on. He's having a rough time with mare drama and injuries and all. I'll probably have a Khepri vs. Wind fight image up once I finish Spider Web's pic for *CloverGraphics. Exciting! Well, for anyone who's seen him nearly kill himself trying to get revenge.

Kiribans!

Gifts!

Oh yeah, how about that aforementioned icon contest, eh? In the spirit of never making my own icons (it's not that I'm lazy, I just tire of my own work a lot faster) I wanted to see what you lovelies can come up with! I love pixel art and drawn ones, since I suck at that stuff.

Previous icons:

Soooo...
THE BIGGIE: My dA icon. Must be 50x50 px and featuring a chestnut mare with some sort of white markings. Transparent backgrounds and/or animation = bonus points! I will use it for at least six months, probably more. I will feature you in my journal, and I will make an image of one of your characters if you have any.

THE SECONDARY: A new Twitter icon for me. It can be any size, within reason (up to 300x300 is fine), because the site resizes them automatically but displays the full-size icon on the user's page. You can do anything random, it does not need to be horse related. I seldom tweet about horses, so it's probably a good idea to go for something geeky instead. I will feature you in my journal and tweet about how awesome you are, if you're on Twitter.

All entries for either category will be featured in my journal. The top placers will have additional art from their galleries displayed as well.

Commissions are still open for USD$10, if anyone outside the TS community wants a piece done. Or anyone in the TS community who isn't on my secret shortlist of characters to shower graphical love upon. ^.^

Spec has a sub?!

Journal Entry: Thu Dec 10, 2009, 7:35 PM

Say whaaaaaat?

A huge thank you to *CloverGraphics for buying me a 3 month sub! This is so cool, I've never had one before! You'll be seeing her character Spider Web gracing my gallery in the next week or so.

Check out her stuff!

I also encourage you all to go check out the awesome new group #equimanipulate

If you like horses, enjoy making and/or admiring photomanipulations, swing on by! You'll be sure to find lots to add to your favourites, not to mention some inspiring stock and helpful tutorials!

I guess I have a lot of new stuff to go figure out on dA now! Any suggestions for my next features?

Maybe looking for a studio site

^{Hey guys...

I love Another Studio and I don't want to leave them, but I don't feel any support over there. Making images isn't easy for me, as I'm not artistically inclined, so without a support network I lose motivation really quickly. Maybe I should just keep taking requests on The Secret since I hear from more than just the requester over there, but we have a small graphics staff team so I have to keep the pool of requests small, and that means less selection for me.

I like studios and I want to be a part of one. But AS feels a little abandoned nowadays, and after all the work I've put into making images there I just... I feel unappreciated. We've not once been thanked for our hard work. Am I expecting too much? There's no community left and the admin team is difficult to get a hold of. I feel like such a tool always mentioning what needs to be done in the Cbox, but I don't know what else to do. I don't WANT it to die, but I have no power there. Even the mods can't do a whole lot.

Does anyone know of any photomanipulation studios (prefereably on an Invisionfree or Proboards platform) that is active, nice-looking and friendly? I've been invited to Insincere and I've had a look at Scythe, VOS and Imagine That. None of them grab me instantly. I'm very wary of new sites, since I don't trust admins to be as ridiculously active as I am. I'm a real sucker for gorgeous skins (especially ones not in pale grey, that's so overdone) and I feel more at ease when the power is distributed so things don't all fall to pieces when one admin gets busy and poofs. I'm a member on Surreal Studios, but I was rejected there in the past so I'm not incredibly keen to go throw myself at them again. Also their skin really doesn't appeal to me right now, and that's a big thing for me.

I just don't know where to go. I figure it might be easier to fit in somewhere where one or two people already sort of like me. Then I won't feel so invisible.}
