I don't know how many faithful deviants have kept up with deviant art. So I just want to say what's up to all you active with this kool community of artists.
         
     I really have the urge to start up drawing again. Though my supplies are depleting. I magae pretty well. I'm always on the look out for pencils on the ground.  Well I'm realizing that art in so many forms are clearly present in my life. I must pursue it. Till I vomit a picaso. Then I'll pursue it as my career. Art is infused in me. To me it is a message without words. And so much more. It is vast and seemingly endless through perspective, passion, and creativity.

Hi guys or to whoever reads this. just a lil update. since I last put a journal entry I got a girlfriend, was walking on clouds, got a DUI, got a job doing the design and artwork for a western themed board game, had a chance to join an art crew(one that knows movie stars and shit!), Fucked that up! broke up with my girl became homeless, Moved back in with my Mom and now I'm doing tattoos on myself. Oh and I got in to two fights and fucked both of them up!!!
Back on psychotropics. and dealing with an occasional crazy menapostal mother that snaps on any given sunday. She came home early today, found my friend here that she despises for some bullshit that happened, yet she allows my sisters boyfriend to come inside the house, that hits my sister. Mind you, he's one of the assholes that I fucked up! so that about wraps it, now I'm single and my computer is always shutting off by itself. SO I better end this before it shuts off. OPTIMUS out-

In case people wonder or take an interest in my work. I am looking for people to commission me for my art talents. I do many things. I usually do comic style with hatching and cross hatching. I can shade without hatching. I do portraits. Minimal coloring. I just don't color enough since I want to get all my lines and anatomy better. But I know the basics of coloring. Anyways I am for hire. I do work through Pay pal. I also do tattoo stuff and custom drawings. Anything you want. If you want me to draw sceanery or draw the old house you grew up in. I draw alomst anything.

Pricing: (Just something to remember)Pricing basically gos up when the paper gets bigger. As the detail will be more.

Characters; 8x10 or 9x10 Single character 15$ to 20$ USD
            Each extra character is 10$ USD
            With Back round single character 20$ to 30$ USD

Portraits: (Just something to remember) Pricing can go up concering the amount of detail is involved in realistic portraits.
            8x10 or 9x12 Single person 25$ to 45$ USD
            Each extra person 15$ USD
            Backround single person 35$ to 65$ USD
  
If anyone has anymore qustions you can note me.Thank for everthing and. Also a thing to remember, that these prices are not set in stone. So they are negotiable. But It doesn't mean that it's just a licence for people to take advantage of artists. If you have the means and hire some one for art work. You should pay what that artist is worth. I don't think alot of folks really realize just how much hard work it is for a good artist to come up with a quality piece of art. Many people don't really think or respect it enough. it is a profession just as being a navy seal is a dedicated career, and just as difficult at times but not in the same aspect. I take a lot of pride with my work and I apreciate any potential employers interest.

Ok. If all you do is draw and you want to seriously get into the biz then this is a kool competition for you. Those who like to draw in general can enter. Here's the thing. The competition is mostly for fun and improoving artistic skill with sequential art work. Here's how it works.

There will be rounds of voting such as which favorite comic characters will be fighting who? Where will be held? And even the weather condition? 2 pages of sequential works. 1 week to draw and ink them. Only drawn and inked works will be accepted. Read here for more info. optimusedd.deviantart.com/

See this is what happened. I submitted this drawing right here optimusedd.deviantart.com/art/… DA admin sent me a note here you can read it your self.

"The administrator who deleted your 1 deviation added the following:

But wait a minute, I found this one 14-bis.deviantart.com/art/Dr-P… the same character. just in a different category with the mature content just like I put my work in.   I tried to report it as a violation and a message pops up and it says under

"prohibited Content."
"Deviations that break rules and shouldn't be allowed." Then to the right of that it says. "Case Log: Prohibited Content

    * First Report: Sun May 25 2008 17:51
      Case Closed: Tue May 27 2008 12:11
      Status: Invalid
      Comment: A member of staff found no need for action upon review of this deviation."

Try it. I typed in the key words

"Kim Possible",

you know,, up at the top where it says "search art" and then you see that light gray bar across for you to type in "Kim Possible". I'm sure you guys find a lot more just as mature even more than mine. if you type in "Kim Possible" when you search for art on DA.

So in summary I'm ask for you help to protest my art with me so that DA admin will allow me to keep my image. I don't get why this should be taken off DA and these yet are ok. In the eyes of DA admin. What kind of crap is this. It is outrageous and so hypocritical!!!! Here's another look for you.

I drew this one,optimusedd.deviantart.com/art/…


And I found the rest of these is the same key word art seach,
