Wow, has it been that long?

20 years ago on DeviantART, I joined this little website back when it was 3 years old. Back then, I was part of the Fairly Oddparents fandom (before it became a zombie franchise), and all I had at the time was MS Paint and copying logos from movies and shows. 20 years later, the FOP fandom is a shell of it's former self, many of that fandom's faces since moved on to other things or left DA and/or the internet in general. However as fandoms changed, I remain.

Over the years, I went from MS Paint to pencils and Sharpies to Copic Markers, as well as went from fanart to original art. I survived a monsterous hurricane, a flu infection, and faced a pandemic over my years of being here. I also survived the Jark controversy and the Wix purchase as well, and I am still here. In many moments good and bad, I never left DA for the past 20 years in my DA career, or DA life, more of a life than a career really.

As I look forward to the next 20 years here, I hope to create comics and stories more often after I had recently slown down due to many factors, one of them includes blowout from the now-defunct DeviantUniverse group, in which drained me for years due to overwhelming doing a lot of stories that drained me. Regardless of how much I put art in or not, I would like to thank my friends, past and present, for being there for me as the years gone by.

Here's to another 20 years, and the best is yet to come!

From now until the New Year, I am offering $10 commissions on colored pics! Yes, $10 commissions!

Rules remain the same, but for a limited time, commissions will be $10, that’s $15 off!

As usual, PM me for details.

Acaciathorn is doing requests!

Be sure to read her rules and honor them. She's a very skilled artist.

As for 13 Days of Halloween 4, the personal challenge I was going to do, but was overwhelmed with other things, I'm happy to report that it WILL TAKE PLACE!

It's that time again!

The pumpkins are brought out, the spider webs are woven, and the ghosts and ghouls stalk the night! In other words...HALLOWEEN!

And this year while reality is dealing with a virus, in the world of DA, Halloween is still going on! And this year, Jessie is opening her house to a bunch of very special guests for her Halloween Costume Party! And you and your OC's are invited to the festivities!

Because this party is taking place inside Jessie's house, there are ground rules that the guests have to respect:

1-New art only, no older art. The Art can be done in the form of digital or traditional art.

2-Participants can draw up to four entries. The amount of characters is up to the artist/artists.

3-Characters must be in costume, this is a must. After all, it's Halloween!

5-If you're drawing someone else's OC, you must have permission from that OC's creator. It's common courtesy, you know.

6-You can picture Jessie's living room as whatever you want. Make sure it has Halloween decorations. You can also have your entry/entries take place outside of Jessie's house.

7-Jessie must be in costume. A reference will be posted. Also, an art jam logo will he provided as well.

8-All entries must be submitted by Halloween night, and can be posted in the comments section of this journal or mention me on your entry/entries. No extentions will be made. And have fun!

9-This art jam ONLY FOCUSES on ORIGINAL CHARACTERS. This means no canon characters, unless if they're the subject of a costume an OC is wearing. Also, pics drawn from other artists WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. You MUST draw your entry/entries on your own. No screen caps, no tracing, no Photoshop edits.

UPDATE: I know I submitted my stuff late (been busy on Halloween), but it's there! And so, with the spider webs taken down, the pumpkins are thrown out, and the ghosts and ghouls have left the Earth. Thus, Halloween is over, and the party is done for the year. Thanks to one person who did contribute. Hopefully, more will join next year, once the world goes back to normal.
