So despite ~gins' most epically awesome logic and well thought-out reasoning against it, I've caved in and bought myself a subscription to this evil place. Not because I want to give Deviantart money (there are more than enough people doing that, after all) but for two entirely different reasons:

1) I want to customize the shit out of this hideous, godawful layout, because the gods know Devart has one of the least aesthetically pleasing site setups in the universe, and damnit, my CSS class hasta be good for something.

and 2) In light of recent ads showing up in the middle of people's galleries and generally making Websense at school deny me my Devart entirely, I've decided that at the very least, I deserve to be able to look through galleries--my own included--without seeing someone's ugly face on a poorly designed ad for skin product that I don't effin want.

Unfortunately, this leaves me with the usual money problem--and since I haven't said anything on the subject since August, I'll be updating my commission information fairly soon (once I find adequate examples to go with the descriptions). However, this gives you all an awesome opportunity to commission me now, before prices go up! ;D (Because, yes, in some cases, they're going up.)

Also, for anyone who doesn't know already, I will be attending Fanime 2008, and will have a table at Artist Alley, along with ~Erandir, ~gins, ~CicadaNoise, ~Jaaku-san, and of course *Loki-rei--provided we can get everything squared away, we'll be there as STFU Studio and Icarus Inc. We will have prints, badges, commissions, pins, and very likely some other goodies that I'm sure everyone will want. ;D

And on a con-related note; if anyone has suggestions for merch, or requests for the "Characters Nobody Ever Draws..." series, as described in here: feel free to leave a comment or drop me a note about it--There are NO GUARANTEES that I'll get around to your suggestions, or if you've got something incredibly specific for a print idea that I'll even do it, but I'm open to your ideas! ;D If you do make a suggestion that I wind up making a print from, however, and are going to attend the con, let me know who you are and I'll be sure to bring the original lineart as a gift--it's only fair, I think, if I'd otherwise be making money off your idea. ;D

Some probable Fanime 2008 prints include:
