The most overdue journal yet
I've been horribly absent on here lately, I know. I spent about two hours today catching up with comments... whew! :faint: And I still have thousands upon thousands of deviations to go through as well.
I do have reasons for my absence, though! Two months ago, my arm suddenly started hurting. It turns out that sitting at a desk like normal people, with my tablet or drawing pad in front of me, screws up my arm. So I couldn't use it at all for about a month, and then it started getting better. I'm almost back to normal now, but it's been sloooow. And I've been saving up the not-sore time for my commissions and other work, which I'm lagging behi
Go 'green screen' for solidarity with VFX artists!
The film "Life of Pi" recently won an Academy Award for visual effects, but the artists behind those have little to show for it. In fact, 250 of them were laid off when their company, Rhythm and Hues, had to file for bankruptcy.

This isn't fair at all, and the protest over it is going social now. People all over Facebook and Twitter are changing their avatars to green as an expression of solidarity with the VFX artists who deserve a lot better than what they're getting.

So here's the challenge:
Create a colour drawing or painting using only colours, no black. That means no black pencil/paint, no grey pencils, no charcoal, no graphite, no black paper. And you have to use several different colours, or at least different shades of the same colour; drawing
Quick update, giveaway, and contest winners!
I've been really remiss in posting and commenting around here, I know. Life has been hectic. Some of my family members went nuts, and I wound up spending FAR too much time looking at legal documents and reading up on German law. Protip: never do this. German law is some of the most boring, awkwardly-phrased literature you'll ever find. :roll:
So I've had fairly little free time. Things should hopefully relax a little now, though, and let me get back to looking at everyone's gorgeous art! I have over 50,000 messages in my inbox right now. :faint: If I've missed anything that I should really see, please please tell me!
To make up for my lack
