I don't owe you this by the way But hey, since I used to frequent dA so much, it'd be rude not to.

Right, so I haven't made anything in around 4613636325q years. It'll be fine, but the simple truth of the matter is that whilst I'm at Uni, I won't be making more art. I'm in my final year doing a subject that I don't particularly enjoy, let alone understand, and if I want to pass a degree in it, then I'm gonna have to work. That and past my last few pieces, I wasn't sure that my mind or "heart" as you nostalgics would put it was in the art anymore. Bit too much too soon maybe? I dunno.

Either way, I'm going to be "absent" for another good few months, probably half a year. Once I'm done though, who knows. I may return and release some more art - I want to, but the time and motivation haven't returned. Not necessarily terraspace ( I haven't kept up with the genre since it pretty much died a death fuelled by mediocre artists making farcical attempts to recreate their idols masterpiece and pass them off as "original" using a combination of leeched textures for planets/nebulae/pigeonpoop they'd never contemplate giving due credit for but would much rather TAKE credit for and their pirated programs that they have NO intention of repaying the developers of back at any point *BREEEEEEEEATHE* - and hell, I've not even learned terragen 2 yet), and hell, it might not even be very good. It doesn't really matter to be honest because come that time, it's art for me, not art for you.

Anyway, I hope everyone else is cool. I've had quite a lot of comments/notes lately asking me where I am etc so here's your group reply. I'm fine, life is stressful but when isn't it? I still have a sexy girlfriend, I still play battlefield, and I still ramble on about crap nobody is actually concerned about. Nothing has changed, I just have priorities in a different order. Look, even my website is dead because I haven't had time to renew it, how lame is that? Nice to see that with coming close to 50million deviations in the bag this site has solidified itself as a "poop repository" - but that was inevitable I suppose, and still the same ever-present popularity-contest we came to know and loathe 4 years ago exists... also inevitable. As I said, nothing has changed.


I'M NOT DEAD, I'M JUST MIA!

Oh...

Haha, first journal of the year. No wonder people thought I was dead.

In truth, I'm too busy with uni work and various committments in order to do anything at the moment. It's thoroughly depressing but that's life. I quit my job to get more time but more work turned up, great.

Either way, I'll make more art someday. Keep watching.

Btw, cheers for the birthday wishes, I'm glad people remembered despite me being MIA.

Had a few notes as of late asking me for my battlefield 2142 ID. So if you want to know, and battle with/against me, or just for the sole purpose of hunting me down and virtually shooting me, go and look up "lolyn". Yeah that's right, I removed my first initial and just put "lol" there instead. Blame `cei-.

Long time no see it seems.

That's what Uni does to you, sucks your time away. Haven't had time for much in the whole online world at the moment, gotta plug through the work that matters first before having time for work beyond that. So the combination of my job and my uni work has indeed, slayed my presence at dA.

So yay, christmas break, some time to re-acquaint myself with a particular green website.

Just some quick updates really.

1) bought myself a new guitar amp after my previous one imploded for no apparent reason. Peavey 100watt valveking head mounted on a 4*12" peavey cab. Looks like doom, sounds a lot louder than doom.

2) Picked up terragen 2 tech preview, playing around with it and having fun. Might release one or two images but not as prints as I'm sure we all know that WE'RE NOT FUCKING ALLOWED YET _{(without the commercial license)}. So shame on anyone who's already sponging from Mr Fairclough. I have a healthy yet unhealthy desire to create another behemoth of an image, but I have a sinking feeling of the "lost my touch" business going on.

3) Selling a few prints has given me a bout of the christmas spirit. If you find yourself wanting to buy a print from my store yet the $ are missing from your digi-wallet, give me a note and I'm willing to negotiate. How's that?

4) BATTLEFIELD 2142 LOLS

5) I missed the recent london meet, but I won't make such a tragic mistake again. I'll be there next time, OH YEAAAAAAAAAAAAH



One or two more pressing matters.

I NEED CSS - and I'm talking more pimped than my previous design which was bitchin' anyway. Anyone enjoy pimping people?

and STOP sending me notes asking for me to make things daily deviation. I haven't been admin for well over a year now, I think that's arguably enough time for people to have noticed by now.



If I don't make another journal soon, or I spontaneously combust, merry christmas

Etc.

Battlefield 2142 has stolen my soul. Thus any absence from this point has hereby been explained. Join me!


"oOoOoOoOoOh! How terribly frightening!
You’re scared out of your wits, or do my little frights,
just get on your… nerves…"

LOL WIN! This is like a funk rush to my body. I know everyone else has moaned about being sent ghostly notes, but this just rocks. Tit gags rule. Wire me to the electrics, this ghost has style.




Take that Barbara! I'll css myself someday.
