"Now c'mon guys, we all knew this day was coming!"

TL;DR: Non-Eclipsers: If you love your current page decorations, find a way to save them and adapt them to your Eclipse-ified DA profile for when the inevitable change comes in May. This includes your Pride Flag widget from 2017 and whatever you have in your Custom Widgets, Core members. Stamps, pagedolls, and small pixel dacorations are going into obsolescence. Be warned.

Long Version:
So with DA's official warning of retiring the old version of the site and having everyone use Eclipse indefinitely, I know some people are likely gonna bail, and that's okay. 

I'm also hopeful that a number of you will stay. I know I will, and I also know people who are already used to Eclipse and how to navigate it, and still use DA just fine. I actually like a lot of Eclipse's features, it just feels clunky compared to the old site and once I first recieved warning from another user last year that we were gonna get Eclipse forced on us forever, one of the first thoughts was a promise to keep using the old site for as long as possible because once the nostalgia kicks in, I don't wanna regret not having used the old site enough.

That said- some of you already know and some of you might not know that not all of your previous page decorations will show up in Eclipse. If you actually care about that sort of thing and want to preserve some things such as the Pride Flag widget or stamps or Ko-Fi buttons, I would suggest taking screenshots of these things and utilizing the html code for inserting images as much as possible:

Or if you have your own solution, that's great too. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

I really like the movie Hoodwinked! and its characters a lot.
I also like to write my favorite characters into comics starring characters of my own.

Tagged!

13 min read
Tagged by:  Proferis  OMG thank you so much nobody ever tags me in anything anymore!

Rules:

1.) You have to post the rules.

2) Answer the Questions and make 12 New ones.

3) Choose 12 People.

4) Tag those people.

5) Tags Back are allowed.


Questions:

 1.) Do you like K-Pop? If not, what type of genre do you listen to?
Yeah! I only know two K-Pop artists off the top of my head (2NE1 and PSY), and their music is really fun to listen to!

2.) What medium/media do you use? Where do you buy them?
I mainly use pencils, pens, and colored pencils on plain-ol' copy paper. Crayolas and Cra-Z-Arts (if I ever buy the latter again with how quickly the pencils change hues- by which I mean that two pencils with the same color name from two boxes of the same size bought at two different times will be manufactured with different-colored leads... like a certain Periwinkle pencil I know...) as well as the Bic mechanical pencils, the Pilot G2 pens, and the copy paper you can get at just about any grocery store (I'd recommend Walmart because they have the best prices for these things). Prismacolor pencils I get at smaller art shops (my local one is a Jerry's Artarama in central Austin, but there's also Asel Art Supply in Fort Worth)

3.) Do you enjoy school classes?
The school classes I've enjoyed most are the ones involving me sitting in front of a computer listening to music on my headphones.

4.) Have you ever watched a tutorial without doing it?
Oh yeah. I'll see something cool or fun-looking on Youtube or wherever and just watch it for fun.

5.) What is life in your country? How can you describe the situation of you, as an artist, in that place? Is it terrible?
Ah, 'Murica, where you have to pay lots of money you may or may not have to be up to your eyeballs in assignments and college debt. Healthcare is expensive as hell and your shit wages that haven't gone up in years can barely cover it unless you win the job lottery or get enough raises to get by. The rich own houses that nobody lives in while those that can't afford living arrangements are out on the streets. We're replacing beautiful landscapes with more corn to add to our countless products, and I literally could not dream of venturing out to live by myself without my mom and brother to pool resources with to get by.

6.) What kind of art do you like? Cute, happy, angsty, morbid, what?
Vivid, colorful, neon, well-drawn, hyper-realistic, 3D, 2D, cartoony... subject matter involving dragons, the Chaotix, Hoodwinked, or just other characters in general.

7.) If you were to choose in real life, would you rather a.) pursue your passion ( medicine, science, dressmaking, arts, sports, teaching, etc. ) or b) follow your parent's dreams. Please state your reasons of choosing either of the following ( if you want to. )
Much rather follow my own passions. Life's too short to let your dreams get suppressed by naysayers!

8.) How do you spend you time in vacations and breaks?
Heh- depends on where, for how long, and what all I brought with me. 15-minute breaks at my current job are spent eating and catching up on Pokemon GO and Twitter,  vacations over a week long I'd need to make sure to have my laptop, drawing supplies, and a camera.

9.) If I were to tell that I envy you, how would you react?
You do? What exactly do you envy about me?

10.) If you have the chance to be reborn after you die, who or what would you want to be?
An animal so I wouldn't have to worry about jobs or bills or getting up to follow a grueling schedule. Nope- I just have to worry about humans destroying my home or my food source or hunting me. I'd totally be a wild horse or maybe something that would hibernate in Winter.

11.) Do you believe in the supernatural?
Ghosts, definitely. And stuff like forces of the universe working together to ruin the lives and plans of other people, most definitely...

12.) Would you rather hurt someone, or hurt yourself? ( very personal I know )
Really depends on the situation here...

I want to make this next year more productive, art-and-posting-wise. Looking back, each year has become less artistically productive than the last since 2015, and that makes me sad. I have so many projects: some, like my comics, could take a lifetime to complete- and I spend so much time complaining about how tired from work I am or how hot/cold it is in my room that a whole year goes by with very little art to show for it, and that only means I'll have fewer things completed by the time I die. I want to turn that around.

I also want to extend a thank you to those of you who were with me this year and through past years, be it through birthday wishes, comments, favorites, making it to and watching my irregularly-scheduled monthly livestreams, or even commissioning me to make art for you. I feel bad that- for one reasoner another- I haven't been posting often enough to keep up with any demands or hold one's attention for very long, and I just want to thank those of you who have stuck with me, one eventually-posted comic page or piece of Hoodwinked! fanart at a time. :p

I'm not fast, I'm no expert, I don't usually obsess over or draw fanart of the more popular/mainstream fandoms, let alone NSFW fanart, I'm not even on the NSFW market (well I am, but I wouldn't be caught dead drawing some of the kinds of things I see other people craving), but despite all of these things I still dream of a larger and steady fanbase. I want to thank those of you who have helped with that.

TLDR; I'm going to make and post more things this year, and I want to thank those of you who have continued to offer your feedback and support through the highs and lows.
