Now I remember why I haven't submitted any artwork to my account on DeviantArt in so long. Art thieves selling other people's work as their own. Forcing wonderful artists to destroy their artwork with large ugly or pretty watermarks. Which I will do too, should I get around to hooking my printer to the laptop I now have because my PC still isn't working.

I'm still reluctant to put anything on DeviantArt. I had plenty wallpapers made so long ago but were taken down due to the images from movies or what not being copyrighted or something else... I can't remember, its been years. Doesn't matter whether one has permission to use images from films and such to make wallpapers for commercial use only, for desktop, not sale, it'd still be taken down. I didn't mind... I wouldn't want to go against DeviantArt's rules or get in trouble... so I haven't bothered with posting wallpapers since. Took the fun out of it, wallpapers are instead on photobucket, websites and blogs for free use.

Finally got a Wacom tablet, now I can start putting Photoshop 7 to good use. I'm rusty and relearning how to use that art program. I can't make complicated artwork with intense details like a lot of artists on here. I'm more a simple artist, still needing to learn shading and clothing drawing. I just won't pose my original works due to thievery lately.

We'll see about it... I am having a hard time deciding whether to keep or close my DeviantArt account due to lack of posting my fanart or any other creations. I might just keep this for commenting and rating other people's artwork and post journal entries whenever I have something to say.

The Spike Spiegel [3rd] plushie fanart that I have on the site is just one of the few favorite characters I have made and only the first colored. I have half a mind to revamp that Spiegel plushie into better. Perhaps I may post mini images of the B&W plushies and watermarked onto the site because they are just too cute not to get posted.

The other plushies fanart characters I made are: Sephiroth [1st] and Cloud Strife [2nd] from Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children. Maester Seymour Guado [4th] from Final Fantasy X. Prince Nuada Silverlance [5th] from Hellboy 2: the Golden Army. Arucard [6th] from Hellsing anime series.

And many more as I plan to create these characters: FF2's EMPEROR PALAMECIA. FF6's KING EDGAR and SETZLER the gambler. FF7's VINCENT VALENTINE and ZACK. FF12's VAYNE SOLDIOR. DRIZZT DO'URDEN. X-Men's GAMBIT, WOLVERINE. SG-Atlantis's WRAITH STEVE. Sandman's DREAM KING MORPHEUS. VAMPIRE HUNTER D. Legend's DARKNESS. Labyrinth's GOBLIN KING JARETH. SESSHOMARU and INUYASHA. Gargoyle's GOLIATH. Death Note 2's REM the Death God. Duelist's SAD EYES. The Mummy's ARDETH BAY. Western Shinma LARVA. Castlevania's ALUCARD. Lunar's elven mage GALEON and CAPTAIN LEO. Into the West's CHEYENNE CHIEF PRARIE FIRE. R.O.Lodoss War's BLACK KNIGHT ASHRAM. PHANTOM OF THE OPERA.

Lots of fun ahead eh?!

Anyways... enough ranting. Gotta get ready to go shopping.
