Do you want more tutorials?

So, I'm finally clearing out my gallery. Well, what's happening is that I'm moving a lot of things into my scraps folder that really don't need to be in my main gallery anymore... and I'm finally going to actually delete the 'stored' deviations that have been making my gallery look like it's got enormous, ugly potholes in it, and which have caused a few people ask why they're there, etc etc. Truth is that stored deviations never used to be a problem back in the mists of the past, because they just didn't show up at all. But NOPE, along came one update and instead you get some kind of weird placeholder instead. I used to use the storage system in order to preserve comments that I might want to read again on deviations that I no longer wanted to have in my gallery, but it's not worth it if it's going to create ugly placeholders that will annoy people who are browsing my work. Also, I've looked back at some of the old pictures and... yeah. I don't want to see these again.

However, for your amusement, I am going to provide one last look at some of these, erm... interesting first deviations here. I think you will agree that they are beautiful and far, far better than my current work. Cough.

First up... ANATOMY ABOUND! It's one of my very first pixel things, from about 9 years ago! AND IT'S HORRENDOUS:







Next up! It's... oh good grief. No. I can't do it. Sorry. That one is all you're getting. And you're not getting it for very long either.


Anyway, as the title suggests, I was also going to ask about tutorials. Basically I hate the sight of my old ones, but I've run a poll on this before and everyone insisted that they were fabulous (are you all drunk?) and that I keep them... or update them. The tutorials have been a source of angst for me for many years because I don't get any income from them, or rather attention towards my other work from them... but I do like to help out and the old techniques I show in my ancient-history tutorials are actually embarrassing. So, just to put it out there:

If I WERE to do another tutorial, what would you want to see?




This beautiful, not to be missed (cough) 250,000th pageview whatsit is still going on by the way!

As you can see, I have fewer than 1000 pageviews to go before I reach 250,000!

Unfortunately, I can't offer you a kiriban picture whatsit because I only work for money... but if you DO get my 250kth pageview, I will do the following:

  Choose 5 pieces from your gallery to feature in my journal

  Provide amusing captions for these featured pieces _{even if the picture is not supposed to be amusing - sorry}

  I will provide constructive criticism/sarcastic, sugar coated lies (your choice) on said 5 pieces of art _{if the art requires no constructive criticism I will provide sarcastic, sugar coated truths. Or even lies if you really want. Like I could tell you how amazing the colour is when you clearly haven't used colour. Or how much I like the dog when there isn't a dog.}

How can you possibly turn that down?

If you get said pageview, screenshot it and upload it to your scraps, then send me a link!
