I've Returned!

3 min read
Hello, all!

I'm slowly coming back to life. It's literally been three years since my last journal entry--wow. I've been through a lot since then, not all good, but not all bad. It's getting better now.

I've recently resigned from my position at work. There were so many changes and other things going on. I was tired and depressed. I'm taking time now to try to rediscover what makes me "Carmen". I really shouldn't have let it eat me up. But I'm here now, they tried to take the best of me but I won't let them have the rest of me! :shakefist: Paraphrasing on of my fave rappers NAK there.

You should be seeing more artwork soon. I want to do commissions, but we'll see. I'm going to work on dusting off and honing my skills plus making adoptables. Hopefully, I'll get more success with that. I'm good savings-wise, but I don't want to use it all up!

Thanks for all the new watchers while I've been gone and to those of you that are still hanging out here! Hopefully, we'll have fun while I try to find myself again. :aww:.

Hello


First, welcome to my new watchers. :dummy: 

Just thought I'd let y'all know I'm alive. I'm working, trying to make art and working, and working. I'll hopefully be posting after Inktober. I'm drawing a big sketch page for Danielle so that'll probably be the next piece of art you'll see from me.  

My groups are being negleted still, but busy season is over and I MIGHT be receiving a chance for unpaid leave when we go to slow season.

This section shows off some of my cute things in my other account. ;P. Some are still for sale. :aww: Some are also not cute; I've been mixing up my style. ;P Also, I've gotten into collaborating as well, so if you know anyone interested, feel free to toss me his/her name. :D

Art News

I have photography I STILL plan to post, then some plans for some art of Karnie/Dani, which if you're watching my forum posts you've seen a preview of that months ago. That's my very short list of plans.

Je suis très fatigue. :iconotlplz:

Closing Commissions


First, welcome to my new watchers. :dummy: 

Well, I'm finally writing a journal. I just wanted to say that even though I love my job, still finding time for my other loves is difficult. There's not enough hours in the day. :iconotlplz:

As a result of this I'll be closing commissions on both of my accounts. Not that I get a ton anyways, but I just don't want to take a month to finish artwork for people, and focus my time on my novel and building my skills in general for said novel. Also taking care of the groups I have here which I have been hopelessly neglecting. v.v I've gotten really behind with art and groups here. I'm so sorry to y'all who know.:iconotlplz: 

You'll still see adoptables for me, and I might have specials and customs over time. Like during vacation time I'll likely open a few slots or the like. Also, you can win art from me in Contests around as well. ;P

In the New Year Contest Winners!Hello Deviants!
Thanks for your patience and all those that took the time to spread the news about this contest. Also, thanks to kunehoGod who's been sticking around and really helping out with this group while my schedule has been hectic.
Without further ado, the winners! With them are the combined comments of myself and my fellow admin kunehoGod.
:trophy:1st place:trophy:

cutecrochetNL
This artist not only impressed us with great work, but also the sincerity and practicality of aspiration as well for the continuing year.As kunehoGod said this artist shows " real, actual, tangible plans. " Therefore we bestow first place!
:trophy:2nd place:trophy:

Kurifura
I think most artists can understand where this artist is coming from, and she so beautifully articulated it with this bright and beauiful painting with its hopeful, but anxious tone. Definitely watch this artist's work to see that movement forward in art!
:trophy:3rd place:tro



Thank you all for participating :D




Greetings Deviants!

It's been too long since ACG held a contest, and I figured in the new year it's worth just pushing forward and living up to who we are!:happybounce:

Let's End This


First, welcome to my new watchers. :dummy: 

Well, I have successfully graduated from university with honors. And the job is waiting for me. I'll be starting in January :happybounce:. The Lord answers prayer! I'll still be working on my novel, art, and ads. Plus, mom and dad bought me a DSLR, so expect photography soon too! I've been having so much fun with it so far. I can't wait for a good day to go out and photograph more things.

I've gotten really behind with art and groups here. I'm so sorry to y'all who know.:iconotlplz: I've got myself on schedule that I hope remedies that.

I have photography I plan to post, also working on commission, then some plans for some art of Karnie, which if you're watching my forum posts you've seen a preview of that. Oh, and a short satiric comic is in the works. Almost finished with that as well.

Petit peu de français

Je vais dans une nouvelle saison. Je vais travaille en janvier aussi, et Je suis content de ca. :aww:
