Hello. Thanks for your (not too) recent comment on my user page. Seems I'm having trouble getting back to DA anyhow. I also tried coming back to Eve, but my piratey trigger finger and nowadays lacking patience made it tough and I found myself deep in 0.0 and quickly got bored with logistics and dying to lag.

I like your work very much! Are you a Final Fantasy Fanatic or just an easy going player of the series? I love Final Fantasy myself, holds a place in my heart ^^

Thanks!
I'm a huge fan of 7 and 8. Not so much 9, as they tried some new art which I thought was not fitting for the series.
I've not had a chance to try 11 or 12 yet, I've not invested in a new console since the first Playstation.
One of these days I will, I've been in a game called Eve Online for the last three years though.

Love your site here, keep preaching brother.
And you shouldn't be so harsh on abortion. I say we completely legalize the procedure so that democrats continue killing their offspring. (just a thought)

I love your user name Akela. All the Mowgli Stories was one of my favourite books as a child.

Thanks for the good words on Fomalhaut (however you found it is still a mystery to me), I'll try and keep you updated on how things are coming along.
Im more of a 2D-artist and Designer than a programmer really, but I suppose my friend can back up my lack of skills there, he is serious enough to study programming even after school.
By the way, does Cinemaware ring a bell?
I could swear I've seen you before.

Hey you,
I just wanted to stop by and leave you a note to thank you for adding me to your Dev watch at one point.
I have decided to leave Deviant Art for the time being, and I just wanted to let you know so you don't have a dead link on your watch. Just know that I appreciated you watching me and I hope to talk to you in the future.
Sorry for the generic message but it's going out to everyone who is currently watching me. I don't want to just "disappear" without a word.

hey man, what made you come back to the site after being gone for two years?

akela In reply to yokom [2004-08-01 20:54:30 +0000 UTC]
Well, there are a few reasons. First of all, I quit back then cause I was working upwards of 70 hours a week as a System Admin for a large company. I since got layed off, started my own company, and have a little more time now.
And I've since regained interest. Guess thats the short version.
Cheers

Hey, thanks a lot for the watch. I really like your avatar, by the way.

akela In reply to witchmedic [2004-08-01 01:43:46 +0000 UTC]
No, trust me, it is my pleasure putting you on devwatch. As a Photographer of sorts myself, I simply look at the situations your encounter in awe. These are frames of history, lives that you capture in print that may not make it home. Not many people get the chance to witness such a thing.
And I'm glad you like the avatar. 50x50 pixels is not a lot of space to work with, however I am quite happy with how it turned out.
Cheers!

witchmedic In reply to akela [2004-08-01 03:22:01 +0000 UTC]
Well, thank you very much. And yes, 50x50 is indeed a very small space. I just cropped and resized one of my photos for mine. Heh. Lazy.

It is nothing to thank me for, you have a wonderful talent, and we should all thank you for sharing it with the world.
Without a doubt, I'll be keeping my eye out for your next work
Cheers!
