It would be good for deviantart to have a way to mark someone's page when they have died.
Rest in peace, Lady Jaxravan.

Just to give everyone a heads up, Jax has passed away. The 10th of August, she died in her sleep. I am sorry for all who, like me, loved her creativity, and inspirational creations. She will deeply be missed.

*chuckles softly* I do remember you; I'm afraid I've wandered mostly offline of late, left my art in other places and let my mind go off without me, but I am still, in some sense, here. *grin* Doing fairly well now, too. You?

while revamping my gallery i noticed that you asked my permission to use one of my photos ([link] ) in one of your pieces. It was in like 2004, but i was just wondering if you ended up using it or not. just wondering.
Thanks!

*grins wryly* ...since I asked a bit before my computer crashed and I lost my stock art collection? no. I knew I'd had a great bloody-cooked-meat image but had no idea from where and couldn't find it again.

You're more than welcome - that's an impressive talent you've got there! I think you are on my list of 'people I would fly in if I had an unlimited amount of money and body paint'. I'd love to see what you would come up with using a body as canvas.

MetaphoricLullaby In reply to jaxraven [2006-02-09 14:48:41 +0000 UTC]
Wow, thank you. I think that might be the nicest gesture I've received from a perfect stranger I don't know much about body paint but I think it would be a very interesting thing to try out. Thanks again!

jaxraven In reply to MetaphoricLullaby [2006-02-10 17:41:43 +0000 UTC]
*grin* One of my favorite forms of art still involves sitting down with a handful of different-colored sharpie markers and a willing person... or with another person willing to draw on ME. Sometime, get ahold of a pen, even a ballpoint, or a paintbrush and just one or two colors of paint, and a friend, and try painting on their hand, or arm, or back, or some such. I think with your style of art you would find a flexable, human-shaped canvas very appropriate, and I think you would enjoy it. Thanks again for posting your art here for those of us who can only dream such things, not create them, to enjoy!

*blushes considerably* Thank you... although I still find it a bit odd that people end up praising m'stuff like that. I've seen too many photomanip'ers with the ability to do things so far beyond me that I couldn't even begin to compare, most of them here at DevArt; I like what I do but I know quite well it's not normally sellable or pitched to appeal to a wide enough range of people to be considered good or useful.

Well, i think your ability is really good. I donΒ΄t see too many stuff like yours at DA.
(Maybe, I can think itΒ΄s gorgeous too because i donΒ΄t know how to do even a half of what you do. :])

jaxraven In reply to oblivion-sight [2006-01-31 16:38:21 +0000 UTC]
Heh, that is one of the few things I'm proud about - I may not be able to get the level of realism or sheer fantasy that most other photomanipers get, but I do have a style that's pretty unique, even recognizeable. I've been working at it for about eight years now, and I figure another eight and I might have something actually saleable. Which would be nice 'cos I tend to take the whole 'starving artist' thing a bit too literally some months.

jaxraven In reply to UnLtD [2006-01-30 14:50:44 +0000 UTC]
*blinks, laughs* Ehh, there are a lot of photomanipers on DevArt who do way better work; I've got a knack for color selection and a decent sense of humor but technically speaking most of my work is pretty lousy (and as someone who has stared at the art for hours while it was being worked on I can't help but notice the errors and they drive me NUTS). *wry grin* Thank you though, it's good to know that the technical flaws aren't being noticed too much!
