Is no longer a concern of mine!

Hello lovelies! How are you? How was your holiday/new year experience? There's a feature thing happening at the end of this journal full of personal ramblings, so feel free to skip to the bottom if you'd like!

Changes, changes, changes! Chronologically, I suppose, I've decided to undertake a scary prospect. Get a day job and use every spare bit of time to create! Writing, art, dancing, everything I can, I will. Because physics? Not for me. Don't love it as much as I need to for the hell of grad school. So I'm looking for a job. For a place to move. Philly is currently one of the top contenders. All I need is a tiny apartment with electricity. I won't have my car. I'll walk everywhere. I'll continue to be vegetarian (or close enough, curse you deliciousness of sushi!). I'll take a little room and make it my home, rather than what I did for the last year and a half, live in a room and treat it like a hotel.

Anyone looking for a roommate? Know a job opening in Philly? Or selling a tiny, not-overly-expensive apartment? Anyone? Anyone at all?

Speaking of, anyone in the NJ area want a pair of rats? They're the nicest boy rats ever, super friendly, will give nose rat kisses, and will happily greet you when you walk by. Come with a giant cage so they can be happy and at home in it, a crapton of toys, and a starter kit of food and bedding and everything you'd need.

Next next next..... Ah, yes. I feel I should mention why all my free money is not spent going to conventions anymore. It's spent going to swing dance events instead! Because I am obsessed. With good reason, but I'm going to try and find a balance between my love for the two, and the way I spend my money.

Speaking of art, I find myself constantly searching for inspiration. The things that used to work years ago have somehow lost their luster, and no one is sadder for it than I. So, please, if you comment, many recommend an artist on dA that you find inspiring? It'd help me so very much

Last but not least! You! I'm doing one of those "first 10 people to comment get a feature in this journal" things because why not? Stolen from TheCrowchan , a most amazing person of amazing, and I'll update the journal once I have the 10 features written out!

RULES!
1. For each of the 10 first people answering this journal, I will post their avatar and the three deviations I like most from their gallery on the list!
2. If you answer, you have to do the same in your journal, putting the tagger on the first place. The idea of this is not to get a free feature, it is to spread art around for everyone!

To start off, and not counting towards the 10, the inspiring lady herself!

1.
Because wow, awesome! I love the expression and the way the shading is done, and the incredible amount of attitude coming from that drawing. Outfit design and the curve of that leg! Made doubly awesome because I remember Crow from years ago when we first met and I love seeing her improve - this work immediately had all of the things I loved about her style, but also a clear and easily seen proof that she's leveled up.

Mature Content

Because expressions! Because faces and characters and punching Hitler! Subdued coloring and gradients and ORANGE. It's hard to pick favourites from an entire gallery, and I'm not quite sure what prompted me to do this particular work over any other - I saw it in the thumbnail and thought it awesome, opened it up and was proven right. That's reason enough for me!

3.
So, this is in the middle of an entry, in the middle of the tournament, in the midst of EVERYTHING. If you're not familiar with Survivor: deviantArt, then my words to you are simple: Go. Go now. Go read everything still up. You'll see why I picked this page, plain as day. Don't read the rest of this description right now because spoilers.
I remember S:dA very, very clearly. I remember the characters and friends I cheered for, the stories I followed fanatically, how much I loved every entry, every artist, every story line. However, this right here is the first thing that comes to mind any time that tournament is mentioned. The last few panels of this page are so iconic to me that they've forever molded themselves into association with every part of that tournament. The idea that Hunter would be possessed by Endling 's sins was astounding. The way they manifested to help him continue to fight was really cool. Seeing them so well-characterized was incredibly rewarding, especially since I'd been a fan of the sins for long before S:dA took place. Those last three panels on that page were positively chilling. In every way it spurred me forward, eager to read more, to see more. I've reread that one round, those last few pages, every time I idly think about Hunter, or S:dA, or Miss Crow, or anything even remotely connected to it. I think I might have said all this when the entry first went up, but I honestly don't remember, and I'm positive I didn't say it this coherently. I love those panels, Crow. I still get shivers when I think of Hunter's last line on that page. When I see it in my mind's eye. And that makes it my favourite thing in your gallery, and rightfully so. <3
