Win a Premium Membership! [Raffle]Ohaii everyone! Chieri here. >u< Still not dead yet. Still just smelling like it.
I know I have been quite inactive the past month, alot of private stuff going on and upcoming exams, but I will try to be more active again from now on. I miss being here with you guys and drawing so much. I will try my best to at least submit something regulary and reply to all notes & comments sooner as I did lately. (I really apologize for the wait.) I promise. You may slap me really hard if I neclect it again.
As a little consolation / thank you / because I want to, I decided to raffle away 
3 x a 1 Month Premium-Membership

I hope everyone will enjoy participating. It's easy!
As usual I will use random.org to choose the 3 lucky winners, providing screens that everything will be 100% fair. 
Microsoft Employees Disrupt Wii U Best Buy EventsRemember how Nintendo was showcasing some of their E3 games at participating Best Buy stores around the country? Well, apparently Microsoft employees have been hired to go to these events and preach about the Xbox One and make comments like "why would you buy a outdated Wii U when the Xbox One is right around the corner?"
However, the employees aren't getting what they hoped for. Most customers just start bashing the Xbox One in response. Seriously, Microsoft, the people attending these Best Buy Wii U events are people who are intimately familiar with the crap you pulled at E3. They ain't takin' your shit.
At first I thought this might just be a case of one really loyal Microsoft employee taking matters into his own hands (especially since the original source was /v/), but reports have come in from numerous Best Buy's around the country that indicate many Microsoft employees have ambushed the demo lines trying to persuade people to switch to the Xbox One.
Since so many reports have com

Please Pants Responsibly (Paper Notebooks FTW)

There are two ways to write a novel.  Plotting (you make an outline, a plan, a roadmap if you will, and then you sit down and write it) and pantsing (you write "by the seat of your pants, throwing caution to the wind).  So when I get asked if I'm a plotter or a pantser, I'm all like er, uh, hold on, let me?  Pantser?  I think?  But I kind of, um, do planny things?
And it gets kind of awkward because in these inarticulate moments I have managed to confuse everyone including myself. And probably spilled a drink.
In recent discussions, however, I've had a bit of a revelation, silly as it is. I've realized that I -- like many writers -- am a plotter/pantser hybrid.  And perhaps what I'm doing is something we could call Pantsing Responsibly.  And, maybe, just maybe, I could share some of my responsible pantsing tips with other writers. Starting with paper notebooks.
Anyone can find a notebook.  If there isn't alread
The Used Game ParadigmOver the course of this past generation I've been watching the video game market react to the way it's been forced to deal with increasing changes. I've come out against used game sales and even written a journal about boycotting GameStop because (like most people at the time) I believed they were the root cause of all the problems the video game industry has. But that's something I don't believe now as intently as i did then. From where I sit, piracy and used games sales are a problem, but not in the way game companies want us to believe that they are.
Used games are a good thing for consumers. We get to try games out, and if we don't like what we see or finish it early, we trade it in and try another title instead. It's a very good system for us since video game rentals are much harder to come by. Most video rental stores in America have gone extinct and outside specific Red Box Kiosks there aren't a lot of places for consumers to rent video games. The exception, of course, being thr

SPIKE updatesJust thought I'd share with you guys some updates on the progress of finishing my "SPIKE" novel.
A lot of people have asked me how it's going, when it will be published and stuff. I really appreciate getting asked these things because it shows that people are actually interested in my writings, and that it just such a great feeling :aww:
I've got two news for you guys today though: one bad news and one good news. Let's start with the bad news.
I haven't finished writing SPIKE yet.
And I honestly don't know when it will be finished - which oddly enough brings us to the good news:
I've made a new, major decision in the SPIKE story that I think a lot of you will be happy to hear. As usual I don't want to spoil too much, but there is a part in the story where Spike and Sam are separated from each other for quite a long while. At first I was planning on only writing from Spike's point of view, like, what he's experiencing during this separation period. I figured that since he's the main cha

Does this ever happen to you?

Sun Oct 14, 2007, 1:50 PM


Has this ever happened to you? You are like, 100% sure you watched some other deviant, and then you go their page and realise, well, no...
Or is it just me? This happened to me three times in less than a month...

On other news, I am really enjoying "Pushing Daisies",  the new season of "Heroes" and recently discovered "Twin Peaks". I work a lot, and am really stressed.

And I'll be moving 50 miles away from my home town in january, I'm really excited, but it'll be a huge change for me!

En fait je pense que DA a un glitch et supprime des gens des watchlists de temps en temps par erreur. Parce que la même chose m'est arrivée avec des gens dont je suis absolument sûre que je recevais les nouveautés sur ma devwatch, et puis tout d'un coup pfuit, plus rien !

Happens to me all the time.

I wonder, too, about those people who fav, like, half my gallery, but don't watch me. I think, well, maybe they think they'll never like anything else I do, and it's only those fifteen images... and then I think maybe they just get so caught up faving stuff that they forget to click the watch button.

Wouldn't it make more sense to have the "watch this deviant" button on the image pages too? Not just on the person's main page?

I agree. Another weird thing is that I have a little over 6000 watchers, and maybe a max of 300-500 out of them actually comment and fave regurlarly I'd say... I sometimes wonder why people actually watch my stuff if they never comment or fave! :XD:

:iconmelissafindley:
*MelissaFindley Oct 15, 2007  Professional General Artist
True... but then, I'm not much of a commenter. I love to view art, and I watch... oh... hundreds of galleries, but unless something really snags me, I'll either view it, smile, and move on to the next one, or I'll view it, fav it, and move on. I always watch artists whose style or work I really like. I use my fav's to tag things I want to come back to later (either for journal features, or because I want to particularly remember an artist or piece). I'm more likely to comment on journals than anything else, simply because then there's something for me to reply to. If that makes sense.

So I guess I figure if people are watching, they're probably enjoying SOMETHING about my work. They might just not have anything to say about it.

Well, I thought you wouldn't want 6000 people commenting just to say "Great", "Fantastic" or "Another masterpiece", but then maybe I am wrong...

So I just comment when I have something worthwhile to say...

Yeah...I've noticed that also. You think you're watching someone, then you see one of their submissions in another person's fav folder and you think "Hey...why didn't I ever fav this one?" And you go to the artist's page, and you see that you aren't watching them. D'oh!
