Just six days ago I used the excuse of achieving a 300 pageview count as a way to start my first journal entry. It's almost double that number now.

Naturally, I'll be using that as another excuse to start the second entry!

After being on dA for almost a month now, I must say that the place's rich assortment of community tools is very fun to play around with. Also, some things start to become apparent:

1. Llamas are a form of friendship and happiness.

2. Apparently, everyone NEEDS a premium account.

3. By +devwatching someone, you gain the right to become that person's friend even if he/she's never even met you before.

4. Lots, lots of talent that goes unnoticed. You can have people with really outstanding pieces of art hardly getting any attention meanwhile the guy who's doing 10 minute satirical doodles is like a magnet to fame. Of course  there are many factors that affect these things, but when something's definitely tasteful and left in the dust, it's not exactly encouraging to the artist. That, and I'm referring to those that have been here for years.

5. When using the search tool to find fanart of a female someone here, I'm almost guaranteed to see bare boobs or something nawty on the first page of results. Not that I mind, but even I get surprised sometimes by what people think up. :D

6. People's webcams never actuallly show their webcams. Is it even possible to put an actual webcam feed with the functionality they provide us? XD

Otherwise, I'm definitely having a lot of fun seeing what the place is about. People are very friendly - either that, or I just haven't encountered the local troll yet.

As for how my own gallery's going, I recently released the Candice piece, and the highly experimental Erika one. So yes, still 100% Pokemon fanart. I'll get to those OCs someday! I've had a few requests coming in, and they all relate to the pokemon anime show. Up until now, I've always been doing only things that appear in the games, but since there is a polite demand (and I'm running out of girls to do), I might well expand to the other spectrum, so to speak.

And I still a need a visual for this journal, so I'll put up this man's icon for the sake of having one!: :iconimbisibol: ~Aw yeah

Lately, if you were to browse through the game fanart gallery, you would notice there was a huge influx of Megaman fanart entries for the Megaman Tribute art competition. By fitting coincidence, the above person's gallery is 100% Megaman based. Amusingly, it never actually features the Blue Bomber himself even once, but presents his foes in a powerful style which reminds people why they loved those old NES games in the first place.

The guy who I put in my last journal entry will probably be a little ticked off why I didn't give an exquisite reason of including him in the entry as well. :P

Otherwise, that will be it for this one! Thanks for reading!

4. :nod: I guess it's more about catering to the masses. Or something like that. :confused:
