Closing 2008.

Sat Dec 6, 2008, 10:30 AM
So apparently I've been on DeviantArt for 5+ years now.

Unfortunately I've not updated consistently during those 5 years. It makes me pretty nostalgic though, to consider where I was when I first joined versus where I am now.

Five years ago, I was in my sophomore year of college, in a decidedly mediocre and ultimately destructive relationship, with no idea of where I wanted to be "when I grow up".

Now I've got a fantastically supportive boyfriend, a job that I love (most of the time), a great apartment, a cute kitten, and a plan. Pretty cool.

Thanks for making me think about that, DevArt. Maybe someday I'll update you more than every 6 months or so...

Your ability to illustrate birds, and bird-related animals, digitally astounds me.

You definitely have my watch!
Mind if I friend you? :>

aww thanks!
i appreciate the comment.
you do amazing work!

any way you could make a "digital me"? i attempted to make it, but failed miserably.

look at the world through the viewfinder.... does it still look as shameful and scarce?......then film, to show the world how beautiful it truly is...

Thanks so much!

I'd love to draw a digital you, but my people-drawing-skills leave a lot to be desired...

I could draw you as an animal, but most people don't think that's terribly complimentary. ;)
:iconjallenlang:
what animal could you see me as?

Well, please pardon all of the assumptions I'm going to have to make, seeing as I don't really know you... But I look through your gallery a bit and decided:

I could see you as a bird, because they're so visually oriented. They don't have a sense of smell, their touch is hindered by feathers, most can't really taste -- they see. It's what they do.

Specifically I'd probably peg you as a crow or other corvid. Not because of some cultural cliche, but because you seem to pick up on details and focus on things other people (or birds) may not notice. They're quick problem solvers, resourceful, and adaptable. Basically, they're as creative as a bird can be, without anthropomorphizing too much.

Having worked with jays/crows/magpies/ravens, they're fun and challenging. You don't "train" them, you just convince them that it's in their best interest to play along with whatever stupid thing you're asking them to do. This is generally easier said than done.

Hey, I work in an aviary -- what do you expect?
:iconjallenlang:
i accept that with a smile.

though you didn't depict me completely...you made it extremely close to who i am.

so i applaud you for that, and say thanks.
