"You may not know where you came from, you may not know who you are.
You may not have even wondered how you got this far." ~George Harrison, "Any Road"

I know, I know, I know... I was so anxious to get this on that I told everyone I'd have it on since the -beginning- of this month. Problems arose, along with actual work, and general life. Here it is, though at long last. I'm still working things out with getting the rest of the pages up for everyone. The first page is colored, and I think that I'm going to work it out this way so that only the first pages are colored. That'll give me plenty time to blaze through the rest of the pages, while still keeping a mind for detail.

To be honest, I'm a little worried about the text I used in it. I'm wondering if I could have used a better one for it or what ever else.


Other than that, I've had a GREAT Christmas.

IN FACT! This is most likely the best Christmas EVER!

This is because I have finally been given the right of passage into receiving my very own PC Tablet device.

I feel as though I've become cast as a Jedi Knight, and my Tablet pen is my Lightsaber. The feel and look of what I'm drawing is absolutely amazing, and I CAN'T WAIT until I get some real practice with it. Best of all, this new pen allows me to bypass the mess of my more conventional and traditional means of drawing.

This is a day that marks many more days to be filled with art flowing from my fingertips unlike what has ever been seen before.

I can only hope that everyone else in the world has felt the last few days to be as rewarding as they have been for me.

Let art know no bounds, nor those who's destiny is to carve and sculpt it's mastery for all to see it.

I've decided on a final name for my webcomic which I will start on some time next month. I'm currently sketching out the first chapter based on several different versions of it I've already made up on paper and in my head. I've mulled about this story since I've been 9 years old. Can you believe that? After nearly ten years, I've finally taken the time to put this character of mine to the test in a running series.

Geez, I wish I was payed for this, but then again, I'm not producing anything truly professional here yet. That's a goal for later on in life. For now, it will suffice in giving to you guys the spark of my inner creative mind.


The title that I've decided to give this series, I've actually based on a song by the band 'Yes' which is also titled "Parallels", coming from the album 'Going for the one'. The song is not a lasting favorite of mine, but I'm that much of a Yes-geek to love it anyway. The reasoning behind naming my series as such, I will retain as one of those 'easter-egg' facts you'll either have to figure out yourself, or fool me into telling you myself.

I hope not to let anyone down. Stifle//Omega is going to be one rough character out of many in this long winded series that forgoes existence as we know it... and even as we think we know it.

Honestly, I'm probably going to be on and off with this project as a whole, only because I have a tendency to be busy with several things at once from time to time.

Not only am I going to pour heart and soul into this, I'm also going to pour many influences I have in life into this creation. Even people I know will be put into this.


I wouldn't be surprised if I start rambling again like I did in the 'Like a river' journal. Part of the idea for Parallels is for it to be a chopping block for my own personal struggles, as well as struggles I see in other people's lives I see every day.

Today seems like a big day, which is why I've made it almost a point that I'm... not caring so much for it. I don't depend on people who we vote for and pay to wear a suit, and have better teeth than all of America for the soul reason of saying he can 'change' our country.

I find it more than perfunctory to place so much trust in one living person to make a country better these days, only because of how little trust was placed in our former president. It's from the last presidency that I learned what the position really means to our society these days, and it's nothing that's sacred or respected enough as it should. The presidency of good 'ol Free-Country-USA is nothing more than a position that says;

'I'm a guy with two arms and legs, and perfect teeth who can take the blame for your tax raises, and wars over seas.'


That's all the American presidency is these days because of our society, which in spite of how cynical that may sound, it's not so bad. That's because we should have more faith in ourselves, anyway. It's only a waist of time to put our self respect, our dignity, and everything we believe and stand for -ourselves- depend on someone else who's going to be payed more than we'll ever dream.

If anything in our country is compromised, it's our ability to trust in what's important, and to perpetuate the feelings that brought our country into existence in the first place; Independence. Indivisible we should stand, while individually we should exist as free people on this Earth. Individuals do not look up to anyone as superiors. No. We look to everyone else as equals, no matter who they are.

Indiscriminate, and free thinking.

We don't need to revolutionize the feeling, the belief, or the practice. We just need to live it as it was meant to.

Don't trust a Government that's payed too much already by your own taxes. Trust yourselves, the very people who give those in office the chance to sit where they do.


Nuff said.

It has been a fairly LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time since I've updated.

I haven't ignored you folks.

I've seen some pretty worthy hand drawings here and there.

I've just been letting this sit here, really.


Anyway! Great time for a belated "I'M BACK IN BLACK!!" moment.

I've been drawing up a storm since my disappearance, and I hope not to disappoint my friends and associates. I've just come in touch with one admirer in particular who has kept steady tabs on my Deviants even when I've never updated since half a year ago. This brought back to my attention how much I need to be back here updating, so HERE I AM WORLD! YES! I'M STILL COMMITTING TO THE COMMON ART FANTASY!!

And there is much to tell from my journeys on and off at what art I have seen in life, lifestyles and otherwise...


I would hope to get a good start on my web-comic some time in a few months as well.


THERE IS A BRIGHT HORIZON ON ITS WAY!! LOOK ONWARD!!! AND LET FREEDOM AND ART BRING PEACE AND LIGHT TO DARKENED HEARTS!!!

One must find the source within one's own Self, one must possess it" ~Quoth Siddhartha

Hrm... I'll leave the quote alone up there, because there is a thought process behind it that's a bit to deep and... unending that would be best not typed out, lol...

Basically, a monologue based off of the theme that Life is like a river in that all returns, an idea from the movie Siddhartha... and basically, a monologue based off of that idea would be something that would be like a river in that the flow would not end and I would type on into oblivion, rofl...

Besides that... let's get right to my update

Real Life- Soon, oh very soon I am about to get VERY busy with my job before it calls me away from all internet access from December on until spring... with this in mind... this could in fact be my last update until spring... so uh... yeah, lol....


Art Life- I haven't had the time or heart for drawing in some time...

But, it has finally come to the moment in which I consider my RPing as part of my Art... so I'm not going to speak of it as anything but, because that is in essence what RPing is. It is a part of sequential art, just like that of comics. It's really that simple (and complex )


Well, with life acting up as it is, there is too much for me to express in simple sentances thatt everyone person in the world could understand... so I'll just leave it that ^_^;




ALRIGHT THEN~!!!!

It is here that I finally announce that I am not going to wait for a club for just admiration of people's art.... I'll just make my own

I guess this could be my celebratory event for having over 100 page views...

So here goes...

The Luck of the Draw admiration for catching my eye as soon as I had come on the site.

Here is the first I will announce as my Luck of the Draw Award-ee (made up word because I'm tired right now, heh)




Luck of the Draw Award goes to those who catch my eye right as I get on DA. Right as I get on and I see one picture that captivates me instantly as soon as I click on it, then I will take the time to comment and make you feel special, and then I will go through your entire gallery and look at everything that you have put up as a fellow deviant, and I will point out in every detail I see as to why you deserve special mentioning and a pat on the back. Such is, the Luck of the Draw Award.

Congradulations to those who I have done this to in the past and the latest award receiver, ~twilightkitten13

My words of praise I have already told you in my comment on your DA site. In the future when I am more likely to get back to drawing, I will create a special pic or something for those who receive this award to be able to display it for all to see that they are truly creative and inspiring in the eyes of at least one who is the same.

I am a striving artist, and I know the troubles and plagues that most of us go through, and the difficulties and the way that we overcome them. I will commit my time on DA to try my best to give credit where credit is due.

Once again, congratulations to ~twilightkitten13

Life can be a drag sometimes... but nothing's perfect. I don't hold my breath for things too much even if

Well, naturally I'm indifferent and passive to a lot of things..

Personal Life- Just moved to a new dorm room because I had to... That's how it goes for the life of me... I'll get to you on the day that I can openly talk about my life, but until then you'll have to wait until I can trust the whole world to know. .... =_=;.... But I'm not going to take my mood out on other people. ^_^'

Social Life- I lost again the other night... Lol... I never think of anything of it though... The guys are great people to be around through the good times and bad.

Art Life- Stagnant X_X... besides my art meme. :3

RP Life- Hectic and unchanging in situation, yet changing in appearance at all times.. as such, there is no way that things can be fixed with a magic wand because it takes a type of perspective that goes beyond what people express through the words they place on the forum in which to base a 100% accurate judgment on.


ON another note, I am very happy to point out that I have finally reached over 100 page views.

Thanks a bunch everybody who contributed. I might make a celebratory deviation for this event.

People make mistakes all the time... it's best not to hold it against anyone and stay bright and positive even when it doesn't seem like you can... you never know... try putting will into your life that you never have before and see what it does for you... if it does good, and you feel good, go with it, and don't think twice. If you know better then do better as you can, but don't fret if you fall short. It's life. Live it.
