Ok so it's been a while since I've had any sort worth while journal entry.  It's been more than a year since I've been active on DA and there's sooo much nice artwork to get my eyes around, so I thought I'd share a few that have made me make drooly faces in the past week or two.

by   Everyone loves Goku... just maybe not as much as I do though.

by I saw this a while back when Raye uploaded it, but it's one of my favourite pics by her, just LOOK AT IT!!  Pretty.

by   I was introduced to Philippa Rice's work by the nutter above at the London MCM expo a while back and its just makes me smile

by   I am absolutely in love with this guy's entire gallery, it's beautifully nerdy (see how much restraint I used in not posting one of his many amazing Batman pieces?)

by   I've just been introduced by The Regular show by some fellow nerds and it's officially the new best thing ever.

by   CHICKEN!!  I love this image, Louise is an inspirational stop motion animator with some amazing work, I've never met anyone who has such an artistically brilliant approach to stop motion anim.

by   This (like most of his gallery) is just so damn cool.

by   I came across this by chance and I love it!  I've gotten into fancy goldfish in a big way recently and this picture just puts a massive smile on my face.

by   Jen is such a perv.... but shes's a perv who can fucking draw!

by   I could spend hours going through this gallery (I think I did the other day when I should have been working) there's so much to look at and laugh at, it's just brilliant.

by Just about the nicest person on DA ever.  Fact.  Bow she's just showing orf by blatantly being good at everything though....

by   Kei always does really nice work but this is one of my favourites by her.  She's having her baby soon so go and show some love!  xx

There you go!!  A non waste of space journal with something nice to look at, drool over and aspire to.  *sigh*  back to work now.

...Seriously, already nearly the end of August?  Someone is taking the piss here....

I've never done a web comic before!!  I don't know what I'm doing!!  I'M IN OVER MY HEAD!!!!!

:icomthedreamwolf: informs me that 6 years ago today I was avoiding real work by signing up to DA.  If I remember correctly and wouldn't leave me alone until I joined, so I did, to keep them happy.

Hellooo,

Some people may have noticed that after a rather long and rusty absence from DA, I seem to have started bombing my gallery with pics relating to this 'Little Samurai' thing I keep going on about.
To go into slightly more detail, without boring anyone else or myself, I have recently gone back to university to take a masters course in Animation.  I was really lucky to get a second chance to go back and make up for all the time I feel I lost.  I'm also finding that perhaps Im in a much better position now to study than I was the first time around, I grew up a bit and have more of the confidence and focus that was completely alien to me a few years ago.  I can also draw a bit better too!  That helps.

Aaaaanyway, enough Blah, 'Little Samurai' is the project I am basing my course work on, hopefully by this time next year I'll have a lovely short film to prod everyone with and a crap load of illustration, concept and web comic stuff for people to yay or nay at.  

I'd love and appreciate anyone and everyones input and comments (constructive criticism always preferable to "LOLZ your art is teh SUK" but as some global super power likes to say, every little helps.

I'll be posting progress work on here, of course, as well as actually uploading new artwork from here on in, hey Im paying for a sub, I might as well use the bloody thing, but as well as my online portfolio I've started a Little Samurai folio, too, just to try and look posh.

With all that in mind, thanks to the wonderful and deadly DeSpon (Raygirl to all you mortals) for LS's first piece of fan art!
OK....friend art,
*GUSH!*
