So browsing through some of my favorite sculptors I was shocked and disgusted to find that two of my inspiration role-models :iconscenceable: and :iconwormsandbones: had been, blunt and to the point, scammed over Etsy by a buyer and lost hundreds of dollars between them. This made me both very sad to hear of such great artists loosing their work, and furious at the person who has allegedly been doing this for 10 or so years, and so I'm posting this journal just to make my fellow art-and-crafters aware of this potential disaster.
Here is a link to :iconscenceable:'s journal containing the details and what to look for scenceable.deviantart.com/jour…
Be careful out there everyone!

So, really not much point in this- I haven't updated my journal in some time so this is a semi-plausible reason to. 
I usually go on DA at least once a day- AT LEAST, and always reply to comments (unless they're profile comments thanking for favs and watches, I appreciate your time to thank me but there's not much I can say in return). 
So I'm away for the next 3 or so days heading down south to go skiing with my family, the only catch being no computers, but hey, I've got a sketchpad and some coloured pencils so I'm far from bored! Anyway, if you do happen to send me a note, message, comment, etc I will reply to it when I get back!

*ahem* Now that I have your attention I'd just like to quickly tell you about this awesome RPG starting up (well, already started but there is another entry day soon!).
This is none other than the amazing PKMN Press Start RPG, taking place through and over THE ENTIRE POKEMON WORLD IN EVERY REGION!!!!!
This is not an OCT (Original Character Tournament) but an RPG (Role Playing Game) meaning they are the same in the sense that you make and submit comics following some sort of story, but in an RPG there are no eliminations therefore less pressure. This of course makes it a great opportunity to get in drawing practice and improve your art! (I have a lot of improving to do, check out my character if you dare...)
So yeah, we kind of desperately need more members (me currently accounting of 1/3 of them lol) so go ahead and check it out, it's really well thought out and definitely worth a shot!

Secret Santa!

2 min read
My first ever Secret Santa :D :D :D
This is for the :iconteam-kickass: secret santa this christmas- you should go check it out as it is one of the most engaging, funny and Kick@$$ Nuzlockes you will ever read!

•I want my gift to be: A single drawing/picture using any media- whatever suits you best!

• In my gift I'd like to see: My current Pokemon team- Typhlosion, Togekiss, Raikou, Dragonite, Swampert and Leafeon! I'm sorry, but I couldn't just pick one of them, they're such an awesome team and have never let me down!
-Also please no trainers or people included, just the Pokemon!
I don't mind whatever you do as long as the 6 Pokemon are there- so you can be as creative as you like!

• References: They don't have any special marking or items, and I don't mind how they're drawn or posed as long as they're all in the same pic, you can just google images of what they look like- none of them are shiny.


• I will be willing to give: I'm happy to make one Pokemon from fimo/sculpy/whateveryouwanttocallit clay and pay for postage and shipping to the receiver! After posting a picture of it on christmas on DA I will need postage info to send it!
*Edit* After noticing the amount of people who were interested in having characters made/drawn that weren't Pokemon-y I'm happy to extend my clay offer to make one of a Pokemon OR animal-based creature.
