🙂 Awesome work, Tonus.

To which BlackKusanagi wrote, "Way to be the downer Dave. *jumps out a window to oblivion waiting below*"

I was thinking that maybe Oblivion was the muscle lady of his dreams, and she was gonna catch him after he jumped out of the window.  Sort of a fancy Hollywood-type escape, they'd jump into her waiting convertible and drive off into the sunset, happily ever…

…oh, nevermind, Tetsuko intercepted his wish fulfillment. 🙁

(tee hee!)

I selected "No Opinion" because I don't really fall on any side of the issue.  Some people do tattoos/piercings in a tasteful or attractive manner, and some don't.  It's really a case-by-case basis for me.  I don't object to them, but I don't have a problem with people who have none, either.

Lovely thick muscles on this gal!  And cute little semi-outfit!  Nice work!

She's going to be a lot of fun to, uh… develop.  Character-wise, I mean! >.<

New stuffz!

reports.

Aaaaaand the finished picture with longer-than-normal text entry…

The latest.  I hope to have several new drawings (both BW and color) uploaded over the weekend, but we'll see how things shake out.

This is the character I plan to enter in Hemisphere's Might of Maidens 2009 contest on dA.  I've got the outlines of a character bio already, and am wracking my brains for a name.  Eventually, one will come to me, that's how this stuff always works.

Gratz Jed on a Daily Deviation. 🙂

I'm glad to see this change.  Not because it may facilitate pirating of songs, but because DRM can penalize a legitimate owner when it's handled poorly.  Example– I used the MusicMatch service for about a year and purchased and downloaded dozens of songs.  When I decided to terminate my subscription to the service, my songs would no longer play (I'd get an error due to DRM) and I could no longer load them onto my MP3 player (which I discovered too late).  While it had been nice to be able to listen to and download "unlimited" music for $14 a month, any goodwill I had towards that service and subscription-based services in general evaporated after that happened.

After that I started purchasing my MP3s through Amazon.com.  No DRM, no subscription, no nasty surprises.  I've been pleased as punch with Amazon and their system for purchasing music.

The sad truth is that for people like me, DRM makes me not want to buy music.  I understand the concerns of the recording industry regarding theft, but making me suffer for being a loyal paying customer is simply counterproductive.  I pay 89 or 99 cents per song from Amazon and that's just fine.  They are raising prices soon (as per the article above) and that's just fine.  I love being able to pay a couple of dollars for only the songs I want and not paying $12 or $16 for two songs I like and 11 songs I won't ever listen to again.  And I no longer worry that I'll be cut off from the music I paid for.  DRM cannot go away soon enough.

Thanks Martin!

I did some comic book work in the early/mid 90s (small press and independent comics), but an opportunity to start a career in computers opened up and I took that instead.  I'd like to do comic work again, and am wondering if it's better to try and get published in traditional formats or just post the work on dA.

For now I am developing my dA page and I have lots and lots of stuff to scan and color! 🙂

This is a new one:
