So I noticed I have been posting my artwork on DeviantArt over the years as a way to express myself. I've been on hiatus on DA since 2014. I've never asked for anything in return. Except placing a donation pool on my profile but nobody ever donated (I completely forgot that was there). Until now. I don't even know if my followers are still there anymore but, I'm just going to drop my Amazon wishlist here.


I put a lot of work into my art and I don't think it got enough appreciation. So I got it elsewhere, on another website unrelated to art. I have thought about doing commissions but it never seemed like something people get paid a lot for. So I'll think about it but it's unlikely. Also I've started streaming on Twitch this year even though I had a Twitch account for 4 years. Check it out if you want to finally know what I sound like or maybe even what I look like if you're lucky.

I'm back on DeviantArt to help improve my mental health and maybe start drawing more again. All the hustle and bustle and responsibilities of the real world are getting a little overbearing for me. I remember how happy and carefree I was when I was on DA. I'm 27 now but I had my first DA account when I was 17. This is like some kind of Anniversary.

Okay, I realized I bought one year premium DeviantArt account over a year ago and during that entire year did not even use it. I don't even know why I bought it. I guess I just wanted to make my journal page and DA account page look all nice and fancy with there custum designs. Bye bye 25$.

Speaking of custum designs, I have a new blog layout  design. Worked hard on the html and css. Actually, the base code was from one of my previously made blog layouts. Check it out for yourself: purplefuse.blogspot.com/

As for submitting artwork on DA, I know I have been slacking a lot. I mean it has been almost a year since my last art submission. I just don't have as much time to draw as I used to.

Yeah I decided to upgrade to a premium account like I was a few years ago. Mainly because of all the cool layout features which I will be fixing up later. Okay I know that's a stupid reason and probably not worth $30 for a year. That's mainly all I use the updated DA version for. When are you freaking going to give us our moneys worth DeviantART!?

Anyway, that's only one reason why I upgraded. I've been out of touch with my digital art for a while and drawing in general. Cause' I'm a grown up now. Gotta make money to live. Gotta be all captialisty now. Can't make money by being a starving artist. Upgrading will help me focus more on entrepreneuring and freelancing. I want to grow more in that area. Not just so I have something to live off of, but so I can still be creative without sacrificing my soul for a 9-5 job. Not saying I didn't have my fair share of working in that type of job. I did. And it only made me realize what I really want to do in life.

Speaking of entrepreneuring, I recently added a few new item to Purple Fuse.



I'm going to be listing more of my designs are Purple Fuse pretty soon.

Oh by the way I did another Devil May Cry funny video. Yes I'm still poking fun at the new DMC game even thought I've payed it and hate to admit that it's not so bad except of the dioluge Check it out an enjoy.

I've taking a loooong break from DeviantArt. Like a year or so. I was experimenting with different things. Finding a job, going to college,working with Machinima, online marketing to make a few bucks (I'm always broke :shrug:). None of it really worked out in the end. It wasn't really something I wanted to do anyway. More like what I had to do. As soon as I started drawing again everything seemed to make sense. This is what I want to do.

So, I'm going to work on improving my skills in digital art and animation from now on. And Just because Machinma didn't pay me that well on months of animation I worked on (not their fault, they pay based on how many views the video gets, but still...), I'm still continuing my Abnormal Alliances series.

In the meantime gonna work at drawing every day, post more or my artwork on DA, and do look for freelance work to make a few well needed bucks.

Hey everybody,

Sorry that I haven't been active here for a while. I have been busy with getting ready for college, and other online projects.

I have recently just updated my video game blog  with a new layout and a cool new mascot that I created myself! You'll be seeing him a lot on my blog. I will also be posting up my own comic panels there to review or describe a certain video game. They will must likely be humors ones. Keep checking it, I will be updating it more often.
