Slaughter of the Wild Horses

Journal Entry: Thu Dec 10, 2009, 7:51 AM




Take A Look


"Disappointment Valley" documentary trailer.

Bringing this to your attention, if you haven't already heard. The treatment of these animals is wrong and repulsive. They don't have any rights; they possess nothing but their lives and the land they walk on, and we're taking both. We seem to have forgotten how much we owe to their willingness to be tamed and to carry us on their backs across vast lands and in the face of danger. Do we really want a world where the only horses that exist live in barns? Do we really want to lose our last remaining links to the true nature of these animals?

Maybe you don't agree with me, but the more people who know about this issue, the better.

Watch the Trailer.

Everlee Livejournal *edit*

Journal Entry: Thu Dec 3, 2009, 9:13 AM




*Update: I've added some sketches to the LJ and will add more as I find them! Takes a while to go through all my files and folders. haha.*

Read On, Fair Watchers!

I know I've been really quiet lately and haven't uploaded very much art...particularly Everlee art...particularly new pages of said Everlee art. This is because I've been really, REALLY busy working on other things that I feel are more important right now. But when I'm done with that, I will shift my focus back to the comic, not to mention the art I still owe people.

Speaking of the comic, I've decided to start taking some steps toward Everlee-specific websites. Making an actual official website is way, way in the future [read: time/funds] but I HAVE made myself an Everlee Livejournal, as inspired by *whisperpntr. Eventually it'll be where I post Everlee related news and updates, and dA will be more of a vessel for my horse art in general. I'll probably still post finished pages here, too, though.

Anyway, here it is: [link]

If you have a livejournal, add me!

Thanks guys! :love:

First Kiriban Over!

Journal Entry: Mon Nov 2, 2009, 12:58 PM




**EDIT: Whoa! Those last few pageviews went by fast! :faint: Well there ended up being three people who caught it at the same time, which I thought might happen...I was originally gonna try to figure out exactly who got it first, but in lieu of the fact that I haven't uploaded anything in so long, having three small prizes to do should help get me back in the swing of things. :meow: So congratulations *Gatekat, *Galanty, and ~KatWithKnives! You've won yourselves some free arts!

Thanks everyone for making the kiriban fun! And keep your eyes peeled for the next one: 444,444!**

Just For Fun


Silly little quiz thingy! But also, reminder that the first kiriban is coming up!

Remember, the first person to send me a screen shot (in a note, if you please) of 400,000 pageviews wins!


And now...the quiz thingy.:meow:



Why did you join this site?
Because the Elfwood Moderation system is more trouble than it's worth. I liked how you could upload whatever you wanted here, without having to wait two weeks only to find out your picture "was rejected."

What does your username have to do with you?
It's from Lord of the Rings, when Frodo passes into the West, describing what he saw: "...the grey rain-curtain turned all to silver glass..."
Originally I wasn't serious at all about Deviantart - I just got an account here so I could upload things, as I said, without having to wait through Elfwood's Moderation queue. So I just made my username the same as my then-current email - hence the 19, which is my birth day.


What is your current icon?
My main OC, Adelais. Blink blink!

How many watchers do you have and how many people are you currently watching?
I watch 231 people; 5,119 people watch me. Whoa man!

Do you have more than one account?
Yeah: :iconizzebo: is my non-horse art account, but I don't update it much because...most of my art is horse art. ha!

Name 3 of your favorite artists on DA.
:iconkatiehorse: :iconsandara: :iconpallanoph:

What deviantS do you admire because of their personality?
:iconnoodle-monster: :iconmeelz: :iconwhirl-wind: - but they are fantastic artists, too. :)

How many people on here do you actually know in reality?
None, but I feel like I know :iconnoodle-monster: in real life. She is my cuddlewumpus.

Do you comment, fave, or both?
I try to always comment when I fav.

What do you typically post on deviantart?
Stuff related to my comic, Everlee, or commission things. I wish I could post more random stuff, but I feel guilty whenever I work on something that isn't one of the aforementioned. :B

Do you participate in clubs or contests here on DA?
Not really. Sometimes I participate in contests when friends hold them, or when the prizes are juicy enough. :lol:

What is your most popular deviation?
Most viewed:
Most faved:
Most commented:


What's your favorite submission in your favorites gallery?

I couldn't choose, so I went with ONE of my favorite favorites. :meow:


What are the things you wish you could draw better?
Human faces. They are hard. O_O It's so easy to get the proportions wrong...

Are you a subscriber?
Yep!

How many hours a day do you spend on DA?
Less than 1? I don't spend a lot of time here unless I'm making a journal or something *pointed look*. :|

Are you a fast, slow, or medium typer?
FASSSSSSSSSSST!

What is your favorite emoticon?
:la: by far!

What is the most annoying thing people ask you?
"Can I post your art on my blog?" *facepalm*

What is the most annoying comment you get?
The only comments that annoy me are ones where it's obvious they didn't bother to read the 'artist comments.' :/

What inspires you?
Stories. Telling them, being told them, illustrating them, coming up with them. It rulz.

Do you use any traditional media?
Mostly just sketching. If I had time, I would get back into painting, though.

Have you ever suggested a Daily Deviation?
No. I've seen deviations I WANTED to suggest, but I am - how do they say - too lazy. Sorry guys! :dummy:

Everyone has considered leaving DA once or twice. Have you? Why?
I've never considered leaving dA. I've taken breaks because of school, but I've never "left." I'd only ever leave if I ended up making my own private website or something. For now, dA suits me just fine.

THE END!

Kiriban + Commissons Soonish + Geez

Journal Entry: Thu Sep 24, 2009, 7:49 AM




Kiriban


I haven't done a pageview kiriban in ages! So I've decided to do two this time. :D The first will be for 400,000 pageviews exactly. The first person to send me a screen capture will win a free picture from me, one character/minimal background ( [link] ) -OR- a blinking avatar ( [link] ).

The second kiriban will be for 444,444 pageviews exactly. The first person to send me a screen capture will win a free picture from me, one character, full background ( [link] ) -OR- an animated avatar ( [link] ).

For those who don't know, a kiriban is a fun little game where you get a gift for reaching a certain milestone. On deviantART, typically the artist gives the gift to the first person to screen capture that certain milestone, so keep your eyes peeled!

Most computer keyboards have a "Print Screen" button up in the top row, by the F12 key. Usually you just press that button, then go into Photoshop or Paint or something and hit "copy/paste." Then upload it to dA in the "devious fun" category, or upload it to Photobucket (or similar), and send me the link. That's all you have to do! :)



About Commissions



The vast majority in the recent poll voted for "More Everlee Pages," and I absolutely intend to make Everlee-related things my first priority. But I also would like to semi-open my commissions at some point in the near future.


What I'm going to do is open up 5 slots for one character/minimal background pictures ( example: [link] ) which are $20USD each. By making it something specific like that, I think I'll be able to get through them more quickly (full backgrounds slow me down bc they can take a long time and are generally intimidating).

Repeat: Commissions are NOT OPEN right now.

I'm just giving you guys a heads up about what I was planning. So if you want a full background commission from me, this won't be the time to try to get one. But if you'd be interested in a one character/minimal background, stay tuned!



Geez O Petes...



What's with this recent epidemic of dA artists SUDDENLY LEAVING OMG, and then coming back after two days? Really?

If you need time away, take it! No one's going to get pissed if you disappear for a while (unless you owe them art, haha). But this "Goodbye forever" thing is getting irritating...9 times out of 10 the artist ends up coming back as soon as everyone's done telling them how awesome they are and how missed they will be. :/

So yeah, what's the deal? Can we stop being so dramatic, k thx?

Now! Check out the new featured artist below!
Oh and take a look at the Shoutbox for a new game. :meow:

Adoptables-2 *RESULTS*

Journal Entry: Sat Aug 29, 2009, 6:44 PM




Yowza!


Wow, thanks so much everyone who took part! In all there were 61 applications for 6 designs, so you can imagine how hard it was to pick! You all did such a fantastic job on your entries, too.

I really hope that those of you who didn't win a design still find a way to keep the character you created--you could easily tweak the designs into something new, or change them entirely! I'll be making more adoptables eventually, as well. So keep your eyes peeled for that, if you'd like to try again. :aww:



And the New Owners Are...


Original.


~*1*~
by :iconnoasar:
I really like the concept--taking the prettiest design and making it the least pretty character. Very interesting!

~*2*~
by :iconyamikatt:
I'm glad I agreed to let ~YamiKatt turn him into a bacabello. He turned out beautifully and is a very well developed character!

~*3*~
by :iconflareandicicle:
I love the story behind this mare, and I look forward to seeing the design in *FlareAndIcicle's comic!

~*4*~
by :iconjullelin:
Beautiful, energetic, happy. Wonderful envisioning of the character. I hope to see much more! ^_^

~*5*~
by :iconbrookescuzzi:
Cool backstory, and I love his ability! Yay wolfie. :3

~*6*~
by :iconchibigunn:
Another very good backstory, with a very interesting and dramatic ability! Lots of potential for story here, well done!

---

To the six of you: Remember, YOU are the owner now. You don't have to credit me when you draw these characters; they are yours. And if at any time you decide you no longer want the character, you can give the design back to me and I'll find a new owner. :aww:

Thanks! This was fun. :D
