hey folks! long time no update!
how y'all been??
sorry no new arts to show, all my drawings and paintings I do at work now, and can't show.. le frown! I wish i had a lil somethin somethin to post up.. I think I saw a tumbleweed roll thru here the other day!
Work is going pretty good, I switched positions from animator to concept artist which was awesome!! Painting in photochop all day, I never knew work could be so relaxing~ not to mention the creatures i am CONCEPT ARTING are griffins, sasquatch, dragons, etc. COOL SHIT!
relevant to my interests yes
I have been trying for the past month to write another song, (have written only 3 so far) but its real difficult. I basically have a bunch of cool riffs recorded that I like, but cant QUITE figure out the arrangement! need to really just work it until it works, yanno? heh
but all the lil parts are pretty rockin' I hope it turns out.
Another reason for no arts >>> my screen is all fucked up! check this, I recently got a new HD monitor, and instead of getting rid of my other monitor, I really wanted to try this DUAL MONITOR thing out, and it was really awesome! UNTIL i tried to watch an HD video, and then WHOA! BLUE ARTIFACTS EVERYWHERE!! it was really annoying, until I figured out to just TURN OFF the other one, and then it worked fine for watching.
Step 2 - I get windows 7! nice and sleek, shit looks nice! but now forget HD vids, now there are artifacts ALL THE TIME! even when one monitor is off.. WHAT THE FECK YO! I try to paint and my photoshop screen lags and sags and sucks. its capitol-B Bogus!
what do you think DA? maybe a graphics card prob? driver prob? hmmmm
.........................
On a far more serious note, I heard this morning of the death of former WWE wrestler Eddie UMAGA Fatu..
Umaga was a highlight on RAW for me for 2 years, where he really re-invented the BIG MAN MONSTER HEEL and showed what he was capable of. He was a huge 300 pount Samoan that somehow could fly half way across the ring with shocking grace! In todays WWE there is not much to like in the ring, but Umaga was most definately something to like and someone to watch!! When he was released this past summer i was pretty pissed, but kind of felt deep down that I knew he would be back. It certainly wasn't his first firing or suspension! He was just too talented to ignore! The Samoan Bulldozer was, for me, one of the best in the business today..
But he will not be back, his career cut short, much much too short.
I can't help but think on this past year, on all the famous stars we've lost. Umaga certainly won't be listed amoung FAMOUS STARS, but I remember feeling really un-affected when Michael Jackson or Patrick Swazye passed. No dissrespect to them, they just were not heroes of mine. I am much more saddened by the loss of Umaga, because he has entertained me far more. Makes sense if you think of it that way.. what a shame
RIP Eddie "Umaga" Fatu

Return! Backlog posting
WOW havent been here in years, do people still write journals? Posting backlog of art from the last 2 years since i last signed in, its a loooot, Hope u like it! Apologies if you left a comment or sent a note that i didnt see or respond to, its been a while! gonna try to keep on top of posting here as I finish art and not let it pile up. The online artist life kinda takes you from one site to another over the years, and I used DA less and less the more i got into tumblr, then tumblr fizzled out and i started over on twitter! Im much more active on twitter so if you need me for anything important, best to ask me over there! @vashperado on twitter. i dont see the notes here for years, and then it feels silly to reply to a question 2 years later, but i try to reply to some. Man, being here on devart is strange, takes u back. even posting a DA journal?! feels like 2009 hah do plz accounts still work? :iconcoolplz: no? lmao Well! was nice to see u again! how u been?
Thanks everyone~
Every year i am stunned~ I am never prepared for the humongous amount of bday messages when I log in here,.. I plowed through 20 pages of Happy Birthdays on my wall and really thank you guys so much! You make me feel great, and I hope you all are doin well, and have a wonderful holidays with your fam drinkin warm drinks by a fire~
Much love~

Nintendo, Video Games, Satoru Iwata, and 88
I did some reading about satoru iwata today after hearing of his death.
Sadly he wasnt a name that i knew. My knowledge of Nintendo employees was limited to only Shigeru Miyamoto..
But actually seeing it put together what he really did for nintendo was really incredible.. He really saved it!
I think it seemed that after the GameCube, that nintendo was a bit lost and had given up its seat on top of the industry..
but then Satoru Iwata takes over a sinking ship and brought about the DS, the WII and the WII-u and really turned everything around for them..
The DS being p much the only popular handheld gaming device with a loyal fanbase an

I too was saddened by Umaga's death, he was one of the best monster heel wrestlers i've ever seen!
