Backlog time.
Now comes the crazy part. I know I have missed birthdays (particularly emoticonists) the last month or so. Who had a birthday? Can you help?
Features? I have not been committing to features recently because of my dA blah mood. But I think I may still owe a couple from contests that closed and such. If I owe you a feature, please tell.
Prizes? Kiriban and contest. I do have a list, but I worry it's not complete. If I owe you a prize, please let me know. Also, I have learned that there were prizes donated to a couple of my kiris where the artist did not pay or disappeared. Please let me know about those because I feel awful and am looking at ways to make it right through another artist. (I know this includes you, Jimmy).
Emote contests and projects? I know, you peoples say I'm crazy, but I have been hesitant to join projects and such because I feel like my entries are not wanted. If you have a contest or project that you wouldn't mind my entering, let me know. Other contests, too--if emotes are welcome.
Anything else I forgot? If there's anything else important I should know, post.

Wanted that last journal off my page. I think someone got upset about my writing about my Relativity commissions because they asked a related question and then I posted that journal. It was not connected. I get a lot of flack about my commissions (not just one person) and I had been meaning to post that. My recent contest poll was what prompted to write about it, because inevitably, there will be more Relativity art coming.
Still very depressed about dA. Can't seem to shake it. Probably my own fault because of certain things I've said/done. But I'm realizing it's never gonna be the way it was and I have to accept that.
And for those wondering, my avi was blacked out for Stop SOPA, but I'm leaving it that way because I'm feeling pretty dark. So, I don't plan to lighten it up for a while.
That being said, same thing happened to me once. Everyone told me that I was over-reacting and the person that posted the whatever-it-was wasn't directing anything at me. I'd like to know why she only used screenshots from my blog and fourm then, and why all the comments were about how horrible I was/am and how I'm two-faced and all the rest of it.
Anyways, I hope you feel better soon.
You always communicate with your watcher so well
What is interesting to me also, is the fact that people make a "choice" to watch us
Hope your weekend is restful
=firstfear has some of the most lovely cute pixel creations, but she has gotten flack because she is very goth in real life and wears black and has piercings. She has pictures of herself on her page. People have gotten upset and indignant with her because they don't like her look and feel it contradicts with her art. Again, what does that have to do with anything? But people again get these expectations, these mental images of how things should be, and when it doesn't gel, they get upset.
I think it boils down to the fact most people feel that my journals should be about pixel-stuff or emote community stuff, period. They feel that if they wanted to see my other stuff, they would watch my Alt account, so why am I bringing it here. I already explained about my reasoning, since this account gives artists more exposure, but again, people feel it's unfair.
Thank you so much for your support. I know I shouldn't let it get to me.
And........
Your journals are yours to do whatever you want with them
I believe most people have expectations that are set to high and when they see something they do not understand or want to understand they become rude, unfair and their judgement is not based on facts. We all know the saying "do not judge a book by its cover" I think a new pixel art for you might be "do not judge an artist by their looks and/or cover" or "view my art not me" and I wish I could thing of something more catchy right now............. I will have to think about as I drink more coffee and wake-up!!
Freedom of expression isn't only for art work, I would think as fellow artist view our profile pages they would be accepting us as who we are, not who they think we should be or look like.
I am off to visit =firstfear profile and gallery
Thank for sharing with me too
