Hello all!

I know I don't frequent DA nearly as much as some other sites, though I've also let tumblr fall into similar disuse lately... but! Yesterday marked 15 years of posting art to DA. By my estimation that's a pretty big milestone for just about anything!

My life and art today is a pretty far cry from where it was fifteen years ago; I'm married, we have a house together, I have a semi-fancy job that lets me do stuff I want to do, and I've gotten to meet with and hang out with some of the great artist friends I've made on here over the years including Sprite37, TheAmericanDream, Jmanvelez, BedBendersInc, Yer-Keij-fer-Cash, and quiet a few more! I've also put together a few pay packs over the years that have been really well received and provided great support for me during pivotal times in my life.

Over all these years I've gotten tons of comments, favs, views, and lots of support with only very headaches along the way and in a very real and measurable way DeviantArt has been a huge part of that!

So thank you everyone who still watches, comments, favs, etc. Here's to another 15 years of this ridiculous stuff.

I just finished tossing up eleven of the 40 drawings I'd done since the last time I updated here (which doesn't seem like a ton...) but obviously that means there's still a lot to come.

If you haven't seen any of my work since the last time I updated here you're definitely in for a treat, though, since it includes a few multi-part sequences like Jiggle Belle, Fitbot, and now my completed Game!Set!Match! Alice sequence.

So expect those going up later today or tomorrow, and I hope you like what I've uploaded so far.

Some of my work is available for purchase as prints on my RedBubble store in case you've ever wanted such things, and there's also some free and one not quite as free image sets over on my ejunkie site.

Also, I've had a few people ask about requests/commissions. Right now I am not open for commissions. Some times I'll do requests submitted as asks over on my tumblr, but right now I do not want to field any requests here on DA.

Thanks!

Boy, uploading here just seems so daunting since I've lazily mostly been updating my tumblr for the past however long it's been.

I'm gonna work on putting up some of the stuff I've produced in the mean time, though I imagine most anyone here has seen my stuff there, but then again, maybe not?

So how is everyone?

Hey guys! As I mentioned before I'm moving soon and as such am in need of a bit of financing so I'm making a special offer regarding the Trainer Suit: Truancy comic I've been working on.

Preview the cover image  here.

Until March 15th I'll be accepting donations via paypal for previews of the comic.

If you choose to donate $4 and include "Trainer Suit Truancy" in the message with your donation along with your preferred e-mail address I'll send you a zip including the roughs of the comic prepared thus far which include the cover and six additional pages along with the rough original design for Truant herself.

For $10 you'll get all the above mentioned AND I'll also keep those e-mails on file so that they receive the finished comic at the time of completion for no additional charge. Bare in mind though, I don't have an ETA for the completion of the comic at this time.

If there's over $70 in donations total I'll make a nice color pin-up of Truant sized for print and make it available for download on all of my associated sites (tumblr, DA, & FA).

I'll also mention that you're not limited to donating $4 or $10, and that whoever submits the highest donation by the 15th will also get a sketch request.

If you CAN please help me out and get some exclusive content at the same time! Also if you donate, please do not redistribute any of the content you get in return. I've pretty much never offered any content on a for pay basis before so hopefully my past willingness to provide a lot of free content will discourage too much sharing of this stuff.

I'm not going to use a donate button, so if you're interested just follow the above instructions and send the amount of your choosing via paypal to neverbluestar at gmail dot com.

If you do you have my thanks! If you can't, I appreciate your reading anyway, I know money is tight for most of us!

Hey guys!

I'm always loathe to open myself up to commissions when my plate is full so to speak, but I've had a number of inquiries regarding commissions this past week. I just need to test the waters to an extent to see if interest existed in some commissions with a few provisions attached.

I'm going to be moving really soon, and there's gonna be a bit of time where I won't have a place set up to work, or internet or any of the key things I need to produce the stuff I post here. So if I open commissions the round I would open wouldn't realistically be worked on until some time in April, but I will provide a rough of the commission before I move for approval/revisions before inking and coloring.  Please be sure you're okay with this delay before you agree to the commission. All commissions are completed in order of received payment.

The other slight difference is that the time these guys are taking has forced me to re-evaluate the price a relatively small amount to $30 a pop. For this new round I'll be limiting the availability to ten slots.

At this time I'm only taking work along the lines of the four most recently posted examples, cel-shaded with minimal implied background, single character only. So no sequences, no multiple characters. That aside I'm open to most types of content. At this time I can only accept paypal. If you're interested please send me a note regarding the specifics and we can ensure we're both happy with the arrangement.

6 of 10 slots reserved/ in discussions.
