5 Years at DA & Contest Results

Journal Entry: Sun Aug 24, 2008, 5:59 PM
Figured I'd post a little entry today since it marks my 5th DA anniversary.  Heh.  I can't believe it's been that long.  It really doesn't feel like it.  I love this site as much as ever.  I've met so many wonderful people here.  And just associating with so many artists and enjoying myself, I feel like my art's improved in a way it wouldn't have had I not found this place.  So, anyway, thanks to everyone who pops by for a visit from time to time, and thanks to the wonderful friends and acquaintances I've made.  It's been a great 5 years, and I look forward to many more.  I count myself a very fortunate gal for having met you all.  Yay!  :)

In other news... My annual Rurouni Kenshin contest has wrapped up.  Incidentally, this is also the 5th year I've been running the contest.  :)  We had so many awesome entries this year!  Thanks so much to everyone who participated:  artists, judges, and viewers.  Awards are posted here:  [link]

Usage of My Artwork


My artwork is not stock imagery, so please don't treat it as such. ^_^

In a nutshell:
1. Don't alter/edit/mutilate my art.
2. Don't claim it as your own.

The following are fine as long as you don't alter my images. No need to contact me for permission:

  • Downloading my art for your personal viewing pleasure.

  • Using my artwork as your desktop image.

  • Printing out my art for your personal use (like putting it up on the wall of your room.)

  • Displaying my artwork UNALTERED as part of a picture gallery on your site. (It'd be nice if you gave credit.)


I would ask that you please do NOT do the following:

  • Other than re-sizing, please do NOT alter/edit my art. Do not crop it. Do not change the colors. Do not draw on top of it. Do not remove my signature. Do not add text over it.

  • Do NOT use my artwork as part of your website/blog/myspace background or layout design.

  • Do NOT use my artwork for banners, avatars, sigs, and tubes.

  • Do NOT claim my artwork as your own.

  • Do NOT take my art without permission and sell it for profit.



  • Mood: Joy
  • Listening to: E. S. Posthumus - Unearthed
  • Reading: Random fanfics
  • Watching: Hellboy 2 (again)
  • Playing: Uh... my piano
  • Eating: Edamame
  • Drinking: Chrysanthemum tea

Yes! I won my warm and happy glow and that's really what matters! ^.^

It's no good if you're looking to the contest just to gain a prize. Because the feeling of 'losing' could be quite intense and unwanted. =( Instead, I think my technique improved a bit more after doing that. ^.^

I hope to enter next year as well!

I always hope that people who didn't win a prize don't feel like they're losing. Because honestly, many of the non-prize winning entries are really wonderful. Some of my personal favorites didn't necessarily win a prize.

I hope you enter next year too. ^_^
