Art dillemmas and friend codes

Wed Nov 18, 2009, 2:11 PM
When it comes to deviantART, November really seems like a really dull month. There's not much outstanding art coming out and people generally don't seem to be doing much. Guess it's time for my monthly update or something.

Girls' Night Out was received with open arms. I think it's the first deviation to receive over a thousand views within the first 48 hours and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. It was a fun foray on many levels. I also, at long last, uploaded the 25-expression meme that was sitting on my hard drive for months and the Time Warp meme is on its way. The Naruto piece, a little something I did back in 2006, was sneaked in pretty stealthy, and I suspect the majority of my watchers really don't care as much for Naruto as the number of views of my most viewed deviation would suggest. Oh well.

Currently, I'm kind of in limbo when it comes to art, aside from the professional stuff. As much as I like to do fan art, I'm craving to start an ambitious project involving original characters, you know, something that I could actually publish. Trio Solution seems to have less and less potential to me, I always have trouble to really explain what it is about. Inspector Iroh has taught me that I am very capable of creating interesting worlds and characters, even if it is based off something else. Then again, Inspector Iroh is too derivative. The problem is that Trio Solution is something invented by a thirteen-year old Artrix who didn't know better, and while I have refined the concept over the years, it remains the same at its core.
I'm sure that people will suggest that I pick up Life With Artrix and focus on that, and while it is very tempting, I don't think the public at large is waiting for yet another autobiographical comic strip.
I'm stirring ideas in my head, and it may take some time to come up with something new. It has to be something with a solid vision, something that can be pitched easily, something I always had trouble with when it came to Trio Solution.

In the meantime, I'm in the very early stages of creating something for my living room, which is still rather boring. It's going to be big and very odd, but I'm not going to release any details.

Okay, in my closing paragraph I'm going to talk about my Wii, not the one in my pants but the one you wave a silly stick at (well, actually you wave it at the senso- shut up). I forgot how much fun Mario Kart is and playing for about an hour after dinner has become some sort of ritual. Playing online is a blast and super easy. So I'm going to take the plunge and post my friend code so you may stalk me in Wii land. So if you want to race against me... if the coincidence of both of us being online at the same time is great enough, you can reach me at 1247-8485-1562. As with Nintendo's convoluted code system, I need to register your code as well, so make sure to post it here or hit me with a note.

This post ended up being much longer than I anticipated.

Critiques

by =tvskyle

With absolutely nothing interesting to critique for the month of October, I seem to be destined to critique yet another Super Mario pie...

by =Themrock

Around September of 2008, a full year ago, I read about this project, a massive collaboration among the high-tier artists of DeviantART...

In the course of my one-year subscription, I aim to release one critique per month.

Hi I'm :iconqueen-latifaa:'s friend
:icontheartrix:
Hé, c'est le M français.

Alright, don't expect anything better from me. Compared to my English, my knowledge of the French language is so elementary that I can't even order something as simple as a medium vanilla milkshake in Liège, Belgium.

But thank you for watching me. I've seen you a lot in the Mario-infested areas of deviantART, and I think I'll watch you back, my message center could use some extra French humor.

Merci pour le watch-back :D

Hoi hoi : )
Ik had een vraagje, heeft u misschien ook Mariokart Wii met WiFi connection?
:icontheartrix:
Haha, toe maar, wat beleefd ben je.

Het grappige is dat ik gisteren een Nintendo Wii in huis heb gehaald omdat 'ie in de aanbieding was bij de Makro. Ik moet eerst 'n beetje goed worden in Mario Kart voordat ik me online waag.
