omg...randy green commented on it....*hyper ventilates*

thanks everyone for the comments! lets see if I can keep it up!

I think it will have become obvious looking at the last few pictures Ive submitted on DA, I have been working on my coloring skills.

My Latest Adventure in color! This took a little while. but im pretty proud of it, really working on my color matching, saturation and temperature to turn the figure.

Just a side thought, does anyone know of a place where i can find line art to practice on? i know there are ton's of artist's on DA but most of them only have a small file size. I'd love to find some bigger stuff to work on. preferably nice clean professional inks.

Thanks Devious! I'll PM you the information as soon as I get some breathing room in real life (so probably Sunday).

So now it's my turn to Play it Forward, eh? Alrighty, Electa, er I mean, the Forumite formerly known as Electagonist aka Eddy Swan. I'm going to commission a piece of art featuring one of your characters. You can either PM me a list of artists that you like or I will send you a list of artists if you so desire.

So the ball is in your court now

*Looks over at E.Swan and sees that he is wearing a matching thinking cap!* "COPY CAT! I get the pink one!"

[/ QUOTE ]

the pink one was half price, and the cute young lady behind the counter said it made me look manly...

she lied

ahhh okay.... let me see... Electagonist isn't really the vacationing type...he's last idea of a vacation was going to the rogue isle's because there were too many capes in paragon... that vacation didn't turn out too good. this is a tough question... i think I'll have to think on this some more....

OH MY GAWD, all your fathers were getting their Christmas present early weren't they?


Happy birthday!

The thing with name changes, is that you eventually wonder about changing it back. >>

[/ QUOTE ]

I've spent a very very long time pondering the change, Pretty much since I started posting here. Electagonist was supposed to be a temporary thing, but I ended up keeping it because i didn't want to start a new deviant art. It's my name and i want it to be the name people know my art by. I've always signed my artwork ES in the shape of a swan so as for doing artwork by another name, ive always done it under my name and the electagonist was just another confusing element. So I doubt I'll regret it.

And I knew someone was going to pick up the prince reference in my Sig. that's just staying there so nobody say's ''Hey who's this eddy swan weirdo?" I'll be chucking that out in a week or so.

that's adorable, no wonder he is able to destroy worlds!

oh cool! time to put on my thinking cap....

I was hoping to get there this year, but alas some expenses came up and i couldn't raise the funding. I'm thinking I'll get there for sure next year though hopefully airfare is as cheap next year as it's been lately. enjoy yourself a little bit more then usual for me!

Happy happy birthday, to you.... and you... and you and you and you.... Didn't realize October was such a Biz-zay! time of year .... anyway!! happy somewhat belated birthday!

woah birthday's birthday's birthday's it's like birthdays 'r us here all birthday's must go! bobs house of used birthdays we are throwing them out at CRAZE- EEEE prices.....*breath*

And with that rant done :P happy birthday turbo ski as the only one of the 3 birthday-ites I haven't gifted art I'll whip you up some slick Scythe wielding ice madness!

Don't name change too much. Otherwise, you'll be like David Bowie: in complete denial that originally, you were an overweight Korean woman.

haha thanks for the advice.

This will be the only time I do it.

Hello all,

It's Electagonist as ive come to be known here and on DA. With the prospect of the new forum on the possible horizon and the fact I wont be able to change it later Ive decided to change My Identity to my actual name, as It is the name I want to be known by as an Artist. and as Deviant art wont allow a simple User name change. Ive had to start a new Account. its a bit heart breaking leaving the old account, and name behind, they have been good to me and I had managed to find a bit of a following over on DA. But I decided to do it as I intend to use the new account for the remainder of my art career and it will only get harder as the page views climb.

The old Account is now going to house my growing art collection of Electagonist and my other characters. be it freebies commissions or gifts. I will still keep my old gallery there as well as I don't feel like bringing it all over and I'm trying to improve and distance myself from some of the older stuff, as well alot of the pieces have been faved by alot of people and I would hate to have to go through and notify everyone.

I would Appreciate all who have followed my Art thus far to continue to Support me by watching my new account. this is all a bit difficult for me to do as I fear I will lose some of my watch list which I value as many of the artist's on it I value there opinions and criticism and the general supporters help me feel good about my art when im being too critical of my own work.

Thank you to those who follow me through this change, I feel it is a change I have to make. the move should be complete by the end of the month by that time i should have a slew of new art for the new account and the collection should be set up.

-Eddy

p.s My apologies to anyone who will miss my old name
