Hey there my peeps of old and new.

Its came to a decision where I cannot continue to update here on DA let alone comment on any of your works that have been stacking away neatly in my inbox, as my life since October has been nothing but University co-operation on the work that is needed there in order for me to become a honorary BA Graphic Designer and to make a successful living out of it. So I have to leave here as I just cannot keep to date with everything that is posted or is happening otherwise.

Because I really don't have the time to get everything put out here just at the moment, such as a huge hauling list of my personal thank yous to all the people who watched me, entertained me with comments, and even became closest personal friends...to the little things such as memories and note rallying that became a part of the "just another regular day on the DA" for myself. So when I do get some "off" time and have the motivation, I will get more added to this as I want to make this last journal "worthwhile", as leaving on such a entry like this one is pretty lame in my eyes.

But hey, just because I'm leaving here don't mean you can still drop me a message off at jdoggextreme@hotmail.com the original way of making contact online. Oh, and before anyone asks "will I ever return" well, many come and go...but we always like to visit every often once more.


Keep it real friends, later days.

final farewells

The DA end trail UPDATE

Well here’s a update of things I wanted to get put into this farewell journal, Some things you read below may be silly, but I feel as though they were like a personal target to gain or in some cases I did complete. The list of people I got to know well here will be updated again in the future with a descriptive write on how I got to know them and how they have been a influence to me.

Things I regret never completing on my time at DA:

.Never reaching over the 10k mark
.Never having any art faved up to 10 times
.Never getting a style of my art I truly admired
.Never getting used to how to shade my works
.Never getting a real background done (always some generic mix of colours or something)
.Never getting a sub
.Never changing my avatar in the past two years
.Never “officially” getting 100 deviations done
.Never getting “the kliq pic” done
.Never having a poll of opinion for anything
.Never getting more work put up on here
.Never having some sort of tutorial
.Never getting a flash on here
.Never having a written dialog piece on here
.Never had a milestone mark of years
.Dropped space-toast oddity idea at last moment.

Things I have completed on my time at DA:

.Reached 5k mark of viewers
.Read more than 5 faves on work
.got 50 deviations done
.kept in comment whenever possible (I have 18,642 Deviation Comments after all, more than anyone has posted in just under 4 years.)
.Found love (3 times over the years: including someone I'm in love with at this time <3 I won't give a name just in case she don't want others to know just yet either.)
.completed requests (from what I can remember )
.had a collab art piece
.had a comic page done
.Met friends for real thanks to DA
.Did complete my entry for a competition
.Still kept in contact with the first people I came to DA with (not greatly, but we still send messages)
.Enlightened and maybe even taught others here.


Top of my head list of the people I really got to know well here (alphabetical order) and don’t take it personally if your name aren’t there. I do intend to at least get a write-up on everyone I know.

In other news; I as well as friends travelled to the Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle to witness the event that was Bill Bailey: Tinselworm. An awesome turnout of events as we were all mesmerized by the sheer comedic excellence that is Bill Bailey. So an 1pm awakening this afternoon after travelling all the way back from the show really was worth it. ^_^ (NOTE: To those who don’t know Bill Bailey: He’s a professional stand-up comic, TV personality and musician all wrapped into one).
