Ello there fellow Deviants!
Sadly, I've neglected to keep you all in the loop as of late and for that I am sorry. Here is the latest in the life & times of Kazeiyx:

*Field Trip: September 15-29th I was actually out of state. Adventures included local food, fairs, touring the Oregon Coast, and camping in the California Redwoods. Art was created to reflect different areas of the trip and though I did do a live stream while away, I waited until after my return home to even upload any full art on to my FA account.

*Job Change: Started a new job October 15th, leaving behind my old one.
Pros -
Positive energy ↑, Financial stability ↑, 1 hour lunch (art time!), Most Weekends off, Walking distance from a Michael's store x3

Cons - Time ↓, Energy ↓, Newbie Stress ↑

*Quality: Finally got the scanner up and running again so expect higher quality submissions in the future & updates on old pieces. If there are any pieces you actually like in lower quality, please let me know so I do NOT change them.

*Pupthing: Waffles has been a major turn-around as far as releasing an artist block I've been locked into for a while now. He's also evolved quite a lot over time and is taking the world by storm! Ok, not really. But I do hope more people will come to get a smile out of the little guy in the future.

That's about it!
Thank you for stopping by ^w^

As we go about life our interests and tastes change, so over the next couple days I will be going through my Watch list and updating.

*Removing watches that no longer interest me (sorry guys :( )
*Removing abandoned & "moved" accounts
*Changing what deviations/notices I am getting from the artists I have been watching.
*Changing "Friends" List - I feel it's unfair to call myself a friend to a fellow artist just because I am watching their art. I am a supporter (definitely) and I can be a friend, but it's unfair to them/you if I have you in a list of friends and we've never even said a word to each other. Not only that but it's unfair to have them/you listed as an artist on my profile for all to see under the category of "friends" just to draw in people's interest. I do not know if I will be unchecking the friend box on all unknown artists in general or just creating a friend category called "Supporter". We will see. Regardless, you guys are amazing and if you really would like to to be friends then please feel free to let me know!

That's about it for now - I currently have 3 projects in the works and am also gearing up to embroider patches/badges again. Updates to come ^w^

Looking back on all the craziness that has been happening in the past, well, forever, I've realized that this is my life. There's no normality at the end of the tunnel. The waves are never going to become tranquil. I'm never going to be in a completely steady position in the world - so why am I waiting for it?

I keep continuing to think that there will be some "right" time in my life to press on with my art work. As though there's going to be a peaceful span of existence where I can just sit down and crank out what I think would be an even pace of perfect projects.

That is crap. I'm stalling.
Having lost confidence in my work over time, I am terrified to even put pencil to paper. Pushing myself to wedge my way into the works, I've lost my own style in order to conform to what I see all around me - because people like it, because I like it. I've scrapped tons of projects just because I couldn't reach the bar I had set for myself. But if you can't look at my work and tell it apart from theirs or if I'm working night and day on one project only to get frustrated because it's not "good enough" compared to theirs; what the hell fun is it?

This being said, I am stripping down back to my own roots and working my way back up. Prepare for horrid anatomy, sketchy lines, poor color choices, fingerprints, ranting, and overall terrible work until I finally find a comfortable place, a decent pace.

What this Means:
- Digital work is being shelved and the drawing book is being dusted off.

- Spontaneous doodles, practice sheets, drawing basics, random abstract, and quick draws will be common.

- More crafting! I am currently working on yarn tails, learning to crotchet, and making various types of bags (messengers, totes, etc.).
---------
My Goals:
- Try to do more mixed-media pieces involving traditional mediums. Stepping out of my comfort zone!

- Finding happiness and relaxation in creating artwork that can be shared with you all. Like in the old days!

- Being myself ^w^

- Express the various emotions life brings and share how I've managed to pull through with the help that I've found over time through family, friends, and the love I actually stumbled upon right here on this very site.

That's it for now!
Tune in next time, much love

So I closed Tumblr so that I could focus on posting what I have been up to lately - updating my sadly neglected Deviant Art. Start going through all my missed deviations, journals and oh...hey.. this artist is talking about Tumblr. Oh hey look they have one! Hey I should check this out *click*, oh look it's connected to another! *click, click, click*... 20 minutes later I realize I'm back on my tumblr dashboard xD So goes the internet I suppose!

News:
  • Going to be working Saturday nights as a KJ (Karaoke DJ) - woo!
  • Posted a collage picture of the messiness I have been up to lately
  • More patches will be coming up! If you are interested in purchasing an already created patch or are interested in commissioning a custom patch please send me a note. Patch prices to be posted soon as more are created.*
  • More SFX Wounds to be posted!
*Any custom patch designs must be of your own/my own creation as to avoid any copyright issues.

Notes:
I am currently thinking of finally changing out my name. It's been 7 years with Dead-Shdwwolf and though I still am quite fond of the name; it's also a bit less professional and isolating than I'd like. What I mean is though it works for a lot of my special makeup effects and darker themes -- it just doesn't seem very "right" placing the name upon a piece of cheerful work like a greeting card. When I come up with the new name, well obviously you'll be the first to know. Much Love, Kovi.

from outer space!
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face..
haha I'm joking guys, but really it has felt like I've been in no-man's land for quite some time.

::News::
* I have relocated to the opposite side of the country, and let me tell you this whole hot weather thing is not something I'm going to get use to easily.
* Wasn't able to bring my profile up to speed before my premium membership expired BUT, I at least have my profile back up and not under construction.
* Kodiack, my trusty tablet-pc is currently down due to a power cord that decided it wanted to be a sparkler instead. Sadly there will be no digital art nor returning to any previously started works until I can get him a new life source! BUT I do have access to a scanner and have been meddling around with some other mediums such as paint and pastel. We will have to see how it goes, now won't we? ^w^

Well in reality this was just a stop in and up date at random but I will try to have something a bit more concrete and in-depth later on for you all.

Much Love,
Kovi Zeiyx / Dead-Shdwwolf
