Deviation Actions
Just a small update from me. I know I haven't posted anything for a very long time. This laptop I am using is not very good for doing digital artwork. But my main PC should come out of a box this week, and I hope to God it still works after months in a container.
I still have another thing holding me back. The chronic daily neck pain that forced me to quit my job is still with me. I have been misdiagnosed and mistreated so many times it isn't even funny any more. Not that it ever was. The positive news is that I have found some medical advice that really seems to offer some hope. This isn't a disc problem, it isn't fybromyalgia, it isn't any of the other crap I heard about and it can't be treated with pharmaceuticals and machines (don't I know it). I am now treating this as Whiplash tendonitis of the neck and am going to treat myself at home with stretching exercises, ice and proper nutrition.
I supposed I should have seen this pattern before and worked out what was really wrong with me. I had a bad car accident at the end of 2009 and this left me susceptible to an RSI type injury caused by bad posture. A year later when I was working night and day on Ciara's Egyptian Nightmare, I developed this horrible neck ache that just came on whenever I sat in front of the computer (or even sat down to eat) and just has ruined my life since.
Let's hope I can get out of this. There is SO much I would be writing and drawing if I wasn't such a fucking physical wreck right now. I even think I have some RSI developing in my right wrist as well. I am treating this at the same time.
Anyway thanks for your continued watching and patience and wish me luck while I try to deal with this life-destroying health problem. I want to get back to Amanda and the girls so badly but you may have to bear with me a little longer if I need to give working on the computer a wide berth.
Sidebar? How to I get rid of it?
I barely use deviantART now as the interface is just so unattractive and clunky. I can hardly work out how to do anything any more and just about everything is unintuitive and downright painful. But this new sidebar really takes the biscuit. It came uninvited to my screen right now and has set up home, proudly telling me how wonderful it is. Does anyone know it to make it GO THE FUCK AWAY? Please? I just want menus on the top of the screen, not this crap. Please help. You can find me on Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/MoreTorqual3D by the way. Thanks.
Eclipse
Hello watchers... Like almost everyone I was not excited about Eclipse nor looking forward to the shutdown of the old site. I speak as someone who is still using 15-year-old 3d software and art packages because I am suspicious of new things. I only moved to Windows 10 in January this year and only because Microsoft forced me to by killing off Windows 7 (which I was pretty happy with). So I totally get the negative feeling expressed around here that this is all too much change at once and has been imposed on the user base against our wishes. This said (and without wanting to re-open the debate) I really hope that those fellow deviants threatening to 'leave deviantART' in protest do not go through on these threats. Thing is, if you deactivate your account, you're not primarily punishing Wix (the new owner, who won't notice) but instead you're impacting all the people who follow you and like your work. Believe me, I understand the sentiment - as you know, I had my own falling out
I do not have a StarNow account
As per title, I am not and never have been registered with StarNow - or any equivalent platform. Nor will I be in the future.
I am not a film director, I am not doing any casting calls, I am not seeking actors or crew for any production or photo shoot.
If you are approached, or have been approached, by anyone claiming to be me, it is not me. Thanks.
Patreon deleted art
Hi
As some of you may know, my Patreon page was reviewed and I had to remove most of the artwork there. I don't really want to go into it now or make any comments about Patreon or that process. Just to say that my account is up and running again and I will be posting 3D pinups and fashion pictures much in line with what I posted here.
What I deleted from Patreon was a significant body of work - around 400 images - and I am currently considering what to do with it. I do feel bad for the patrons that supported me while I did that work. If you're one of those patrons, or maybe you weren't but are interested in purchasing some or all of it,
