Hi everybody.

As you've undoubtedly noticed, there's been no new art for like half a year. Full-time job just simply ate away all the free time and energy I had for art stuff. Right now I'm 'enjoying' some free time as I was laid off from the job for the rest of the year (estimate). However, picking up the pen again has been a slow process, and I still haven't really managed to make anything to put on display here. Hopefully I'll have something new done before I'm employed again. Unfortunately, I'm not yet ready to do commissions either, in case anyone wondered. If I can't even get stuff done on my own, how could I get a commission done either.

Anyways, my current situation aside, the website has seen very little activity (for pretty obvious reasons), and the forums have been silent for months... which means that I think it's time to make everything more compact to drop hosting costs. What this means is reducing the gallery to a bare minimum. Same thing with the forum. I may also be switching host entirely, if my time and patience permits the migration. Overall, you'll still have access to the same art, but likely with more limited browsing features.

In any case, this is just a tentative plan for now. More info to come if/when I get there...

In the meantime, I've opened the 'BONUS GALLERY' forum section for public browsing (previously it cost some of the forum currency, obtained by posting or activities). So, if you fancy looking at some old doodles and scraps of mine, mostly from like five years ago, go to the Forum and click the 'BONUS GALLERY' near the bottom to see these pics. Just remember, they're... old.

10/23/11 - Art related - Expect Less Artworks For Now

0 comments

I've mentioned this in several places already, but apparently not in the website news, so here it is:

I started a full-time job a few weeks back. I work at the local car factory, on the assembly line. What this essentially means is that the work in consuming most of my energy, and nearly halving my available free time. Which means that I just haven't felt like doing art lately. It's not like I don't have a craving for it though, so expect me to rise from the ashes again sooner than later.

In the meantime, I don't accept new commissions. You may inquire about them, but I'm likely going to turn them down and ask to wait for future opportunities.

The good news in all this is that I should no longer be short on cash for keeping up the website, my computer and life in general.

Another year has passed. It's time to see how much support there is to keep the website running.

Ways to show your support:
- PayPal donation (any sum, see top right of the website)
- Use the website (register, comment)
- Use the forums (register, start topics, reply in topics)
- Promotion (whatever method you prefer)

Otherwise I may have to consider stripping down the website to bare essentials or even dropping it entirely by next summer. I don't wanna pay for something that hardly anyone supports.

WEBSITE GALLERY UP-TO-DATE
I've been neglecting keeping the website gallery up-to-date with my latest works for the last three or so months. There are now six new pics to ogle at, in case you don't regulate my dA gallery or website forums to have seen them or previews elsewhere.

As a reminder to everyone, my deviantART gallery is still kicking at:
http://hitmann.deviantart.com/

It's the place where I usually post completed works first.

Would you fancy one of my calendars, or maybe a poster-size print of one my works? There are some nice offers going on over at dA Prints during December. Head over to my deviantART store page right away:
