Vote for my simple shield?

My shield finally went up for voting yay! 

I feel totally akward though because everyone else has superfantastic digitally rendered realistic shields...while mine is ballpoint pen and colored pencil :(

Being a fan of Dark Souls though, I really do feel that conceptually my shield would make sense in the style and context of the game.

So please vote? :o

the end of frampt's body?

Since we don't know what the end of Frampt's body looks like...what if the end of him is the beginning of Kaathe? What if they're like cat-dog?

Tweeties.

I am now on Twitter!

Although, I probably won't be tweetering things all that much til I get the ball rollin' with all my artsy brizness. 

But I noticed that Twitter is super helpful if you're an artist living in a busy area. It's a great way to keep up on calls for entries and special events. Be aware of what's going on around you! Follow stuff in your city/local areas and meet nice cool people!
