Yes once again making fun of the stigma on DA where by people who have been inactive for any period of time compulsively post a journal entry saying they arn't dead. Typicly this is followed by a I'm going to try to get more active and then they go idle again. Got a better way for them to make it obvious they are not dead and are gtrying to get active... Post a deviation!

Yes I'm aware of the hypocrasy above but I was young and naive when I feel pray to such a stigma.

Anyway. I make no garentees I will get active. Nor do I garentee I will every be active again. But I'm always trying. Oh yes... Very trying. Just ask my friends.

Anyway you may have noticed that I visit upon my deviation gallery with balls of immolating flame. Not litreraly. But saying it that way sounds alot cooler then I deleted half my deviations. Reason been I plan to reupload them in my new gallery which is this...



Behold it's epileptic goodness.
Anyway pretty much what is been moved there is anything that qualifies as fan art or has some other copyright with the exception of things I was specifcily requested or commisioned to do by the copyright owner. In otherwords if on a whim I decide to draw Mario and Yoshi they'll wind up in there, not here. This gallery is for my more original and proffesional stuff... So might bring about more conflageration within my gallery later to root out all the crap within... But not right now.

Lets see... What else... Oh yeah. Apparently I have to post 6 wierd things about my self because says so. Well... 6 wierd things by my standards or 6 wierd things by "normal" peoples standards? Because by normal standards pretty much anything about me qualifies. OK lets try this.

1: My first name is Astron.
2: My second name is Rex.
3: My full name is Astron Rex Francis Bryant.
4: I'm getting a legal name change to just "Astron" and having no last name.
5: I'm told that when I am strictly required to enter a last name for stupid reasons that make no sense what so ever that I am allowed ot just enter Astron twice.
6: Alternatively despite the legal name change I'm still allowed to use my full original name whenever I want.

Hows that?

Oh in other news I moved to back to Sydney (Australia). Still disabled and can't leave the house. Not such a problem with family this close though. That said I expect major dramas to ensue in due time none the less. Not that I'm pessimistic or anything. I can just see things unfolding.

I always forget "how" to update these things and spend a minute or so looking for the link I have to click to do so. :-P

Have you ever notice how at least half of these journal update things you see on DA or standardised "I'm not dead" or "I'm still here" or "Hey I'm back" or "I'm not gone" ..... "plan to do somehting soon" or "Will update shortly" and the likes. Yeah well this is sort of one of those... But with a twist! It's also one of those "I'm about to hit a nice round number of pageviews!" updates. :-P

Ok heres the deal. I'm about to hit 2000 pageviews (Wow biggest number of pageviews evar... Yes thats sarcasm ^_^) but I want to do one last request before I close them off forevar. SO the person who sends me a "screenshot"... In jpg format of my 2000th gets some gift art of their choice done for them. Arn't I generous. Expected time for gift art completion is most likely something like a month due to read below.

As for where I've been, nowhere. I've still been poking around her about twice daily. As for why I havn't been making an attempts to upload anything its the classic excuse. University. Exams finish next week so around then expect some uploads.... Maybe a week after that because I'm lazy... 2 weeks if I end up getting pulled away to Sydney as my family requests. But I do have 3 major artworks near ready to upload. 2 just need to go through the final clean up stages and be resized and the other has about 3-4 hours work left. One of them is the long awaited Samus picture. It's looking shiney. :-P

Be cool ~ Astron

Yes well... Mystery Pic won... By twice the number of votes as the runner up as it happens... I just can't beleive that one won. Well I learnt my lesson.
It's in scraps. And I want no complaints. YOu only have yourselves to blaim.

Well I've been keeping the update a day thing going for nearly 2 weeks now and that was just the warm up. For those of you who said I couldn't do it...
...
SMOKE YOU!
...
Yes moving on. Been having problems complaining about how I'm to good to be true. Then go onto bitch how I'm too moral and "angelic" in my principles and behavour. Well just for the record I'm no angel and I'm far then from perfect, I'm just better then you are *The most perverted example of modisty ever*.
Admitedly I'm allot more anal about doing the right thing no matter what and better at folling through with this believe then most but everyone has their naughty moments. Otherwise you'd just be boring... Of course this debate lead to the challange been put forth to prove it. So be it, I shall answer this challange. Just not how the unamed person intended. Perfect or not why should I bend to your rules?

Let it be known that those wishing to find my darker tendancies have quite a task ahead of them and it is unlikely any one person shall pursaude such tendancies to be revealed publicly. But what I will present now is an possibility for one such example to be seen.

I have in front of me the most risqué picture I've ever drawn. Just how risqué it is I won't indicate other then to say it is unlikely I will ever draw anything worse and it is alot worse then some people would expect of me. Itturprate that how you will. The only further information I will give on the said pic is it is of an anthro dragon. Now I'm not a furry so once again inturprate that how you will. ^_^

Now of course I don't really want this picture to be seen. That much should be obvious. Thus the competetion I put forward now. I will present a series of pictures for you all to vote on. Vote towards some picture will be worth more then others as will be seen below. Further more of all the pictures listed I will only ever upload one here. Some pictures I DO NOT just as much as the picture mentioned above. My hope the spread of votes over such pictures might bring their vote value to less then that then pics I am less concerned about. Should the above pic not get selected those hassling me will just have to accept I'm not as perfect as they make out but they just lost their chance to see proof of it (Maybe some of you will help me with this?).

To celebrate 2 weeks of daily updates (Just because I want to rub Sorlac's nose in it) votes will be counted at Miday on Wednesday (My time) and the winning pic posted on Wednesday night (Unless it's one of the last ones in the list that may take longer to do). To vote send me note to do so privately or post your vote here if you don't care. You can just vote a number though name and number on the list is prefered.

Now heres the list:
1: Risqué Dragon Anthro Pic.
2: Photo of me with my shirt off. (For the record I havn't freely let anyone see me with my shirt off since I was 10)
3: All the dirty details of my porn collection revealed. (Hahaha, do I really have one? Only one way to find out)
4.X: Special Request Extream. (See rules below)
5: Picture of the worst scare I've ever recieved. (Doesn't sound to bad? Did I mention the pic will have to include my backside?)

Votes for the following pics are worth twice the normal value:
6: Random Pic form the "Best pic eva!!!!!!11!1!1!!" series. (Funny as all hell bit only for a select few to see)
7: Random pic of me as a child. (First to vote gets to pic aprox. age... And if you pic between the ages of 0-3 your a bastard)
8: Virtual tour of my home. (Thieve thinking of using this to plan a robbery, your both wasting your time and risking your life. I say bring it! )
9: Mystery pic. (Oooo, mysterious... If this one wins I'm just going to die)
10.X: Special Request. (See below + all votes after first worth x3. So hoping this one wins)

Rules for 10.X "special request" and 4.X "special request X":
The special request option let you request and vote for a new drawing of your choice. The way it works is like this, to request a drawing you must vote publicly in this journal entry. Easiest way to explian how is by example. Say two people have already requested different 10.X "Special Request" pictures. Their votes will be labled 10.1 and 10.2 respectively followed by the discription of the pic they want done. If you don't like either of them and want to vote for a new one you would then post your vote as follows:
10.3 "Pic of a bunny" Picture of a rabbit sticking it's head out of a hole.
While that vote has to be public anyone else voting for that pic can do so privately. Now the difference between the 2.
10.X "Special Request":
Requests for this option can be any sort of pic I would normal be ok with drawing. Generaly this means this is for any request with a PG rating. Additional votes for 10.X after the first are worth 3 votes.
4.X "Special Request Extream":
Spec Req X is for requests for pics you would not see me drawing AT ALL. Rather then going into a list of such things lets just say if in doubt put it here not in 10.X unless you want to risk all votes for that item been found void at counting. If a request from this item wins, no matter what it is I will draw it. Most likely regretfully.

Ok happy voting.

If it didn't take me days to accomplish the simplest things I'd probably a world leader or something by now...
Anyway in an attempt to try increase my level of activity for the rest of the month I'm going to TRY upload a thing a day here. If or not I'm succesful at such a thing for a change we will see.
Hopefully most of the uploads will be knew but as I suck at keep myself ontop of such things if I'm falling behind I do have plenty of old artworks to fall abck on I said I would upload here eventualy.
So fingers crossed.
