Deviation Actions
Jumping on the bandwagon because I've been on DA for a very long time and I wanted to contribute~
(For some reason August 7 stuck out to me and now I realize it's because it's DA's birthday!)
It's an old shame, but I used to be Steimei on here and I joined in April 2005.
First deviation I ever submitted
A very kawaii desu self portrait in OekakiBBS, does anybody remember that?
Later that year I learned how to use Photoshop (to some extent anyway. XD) She is still an OC I really like
So fast forward past a lot of self inflicted embarrassment and general idiocy I made longestdistance in September 2009 after deciding it was time to start over completely. I also took the opportunity to try new things (this is when my love of backgrounds began)
First ever deviation on this account
First time I got a DD on an artwork
Now for some of my favorite images througout my DA career ;D (in no particular order)
Looking back at my old account, and on this account as well, I realized I've grown more than I thought. I became more welcoming of critique and I've made friends and I'm also doing as much as I can to reach out to others.
I love you DA and I love the people on it. <3 Happy birthday

April check-in
My February and March Honestly my mental health still isn’t the best. Lots of ups and downs but I’m hanging in there. I’m hoping to get outside my comfort zone more, especially now that spring is here. I spent the last month watching Kim Possible, all four seasons and two movies. This show absolutely slaps. Love the art style, character designs, and the beautiful animation. It has also become my blueprint for writing characters and chemistry. I saved a ridiculous amount of screencaps for drawing reference. The character designs and body language are incredibly versatile. Halfway through my excellent viewing journey of Kim Possible, I discovered I could hook up my laptop to the television using an HDMI cord. Then I figured out how to set up picture slideshows using Irfanview. I don’t really like drawing at a desk or in front of a computer but now I can draw on the couch while a picture slideshow plays on tv. Cat at my side and listening to a podcast. This has created a much more fun
February check-in
- My January - January had its ups and downs. I'm not expecting this year to be a walk in the park by any means. But I've been really feeling those downs lately, man. I don’t have the energy to write anything else beyond the basics here. Just tired of everything. My goals for February: Work on my story. I've made some good progress so far. And to finish my big painting, or at least make good progress on it. - Watcher check-in - What were the highlights of your January? What are you looking forward to in February? Any plans or goals? Here are some random questions for you to answer if you feel like it. A ritual is being performed to summon you. What five things are placed on the pentagram? Favorite art style or movement? Favorite voice/actors? - Mini Feature -
New Year 2024 Check-In!
My December Not going to lie. I am really struggling with mental health. I've been really depressed lately and there were days that it all felt completely hopeless. Every day is different. It makes me appreciate the good days that much more. Good news: I've started making a habit of voice recording myself talking about my ideas, especially the more open-ended ones. I did a tally of my idea list and I have over 4,100 items now. There is no way I will ever get around to every single idea, but I am coming up with ways to make the task more manageable. I'm having a lot of fun exploring my ideas more efficiently, and it's good speaking practice too since I rarely ever leave my cave. I had a nice and uneventful Christmas break. It was spent on drawing, painting, and writing. I've recently discovered the joy of longplays on Youtube. I don't exactly sit and watch them, but it's comforting to have it in the background. Plus it's a way for me to appreciate games I've been wanting to check
December check-in
- My November - Went to the local anime convention earlier this month. I got an ita bag so I can show off my awesome pin collection. I always drop so much money on stuff I don’t need, but this only comes once a year and it makes me happy. Treat Yourself! Trying to visit more of my ideas. One thing I’m trying is sending scheduled emails to myself. Every day I get an email suggesting an idea from my list. By the time that day rolls around the idea is a surprise again. I signed up for a painting class next semester. I'm planning to finally paint on my bigger canvases (at least 2x3 feet). I've gotten much better with just making art without overthinking it. But in this case I'm still nervous because of the large scale and all the materials needed. Whatever I make though will be worth it! - Watcher check-in - How was your November? What is on the agenda for December? Tell me about it! - Mini feature - This guy keeps following me everywhere. What does he want?!
