Artist's Comments

A white snow leopard, scribbled in my sketch book at work and colored quite hastily at home in Photoshop. I have doodled a lot of big cats lately. It's Hedvig's fault!

PLEASE READ

This is the last piece of art I will upload here for a while. Deviantart has gotten cluttered to the edge with advertisement lately and looks so insanely cheap and ugly right now that I just don't want my art here anymore. Compare it to the wish of having ones artwork nicely hung and framed on an exhibition. Makes sense, right?

I care a lot about the design and feeling of the online galleries I join. Deviantart has never been a pretty site, but it's billions of functions have made up for it. I realize such a huge and complex site needs money from subscriptions. But placing huge add banners INSIDE peoples galleries, lining it up next to the artwork as if it was part of the gallery to enrage people is just a cheap and tacky way to get it.

It makes me not wanting to get a paid account, although I know it's not expensive.

Instead I have given my Livejournal a throughout makeover and intend to use it as my "deafult" art place from now on. Have a look and you will notice that I have posted art in it for years, including sketches and stuff I don't post to DA.

As most bloggers I write boring stuff about my life and everyday happenings as well, quite often in swedish, but you can always use the "artwork" tag to sort out the entries that haven't got art.

I hope I'm not beeing too troublesome to you guys, the watchers, now. I truly, deeply aprecciate all the comments and favs I've gotten through the years. You're the reason why I've hesitated to leave until now. I will continue to use this accont to view other peoples art, with a sturdy add blocker installed. And if the site owners get to their senses, I might eventually start posting again.

'Till then!

COSMIC BLOG OF SUPERMAGIC!

I need to change that name...

8I I hate the new ads too, I'm kinda glad I still have a sub now. Eff.

I shall watch your amazing lj now -add-

Also, this is really nice <3 You draw felines so well

I should probably view my DA gallery with ads turned on, too, since I didn't even notice them because I use Firefox with ads totally blocked... >_> Shoot, they could be plugging pr0n on my gallery and I'd never even know. ;_;


But at least your blog's an LJ, which means I will actually have the ability to keep watching your stuff! XD

That lepord has a very nice pose, and I'll still be looking at your art on LJ.

I do understand that! Only if you pay sub. you get rid of it.

How do you block ads in Firefox? o_0 I have it too, but I can't find this option. Those ads are a nuisance >:(
Hmm... it may be an add-on that you have to get from the firefox site (it's free) or it may come installed in the newer versions of the browser, but it's called "adblock" and is accessed through the "tools" menu in Firefox.

I actually didn't set mine up myself (my husband did) so I'm not sure about the ins-and-outs of how it all works... It seems to do a pretty good job of blocking ads, though! :)

FIREFOX and ADBlock will sort that right out. I don't even see them. ;-)
