Hi there! Sorry to bother you, but you're one of my watchers and I wanted to give you a heads up that I'm leaving DeviantART completely. I had switched accounts a year ago, so I wasn't using this one anymore. If you'd like to continue keeping up with my work, you can check out the links below. If not, that's okay too. Thank you for your support up to this point, it means a great deal to me!

Wow. Your stuff is just great. Glad your back.
I love your ID. That's great.
So you use Photoshop? I have a Bamboo, and I havent figured out how to really use it in programs like that.. (None of my work in my gallery has been done with the bamboo so far)
I'd love some pointers, if you got any!

Thankyou. Yeah I have been using photoshop ever since I joined DA (January 2004). I have never used Bamboo before but for any digital painting I would suggest two things.
1. Get yourself a Drawing Tablet. (Wacom is the best and can be pretty cheap)
2. Practice, practice, practice!
I just picked up things as I used photoshop. It will get easier the more you use it.

Oh My! It looks like someone has sent you a rose? But who?
I guess this means you have someone out there who admires you!

Wow! He bought me a sub?!! DA did not send me a note telling me who bought it so thanks for letting me know.

Helewidis In reply to utarefson670 [2007-11-15 16:55:55 +0000 UTC]
he made a journal a few weeks ago asking everyone to tell him deviants who should get subs. I named you and he subbed you in fact, he subbed everyone who got named. he's an awesome guy, appart from giving subs he's really sweet to deal with!

Eh...you moved to the UK? You're a sucker for punishment. I'm happy here in Canada. Earning loads and I get to actually live with my husband. Woo.
Hope you're doing well.

Hey Buddy. Yes I'm alive...I've just moved back to the UK. I should be on more regularly now that I'm in the Uk as I have internet access at work now. I've missed all of my pals here and the art. Just give me a couple of days and I'll be good as new..or rather as good as old. lol

DarthFar In reply to utarefson670 [2007-05-30 12:23:53 +0000 UTC]
... Waiiit. I thought you'd moved to South Africa? [chuckle!]
Anyway, good to see you around. Nothing quite like regular internet access, no?

utarefson670 In reply to DarthFar [2007-05-31 09:24:31 +0000 UTC]
Indeed I did move to South Africa but it lasted only 4 months. I had a good job offer in the UK...so I thought what the hell. lol
...and yes, I was getting Internet withdrawal symptoms...you know, shaky eyebrows, irregular breathing, seeing triple and randomly blurting out "LOL" when someone cracked a joke and then getting everyone staring at you. Its sad. But I'm happy now!

Hey..ow... Shit Ive been so out of it lately...this is the first chance Ive had to log on for months...anyways I'm alright but things aren't going as well as I hoped and I think I'm packing up my stuff and moving again...probably the UK...urgh... you must think Im nuts.lol
π: 0 β©: 1
FuzzyYak In reply to utarefson670 [2007-04-30 08:55:48 +0000 UTC]
LOL! Not at all. What happened? Why the move again?
π: 0 β©: 1
utarefson670 In reply to FuzzyYak [2007-05-11 12:00:34 +0000 UTC]
Well the main reason is financial. My ex-boss (UK) has been "harrassing" me and offering me shed loads of money. I guess I plan to come back to SA again but at the moment the offer is too good to say no.

FuzzyYak In reply to utarefson670 [2007-05-12 08:14:12 +0000 UTC]
Well, that makes sense then! It's all about the money! God, if I were asked to transfer to the UK tomorrow, I'd do it in a flash!

You are back on here!!!! I didn`t know!! (I have to chack the "journals" box, I guess!!!)
Welcome and stay with! us
I`ve noticed today a strange thing: people started suddenly favouring "She Sleeps". I thought somebody featured it in his journal, but who?? The mistery was solved when I went to the page with that drawing and saw that it become a Daily Deviation!!! I just couldn`t believe my eyes! First, I realize that you`re here again, and than ... I thought it would never happen to me hahaha
It`s so wonderful that you didn`t forget me and her hehe
Thank you thousand! You made my day, my week, my month!
I wonder how`s life in South Africa. I hope to hear from you soon.
Best regards,
Ivana

Hey hun. Yes I'm alive...barely. lol I promise I will be back on here regularly but at the moment it's not possible. Anyways Im moving again back to the UK and I will certainly, definitely, positively, surely be back on DA like ol' times. Miss you!

oh my god! oh my god! Your alive.. where the heck have you been young man!
Your moving again did your feet even touch the ground in SA?
Miss you too! can you tell

utarefson670 In reply to redwoody [2007-05-11 11:56:31 +0000 UTC]
Ha ha ha...hardly touched the ground. The fact is I'm just not adapting as I hoped. I'm a free spirit with no responsibilities so I'm going to go where ever the road takes me.
I've been here in SA...just haven't had internet and been working 80hours a week. No time to even be with my family, the very reason I came here in the first place....! Urgh I don't know it's just a whole bunch of stuff that is making me go back to the UK. Financial independence is the main but not only reason.

Well holy cow freedom batboy...good for you!
80 hour weeks egad didn't anyone ever tell you that all work and no play makes for a dull batman! I, wonderwoman speak from experience
Financial indepence ranks right up there for me too! I just have to find it
