I'm referencing a monkey dressed as the pope but I can't for the life of me find an image, so boo hoo no one knows what I'm talking about.

Anyways! In case y'all haven't noticed from the something like months of inactivity, I've officially left deviantart. You can find me at either of my tumblrs (phouin or implis). I'm not going to delete my account cause I'd probably never find some of this art again, and I'd love to have a painful experience or two looking back on old me, but I'm getting pretty sick of how much this site has deteriorated since I was first on it, and am rethinking if it was even all that great back then.

Anyways, bye children! Have fun... growing up a little, maybe?

Hey guys! Sorry I've been kind of really really inactive lately. I've been sucked up by tumblr, and devoting much more time to it for the past monthish, and am by no means stopping any time soon. So if you'd like to see me actually do anything, follow me on tumblr!
implis.tumblr.com/
Also, my art tag, which has quite a few repeats but also some bonus stuff: implis.tumblr.com/tagged/impli…

I'm so sorry to everyone I owe requests to!! I promise I'll have them done soonish, but I've been preeetty busy :P But I haven't forgotten about you guys, don't worry!!

So~ I want more internet love! And the only way I'm seeing thats going to happen is through fanart, which I don't do all that often. So I'm opening fanart requests, since its vacation! C:

Any character(s) from any show/book/webcomic(hinthint)/etc doing whatever you like. (I'm sure I won't personally like some of them, but I'll try to do justice to them all) :P
I'll start with 5 slots.

:star: means done, :star-half: means sketched, :star-empty: means not started
1. :star: :icondraxdrilox: - Inoue Orihime - Bleach
2. :star-half: Kanaya Maryam - Homestuck!
3. :star: Mathias and Cornflower - Redwall
4. :star: Darren Criss in a bow tie
5. :star-empty: :iconlenient-overdose: - Austria
6. :star-empty: :iconchicken-yuki: - Kana dude doing gangnam style!
7. :star-half: :iconbluejotain: - Lupa - Digital Devl Saga

I overran a bit, so I'm going to close these for now. If I reopen, (which will be in a few days if it happens), theres a good chance I'll be accepting only requests from homestuck or any animated disney/pixar/etc movie.... which is really a lot to choose from, and you can make up silly scenarios)

Done:

Secret Santa!

Dear Secret Santa,

For christmas, would you please draw me some silly cheesy or cool and intense, really whatever you like, picture of your choice of any of these characters (because I'm terrible at making up my mind!):

Hasprim and Delet:
Silly Elves by Implis Adventurers by Implis
They're currently off on an adventure to uh, get to their adventure. They're basically on a low provisioned two person camping trip, that sometimes passes through cities, in which case they get to stay in the same room at any inns they reach~ :iconohohoplz:

"These Two" (oops, I should name them~):
NCC2+3: Like Clockwork by Implis
They like to meet on rooftops, at night, because they're not ridiculously cliché or anything (sorrrry~) and the girl really likes to fiddle with clocks, while the boy likes to watch people :)

Or, if you'd like, you could draw any of the designs I created for the november character challenge - chocolatekokoa.deviantart.com/… :)
They're all random and might have some description in the artist comment.


Thanks very much! <3 you secret santa OuO

Just a thing I'd like to address, because it honestly bugs me a lot.

Growing up on deviantart (or, starting to anyways :P ), I've noticed that  a lot of people seem to judge other people entirely by their skill in art. I've noticed myself doing it countless times. And, if you want to do that in your own head, not affecting them, fine with me. But when people decide that because an artist is less skilled than they are, they don't have to treat them nicely - or even sometimes as someone with no feelings at all, it makes me angry. Judge someones art skill by their art skill, not their emotional depth and worth as a human. In fact really, it would be great if you could be decent and polite to them even if they're lacking in art skill and personality.
Because, on more than one occasion, I have asked for requests from, done art trades with, and been told I'd won prizes from, various deviantArtists, often more skilled than I, who simply do not do their part, and feel no need to excuse themselves. Sometimes I've been to nervous even to follow up and ask them about it - which admittedly made it partially my fault in those situations, as they might have forgotten and needed a helpful reminder. But really is forgetting an excuse anyways? Sometimes I have sent a note, (in a tone I consider decent and polite) to them about it, and they simply ignored me.
This does not apply to everyone I've traded etc art with, of course. I won an honorable mention in a contest by :iconmau-acheron: who has been incredibly sweet and apologetic about the fact that she won't be able to get the prize to me until december - but she's talking to me, which means I can check in again in december, and see how she's doing then, and I know that she hasn't entirely forgotten about it.

My advice to people owing art, who for some reason can't do it, or will not be able to do it for a while: please, just talk to the people you owe art to. Tell them something came up, and if you can't do it, tell them you can't, don't leave them waiting for months not knowing if you will or not! But don't just not do it out of laziness, especially if they have already done something for you - in the case of an art trade. If you can do it, but won't be able to for a while, give the person you owe it to a reasonable estimation of when they can expect you to do it! But don't decide that because someone is a "bad artist" you don't have to follow up on something you agreed to. Its unfair and hurtful.

To people who are owed art: talk to the people who owe you art! Be polite of course, but do talk to them. Ask especially when you can expect the art (maybe even ask that when you're sorting out the details of the trade/request). Don't troll them about it, or leave nasty comments on their wall - its much better to ask them by notes - its private, so they won't feel like you're putting public pressure on them, and also they'll probably see it sooner. Don't just wait until months have gone by and its probably unreasonable to expect they still remember about the trade - but also don't wait a week and then start nagging them. To find a reasonable amount of time - its probably best to just ask them in the first place when you should expect it, but if you don't - depending on how often they update other things, and especially if they're asking for more requests/commissions, I think sending them a friendly reminder 3 weeks to a month after the trade/request has been settled. And if its a trade, you want to wait at least 2 or 3 weeks after you've put up your side, because if it took you however much time, its reasonable to expect it took the other person a bit longer.


Tl;dr - Guys, its not ok to decide that people who aren't great artists aren't worth common decency - if you agree to do something, do it, or explain why you can't/won't.
