I haven't logged into deviantART for approximately 2 years, which means I'll probably have to relearn its features and discover any new additions from the past 700 or so days.  One criticism I've received about my art in the past was the low quality.  No, not the "quality" on how well it's drawn (that's my own personal gripe) but how it appears on the computer.  My art tools of choice were regular and colored pencils, which look fine on the actual paper, but lose a lot when scanned into the computer.  Even auto-enhancing the image in various photo-editing programs was of little help.

For my 28th birthday last year, I asked for and received a WACOM tablet.  Now I can just draw a sketch on paper, scan it, and trace it with an art program.  That makes the picture appear much better online.  I have no idea why I'll telling anyone this... I'm quite certain you're all aware.  I haven't learned all the ins and outs of my art programs yet as far as "special effects" go, but perhaps I'll set aside some time to be investigative.

There's a good chance that a lot of the color pencil drawings you find here may be redone with the tablet.  For now, I present them in their original colored pencil forms.
