I like the kanji pictures I did. I feel like doing more, but I don't know what to do. So, people should suggest to me random words that you suspect exist in Japanese (or Chinese...) or, if you want to go further, find a base kanji picture for me to work with.

I've been feeling creative recently, but also lazy. So maybe I'll produce somethign interesting sometime soon. And if so, I'll put it up here, despite what I said a couple journals back.

People who draw me chikkins will get 50,000 points. I like chikkins. Yay! I already have some from other people.

No, you wont get anything else in return.
No, you can't use the points for anything (Not that I've discovered yet, anyway)
Yes, you'll make me happy.
I might do something for you. Might.

If you didn't get it, chikkin = cooler than a chicken.

I jsut received this note from DeviantArt staff, telling me that all the cards I've made for YuGiOh and Magic: The Gathering are copywrite violations, apparently even the ones using public domain art or that I drew myself, or received permission to use the art for. This is ridiculous, but I don't feel like arguing it. There are thousands of such artworks on DeviantArt, and I haven't looked to see whether they all have been removed, but much as I think it would be a tragedy, I hope that is the case, rather than a specific targetting of myself and possibly a few other people. Therefore, I will definitely never again upload any cards I make here, and I probably won't put anything else, either. I think that's a shame, because DA is a great comunity and I don't want to stop using it. But if I'm going to have my Deviations taken down even with the art being done by myself, or with the artists permission, or taken form the public domain, then what sanctity is there for my creations?
