Apologies

Journal Entry: Wed May 7, 2008, 1:11 PM
I guess I haven't updated in a while...sorry for that. I have a lot of people still waiting for my commissions, but a number of things have kept me preoccupied...my parents' visit this weekend, my job, college, and particularly my new Wii system...though I am still slowly working on new pieces, I might not have too many more updates until summer break.

I've also noticed one of my works has been removed due to a supposed TOS violation...it was, admittedly, a bit risque compared to my other works. I guess I'll need to be more careful what I post here, but let's hope that this incident remains isolated, as I don't want to have to leave this community.

I promise I'll update again once I've cleared out my schedule and commissions queue a bit....in the meantime, check out the AVGDID boards to see some of my newer works not yet posted here.

Peace out.

Great gallery, Merinthos. Not to mention you've draw a lot of my favorite characters more than once! Keep them coming :D.
~Merinthos:iconMerinthos: Mar 31, 2008, 8:03:38 AM
Oh yeah, that was something I started last year, a Tales series group picture that I never got around to finishing. I might post that one here eventually, but for now I'm busy working on other things.

There is a thread on that series entitled "Tales of Distress" in the Video Game Art section of AVGDID, it's probably still buried in there somewhere. That's where all my DID character art for the Tales characters can be found.

I still haven't done Rebirth or the "Dungeon" series yet, or added any background. It's a fairly old series of pics too, so it's not as clean as my more recent works. Maybe when I do the final version I'll spruce things up a bit, but it'll be quite a bit of work...it's not something I'd like to undertake right now. Don't worry though, I'll eventually get it done in some form or another.

I've got a rather large archive of rough sketches that I've never finished, ranging from group pictures to comics pages. Some of my commissions works have actually been pulled out from those roughs, with minor alterations of course. Most of them are kinda crappy IMO, but if I decide to open up a scraps section here on DA, I might post some selections of those roughs later on.

I'm sorry.
It is the first image in this animation.

It will be what you drew.

Are you attempting to ask me who commissioned one of my works? I get most of my requests from AVGDID board members, though I'm kinda obligated not to give out their names.

If your asking where or from what medium a particular DID originated, I usually specify that in the comments section. If you're asking me how I do my work, I use Photoshop CS2 to scan and color lineart that I've drawn, using a variety of techniques.

I hope I've answered whatever your question is, I'm not fluent in Japanese though.

Are impressed to see the picture, and always thank you for the
highest work.
[link] though I want to hear one. Do you
understand most who the author of the first picture is of v=XYIeRpGh14
8?
I want you to teach.

I'll look into it.

Thanks for the watch! Will you be at the Pittsburgh Comicon in Monroeville next month? If so, please stop by and say, Hi! I'll have a table in Artists Alley.

Specifically, what think were you thinking to tink with my kink?
~JakJak5:iconJakJak5: Feb 17, 2008, 3:40:38 AM
Hey! I found your Commission 002: Yin and Yang picture and thought it would be interesting if I did my own little think with it.

I would like to post it here on DevArt, only if it's ok with you. =) I'll give full recognition.

The man hasn't stuck it to me yet...but seeing some of the other galleries on this site, I think my work falls within the acceptable standards and practices, and is only mildly suggestive at worst.
~JosD:iconJosD: Feb 10, 2008, 5:32:06 AM
i dont know if in this galleryyou have it more pics than youre showing
Im just asking because a friend of mine had some pics but the deviant deleted them (damn those stupids just because of some of mistakes of him)
~Merinthos:iconMerinthos: Feb 2, 2008, 4:36:26 PM
I've heard a lot about the infamous *chan forums, but I've not often been there. The Giovanni thing made me laugh though.

I have a lot more personal projects I want to do, but until I start working again this April I can't afford to slack off on my commissions work, as it's my only direct source of income right now. Once baseball season starts again I plan to resume working on my other projects, including some more large group pics like the pkmn one, and maybe some more comics pages. But if I feel so inclined I may continue doing this work as well, though it is strenuous sometimes.

Anyway, thanks for posting. I'll keep on doing my best to satisfy all my fans. :ninjaplot:

Oh wow!!
I'm amazed you're on DA - and that I managed to come across you! Your pieces are pretty well-known 'round the *chans, and bring me much joy when they get posted~

You're seriously my hero. :B
<3!!

I'm forever blowing bubbles,
Pretty bubbles in the air.
They fly so high,
Nearly reach the sky,
Then like my dreams,
They fade and die.

I'm not really into that series, but if you really want me to you could try commissioning me, read my journal above for the details.
