Deviation Actions
Very hard to believe I have more than 20,000 watchers now!
I think it went over a few days ago, I checked my stats and was over the moon!
Thanks everyone for all the support, dA is my online sanctuary. It has been for over 10 years!
I have some special thank you's:
you told me to sign up on dA so you started all this!
for taking the time to personally help me with my artwork, filling in all the weak spots with your years of knowledge.
I really thought you were an a-hole when you didn't like my work, but your approval was like a Pokemon gym badge and it was going to take some work!
for believing in my art and letting me use your character concepts to strengthen my own design skills
for being a great friend and listener when I was super down and out
for helping me out with dA probs and being supportive about my vector work, thanks man!!!
for my first daily deviation!
for recognizing my watercolor work!
My Manila "Krew"
fun times offline and online, hope to see you all soon!
also very supportive of me and my art!
Benevolent beauties:
Thanks for taking a chance on me, especially since you didn't have to.
Unlikely bud:
Thanks for giving me a chance even after all that which was my fault. I'm so glad I got to know more about you and spend time with you!
I'm likely forgetting some people so I will update accordingly as I remember. Forgive me and please don't take offense!
2023!
My last journal was 8 months ago! I haven't been keeping up with journaling on here. Thanks for sticking around if you're reading this. I think I am more active on LinkedIn now- I never thought that day would come, dun dun dun... Some cool stuff will be happening soon so I might be posting more. Hope you have all been well- seems like everyone is getting a cold nowadays.
Spring 2022
Wow! My last update was back in January! Prepare for a bit of a photodump + random happenings not exactly in chronological order... Working at home and at the office has been great. I like going into the office to break things up during the week. Interact with other human beings, grab a snack, etc. GDC week was fun! I met a coworker for the first time at an afterparty! Yummy drinks sponsored by T-Mobile and Tapjoy!
January
First, new work space setup! This was so crucial to my productivity and overall mood. Glad was finally able to address this. My husband assembled the desk and I'm glad he did because this was not user friendly. It came in so many pieces! I love it, though. I cooked pancit following my mom's recipe. She said it was very good! Life has gotten so expensive... Everything is so expensive... Cooking at home has become non-negotiable. I'm still setting up a new computer so I don't have all my files on here. But I made a neat video with my coworker that you can find on my Twitter account http://www.twitter.com/tahopaints
Winter 2021 Updates
Wow, I've been so busy that I skipped Fall updates. Wishing you are all doing well. Despite everything going on in the world, I hope you're able to find moments of creativity and inspiration. Times of focus and quiet, to make and just... let your ideas run wild! I haven't had the luxury to work much on my own stuff lately. But I do have a ton of ideas, I jot them down in my notebook and return to them weeks, months, sometimes years later. I've never wasted an idea! If I'm not the one to bring it to life, I share it with a good friend. Sadly, the past few weeks and months have been a drain on my energy. In the past, when I'd find myself surrounded by negativity, I'd decide it was time to book a flight and take my family across the globe! Night lights and flavors in Beijing, finding a hidden playground in the heart of Tokyo and seeing my kids enjoy every moment of it. Even locally, I could find wonders in the same trail I hike. A flower blooming, a stone turned just a tad bit
