General Stuff:
Things are still moving along at their usual fast pace. Round 31 of our game, Survival Guide: Dust Settles, just started on the 1st, and things are moving along there. We've posted our first set of outtakes and a first impressions review of GTA IV, and we're finishing up the full review now. Other of our group projects are churning along, some more slowly than others, but time is limited.

My Art:
In my personal art, I've started on a set of zodiac designs. Each one will feature a stone that is associated with the sign in the center surrounded by alternating square and circle layers. I'm still working on trying to improve and branch out with my art, especially after seeing some of the awesome mandalas that deviants like ~Jewelfly, ~Varcolaci, ~TlachtgaDreamArtist, *Cha0sCat, and many others have made, so I decided to branch out from my usual only circle or only square designs to make something a little different. I may post an early version of one of the mandalas later if anyone is interested. Those will probably take me awhile to finish, though, and I'm really not sure if I should just post them as I complete them or wait and post them all at once. Any opinions would be appreciated.

Thoughts About Fav Section:
I'm constantly finding new (to me at least) deviants that I really find talented, and as such, my fav section is growing very very quickly. Because of this, I've thought about adding new folders for my absolute favorite pieces in a given category (like jewelry or photography - people, etc.) with deviants who I would consider to fit that category listed in alphabetical order underneath. Obviously, this wouldn't diminish the overall size of my favs section, but I'm wondering if it might make it more organized for anyone brave enough to take a peek. Obviously, I've got a number of deviants with folders in my fav section who are talented in multiple fields of art. Instead of repeating these, I would just list the deviant according to what kind of art of theirs I prefer the most. In some instances this may not be their main style of art, so I'm not sure if that would be wise. Overall, these are still just thoughts churning through the back of my mind. If any of you have any suggestions or opinions, I'd love to hear them.

Anyway, enough random chatter for the day. Take care of yourselves, and thanks as always to the people who take the time to visit, read, comment, fav, and watch. You guys are fantastic.
