now a small rant...
i was with no subscription since september and the thing is that i have paid for 6 months (september/december). apparently there is a problem with my re-billing settings, since i am not signed to automatic re-billing but the system keeps charging my credit card... the problem is that dA does not add the subscription packages to my account. i have contacted the help desk twice (i have attached all the payment orders, credit card invoices and stuff) but honestly, that is not working as they say that is everything ok. BUT IT IS NOT OK! i was charged twice and have not received the 6 months i have paid for. sorry for opening that to all of you guys, but if anyone knows how to help me, please let me know.

see you around and a very happy New Year for you all people! :hug:

hey people!

sorry for the lack of updates, i have been really really busy last months and have not been able to draw anything... actually i am in Denmark by now for a week of exchanging knowledge/information with my work colleagues from here. well, at least work is going pretty ok and i am very satisfied with it - and sort of keeps me away of thinking on how far my life is going from i expected... =(

but everything will be fine again at some point, i believe.

see you soon, i hope with a fresh new illustration. :hug:

holy sh*t!

you know, dealing with art theft is always an annoying situation...
but sometimes these art thieves can outdo themselves and the situation gets even more disturbing...

do you believe on this? [link]
and the idiot wants a proof that the illustration belongs to me... haha!
he posted it just here where everyone knows that the illustration is mine and worst, he didn't even remove my signature...

:no:

thank you so much guys and dA staff! the deviation is now out! =)

hey,
just a stop by to wish you Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
remember that our happiness and success depend exclusively on us...
so, keep the good things you have made, but the most important:
look to what you have been doing wrong, be strong and change,
no matter what it takes. this will keep you in the right way.

take care,

...again, finally!

i really do not know why i take so long to start or sometimes to finish a new drawing. many deviations of my favorite artists, many things i see always inspire me, i want to draw but... i just do not do anything! weird...

:confused:
i always thought it was due to my incomparable laziness, but today i do not think so... i just... dunno.

anyway, now i have this drawing (started like 2 months ago... pfff!) with 50% done, which i hope to finish very soon... i am very satisfied with the way it is by now, maybe a good reason to keep going motivated. may i will post some preview soon. =)

take care,
Marcus

hey!
after a long and stressful year... i'm finally on












Jesus, i thought this day would never come...
but anyway, now i have twenty days to rest a little.

nothing new to post yet, though...
but i'm drawing for the WinterWolf contest.
the deadline is April 10th, so hopefully i'll have something done till that date.

and i'm rather annoyed cause some site is using my adrianaLima as its header...
the worst, it is a PORN site! wtf? damn!
thanks !ruiagneloup for letting me know...


hope everything is going well with you my friends.
see you soon.

take care,
Marcus

hey!
let's celebrate the arrival of...










i made a promise to myself...
2007 will be the best year ever.

i know it doesn't depends exclusively on me, but i will do my best to keep my promise...
my part will be carried out! :nod:

not much to say...
only that there won't be space for laziness in the day-to-day. i will be focusing in the things i think are truly important to my life, things that really makes me feel in good spirits.

you can expect for much more activity here, more works and why not, some very good news!

so, happy new year my friends! and thank you for being always supporting my work.

take care,
Marcus

Cool?

Journal Entry: Sun Oct 1, 2006, 6:07 PM

wow, awesome!
that's really such a nice stuff: css journal.
don't you think this is really...












yeah! even having not all properties allowed, it is still really nice that we can now choose colors, fonts, backgrounds and stuff... but the best thing is that we are free to create our own layout. cool!

there are good sites about css at the Internet... i would suggest W3Schools in the section html tutorials > learn css. very good.

here in DA you can find templates and good tutorials too (sorry but i do not remember the links now... i will update when i have something return to mind)

update!
really good DA references: lolly's journal.

but seriously, if you want to go into a distinctive, unusual layout, coding the css probably will make you go nuts, like i am now... mainly if you are not so familiar with the code like me... holy crap! why those positioning properties do not work as expected?

this is a test journal... something to see how this new thing works. i hope most of browsers are displaying it correctly, but i'm almost sure that the crappy internet explorer will not show transparent pngs (my fading background) and worse, it will to mess up all the layout i did... ¬¬

well, that's it by now...
sorry for some bad words but i'm really mad now... damn css! but still cool, hehe.

i'm alive!

Tue Jul 11, 2006, 8:28 PM


yes, i'm alive!

well, the work is still killing me... but at least i'm working in something new...
it'll be a small series of drawings using *insert your guessings here* :giggle: ...

i've posted a little preview of the first vector in my scraps - i'm alive - but, as i know myself, that will change a lot until the final version... it probably will be my most complex and detailed work until now and many hard decisions are confusing me a lot... but now i think i'm in the way i want.

in the other side, i'm extremely happy because Shaz made a Milla Jovovich vector for me because i caught her 50000 pageview. i must say, a stunning work! i love it so much, absolutely. thank you Sharon, thank you so much! :hug:

and, to finish, i'd like to show you some new intersting works i've seen lately...


of course, my Milla, from `ChewedKandi


from *LimKis - omg, she is unbelievable!


from ~manitu - how detailed can be a vexel?


from ~artist2 - he has mad painting skills


from ~Snow-Owl - pure talent with pencils

transparent gradients in illustrator

Sun Feb 19, 2006, 2:27 PM



hello people...
i've been so busy and tired lately...
i'm not even having time to reply the comments... sorry for that. i'll do it as soon as i can...
hope to have some time to work in something new soon...

---
and hey,
i've been asked some times if corelDraw has some tool which makes transparent gradients, like gradients from one color to transparent...  yes, it has... and that was, for me, the main advantage comparing it with illustrator...

i said it was, because when browsing the digital art (vector) forum, i found this thread [link] which has some interesting tip from ~igorshmigor quoting this tutorial [link] ...

it's possible achieve the same result with illustrator and it's pretty easy too...
and as the tutorial is kinda complicated, i've made a little one simplifying the steps...
hope it could be useful...

well...

it's time to write a new journal...

sorry for not being actively in the last three weeks, but they were really hard at work.
i'm now working more closely with my company's head office in Denmark, and then the deadlines mustn't have delays, which means that i need to work and work and work to meet them. not to mention the new software learning and the time difference - i've less time them i seem to have.

but anyway, this is a nice thing. i'm learning to work with some new good - i'd say awesome - softwares, like Adobe InDesign, which is really important for my professional development.

hey, i have my first interview published! :

thank you so much ~PamzyLove and the vectorpeeps team!

that tagged thing...

Sat Oct 15, 2005, 6:30 PM
so, i've been tagged...
i usually don't write about me, but hey! it's nice... i could write more things yet...  well, dears ~fendichiq and ~magiik, here are 20 randon things about me...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. spiders really scare me (i was bitten by one a couple of years ago and i had to stay in the hospital for one day long and, after, taking medicaments for a long time due to the allergy).

2. i used to like the winter and its cold days... today, i simply hate the winter. it's hard to do anything, other than to sleep, epecially if you are dating or if you are married. (damn, i hate to be lonely :cries:).

3. at the beach, i never go inside the sea (don't ask me why, i don't have the answer). to say the truth, i only go out the house to go walk in the sand or whatever by nights.

4. i really really hate writing in capital letters in the computer. however, my handwriting is generally in capitals (what an absurd thing :sarcasticclap:).

5. i think i use to much the word "really", when i'm writing in english. (hmmm, my english is not that thing as well).

6. one of my favorite foods is bread with butter and popcorn inside :chew: :P ... well, the normal favorite food is barbecue.

7. i used to hate beers.. today i drink a lot of them, but only in the company of my friends, never alone. i also drink a lot of tea too.

8. even considering myself as a shy person, when i'm with some specific people i'm completely the opposite :confused:

9. i simply hate waking up early! i hate waking up early! i hate waking up early! :sleep:

10. i like to read a lot, but lately every time i start reading something, :yawn: i sleep...

11. i'm graduated in International Trade, but i never worked with.

12. i had never gotten arts, drawing or design courses... i really want to do one someday.

13. you will only see me dancing if i'm completely drunk (which isn't so difficult last days... nah, i'm kidding).

14. i absolutely love animation movies, like finding nemo and nightmare before christmas.

15. i love pets. i have two dogs - inès (dachshund) and shiva (boxer) - and they are really part of the family.

16. you always have to remind me the things... i forget almost everything.

17. if you're looking for a synonym for laziness, you'll probably find "marcus" =P

18. i left everything to be done at the last hour :no: ... and i spend so much time in things that are not necessary (damn perfectionism :shakefist:). so, i simply can't handle my time, i'm always late.

19. i usually spend much more money than i have :threaten:, but i care so much with my things... well, other than my bank account =P.

20. my family and friends are my life. they are higher than everything. :cuddle:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


so... i tag ~PamzyLove, ~Marutanielle, ~YuumuraKirika and ~turp and anyone else who want to write about you in your jornal. I would really ( i told you that i use this word too much)  like to read.


now, new features... great artists and friends...

:thumb23366143:


well, that's all by now...
and i have to remember that i have to draw my journal headers...

see you people.

i'm still under effects of that cold... some remaining cough yet, but i guess i'm ok now.

so, it's time to show some other favorite great artists...

:thumb22189013: :thumb20715768:


btw, i guess i never told you :O_o:, but my brother (hey, today is his birthday =)) has an account here at DA too... some of you might know him... he's kind of "macabre" artist and has unbelievable skills with photoshop.

--> ~acqua <--


and yeah! finally i'm back to the vector portraits and this week a new work should be posted... i'm really wanting to submit a wip of it but... it's almost done... so i'll try to wait a few more days =D


that's all by now...
see you later.
