Hey everyone!

I know, its been quite awhile since I've written an entry here. I've honestly been a bit overwhelmed this past year and the train hasn't slowed down! I'm extremely happy/honored to have so many followers and views! Everyone that pays my art any attention has a place in my heart! Thanks really! Now I haven't been super active here clearly and don't want to commit to saying that would change. For a few reasons I've decided to use DeviantArt less, while I won't be shutting down this DA or removing any artwork, nor will I stop uploading entirely, I will be using Tumblr a bit more. If you already follow my tumblr, great! You probably know I use that for dumping artwork. The format is quicker to upload many files and It lays them out decently, plus I can link it to my twitter which is hardly used as it is! If you don't know my tumblr check it out here: ceruleanraven.tumblr.com

TLDR; I'm on tumblr more than here! Come look! (Link Above)

Hey everyone! 

I hope you're all doing well! Myself? I've been a bit busy... lies, a lot busy. I've been hard at work, literally. I recently got full time at Harebrained Schemes and have been working on two awesome projects! One that shipped already called Shadowrun Returns: Dragonfall. harebrained-schemes.com/shadow… and the other is Golem Arcana. golemarcana.com/

I would LOVE it if you could check it out! 
This is a short entry as I'm currently at work and don't want to look like a slacker! (Even though I'm always lurking on here.) :)

P.S. Holy cow I passed 100k pageviews! What a milestone, I'm gonna have to draw something to celebrate!
Also, thank you everyone for the nice comments and favorites! There are more than I can keep up with at this point. I apologize! I'll try to get back to people soon!

Hey everyone!

I hope you've all been doing well! So here's the scoop on me:

I've recently got an internship with Harebrained Schemes! The creators of Shadowrun and Shadowrun Returns. I'm very excited about it and have been enjoying my time there. 

As for the real reason most of you watch me, yes i'm working on another Elemental! She was heavily requested so please look forward to it! 

Life overall has been good to me lately, its been giving me exactly what I need I think. If you guys want to see more of my work and sketches please go to my tumblr!

Hey friends, co-workers... lovers Jackdirt ,

I hope you've all been doing well! Me? I've been enjoying my summer working and all around being a huge dofus. Exciting! Right? 

Here's the plan, you comment in this Journal and tell me which Disney Elemental you'd like to see next! I'm raring to make one but there are too many options and its making me crazy. This is the first time I've asked this so I'm curious to see how this goes! 

:shifty: So post below and LET ME KNOW. :shifty: 


ALSO: If you would like to see this series as a print, let me know. If there is enough demand I'll make it happen!

Hey everyone!

[ UPDATE: 5-25-2013! My artwork has been featured on the Official Playstation Blog!
Please check it out! :D I'm So excited!
playstation.tumblr.com/post/51… ]

It's CR, back from the Crypt.

So I uploaded a new Elemental! Did... did I dun gud? She was fun but oh boy what a challenge! Its funny when I get an idea and am all: "Boo yah, that's a homerun idea. You'll nail this easy." But after the 20th drawing I'm all: "WHAT HAPPENED YOU STUPID CLOUT! Oh yeah, walk away, go eat a cinnabon. That'll solve this Vanellope TRAVESTY."
I talk very uplifting towards myself as you can see.

Anywwassyy, It's summer now. Or well i don't know official dates, but to me its summer now. So first off, I have time for commissions! So message me if you'd like me to draw something! A full colored character, no bg will be about $40.

Secondly, I don't really have words of advice for today.
Eat less, exercise more, take your vitamins? You know what, I'm not a doctor I shouldn't tell you how to live your life. Those things have helped me recently though! Hmm maybe I'll think of some inspiring words later, for now I'll just fill the blank space with some text art or somethin'.
