Thank you!

For all of the birthday wishes! It was really something to log in today and see all of them, especially since I rally haven't been active on dA in some time.

I've been devoting a lot of my energy to other platforms recently, because, to be perfectly frank, dA has just never gotten me the jobs I need, and I have loans that are badly in need of paying off. Add a very limited amount of time that I have to just sit and be on the internet every day, and generally other sources just win out for what time I have.

I did recently reopen my Tumblr, though, and I've been queuing my work there (including new stuff!) like a pro!

Huzzah!

So a lot of you have noticed I don't spend a tonne of time on deviantArt anymore. I find that the interface is a lot more time-consuming than a lot of other websites, and for less page views (which, all in all, equals less work for me) -- which is unfortunate, because I do really love dA. It's where I got a lot of my start.

So I've cleaned out my watch list, and I'm going to do what I can to pop in every now and then to update photos for you guys.

HOWEVER.
If you'd like to see more of me, regularly, the following are websites where I'm spending much more of my time lately.

Facebook Fan Page
Twitter
Tumblr

There's also a Zivity account in the works; at the moment I'm just waiting for my paperwork to clear, and then we're good to go!

Kisses!

Just going to leave this outtake from the lightsaber shoot here for you guys.



Star Wars + Lovecraft = Mind Blown.


In other news, Poisonne.com is going to be launching soon-ish (within the next week or so if all goes according to schedule), which is where I'm going to be taking the majority of my updates. I'll still give you guys here some love, though!

So apparently I missed my most recent (third? Am I on three?) DD --

Demonology by Blade-Of-Mako


Which makes me pretty happy, since this was one of my most favourite shoots to date (I have a print of this framed on my wall, and the photographer has a much bigger print that I want to steal from him), and one of the most intensive to set up -- we started at about 9 PM on the edge of the lake (the rocks are set up to break the waves coming in an minimize erosion in the area), and worked through until about 3 AM, when we drove our car back out of the now long-closed park, laden down with all of the propane canisters and people we'd used to get the shoot done.

All of the fire used in the photo is real, and set up by two trained professionals who work with propane and fire for a living, as well as for hobbies as artists who set up huge fire installations on a regular basis. Our photographer and assistant were also trained fire performers, so aside from one brief scare where a pocket of propane gave off a little "whoomph" of ignition when we lit one of the back-most crevices, everything ran wonderfully smoothly.

So in short, I would not recommend trying this at home. You will die.

There are outtakes somewhere, during the preliminary test photos (before we lit ALL the fire), where you can see the fire on one side of me, and the water from the lake splashing up on the other. Probably also video of it somewhere on the photographer's hard drive that will never be seen again. ;)

Another question that was asked frequently in the comments as I went through them today, was how are there so many veins in the photo? The other model and I didn't paint them on (though we did do the rest of our own makeup and styling); the photo was actually taken with a converted Infra-Red Camera, and then colour-corrected later (as infra-red photographs in a strange, pseudo black and white) to the true colour of the fire once again.

So thanks again, DA! I swear, I'm working on updating more often. Just another couple weeks of school to go and then I'm free!

So holy crap, it's been a while.

Good news is that I'm alive. Bad news is I'm burried under -- oh, let's see -- full-time work, part-time modelling, part-time performing, and full-time school. I seem to have packed more hours into the day than anyone else has, and I can't decide whether to be horrified or elated.

Bad news is that holy shit have I been neglecting my dA!

So here's what I'm going to do.

Seriously remove like everyone from my dA watch list so that I don't wind up browsing on here when I'm supposed to be working -- but, start uploading deviations again. That in itself actually takes a fair amount of time, as I'm sure most of you know.

Otherwise, you can find me in all these cool places, which take less time and attention to update than dA, generally, and I can do it on the fly.

(I'm going to be working on getting my website up in the next couple of months, once school dies down for the summer.)

And if you need to reach me for any reason, e-mail is really the only sure-fire way to ensure that I'm going to see it immediately; just send it off to poisonne.bookings -at- gmail.com.
