Will resume artwork in a few months...

Journal Entry: Sat Apr 5, 2008, 3:59 PM
Hope you all caught the season 4 premiere of BattleStar!

Just wanted to let everyone know that this site won't be updated for a few months.
I'm upgrading my computer, and that means reinstalling every program.

But I'll still answer questions and whatnot.

.......

The producers of BattleStar have given me a break.
They're going to split this season into two chunks.

During the first chunk, I'll get things in order.
During the break, I'll make new art.
During the last chunk, I'll start sharing art.

.......

This gives me the chance to watch the show, and appreciate the characters.
They're all doing such different things this year.
I have to learn their new personalities and roles to create art out of them.

Luckily, my old Baltar artwork was dead-on.
He is the messiah I imagined he would turn into.
But the revelation of Tigh, Tory, Chief, and Anders as Cylons has changed things.
Not to mention, the mystery around Kara.

........

Anyways, enough useless chatter from me.
Look forward to the future.

Best,
Ashoka Raza

A girl asked a guy if he thought she was pretty,
He said...no.
She asked him if he would want to be with her forever...and he said no.
She then asked him if she were to leave would he cry, and once again he replied with a no.
She had heard enough. As she walked away, tears streaming down her face the boy grabbed her arm and said...
You're not pretty you're beautiful.
I don't want to be with you forever, I NEED to be with you forever.
And I wouldn't cry if you walked away...I'd die...
SO NOW I WILL SAY:
I like you because of who you are to me...A true friend.
And if I don't get this back I'll take the hint.
Tonight at midnight your true love will realize they like you.
Something good will happen to you at 1:00-4:00 PM tomorrow.
It could be anywhere -- AOL, Yahoo, outside of school, anywhere.
Get ready for the biggest shock of your life.
Please send to 15 people in 15 minutes.
Remember:
"A good friend will come bail you out of jail....
But a true friend will be sitting next to you saying ...
WE screwed up, but we had fun! "
Proud to be your Friend!
Make sure you read all the way down to the last sentence, and don't skip ahead.
I've learned...that life is like a roll of toilet paper.
The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.
I've learned...that we should be glad God doesn't give us everything we ask for.
I've learned...that money doesn't buy class.
I've learned...that it's those small daily
happenings that make life so spectacular.
I've learned...that under everyone's hard shell is someone who wants to be appreciated and loved.
I've learned...that the Lord didn't do it all in one day.
What makes me think I can?
I've learned...that to ignore the facts does not change the facts.
I've learned.
I've learned...that the less time I have to work, the more things I get done.
To all of you...make sure you read all the way down to the last sentence.
Show your friends how much you care.
Send this to everyone you consider a FRIEND, even if it means
sending it back to the person who sent it to you.
If it comes back to you, then you'll know you have
a circle of friends

Wow... you have a huge bsg collection of art. Great stuff. Always good to find another bsg fan, especially one with such a love for the show. Well I assume so from the masses of submissions. :) Keep up the good work.

Yeah, such a great series and only four seasons!
But I have to admit that I've only seen the first two, cause the third isn't published yet in Germany!
But I'm so looking forward to it!
I always read the spoilers on the internet! ;)

We even want to create costumes for Karneval! :D
My boyfriend and his best friend want to go as Apollo and Starbuck from the old series, I'm not sure yet what I want to be then... maybe Dualla? means a lot of paint! :D

Thanks for the gesture Raven!

Although, I have to be honest...I have no idea what "I'm watching you" refers to. I know it's a button... :(

I'll figure it out after I upload the rest of the art.

Again, thanks for welcoming me. :)

This is my first time using "Deviant"...

And it's NOT easy.
I'm uploading sigs and avatars, and it's really time-consuming. Not only do I have to upload them 1 by 1.... I have to place them in appropriate categories.

Takes too much time.
