I know I've been gone for about 4 months. Many people visited me here and made favorites of my work. For that, let me say thank you here, as I don't have the time to go to each and every one of you and say thank you personally.

I've cleared all my boxes and am going to start Deviant Art over. Keep better track of my work, and the comments people leave me. If I seemingly ignored your comment or message, I'm sorry.

If you want to see what I've been up to please visit the following links:

My new comic featuring the love of my life. Updates every Friday.

Julie Light will be All New starting tomorrow, November third, and will update every Monday thereafter.

Thank you again for watching, favoriting my work, and for being interested in what I have to say. I will not be posting anymore journals after this one, as I have a journal at Blogger I'm going to keep updated.

WHAT I WILL AND WILL NOT DO -- RULES

There really isn't much I will not do. I draw the line at certain fetishes, and sexual or brutal violence against women, children and animals.

However, if you want fanart of your favourite characters kissing, having sex (a little S&M is fine), or just hanging out. I will do Yaoi or Yuri or Hetero pictures.
I can imitate nearly any style, though my normal artwork tends towards the Anime/Manga side of things. I can do Horror, and specialize in "Zombyfying" your
favorite Anime/Manga characters. Samples coming soon.

Truthfully, just contact me and we'll work something out. I'm always willing to work with people on pricing and on what they want.

The pictures remain mine in copyright - but yours to "show off" as you wish. Do not take my signature off the commission or alter it in ANY WAY without my permission
first. I have the right to use the finished product in my portfolio, or to upload it to DA - however, if it was done for you, it will be YOURS ONLY and will not be
sold to anyone else. You are welcome to print as many copies of the picture as you want, as long as my SIGNATURE REMAINS on it. Respect my rights, don't claim
the artwork as yours.

Contact me at:

paranormaldog@gmail.com or dee.serge@gmail.com

Or leave me a note/mssg here and I'll contact you.

This really nice person called ~angelishi has made a bunch of sweet and cute avatars for free use as long as you credit. So...credit I be doing.

I hope everyone is enjoying my tarot set. I'll be opening for commssions and doing some more contests once I'm done with my oral surgery and am feeling better.

Also, I'm currently working on 3 comics, Fighting Divine - Julie Light - and a new one - Dog People. Look forward to it!

Love,
Jodi

I'm working on a new series of fan-art. The Major Arcana of the Tarot matched with anime characters that personify the meanings of the cards.

The first is up - "0" - The Fool, Tohru Honda from Fruits Basket

I feel it's pretty obvious why I chose her, but just in case - to me she is the ultimate "Fool". Innocent yet wise. Fools are often on life-changing and self-discovering journeys, as is Tohru. They often look forward, with a positive attitude towards the future, as does Tohru.

My sources include "The Complete Tarot", "Celestial Tarot Handbook", and my own feelings and insights.

The second will be up soon. Can you guess who each of the major arcana will be? I'm sure some will surprise you.

For those on my friends list who actually read this journal - take a guess. I'll delay Card "1" from going up for a few days to give you guys time.

I'll list the Major Arcana here. Guess who I've chosen for the cards. Post your answers here, in this journal. The person who gets the most right - will win a free drawing from me!

0 The Fool 11 Justice
1 The Magician 12 The Hanged Man
2 The High Priestess 13 Death
3 The Empress 14 Temperance
4 The Emperor 15 The Devil
5 The Hierophant 16 The Tower
6 The Lovers 17 The Star
7 The Chariot 18 The Moon
8 Strength 19 The Sun
9 The Hermit 20 Judgement
10 The Wheel of Fortune 21 The World

Has a good simple explanation for all the cards. I got some information from there as well.

Happy Guessing!

Jodi

As I swiffer my way around here and get the dust off these comments and submissions, I thought I'd announce the fact I'm back.

In may my work owns my soul, as I'm busy preparing for Anime North and making money for the comic shop I work for. We had a great con, lots of sales, great volunteers, and long, long hours that I'm glad are over.

The Munny's I posted were ones I did for Anime North. I had fun customizing them to look like anime characters. I bought some air-dry clay so that I could do more like them, but work on making them more 3D. Munny's are fun, if you want a cheap distraction to get your artistic blood flowing again, you should check them out.

In other news, on June 6th (which also happens to be the day 4th ed D&D is released) I'm going in for some major oral surgery. If you can spare some good thoughts on that day, please send them my way.

The result is I will be taking time off of work, but seeing as how I don't deal with mouth pain all that well, I probably will be hard to reach. I won't be on here much, but will have tons of artwork and comics to show for it when I do return.

So if I don't reply to your comments, or just plain old miss your favoriting of my work, I apologize, and I want you to know that I do appreciate each and every time someone takes the time to notice me and my work. It makes me feel really good.

I'm off to play some WII fit and do some artwork. Have a good night, and may the Universe bless you all.
