EDIT: My new account is here: :iconbinkvallen: Sadly there's nothing on it yet, but I'll fix that eventually. :P

Hey guys. I don't know if anyone's paying any attention to me anymore, since I haven't been active in forever, but for any of you who are still watching me I guess I owe you an apology for ditching the site. A lot has been happening in my life, lately. No, scratch that. Nothing's happening in my life, but a lot of stuff has been happening inside of my head.

As of late, I've had absolutely no interest in fan art. It's been waning for years now, but ever since Omniverse started I've had just about zero inclination to make any sort of fan work. That's part of why I've been shying away from deviantart lately; I set myself up here as a fan artist, you all know me as a fan artist, and I'm scared you'll be disappointed if I stop doing what I've always done. I know that's a bit silly, but the embarrassment of my sudden change in interest has made me tentative to put any of my latest art on here. I need to change that.

What I want is to use deviantart to share my art with the world, but when I share it I don't want people seeing all of my old crappy unoriginal fan works instead of my better new stuff. I also want to focus on following artists who inspire me rather than fuel my love for some franchise. (And, of course, my friends. I don't want to abandon you guys, I miss you. :heart:) I've decided that, instead of taking a million years cleaning out my gallery and watch list, I'm just going to move over to a brand spankin' new account. On there, I'll mostly be posting original artwork, graphic design, and original stories, so if you're following me for Ben 10 stuff only, I wouldn't bother watching me again.

But, if you're one of my friends on here who I haven't spoken to in forever, I AM SO INCREDIBLY SORRY I MISS YOU LIKE CRAZY I'M ACTUALLY GETTING ALL EMOTIONAL OVER HERE. Guys, I know you've probably either forgotten about me or decided that I don't care about you, but I want to see you guys again so badly. It's been really lonely lately, and I never realized how much I loved being able to talk to you guys until my stupidity and embarrassment kept me from contacting you. :( *sniffles*

Anywho, on a less sentimental note, I haven't made the account yet, but I will soon. I'll update the journal then, I guess. So, is anybody still there?

I haven't been active on here in a really long time. o.o Sorry about that. It's been crazy, with the school play and college applications and stuff. I'm going to try and be on more, though I probably won't be posting nearly as much fanart type things because I need to work on my college portfolio and colleges don't like fanart. :XD:

Also, I just want to share my thoughts on Omniverse. I like it and really don't like it at the same time. I like it because there's Rook, the animation is much smoother, the backgrounds are fantabulous, Ben's character has improved, and it's all just a lot of fun. It's enough for me to keep watching, but at the same time I've been having difficulty enjoying it. I feel like the writing has gone downhill a bit, mostly the battle dialogue. The amount of bad puns is insufferable. DX

But most of all, I feel like they've just given up on the science fiction aspect of it. Too many of the aliens are obviously based off of some animal or inanimate object or archetype. I mean, inspiration is fine, but just taking an Earth animal, putting it on two legs, and giving it a personality composed of animal stereotypes is just unoriginal and unrealistic to the point where I can't suspend disbelief. Far too often they do this for the sake of a joke, like the pig alien who was mad about Ben eating bacon. Why would an alien that happens to resemble a pig be mad about Ben eating an Earth pig? They're not actually related. -.- I admit, UAF did this too, but they at least tried to make it sound like science.

I just hope it takes a turn for the serious like UA did after trying to lighten things up. Ben 10 is at it's best when it's a little bit grungy, like in the original series. Remember when Zombozo and Vilgax and all the other villains were actually creepy, and the aliens weren't Earth animal ripoffs? Good times. >W<

Sorry, rant over. So, how is everyone doing? XD

I know, I haven't been doing much of anything anyway here. XD Point is, there's a hurricane coming my way, so I might be without power for a while, and therefore without internet. At all. So if you can't get in touch with me, that's why.

I'm in the mood to write a Gwevin story, but I have absolutely zero ideas. Anyone willing to contribute one for me to write? At all? Or maybe a picture for me to base it off of? I'll take a song even. I really need inspiration. :XD:
