My friend is having a birthday

And I am giving away points :points: Yes lots and Lots of Points :points: (well at least by my standards) to help them.


So here's the deal. My Friend Joey Plays in a band, a small little duo named ALTERNATIVE SYMPHONY that doesn't have all that much of a following and this year (since we can't do a party for him) we wanted to do something special the kind of gift you don't get every year and one that will hopefully help his dream.


5 :points: if you: Comment on one of their videos. That's 5 :points: PER VIDEO (YES THAT MEANS YOU CAN COMMENT ON EVERY VIDEO. and it adds up. NICE things only please, actual comments and compliments. A smiley face or other emoji on its own does not count. Also PLEASE DO NOT JUST WRITE THE SAME THING ON EVERY VIDEO. This is a birthday present and so I don't want the comments to just feel like spam. You can write similar things but please not word for word the same.


15 :points: if you: Subscribe to their channel


:bulletblue:Anyone who comments on all the videos (again nicely) and subscribes will get a bonus of:


5 :points: just for doing it all and going the extra mile.


That's 50 :points: total for helping my friend have a better birthday.


In order to get the points you will have to message me with your Youtube handle (your channel name) so I can confirm you actually did comment and subscribe.


This is open for all of his birthday month: July. (2020)


I don't care if I have 10 people do this or 100, it will stay open as long as I can afford to do it and I'll update when I need to close this down in case it is too popular (which I doubt will happen but who knows). I'm okay with people using multiple accounts on Youtube to gain extra points. So if you want to get a friend (or several) involved so that you can get more points go ahead. As long as its a different youtube account and everyone is nice I am cool with it.


Points only-no cash reward. This will end at my digression. No purchase necessary, I'm just trying to do something nice so please be nice in return. If you don't want to do it you don't have to there is no pressure so please no negative feedback on this as I am only trying to spread smiles where and how I can. Points will be given out before the end of august 2020 (after I have had a chance to confirm)


Here is their YOUTUBE for anyone who is interested.

Thank you to everyone who sent birthday wishes my way, it is always appreciated.

I hope everyone had a good holidays, I can say that I survived them. Still alive and well and still standing so that;'s a good thing right? But in all seriousness I had a good holiday....for the most part.

Hope yours was great. I'll be getting back into the swing of things here soon. With the holidays, owrking two jobs and helping tutor a friend I am pretty maxed out for time, but thats okay. I like being busy.

Best wishes all,
Cheers

So I have seen a lot of people who do Kiribans and I think it is a really cool idea. Now that I have some more watchers and more active watches I have decided to do one myself.

When I hit 20, 000 page views (I am currently at 14, 043) I will do a drawing to whomever catches the 20,000 mark (or the closest on either side within 3. IE whoever is closest to 20,000 but I won't do one if someone doesn't screen shot at least 19, 997-20, 003)

Send me a note with the screen shot attached to be entered.

The Kiriban is any commission bust either in copics or pencil crayons (Or watercolour if you want it)

Like any one of these: Swift Heavy Eye Makeup by MarissaWalker Lost Drawings 4/4 Arianna by MarissaWalker Belle by MarissaWalker

I will do OC or fannart, male or female, but I think I am better at female.

Cheers
And keep on drawing

Hello fellow Deviants. Hope all is well for you. For those of you who follow my life and have an interest in what I have been up to here it is. I went to London Comicon very recently and had a lovely time and spent far too much money. There were lots of stars there (an impressive roster considering it is only London Ontario) The biggest name being Ron Perlman, but the one who I wanted to see and didn;t (he was there but I...well I love his characters so much I couldn't bring myself to meet was Michael Beihn. For those of you who don't know that is KYLE REECE from the original Terminator (he was also a baddass sgt in Aliens)

I got some cool comics and talked with some awesome artists and then I commissioned these four pieces:

Swift by Dustin Crocker by MarissaWalker
Merc and Swift By Matt Rowe by MarissaWalker
Swift By Alex Chung by MarissaWalker
Merc by Anthony Wallace by MarissaWalker

I had one other artist who I commissioned but I didn't get a card and he didn't have a DA account or any other way to credit him so I am not going to upload his art because I believe it is very important to credit the original artists as I have done both in the descriptions, here and by including their cards in the actual scans of the pictures. My hope is to get their art more traffic/views. The only thing I can take credit for are the original designs because they are my OC's that were drawn. I hope you like them and if you do that you go and check out those artists in the links provided in each description or on the cards.

All and all I had a lovely time and look forward to going next year. It was nice to be around a bunch of other people who like Comics and art :)

Cheers to you all.

  1. How long have you been on DeviantArt?


    Well, I've been on DA for 6 years I believe? I had an old account back in high school which I used mainly for photo manips and then I made this one and have been here (and plan on staying with this one) for over 4 years

  2. What does your username mean?


    My Username is my writing pseudonym, under which I hope to someday be published. I chose it back almost a decade ago because most of my favourite authors had pseudonyms.  That name feels just as much like my real name as my birth name now, I have been using it for so long.

  3. Describe yourself in three words.


    Honest. Stubborn. Nice. (Am I allowed to think of myself as nice?)

  4. Are you left or right handed?


    I'm a Lefty!

  5. What was your first deviation?


    Swift by MarissaWalker

  6. What is your favourite type of art to create?


    I think I am probably better at realism, but my favourite to create is comic book. I am loving working with copics so far too. (just got into them in the last 6 months or so)

  7. If you could instantly master a different art style, what would it be?


    Digital, there is so much awesome digital art out there and its not where my talent lies, but I think its soo cool.

  8. What was your first favourite?


    Toxic by Liamythesh

  9. What type of art do you tend to favourite the most?


    That's probably a tie between comic book style art stuff like: American Star by paulobarrios  <da:thumb id="406096462"/>and fan stuff like: The Turn of the Universe by alicexz Ygritte by dalisacg Malfoys don't need to study by CaptBexx

  10. Who is your all-time favourite deviant artist?


    :iconnegshin: <da:thumb id="173645598"/> There are so many fantastic artists on DA but this artists work makes me wanna cry every time I see thier work it is so darn beautiful. Also, so nice. Close runners up for consistently awe-inspiring work are :iconakubakaarts:  COMM: Keane and Felecia by AkubakaArts whose commission was the best I have recieved (And I have had some awesome ones done by great artists) she captured the essence of my characters better than I ever have Her gallery is filled with such wonderful colour. And :iconcaptbexx: Stupid Potter by CaptBexx whose artwork and one page comics never fail to make me smile and or laugh.

  11. If you could meet anyone on DeviantArt in person, who would it be?


    :iconshono: Gray: Cerberus by Shono He's got a great sense of humor. I love his comics and have always enjoyed chatting with him online. I think we would get along swimmingly face-to-face. Also a total inspiration to keep working on art.

  12. How has a fellow deviant impacted your life?


    :iconpigbert: Marissa Walker's - Swift by PigbertDid a drawing of my OC without me asking, just out of the blue as a gift. He had no idea (In fact he may be finding out now) but I was going through a really rough time and that gift was like a beautiful beacon of light for me and really helped me out.

  13. What are your preferred tools to create art?


    Pencils, watercolour and now COPICS (sketch)

  14. What is the most inspirational place for you to create art?


    Believe it or not on my couch in the basement while curled up underneath a blanket either talking with my room mate or ignoring a movie (that's right movies as background noise are something I love)

  15. What is your favourite DeviantArt memory?


    Hmmmmm....that's a hard one. I honestly don't think I have one. There are lots of good memories I don't think I have a fave...okay yes I do. I won a contest once with this drawing  Quibble and The Easter Eggs by MarissaWalker of "Quibble" my little OC alien for a children's book I will someday write. I never would have guessed that I would win, and while I never got the commission prize it still felt awesome to actually win something.


    Well, that's all she wrote folks. Thanks to everyone who has helped make my DA experience a good one. Love you all. :hug: Comments welcome. :iconbummy1:
