Looks like DA changed, a lot. Will take a bit to get used to.

As NBW continues forward, and my computer is somewhat fixed up and letting me render again, I'll be using DA a bit more. Trying to get NBW out there via other avenues than twitter. DA seems a good place.

However I'm not really sure how you draw interest and get people to watch you and be interested. Tags seem a good way but even then it looks like as active as DA is at any given time, your posts just get drowned out.

Something to think on I suppose.

So I really only post what I do for the NBW shows, because I want somewhere to put it in case my site goes down or have issues with PC. Plus to try and get some fresh viewers over to the fed. I realized though that my username on here doesn't quite work for what I do so want to change it. Except that costs apparently. I'll approach that later.

Moving forward I have some digital 3d comic aspirations. I plan to post those here. Working out the concept and approach.
Would love any ideas but I know I don't have that many followers! :D

Thanks for your time! Have a great week.

I don't do these often but of the few people I have that actually do follow what I post,  I decided to just post a simple entry rather than replying again. It's been a busy year.

As some of you know my dad underwent surgery in late Jan to have his gallbladder removed and three hernias. This was much needed. Seemed to go well but weeks later he was having shortness of breath. Long story short  they found that he was having issues with his heart. Stints were put in and surgery scheduled. Near four weeks ago he had a scheduled double bypass surgery, which they made a triple. For the most part it went well but issues arose and a week to the day of the surgery he had to have immediate emergency surgery which had myself and brothers driving back down for it. Already planned to few days later to pick him up for checking out but this was highly needed. They had to slice his heart sack to drain fluids that were crushing his breathing ability. That went well.

Near week after that was released and took him home. Stayed there with him for the week with intent of heading home after Father's day dinner. Well after BBQ'n outside he collapsed with a dizzyness then passed out. 911 was called and Ambulance ride to the ER in our town. They found he was dehydrated which was a bit odd because while it was near 97 degrees in Kansas heat, he was drinking some water or juice earlier just prior being outside. So at his checkup which was the next day and why the hospital let him not have to stay the night,  we found that he was taking a few pills he shouldn't have been. One being a water pill, and another a supplement. Those seemed to lead to the dehydration.

His next checkup is Mon, but he's able to drive again as of Thurs. We're hoping this is the end of it and it's all recovery and PT moving  forward.

If so, I can finally get back to what I was working on. And more focus on NBW's action scenes and building our brand to other eyes. Even if it means one new follower/fan in the next three months. It's something.

Thanks for reading and concerns!

A New Era.

1 min read
So I decided recently to start up on DeviantArt again. My days of drawing/sketching are long past. Don't have the time or patience to put pencil to paper... sad days. So instead I plan to use it to stash renders I've done for the Ewrestling/Fantasy Wrestling fed I run, which you can check out at TheNBW.com.

Such as:

25 to Life: World Championship Match - Shot 3 by Spikedadragon


I may or may not also have other plans for this page. Just not sure I want to use this same username that I've had since the beta days - nor pay for Core Membership to have the username changed. Guess we'll see.

Time for a journey into a new Era.

Hey all,

So recently I have felt that 'muse' again. The one that tells me to start drawing again! Problem is I hate to use pen and paper and other generic means. Don't ask why, it just gives me a headache :(

So I would like to get a new Tablet to work with. My budget is pretty low, lol, so I was hoping for some suggestions of good tablets/pens for the computer. Any recommendations you can make would be great.

I'm looking at around 70$ tops but as long as it is below 100$ it should be fine. I have an amazon credit of 50$ to add to it if needed.

Do let me know please! :)

Thanks!
Have a great week!
