This is the place where you can personalize your profile!
But, how?
By moving, adding and personalizing widgets.
You can drag and drop to rearrange.
You can edit widgets to customize them.
The left side has widgets you can add!
Some widgets you can only access when you get a premium membership.
Some widgets have options that are only available when you get a premium membership.
We've split the page into zones!
Certain widgets can only be added to certain zones.
"Why," you ask? Because we want profile pages to have freedom of customization, but also to have some consistency. This way, when anyone visits a deviant, they know they can always find the art in the top left, and personal info in the top right.
Don't forget, restraints can bring out the creativity in you!
Now go forth and astound us all with your devious profiles!
I feel it's more than appropriate to make my first artist of the month to be none other than the late, great Osamu Tezuka. Myself and every other Manga artist owe this man more than we can possibly fathom.
Lets put it this way: there is an Osamu Tezuka museum in Japan. Not an art museum with an Osamu Tezuka exhibit- an ENTIRE Osamu Tezuka museum. But thats what you'd expect from the guy who invented manga.
"He's the Jack kirby and the Walt Disney of Japan" says Geoff Darrow, design artist of the "Matrix" movies and co-creator of Big guy and Rusty the boy robot. "Most Japanese comics are based on the stuff he came up with.The designs are his. The round eyes came from his influence from Walt Disney,but everything else is his. He created the language of Japanese comics."
Tezuka was first in in every way. He was the first to draw in what we now know as the big-eyes-and-speed-lines "manga style". His "Astro Boy" was Japan's first ever animated TV series, and later became the first Japanese series to be imported to N.America. We know of his influence because he had an influence on everyone else, literally. Not many men can lay that claim to anything, let alone an artistic medium in and unto itself.
In a career that spanned from the late 1950's to the 1980's, Tezuka became more than just an artist- he became one of Japan's most beloved personalities. He was even known as "The God of Manga" On Feb.10, 1989,the day after he passed away, Japan's Asahi newspaper explained Tezuka's impact by saying "Foreign visitors often find it difficult to uderstand why Japanese people like comics so much. They find it odd to see grown men and women engrossed in weekly serials and comic magazines on the trains durin commute hours. One explination for the popularity of comics in Japan is that Japan had Osamu Tezuka while other nations did not."
But as the gap between N.American and Japanese comics gets smaller, more artists are looking towards the man who started it all. The world now has Osamu Tezuka.
Till next month fellow artists, keep your heads dull and your pencils sharp!
What a week this has been. I still will not be posting anything new as in light of recent events, more specificaly the various sites and "Artists" who have been profiting from my hard work (in some cases, thousands of dollars!)
I have read all the posts and comments and I will not sit here and defend myself against faceless bloggers. The fact of the matter is at the end of the day I and I alone posess the originals of every piece of art shown here or on any other online gallery.
That being said, at the advice of my attorney I am legaly obliged to inform publicly every person that may have stolen my art here or any other site that there is no statute of limitation when it pertains to the intellectual properties of ANY artist, be it digitaly or actually and that every person(s) who posesses a copy of any of my work without my expressed written permission or a bill of sale will fall under the scruntity of my attorney and will be subjected to any and all punishments admitted under international copyright laws.
I AM SERIOUS!!!
Now everybody can keep arguing over this and that, this little detail and that little detail to defend or slander whomever they prefer (Hey, thats why its a free country), but as I said before, the bottom line here is that only I have the originals.
Let's all hope this garbage is cleraned up soon so I can start posting work again
I recieved I very disturbing link last night regarding a a peice I posted. A unknown person had a website running for the last year or so showcasing my work as thier own. After doing a little investingating I foud 6 other sites doing the exact same thing and in some cases the people were actually selling prints of mine with thier names on for upwards of 100$! Needless to say, I am not pleased. Becase of that bit of unpleasantness, I have not only taken down my work here, but on ALL other sites where I may have had a showcase of originals. And last but certainly not least, I have actually had to get my attorneys to look at the sites in question, so just as a fair warning, if you or anyone you know is ripping my work, STOP IT before you end up opening a can of worms you cant close.
To everyone else, my apologies. I hope to return soon.
wow! almost all of your art has been ripped from Saka's website! [link] for anyone who wants to see the originals.
You're so busted. Sorry
-- my aphorism: comments are like candies. It's nice to get one once in a while, when you're good. But asking for one not only makes you sound greedy but ruins the surprise when you DO get one. Comments are a privilege, not a requirement.
I just wanted to point out something to your claim that he ripped all this from that website. Don't you find it odd that the website your claiming he ripped this from has only smaller, and lower resolution version of the ones he posted here on this site? Now if he truely ripped them from that site wouldn't his images be the smaller or lower resolution ones? Just thought I would point that out.
heheh so you're suggesting Saka is ripping this guy? When he's been creating this work consistantly since at least 2000? I've known Saka for years and he has been producing art for 5 times longer then 'Aaron' has.
As for the hi res work, it was the same size or smaller, nothing was bigger then what was put up. And Saka has used images before as backgrounds to his website that are higher resolution. 'Aaron' has been around since last month, Kapolo Club has been around since 2000. Look for yourself.
Besides, it's not like I enjoy reporting people. I really don't give a shit about that. It's the fact that they're passing off his works as theirs and that is just wrong and sick and I wont sit there while he gets comments on it. "Develloping acrylics" my ass.

lol, well you definatly share the same feeling as me in regards to people trying to pass off other peoples work as their own, that is just wrong and in my opinion they should be lynched. But i tend to be a bit extreme. Anyways in regards to the dates, thats a valid argument to which I have no rebutle. So I salute you, and to the guy who ripped off the art, I spit at you.
heh no salutations needed
I just don't want people getting credit for things they should get no credit for, yknow?
