Feature Box! Featured deviant: ddrbean!

Features!

I have put up this section in the hopes to give great, somewhat unseen artists the attention I feel they truly deserve.
I will be featuring one deviant every couple weeks to one month.
(depends on whether I can find somebody to feature or not)

Requirements:
- The artist must have been here for one year or more.
- The artist must have art that I consider to be jaw-dropping, or at least very good.
- The artist must have less than 20,000 pageviews.

This week's featured artist is...

ddrbean!

People such as this person were pretty much the reason the feature box was made.
All of this person's art has left me in awe, such wonderful details, and they sure have a sense of humor to their art as well.

But here's the real reason other than that. Five years, they've been a dA member, FIVE. YEARS. And know how many pageviews they have? Less then 8,000.
This put me in shock. How on earth can someone go unnoticed for THAT LONG?! It's beyond me!

If you have time, I highly reccomend checking out this person's gallery. Such an amazing artist deserves more than they're getting. ;v;

Just in case...

Information Regarding Other Websites

I have made this because sometimes people get confused as to whether someone on, say, another website is really me or not. This is also gonna help with informing me of theft under my name.

Firstly, I use (or have used) the alias "Galahawk" on these websites:
(if it's slashed out, that account is dead)

deviantART
Gaia Online
~~Animal Crossing Ahead (AXA)~~
Starbits Pets
SBP Oekaki
iScribble
~~MarillTachiquin's Plushie Forums~~
Global Pokedex Plus
Global Trade Station Plus

And I am also a member of the following sites, with different aliases:

Facebook (Finch Ladd)
Animal Crossing Community (Otisfan83)

If you find anyone on a website that ISN'T one of these with my username, it is NOT me. This even includes sites such as Twitter and Photobucket.
If I happen to use a different username on ANY other site I go to, I will have a link to my profile on that site posted here. If someone on another site is claiming to be me and you don't see a link to that site anywhere on my profile, IT IS NOT ME.
If you see my artwork being used on any site without my consent (ESPECIALLY for commercial purposes), inform me IMMEDIATELY.

And finally, I do NOT have any alternate accounts except for ~Yeunese-Post-Office, so if you spot anyone other than that account on dA using my work, inform me or report them. (this excludes plz accounts I created using my pictures, or artists who I gave permission to use my art)

lul, today I saw the Arceus movie. T'was great, but some parts made me wanna smack someone. I also found it insanely funny how Arceus talks, when he says "what" it's like "WAT

"
To make it even better, this is THE first TV-only Pokemon movie I actually managed to watch on its premier date. (all the other TV and DVD only ones, I saw WAY after their release date, or haven't seen at all. Namely the Darkrai movie, FFFFF I wanna see that one ;_; )

In unrelated news, guess who's finally getting off her ass and drawing stuff traditionally now? Durhur, as if it wasn't obvious.

Too bad digital mediums are still unavailable. To say the least, I'm back to using MY computer! ... No, I didn't get my account back. My dad just remembered the password to the admin account (which will actually run the programs I use, le gasp!).
Also, iTunes is refusing to sync my iPod. This sucks, now I can't add more music. :C

My name is Finch, but all my friends call me "Blue" when referring to me. :}

And... more things about me...
Oh yeah!
Pretty much what I'm most well-known for is my fantasy species, the Galahawks. A gryphon-like creature with some rather exaggerated features (blunter beaks, weird wing structure, rabbit-like features, etcetera) that I created about... six years ago. Maybe more.

More general things about me:

- Digital art and painting are my LIFE, I don't think I'd last very long without either.
- I've been called one of the best artists in my school.
- I love the colors blue, black, white, and teal.
- I'm an astronomy nerd, drawing/painting space-scenes is always fun for me.
- Gryphons = <3, and don't you forget it.
- I have the cutest, sweetest boyfriend in existence, show him some love too~
(seriously, he makes sugar look BITTER with how sweet he is)

That's about it.
Overall, I'm a fairly nice person, if we have at least SOME of the same interests. :}

_{FAQ:

Q: Can we be friends?
A: No, I don't like to make friends with any old random stranger that comes to my page. I have to get to become familiar with you first.

Q: ... Can I at least watch you?
A: Sure, always a pleasure!

Q: Do you do requests/trades/collabs?
A: I'll leave the answer to this as a strict maybe.
If I'm doing trades, requests, or collabs, it will say so in the Art Status section of my journal. I sometimes break my own rules and give out requests, but I'm just going to say this: I only do this for SIMPLER requests. For instance: I'm more likely to do just a sketch request as compared to a request for a fully colored/detailed picture. Understand?

Q: What program(s) do you use to make your pictures?
A: For the most part, I use Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0, but I'll occasionally swap over to things like MS Paint, GIMP, and iScribble. For all of which, I use a Wacom BAMBOO Fun tablet.

Q: Can I add you on Windows Live/YIM? (those are my IMs)
A: No. In order for me to add you on either (from this point onward, I've been much too lenient on this in the past), I have to know you fairly well. I'm getting sick of random people adding me on YIM.

Q: Can I make my own Galahawk character?
A: Of course you can! All you have to do to make one is look at this chart, pick out a breed of Galahawk (Iridescent Argent, Specter, and Supernova are off-limits, I WILL make exceptions if I find any of these breeds appropriate for you appearance or personality-wise), and make a character for them based off the provided information. Disclaimer: If you make your own character, since the Galahawks are my creation, you hereby give me the right to use this character for anything I want to, commercial or noncommercial.

Wow, your art is simply amazing, imma add you to my watch list!

Oh by the way, your brother Hiro/Kevin has been telling people that you were dead and that your parents were dead and worked for the government. This wasn't an RP eaither. I'm pretty sure that's not true because.. You're pretty alive right now.

Just wanted to let you know.
