Hi guys! No, I'm not dead. Yes, I still draw. Yes, I still love TMNT.

To give everyone a VERY short description of these past 6 months worth of doctors visits & tests…. lots of tests...

I have a large tumor growing off of/attached to my right ovarie (and possibly my left) It’s the size of a newborn’s head. Yikes! So I’m scheduled for surgery Wednesday morning to have it removed. There are many risks and possible outcomes. They could remove the tumor perfectly fine and we call it a day. The possibility of having to remove the ovarie (or both) to completely remove the tumor is also a risk, and so on and so forth.

Not trying to worry anyone. I just felt like I needed to let you all know what’s happening. At this point, we’re having to play it by ear until they get it there. Here’s hoping it’s benign, which is my biggest concern over all.

I’ll keep everyone updated on the results as we receive them. Thanks and wish me luck! =) 

For faster responses and updates from me (from the surgery or just in general) hit me up on Tumblr.

Turns out, some asshole is using a piece of MY artwork from 4 years ago and selling it on t-shirts on Amazon!!!! PLEASE, for those who USE Amazon, PLEASE back me up and report him (or whatever Amazon does) I already submitted a report on him and so far, no response.

AND he removed the deviant Art watermark (granted, it’s not a very good one, BUT STILL!!)

A person has entered our fandom community with the express purpose of spreading hate speech, racism, and bigotry.  They have been banned by Deviant Art twice, once just this weekend.

They have created a new account Musclesthehedgehog :iconmusclesthehedgehog:. This person was previously known as FairyMikeyChurch and TheGreenBeans.

They are trolling mostly the TMNT fan groups in search of any that auto accept members and auto accept postings.  If you are a Founder or Co-Founder of a group, you should check your folders and delete any posted by this person.  The things they post DO NOT ADHERE to DA TOS.

Founders and Co-Founders – Block this person immediately.  Go in Admin Area and Manage Members.  Choose Blocked, type in this person’s id and select block.

To all members of this beautiful fandom – DO NOT ENGAGE THIS PERSON.  DO NOT COMMENT ON THEIR FILTH.  DO SELECT = REPORT DEVIATION ON THE FAR RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THEIR POST, SELECT PROBLEM CONTENT,  AND TELL DA THAT THIS PERSON IS SPREADING HATE SPEECH AND RACISM AND THAT THEY HAVE ALREADY BEEN BANNED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASSIONS.

The more reports DA receives, the faster they will react.  I would like to suggest that groups turn off the auto accept feature.  I know that is more work, but better that than allowing people with bad intentions to have access to your wonderful groups.

Thank you!

THAT'S RIGHT! Come one, come all!! Hit me up here -> My TUMBLR RIGHT HERE with your TMNT filled ideas* you'd like to see from me. I'm in a sketchy mood, so BRING IT! 8D 

I really need to work my TMNT 2012 style. I am SO friggin jealous of everyone else and I hate that I am so far behind. TmT

NO OC's or other fandom characters, please. Stick with the TMNT gang for now *includes Karai, April, blah blah blah* 

****I realize I didn't clarify this: Yes, the ideas/suggestions can be adult themed. Including straight, gay and so on and so forth. Trust me, if you've followed me long enough, you should know I'm not against drawing ANYTHING smexually awesome. >3 ****

*When I say "ideas", I do not mean "requests". I just wanted to hear random ideas from you guys. =p derp *


.... I'm really picky, aren't I? =/

.....

So, uh.... hello everyone. ^^;

I realize it's been quite awhile since I last posted... well, ANYTHING. I apologize for that, I do. I have no excuses.


...

...

Okay, I do, but let's skip past that and move along to bigger and better things. 8D


Update: In the past 6+ months, I've been busy busy busy with work (in a good way) and have had very little time to sit down and draw, like I would in the good ol' days.

But I don't want you guys to think I've been doing NOTHING creatively stimulating this entire time. I've spent quite a bit of my spare time working on & designing costumes, for various events (Renaissance festivals, conventions, photo shoots, etc) for various friends and customers. SO! I've been accomplishing SOME things since we last talked. ^_^;


Holidays went by reasonably fine, and now we are here in the new year. Some things have been moved around in my life recently and I find myself actually inspired to draw more. And more importantly, I actually have the TIME now to do it. 

I've been getting back into the swing of things, sketching here, sketching there, throwing small fits over there. You know how it goes. I want to let you all know I am working on some sketches as we speak and hope to have them posted sooner rather than later. It may take some time for me to get used to everything and get these artsy juices flowing, but I'm back up & running. For you guys. ^^


I also wanted to say that I know many of you have requested I get a Tumblr account so you all can post questions to me about my art and hopefully get me to post WIP sketches.

Well... I caved. You win. Here you go -> christinedeshazo.tumblr.com/  (such an original url name, hurrhurr)


I hope to be pumping out art soon for all of you! I'll keep you posted! 

Love you guys!
