Seriously, I haven't made a journal here in seven freaking months??? God, I suck at this...
Anyhow, while I've still been regularly active on DA when it comes to checking out & faving artwork on a daily basis, I must admit that a lot of my time recently has been devoted to actually building a career as a freelance journalist over at Topless Robot, where I'm more regular now and where I have a monthly video game column, Robotic Gaming Monthly. In fact, my latest column just came out today and...okay, yes, I am shamelessly shilling my work here. But I may as well at least shill my current header artist as well, CITRUSKING46, who is just really damn amazing. Seriously, I totally recommend that you commission him if you need a quality artist. Heck, he helped adapt Sly & Fefcaine over there quite nicely, they seem to be doing well. ^_^
I wish I could say much else has happened this year so far, but it hasn't...still on the quest for employment, still unsuccessful at the moment. Still planning a big comeback on DA, but still getting screwed by either things getting in the way or artists who will ditch all their or put it into storage at the drop of a hat (come on, get it together). I have been dabbling in Let's Plays over at Twitch, which I suppose is something, and pulled off some major E3 coverage, but that's about it. God, I need a job again to achieve something...anyhow, sorry if I come off as a downer, but things are still going okay. But dang, do I need to be more active here in other ways...need to figure a better way to work on that...any suggestions?

Last-Minute MYO Closed Species Event Alerts!
Got some MYO Closed Species events that are ending soon but that I discovered relatively recently, & they looked pretty damn interesting, so… First, Hoodmakkas by KillerBirds! https://toyhou.se/~bulletins/486838.hoodmakkas-first-myo Second, Whimsy Demons by bluetzl! https://www.deviantart.com/bluetzl/art/OPEN-Whimsy-Demons-MYO-Event-OCT-2021-893478073 Finally, AxoRootles by ZAViZ! https://twitter.com/ZAViZ_/status/1445074989074436096 …Okay, that last one is an open species that can be created at any time, but screw it, they’re all species that seem awesome & were introduced in October, so I just wanted to highlight them all. And on a similar note, to say that if there’s anyone who wants to make some quick money & help me with some quick customs, that would be much appreciated. ^^; But yeah, seriously, just let me know, & if you also know of any similar events, feel free to share them! ^_^
DeviantArt Artist Questionnaire
...Oh, why the hell not. =P
1. How long have you been on DeviantArt?
Just over ten years, having first officially joined DA on May 10th, 2005.
2. What does your username mean?
"SlyDante" was a combination of my two favorite video game characters at the time, Sly Cooper & Dante from Devil May Cry. It ended up sticking, much more than my previous attempt at a similar username, "MaximoRez" (yep, reaaallly bet on some long-running game franchises there...).
3. Describe yourself in three words.
"Sander Cohen, reincarnated."
4. Are you left or right handed?
Right-handed.
CONTEST: Win a copy of A City Sleeps!
...Well, turns out I still suck at updating frequently. Especially annoying since it was my birthday last time around, & I should have commented on it...although major thanks to those who gave birthday wishes, you kick ass. ^_^
But let me skip to the point: Harmonix was gracious enough to not only give me review copies of Fantasia: Music Evolved and A City Sleeps to try out, but they also gave me four copies of A City Sleeps for Steam to give out as prizes! So naturally, I decided to hold the contest to win copies in the latest edition of Robotic Gaming Monthly! The first ever contest I get to hold there!
...And a grand total of three f
Update + Streaming Destiny!
Sorry for the delay in entries again (thanks for all the kind words last time, btw, in case I missed anyone)...I just began a part-time job doing phone surveys that typically has 6 to 11 PM shifts, so I'm either too damn tired in the morning or too damn tired at night. ANyhow, it gets the job done.
Also, trust me when I say that since last month, I have spent a large chunk of time working on picking out work for a Mini-DDs comeback (which would be easier if it weren't for one artist who was crazy talented, but kept deleting their work every month or so whenever they updated their characters...yeesh), but then my other, paying work got in the
