I've seen this rumor flying around my inbox this past week. Over at Rotoscopers.com (no clue who they are) a guy named Jim Hill (no idea who he is other than he apparently runs a Disney blogcast) is saying that IF...if the upcoming CGI reboot of Ducktales (woo-oo!) is a success for DisneyXD, that CGI reboots of Kim Possible and Darkwing Duck are slated to follow.
Like I said, I don't know if this guy has intimate inner-connections to WDC or if he's just full of sh*t and is just speculating about something which at the minimum probably wouldn't happen until at least 2020 at the earliest (Ducktales returns in 2017). But hey, who knows...it makes sense if you think about it though. Seeing that by then, the show would be 18 years old, and would have given the people who grew up watching it plenty of time to grow up and reproduce and want to be back into it for nostalgic purposes with children of their own in the same manner people like me who grew up in the 80's and 90's do with our own kids with shows like Transformers, Ninja Turtles, He-Man, My Little Pony, Strawberry Shortcake, etc. It's really a smart business strategy if you think about it. (I lived through Transformers G1, G2, Beast Wars, Beast Machines, Armada, Energon, Animated and those abortions Michael Bay created)
Yes...I just made a lot of Generation Y feel very old, lol.

Take it for what it's worth...back to business.
PS: While we're on the subject of rumors I keep getting, no I do not know the financial status of dA or what's happening with their CORE membership. I know it's got a lot of people talking and a lot of people think the site might be going the way of myspace or going to a pay-only site. I know dA at its core is a business and at the end of the day, Angelo Sotira has to pay the bills in some way or another, but I don't see that angle ever happening. If you're stupid enough to take a site which has 25 million viewers who post an average of 1.5 million pieces of artwork DAILY and greatly reduce that figure with a pay-only option, it would have to be one of the biggest blunders of the information age.
HOWEVER, in the unlikely event that I win the lottery and become a billionaire and dA goes down, I'll probably make a Weasyl or Tumblr account and continue posting my artwork and stories until I decide to call it a day. But until then, you'll keep seeing me on here, posting things until something outside of my control makes me do otherwise.

Other Site
Apparently the Google is starting to delete some of the content off of my other site citing it's content, which is odd seeing the one they booted off was probably the least explicit thing I had going over there. That said, I'm starting to think the ol Blogspot platform might not be the best place to house stuff that I can't post here...not that I have posted anything as of late, although there is a commission I still have yet to fulfill that I need to get out, but the work load this summer has been a mother. Anyhoo, ideas of where I could post my stuff without the worries of them getting deleted? My first thought was Newgrounds, any other suggestions?
New pic coming soon!
A little teaser for my next pic. ^^
A Decade of Deviancy
Hi Y'all,
So apparently 2019 ushered in my 10th year as a contributor on deviantArt...wow.
It didn't feel that long ago that I kept bumping into this site on Google Images while searching for various designs for various cartoon characters...and now here we are. According to the stats, since I started I've had 3.7 million views, half a million unique hits, 600+ submissions and almost 3000 of you as followers. Who thought that a little exercise in learning how to draw line art could balloon into that sort of fandom?
To all of you who have stuck with me through think and thin, from my crude beginnings to my elaborate masterpieces, thank you
For Old Time Sakes
I need a break from the daily grind of paying back this charge back (I'm coming for your Frank Eyeson or whatever the f your real name is), so I'm thinking about doing a little pic which gives some of the secondary characters some love. Which of the following would should be the next pic I do? (for what its worth, I plan on doing all of these eventually)
1. Joss Possible and Hana Stoppable slightly older and on an adventure
2. Shego v. Electronique
3. Athena (Yes I heard the movie was ass, but I've been known to polish a turd from time to time)
4. Hana's "big" secret is revealed
5. Kim Possible takes on Carmen Sandiego
Cheers!

I didn't know DA was having problems. Maybe I'd be more aware if I was an artist who posted content.
