Yes... Yes it does.

The reason I comment is I just, out of curiosity, googled 'Xananthe DeviantArt' to see if it actually lists me. I was like hurray, look, there I am on Google! And then I continued to scroll...

To my dismay, I found countless sites using my work. Some were hosting my work, and linked back, which to be honest I don't mind about. Even the Tumblr ones were okay with me so long as they put the source. But I was shocked to see my art being used as 'free wallpaper download!' and so on and so forth. No link to source. Even a gaming website had used my work...

Anyway, yes, it's deeply annoyed me. But in a weird way, I guess it's a compliment. Because I think someone would have to be a bit doohickey in the brain to want to use my work as a wallpaper.

Love but mild irritation,
Lydia.

So, I have finally hit 5000 pageviews!

All I can say is thank you very much to every one of you. If you are reading this, then your support is appreciated more than you know. Every pageview, comment, favourite, or watch is taken to the heart so I sincerely thank each individual for the continued praise and criticism!

While you're here... *clears throat*

Fancy taking a look at a poll I'm in for Best of the Month in #AllArtSupport? I stumbled across it here:

allartsupport.deviantart.com/j…

... and have somehow got 76 votes! Please have a look at all the artists there and pick the one you like best! Of course you can always vote for me, if you really want to...

Thank you all!

Hey all. Just a quick note to say I am still alive, despite having not submitted for a-g-e-s. Unfortunately, my brother moved to London recently... and took the scanner we shared with him. *exasperated sigh* So I can't currently upload any more drawings until I locate one. I intend to go on a ninja mission to one of my friends' to use theirs, or failing that, go to a decent library which actually has a scanner.

So you can expect more from me (fairly) soon!

And I will give you one clue as to where some of my portraits are going...

POTTEEEERRRR!

That is all.

:]

Dear friends.

As the title suggests, I have just set up FOUR of my most favourited deviations as prints! *hurrah*

I'm trying to save for uni, because I have no money. I mean, no money. So if anyone at all could support me, just for a few quid, then I would be so grateful! You guys have always been so insanely kind with your support and I hope that maybe having a small print of my portraits will not only help me out big time, but also give something back to you. Every piece has my absolute heart and soul in it, they take hours, and if I could find a way to do a hand-drawn piece for each and every one of you I would.

So, if you do like any of the prints, you know where to go! And if there are any of my other deviations you would like, just suggest, and I'll get straight to it. You can't begin to understand what a help your couple of bucks will do.

All my love and continued eternal gratitude!

Hey followers.

Just a quick note to tell you about something wonderful. Please spare just a minute of your time.

Please watch this video, whether or not you like or loathe My Chemical Romance. MCR and the 'MCRmy', their fans, pulled together to record a new version of 'Sing' along with a video to show our support to those affected by the Japan tsunami. Fans sent in videos, art, photos, to contribute to the video. It shows human spirit in bucketloads and this is what the MCRmy is all about, caring for each other across the globe. You can buy this version from iTunes, search 'sing it for japan'. All proceeds go to the Red Cross's effort in Japan.

You can also help by spreading the word.

Copy this into your DA journal.
Change your twitter picture to the 'Sing it for Japan' logo (which you can find here: a1.twimg.com/profile_images/13…)
Use the #SingItForJapan hash tag on twitter.
Post the video to your facebook.
