Just wanted to say a big "TANKS" for those out there who have given me a warm welcome here.

I started off doing dios shortly after the 25th stuff came out, just as a hobby and for fun. Thanks to those who are here, and some over on Hisstank, what I do, has gotten a lot better.

It may be an obsession, but you do what you do to go to bed with a smile on your face. And so far (only a day!!!) you all have been very welcoming

Thank you for kind words, and I always want creative input for what I do. GOOD or BAD!

I'm an avid Joss Whedon fan (Future dios may show) and he once said "Art isn't about doing something you like, it's about doing something people love."
... Or at least something along those lines!

I hope you all enjoy what I show, as much as I love making it.

AS for the dios, you may have already noticed, I'm putting my own spin on the storyline. A very BIG spin on characters. This is my "Verse", and it will be very character orientated. So, while I myself, enjoy big eye popping SFX scenes, I want to portray characters that other s have glossed over, or putting new spins on established ones.

Honestly, I've only been working with photoshop for 2 months now (and I've already done these 2 episodes... YAY for unemployment!!!)

I've done other dios through Paint Shop Pro and have had relativly the same results, but have always gotten bored with my own storylines...either whether through boredom of the storyline itself, or lack of customs, or retail product to satisfy me, and my story.

These 2, SCTU: Delta 1 and 2...have been different. I've been FORCING myself to not get too hard and heavy with it. I know what I want to do, but (again being unemployed) I need to limit things down to a manageable point. IE: Not getting ahead of myself lol

I'm not too familiar with your rating option on dios...but to get 5 boxes/stars on ep 2 right from the get go... It's staggering... an ego rub.

I want to be one of the best at these. I've been into this (off and on) since 82 when my dad got me my first...Straight Arm Flash. (That's why he's my main character)

Drunken ramble, aside... I just appreciate any critisizm involved. I just want to make what I do, the best.

Welcome aboard!

Don't worry about your "spin" on the characters, your Joe-verse is your Joe-verse and nobody can tell you how to run it differently. If they wanna bitch, let them write their own.

As far as the rating, if people like your stuff, they'll rate you accordingly. I don't think I've seen anybody recently get anything less than a three, so feel good about what you do. Keep your picture posts to three or four a day and you won't get yelled at either.

Some people, when trying to avoid thinking about those things that cause them pain, turn to drink, or perhaps food, or drugs... I turn not to any of those... I collect action figures, turning my mind to the hunt, so that I might find a mote of peace... Over the years, I've found that alcoholism is much more socially acceptable by far.

Welcome to the site your diostories are great.
