I have returned
On the mission/outings side of matters, I went through a "Post-Demise Return" with "Auxiliary factor" in July and Nov. 2016, and just finished a mission to make up "...for Lost Opportunities" this week.
Also, I've cancelled and rebooted Op/Res over the course of this past year. It is now known as Opposed!: the new Opposition/Resurrection, and will be an audiovisual drama, hence an audio drama with (still) visuals.
Nothing more can be said that hasn't already been said on my random Twitter account @superslinger07 . Beware randomness, because there's gonna be a lot of it.
dA:15 - DeviantArtist questionnaire
How long have you been on DeviantArt?
Three years.What does your username mean?
I tried to come up with one in the early 2000s for Lego.com while playing Huai Snowball Sling. It was an online Shockwave minigame based on one from the GBA game Bionicle: Quest for the Toa.Describe yourself in three words.
Nervous tense outsider. (Come on, I've just been recently stunned into silence once again.)Are you left or right handed?
Right-handed.What was your first deviation?
First submission was one of my Lego caricatures made in MLCad, with the ss07 Vader-like insignia behind it. I do not want to link to it.What is your favourite type of art to create?
Judging by what this website tells you, Minecraft sprite art. But I used to make a lot of mashup crossover videos.If you could instantly master a different art style, what would it be?
Something better than my current, barely-used on-paper style that's essentially reminiscent of bathroom-sign stick-figures with hair, dot-eyes, mouths, and outfits.What was your first favourite?
A Nostalgia Critic stamp featuring a clip from the Captain N review.
What type of art do you tend to favourite the most?
Things in regards to current rotating interests; shows and movies I watch and games I heard of or play. Look, I'm too hesitant to comment, all right?Who is your all-time favourite deviant artist?
I'd say Chotetsumaru is very high up there.If you could meet anyone on DeviantArt in person, who would it be?
I'll just say the reverse has happened since 2012 (shudders). I did meet up with a few people who I learned had DeviantArt accounts...How has a fellow deviant impacted your life?
...And they got to wave at the camera face to face. That is all I can say.What are your preferred tools to create art?
It looks like MikuMikuDance (mashup imagery) and Minecraft (sprite art) for the time being.What is the most inspirational place for you to create art?
At home... Look, I wish I had a real answer. I don't post on here that often.What is your favourite DeviantArt memory?
I don't know if I spend enough time on here to even have one.
Ok, now I really have to go deal with this Anti-Fugitive Pact I'm hearing rumors about... (That was me slipping into character as that commander in Opposition/Resurrection, that series I'm working on.)
dA:14 - deviantArt story
As (someone convinced he's) a so-called "fugitive" of society, I can't really say much here. There has gotta be better things to mention other than "You must comment if you get a MikuMikuDance model" especially if you're too shy. (What is with that...?)
I'm pretty sure I joined dA partially because there were two people also on this site: First of all, there's a former YTP-mashup creator named Deven247, who I was inspired by while making my own video mashups at the time. Deven247 made a picture tribute to one of my mashups, years before I joined dA.
I was planning to make an MMD-remake of this lately, but events started to crash in all at once.
Second, my younger sister was already on dA as lovesichigos. In 2010-2011, due to my rotating interests, she ended up illustrating images of two particular characters due to their significance at the time.
I figured as soon as I joined, I figured I would choose to only put Minecraft sprite art; also, I liked Bubble Bobble at one point or another. Although this isn't about me, I'm gonna feature the first sprite art of Bub (Bubblun) as well as its later remake.
(What is there...?)
Well, there is actually a whole lot of impressive papercraft on dA as well, and I actually like building papercrafts. There is some impressive Portal papercraft by billybob884, including this very well-done GLaDOS one.
And even before I began my "fatal decision" propaganda on social media, I started going on favouring sprees in regards to certain characters voiced by the same people, especially if I saw their shows or they witnessed my identity get COMPROMISED. General consensus here is the random rotating favourites over these years stood out to me at the time.

This was one of the (I think) few crossover images to depict these two together at the time (you know, before CODE RED OCT 25 2010 and finale chapter 5 "+involvement rescue"...) because they're both voiced by said person who saw me getting COMPROMISED. [implied Op/Res spoilers REDACTED]
Speaking of YTP mashups, MysteryEzekude used to always enjoy them; lately, he's released a Flash game called Comfort. I haven't yet tried it myself, though. I have seen the other concept imagery and the game does sound interesting...
As I recall, one of the first MikuMikuDance models I found was, well... this one by cristle1235. You cannot expect a reluctant/hesitant "fugitive" (like me) to have to...
(bright flash in the sky*)
Humourous image by ratofthelab; I had gotten that Death Star toy prop around the time I found it...
Now that I'm out of ideas again, I gotta get back to figuring out how I'm gonna work on Opposition/Resurrection episode 4... if I'm not procrastinating over SpaceChem or favouring pictures with important winking characters; as stated elsewhere, "I like to believe that when a character winks, she becomes important in some form or another."
And so, I'll see you when I see you; thanks again, people.
*A running gag regarding Higurashi no Naku Koro ni characters is that they may cause the Death Star to appear in orbit.
