Quick update

1 min read

It's been a few years since I've last logged in...and I must say WOW, I absolutely hate the new layout.


Long story short, I got divorced 3 1/2 years ago and have been working full time as a copywriter since. The only time I have to do any artwork these days is for limited cover commissions. I am working from home for the time being due to COVID, so I may be able to work in some fun stuff. I've had a lot of stuff sitting on the back burner for a long time now. Just haven't had much motivation to do it. Plus my PC died, which had all of my project odds and ends on it. I've been using my laptop, but it's just not powerful enough to run Photoshop for long periods without freezing up.


So hopefully I'll get back into the swing of things at some point. Though I don't know how much of it will end up on here. I really REALLY hate this new version of the site.

Quick Update

9 min read
Wow...I didn't realize that it's been close to a year since I've done a journal update.  The past few months have been very rough.  I'm slowly working on getting through it and back on track with everything.  I'm on vacation this week at the beach, so that helps. 

I'm currently working on the finial cover for the Lonely World Trilogy.  This one is pretty extensive so it's going to take me a bit to do.  Finding stock has been a nightmare since Dollar Photo Club got bought by Adobe Stock.  While it's not as bad as iStock or some of the other places, Adobe Stock is still pretty high...especially when it's starting at $80 per image for unlimited use & I need a ton of images to make the cover.  The most annoying part is that when I switched over (didn't have much of a choice), they didn't have a rule stating that if you canceled your membership early for any reason then you had to pay $50.  That suddenly popped up about a month ago when I decided it wasn't worth wasting money on images I couldn't use.

I've also got a few other commissions in the works as well.  Once they are all out of the way, I'm hoping that I can get back to a few personal photomanip projects that have been on the back burner.  I am hoping to maybe got to FenCon this year, but more than likely it will be a bust.  I'm looking for full-time work so I'm hoping that I will be working by then.

Some cool news: I got a full website now for my design stuff.  You can check it out here: www.gostudios.co  I need to rework the splash banner a bit once I get a chance.

How long have you been on DeviantArt?

  • 7 Years

What does your username mean?

  • I'm a big Helsing fan.  'Police Girl' is Seras Victora's nickname.

Describe yourself in three words.

  • Always very chaotic.

Are you left or right handed?

  • Right

What was your first deviation?

What is your favourite type of art to create?

  • A tie between photography & artwork.  My cover commissions have taken over everything lately, so I haven't done much else.

If you could instantly master a different art style, what would it be?

  • Not sure.  Probably realism.

What was your first favourite?

What type of art do you tend to favourite the most?

  • Fanart

Who is your all-time favourite deviant artist?

  • Very hard to pick since I like a lot of different stuff.  Definitely blackstorm for fanart, and mjranum-stock for photography/stock.  I also love PureBlackLove because she does wonderful makeup and it's always great inspiration/mood setters for when I have to do horror stuff.

If you could meet anyone on DeviantArt in person, who would it be?

  • Again...very hard to answer.  It's a toss up between blackstorm (again, awesome fanfart) & cheeks-74 (I want to get my Hellboy Animated Deluxe Figure signed!)

How has a fellow deviant impacted your life?

  • Can't really say that anyone has directly.

What are your preferred tools to create art?

  • Wabcom 3 tablet, Photoshop CS3 (too cheap to upgrade), Canon EOS Rebel XS, assorted makeup stuff (when needed)

What is the most inspirational place for you to create art?

  • ehh...my office??  That's where I do most of my work at, and keep my figurine hoard collection.  Though I do sometimes use the dining room for stock shoots & makeup.  I'm still trying to get the fake blood & latex off the table from the Silent Prey shoot.

What is your favourite DeviantArt memory?

  • I can't think of any one thing.  I did enjoy getting nominated for Fan's Choice in the First Epice Movie Poster Contest with the Azalea Gambit Movie Poster.

Okay.  Livestream is getting ready to start.

www.ustream.tv/channel/go-stud…

EDIT:  Makeup came out really good, and I'll probably get started on the cover in a few days.  Sadly, the live stream didn't record (didn't realise I had to hit the record button)...but I will try to do a process video for the cover.  You can also check out some of the pics on my personal Facebook page: www.facebook.com/angela.rogers…

I'm finally going to be getting to do the makeup shoot for the Silent Prey cover tomorrow, and I'm going to live stream it.  I've never done a live stream, so I'm hoping that I'm able to get it running.  The makeup itself is going to be on the model's hand and arm.  I haven't done makeup stuff in a long time.

We are planning on starting at around 2 pm CST,  and you can find the feed here: www.ustream.tv/channel/go-stud….  If this works good, then I might do some other stuff on live stream as well.
