UPDATE: This Journal Entry is adjusted to account for 's (Alabaster-Iguana) new account.

Also, let me take the time in order to advertise the Destiny's Flaw tournament here, if you are so interested.

################

I have been wanting for a long time to do this type of Journal entry. Here, I talk about the friends I have made in deviantArt. Not only I did this simply because I wanted to do thereof, but I would also like my friends to know about my other friends.

The third reason why I wrote this (which may cause some of my friends to execute me) is to show my parents with whom I talk on dA. No, they are not suspicious of me; I am just tired of being so secretive towards my parents. Besides, my parents occasionally talk to me about my Internet life, so such is about time. (Let's do positive thinking! You may end up impressing my parents!)

(Sorry if I do not talk much about some of you. That may be because I do not know you that well or that I do not carry much opinion about you... )

################

++++++++
Mr. watched me, probably from reference of Ms. Woof91 (shown later on). he does not really do much in his gallery (save for her Mr. Men Pixel Project, to which I should contribute...), though he did make Ms. Daredevil game sprites.
++++++++

++++++++
Mr. started as a harasser towards Mr. ReptileCynrik (shown later in this entry). I ended up being one of his victims, due to my prodding. However, said prodding tendency paid off, for I was the sole(?) witness of his repentance and ended up being his messenger. (He was trolling anyone that his now-former friend wanted him to troll, yet Mr. Alabaster-Iguana repented when he knew that his "friend" was using him to get others divorced and fired, to mention some.) However, nobody apparently cared. Either way, he revealed himself towards me later on (and to the rest of the world later still) and watched me.

Since his repentance, he reveals himself to have his heart in the right place, trolling only for justice. (In other words, he has the right idea, but the wrong plan.) He likes to take a satirical (as in "gentle 'mockery' of a concept in order to illustrate a point") view of the furry fandom (with an emphasis on certain furries) and trolling.
++++++++

++++++++
Mr. was actually one of the few deviAnts that I have met in real life. He was a former school companion whom I have met in college. Despite what one of his friends said of him, I do not deem him an idiot (although I do not agree with him on everything he says). Back at school, he is what you consider a "dark artist," yet I do not know if he follows that route today.
++++++++

++++++++
Mr. has been taking a lot of heat recently due to his fanboy-esque attitude, especially towards Mr. . One of the controversies was that, according to a visitor, Mr. animetolove apparently copyrighted the Japanese language. As Mr. animetolove later confirmed, I explained to the visitor that, when Mr. animetolove wrote "Japanese writing copyright to me," Mr. animetolove meant that he wrote the Japanese writing himself. (Things did not go well with the visitor, though; the visitor got stupid, stubbornly remained with his incorrect idea, and called to my attention my dislike of female nudity. )

Mr. animetolove is one of these people who do not want 4Kids (a dubbing company as well as a TV channel) ruining Japanese cartoons. He has standard fare with his deviAtions (though I commend him for using a digital program to improve his drawings), though I like his Kaito Bone concept...
++++++++

++++++++
Mr. gave me a surprise after watching me after seeing my Charizard's Magne-saber (that was meant for Mr. )! As suggested by his name and avatar, he is a big fan of the Pokémon (a video game series of fighting creatures) Charizard, with every drawing of his gallery featuring one. (He also has a folder dedicated towards Charizard drawings!)
++++++++

++++++++
Mr. simply watched me soon after I commented in his Porygon and the DS deviAtion. He seems to be a casual artist, yet a lot os his drawings have a clean look to them.
++++++++

++++++++
Ms. watched me not long after her letting me do art of her Mario (a video game series about a plumber who rescues either a princess or her kingdom) fanfic: Not a Monster (which I have yet to do...). Her main focus is Transformers (giant robots that can transform into vehicles), though, with a lot of her gallery being her Transformers figures acting out certain situations. She also supports mothers and people with Asperger's Syndrome (the latter applying to me) in her Journal entries, though you can feel her young-at-heart attitude in some of these.
++++++++

++++++++
Ms. watched me, probably as a reference from Ms. Woof91. She likes to present her own take on The Mr. Men and Little Misses (such as pairing Ms. Calamity with Mr. Silly instead of Mr. Bump) as well as making her own characters. (Warning: going through her deviAtions is like watching a Japanese cartoon in the middle; you may get lost and want to go back towards the beginning in order to get a better feel at things.)
++++++++

++++++++
Mr. was having a Superman joke in a certain deviAtion. Unfortunately, the joke failed, even though I tried to save thereof. However, he was pleased enough to watch me!

Art-wise, he carries a style that is simply of his own, as in defining himself. He also creates cool creatures. He seems to be sci-fi-oriented in all of his comic series as well as the characters he creates.
++++++++

++++++++
Mr. came towards my recognition after I found his Wikipedia account while searching for McGee and Me episodes. He is truly one for Christianity, writing Bible verses in his Journal entries as per his Bible memorization technique, and wanting Godly support for his mission trip to Uganda (and not caring whether he will go back).
++++++++

++++++++
Ms. had met me somewhere else, and so she alerted me of her arrival on dA. She apparently wants to make a fresh start here in dA.
++++++++

++++++++
Mr. watched me after requesting some art (due to that 10-sketches-meme I did). He made a news series about his analysis regarding certain issues on dA. He is currently making a story series regarding two of his characters and is currently working towards the video-game business. He hopes to sell a graphic novel.
++++++++

++++++++
Mr. watched me after I commented on his Puerto Rico Souvenir. He likes to draw fat characters (noticeably dogs), yet you can also find cars in his gallery.
++++++++

++++++++
Ms. was one of the deviAnts that I watched before I even joined deviantArt. (Incidentally, I visited her account once, back when her cancer was an issue, yet did not visit her again until about 2 years ago.) Due to the deep religious conversations we had had, we ended up forming a bond, confirmed when she watched me on her new (this) account.

She is a prime example of one who takes Christianity seriously, since she not only gave mini-sermons in her Journal entries on both her accounts, but she truly does behave in a Christian way in her life. However, she can get silly at times (not in a retarded way, especially considering that I am the retard). She is actually really good in drawing, yet her real life (plus other health issues) keep her off dA. No bother.
++++++++

++++++++
Ms. watched me after actually being impressed with my gallery. (She found me after I helped her with a meme question aimed towards the history-writing Ms. .) She is basically like that girl who was your best friend in high school. Parts of her gallery and Journal entries have to do with her team of friends, her best being the later-to-be-mentioned Ms. sonic-in-the-Rush. Ms. Knucklebuster7 herself has a clean digital art style.
++++++++

++++++++
Mr. is another "find-and-watcher" (He watched me because he found and liked my gallery.). Yes, he is a fan of Leatherhead from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (a cartoon series whose title describes the premise of the show). He also seems to have taken a liking to "Blimp Wolf" (some inflation character whose origin we do not truly know).
++++++++

++++++++
Mr. placed in the "Cool" category of . Even though I did not place, I congratulated him (and the other placers) on their victories. Surprisingly, he watched me. His gallery seems to be monochrome (with some in colour) comic-oriented. The art style in these suggests a serious self-publisher.
++++++++

++++++++
Mr. was (and still is) a visitor of The Melancholy of Marky Vigoroth. He started off during what I call the "Prideful Intolerance" (the time when tons of people attacked my page because they did not agree or even tolerated my beliefs), applauding me for my unwillingness to conform to the world. Later on, he started to make interesting comments based on my Christianity. He later joined deviantArt, although he still gives comments at my philosophy at my blog.

Apparently, he is a writer, yet I have yet to read his novels and things. As a commenter, he displayes a lot of experience with the Bible, knowing about which verses will not work in certain situations. He is one person to whom you can go if you want a serious talk about the Bible.
++++++++

++++++++
Ms. is an applicant for the (a tournament for that I am also applying). I commented on her Journal and tournament audition a bit, she read my (partial at the time) audition, and she watched me!

(Hehe... I was expecting to make friends at the tournament, yet not this early!)
++++++++

++++++++
Mr. proved to be an interesting individual, all from a product of my curiosity. Randomly looking for a way to form Watashi-baka in avaccounts led me to . There, MMC-kun was posting frustration about how rude the Japanophiles were to -san because had a popular Japanese word for a deviAnt name. MMC-kun proved his point; was Indonesian, and baka, the Japanese word for "fool"/"idiot," is the Indonesian word for "beef," hence the Japanophiles lacked perspective of the situation. I clarified MMC-kun's rant (Vaca is the Spanish word for "cow."). We went into a tiny exchange that led me to write a witty comment ("I guess the people who wanted ["baka" as a] name proved to be baka themselves!"). MMC-kun was sufficiently impressed into watching me at that point.

Keke...
++++++++

++++++++
Mr. watched me, most likely because of Ms. Woof91. He is truly going toward the professional animator route, even going so far as to making his own Toastboy series (A boy gained super-powers after eating radioactive toast.). The way I see things, he is truly ready for that route! Art-wise, he truly emulated the style of his favourite animation company (since he wants to work there). He also likes to make fictional video games of franchises he likes. (He is even planning his own RPG, yet I am not sure if he is still making thereof.) In fact, he likes video games, except for the new Mario series and ones made by American companies. (I can see such; the Japanese video game companies really do make the best, the way I see things.)
++++++++

++++++++
Ms. watched me for reasons I have yet to know. She is one for the well-being of dA (as in not supporting the drama and April Fool's jokes that happen here). She is also involved in video games. However, she is not really an artist, though her gallery has video game cosplay photos.
++++++++

++++++++
Mr. came forward at a what I deem too-fast pace. This friendship started after I asked about his Circle of Doom. He later congratulated me for drawing his Ra'kroth (which, I agree, was a rather challenging but cool character to draw). We talked to each other through Notes, in which we revealed to each other even our religious beliefs and the way we apply thereof! (He is Catholic; I am Protestant.) Suddenly, he put me as one of his "Very Best Friends" (because of our religious talk, my fan-art making me part of his universe, and his thinking that I am simply a great guy)! (Okay; we may be friends, but he is going too fast for me! However, if he wants to think of me as one of his very best friends, he may. After all, such is his opinion.)

He is one of the best applicants of traditional art I know. His comics and deviAtions are truly top-class, especially since he pays attention to anatomy, physics, and the like. (He even uses his own poses as references for his deviAtions, just like I do!) Nevertheless, he also works into digital media as well, going so far as to develop a simpler, more cartoon-esque style fitting his digital drawing method, yet he shines the brightest with his traditional work. He truly worked on his character's fantasy universe, making up a history, alphabet, and caste system for the Reptilian species, with humans and other creatures to boot! He is an excellent resource for "serious" fantasy. As a person, though, he maintains his friendly and tolerant attitude towards others (though he can feel negative emotions as well, so please do not take advantage of him...).
++++++++

++++++++
Mr. simply was one of those people who found your gallery and watched you for thereof! His gallery is simply made of meme fun. As a person, he is simply a fellow fit for having Internet fun.
++++++++

++++++++
Ms. also watched me due to me participating in the . (You can see that some of her deviAtions are about the tournament.) Speaking of her deviAtions, they carry a clean monochrome Japanese comic style, not unlike another deviAnt...
++++++++

++++++++
Mr. was one of the deviAnts whom I kept visiting even before I joined deviantArt (for reasons that I will explain below). Consequently, he was one of the first deviAnts that I watched. (Back then, he just passed college!)

His inflation comics give an interesting read, not for their art, but for the execution of the story and how inflation fits in thereof, as well as the jokes.
++++++++

++++++++
Mr. , author (and finisher!) of the former Adventures of the Regi-Trio, was a popular member of Serebii Forums (to where I no longer go). I was the one who encouraged him to join dA.

My mother would be impressed with him due to his calm attitude. The digital art he put up is simple, yet of an acceptable quality. Like Mr. Sdwaggy, though, humor and plot drive his comics
(or "drove", since he ended the series), sometimes implementing the fact that he is an author.
++++++++

++++++++
Mr. was actually my guitar teacher in real life. (He joined dA due to my encouragement.) He is WAY patient as well as having a high sense of humor (For example, he took a series of photos as "Avocado Man"). He is also well-versed into video games. His most redeeming quality, though, is his sense of Christianity. (He is a Christian musician.) In art matters, he could as well go for the cartooning/comicing business, making up characters with potential! However, he seems to carry another, semi-darker style, which he implemented in his fan-art of my characters (which I wish that he uploaded in his dA). Due to real life (and his lack of Internet), do not expect him to be on dA as much.

(Speaking of guitar, I have got to go back to practicing... preferably so that I can play a decent amount by my birthday....)
++++++++

++++++++
Ms. met me, probably as a referral from her best friend, Ms. Knucklebuster7. Like her best friend, she is like the "best female friend from high school" you had. She also carries a similar style with Ms. Knucklebuster7, though he carries a more detailed style when drawing dragons (enough for me to recommend giving her dragons a look!), on the same vein as X231 (to be introduced later).
++++++++

++++++++
Mr. , like those few people who supported Christian and Pilgrim after they took abuse for wanting to buy "truth" in Vanity Fair, visited my account during the "Prideful Intolerance." Making sure that he was not going to flame me, he plainly asked me about my beliefs. I was overjoyed toward his tolerant views. As his replies have shown, Mr. Stuurminator is capable of intelligent conversation and gives his opposing views in a tolerant way. We ended up becoming friends. (Unfortunately, I am zetta slow in continuing the discussion we started... Then again, he has college, so he is also slow in his responses...)

He does not carry much in his gallery, though... No bother; to each his own.
++++++++

++++++++
Ms. got in a clash with someone who was impersonating me. (Y After a clarification with the real MarkyVigoroth, she discovered that we do have a lot in common. She ended up watching me.

She does not draw that much due to real-life getting in the way, though she has a habit of frequently handing out pageview contests. Her art is truly worth the wait, though; she gives a considerable amount of detail to her characters, both in appearance and description. She is also doing a story series. As a person, you can think of her as an "otaku" (Japanese cartoon/comic/video game fanperson) due to her high interest in the above, especially in going to Japanese animation conventions. (Note: She gets A LOT of deviAtions in her devianSquallch, so she tends to make one rushy comment to cover all of the deviAtions she has obtained from you.)
++++++++

++++++++
Mr. started off in my life with posting a Journal entry about some false Christian who harassed him. Since his description of the harasser was close to mine, I identified myself with the harasser (even though the harasser was not me), and Mr. TB-Samurai banned me. Later on, he noticed the abuse I took during the "Prideful Intolerance" and defended me a little, as well as apologizing to me later on. (He want to do good to others, even if they are mean to him.) I cleared things up with him,`and now we ended up being best friends. (However, I sometimes end up doing things to him and even provoked him to anger again one time, so I am currently scared that I will end up doing something that will make him execute me for good...)

Despite his strong case of Asperger's Syndrome, he is actually a very mature person, willing to love his enemies and help others. His Journal entries all give interesting views on his life, whether the subject be his travel locations, news game/show series, or simply more Pili (a Taiwanese puppet show). He uses speedpainting in almost all of his drawings, yet he maintains a decent level of quality. He usually draws fan-art, sometimes of random franchises (just like I do!)
++++++++

++++++++
Mr. was one of those people whom I have met somewhere else and informed me when he joined dA. He has taking a liking towards hippopotami and Left 4 Dead (which frustrates me due to its ubitquousness).
++++++++

++++++++
Mr. watched me after taking a view at my art (and a "business deal" that I made with him). As you can see, he enjoys expansion, reflected on his character, whose abilities revolve around himself or others expanding in some way. He is excellent in his his Photoshop work, giving a quality comparable to Mr. varus-argo (mentioned later). Simply put, he is a good resource if you want experience/inspiration with "bigger" works.
++++++++

++++++++
Mr. watched me, most likely after my teaming with him in order to defend Mr. (who had been taking more controversy than he deserved at one time). Mr. Tobymanic is one who refuses to let oppression go its way (kind of like Sonic, who is a video-game hedgehog that can run at the speed of sound and carries gameplay to reflect said property) and is willing to defend others. His digital art style is, as the song goes, "simple and clean."
++++++++

++++++++
Mr. watched me, most likely per reference from Mr. Sdwaggy or Mr. The-Fat-RedsDragon. His art quality is between the afore-mentioned two deviAnts, leaning more towards Mr. The-FatsRedsDragon. Like the above two, his art is inflation-focused, yet his comics are more about his attempts to inflate others.
++++++++

++++++++
Mr. watched me simply for my comment on one of his deviAtions, which did not even have the critique I like to put in deviAtion comments. -.-; (People seemed to only favourite his deviAtions, so he was impressed that I actually commented.) He does return the favour though; he is one of the few people who do comment on my Journal entries and deviAtions, so he is actually pretty courteous.

His deviAtions mainly consist of giant dinosaur beings, sometimes with an inflation element. His art style give a realistic look to his cartoony designs, especially on the "balloon shine". You can also see 3-D effects in his gallery (think "3-D glasses").
++++++++

++++++++
Ms. found me when she found a (now in Storage) deviAtion that carried Mr. Quiet, a character from Mr. Men and Little Misses (a book series about characters which are the embodiment of a certain trait). I ended up getting more involved with her matters, and we ended up being friends.

She recently grew towards digital drawing, giving a style similar to Mr. Tobymanic's. She is mainly focused towards The Mr. Men Show, yet she also delves into other franchises. She is one to think up of humorous concepts and explore other ideas. She also works on some bases. She is a kind individual, yet she (like me) can go over-the-top at times, a flaw of herself that she knows all too well.
++++++++

++++++++
met me after I commented in one of his deviAtions. (I found him in one of his comments towards Mr. ReptileCynrik.) Surprisingly, he watched me just for that. Akin to Mr. ReptileCynrik, his reptile-esque character, Comodo, also carries a rather elaborate, though more sci-fi and Metroid (a video game series about an alien-battling woman), storyline, though he sometimes steps aside from thereof with his more relaxed comics. He draws decently with only pencil and colour-pencils (though one of his best works was his Inked Comodo, and he had recently obtained a tablet).
++++++++

++++++++
Mr. was a member of the San Miguel Inn forums (a forums about a video game series that requires you to play with the real-life Sun). Finding me here (I am Nidhoggr at the forums, by the way.), he watched me. His style of drawing is similar to Ms. Superdemon-Inuyasha's: a clear Japanese cartoon style. He tends to literally draw from video-game franchises.
++++++++


############
Honorable mentions (these either are not yet my friends, have left dA, or just deserve a mention):

++++++++
Mr. , also known as "The Dino King," "The Possible Winner of PCBC," and "that guy who worked on Coraline" (Ask him yourself!), can be compared to "that guy with which you hang around in college," due to the high amount of humour and fun in his Journal entries and comments. He is also VERY tolerant, even towards me. (He gets angry like everyone else, but, as I see him, he is the OPPOSITE of a jerk.) Simply put, he makes for a good friend.

He took animation in college, which shows in his deviAtions. His comment about his PCBC comics being like Saturday morning cartoons is an accurate description, with all of his deviAtions carrying a clean look to boot. Of course, his comics are also stuff of a good cartoon as well, giving plenty of action and a nice dosage of his humor to boot. (One noticeable aspect is his interpretation on Pokémon moves, like turning Stone Edge into a sword attack or Rock Tomb working on the beach, since "sand is just little rocks.")

I forgot how I discovered him, though. I might have been searching for Tyranitar pictures and found his Grimlock character...
++++++++

++++++++
Mr. is Mr. ReptileCynrik's brother, best known for his work on translating "Circle of Doom." His drawings have a simple yet satisfying build, kind of like pop art. He takes on a blunt tone when giving critique, yet, like Mr. chief-orc, he IS NOT a jerk. He actually knows his stuff when he gives critique, so listening to him is a good idea. (Maybe the blunt tone he carries is to stimulate the recipient into actually improving.)
++++++++

++++++++
Ms. got a rough start with me. (Does that mean that she will execute me in the end?) After Mr. TB-Samurai talked about a new game he had played, I expressed my dislike for the game (The game looked too occultic for my tastes.) Ms. Okitakehyate scolded me for my expression, and we got in a bit of a fight. However, we managed to reconcile. As I discovered (thorough Notes and not), she is a VERY active thinker, making up totally different concepts and liking to turn things inside-out in her mind, thus having her write rather long Notes and Journal entries (All like I do!). Like Ms. Superdemon-Inuyasha, she can also be considered an otaku, especially due to her visiting Japaneses cartoon conventions. If you like looking inside people's minds, then Ms. Okitakehyate is true to satisfy!
++++++++

++++++++
Mr. , a friend of Mr. chief-orc (and possible future opponent of mine) can be considered an "Original Character Tournament connoisseur," since he tends to join a lot of these. His characters are usually high examples of "manliness," yet he broke the mold at least twice with his simple-yet-complex "What-Guy" and his most recent OCT entry. Despite his spontaneous approach in commenting, he can bring out an elaborate backstory and background for his characters (which is a truly useful quality when working in OCTs). As he recognized himself, his art style is in constant transformation, yet he always manages to deliver quality, either through art style or plot/joke deliverance.
++++++++

++++++++
Mr. apparently just found me. He is simply that "greatest fan" that you have from the sidelines, since he favourites about every new deviAtion I put out. (I would like his taking time to comment on mine, though...)

(Blitznak! I should do that thank-you picture I promised him!)
++++++++

++++++++
Mr. 's stories are mainly all about transformations, giving a lot of detail whenever a transformation occurs (certainly to please his target audience). In some of his stories, he lets dragons give their side of the story towards their conflict towards humans (though the high... explicitness of their... draconic reign leaves to be desired), sometimes even provoking sympathy for these beasts. Nevertheless, the more "casual" transformation stories certainly appeal to those who want to live life as the charcters/animals of their choice (including me, yet I do not want the transformation to be permanent).

Despite the heat he is constantly taking, he has yet to do anything that causes me to think ill of him as a person. (He, like Mr. TB-Samurai, tends to unleash his emotions in his art, hence the explicitness.) You want some dragon fun? Go to Mr. werechu!
++++++++

++++++++
Mr. was another deviAnt that I watched even before I joined dA! He once wanted to improve in his drawing skills, yet, later on, he decided to be true to himself and not be so stressfully oriented towards said goal, instead focusing on writing, a form of art that he has long practiced. Speaking of thererof, his writing is well-done, having real form all around.
++++++++

++++++++
Ms. had been going through a hard time with haters. Mr. TB-Samurai went in to help her, and I followed. She later thanked me for the advice I gave her.

Like her fantasy deviAtions, she drives on emotion. She was willing to support the deviAnts in China (back when China blocked dA) and the peace in the Middle East. She was also there for Mr. TB-Samurai during his hard times. Like a few of my friends, expect intelligent conversation from her about current issues!
++++++++

++++++++
There is someone whom I prefer to call Aleph-san (to protect Aleph-san's identity). Aleph-san was also one of the first deviAnts that I watched even before I joined. (I simply liked Aleph-san's fat and Pokémon art.) Aleph-san, like Mr. chief-orc, was like one of those good friends you met in college (even though Aleph-san was 18 the last time I knew Aleph-san.). Unfortunately, Aleph-san left dA.
++++++++

++++++++
Beta-san (another "secret" deviAnt) came into my dA page flaming at me for the low skill shown in my art and how I supposedly could not take critique (you know; some of the usual things). Since Beta-san was neither sweary or highly stupid in the reply, I left the comment unhidden, giving Beta-san a tolerant response (while telling Beta-san that most of the critique I had obtained was mixed with flaming, hence the apparent intolerance towards critique). Surprisingly, Beta-san apologized for the flame and gave a more encouraging response toward me. (Beta-san proved to me that tolerance pays off...)

Beta-san took the dA community series, not liking the using of a dA gallery as a photo gallery of yourself or emphasizing pageviews over art quality. (I almost never pay attention towards my pageviews; I just upload my usually for-fun art for others to see.) Beta-san also takes art seriously, focusing on improvement and favouriting only artwork that truly WOWed Beta-san. The bad issue is that, due to people deeming Beta-san as a troll due to past experiences, Beta-san left dA.
++++++++

################

...that is a lot.

...I wonder if I could make a Persona 2-like game featuring my friends and whatnot as party members? (I wonder what would be the results of pairing off Mr. Sdwaggy with Mr. The-Fat-Red-Dragon and Mr. Tofer17, or Mr. chief-orc with Mr. Tenkyougan, or myself with Mr. DragonTamer2000, Ms. Haru-Megumi, and Mr. LWolstrom?)
