I know that there are many things in life that have a way of taking over ... you know, like job, responsibility, mortgage, kids. I also know that as we get older priorities change ... but I was wondering if anyone can shed some light on what has happened to some of regulars that were around when I first joined up?

Quote:

Winterhawk - Has been away due to personal issues. Still pops in now and then when we need his help.

JrMcDeath - Very active on Facebook, still drops by to check this out and leave a comment when he's not too drunk... or is the other way around?

Bikerbot - Already not very active when I first joined... so can't say much...

MsV - Last I heard, she was having some problems with her account...

Biohaz_Daddy - He just faded away some time ago... I miss his constructive critique and brilliant art, tho.

OCP - That online persona is dead from almost every site I could remember to delete it. The only place I didn't erased him was at Heromorph. But I'm very much alive and kicking.



On other hand, I like this topic and I can add a few more names I miss seeing around here:

Wasmith - I have no idea what happened to him...

bhm1954 - Although I truly understand his reasons to stop posting, I still see him visitng now and then and it would be great to hear about him.

Thayne - I still see him in Facebook but I also miss him around here.

co04 - A master and a gentleman. Gone almost at the same time as MsV.

matrixblur, bluebeetle3, petercotton, chowyspizz , Masterchief, skurge, Dark_Knight_DK, Cyanure, BRaZZZil, Hisstoryman, Android, Wolverine1607, ReddEra, VampireLover, MeterMan, MeterMan, VagabondX and so many others...

I also miss Walley but I found out he died a few years ago.

Yes I miss all the old crowd but
I just like all this stuff so much I
couldn't leave though I almost did
without notice after a Heart Attack
and was in a Coma and when I when I
woke out of it did did my rehab I
couldn't wait to get back on line!

I guess the Heromorph community is much like any other family. Kids grow up, move away, start their own lives, and slowly lose touch with parents or relatives. Change is good for any community, but change is usually hard to accept. That's why everyone always talks about the good old days. As much as we all look forward to the future, we always seem to dwell on the past. I hope all those missing members are doing well, and that they will come visit every now and then. The welcome mat is always out.

Although, I did start a new manip last night.... while drunk.

I've been wondering the same time myself for a while, thou it didn't cross my mind to see when they last logged in was, stalker much. Petercotton was one of my favourites and the image Winterhawk did for me many moons ago is still one of my favourite images

Wow seems someone missed me so much he typed my name twice... I am alive and kicking. Might even start posting again ... who knows???

Hey! That's because I stutter while I write.

But it's nice to see you back and posting awesome art.

Daruma is a cool guy, he did a real world favour for me once. Much appreciated.

R.I.P. - Dark Wanderer very sad ,....


Yes I know how it is as I died
5 years ago and was put induced
a coma which I came out of which
no one thought was going to happen.
Since then I have been watching all
the peoples who have passed since?

I'm still around from time to time, I'm back to working overnights again so.... my visits will be sporadic, I just learned of DW's passing last night .. looks like we are getting older my peeps... I think Jr's liver might die of shock one day though lol :P

So life happened. I became a father twice. Life collapsed. Took steps to start the healing process and rebuild. I see RedEra on facebook almost as much as I see Ozzy and JrMcDeath. I'm still drawing, just haven't gotten to the point where I can afford a decent setup so I can post again.

Two jobs and marriage put a serious crimp in my posting of art but that's no reason to neglect my Heromorph family. I will be posting again soon.

No one asked, but since I'm back I'll tell you where I was. We had a baby in 2008 and that made it very hard to keep up with the hobby. Then the MCU happened. I liked everything I was seeing on the movie screen way more than anything I was doing in Photoshop. I just lost the desire to manip. But when I heard Alison Brie was being sought for She-Hulk, it came back to me. I know I'm rusty, and I didn't devote hours to it like I used to, but I hope you guys like it.

I'm still alive and out here. I had a mild stroke in 2014, and after getting over that I have mostly focused on astro and nature photography. Truth to tell, I sort of got tired of all the art that was being generated by software... me being a photomanip kind of guy I appreciated the hard work involved in transforming a photo into a sexy superheroine. I still look in from time to time, usually as a guest.

I dropped off the radar involuntarily, LOL. My computer met an untimely death and took some hopes, dreams, and opportunities with it. I have been going stir crazy trying to live without my art but I'm back now. It's been a series of setbacks but hopefully that is behind me and I'm looking forward to the future. See y'all around.

I see nobody missed me. In case anyone was wondering, I haven't really been around heromorph much. Haven't really done anything with art in over two years either. I just lost my inspiration and work leaves me mentally drained. It's hard dealing with idiots all the time.

I was trying to get back into the art. I wanted to. Friggin' longed for it. Trying to find my muse. And DW was helping me with that. Kept trying to give me ideas, sharing his ideas, and showing me his works in progress. His passing hit me pretty hard, so I guess I just kind of regressed back into that funk.

So, annual checkup? ummm, check in? not totally sure this is even gonna be much more than a stealth check.

Basically, it's been one hell of a long journey. One that involved a conscious effort to focus on the positive and let go of the negative. One of discovering that family isn't always relatives. One that has shown me great joys in becoming a father, a student, a friend, and soon a husband. And in rediscovering all that I sacrificed to survive.

This journey has me on the road to becoming a translator. A dungeon master back after a 25 year hiatus. And a teacher to those who are currently traveling down that familiar path.

As to art. I do still drop pencils every now and then. The last piece I did was a follow along with Pub Draw on Critical Role's channel. I can say I have a new found love for Copic Markers now.

Yeah, what ever did happen to that winterhawk guy.

I'm not working on any art... .but I thought I would stop by and say "Hi" Still love this page. Maybe I need to get a little inspiration. I Don't know if any of y'all believe in ghosts, but my mom ruined the 4th of July for me. I always shared with her my manips. And after she passed I was working on a manip and not really enjoying the piece. I put my stylist in it's holder when I thought I heard her voice down stairs. I went to investigate, and when I got back to my computer, my stylish was gone. I tore the house apart trying to find it. I finally found it under my bed, under a bag. I took that as a sign that someone (mom) was not happy with that manip. LOL I trashed it. I need to find me a new image to work with.
