It has been quite the absence for me when it comes to DeviantArt and with that absence came the forced confrontation of real life (Not that DA is much different than it LOL). However, I just wanted to make a journal entry to keep you all posted on what's been going on with my life. I'll just start off with the biggest and most important news; I am now going into the National Guard. It was a hefty decision, but I finally made it after looking back and forward on my current situation. The NG is going to be beneficial for me in terms of both money and knowledge. The jobs I have listed for me so far within the branch are 1) Diesel Mechanic, 2) Small Arms, Infantry Weapons, and towed Artillery Smithing and Mechanic, and 3) Communications. Although everyone was expecting me to be some G.I. Joe Rambo mix of a machine going into the Marines, and although I have wanted to taste the front lines, I had to go with the National Guard. One, so I could stay in state and close to my girlfriend and family and two, so I wouldn't have a higher risk of deployment.
Anyways, with that biz aside, school's been going alright. I've already almost let myself go to the procrastination (And when you have American Government, that doesn't help) and having games like Doom 3, Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Super Mario Sunshine, Terraria, etc. on your laptop doesn't help either. However, I am still pushing through, turning in projects, learning pointless stuff and passing my classes either with ace or barely.
Lastly, I'd just like to thank those who have stuck around with me over the years. Those who have silently or audibly supported me and my artwork and progression. Those who have both inspired and followed my ways. I thank you sincerely.

Ich bin mde von meinem Leben
Well, besides barely ever having time to draw on top of daily chores and work, now I can expect even less time for anything. Reason: I'm getting recalled to 3rd shift at my work -.-

As much as it doesn't really phase me, since I don't have a life to tend to anyways outside of work, it's still frustrating being told that I have no choice or say in the matter (Even though it's in our contract for me to be able to deny a recall). BUT, our HR is full of fresh bloods who don't know what the fuck they're doing anymore and don't follow contract whatsoever. So, I'm glad my employment rests in their newbie hands.

How long have you been on DeviantArt? *Looks at profile page* Isn't that self explanatory? lol
What does your username mean? I've been using the Drakonias name for as long as I can remember just because it sounded cool I guess. Never really had a meaning to it, but rather just a childhood thought that stuck through the years. However, the "115" part is because I used to play Nazi Zombies with a group of friends 24/7 and the only map we ever reached round 47 on was on Kino der Untoten on Black Ops 1. 115 being the song of the map. 115 is also the number of the element supposedly behind the zombies being created.

My scanner came in, or should I say was finally bought. I had some issues with getting the one online, so my girlfriend and I went to Walmart to get an All-In-One Scanner/Printer/Copier. I'm glad we did though, saved me $50 O_O.
But anyways, now that I have that hunk of motors and ink sitting on my desk, I just need to get time out of my day to draw. I've been having a ton of ideas coming and going so you should see some submissions within the next few weeks.

Ich Habe Kein Zeit
Work has pretty much been ruling my life lately (We've been working Overtime on Weekends for the past month now and I heard from another guy on the line that the factory's making us work OT for probably the next few months as well). I mean, I love seeing all that extra $$$ on my paychecks, but a little time, or possible a whole damn weekend to myself would be much appreciated. With all of this happening, I haven't had much time to draw or really doing anything for the Art World and it's making me slowly lose touch with it all and I am sorry for that to those who follow me. On top of that, I need to find my Sketch book, or possibly just buy a
