This is the place where you can personalize your profile!
But, how?
By moving, adding and personalizing widgets.
You can drag and drop to rearrange.
You can edit widgets to customize them.
The bottom has widgets you can add!
Some widgets you can only access when you get a premium membership.
Some widgets have options that are only available when you get a premium membership.
We've split the page into zones!
Certain widgets can only be added to certain zones.
"Why," you ask? Because we want profile pages to have freedom of customization, but also to have some consistency. This way, when anyone visits a deviant, they know they can always find the art in the top left, and personal info in the top right.
Don't forget, restraints can bring out the creativity in you!
Now go forth and astound us all with your devious profiles!
- How long have you been drawing? 26 years. I didn't pursue rigorous training when I was younger and am now am way, WAAAY behind where I should be.
- Do you do art requests or trades? Sorry, nope. Between a full-time job, my comic, and sleep, I don't have much time these days.
- Are you open for commissions? Very, very rarely, and only when I post an "open" notice. I love doing commissions, but as above, I just don't have the time.
- Do you do comics for a living? Nope; I'm a technical illustrator by day. I have no plans to make a career out of comics. The money's not so hot, and I think stress would suck a lot of the fun out of it.
- Will you be selling TJ and Amal as a book? Yes, in fact, Volume 1 is now on sale, and I am hoping to put out Volume 2 in late 2012 or early 2013. The story will also be collected into a single big volume when it is completely done. In the meantime, it can be read here.
- Do you have any advice for young artists? Draw from life. Draw from reference. Draw every day. Forget about manga/anime until you've done reams and reams of life drawings and have learned the principles of anatomy. Pursue solid, stringent art education, whether inside or outside a classroom. Don't avoid criticism; it's like a vaccine - might sting at first but it makes you stronger. I slacked on all three of these until about age 23, and have been at a major disadvantage for a long time because of it. Don't make the mistakes I did!
you are my new God! your webcomic is just one of the best I've ever read! the art is amazing and the story is very fascinating ! I'm looking forward to reading the next page!
Hey, I'd just like to say that I found your comic yesterday, and couldn't stop reading until it was midnight and I'd caught up to the current page. I also made loud noises of indignance when I realised that it stopped at that page. I was like, BUT- BUT- MORE? D':
The art is amazing, the story is sweet and beautiful and I'm so thoroughly sucked in I'll definitely be following TJ and Amal with avid interest from now on! Please keep up the wonderful work, I'm thoroughly, thoroughly enjoying it.

I looove your drawing style and TJ is hands down the most believable character I've ever read. I'll definitely be buying a copy of the comics once they're books.
