New Ideas for my DeviantART Account

1 min read

Hi everyone. Just a heads up that I might be updating my DeviantART account soon, with a new name. I also might be putting some of my pictures on sale for downloads.

I have also been under a bit of stress, having done a lot of pictures, and I've hardly posted them here on DA. I'll try and post many of them as soon as I can.

The main thing I kept up to date with is the weekly TopiComics, well, monthly on DA, as I upload all the recent strips once a month.

Apart from changing the name and pricing my pictures for download, I shall continue posting the same pictures, including TopiComics, Megamink, and even Sonic fan art, among other things.

I shall also try again at charging for commission art, if any of you would like me to draw something, but I can't promise I will do it. It depends on what the art ideas are.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

1 min read

I know I haven't been on DA that much lately, not even long enough to post a "Merry Christmas" journal entry before Christmas Day. So, here's a belated one. :)

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

I have some possible new art ideas for 2024, but I doubt I'll be posting them all here, depending on the art ideas.

After taking a whole year off from drawing Megamink comics, I am now motivated to start a new one. I have some possible ideas, and I shall try and work on them and see how they turn out. :)

Let's hope we will have an awesome 2024, no matter what happens. :)

Megamink Comics

1 min read

I have started publishing the old Megamink comics, beginning with 2005. Any early comics that are already posted will be added to the yearly galleries when I get to them in the comic uploading.

Some of the early comics might be rated mature, for example, there's a comic adventure where young Harvey Sleek develops a crush on his babysitter Fluffy, with some risque moments, but nothing too explicit thank goodness.

Regarding my previous journal entry, the alternative to posting the comics by CD-ROM would be uploading all the comic folders onto the MEGA site, and I share the download link to anyone who is interested in reading the comics.

A New Megamink CD-ROM Idea

1 min read

It's been a long time since I tried self publishing my art on CD-ROMs, but a new idea came up, and I might probably try and publish an all new CD-ROM with all 100 Megamink Comic adventures. :) That could be the alternative idea to publishing the early comics here on DA, but I might change my mind, or I might do both. :)

Stress Update

2 min read

Hi everyone. After a week away, I am now inspired to keep Megamink going, besides I keep reminding myself that trying to move on from something I really enjoy just causes more stress.

What I haven't decided yet is to either do a new series of Megamink comic adventures, or begin a new serialised storyline, or go back to writing adventures. I kinda miss writing, but at the same time, the written stories don't show my true talent, especially when it comes to writing original ideas, and I do get some words spelt wrong.

If I do decide on either writing adventures, or drawing adventure comics, it might something I'll do once in a while, so I can have time to work on other projects.

Recently I have been practicing my art skills when it comes to texture and detail.

This summer, I have started work on a folder of pictures called "Stephen Fox & Co: Summer of 2023." So far, I have only done a couple pictures, but I hope to do more soon between now and the beginning of September. Maybe by September, I'll have decided how to begin the new series of Megamink adventures. I might do a practice comic this summer. It's also been 25 years since I drew out the 1998 Summer special.

In a previous journal entry, I said I might start a new Megamink comic series as a Patreon exclusive. I may still do that. There are some old Megamink comics I haven't posted on DA, and I plan to upload them soon. I should warn you that some are risque and might be rated mature, even the non-mature pages.

I am also thinking about going premium on DA, but I might need to learn more about it before I decide. If I do it, I might upload future pictures and put a price on downloads. :)

If anyone knows more about DA premium, please let me know.

Happy Easter by Megamink1997, journal

Happy Easter

Apr 12, 2020

Hi everyone. Happy Easter. It's been a month since I last posted a journal entry. I spent the last three weeks at home during lockdown. I saw this coming so I prepared myself. For me, staying at home 24/7 is easy for me, especially as it's given me more time to create more art, as well as experiment with some new ideas. As for the Megamink update, I have now completed the latest story. There will be a short 5 page story coming up soon. After that, I might take a break from Megamink, and try drawing some other new ideas, or at least focus on permanent ideas for the next series of Megamink stories. As some of you may have noticed, changes ha

My Birthday Holiday

Mar 17, 2020

First of all, to everyone who wished me a happy birthday this year on DA, I just wanna say "Thank You". :) I am on holiday right now in Wales, and I'm enjoying my stay as much as I can, even with the world gone mad over what is currently happening. With the coronavirus on the loose, I have taken precautions, and have been carrying a sanitiser with me. I keep my hands in my pockets. Luckily I hardly touch anything. I have been washing my hands more lately. When I get back home to my home village, I shall limit my goings out to just around the village. No visits to any big cities nearby. It should be easy for me because I spend a lot of my t

Megamink Story Update

Mar 11, 2020

First of all, I'll be going to Wales tomorrow, for at least a week. My birthday is coming up. :) As for the current adventure, "Megamink 2020", a new villain named Cozmos was to be introduced, replacing Foxer as the main antagonist. But the idea is stressing me out, especially when designing the new villain. If you've seen the mystery character in pages 8 and 9, he was to be the main villain, but after drawing him, I'm not so sure of the idea. Also, I am starting to miss drawing Foxer into the stories as the main antagonist, so I may bring her back by the end of the current story, and Cozmos might just be the main villain for this story, wh

The Delay On The New Megamink Comic Story

Feb 20, 2020

I've been a little stressed over the new Megamink comic, and haven't done many pages lately, but hopefully I will continue work on it soon. If you've seen the last few pages, you know that an all new villain named Cozmos is to be introduced, and hopefully will soon. He was going to be the new main villain, replacing Foxer in the main cast of characters. But lately I've thought of a better villain idea, and unlike most typical villains I created who are always about destruction, conquering worlds and enslavement etc, this possible new villain may have an emotional back story, and bent on revenge, rather than just taking over the world. At th

Happy New Year and Decade

Jan 24, 2020

Hi again. Now we're 3 weeks into the new year, I'll go ahead and wish a better happy new year, compared to my last journal entry. :) As I was born in 1981, this year begins the 5th decade of my own lifetime. Almost 39 years old, and I have witnessed a lot of changes in progress. Some I'm okay with, some I like, and some I can't stand. I was talking with a friend earlier today, mainly about Political Correctness going mad, and when it started. Presumably it was during the mid 2000s, and I became mostly aware of the changes around 2007, especially when the smoking ban was enforced, even though I don't smoke. Enough of that though. I've bee
