PLEASE DO NOT DISREGARD THIS JOURNAL. RESPONSES FROM ANYONE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU. TURNING CAPS LOCK OFF NOW (LOL).
Ahem. You may be wondering, if I tried (pronounced "made a dismal attempt") to hype the TF2 set so much then why on earth haven't I released more than one card from it since I have most of the set finished? The answer, my friends+family+total strangers, is four fold. Firstly, I've been cramming for finals so I haven't had time to post any more. Secondly, there are about sixty more completed-ish cards to release. If I do release all of them, it will take some time. Thirdly, the set isn't really that great as far as MTG card design goes. It's great for a laugh, the cards are pretty balanced, they play nicely together, but they lack the feeling of belonging to a set. It feels like a bunch of vanilla cards designed to counter other vanilla cards in the same set. There's no real common thread that runs through the set, except for the obvious fact that it's all TF2 related. The fourth is the real reason this set may never see the light of day though a Deviant Art release. I released one of the better cards as far as aesthetics AND card design goes, and the reception was...well, lukewarm would be a bit too generous of a phrase for me to use. There wasn't a reception. Simply put, no one cared. If that's the response one of the set's best cards gets, it probably won't be worth my while to release the rest.
That being said, if enough people respond to this journal telling me they WOULD like to see more cards, I would be willing to put out a few more. Until then, there is very little chance of me releasing anything new for a while. I hope to hear from you soon.
Yours as always,
OdaNobonaga

To whom it might concern, I'm not quite dead yet.
I think it's time to set the record straight once and for all. I've been nagging myself to write this journal for quite some time now, so it's high time I actually did. Here goes...
To those of you who were wondering why I haven't done anything on DA in such a long time, I decided to take an indefinite hiatus from DA and making cards. That hiatus is now officially over. It's back to work. The reason why I decided to leave DA and stop making cards was three fold. Firstly: no one had responded to any of my new stuff in quite a long time. I found this disheartening because I put so much more time into the stuff that was appreciated the least. M
I act like an eighteen-year-old
[x] You know how to make a pot of coffee.
[ ] You keep track of dates using a calendar.
[ ] You own a credit card.
[ ] You know how to change the oil in a car.
[x] You've done your own laundry
[ ] You can vote in an election.
[x] You can cook for yourself.
[x] You think politics are interesting.
TOTAL SO FAR: 4
[ ] You show up for school late a lot.
[ ] You always carry a pen/pencil in your bag/purse/pocket.
[x] You've never gotten a detention.
[ ] You have forgotten your own birthday.
[x] You like to take walks by yourself.
[x] You know what credibility means, without looking it up.
[x] You drink caffeine at least once a week.
Sigh...
I'm finding myself in a bit of a funk right now. Low energy, low self-esteem, low dignity. To be honest, I was much too enthusiastic in my last journal about releasing the tf2 set. I'm not even sure why I bother writing these journals anymore. They cycle between far too energetic and far too dismal and gloomy. I guess I just feel obligated to put my thoughts out there in the off chance someone out there really does give a $#!^ about the rambling thoughts and emotions of just another depressed individual. This is just another message in a bottle, addressed to no one in particular and yet a reply is still unreasonably expected. I apologize for
The wait might just be over...might...
Well, this is it. The moment you've all been ignoring me while I rant on about may finally be upon us. I think that, after creating a full sixty-six cards (well, almost all of them are done, anyways...), I'm probably going to start releasing the TF2 set as soon as...well, today actually. I finally decided not to include card numbers with them so I can start cranking them out before I do all the tedious work on getting the equipment cards and stuff done. Actually, I've decided to really start posting them today. I'll start RIGHT AFTER I FINISH THIS JOURNAL!!!
...Didn't see that coming, did you? XD
