Art, Infinity Seven, zemotion, and ESports

Please go here for the official press release from DA! http://hq.deviantart.com/blog/44700501/

So as you can read (or guess from the title of the article), an E-Sports team named Infinity Seven has signed with SteelSeries and Deviantart, which for some of you less artistically inclined type is one of the biggest art-sharing communities in the world. Infinity Seven has the (pretty big) privilege of having zemotion as a manager (known as isJinn over there). Most people would say it's the other way around, but c'mon.

zemotion is a pretty big deal.

ZombieGrub, what are you talking about? zemotion isn't MVP, silly. Too true! But zemotion is almost the MVP of the art world. You can see her gallery here: http://zemotion.deviantart.com/

Pretty awesome stuff right?

And you know that awesome picture of Huk and Idra? Yeah, that was her. How about that Day9 sexy photo of him looking so nice in his suit? Her. She's a pretty good photographer, see, and her photography is so good anyone who spends about thirty minutes on DA will know her. Just like anyone who spends thirty minutes looking up SC2 E-Sports will know who MVP is.

So why is this so important I feel the need to a) write about it and b) compliment her like I'm about to go lesbian? A well-known photographer in the art world, who is a young woman, is taking the initiative to manage her own team and promote the world of E-Sports. For anyone out there who's an artist whose dream in life is to work at Blizzard (or any other gaming company, it really doesn't matter!), the combination of an icon from the art world joining forces with the greatness that is E-Sports is, well. Pretty great.

P.S: For that matter, I'd like to take the time to shout-out not only to zemotion, a woman artist pummeling her way through the male-dominated world of E-Sports, but also to any other woman or awesome artist who loves E-Sports. Art & E-Sports make me so happy.

New Computer! And Stuff!

I'm getting a pretty sweet computer in about a month...or whenever I have the money. I'm also going to NYCC in about two weeks, so it's pretty hard to gauge how much money I REALLY have. Who knows what I'll buy there?

Who knows how much I'll eat there?!

Anyway, my new computer will have awesome streaming capabilities (and since this current computer has literally none, that's a pretty big step), and with time (hopefully soon after I get the computer, because by then it'll be Christmas!) I want to get a good video recording set up going to commentate games. Until then, LegendKiller will be the streamer. It's just hard to get our times together, since he has weird-ass work hours as a reporter.

Besides that, I also wanna do some stuff on my own, such as commentating other games (believe it or not, I play WoW) in a humorous fashion, and setting up some small-scale talk shows. I'm a girl, you see, and while I'm only sort of happy to admit it, I'm going to milk it. Besides, I want to meet other girls who game, and it just so happens gamers usually like it when girls get together and talk about games. It makes them feel like we're talking to them, I guess.

LOL jk, but just like Europeans can have a different view on games than Americans, women will have different things to say. It won't be entirely female-based, but majority, just to make a switch.

I hope you guys will check out my stream once I get everything set up at justin.tv/zombiegrub, and check out Zombie Legend's stream at http://justin.tv/legendkiller898. We're looking for casting gigs if anyone's interested!
