So for those that follow both my DA accounts, the powers that be has struck down my account in an abuse of power powerman2000

Man, I just feel like once i get going... the wind gets knocked out of my system. But this... sorta came out of left field. And me being stupid me, i depended so much on that damn site to support my whole life and family. All of this is due to to trivial stipulations over anime characters and their apparent ages (17 in this case) and despite their adult appearances, got taken down due to them "being too young for mature levels of art". We are talking mostly kill la kill ryuko, and you instantly see the holes in this logic. So anyway, i dont get a warning or anything, and the next day my account is taken down. Why? further deviation violations.  I didn't even post anything lately. Well, i guess old post count as further violations. So without warning, my account is gone. Sad... cause i would have gladly taken those images down myself had they asked.

I feel so foolish! I really shoulda diversified more. I did go to different sites and social media, but i really relied heavily on that stupid ass site. I guess this is what real social justice looks like. Just squash innocent bystandrs with your freaking crusade. Ugh...

I know that you guys didn't come here for this, but now that i will have to go elsewhere and start over, i really need your help more than ever. You guys already support me, and have supported me, many of you for years now on here. But i can only reach so many of you so the little places i can, i will. I need help. I had some people talking over projects, and plus depended on the few people who came to otakusquid through devianart.

Good bye Stan Lee! You came into my life with a spiderman comic that was in the trash in the 80s I picked it up, and was whisked away to a world full of wonder, and excitement. Right then and there, i knew i wanted to be involved in this world. In 2015, that dream came true as i realized that i would be a background extra in Captain America: civil war; and then realized that i actually made it on screen.

Stan learned in order to succeed, you have to do things your way! You have to write the stories you want. He always believed in his creations, and that they'd make amazing cartoons, and movies. He saw all his ambitions come to fruition, and really was just riding the roller-coaster he himself built, towards the end of his titanic life! This is what i will strive for. Today, i start building my roller-coaster, like Stan did!

As a young artist, i always loved drawing comic characters. I created my first 30 page comic when i was in middle-school. Thats around the time i meet all my friends. My ambition was so strong back then to become a comic artist. I need to get that child-like wonder back in my life. To charge forward with no regrets, and youthful enthusiasm like stan.

He had a life full of win! Lets not be sad for that. Im absolutely sure he died with no regrets, ready to meet his Joan in Heaven.

Stan, will always be at the heart of my creative ventures. Excelsior!

Im so grateful for my new babyboy Rowen, but i will always celebrate the birthday of my first son... Leonardo Steven. From your earthly family; mother, father, and baby brother...we send love into the stratosphere . 12-5-2010! You'd be 7 years old. I love you always! Posted this late this year... but we did celebrate with our newborn son on the 5th. Never forget this loss, but he is my angle now & the guardian for my son. 

Happy 7th Bday Leo by martenas

Today i have a very special announcement! For those of you who have followed me through the years, you know that its been a long hard road. Some of us didn't make it. I lost my first son 7 years ago & it was the hardest thing i have ever been through in my life. Well....good things come to those who wait in faith. On the date: Octobor Friday the 13th 2017 (Lucky date ;) i am blessed with another son to bring into this world. My beautiful baby boy Rowen comes during one of my favorite times... Halloween! Maybe he'll be weird like papa LOL! Heres a bit of homage to him.  I made some Halloween decorations to celebrate his birth.  Thanks to all that supported me through the hard times, and the scare he gave me a couple months ago.

Its Official...i made it on NETFLIX in a MARVEL movie!
 As some of my fans & freinds may know, i had the absolute pleasure to stumble upon a Marvel Set as they were tapping Captain America: Civil War back in the summer of 2015. Welp, after bugging them endlessly, i actually found my way on set, and in the freakin movie MAN.  Can you believe that? Its a trip man...but i feel that its an absolute blessing. I just wanted to share with you guys some of the scenes im in.

The Scene im in starts @ around 12:30 and 12:40...yes i counted XD Here are some screenshots.
And just in-case you aren't sick of me geeking over this...heres some gifs of your ol boy! Ahhh...i relish this moment. 
 
Being on set with the likes of Chris Evans(Cap), and Jeremy Renner(Hawkeye) was a trip! And oh yea...Scarlett Johansson (aka Black Widow) personally gave me a tic-tac & uttered a word in my direction. Ahhhh...jubilation...i can die happy! I wish i could say i kept that tic-tac...but i ate it, LOL! My wife is sooo over that story BTW,LOL!
 Be sure to catch your boy in Captain America: Civil War. Its now streaming on Netflix.
