EDIT: Yeah, okay. So I lied. I have no idea when I'm actually going to upload artwork again. I keep having second thoughts every time I hear about some art thief. Not that my work is worth stealing, but I work too hard on it; art and writing. I don't want to have to worry about the work I choose to post on the internet, so I may not do so at all. Even though I would like the exposure, feedback, and such, I just can't help but see my work being used without permission. It used to be a risk I was willing to take, but now that I'm getting more serious with my work and maybe considering taking up writing/illustrating as a profession, I don't really want my work online anymore. If I were to become a professional and be able to copyright all my work, than it wouldn't matter 'cause I'd just sue their asses if they stole my work. I've been an artist for about 9 years now, and I've never once "officially" copyrighted any of my work. Heh. I suppose it may be time to start pretty soon. I don't see myself as being very successful later in life, with writing or drawing, but that doesn't mean I'm just going to give my ideas away and let someone else take all the credit. Maybe I'll upload completely unrelated artwork one of these days. Just random pieces based on my dreams (or perhaps nightmares). I guess it's a good thing no one actually watches this page, waiting for something.



Well, my b-day has passed and I have new art supplies. I wasn't able to get what I wanted, but I'm probably not ready for more professional supplies yet so it's alright. I just tend to get carried away when looking for certain things. I got new Prismacolors, markers and colored pencils. Bristol and inking pens. I plan to start drawing again soon, just need to sort out some photo references on my PC and I still need to ask some photographers' permission to use a few.
I have a lot of practicing to do before I start on these two really big pieces I've been dying to draw. It's been almost a year since I've drawn anything. I might start with some Fan/Gift art, there are so many wonderful characters and creatures fellow artists have created that I'd love to draw. I think it'd be good practice to try my hand at some new things. Like *AlectorFencer's Plant Spirit. That would be such great practice at drawing with major detail, not to mention it would be so much fun to color.
I don't know where all this confidence comes from, I usually don't think very highly of my own work, yet I'm willing to tackle something as difficult as the Plant Spirit. I most likely won't draw it for a while, I'll start out with some simple pieces and work on developing my own characters more. All I have are brief written descriptions of them, except for Crucerein, but I'm still in the process of deciding a permanent appearance for him.
I never stick with the same characters, I constantly change names and looks. I have so much artwork that is completely unrelated to each other. I'll probably start uploading some past pieces in another week or so.
I could use some watchers and feedback; get back in the community again. I was never really popular, but that isn't what matters to me. I just want be social in the art community, learn some new things, get advice/critique, and just have fun with art. This isn't the best place to do that in, I must admit from what I sometimes see here, but there are still some wonderful artists and art lovers here. I will most likely look for some other art galleries later, but this is the first place I joined, back in like 2004 or something, so I'd like to stick around.

I wish I had more motivation to draw or write. The ideas are there, I just don't feel like doing anything with them. -_- It'll be nice when I become active again and am able to upload work here and on ~Crucerein.

I have the urge to draw some of my characters as Humans instead of Wolves. (Yes, I draw Wolves, not very original, I know. Been doin' it since 2001, and its the only thing I'm good at.) Damn you Sims 2 for 'causing me to turn Crucerein into a sexy Human. I'd post screenshots, but I accidentally killed my Sims in a fire... Plus, no one watches this place yet.

I browse artwork a lot here, and I usually click the download button 'cause that usually means there is a bigger version of the drawing or painting or whatever. BUT, sometimes I accidentally click the "REQUEST PRINT" button. Now, I'm not saying I don't want to buy prints from any of you, its that I don't got the money. So unless you get a note from me or something, ignore my print requests. I have probably accidentally pressed that button at least 10 times now. I'm sorry, hopefully some you have read this, and don't wind up putting up a print for me that I can't buy (though maybe you'll get other customers). I just hope I'm not the only one that keeps making this mistake.

I know nobody watches this account, mainly because no one knows who I am as well as the fact that I don't post anything here. But I have decided that if I ever write any stories, (which I most likely will one of these days, you wouldn't believe all the scenarios that run through my mind) I've decided I will post them here, as well as any drawings I may do (if I get my paws on a scanner anyway...). I'm more of a traditional artist than a writer, though I -am- experienced in writing.

I miss drawing things and showing them to people, hearing their comments and critiques and all, bad or good. I'm still not really motivated to create anything, but I sure do get a lot of inspiration from books I've been reading and artwork I've seen here. I recently bought a new sketchbook, though I have yet to use it.

Drawing use to be lots of fun for me, but beginning around 2005 and up, I started to not finish my drawings, and each year I produced less and less work. The last drawing I did draw and finish was in May 2008, I wish I could post it, but I have no scanner. Its kind of sad really, when drawing starts to seem more like a job than a hobby. I hope I can find my love for it again.

I see so many wonderful pieces on this website, and it just saddens me that I can no longer find in me the desire to create something like most of you do. The ideas are there, just not the motivation, and the inspiration is there too, but it isn't enough I guess. If this is artblock, it sure has lasted a long time now.

I think I shall carry around my new sketchbook (like I actually go anywhere besides different parts of my house ) and try to sketch out these ideas that keep coming to me, or maybe type something up. Art was the only thing I was ever good at, and it'd suck to just stop one day and never start again. I love all forms of art, including music and writing, but I'm only talented at drawing and using colored pencils or markers. Painting never suited me much, and pastels are too messy for my taste. I never tried digital art, but I do highly admire it.

Well, now I'm just rambling, but its okay, I don't expect anyone to read this, I just wanted to say a few things and get them off my mind. Hopefully sometime this year, I will have taken up drawing again, and hopefully will have posted some here. I do miss conversing with fellow artists or critics. Its hard to get involved in a community when you have nothing to contribute but whining.

I'm not new here, but I decided to create a new account. I won't be posting art anytime soon, maybe not at all. I just made this account to +watch my favorite artists and just to lurk around really. I'm one of those people that +watches over 100 artists but never really comments much, though if I +fav something I will make sure to comment, so don't mind me. Thats all really...
