Alive... in a way.

Journal Entry: Tue Sep 25, 2007, 9:51 PM
Yep I'm still around, I just haven't updated anything. I've had a lot going on mentally.

Since I graduated from SCAD, art and I have been at odds it seems. Couldn't find a job in my field which caused me to reevaluate whether I even wanted to be a traditional animator. Now I think I just stuck it out because I was stubborn and didn't want to be "wrong". I'm focusing on comics and short stories/novels now. But it's progressing slowly. I guess now I lack faith in myself and my choices. I'm slowly plugging away.

I still draw things, but I haven't done a finished piece in weeks now. In a way I feel defeated and like I wasted a good chunk of my life pursuing this art dream. I don't think I'm a bad artist, but mediocre. Yet there's this overwhelming feeling that *this* is what I am meant to do. SO, why can't I seem to do it. Sigh.

Hopefully I can get this comic finished. My plan is to enter it in to the International Manga Contest from Kodansha. But I'm feeling like I might not finish it in time for the contest, but I've told myself no matter what I will finish it. I'm just being to self defeating and I know it. But it's something I have to work through.

I just wanted everyone to know whats going on.

Thanks for the support!

Thank you! I really liked the style I used for that too. I'd like to use that style more in the future, but I'm working in a different style at the moment for a future calendar(hope I get it finished).

Thanks for the kind words. Lately I have been feeling more like getting back on the pony, so to speak. I haven't actually started, but I'm feeling the desire.

I'm sure there will be tons of ecchi when I do get back in the game!
~Tethia:iconTethia: Feb 10, 2008, 4:19:44 AM
Draw some ecchi! The masses will love you for it. =P But seriously. I know how you feel about the lack of direction.. It takes time to work through, but sometimes you jus thave to sit down and decide that you're going to do it now.

Let this be your motivation: :petting:

HI! Sorry for the late reply, I don't check my own page much at all! ^_^;;

I can assuredly say that I do draw like that! XD
My main problem lately has been a lack of motivation and direction. I'm working through it. Your words are encouraging and helpful in my overcoming the lingering doubt!

THANK YOU!

I guess that journal entry is pretty old, but if things are still like that.. Well, I wish you the best. =) Saw that bikini girl and if you draw like that this art dream isn't going to keep being a dream.
