A Restructuring...
16 years ago
__Warning: This is kind of a drag__
I think by now my reputation is shot, or at least I feel like it should be due to my performance as an artist for the last few...years?
Anywho...here's the gist: Art is just not fun for me anymore. I find myself not wanting to draw, seeing it as a chore more than a craft or a hobby.
As of the completion of the three commissions listed on my front pages I will be taking no more commissions until further notice. I might take a few in the future, but not until I get my confidence and my general feeling of...well...like for the art again.
I need to get some of the ideas in my own head down on a canvas for a while.
So yeah, there you go.
Oh, and as for my old and outstanding commissions; with the exception of a few,I will be reimbursing you as I can, but I just can't do anything with the shadows of past unfinished drawings over my head and holding me down. I just can't.
Sorry guys, but here's to a brighter and more productive future. Maybe one day I'll feel like such a disappointment to a lot of people.

Even though I don't draw, I write, and I have felt the same way before about it. I didn't enjoy it. It was becoming more like school work to me, so I stopped entirely. It took a huge thing, like joining the fandom, finding a writing buddy, and a HUGE idea to bring me out of it.
I hope you get one of those sparks. I hope you continue your art. It might be something as simple as a small idea or the way light hits something (don't know much about art....just guessing). Just don't give up.
Here's a toast to the future!
But what I am going to try and do is work in time to draw, and see what happens.
Take a break and pick things up at your own pace, when it feels right :) Just give us the odd journal post or something, so we know you haven't joined a monastery or gone to mime-school or something :D
Maybe we can figure something else out?
Be warned though... it's a BioWare game and thus you will lose the Will to do anything else *jitters*
