Well, you could have noticed that I haven't uploaded anything worthy in a while... actually, that's because of a major art block, the main origin of which is the fact that I have reached some kind of a new level of artistic perception, but - alas! - not of the skill. It means that I am beginning to see better the techniques used by the other authors - or lack thereof - and thus become more demanding when it comes to art appreciation. Inevitably, I begin to realize the flaws of my own art and the ways it should be done, but lacking the actual skills yet render me unable to produce anything I would really like as of now.

The resulting idea is that I will be spending some time doing a lot of training drawings and _not_ uploading much of them. The bigger projects that I have started or promised to start will be reviewed on the daily basis, deciding individually if it's time to put the technical skills and snippets gained to use and see how they work in the finished drawing. Also, I will probably be practicing shading on occasional older pieces, mutilating them unbelievably :P

On a lighter note, I will still be around and watching you all, and will probably have more time for comments now that I don't have to spend so much time sulking and raging over the incomplete drawings that I lacked the ability to complete for starters :P

With love and respect, Rainesh ^^

P.S. Also, I will set up the projects status/counter soon, mostly to keep myself motivated and, surely, to pretend being somewhat alike all the great artists around with dozens of trades and commissions waiting in line :P
