So, what's been happening with me...
15 years ago
It's been a while since I updated on what's been going on with me lately (on my old account, at least) just thought I'd give a very long way of saying I'm still alive. So, life hasn't been exactly kind lately (is it ever kind to anyone?). I'm at a point where I'm questioning everything...like where every time I crawl into bed I just want to stay there until I'm completely forgotten about. I have not been a happy person, at all...but what can I do? All I can do is just deal with all the crap until I get my opportunity to change things.
First thing is: I need a job. Hell, everyone who doesn't have one does. I submit application after application, and the closest thing I get to a reply is the automated "thank you for applying" messages...I wish they wouldn't do that, it's a waste of time. I'm even willing to apply at my old workplace, which I hated every soul crushing moment I was there. I can't believe how rude customers can be... I wasn't even there for very long, but I have a ton of stories. Any one reading this, I have a little piece of advice: be patient and be nice to the employees of any store/restaurant/whatever, they're trying their best give good customer service; they're not anyone's personal little punching bags. The customer isn't always right.
And not to make this into a long "dammit, why me?" session, I'll move on to other things. Thankfully, despite the madness, my art seems to be the only thing I'm in control of. Although lately I feel like it's lacking something, and I have no idea as to what. So I've been trying out some new things from coloring techniques to the subject of the drawing, and so far so good. One of my interests lately is science fiction art - I love the whole cyberpunk theme, with androids, cyborgs and that's what I want to draw more.
I'm still trying to work on more anthro art, I don't know if dragon people (more human-ish features than dragon) would count. I've been working on a new design for Safiya, which has been difficult since I first drew her. She's quite the little diva, and I can almost hear her nagging at me in the back of my mind as I experiment with her design. XD
Aside from that, I'm trying to catch up on my comic projects, that I post only on DA, except for one series, "The Neurotic Musings of Dr. Brenfriz". That one, I've posted on my old account, and it's a great series, I love it. It's kind of a way for me to get all my crazy out. ^^; Though I haven't been able to update it because I've been busy with life and the other stuff. I run this series and three others - that's right, three. Two of them are my own manga-styled comics, and the other is a collaboration between myself and a friend of mine. Sometimes I think I'll never catch up to the speed I want to be at, but it doesn't hurt to try...okay, maybe it does, but I'm hopelessly stubborn. :3
Oh, and did I mention I have another one in development? Yes, I know, it's going to be a lot of work. But I'm not too concerned since we're still in the planning stages. My RP group and I have the story figured out, and I'm still working on concept art, maybe I'll post some of it here. It's going to be based on our RPG, which is a scifi/fantasy game with knights, kings, pirates, mechs and space battles. It'll be the most epic (in terms of amount of work that will be put into it) project I've ever taken on. The story itself is very alive with its cultures, politics, its characters are very detailed and so developed. And I just can't wait until the script is complete and get to drawing the pages. So for now, I'm going to be using my current two comics as practice until I figure out what art techniques I'll be comfortable with so I can keep the art more consistent, because that's a very noticeable problem in my other comics. There's months apart between each page, and each time I've improved a little bit. So I'm going to be trying to make sure that it won't be an issue when this new comic is released.
Well, that about wraps this entry up. I have a bad habit of never shutting up. ^^; Well, later, all.
