To all those waiting on art
15 years ago
General
First off, I'm terribly sorry to all those who are waiting on submissions and such, I've been remarkably uninspired and, honestly, a bit lazy.
Stressed too. As you all know, my rats had babbies not too long ago and I was supposed to sell them back to the pet store that I got the parents from, as per the deal I made with the owner, enabling me to buy the male. Come time the babies are weaned, I talk to the owner agaain and he says what they are not going to buy the babies. But they will take them as "donations". I refused and am now trying my best to sell the cuteies on my own but everyone around here is convinnced that they fall under the "vermin" catagory and should just be killed. I refuse this angle as well, but I'm still stuck with 8 quickly-maturing rats and only two small cages for them. I can hardly afford their food so I feed them cereal and stuff as well as their lab blocks. And spending time with them so they can be seen as the loving critters they are when not scared out of their wits.
Now on the art side of all this, I'm really not good at drawing humanoid bodies, even though some may argue that fact, I do have to look at many pictures of the human body and piece together images in this fashion. {And I've just about used up all my pose ideas.} I know that dosn't sound too hard but I'd rather be drawing animals.
Now the issue with that is that I can't draw hands or paws or anything of the sort.
{If you haven't noticed, I go to great lengths to crop those out of my pictures, even if it means I end up loosing some part I actually worked hard on}
I also can't draw clothes....
But in light of all this I am still going to try to get some art out every now and then. And I really am terribly, horribly sorry to you who are still waiting on art.
