Time for another update.
19 years ago
Only this time, no artwork. I figure I need to start updating my journal more often like just about everyone else does. Let's see....where to start about my life recently? Hmm....*thinks*
Oh yeah! First off. I'd like to thank the people who has taken the time to look through my work so far, and leaveing me some feedback on it. It really helps to know if I do alright or not. As well as know that I have some fans. Really means alot to me. *blushes* Eh, I know I still have a long way to go. And can't compare to many other's around here. v.v But, we all have our own styles. I keep trying to look at it that way...
2nd. Still been working in real life at the lifecare place. I always work the graveyard shift Thursday-Sunday. Thursday nights is 2 am to 8 am. Then Friday-Sunday is 8 am to 8 pm. So anytime I'm able to be free online is Monday through Wednesday. Available for chatting, rp'ing and stuff if I'm not busy with other things in real life.
Lately though I've been able to borrow a laptop from my best friend in real life. So I'm sometimes able to use that and be online while I'm at work. Best times to use it is whenever the folks I look after are in bed.
As for drawing, I have'nt been doing a whole lot of it lately. I've been busy all week taking these med classes for my job. We are required to get training so we can give our folks their med's while on the job. And out of all the classes I've taken so far. The med's course was by far the hardest. >.> So much to learn within 3 days. Gah! My brain wanted to blow up.
Of course, I'll probably forget most of what I learned, unless I keep brushing up on it from time to time. But I had the big test earlier this morning. Lasted about 6 hours since their was more then one thing to take on the test. Well over 100 questions and stuff. And thank god, I passed. Phew! *Whipes forehead*
I'm also planning on going on a trip to the Midwest Furry convention in November. *Some may already know about it due to my latest drawing here on FA.* I'm going to attempt to drive about 10 hours to my bro, nobodysville's house. Then he'll drive me, a friend of his, and himself 5 hours to the convention. Will be there all that weekand. So I'll probably have to switch hours with someone at work so I can be off for at least 5 days to do all this. If I only had my 90 days in by now, I could probably just go ahead and take the days off. But switching hours works for me too. Still get paid that way. ;) Sure need it.
Anyway, other then that, it's mostly been same ol for me on this end. Still single, *miserable*, and looking. Drawing here and there. Still some projects in the works, couple of trade's I still owe. As well as some gift art. I'll still get to them asap.
Well, I guess that's all for now from this kitty. I'll try to have more stuff up soon. Chow. *Mews*

When someone mentions they like getting feedback, I normally take that as an open invitation. The more well-known artists get a bazillion comments, so it feels like doting over their work is a little pointless to me. They've already heard it all; what more can I add?
Somehing I tell new artists (no, you're not a n00b, I'm not talking about you, but the point...) is that they WILL suck. That's the way it is. You don't dethrone Jimmi Hendrix the first time you pick up a guitar, you don't out-score Michael Jordan the first time to throw a basketball, you don't put Michalangelo to shame the first time you pick up a pencil..... developing those skills takes a LONG time, and remember what kind of artists you're comparing yourelf with.
No, you're NOT the best, and likely never will be, BUT, keep at it and you'll eventually earn some respect for it. The more time and effort you can put into it, the better. Remember too, there's always people who are WORSE than you that look UP to your abilities. I know it probably sounds strange, but it's true. I'd know. I'm an artistic nobody, and people still like MY junk, so if there's hope for me, there's hope for you.
Just be patient. It'll come to you.
Oh yeah.... and lucky! I have to wait until January.
But eh, drawing should really be for the fun of it. Not to please other's. But like I said before. Feedback can still always be nice. Even help inspiration. Thanks though.
PS. Always have enjoyed your work. And will continue to dream over us doing a trade someday. =P
I kep forgetting about that. WOW I'm absentminded. Give me two weeks and then start paging me daily. If you're available, how about then? Thanks for reminding me!
