Moving On
17 years ago
In response to an e-mail.
Hey, thanks for the tell, sorry if it’s been a while.. I rarely get a chance/remember to check my email. I haven’t really done anything in a while, I think I write concepts better than I get to produce them.. Haha. It’s been a while since I’ve done them regularly because I got into music a few years back and all my productive time went to that. I’m a big time gamer when it comes to sucking up hours away at something as well, and often I don’t get the best privacy in the world.
Between you and another friend though I can’t help but want to do ‘something’ at least. My biggest problem right now though is that I don’t want to return to doing this stuff on the whim of nostalgia. I personally believe one can’t move forward as a person unless they ‘learn’ and not ‘dwell’ on their past. Do I want to be stuck in a loop, or do I really gain experience from this? Nowadays I’ve been a bit distant from the fandom, and when I pick up pencil to draw I can’t help but feel like it’s happening all over again, thus creating writers block… but with drawing.
I always believed that perfection was to do everything for yourself. Rent, Food, and Gas all has to be paid with a job. However, sometimes it’s hard to find that driving force that gets one there everyday. For many years and jobs I’ve had to deal with the fact that I thought “If I can‘t do this for myself, how could I support someone else?” From there it can be a depressive cycle that makes you question how close you get too someone.
After a few years of Counterstrike, World of Warcraft and a few good books like “The Art of War” and “Building a Leadership Revolution”, I started to realize it wasn’t about just me. It was about what I did for the ‘team’. What I did, and could do for others! I’m now proud to be able to say that I do what I do for you! Weather it’s forwarding a call to the General Manager, or it’s Singing a song in front of a crowd of people, I know that people are there because they like my flavor.
So, that’s sort of my answer to why it’s been so long since I’ve done stuff… The “AGNPH” animation was supposed to symbolize my departure. I never go there anymore, and to be honest they started adding a whole bunch more Pokemon to the point that I didn’t even bother to try to keep up. I saw the Indigo series and beyond that was just damn boring to watch compared to.. Well any Anime that goes beyond 3 colors of shading for a particular object or color.
Spare for my old friends that I still feel for from AGNPH; and hope they don’t ream my hide for what I’ve typed, I generally just lack a fan base I’m particularly fond of that’ll get my draw back. I don’t want to feel like I’m riding the coattails of a dead horse. I game a lot so sitting in some IRC channel is out of the question, unless I’m at work. Not that it would be a problem but if I remember correctly, a Furry without privacy on the internet was like being temporarily neutered!
So if I did come back.. I may barrow some more artwork from Mathias, and do some loops. Other than that I’ll probably be focusing to my music, maybe mixing what I learned from flash into something. I always had an inkling for Radio and Animation so don’t be suppressed if I try a “Gorillaz” spin-off with a Radio Show someday!
“To those we have lost…”
