Smallish update

A month has come to pass, and I still have not released the skins on Secondlife.
I've been taking a good long while think on things. Where I am as an artist. Where I need to go, how to go about it.
Honestly?
I don't know, not quite. But I have a very vague idea.
I suppose that's something at least!
No matter which way I go though, I'm glad I'm choosing that path. That's something I've always held above everything else, is making my own choices and decisions.. no matter how terrible I am at it in hindsight. And that's something that's helped form who I am both as a person and as an artist today. I don't really think I need to state the value of just.. Actually genuinely being yourself, for better and for worse. I've had some great, awesome friends to help me when i needed it. To show me how to do stuff, and tell me what i could do better but never sway me from my path (Once again as either a person or an artist.) People who've given me the drive, the tools, and the network to expand beyond what I could be by myself.. To be myself.
Over the course of the past year or so I've been experimenting with a lot of things, especially digitally. I will be cutting back on a few things that I don't think I can do very passionately anymore and focusing on my strongpoints that I -do- want to see grow and expand. This will affect how my work flows but once again, I think it's for the better. It was very nice to try new things and feel my way around different media, but I think it's time to reign it in and just do what i love, rather than learn everything I can (Which is a very good experience, but I think at least for now, I can relax with it)
Unceremoniously going to stop this rant, before it gets too large. I just wanted to put a little notch in stick and see where I came from five years from now. Figured that at some point someone will be curious too. Be it now or later.
So yeah! Do stuff, be awesome, don't let bad shit get you down, and be you.

Sculpting your life around the things you do best is one of the greatest achievements, and it really pays off. Good luck with things.
