I'm still here... as much as I can be I guess. I haven't bee able to finish anything as of late. Been looking for a job withour much luck, as well as the usual art block and esteem issues. I'm just... dejected at seeing 'go here to see the full version' on some images... Part of me wants to know what that's like, but most of me says it's not for me. if only cause it's an art gallery you have to pay to enter. Doesn't help that the one publication that offered me an appearence went under, as well as a couple of fiascos involving VCL.

As much as some additional finantial support would be nice... I didn't get into art for that (though it does make me feel a bit better on the rare comission occastion). It's something I like doing... and am somewhat good at. Not to mention there's room to explore and improve things.

I'm taking some steps to get better at my art. Last image I posted showed I need to work at high res, as well as take time coloring.

Things I feel need to improve on:
*Anatomy (Specificaly species specific hands and heads).
*Defining muscle structures
*Males
*Couples
*Line Density
*Backgrounds (Starting with sketched in, single props)
*Coloring (Haven't decided on smooth or cel)
*Backlighting

Experiments I may attempt
*Pseudo-Mechanical Design (IE: Cybernetics)
*Painting with no lines showing on the final product

I'm also going to get my butt in gear and sketch out the new character that is more 'me'. I've only seen 2 named characters that are the same species as him. One sketch I did recently hints to the species.
