2 Part Journal!
(Divided it up, just in case you just want the quick facts and don't want to get bored with the crud going on in my life! XD)
--QUICK UPDATE--
Hey Guys!
As you may or may not be aware, I'm having another FREE raffle over Easter Vacation! If you haven't checked that out please do!
It'll help me get helpful feedback and get to know you all better because I want to be friends with everyone (I'm a creeper like that! SORRY!) XD
I'm also working to prepare for Zenkaikon on the 25th, getting my costumes and artwork ready!
If you happen to be going to that Convention, My bestie and I will have a table in the AA and are hosting the Avatar Panel as per Usual
(Super Spoilers: we're going to be revealing what happened to Zuko's Mom at the very end and we'll be doing lots of live martial arts demonstrations!)
As far as art, look forward to some new button designs that I haven't had a chance to upload yet, as well as class projects!
I'm hoping to be kicking some art butt and taking names as soon as possible! XD
--VENTING/PERSONAL JOURNAL--
As usual, I like to keep everyone up to date on what's going on in my life when there hasn't been much going on in my page.
So,if you're wondering why art has been at a standstill, it's mostly because mental crisis mode has been in overdrive lately,
making it extremely trying to draw. I've been wanting to finished these two super intensive projects for someone and make some
new personal art, but it feels like everything I create is an utter mess (and I don't want to give anyone crap).
On top of that, my bad shoulder has been acting up, making prolonged stints of drawing next to impossible. I'm really
starting to worry, I may not be able to draw much at all in the future with how bad it's been getting...
The biggest setback has actually been school...
I'm currently majoring in art therapy because I was hoping to use my passion for art to help others...
Unfortunately, my adviser, who is also head of the department, blatantly told me he doesn't like me... like at all...
I kind of became mentally winded because of this and it definitely affected my will to draw. I keep thinking "what kind of an awful person
must I be when someone whose job it is to be compassionate and empathetic to others simply can't stand me for whatever reason...
I even had the awful luck of having him as my portfolio reviewer and he said he loved my art but didn't like me,
then proceeded to flip out on me because I asked if he could repeat a question because I didn't understand.
=__= Apparently, I can't do anything right even though I'm not even trying to make anyone mad...
I'm hoping to get back on track, but it seems every move is two steps forward and one step back with other difficult external personal life factors
interfering as well. Thankfully, I've been feeling a little more hopeful after talking to others in my major who feel targeted by the teachers
in that department. I try not to let other people's comments affect me, but being around it so much, has slowly started to eat away at me.
I took a breather and my friends are really supporting me and keeping me in high spirits despite everyone going in my life.
So, I apologize, for not creating as much art as I'd like...
I want to start doing more commissions again as well as charms and such! ^__^ So I'll work hard and try my best!
Thanks so much everyone who is still watching my art and supporting me! You all mean so much to me, so I will try not to disappoint!

Thank you so much for stopping to look at my art!
like... mainly because it's proof they're picking favorites or not favorites.
You could do something about that.
Anyways, it sounds like he's a failure of an art therapy teacher,
I'm pretty sure just being under the term of "therapy"
means that One should be patient and understanding of the people they are around
Because your trying to help them...
Is there another art Therapy teacher you could transfer to?
::sigh:: unfortunately, there's no other therapy teachers to have as an adviser...
I have one more semester before I finish the core as Art Therapy
and then I may transfer out to get my master's in illustration instead.
Apparently, then I can teach art at the college level.
So, I'll have options: Low level Art Therapy or Art Teacher,
or just become a general butt of an artist (which is the long-term goal
of what I really want to do!)
Thanks for the advice, though! It helps!
