█ A status update!
I'm not a summer person, for a variety of reasons. The first one is that when it gets hot I get extremely lethargic. More so than usual. It's hard to think because most of my thoughts end up being how uncomfortably warm and hot it is. I like winter for the sole reason that there's a lot of ways to warm up, but when it comes to cooling off there's not a lot of options. Sure if I had AC this wouldn't be an issue, but that's not something I have. Second reason: The things that want my blood. I'd probably find summer more tolerable if not for mosquitoes, which are annoying enough on their own; but if one gets in your room and you're trying to sleep and you know there's one around because of the buzzing? I get grumpy just thinking about it. Third reason: I burn easy. This one isn't much of an issue cause I spend most of my time indoors, but if I get caught outside for whatever reason around noon, it just takes about 15 minutes for my skin to fry and I'll spend the next week or so peeling skin off my face.
█ There's not too much to report on the artistic side. I've been playing around with my next idea, which could end up being another large project depending on how I want to approach it. It's not something I want to elaborate on too much as I'd rather keep it more of a surprise, though it seems to be a concept that 'works' with what I do. Though currently there's a high chance it'll end up being a YCH thing, or possibly another comic project; or both. I'll probably elaborate more once I have something other than a vague idea in my brain.
Doing art in general in the heat hasn't been... easy, especially with low self-motivation. Course that's also combined with the feeling of "I've done everything I wanted to" which also adds to the low motivation. Granted I haven't done everything I've wanted to, but there's always certain things outside one's scope of ability to currently achieve. It can be difficult to move forward when you have no idea which way you need to go to get to that far off goal.
I hope to be a bit more active in the coming days and weeks, but no promises!

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with next!
second: whatever your art ideas is i do look forward to seeing it. as for a neat idea i think you should do something where your shooting a lazar or something at the mosquitoes just for a quick art idea. plus i think it might be a bit more fun that way. you know just to get yourself in the mode to want to draw. think of how funny it might be to draw something like that hehe.
and third: self-motivation and self-confines are my biggest issues. i never seem be able to fix on and have the other get worst. most of the time it seem that they work together to pull me down and make things worst on me. that kinda how i see how things are working out for you. even if you are somewhat more active. i do wish to see you around more also welcome back and nice to see you again my friend. *smiles*
oh one last thing. have you tryed or played the new drakengurd 3 game yet? if not you should and if you have i kinda want to see what other inputs on it were. only tiemeth and i have talk about it and we agree on a few of the same parts really. so just wondering what you might say about it.
At least you have been sketching/doodling something, even if it doesn't lead to complete work. Whether you want to do a YCH or comic project, or both, we'll be here to support you and look forward to see what it ends up being.
If you are having trouble in coming up with ideas, just make a straw-poll and see where the results go...who knows, you might come up with something new on your own!
And if the heats really getting to you, just chew ice all day. Get a cup, fill that biotch with ice, and chew away. Though the second you stop it'll be hot as hell.
As for the mosquitoes... How are they getting in your house lol? Being as it doesn't matter anyways, here ya go. Easy to make, instructions on the website along with vid. Seen a neighbor use it outside and it's kinda scary what happened. http://www.thesurvivalistblog.net/h.....mosquito-trap/
I love the heat, that's why I am going to the beach in a few minutes.
Not much art on my end either. I have been focusing on my CNA class/ finishing costume commissions and working on my vegetable garden.
Sometimes it is best to take a break from art. Do what you have to do... even if it means not doing much.
