Art, Life & Canada. (a.k.a. away for a month!)
9 years ago
So yeah. Let's do this in topics.
1. Art
I'll admit it, I've barely arted at all for months now. I'd say it's very often down to the Asperger's methodical habits. Basically, I'm -very- stuck with whatever becomes a habit and breaking it is darn hard. As it were, my current habit for most of the day is gaming. I think it's all that because even when I don't feel like playing anything, I still do it...unlike art, where my head is overflowing with ideas and concepts, yet my willpower magically drains whenever I'm in front of a computer. Worse, it's devouring me with guilt, since I've got commissions on the line and two of them haven't even been started. And all were already paid. And it would be beneficial now, since my father recently retired and my mother's getting fired on September 6th, which means our income is gonna get a severe downgrade. Yalp.
2. Canada?
Yep. I might have mentioned it casually around here, but I'll be spending a month in Toronto, Canada (september, to be precise). While it's 'officially' an exchange study, it's more like tourism, really. The reason for that is pricing. Exchange studies (complete with a place to stay and all) is around 1/4th of the price of the same trip on my own. And speaking of which, it's really 'on my own'. So it's my third trip abroad, but my first alone. Which is both refreshing and....kind of scary. <_<
But I'll still have access to interwebs throughout, so if you wanna look me up and become the first foreign online person I've met IRL...;D
And especially, there's something I'm looking forward too (and is kinda retarded, honestly). Since I'll only have my sis' ancient laptop with me, it means I won't be gaming as much. Which means I can art more. I believe that because during any 'boredom' moments where I have no computer access, my sketchbook gets pages and pages of sketches and plans and practice and so on. And with a rather meaningless english language class, that's gonna be even easier (thankfully, it's also damn short, so I won't spend the entire trip inside a classroom). So yeah, there's....quite a few things to look forward to.
Plus, I'm always considering the idea of maybe settling in for good. The issue is more of a 'what it takes' and 'how to survive there' though. But who knows...:3
So uh...yeah. While I won't submit art this month (much less work on commission(s), given the shitty laptop), I'll still be visiting here and skype and such (not steam though). So...see ya soon. FROM CANADA. :D~

Yeah, I do...it's right there next to the steam username in the frontpage. xD
and yeah, i can understand the gaming vs art thing, sometimes gaming can be very addicting and things like creating art become kind of like a chore. i have been through that phase before.
