Who, What, Why and When...
8 years ago
I was going to write this last night when my passions were being manipulated externally. I will not go into that, as, well, just never mind...
I thought I'd try to explain my motivations for picking up a pencil in the first place,
I had several friends an associates that did anthro drawings, etc, I had a very strong libido and they'd draw for me - because they liked to. One day I thought to myself: What if I had a falling out, etc with these people and no more drawings! That was when I picked up a pencil in earnest. Granted, I gave myself "X" amount of time to become reasonably "proficient" or quit. It took a little over a year and I didn't look back.
My major studio influence then was Warner Bros.
How did I feel about my characters? Well I was every single one of them, good or bad My imagination was then, as well as now covering a broad spectrum. I put my heart and soul into each and every character, and in my mind, brought them to life. It was nearly impossible for me to draw the same character the same way twice. I never could have been a "pro" because I didn't want to be. I drew for my own pleasure.
I could have never done comics or crowd scenes because I had to acknowledge each and every character as being real and alive - to me!
I had to cease drawing some years ago, due to emotional trauma. That's when "The Music Died" and so did ! This is just the tip of the iceberg but I;m not pushing my luck!

Like I sad before it's sad you lost your passion, but you need to do what's best for you. People ought a respect that.

I understand how you feel. I lost my will to perform on stage almost a decade ago because of the abuse I was going thru. I can still write, but I often feel lost, like a relic.
