Back again, uploads inbound :3
7 years ago
Hello guys. I'll try and keep it simple as always. Must resist urge to write 20 paragraph essay instead of journal... XP
A week or so ago someone pulled me up in a stream, and put it bluntly to me, told me they thought my gallery was going stagnant. No hard feelings to this person whatsoever, they were absolutely right far as I'm concerned. I've been away far too long again, and apologies for that. But hey, at least this time uploadphobia didn't strike again! I wanted to fix it immediately, sat down, started looking at stuff I've been doing and what could be uploaded...
And that's when it hit me. I am not happy with most of the stuff I've been working on. :/
Now... that doesn't mean I hate them, and, surprisingly, that certainly doesn't extend to commissions at all! I've got some hopefully good stuff there I'm proud of and I want to get up as well. I'm talking about my projects, stuff I worked on on the side or did spur of the moment. I keep telling myself I'll finish what isn't done or fix what I don't like and then upload them, finally! But there they are, staring me in the face untouched the very next day. I'm really sorry, I hate not finishing stuff, but I just lost all drive for these ideas midway through. :(
So I'm gonna compromise this time and scrapbook them. Not very often I use my scraps, I prefer to only upload finished pieces, but this time I think it's called for. Plus at least you can see them this way, which is a lot better then just throwing them in an archive and forgetting about them altogether. Not the first time I've been guilty of that.
I'll upload what I can a little later today, probably a little bit more over the next few days as I have a proper look through my sketches folder. I never say never, but most of these are ideas I don't think I'll get back to, sadly. Maybe you guys will still like them, despite the stuff I'm being fussy and griping about? I hope so. Thanks if you do, and thanks for sticking with me through another dry spell. :3

I think part of the problem is I jump straight from the preview to the download button, and I assumed others would, while it seems some go for full view. I don't know how either would work on a mobile, if that's also what you're using?
However I love seeing even scrapped sketch works, no matter how conceptual, (and wonder if people would think the same if I just uploaded the half done things in scraps with <And then this was gonna happen :shrug: >
That said, on seeing the uploads I respond with this. You made the right decision :3 Thanks for the art pile.
