Writing paused temporarily and rant
7 years ago
General
I've been thinking a lot lately from this. I think I decided to hold writing all together because I've been constantly busy with something for a little different experience. Don't worry, the visual novel is going but I feel like it still needs a little bit more work because it felt jaggy still and I feel like I need to retry a few images all over again. However, this doesn't mean that I'm starting all over again but I've been practicing personally without sharing a single image. It has been a whole year since I've announced this project and that's because I've been jumping back and forth on this which is causing a lot of frustration in my part. Truth is, I haven't even really been working on it because I was depressed for a while and I felt like my writing doesn't matter to anyone. I'll probably write the patreon reward and I'm holding the donations for a couple of months to get my health checked out.
Instead of doing the visual novel, I'm probably going to hold it until I can get back on track. Instead of working on it, I've ended up sketching stuff for fun anyway because it just relaxes my body and mind better that way. It has been WAAAAY over 13 years since I've stopped drawing. That long... That long... So because of that, I've somehow lost all of my talent and I'm starting over from scratch. I've made countless video game drawings when I was a teen, got an A on my art class, so I was at the top. Sometimes, I can't get my head on the game because of the new style I'm trying to put out there but it just doesn't feel right. Here's the plan: I'll probably add some of these sketches to the scrap folder for critique reasons. In order to get better and better, that's what I'll probably do. With that being said, writings are COMPLETELY paused temporarily. I'm not abandoning this but I do feel like I need to work on my hand now. Let's be honest, I haven't put much out there since then and I do apologize for the inconvenience. However, due to this, I'll add some commissions here. Another thing I want to point out, I have two freaking jobs... one here at my office and now at a recycling plant (recently hired this morning).
I've been a little flustered over this challenging situations that I'm in and I'm not sure if the visual novel will ever get out the door... Hell, this story was meant to be extremely short and I freaking suck. It has been a long draining day and I've been sketching crap all day pretty much without any thought of what I'm doing. Yes, I've been reading tutorials but sometimes they don't really help. Especially the books out there that just doesn't explain about colouring that very well so I never wanted to colour at all because of it.
Sorry to put this on suddenly, but yes, I am very aggravated and annoyed. Usually I have a calm mind but yeah... Right now, I need to pause writing for a while to get my talent back on track. Abandoning drawing was a huge mistake of my life until I came to this community. I know what you're gonna say, writing is an art. Yes, you're right. But I feel like I do need a bit of change of things and sometimes it's just not working at the moment. Thankfully, I won't delete the entire project 'cause things can be fixed but still...
Once again, I apologize for this.
Thank you for understanding as I needed a break from writing and hopefully "RELEARN" art at my own pace.
