Hello World (Update)

Hi
I've been ok! Took a long break from art and, as I'm sure some have noticed, decided to completely reboot my gallery in the process. Sorry for the lack of... anything. I want the artwork I post to be a better reflection of myself as an artist, but it's a perpetual uphill battle so I'm never really satisfied with what I've created. The drive to always improve is ultimately a positive thing, but left to run amok without some checks and balances, the drive can turn into ugly levels of perfectionism. I'm working on getting back onto a healthy track with my art. So that's the long and short of it. I will be back soon!

Anyway, feeling insecured is a bitch, I know the struggle. I'm never happy with what I do, too. But try to remind yourself that others don't think that way about your art. Some will adore artworks of yours which you're not happy with, even years after it was made.
That's mainly the reason I keep my old art. My oldest art can be found on my DeviantArt account, and I didn't delete it even though I'm not active on that site anymore. So others can still see it. c: Plus, sometimes I go back to special artworks and enjoy reading the comments I got there. Nice communities make sharing art a nice experience.
