Oh look, another "Not dead" journal. Pfft.
4 years ago
Just because the last one's been up since '19. Not that anyone (aside from me) is bothered by that. ;_;
Anyway...2020. Yeah, what a shitshow. And down here in latinoland it wasn't any better. And it's getting worse in 2021...yay?
Long story short, still blocked, bunch of scribbles that aren't good enough to label as art, with the exception of a November experiment that hasn't been touched since. Oh, and more kidney stones, relatives with COVID, constant depression and a feeling that life's ending is around the corner, extreme guilt for not working on art and being shit at college, envy from happily taken sis livin' in the US...you know, the usual.
Though, considering I'm someone that seems to work better based on visual cues and starting something (helped me watch movies for nearly two months, every day), I'm trying that with art. Been saving an average of 200 random art pieces from FA (and occasionally e621) while going on "fave-sprees", organizing them by tags and artists (I'm a sucker for organizing, labeling, archiving, sorting, filtering...<3) and choosing a few to make into wallpapers, since I just discovered Photoshop's content-aware filling/tools. Hell, I was actually going back through my gallery and updating tags and descriptions.
But while I do occasionally feel heavily depressed at my own year-long lack of art and (at this point) rusted skills, it's slowly making me more artsy. Fingers crossed it leads to something good. x3
Well...guess that's it for now...God, I'm actually missing people and feeling lonely again. Urk.
(Big hugs if you actually read this far! ^_^)

Just continue to create and be awesome.
And yes being art blocked sucks.
Been a fan of your stuff for years by now, but I don't really chime in very often.
Hope you're able to get your block cleared and feeling better.
I know a thing or two about getting into those depressive guilt funks. >.<
(Before you ask, I'm okay now! But if you were starting to type, thank you for the considerations.)
Really glad you are still around though. Not a great last few years for anyone. Hope the new year gets a little better somehow. You stay as well as possible.
