Posted 10 years ago I hate to say it, but I'm really flustered! Some of you have noticed I'm pushing a full effort into digital painting. While I understand most of it all, I can't seem to really get any techniques down I feel fully comfortable with.
In particular, I'm having brush problems. I don't enjoy blurred edges. Nothing about it feels concrete enough. Yeah, it all looks cool from a distance, but I really don't like it. On the other hand, pixilated images seem too unprofessional. So, I'm kinda at a loss.
Any advice? Update
Posted 10 years agoWorking on a bunch of projects here and there.
Currently working on:

charizardman (Overdue)

pumaking
~Doberman Journal Vote painting

334 (Overdue)

trunorth
~"Thank You" Art Thingy
Things left to do:
~World-building with
ferrel
~Implementation of Character Style sheets for "The Guardian"
~Cover Painting
Busy busy; but I can do it with a little time and a bit of help. I'll be doodling a lot more to keep stress down, and technique up. I've gotten rusty.
Anyway, this is the update for what's on my plate for now.

Winner!
Posted 10 years agoAaaaaannnnnd the victory goes to the Doberman!
It was close. The Jaguars just couldn't clench the victory though.
As a result, it'll be the subject of a very lewd painting, as opposed to the inking I do normally.
Thank you, all who participated! Vote! Vote! Vote! (Now closed!)

Posted 10 years agoSorry I've been a bit unresponsive! Something did happen since last posting for you all, and I think I should at least let you all know what happened.
Recently I've developed an abnormal sleeping pattern, i. e.; weird hours, restless sleep, the whole deal. Sleep deprivation. Mild hallucinations here and there. It's annoying.
Being an insomniac by nature doesn't aid me either. My body can't seem to deal with it.
Although this is a problem I should be able to resolve on my own, an incident that occured yesterday rattled me a bit more than usual.
I fell asleep at the wheel, going at about 75-80 mph down a state highway and came to a corner; flew about 200 feet through the median.
I was able to snap to it and maintain relative control of my car despite wet conditions.
I was really friggin' lucky. If I went to the right instead of the left, I would have flown over and 200 feet to my death. Even more lucky, trees weren't allowed in the particular median I skidded into; and that median type is common here in Mississippi!
My car suffered minimal damage, and I'm out about 200$ for the tow alone.
It really sucked! ^^;
But it also kinda blew a hole open in my mind and the way I see how things work for me. The situations I've been in. The way I pursue my dream. My sense of self-worth. It all changed.
Usually, I'm constantly bordering on severe depression, working here and there for approval of those who probably don't give two pennies about how I feel in the first place. I always feel like I'm teaching myself when it comes to drawing, and only recently have I found those in the industry I've come to overtly admire and try to emulate. A goal of sorts.
I was a bit sour about not understanding how digital coloring works despite having been taught traditionally how to paint. I was flustered. It doesn't seem to translate; and a few bad knocks at university depreciated how I felt about a lot of things.
Bad time=bad state of mind.
Coupled with sleep deprivation, I haven't been in the place of light lately.
I threw on a facade o happy all the time. Even though I do feel unhappiness, I never felt anyone should be bothered with it.
Getting to my point; it doesn't work... Ignoring the fact of you're unhappy. Everyone deserves some type of happiness, and that's why I try to do my best, not rejecting anything I may feel I cannot handle yet. Stress and a bit of guilt and it all compounds.
It feels like a weight you can't surmmount. And it made me unhappy. It stifled my creativity and I ended up running away in my mind; and no one runs forever. You'll tire out eventually, mentally and physically.
I was burned out. And I let it affect me til the point I almost got snuffed out, for good.
It's scary stuff. Thinking: "I almost died today."
i will do my absolute best to be better than I have been, everyone. It's selfish of me to run like I have been! But also, I have to take into account my health now. Please, respect that.
I'll have something positive ready for you all quite soon.
Until next time.

Thursday
Posted 10 years agoGive me some time. Ran into a few snags with how I wanted things to go here. Lots of drawing to be done on Thursday. Maybe a stream if anyone is interested in watching me scribble about.
Hey Hey!
Posted 10 years agoLooking for a good commission? Look no further!

Posted 10 years agoYep. Drawing a lot. Who knows what I'll make? I need to loosen up. It's been a long time!
Announcement!
Posted 10 years agoAs noted by some of you, I have an announcement to make today!
As well as a general update as to what's going on.
First is the update on the commissions!ost are complete, only a few remain,
charizardman - 55% (sketch phase)
334 - 45% (pending for pay)
Also, something cool is in store!
I've teamed up with the awesome to produce a comic!
Thanks to his assistance as colorist and co-writer, we hope this goes well!
After commissions, this will be where most of my energy will be dedicated to.
Expect to see more experimentation with digital painting. I think it's time I put hard effort into it. I'll need your help to keep doing them though! Tell me what I'm getting wrong and if something could be better. I appreciate the comments greatly!
Also, I got a little design game I'd like to do. I'm not gonna explain the rule other than to leave a character ref and a brief personality description.
What is it I have planned? You'll find out if you do it.
Until next time!! Hey!
Posted 10 years agoBig announcement tomorrow!
For some it's already tomorrow... but is this what it means for tomorrow to never come? ><
Okay then. Announcement within a day's time.

Nice! ありがとう To Everyone! Announcement!
Posted 11 years agoWow! Thanks for all the suggestions! I'll give them a go before I start accepting commissionsNovember 22ndHere's what some of you have suggested!
Or rather what they turned into in my head.
-Werewolf in 14th century armor! With griffins, and powers!
Dance party! (Idea became waaay more corrupted in my head, so it got relegated to a thing all by itself. You're a special case.)
Arcanine. (I haven't drawn a pokemon in ages, what have you done to me?)
Snow leopard, with twirls of ribbon all over while holding a cake and tail in mouth! (This one screams "Adult" rating.)
It's true I have to do more backgrounds. You'll see your fill soon enough.
Panther and goat chatting scene. (I had many awesome setup ideas for this one. Should be good background practice and colorful!)Thanks, all of you!
