I'm still here.

I uploaded a total of 2 things last year, not including the scraps. I can't promise that this year will be better. But really, it damn well should be.

With any luck I should have another one of those random bursts of skill where things suddenly come out alot better. If I could just concentrate on one image long enough to get it done, rather than skipping around as I have for the last few months of last year. Maybe I'll dump a few semi-finished pieces into scraps sometime soon.

Man, what is up with those ellipses.

Anyway. I've been really failing to convince myself to draw... at least the things I 'should' be working on. So instead, I've decided to try and force myself somewhat back to drawing by making a bunch of sketchy things.

So get on over to scraps and see the 'Guess the Game' sketches... or sketch to start with. As always, who knows how far I will go with it.

... Oh also, 3000 pageviews is just about to happen. This is another one of those times where it might have been nice for me to notice and plan ahead and draw something to celebrate. But who was expecting that really heh. Thanks though, for all you people looking at my stuff.

Hoo boy, has it been a month already? >_>

I just thought I should stop in and say... well, that basicly not much has happened towards my flash work. It's not that I don't want to continue it, but I just haven't hit that mood for drawing and such again in a while (since it was already so scarce before I began this).

Once again, I feel I must say thanks to the people who watch me. It's always encouraging to see people favourite my stuff. I'm sorry that I'm so slow to produce anything and that I generally don't remember to reply to most of the comments people leave (or can't think of anything to say...). I do appreciate it all... and I don't know how many people actually bother to read journals, but if you do I appreciate that too heh.

Guess what guys? I'm still not dead!

Though it has to be said, I've been in a big slump drawing-wise. So where I'd normally get something out in a few months, its now been half a year ish.

But I have a plan.

I'm looking into seeing if I can learn a little bit of flash and make something animated. This of course, relies on wether or not I enjoy that process as to wether anything is ultimately produced. The idea is certainly enticing at the moment. At the very least, I've already done a rough drawing (uploading to scraps momentarily...), and I've already done a few little tests of loops and scripts in flash.

If I end up giving up on the flash, at least I will have a practically finished picture I can polish up, or if I just get bored and need a break from it I do have a couple of other pictures that have made it to rough lineart... so lets see how it goes...

Hey guys, I'm still not dead.

As always I'm back with a single months-to-finish picture, and forever the promise of more. These journals are kinda repetative heh.

Also, it was my birthday a couple of days ago, which was... basicly a non-event. But I don't mind that, I'm happy doing my own thing.

Hooray?

No more random crap from me, its back to my standard topics.

Also, I'd like to say thanks to everyone watching. Just past 150 watchers now, and over 1600 pageviews. I'm sorry if I seem like I don't give out much thanks, I'm just not one for posting too many comments, or not without anything specific to say.

If only I wasn't so slow, I might have planned ahead and done some kind of 'yay x number of watches' picture heh.

Man, I'm in such a slump of non-arting.

So heres a strange upload from me. This was one that I felt reasonably happy to throw down in just a few hours, since naturally I could let anatomical precision slide somewhat.

It's still quite horrible though heh. I let it slide quite alot, and also gave it the laziest shade and highlight job ever. But getting anything out of me was the important step. Hopefully I'll recover from the slump again soon enough and get back to my regular types of content heh.

Just posting to say, yet again, that I'm not dead or anything. If you've watched me for any period of time, you might have worked out by now that there can quite often be several month gaps between uploads. The chance of me getting a picture out for a specific date, like christmas, is pretty damn low heh.

One more thing I feel I must say though...

Heres a note for the art community in general. Even though it won't be relevent for a whole year again:

NOT

Yes, everyone loves that "kiss under the mistletoe" cliche, but at least draw the right damn plant.

I'm back, returning to the land of smut having indulged my need of and updated drawing of myself.

Enjoy.

As soon as I'm done typing this journal out, I'll be uploading. You heard right (... read right?), I'm done with something. Not something that alot of you would maybe have been hoping for though.

Also, to answer the question put to me in the previous 2 journals (sorry about that), no I haven't decided on a name for DL, not least because it hasn't been on my mind. Chances are she'll be back soon enough though.

Yarr.

It's been so long since any art appeared here, you might be forgiven for thinking I had vanished off the face of the planet. But no, I'm still here.

I'm on my way towards getting something done. Really this time. Several sketches and the will to draw again. Give it a week or so... or more. You know how it goes.

Well, I finished the big gift I was working on... unfortunatly it became a parting gift which made it rather more difficult.

Lucky for all you guys, I'm not one for going all emo on everything and drawing 'dark' art or any of that.

Anyway, the whole situation means that there may or may not be anything coming here soon. Its pretty rediculous, but I'm not doing any drawing not because I don't feel like it, but because I Think I shouldn't feel like it. I've always been more logical than emotional and this is the kinda of craziness that results heh.

I still have my eternal list of ideas, so I think it won't really be all that long before something appears here.

Well, yet again I have to say that there is likely to be nothing in terms of updates here for probably a month or so.

I'm busy working on a huge gift for a very close friend... a pretty personal gift really, which is why it won't be making it onto here.

However, as always, I still have plenty of other idea lurking around for once this deadline is passed.

Also, I'll still be lurking to read my messages and MSN as usual; I'm still a lazy, jobless bum... I really should fix that soonish too heh.

Yes indeed.

Thanks to a certain bovine lovely, I've been inspired into action very quickly indeed.

Expect to see something within 2 days.

I'm back with a vengence... or not really.

More like I'm back with one single picture to show for several months of silence. And not even an especially amazing one either.

However, there has still been the normal flow of ideas and unfinished sketches, so I'm fairly sure that I won't be able to hold back from drawing again for too long.

As always, watch this space heh.

Well... I made a journal promising that I would be back before too long.

And I pretty much failed on that promise so far. I've really been wanting to draw recently, I can feel it, but somehow I just can't bring myself to open the program and start.

I've got a sketch down of a fairly decent idea (more of that crazy bondage that comes out of my brain from time to time), but its pretty full of anatomy errors and needs some fixing. Again, I don't want to promise anything really, it could just turn into another unfinished sketch, but I feel like I owe it to the people watching me to get something out up here (especially the few more I gained from fchan).

So once again I say "SOON™". If it comes down to it I might end up uploading a few older unfinished sketches as a stopgap.

I'll be back soon... ish... maybe.

I feel the need to get some drawing type action happening, but it hasn't quite been sufficient yet to pull me away from my usual gaming and the like.

Just the one.

And I have to say, its nothing special. Just the kinda 'meh' that I produce when I'm trying to get back into drawing again.

In the works, well, I have a gift picture I need to finish before March, which will probably take up all that time. So not much will appear here for at least a month and a bit I suspect.

Also in the sketching stages, Quicksilvers reference/description sheet. It may well need reskecthing though, the pose is all stiff and stuff.

Just letting the few of you who may be reading that I am still alive here. I'm in the 'dip' of my will to draw, and the couple of times I have been trying haven't turned out too good. But I'm getting good ideas again, so I suspect I'm on my way to rising from the dip once again.

Watch this space.

Well, I'm feeling pretty good at the moment.

To all the people who watched and favourited my stuff: many thanks. I can't promise that I'll update very much, as always, since my will to draw peaks periodically.

But at the moment I'm feeling pretty good about it, especially finishing a birthday gift picture (not uploaded here) for a friend right on time. There were still the same old problems, but just maybe I've improved a little.

And I think that I still want to draw more soonish, but I have a few other things I need to get out of the way the rest of this week, so I hope the feeling stays long enough.

We'll see...

Well, I'm back. Not quite the promised two weeks, but definatly the promised smut.

As always, don't expect another peep from me for up to another month, but then again you might get lucky.

The cycle continues...

Well, the new harddisc and reinstall of windows is all up and running, the move to my new shared house is still in progress due to the slowness of getting the new house connected to the internets.

But, I did finally finish the picture I owed to a certain someone, which was nice, although I can't actually upload it here (partially my choice).

So, pending the actual connection of the internets to the new house, and then the moving of the computer, I should be back to drawing smut in a week or two. Or something like that.

Had a slight hard disc crash (on my birthday too, making it all the more fun), but I managed to recover everything vital (I think). Obviously, its put a bit of a damper on art since I'm going through the process of getting windows working again how it was, mixed in with moving out into a house with my friend.

I'll be back before too long, I owe certain people certain pictures, long overdue.

I've hit the point in the cycle where I want to draw often again, and suprisingly I'm getting things done in days instead of months.

I wouldnt say that what I am making is my best though, but I've often just had sudden suprises where I seem to improve in one big jolt, so maybe if I keep going I'll hit another.

First off, the gallery is one picture down, removed by request.

On the front of uploading something, well, its all gone really slow as I suspected it would.

My enthusiasm for drawing cycles between quite sever peaks and valleys of activity, hence the 'taking 3 months to finish something' effect. There will be something eventually.

Lastly, a friend pointed out to me that one of my pictures had made it onto fchan. Not sure if I should be kinda happy or worried about that haha.
