Well, last time I wrote here I was ranting (or rambling incessantly without direction, take your pick) about my total lack of drive to even take out my sketch book. I'm hoping that with FA coming back online, and this fresh wave of submissions and messages I'll find what I need to get myself going.
Tomorrow I'm heading out for a nice bike ride across Denver, visiting various friends and attending one of the local meets (shout out to anyone who attends Denver Fursuit Construction at Fritz and Free's), and wandering off to chill with some local furs for the weekend. I'll have a whole lot less life stuff and people nagging me and such, and I'm taking my sketchbook with me, so I'm hoping with the fresh air (and a good number of rather attractive local furs to use as figure models =D) I'll be able to put something down on paper. Wish me luck, eh? cuz... I'm gonna need it >_>.
I'll be around, lost and wandering, as is the norm. Take care, my fuzzy friends.

Soooooooo yeah. In this nice month long span of FA being down and being unable to actually post anything, one would think I'd be buckling down, nose to the sketchpad, doodling away, yes? Lawl ....yeah ok. I don't think I've even taken my sketchbook out since I moved. OH YEAH!! I moved, which is part of the reason I've done absolutely nothing creative for weeks. Hellooooo beautiful Denver =3. Now most of my day is spent a) looking for work, b) hooking up with local friends and doing that whole 'social' thing (*pulls a face*), or c) getting ..... drunk >_> (I'm totally 21, stfu). I'd love to add other things to that list, but they aren't all that pg and ...also aren't all that true >_>.
ANYWAY! =3 I've got some nice job prospects lined up that just might make my twisted up, ass backwards life a whole lot easier (and simpler. god bless simplicity =D), so I will have that whole 'time' thing to do that whole 'creative' thing. 'n stuff. Along with the drinking and socializing and other unmentionables. (This is why Erro (yes, 3rd person thingy, leave me alone) doesn't post in journals at 2 in the morning. Or... at all, ever, just cuz... you get the point).
So, I do have some shit bouncing around in my head. Most of it is music, actually, I really need to get some gear so I can start playing, and get used to actually touching an instrument, again. Some artsy things (a few specifics, that I reaaaaally want to see become finished pieces) floating around in that void between my ears too, so meh, maybe sometime before the end of the month all you friendly neighborhood art-stalkers might see some shit pop up in here. This is... granted that FA continues to work, now that its up, and doesn't join the list of things I need to set on fire.
I think this incessant rambling is a good indication that its waaaaaay too fucking late at night for the insufficient amount of caffeine in my system, so I'm off for some tooth-rotting goodness (and some food, for that matter, since with all this busy running around I tend to forget to eat). I'll be around somewhere, wandering and lost, as usual. For now, I'll leave this journal as my part in abusing the newly arrived FA servers with "ZOMFG ITS ALIVE" spam. Peace, fuzziez =3

Quick edit to my journal. Still not used to using this page for my own art, I just recently discovered that 'latest submission' is only pulled from gallery, so I will be posting my newest stuff to my gallery, and moving it from there to my scraps when I come out with newer stuff. Again, please feel free to critique, I want to know what people are thinking.

So its been a few days since my last scrap submission. Yes, I am putting everything in my scraps for now, I am reserving my gallery for complete, finished pieces as my artist portfolio. I don't expect to post anything to it for a good bit still, but that day will come. In the meantime, I will be posting everything I deem decent enough for public viewing, in hopes of criticism and such.
I have sketched a few things in the last few days, not much though, but what doodlings have come from the end of my pencil into my sketchbook have been less than worthy, in my eyes. I suppose I can pin that on the stress of my recent situation. I haven't had much drive to do anything at all recently, its been a lot of blankly staring at a clean page while my thoughts wander to things like finances, career, housing, etc. Hopefully a lot of the mess I am in will be cleared up soon, and with that off my chest I will be able to function a bit better.
Today I went down to the local blood plasma center in town. My current roommate directed me to it as a source of a bit of extra pocket cash. I suppose its something to feel good about too, adding to the stock of much needed medical resources. While I was there, I got to sit for a good while with a needle in my arm, listening to the pump drone next to me while I stare again at my sketchbook. I took a certain interest in the anatomy of my own hand while I was there, and since that particular body part has been sadly lacking in my sketches, I took a while to lay down all the detail of the extremity. Its in my scraps, waiting for comments and criticisms. They are welcome, I eagerly anticipate hearing what others think of my budding artistic skills.
Still, my profile is quite blank. I have a good few things to do currently, toying around with IRC clients currently, as well as attempting to finish up a few of my Second Life projects to get them done with. Good god, so many things I've been sitting and staring at that still need doing. Feh, all will come in time, eh? Still here guys, I will keep posting as I come out with more. Enjoy

Well, I've had this page for the longest time now, I suppose its about time I start using it for something. In the recent changes in my life. I've decided that I want to take another shot at the mighty world of furry art. So now, once again, I'm picking up the sketchbook and sharpening my pencils. This time, I hope, it will stick. I'm not sure exactly what it was, but somewhere between my first con experience at Rocky Mountain Fur Con, meeting Dark Natasha, Iron Badger, Blotch, and other talented folk, and my more recent addiction to Immelmann's Concession comic, I've reacquired my lust for art. With this new career change, and a good deal more time on my paws than ever before, I am committing myself to doing it right this time. Soon I will be filling my new sketchbook, creating a real FA profile for myself, and practicing my art until my paws bleed. It's time this wolf turns over a new leaf.

Cheers, to new beginnings!
