Hey everyone, I'm just an artist from Canada trying to make their way through the world. I'm doing my best to improve my artwork and break out of my shell artistically. I have a lot of things that steal my time away, but I'll do my best to have new artwork posted up regularly. =)

Hey everyone!
12 years ago
Hey everybody! Sorry I've been gone. I know some of you guys have really been missing my art. =(
I'll see if I can keep this short: I've been inactive with posting new art for a long time. for various reasons. The biggest one was that I've been busy with college. That ate up a lot of my free time, and it wasn't structured to support 2D artwork. I did more web design than anything in my undergraduate program. x.x I've also had a lot of trouble with posting new artwork unless I was completely happy with the outcome. Since I've been growing gradually more unhappy with my work lately, this has become a problem!
Now that I'm graduated, I really, really want to get better. Things have happened recently that have made me really driven to improving my character artwork, and to make it more appealing overall. I feel my art hasn't improved too much in the last few years. However, if I work hard, I hope I can make up for it!
For the next little while, assuming I can actually stick to my plans this time, expect a ton of character artwork, and not many colored things, or landscapes. I probably will still do them, but just not as often as before. I'm really going to focus on improving my anatomy, poses, and trying things I'm less experienced at like action poses. This means there will be big fluctuations in quality between different postings, depending on how used to the subject I am. But hey, it's better than nothing right? =)
That's all for now. It's hard to believe it's almost been a year and a half since my last journal. x.x Let's hope that doesn't happen again.
Thanks for reading!
