Pass the Mustard, My Shoe's on Fire!

The Guardian - Lineart

Hosted By theOtaku.com.

The much anticipated, and probably underwhelming, piece I've gone on about getting done for the longest time now. In a nutshell, I hated over half of it, so I scrapped what I didn't like and posted what I did. I wish I could have done better, maybe I need to take a complete break from everythign I'm doing and rest up for a bit, just to try to balance my energies a little and be able to tackle the projects I have. I think I'll do that. I don't really have any majorly outstanding projects, so I'll take a week off of any art whatsoever, and see what I can bring to the table when I go after those other overdue projects. A fresh look may be what I need, it can't hurt.

I promised information about the con as it became available, well, Here's an interesting little bit of new info on that. The pieces are finally starting to come together.

I've done that with both writing and drawing, I have a lot of story fragments sitting on my hard drive or on paper, fragments that arent' going anywhere. I think that's my issue, is making myself sit down and do them. Like the novel I'm working on, I made myself write a little in that every week. I still have polishing to do, and maybe one more scene to add, but I'm on a break from that for now.

It's always fun to create.

If the picture turns out better for your having been lazy about it, then it's worth the wait. Me, I just have a wandering mind, I'll start one thing, get distracted by something else, and work on it, then move on to something else and stuff gets left in the lurch. I don't like doing that, because I have all these stagnant projects that I'm going to have to get done so I can really open up my creativity. I'm not the best at keeping goals either, but all we can do is try. I did get the piece as done as I can get it, I hope it ballparked what you were wanting of me, if not, I'll try again after the break I mentioned up there with the pic.

I keep odd hours like that too, only because that's when the good anime is on! Oh well, we can't all be 9-5ers, and who would want to be? I'm unemployed, six years plus now, and I'm not in school either, but I kept odd hours even back when I was in school, so that's just me. I wouldn't go as far as to say we're crazy, a little off base maybe, but not crazy.

I certainly need the luck, thanks.

For me it's the curse of easy amusement, I don't deliberately put things off, I just get distracted by other stuff. Yeah, the Avatar is new, it's a rip from a Yahoo! one I made. I figured it was time to put a human face to this dragon's ill temperment of late.

That makes sense to me, I'm doing that way more than I should. Thanks for the compliment on my art too, I do try, a little.

Well, there it is. Probably not my best work, but it's up there.

Very wise words indeed. I think with a littl patience, and some time management, I'll get everything done efficiently. In fact, I know I will.

"Away and mock the time with fairest show;
False face must hide what the false heart doth know."
-Macbeth Act I Scene VII

I think I'm making the right choice to put down the pencil for a week, just to let myself decompress. Then I'll take a fresh look at the projects I have left and see what I can get out of them. I can certainly appreciate the manuscript reference there, I've got one that's not quite finished yet myself.

Animé Dreams!
