One would think that I'd sleep one of these days. Anyway, I'm just dropping a line to keep this thing updated. Day 12 of the challenge has arrived and I will submit the pieces later this week. I decided to try a different medium every week, and this week I'm using digital painting/editing.

On that note, I've been brainwashing myself with video tutorials for all sorts of media: comic illustration, photomanipulation, digital painting, character design, etc. I'll be experimenting a lot come these next few weeks.

The semester is almost at its end, and once it does, I'll be able to finish all these projects I've started on! So expect a crapload of stuff in December-January.

That's about it, really. I'm gonna close my eyes and wait until the sun comes up.

Day 2 of my 30-day challenge has been completed (after several attempts with unsatisfying results) and I will submit the piece later today. Thank goodness the week's over and I can have a little free time. I should be asleep right now. After all, my eyes are begging me to turn off the computer, kill the light, and slumber. I'll do so soon. I'm just contemplating how to be better. And I don't just mean artistically, but mentally, physically, spiritually. I'm listening to too many of these oldies. They're creeping into my mind like earwigs carrying plague. I suppose that's all I can muster to write before I begin rambling.

Hi, let's make this my intro entry.

My description basically says it all, so don't really expect me to go on about myself here. Recently, I was in a terrible self-esteem slump. I hated everything I made, I was jealous and envious of my super-talented associates and friends, and I was resigned to drop my whole desire to be an artist. I eventually broke out of Izanami (Naruto fans will get that one) by kicking my butt out of stupidity. No, I'm not the best, nor do I really aspire to be (I mean, how does one gauge artistic strength in terms of "Who's better?"). I decided I'm going to do what I can and learn from what I did wrong. I was very accustomed to locking my heart up and drew from logic. The few pieces that grabbed the attention of my peers came from places in me I was too afraid to face, so I've decided to embark on a personal journey to "find" my heart again. I'm re-learning how to express my feelings through the infinitely wondrous world of art. I'm not going to worry about how much it will sell, I will instead try to show the world what's really in my soul.

I know this was cheesy, and I realize the hypocrisy of the beginning. It happened. I regret nothing. Anyway, expect more crappy sketches, and horrible experiments, but also be patient. I'm going to get better. I'm going to see what they see in me. Someday, at least.
