Edit: Thank you to those people who were willing to take time out of their day to cheer me up. I get like this a lot, and things like this pop up. Even though I did seriously consider it, only now do I realise what I want to do.
So to be blunt, Natalie... Fuck you.

Given recent... admissions, I am honestly considering on giving up drawing.
Now I know plenty of people do this, and this isn't even the first time I'm saying this, but this time round there's a serious connotation to it, and here's why:

Recently, my girlfriend admitted to the following: I have not improved in my art ever since we've met. And if you want a time-frame for that, that would be about 3.5 years.

I always personally thought that I had made progress, but it seems as though outside perception disagrees... And if I take into account my followers' decreasing interest in my work, it would seem as though many people share the same sentiment. Perhaps I am just a talentless hack who has had the wool pulled over my eyes in believing that what I'm drawing is worth something. Numbers/statistics would suggest that.

Well, what do you think? Think I should quit while I'm... not even ahead? Should I continue to draw and continue to disappoint? Do you actually think I've improved, or do you agree with my girlfriend? Your thoughts would be welcome.

... Oh, and if anyone comments on this ignoring the question and asks for my Steam info (I'm not naming names nor pointing fingers here), I am going to outright ignore you.

Disappointing, I know.

Anyway...

I'm going to keep this short and brief: The Group 10 Robot Masters poster didn't do very well in proportion to the time and effort I spent on it, so I don't think labouring to do another one is worth it. Should I just post the pencil drawings for the other groups directly here instead of spending days-worth of time digitising them? It's be a whole lot faster and will help to show that I'm still doing something.

Unless you think I really ought to inject all my effort into making something like that again. Just letting you know that in the end, the poster made no money (yeah, whoever voted on the poll that I'd get money off of it were dead wrong), and had a meager response.

So, thoughts?

The copy-paste stuff:

For the first 15 people who comment on this journal, I will feature one of their characters. I'll also tell you what I like about them. [I will go to your gallery and pick one character, you don't need to tell me which one].If you comment, please do the same in your journal, putting the tagger (or original journalist) in the first slot. The idea of this is not to get a free feature, it is to spread art around for everyone! I'm looking forward on you!

The features:

1. jasperoura :iconjasperoura:


If any of you know her, you'll know that Jasperoura, aka Nora, has quite a myriad of characters. But my favourite of hers is always going to be Jasper. His design, personality and powers are interesting, and Jasperoura's drawings of him always capture his image perfectly. This image in particular (that I recently favourited) is coloured, shaded, drawn and lighted exceptionally well, and is probably my favourite Jasper art to date ^^

I am so sorry for being gone for so long. Uni life drains a man.
But hopefully in 2014 I'll manage my workload better and be able to upload more stuff for you guys to groan at =P
Either way, I hope you guys have a good holiday and a great 2014!
