Are we talking real fear, or just stress about not being able to pay bills. That's not fear, that's just stress

I'm telling you hobitt. moving forward with desire and fear is a strong drive, but it can crush you.

16 May 19:54

but it can mess with your head from time to time

16 May 19:54

yeah fear is a great motivator

16 May 19:54

I disagree with Amit. Fear works for me. It's a great fuel! You'd be clinging on your art rope when you know there's a million sharks waiting to feed on your remains when you drop. Haha!

16 May 19:53

You have to in some sense enjoy the struggle and the hard parts and the sacrifice just as much as you enjoy the good stuff

16 May 19:53

well life isint misery but it does get weird at times

16 May 19:52

yeah need practice too though art cannot be passed like information it needs to be practiced

16 May 19:52

It's good to want something and go for it. It's not good to want it so bad, it makes your life a waking misery of guilt and fear

neopatogen

I'm a huge theory lover

16 May 19:51

so yeah thats that i guess had to get it out since this inner conflict has been brewing for years now

16 May 19:50

yeah in a perfect world i would probably learn every bit of art theory

16 May 19:50

Yep Lodratio...I'll give it a go. Didn't want to do the alpha, but the beta might be cool to play with :)

16 May 19:50

but I get your point

16 May 19:49

@Hob Yeah.. I didn't think of that. Haha! I forgot some people love the challenge.

16 May 19:49

well amit, you can always install both versions in parallel.

16 May 19:49

Depends how much you like eating and worrying 24/7 about how that will happen

16 May 19:49

well beats working manual labour i bet

16 May 19:49

Haha! That sounded meaner than it should! I'm sorry!

16 May 19:49

i by like it i ment that i enjoy tackling challanges and learning

16 May 19:49

Btw this whole freelance thing is horrendous. Just so you know....there is no holy grail

16 May 19:48

@Hob There's complacency in comfort. I mean, if you're drawing just to like it.. probably you're trying to do it as a hobby and not work. Not saying that you are...

16 May 19:48

You are litterally fucking yourself in the head...with your own head. That's the poetic version

16 May 19:48

I'm saying it might be because of that fear that you don't have the courage to do things in different ways, and don't find the easy solutions that are presenting themselves to you

16 May 19:48

+ having a shitty job which i want to get out and freelance

16 May 19:47

That will get you burned out and stressed out in no time

16 May 19:47

so i feel i dont deserve to take even a hour out of my day to do something else

16 May 19:47

it's an accepted bug...which I didn't have before even though I was using 8.1 on my now dead laptop. So it's a tradeoff between beta bugs or this annoying bug

16 May 19:46

but like i sed the fear of being mediocre (which i am ) is there

16 May 19:46

Nah I'm using it on win 8.1

16 May 19:46

hhhm, maybe that's just the linux version. I have a problem where it stops recognizing pressure sensitivity when I switch to other tabs for too long, but other than that it's fine.
