--its like the michelangelo thing. i dont thing he cared about the bible too much, there just happened to be a market for that shit xD

--Yeah don't delete stuff. I've got heaps, but don't exactly obsess over them. They're handy to have.

--Gotta not overthink things man.. it doesn't help.. just go paint or draw something you enjoy doing, forget about the 'shoulda coulda woulda' right now

--So? Do you like fantasy and sci-fi to look at? If so, keep it, it's not doing any harm, if you don't actually /like/ it, by all means

--yeh, ive never tried to copy a style anyway, but almost everything in there is fantasy/sci fi

--That's actually an interesting thing to say Amit.. I've been getting a little overwhelmed by all the conflicting advice, I might do a bit of that stepping back too.

--That's why I find listening to too many of these talks by professionals can become red herrings if you aren't careful. At some point, you have to tune it all out and figure it out for yourself

--You gotta feel it out...listen to what you want to do, not what others say. Direction is about instinct first...

--mhh yeah i feel like ive come to terms with that thing already. as i said what bothers me about myself right now is not the quality, but the direction
