Walent's sketchbook

[walent]

That's a bummer. For dozens of reasons. There are members (me included) who look forward to seeing your new stuff; may it be sketches, studies or just musings. A lot of insights; a lot of brutally inspiring craft and work habit..

Never said thanks for those little moments before; and this is probably a good time saying so.

So thanks. And looking forward to whatever your next thing will be.

hey man, thanks a lot, it feels amazing to come back here and read stuff like that. And you're totally welcome!

I don't know what happened last month, but it slowly turned into a break, reaching as little as a few hours of painting per week. I also lost a project I was working on for Chaosium, maybe the most serious one I had so far, they just stopped responding to my emails. That didn't really help with my morale.

I gotta get back to posting stuff. I did manage to push myself to finish that gladiator, or at least to get it close to a finished stage, but it actually felt pretty dull. I don't know why. I would've probably felt much more excitement from a random spontaneous quick sketch.

I just saw someone post a pig anthro today and I just couldn't stop painting for 3 hours. That has to tell me something.
I need motivation big time.

I decided I'm gonna go slow. Try getting my sketches more refined, more finished. Maybe spend hours on polishing them. Continue working on poses and at the same time study clothing and stuff. I'm probably gonna start with fur.
And then I'll go back to focusing on color and rendering. I'm predicting I need one more month for this.

I really have no idea where I'm heading, but I know what I love doing and I'm gonna keep at it.

Yeah, break's over!
