Whoa! <3 you guys!
kerm - Mwahah! It is... it isssss! But seriously, thanks for the tip kerm! Definitely looks a lot more presentable than what it was originally.
ramalooke - thank youuuu ramalooke! 'Though, now I really don't like this piece :/ and yeah I agree! Could-a, would-a, should-a spent more time on dem fingers... always next time D: thanks for dropping by!
Jarrad - Nothing beats Mean Girls ;) hmm, yeah, every now and then. And I agree... it's usually those longer studies and pieces that I learn a butt-tonne from, though - I feel sketches are just as important as finished pieces.
As Anthony Jones said in his livestream today: there's a lot more practise that goes into learning how to do something in art, but you only need so much time to demonstrate what you've learned. For example, a soccer player would practise 3hrs before a game, but only play for 1.5hrs. Anyways haha, thank you for the comment :D
mrjovi - one day... one day haha. Thank you mrjovi, awesome of you to have swung by my dA... even though I never update it :3
grohn - Ooh, wonderful advice, I noticed my colours were muddy, though I couldn't understand why considering the colour temperature was more controlled; forgot that values account for muddy colours too :P so thanks! By that time though - I'd already given up on it haha... she had became worms meal mwahah!
Tygerson - Thanks Tygerson! Means a lot to hear that. Kinda wish I stuck to it and reeealllyyy finished it, instead of half-assing it once again D:
aks9 -Thanks man and will do <3!
Fedodika - omfg you're
THE FUNNIEST DUDE I'VE MET ON THESE FORUMS, FEDODIKA auheuhauehahaha, but yes. I wish I could as well o_O
much lab xoxo
eclip-se - ah man, I wish D: so much I need to work on, I feel dizzy when I think about it haha so I need to keep fighting in the dark... but thank you! And thanks for the comment over on dA <3 Hmm, just keep fighting man, you're already killing it! Think about it like you're playing a strategy game... lots of thinking involved to take out each target ;D
Warburton - Haha thank you muchly Warburton <: your sb is so awesome, damn!
Not much to show at all! Literally a pile of junk and nothing more
Since that last piece, I burned out sooooo badly. So all of these drawings and sketches are literally doodles and poops - just me trying to overcome it.
So, practising new things, watching movies, watching let's plays on YouTube, exercising more, reading... oh and a particular novel I got from a Kris Kringle - thank you again, butt king! - it's called
Prince of Thorns, I highly recommend it, it's frickin' awesome!! Aaand yeah, that all helped with breaking through it :D
Plus, December is so damned busy for me! Spirit of giving and whatnot, right? I can't seem to just sit down and focus on one thing without being interrupted/thinking about what I have to do in the near-future, etc.
Anyways, here's the poop I pooped:
Ergrrghg. Just looking at the above makes me want to work harder!
In other news: holy crap it's already December 23rd
HAHA wow
I already know what one of my New Year's res' is gonna be - I'm gonna do a robogabo and post daily in my sketchbook again no matter what and see how that goes (which will be especially easier when I have an SD card on my phone in case I'm outta town).
But yas, not sure if I'll be able to update 'til Jan 1st... all of the celebration...
(tomorrow I'm headed to family for Christmas, getting back home a couple of days after Christmas, then packing bags and headed to the beach to celebrate New Year's with friends from the 28th-2nd of Jan)
so, brace yourselves for a whole lotta

1 year down.
This year has been the quickest year of my life; a year filled with sososo much happiness and... of course with some regret on the side - leaving some friends, etc - it's so bittersweet. But even though I've lost some, I've gained some. I've met some a-may-zing people here in CD who have helped keep me motivated and inspired daily. You guys are awesome, thanks for swinging by my sb and kicking my butt, it's muchly appreciated :D
Studying art proves to be a hard discipline to manage at times - but oh so rewarding.
And finding my passion again after years of coasting in nothingness... I wouldn't give it up for anything.
Words can't describe my feelings about 2013. I've changed so much as a person - from my work ethic, to my lifestyle, to my view of the world.
So yeah, hope each of you have Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
I'll see you guys on the other side :') thanks for everything so far, CD
</corny>
tl;dr
Merry Christmas and a Happy, happy New Year to all my fellow daggers <3 <3
