Good morning =^,^=
It's been quite some time since I last wrote here, even though I've been lurking here from time to time  :tongue:
I hope everyone is as well as you can =^,^=

I basically just have a sore throat now, started up drawing again yesterday! :)
I hope you are getting even better soon, bud =^,^=

@midsummer good to see you round!
as far as goings go, I'm, uh, going :P

just started my easter break so I've got 3+ weeks off to do extra art. I'm hoping to finish planning my manga stories, finish off my throwaway co-op manga with Jrspesh and start my new mega project in full force.

indeed, work's been pretty stressful with exam season, but that's over now so I'm glad for the rest now.

Exam?..  :ohmy:
now so are you scaring me, bud...
sounds like school, and school is no place I want to return to anytime soon... =~,~;=
And it sounds like I'll need to escape from words like that... Japan might be good... and I'll leave on Wednesday  :dance:
And I hopes to get some writing done, or much of it....  :push:

ahh, I see... then it sounds slightly safer  :clapping:

Yesh, I'll head to Japan =^,^=
will enjoy every second in akhibara, after two years of not being able to go there...
If you ever would go there, so can I suggest you go during the spring (march-april) when the sakura is blossoming :D
so can you join me, and take a beer under the trees  :biggrin:

a comic is a great idea!
and it will really boost your confidence and skill, at least it did for me :P
you will always want to get better before doing a large project but no matter how good you get you'll probably always feel that way, so it's good to get stuck in and throw yourself in the deep end, it'll be worth it in the long run.
a one-shot or short story is a nice project which doesn't take too long if you do a bit every day.

as for me I've finally bought myself a good pair of running shoes and went for my first jog in them this morning. they really make a difference from my cheap pair and so I'm hoping this will be a new era of fitness and health for me

@Slammy: gotta take the plunge sometime. What kind of format are you thinking?

@Suuper: nothing like the new shoe feel. What kind of shoe did you get? Something traditional or something a little more out there? I only ask because I run in barefoot shoes personally.

Will review stories upon request. My latest arc: http://goo.gl/KYgsfF

I got a normal (?) pair of medium priced Adidas trainers I think, called "boost" something or other. Nothing crazy amazing about them but the support/padding/etc when running and walking makes it super comfortable. I saw them first because of the colour and price, they were reduced and were a nice grey and black combo.
I always wonder when things are reduced does that mean they aren't worth the full price (because noone has been buying them), but I'm not going to spend hours finding the best quality for price in the first place. And they're good so no problem anyway. And I know nothing about trainers in the first place to judge them other than trying them out :P
Far too many brands of shoes these days, same as cars and PCs :P

also unrelated but I went indoor climbing with some friends for the first time. was incredibly fun but my muscles were killing me for days afterwards. definitely would love to do something similar. possibly one of the biggest workouts I have ever done even for just the one hour.
it wasn't bouldering although that would have been just as fun, but each wall was themed differently like tetris or whatever (climbing tetris pieces was pretty cool)

suddenly feeling annoyed at my lack of art progress lately, I'm not really hitting a wall or anything but I'm once again seeing the vast chasm between my skill and the skill that I desire, and thinking "wow that's rather a large chasm"

I think I need to change up some of my projects to expand the range of skills that I'm trying to develop, especially backgrounds and painting-style artworks. Working from photos is probably going to help a lot as well in gaining more realistic abilities, even if I apply that to a stylized art-style.

i do have a fair number of ideas on attacking my weak areas so not sure why i'm feeling down, maybe cos I felt that I had made some progress recently, but it's still small in comparison to the overall journey. while any progress is great I'd like to arrive at my destination before I die of old age, you know?

”The more I learn, the more I realise how much I don’t know.”

Just do what you can my dude, progress as much as you can, and try to find satisfaction in the improvement you do make. Realise your expectations of yourself have to be reasonable…
