Yo, Hey guys. Nothing much of an update really so I'm going to be quick I guess. 

I'm currently working on a couple of pictures (well I will be soon as it's a request from a friend) and still writing it's just hard to find the right inspiration for everything. Kind of a problem I guess. Finding inspiration and motivation you know? You can have it one second then poof it's gone yanno? I'd like it to stay so I could get stuff done :| but I don't see that happening. I'm not going to keep updating you constantly every day like I used to. Or that's how I felt but some quick words I guess.

I need a new drawing tablet so I might actually draw as I now find it highly awkward to draw with paper and a pencil.

I'm also highly frustrated with my rendering skills not being where I think they could be, but I'm learning I guess. Before I'm told "oh no don't be frustrated they're good!" Yes while YOU think so I DO NOT. I'm glad you think so but I just think it could be better. Especially with skin, but because I need someone to take a few moments and explain it to me I don't think they're ever going to get better as much as I'd like anyways. "Why don't you just ask someone?" Because not everyone is willing to teach some random stranger how to do it, and no I won't befriend someone just to learn that. I'm not like that. If I befriend someone it's because they're cool and I see something I like in them, no other reason. Yes I know I should be happy with where I am but in general I am not. I think my art is awkward. That IS MY opinion though so please don't tell me it's wrong. 

I have slowed down considerably in general as well. I'm trying to get inspiration and keep it but it's hard. Inspiration seems to last five minutes or a split second now.

Leaving a comment on art by the way guys is a great motivator in case no one thought so. 
My fourth anniversary on DA is soon. May 22nd. Trying to figure out something to do for it honestly. Never imagined I'd be on here this long or i'd be doing what I do. So thank you guy very much for the lovely four awkward years.

Guess that's a problem many artists have to deal with... I know exactly what you mean!
No matter how often people tell me how good my cosplays look, I never fully believe them.
I want to do better and better and it frustrates me because it looks like I just can't - at least, that's how I feel.

:hug:
