Appropriate. 10 bucks to the first person to guess why.

I do have some stuff in the works, as well as a lot of currently discontinued projects making grumpy faces at me in the background.. -_- I've just been trying to balance a lot of things right now, life and all that. I'm sure no one cares to hear about that though, and you all have probably heard quite enough of it, so I'll spare you the redundancy/tedium/whatever. I'll focus on the relevant stuff, the art stuff.

I've realized that my main sources of frustration are easily conquerable: A) Stop hating yourself for not being as good as you think you should be based on your imagination, B) Stop trying to find a really solid masterpiece-worthy reason to draw and refusing to settle for less, C) JUST DRAW STUFF! Remember when it was fun?!

Thus, a decision has formed, I'll do a couple memes (and maybe create one) to get my juices flowing and get some practice in, as it provides some guidelines that I can casually play with to save me from my wandering and unmeetable imagination on it's own. Seriously, I set the bar too high and get NOTHING done. The stuff I do end up submitting frustrates the hell out of me, cause I feel like it didn't come close to being what I wanted it to be. It's like I'm friggin' constipated in my fingers or something. (Actually, I'm pretty sure it has something to do with my habit of not making huge linearts like I should be. I draw tiny! I can't escape it! And so I have little room to be detailed as a result. I'm curseddd! )

I think I'll accomplish a lot more if I just acknowledge my skill level and push it instead of getting pissed at my skill level and giving up. I should also try to do differently things that I KNOW I'm doing wrong but ignore, like the above. I'm so emo when I try to draw, I swear.

Anyway, I'm sure no one wants to read about some guy they barely know griping to themself publicly, but sometimes I just kinda need to vent it, y'know? And this is my journal after all!

My birthday present to myself will be to get my art together. With this pure moonlight as my company for the rest of the night.


Also, !! Do I gotta pester you?!
