Long Time No See

Sun May 4, 2008, 7:28 AM
I've never added a pic to my favourites without leaving a comment. Have you? If you like it enough to fav it it's not too much of an effort to tell the artist in words and not just by clicking a button.
When I came here after a long absence my pics got favourited more than 160 times but only got two new comments.

That's not actually what I wanted to say. I feel I have to appologize for being gone for so long. You see, I've had a terrible art-block for, well, years. Every now and then I managed to draw something but that happened more and more rarely. And so for a while I simply didn't feel like comming here.
When I came I was confronted with the ever growing list of pictures from the artists I'm watching. And if I like something I leave a comment. But I didn't feel like leaving comments, especially since my own creativity was pretty much dead. So I only ever looked at a few pic and left the rest for later. And the list grew longer and longer, making my visits to this site more and more scarce. In the end I didn't come here for weeks, dreading the long long list of unwatched pictures that awaited me.

So I've come to decide that if I ever want to return here fully I have to get rid of that list. And I will. I might leave a comment here and there but generally I will erase the pics from my watchlist uncommented. I hope you'll forgive me for that.

Lately I'm drawing again. I have mastered proportions and poses in a way I wasn't able to before and even though my colouring still sucks I have hope again. I'm not going to upload any of my new pics here, though, not even in the scraps gallery. I simply don't want to be accociated with them, not here.
Might be a while before I manage a normal picture again.

Eh, I completely fail at comments *definitely not of the world's natural writers XD* I know what you mean about getting backlog you will never be able to clear. The ole delete button becomes rather tempting *L*

Glad to hear you've doing some art again, even if it's not to be uploaded, and it's nice to hear fom you again :D

:glomp:

Apologies, I've fave'd a couple of your works without commenting.

Mosly because I'm lazy ...

I love your soul Reaver stuff, and being a big Discworld fan too I added a couple of the dictionary ones. Those are brilliant and very funny!! My favorite characters are Otto, Angua and Death though if you ask me in a week it'll probably be someone else!

I love the way you draw Raziel, I dare not even try to draw him since writing him alone has given me the biggest headache! XD

As to getting block, everyone does be it for writing, drawing or RP (I suppose the obvious joke is that right now I'm having work block ... XD). I usually find that focusing on something else for a time will help but everyone is different.

It'll come back, the important thing is not to force it.

Nice to hear you like my stuff!

I\'ve been drawing more recently, even big, coloured oictures, but I won\'t upload them here. I don\'t know how much longer until I get something done that fits in my gallery on DA, but you\'re right - focussing on writing for a few years has made me darw again... Illustrarions for my stories. :p
:iconpilotslover:
Exactly! XD That's how it works.

You find the words when you cannot draw, and draw when you can no longer find your words.

Now if I could do either I'd be fine!! XD
:iconroserosenberg:
It feels good to read something about you ... and your life, even if its not what we all want to hear :)
Still thinking about you, still love you in some way.
I hope you find "it", (whatever it is) that let you draw with love and patience, and let us see some work again here at DA.
