Buhhh.
I dunno what this thing is. It's not art block, per se, it's just... what the fuck am I doing with myself.
OK so I looooove eXiled, right? But no one would know it, because I never talk about it. I never talk about it because it's hard to explain and I don't really know where the story is going. I don't know where the story is going because I keep wanting to do conceptual art instead of any actual writing. I don't do actual writing because I don't really know how. I also don't write because I'm afraid of what it'll come out to be, which will either be too generic or too soap-opera-y and not very plot-driven. And therefore no comics get produced and I have to go on the "HIATUS" stage all the time.
THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING.
So then I tried to work on Elements for the past few months because it has an actual plot, right? Well, I don't really know where the hell that's going either, but I mainly worked on it as an excuse to revamp some characters and do MOAR CONCEPT ART. I SEEM TO BE STUCK IN THIS CONCEPT ART STAGE OR SOMETHING. D:
But hey, you know, on one level that's cool because I know I'm good at concept art and that might be along the lines of a career if animation doesn't work out.
But yeah. I don't really know what's going on. This is making me very frustrated. Plus I don't think my art is really growing. Yes, I am playing around with expressions more, but I think I'm getting stuck in the same expressions, which tend to be along the lines of "exasperated half-lidded line-dot eyes" or similar. And part of me is like, "OMFG I WANT TO BE AS GOOD AS JUBILATIONS AND RYNNAY AND MAKANI LOL" or something. But my expressions never come out as good as theirs, which makes me even MORE frustrated.
Uhghhghhghghghghghhhh. D: D: D:
Well, in other news, umm... yeah. That's it, really.
I had fun hanging out with Shannon and crew tonight. I wish I could have stayed longer. ;_;
