Well THAT was a shitty memorial day.
Colorless,overcast, not-quite-drizzle but not-quite fog, noone around and nothing to do but barbecue angrily alone in the rain and curse the sky gods.
At least friday's Drac's Ball was good. I always appreciate being hit on, my inner man-whore needs the attention once in a while. I found Brian again, so he knows I still love him even after he fucked up my concert plans. I even did his lipstick!
In other news (and avoiding politics and world events entirely lest i end up climbing a book repository with a rifle) I somehow managed to get my scanner to work with linux! I may start posting my work on occasion, especially if I get good feedback from some talented professionals. I really should be investing more time into my creative endeavors. I still treat it like a hobby, partially due to my fear that noone would ever give my work a second look unless I had college credentials. Well, I WANTED college credentials. But my parents decided to instead send my sister (950 combined SAT) instead of myself (1400 combined SAT), so that she could be doing what she's doing now and making less money than I do working at a nuthouse.
I really need more confidence in my work. I've done high school yearbook covers, some interior illustrations, some tattoo flash, won a few contests at gaming cons for my character designs, but still haven't managed to make enough cash to inspire a huge career shift. My fear of computer graphic-stuff needs to go too, it's held me back for years. I'm starting to realize that my creative talent is more than just a steady hand with long,graceful fingers. I have a nice hand, let's all just admit that and move on.
So if I figure out how to stick my character designs up here, all I ask is that people with any input be honest. Brutally honest, even. If I can survive USMC boot camp I can handle constructive criticism. Oh, and if you rip off my work I'll rip off your jaw. Love to all!
