Hello, my fellow chumps and chumpettes! After a prolonged absence I'm back. I can see you have churned out a large output of awesome creations to catch up on. Looking forward to seeing what y'all have made!
So what's been happening in my life? I've been job hunting for about two and a half months now, which has been, needless to say, a dismal experience.
To rub salt in the wound, my ancient fossil of a computer finally died once and for it. So currently, I have no means to make digital art. At least until I save up enough government welfare to buy a new one.
Luckily, I still have traditional art and a crappy scanner to fall back on. I've even started drawing some Darkwing Duck things again. Hopefully my gallery will be looking less sad and empty soon...
Update
It may seem like I haven't been active in the creative sphere. And perhaps that's a little true (RL, yadda yadda). But I have managed to keep doing a few things here and there in my spare time. Some traditional art (which I don't bother to post on dA). A digital, three-page comic project (progressing so slowly it's almost running backwards).
I've also made attempts to write fic again. By which I mean I wrote down a few plot ideas on a Word document which I am hoping will spontaneously materialise into full-fledged epics. No, I suppose not. Perhaps if I bribed it with umpty candy.
March is certainly a busy and stressful time of year: I hope
Krishna!
I haven't posted art in a while. I have been busy with work and other things and I have been suffering from a lack of energy. I am also at the stage where I am frustrated and embarassed by my lack of skill. So I am in (occasional) practice mode rather than display mode. But I am determined to get something up eventually.
But here's a lame journal entry rambling on about things others couldn't care less about. Well, it's something.
I enjoyed this week's Judge Dredd (despite some problematic aspects of the story). I just wish it was a two-parter (but that's just me). I also liked the art by Mike Dowling, very legible; nice colours.
Inspiring
I'm OK with this.
First off, I don't usually go off on a gabble about my random fandom interests. However, this really tickled my pickle and I can't restrain myself.
As a background, my current obsession is the Judge Dredd comic from 2000 AD (which I only got into properly after the 2012 movie). In a nutshell, love it for its satire and black humour, exquisite worldbuilding, and 'realism' of a sorts (real-time progression, perma-death, actions have long-term consequences).
This is page 1 of the story for next week's issue (prog #1817), by Rob Williams and Mike Dowling. :omfg:
WTF Rob, did my fangirl vibes somehow infect your brain or something? :XD:
Ok, t
Happy 2013
I hope y'all have a good new year and fulfill your new year's resolutions!
My reso is to quit smoking once and for all. Hey, it's an easier and more tangible goal than 'becoming a better person' and all that jazz ;)
