Study the Past Ep 4-Massive Old Art Dump! :3

Do you see how bad I am with this stuff?  

Okay, okay.  I know I've been stalling and taking my time with this.  So I decided to dump whatever old art stuff I could find on my various 1GB-4GB memory cards, flash drives, etc.

My old art stuff varies from photography, sculpture, paint, drawing, ACEO, crochet, you name it.  Some are good, bad, great, meh, but this is me sharing my past work with all of you wonderful people.

Now, I'm not going to post everything here all at once.  So if you want to take a tour of most of my old stuff right now, go ahead and visit my flickr account:


But if you don't feel like it, go later, or just wait for me to post them here.

Or if you are interested in any of my old work, and would like to request any sort of commission, or just want to comment on any of my stuff, leave a comment, or send me a message!

Enjoy!

Talking to Myself Episode 2-Learning, changing, persevering


Don’t worry, I’m still here! :D

Remember!

This is just my opinion, my feelings, my thoughts.  Praise me, judge me, love me, hate me, like me, follow me, get inspired, and or read it just because you’re curious.  Just take it all with a grain of salt! 

Hardships…

After making the decision to self-promote and commit, I find it ironic that things decide to start crashing down.  And at the times that you least expect it, they usually do.  But that technically means that you (in this case, me) let your guard down; you became lax in the work that you’re doing; you got comfortable—too comfortable.

Perseverance…

In this day and age, you can’t necessarily do that (unless you’re one of the lucky ones)—you have to keep moving; to keep going.  Others may berate you and lecture you.  You may have an emotional breakdown or get mad or whatnot… in my opinion, that’s okay.  It’s your very own way of realizing, learning, and accepting the circumstances.  But once you’re done with that; once you accept the very thing you are upset about, move on!  Continue what you were doing!  Don’t stop! The worst thing you can do is give up and never pursue what you want to do for the rest of your life.

Time…and Effort…

All things take time.  Getting what you want in life takes time and effort. Make an effort in everything you do.  Keep yourself busy by being aware of not only your surroundings, but yourself as well.  Don’t get too comfortable! Challenge yourself.  Work your brain. And if people come at you and want to bring you down to their level like a crab in a bucket (go ahead and google crab effect if you don’t know what I mean), don’t let them.  But in time, you will begin to see results.  In time, through your hard work, you will reach the part in life where you want to be.

Simply put: Don’t give up, persevere, believe in yourself, don’t get too comfortable, be consistent, don’t let other’s stop you from what you’re doing, and ultimately conquer whatever it is you want to do in life!

***In other news:  I got my beta key for FFXIV:ARR on Friday morning. Played through Friday and Saturday with my bf.  Amazing.  I had so much fun, despite minor difficult quests here and there.  But other than that I enjoyed it.  I was hoping to play today, but they cut the beta short for this weekend *SAD FACE* WAAAAAHHH :C.  I was hoping to take some screenshots of my character.
More updates on FFXIV:ARR next weekend.  And maybe some screenshots of my character (don’t want to break NDA and get banned for life.  Safety first!)

Talking to Myself Episode 1-Honing my Skills


Took a little trip to the Library.  Time to hit the books!

Just in case you didn't know, I like to consider myself a "Jack of All Trades".  You can see that as a good thing or a bad thing.  For those who don't know, the complete saying/phrase goes: "Jack of All Trades, Master of None."  That's why like the word "generalist".  Doesn't sound as cool, but it feels more fitting.

Anyways, I would like to get better at the things I'm good at (or at least I think I am).  So I stopped by one of my local libraries and went book hunting.  Yeah, yeah, I know what you're thinking: "There's something called Google.  Use it."  And sure, I've used Google, and it helps; but I love books, they're awesome; and there's nothing better than learning and getting information from a good ol' book.

I enjoy photography and I have great cameras that I rarely use. And since I vowed to put more pictures in my blog posts, I figured that becoming more familiar with photography and seeing how/what the professionals do to get the pictures they get.  For now I'm gonna be reading up on some digital photography and digital art (photoshop and whatnot).  

So let's see what I can learn from them!  Hopefully there are some tips and tricks that will make a difference.
