Getting back in to drawing
Hello friendly passerby, it's been 7 years, 11 years since my last journal post. Can I convince you to sit down by my campfire and listen to the tale of a fellow deviantart member?
Ahem...
About a decade ago I decided to get in to art school, and did not have a good time there. I very quickly lost my passion for drawing, though I did not want to admit that to myself at that time. I just didn't enjoy it anymore.
I dropped out after just spending a little bit of time there, and at the time I didn't know I had ADD. Couldn't keep the focus up to manage the high demand of work output.
For the years after that, I drew only a few times a year while finding new directions in life. But the urge to draw never left me completely. After I had one more try at college I discovered that the more I didn't draw the more I felt I was leaving something behind that was very valuable to me. And now that I'm done with college, I feel this disappointment that I let a few bad experiences that didn't even have to do anything with my skill let me go down a road that has nothing to do with who I am as a person, and that makes me feel damn sad.
So you know what? I've been busy going at it again and picking myself up where I left off. I once had this idea to do a comic about Ganondorf, the main bad guy from the Zelda series, and it never progressed past a few concepts while I got intimidated by the scope I had in mind for the story. I figure it would be a good challenge to see if I can produce atleast the opening chapter of that story, and through that process see if I can find the passion again that I left behind years ago, and how far I am able to push myself.
I'm still young in the grand scheme of things and I still want to develop myself as an illustrator, so, LET'S DO THIS, ONE MORE TIME
I've managed to do a storyboard for the opening chapter (might post it sometime), and for the past few weeks I've been doing some concepts of the characters that are in the storyboard, right now I'm trying my hand at a few key environment ideas. Once those are done, the idea is to put these concepts together in a fully illustrated comic. Hope you'll follow me in my journey, gotta be patient though!
About that ganondorf comic idea...
So what I'm saying is. This comic is not coming of the ground untill I find someone willing to color and someone willing to ink atleast, that's all. If anyone of you reading this is interested in helping me out or has suggestions, please let me know.
Oh and btw, my laptop keeps shutting down on its own, my guess is it's overheating. It's why I havent updated in a while :/.... Maybe it got too dusty inside x(
FFing hacked
that I've been sending out spam messages. These messages are obviously not from me but as she suggested, some virus of DA. If a message from me says something like: "FIND YOUR SECRET VALENTINE LOVER I FOUND MINE
CLICK *link* TO FIND YOURS 8DDDD" Don't click! Not that anyone in their right minds would, but still. (no offense to the people who did, sorry haha)
Don't know if changing my pass has solved the problem.
P.S. DEVIL KITTY I'M WORKING ON YOUR CHAR RIGHT NOW. Over 2 months late, but what the heck.
A new year!
So.
First person to reply to this gets to decide which character (maybe even one of your own) I should draw for him or her.
Happeh new year people
So yeah..
Sooo, I've decided to show a page every once in a while, to see if you guys like what I'm doing and to keep myself a little bit more motivated.
Besides, my gallery needs to be updated way more often
