Art thoughts

Sun Aug 23, 2009, 10:35 PM
I went through my favs today and de-faved a bunch of stuff that I thought was pretty but a) don't really think is pretty anymore or b) the artist has moved on and gotten better. And then I looked at some of MY old art... and the stuff I wrote with the deviations. omg. OMG. i was such a pretentious brat! DX How embarassing.

Sometimes I wish I'd gone to college for Art instead of Computer Science. xD I love my college. I like programming just fine (and actually, I venture to say I might be better at it than at drawing), but I never actually realized that art was my passion.

Now I look at my stuff and I look at other people, who dramatically improved in art school... and I just have this wish to know how good I might have been if I'd gone. Y'know? It's sad that all I have the time for now are hour-long sketches.

BUT THEN AGAIN. If I'd gone to art school I'd have missed all my geek jokes and my stupid XKCD shirts. Geesh! What a choice! =P

Tomorrow (today) I'll be helping out in the department showing baby freshmen around. I love showing baby freshmen around. They're so lost... and adorable! <3

Even though I haven't grown an inch in the past two years, they all somehow seem so small. <3 <3 <3

My parents left for home yesterday. I miss them already, but I miss my boyfriend (fiance?) more. Stupid Australia! Why do you have to be so far away? D:

OH WHICH REMINDS ME

I got engaged last month! :3 OMG.

Good works. I love how you use vivid colors in many of your pictures without losing the naturalness of the whole, and how you emphasize the main figure with the background.

I love your personal style. I could not express it correctly, but your works are full of optimism and enthusiasm.

really great galleries!

I found you through your online comic: Catalyst, which is fantastic by the way. Your art is so beautiful and expressive. ^__^

Critics will grumble. Of course they will. That's one of the functions of critics. As an artist it's your job to give them ulcers, and perhaps even something to get apoplectic about. -- Neil Gaiman

Well, I don't usually do art trades... I already draw whatever I want to draw, so I can't think of anything for anyone else to draw for me, right?

But I DO do commissions for people, and the link for that is here:

Hey, I saw your fanart of Bumper on the Dominic Deegan comic, and it was awesome. Your art here is fantastic, too ^_^
