Hiatus, Tensei, LondonExpo

Journal Entry: Wed May 14, 2008, 8:56 PM
  • Mood:
Okay because I can't sleep right now, even though I couldn't sleep yesterday and was exhausted a while ago, I'm going to pester you guys with a journal.

Yeah, journal, not pic.

La Hiatus

OK. Recently I've been feeling down- call it insanity, manic-depression, stress, whatever- I've had a couple weeks of doubting myself. I'm not confident about my art atall right now, among other things- have been really bad at some points. It's been a combination of stress, not having time to practice my lineart, being exposed to too many super-brats and some of my friends being stupid, but I'm feeling better now *shrug* not entirely, but better.

Anyway due to the majoooorrr feeling down, even dA's been stressing me out. Now as a popular artist, when I post I get a lot of comments, and naturaly because I'm a popular artist, not a perfect one, I get more crit than someone less popular- infact on dA it seems to be- if you suck, nobody crits you, but the less the suck the more crit you get. Anyway it's a pet-peeve (insert 4000 word essay why). Oh yeah and when I say crit, I don't mean the constructive sort, I mean the 'Hi I just read sixty pages and think there's too many rocks here go back and change it now!' sort. Sooooooo long-story short, and much ranting aside, I haven't been enjoying dA ontop of my already stressed/depressed/busy state so you guys haven't been getting any tensei.

Naruto Tensei

Naruto Tensei will have to wait like, two weeks to continue, the last 11 pages don't have their text, so sorry. I would have continued, just, couldn't handle the extra stress.

Oh and for those curious, I have a cunning plan for the color. I muchly enjoy doing lineart, as I said a moment ago it's pretty much vital for my happiness to be able to do it, so anyway I still enjoy doing it more than color (not that coloring isn't fun, it's just way less fun when you can't experiment) Now the cleverness arises in the fact I've had offers, including from someone I trust, to color tensei. If I do open it for coloring, I think I'll assign batches of 10 pages per colorist, assign palettes and even provide lessons and light directions- all in all though it'd be way less work and you guys could still have nearly the same result. I think I'd still color some things though. I'm still thinking about it- there's still a long while to go, but if it arrives at that it's a very plausbile option. When the time comes I'll probably hold sort of auditions for who has the skills / time and then select about three artists. Of course I can't pay, but with exposure like this who wants pay? *wink* Also I've written the entire plot out already and know that some parts will be irresistable to color :heart:

Anyway, so bad news and good news is done there.

Time for some madly good news...

LondonExpo

I was meant to go last year, but due to nonsense with my passport in the last few days my trip got burned... However...

...and I've been planning for just about 5 months so this better not mess up...

I'm going to the MCM expo at excel on the 24th and 25th May- that's just under two weeks from now.

Madly excited? Yes. This'll be my first real expo- I'm not sure the pokemon tournament when I was twelve in a shopping center REALLY counts...

Anyway, yes to going. I'm going to meet 4 of my friends, plus someone else I know from online (and then some) I'm hanging with Jaz-chan in the week up to the event, going to have loads of fun, then meet Meii-teme, her sis, and Wolfie-chan on Friday. I also plan to stalk papercutperfect a little, she's an awesome Cloud cosplayer (emphasis on the awesome).

Ahem... so lets see.

I'm going both days, normal entry. I am going in cosplay (my first time). Infact me and two of my friends consistute a troop- me, 'mother' and 'father'- on saturday only, then we have our own cosplays. I'll explain that after the con, hehh. I might post a cosplay pic or two up here- my costumes are all hand-made, and not by Ebay, I'm just worried that I'm not a good cosplayer. I will post pictures of other people! I'm a little extra reluctant though, I'm a good photographer, I've done it proffesionaly, but to me so much of it doesn't constitute as art- it's less creative and more oppurtunistic.

Anyway- I'm not entering the cosplay competition- I'm not getting on stage, I'm not entering the drawing competition I don't think (I was planning to but I really feel too down right now). I WILL have a lot of fun. I hope to god those orange things aren't there.

My buddies are I are going to go to Wagamama to enjoy some ramen- this might be my first restuarant bought ramen *teary eyes* though I LOVE the stuff and eat it like, dayly. Of course, if Jaz-chan takes me to Wagamama BEFORE the con it'll be my second bowl- or third, or fourth... Bah anyway! We're going to eat out in cosplay, it'll be totally hillarious and incredibly daring. I won't say which Wagamama we're eating at but I am SO excited to the location!

I would enjoy talking to you, if you're going. However, since I'm such a darn prankster I'm not going to tell you who I'm going as, what I look like, where I'm staying or how to find me. Because anyone at the con who knows me is going to have to look- it will be a nice game of 'Where's Wolly?'...

I will however admit to the fact that there are a LOT of blondes in my group of friends. That might be the easiest method to find me =P

If you're going, tell me! If you're staying nearby- that's even cooler, note me with where you're staying, we might be staying at the same place. I promise I won't stalk you- I'm waaaay too busy to stalk you. ^_^

Oh and before I forget--- touching and photographs, if you're insane enough to want to try that, require some sort of permission. If anyone latches onto me from behind I'll probably end up throwing them over my head--- or just falling flat on my face. Either way, somebody's gonna' get hurt.

Anyway, excited, yush... I wonder if I can go to sleep yet? Nah probably not... I'm meant to sleep so I can get an important document today, sigh, that's what caffience's for...

Et al-

I won't have net when there, so don't expect many updates- sorry to Blackbolt for not having beta'd her fic yet, and to my commissioners. I could tell you all the main reason I was busy, but then I'd have to kill you... *actually isn't allowed*

I wish I had a laptop, I'll have so much spare time next week ^^;

I don't know when I'll be back, just at least 2 weeks from now, maybe more, I could end up dragged to the Dickens Festival, since it's on, and used as a lightbulb, not suuure...

Anyway, yeah, that what I up to! Now Excuse me while I fetch some tea~

All good things in life come to those who wait.
Of course, nobody said how long you had to wait

If you run from something, it only stays with you longer.
If you fight something, it only makes you stronger.
~a-lonely:icona-lonely: 15 hours 19 minutes ago
well hopefully you'll feel much better:)

on a more depressing note for me...Wah! i can't draw or do anything art related for that matter HELP ME! (asking not expecting

You wanna know what I've learned in the past few months? Most professional artists doing independent work agree that art is supposed to make you want to doupt yourself and drop it every time you get into a huge project. Its the process that's the most important, and that you don't put it down and keep going.

You could possibly only make a handfull of things that everyone will say are amazing, and have a thousand that could be so-so, but having the picture at the end isn't the important part.

True or not? Hell if I know - I'm still just a lazy-ass senior in highschool. You'll probably be able to tell better than I could, but I haven't yet found any proof from the people waist-deep in the career to discount the statement.

Also: accept that your amazing while you do it, and then accept that it sucks so much when your done that its okay if it gets ruined, or if you have a new idea and go on to replace that amazing thing completely - even if the first is really cool looking.

Hey, you've got this crap coming out of your ears, right? You might as well use it for something.

...That may or may not have made you feel any better, but at least you might be able to let yourself buck up and take it if you know its supposed to hurt. It helps a little bit, anyways. ^^;

Reality, there is always going to be someone better than you at what you do. For instance you are way better than me! I really enjoy watching you, and your work. I aspire to be as good as you one day. Honestly I felt like giving up when seeing all these wonderful talented people on here. My goal now is to be one of them eventually with more practice and going back to school. Heck I have been drawing all my life, and look at some of my work. You're a year younger than I am, and are way better! Please don't feel this way, you are very talented. You have over a million page views that is something to be proud of! Well I hope my words will cheer you up somehow, if not then I suggest getting some rainbow sherbet ice cream. That always helps me.

PLEASE READ THE WHOLE THING. ITS SO DANG TRUE*

1. At least 2 people in this world love you so much they would die for you.

2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.

3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.

4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they dont like you.

5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.

6. You mean the world to someone.

7. If not for you, someone may not be living.

8. You are special and unique.

9. Someone that you dont even know exists loves you.

10. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.

11. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look: you most likely turned your back on the world.

12. When you think you have no chance of getting what you want, you probably wont get it, but if you believe in yourself, probably, sooner or later, you will get it.

13. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.

14. Always tell someone how you feel about them; you will feel much better when they know.

15. If you have a great friend, take the time to let them know that they are great. Add this as a comment to ten of your friends tonight and at midnight your true love will find you. Something good will happen to you at 2:25 tomorrow. Get ready for the biggest shock of your life. Whoever breaks this chain letter will be cursed with 10 relationship problems for the next ten years tag ur it!!!!! send this to 15 ppl in the next 143 min. and then press F6 and your crushes name will appear in big letters!! it works.... but if you break the chain.. you will be cursed w/ relationship problem

Kyuubi: «Don't kill...Naruto. You'll live...to regret it...» > Now, I wonder what he meant by this... In chapter 399 we learned that only Uchiha can control Kyuubi. Will Sasuke be the one to control it once Naruto threatens to release more tails?
