My new account that you will find me at from now on is ~Metafiction. I posted something new! Yay, encouragement.

Read the boring journal over there and everything before you decide if you want to stick around or not.

I'm going to note everyone that watches me because I know alot of people don't read journals, so sorry if you see this and I note you later and you're all like OMG I KNOOOOOO SHUT UP.

k.

I will move all my crap and inform you all...


...eventually.



Anywho, how is everyone..

Gerard Way, when asked about the Mars Volta:

"Now that's interesting. The Mars Volta is probably the one band out there right now that I feel shares a kinship with us musically. We had already written our album when that EP came out and the things I heard on there sounded to me like we were both going for the same thing. Taking risks, writing seven minute songs with real movement, and the dark aspect of it."



I think I'm going to throw up.

: D

Freaking school. It's taking up all my time to do.....anything.


Don't expect much from me for a long time, drawing-wise atleast. Hopefully I can get myself a good camera and flood you people with pretty pictures from fall.


because i luv fall

Why is there like...zero motivation to improve on here? I browse around and see some..really..really bad artwork on here, and people just comment saying things like "omg u drew diss!?!?" "omg awesomee" "omg its -insert jrock musician- plus fayve yo!"

Quite honestly, I just want to be like, "Hi, -jrock musician- sucks, and this is very bad." Now of course I'd procede to give them a nicely thought out critique but I don't know why I'd bother, this is deviantArt, the "artist" would dismiss the mistakes as their "style" and then they'd go draw another cat shit on their expensive japanese import paper. BCUZ IT R TEH BETTAH.

It just seems like 90% of the people on here never bother to study art. Anatomy/life drawing/color theory/etc. They just..continue to suck, and they don't even care...I don't get it. You're 18, your drawings still lead me to think you're 6, and they haven't improved in a year... really.

I was 13 when I drew this -> [link]
I was 14 when I drew this -> [link]
and this -> [link]

Now, I know they all suck considerably, but I'm sure you will agree that the more recent ones suck much less then the older one.

THAT TOOK NOTHING. I honestly tried really hard for like a month to improve, and I got to that, it wasn't difficult, I just wanted it, I worked for it, and I got it. So the obvious question is why the hell don't people want to work for what they want? Is it just supposed to appear one day? Maybe someday your "natural talent" will shine through? Aha, no. Not really. I suppose the truth is they don't want it, they don't want to get better. They'd rather wait until their shit is considered amazing by other people. That's going to take some time.

The people on conceptart.org know their shit, they don't kid around, they're there to get better and improve, not receive pointless little ass-pats on their crap. (Well some of them are, but they're quick to be put in their place.) I've been lurking around there and realised I'm not even trying...

So lately, since I've realised I actually do want to be a good artist, enough games, I think I'll get BETTER. Every day I've been filling out pages and pages of tedious little gesture drawings, HUNDREDS of ugly little heads, and plenty of other crap that isn't fun, but will be worth it later.

_{One more thing, if you go snooping around on my old account that's fine, but if you remind me how much of a douche bag I was you will be shot.}
