Thanks for commenting, and I apologize for my delay in response. I just spent a few minutes here and there over the course of a couple weeks going through the thousands of pictures and notes in my box. I fully intend to properly update this page as soon as feasibly possible.

Thanks for watching, and I do apologize for my absence---if you've read any of my journals (here, or especially LiveJournal) you'll know I had a bad year where I stood my ground despite a lot of adversity---but accomplished little artwork or writing.

For me, Yahoo Answers was a brainless refuge for me during a time I was severely burned out and needed an Internet diversion. I quickly realized Yahoo answers sucks donkey cock, to put it very mildly. So hen I sensed I was nearing suspension, I decided there and then to not make another Y!A account. After all, I'd simply be suspended again. And it's a shame seeing people like "Buk" putting obvious time and effort into brilliant-yet-violating Y!A stuff. all that brilliant wit got deleted, the user got suspended, and in essence the Buk person is spinning his wheels, putting lots of creative energy that completely goes to waste. And there's many other people like him, of course, mindlessly addicted to a really shitty website when there are many better options easily available. What a shame.

Yahoo Answers is quite possibly the worst website I have ever been on, and though I still visit Y!A (which is why the suspended PaulyDragon account is still gaining points!) I've moved on.

I am looking forward to being more active, more productive on dA and places like Elfwood and LiveJournal, than I have been in quite a while. Time will tell---I can't imagine 2008 being worse for me than 2007, so hopefully less worries and anxiety will be converted into lots more art!

Thanks again :3

Sure you are welcome and I wish you luck for this year , I still go to YA! like once every two weeks or so but very rarely. I can relate to having a bad year....let's just say these last two years were the worst I've had in my entire life...so many things happened s Im glad its 08 now..I think I can finally start moving on as well. I hope to see more of your artwork in the future then

Little heads-up for people who may be watching:

I don't do chain letters, DA-tags, and such. I honestly don't have time for this stuff, and it can be very annoying. Please don't be offended when I don't "tag" you back.

Why, you say?

Ask yourself: do you REALLY have that much free time on your hands?

I should probably have it done shortly after Easter weekend. Between family, work (I work the night shift, and also on holidays and weekends!) and the rest, I have to manage my time accordingly.Right now it's about 30% colored, and I'll be uploading a batch of stuff to dA (and submitting to Elfwood, as well) when I get it here

My computer died :/

Right now I am using a vastly inferior laptop computer I never meant to use online for extended periods. (I use it mostly for writing!) I am waiting rather impatiently for the new tower to come. Also, my real-life situation is more complicated than I care to admit.

Much more about it here, in a bunch of recent entries:

I've yet to get the time to take serious lessons. No money, no time, and I'm comfortable with my basic style though I'd definitely like to diversify media, and improve overall techniques. I never have more than a few minutes a day to draw o_O

Hi Paul,
I wanted to echo Andrei's comments- since I last saw your work it's improved a TON. Also I wanted to thank you for the favs! Thankyou.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

PaulDoyle In reply to donnaquinn [2007-05-02 11:51:57 +0000 UTC]

Thank you, and you are quite welcome I do think I have improved, although I'm by far my own worst critic, and nitpick my own stuff like you wouldn't believe. I also get down on myself because I haven't gotten to where I really want to be. I have a very crazy real-life schedule that deeply limits my artistic time and growth. (Night shift hours with no normal weekends---ironically, I see more of my son that way, than I would if I worked during the weird noon to eight "day" shift hours!) I've only been drawing actively since my mother passed on at the end of June '03, and I try as hard as I can to continuously improve. If I ever become a famous, independently wealthy writer, I will be sure to take real art classes, and seriously upgrade my tools and (of course) my output.

In spite of a currently miserable real-life situation (severe money problems and communications problems are warranting marriage counseling even though Kathy and I love each other so much it's silly), I'm trying to keep my chin up and get somewhere in life doing something I really enjoy. Supervising at a casino is nice, yes, because it keeps me on earth, but I am getting restless and antsy at getting somewhere this year with the book and all. (I have a database of publishers---now I need to select the right one to query first.)

Anyhow, please continue creating that amazing artwork of yours, and I will most certainly continue to visit
