I like to call this time of year my Christmas burnout month, lol. The weather is cold, bills gather with expensive wines and jovially plot my death, and my sketchbook screams "damn you woman, put me down, i don't want to contain any more useless filler!!!".
In short, i will be back around daily very soon

How was your holiday season??

ClanLatria In reply to arknypot [2008-01-06 17:43:49 +0000 UTC]

Both fine and weird, it's always a good time to get introspective and reevaluate things about all sort of deep concepts and perspectives. Not that I don't do that the rest of the year, but christmas time is especially good for that.

Been both sick and on vacation so couldn't really draw for a while but eventually that too will pass and I'll get to get back in creative business when I get home. Kind of looking forward to that in a way. Shows me how deep this drawing conditioning is rooted.

arknypot In reply to ClanLatria [2008-01-12 08:28:12 +0000 UTC]

That's why art blocks are so torturous. it's something you have to do, but you just can't do it. I'm like that especially when i'm not feeling well, i'll stare at a blank page in my sketchbook for hours it seems, and just get lost in the blankness... and i've never been a fan of overthinking things, and that tends to happen a lot when you can't get out a creative expression.

I guess it's the same when you don't have time... it starts grating on your soul or something...

ClanLatria In reply to arknypot [2008-01-12 16:13:08 +0000 UTC]

Yeah. I've integrated drawing as a natural function after years of slack and procrastination. Came this point where I figured it out as a mean of expression and exploration and now, I am addicted.
If your sketching block gives you The Glare, you shouldn't let yourself get intimidated by it. After all, not having anything to say is pretty normal, it happens. Just let the batteries recharge and come back eventually when there's something? Who knows. It's supposed to be about release and expression, not stress and oppression, in the end.

Alright, just noticed you Friended me. I was about to pop my "thank you for the favourite" routine, checked my messages again and figured there was no Fav, just one of these friendship balls thrown above the fence, landing in my yard. The fence itself isn't too tall, it's just the yard is vast... and wide... and full of radars and sensors, so, I guess, "Thank you for taking what I can only assume is some sort of liking for me, though I got no idea what I did (or didn't) to warrant that". But I trust you'll tell me. Until then, take sweet care.

I thoroughly enjoy finding artists on DA that explore more traditional artistic values and styles that i haven't explored (such as cell shading). i mean as difficult as it is to draw a dog with hair, i respect the sometimes rare variation.
your art expresses solid anatomy structure, excellent blending; i love the colouring, the exploration of femininity the intensity of the eyes and the range of expression
I like your art, and there's no real way of saying that without sounding like i'm gushing
Keep up the great work darling! you had me at absorption!

ClanLatria In reply to arknypot [2007-12-04 07:26:30 +0000 UTC]

You know you're the second person in a few days that says I'm doing cel shading while in the first place I'd never have thought of considering my art that way. I still have the old first-generation cel shading in mind, with simplistic cartoony colouring and big black outlines. But now that I think about it... I guess the way I try to make my stuff 3d, with the smooth colouring and the visible black outlines, yeah it could just be considered modern cel-shading actually!

Anyways... You enjoy my art, I enjoy my art being enjoyed enough for its appreciators to speak the contents of their mind, emotions, whatever. So flow forth, young lady, never hesitate. And yeah, let's be friends.

For some reason your icon on my Friends listing keeps on showing up with that little red cross over white rectangle like when content won't load... except it does appear over the tiger icon. You know what I mean? So I gotta check back here pretty often to make sure this page is still around and try to find out some sort of rational explanation... Which I doubt I'll actually ever find.

arknypot In reply to ClanLatria [2007-12-06 00:33:07 +0000 UTC]

Hmmm... don't have an explanation for that one... i've seen it before though, it's one of those, mysteries of the universe things... so it'll probably solve itself.
