As anyone has noticed over the past few years, my art flow was doing fairly ok due to being in high school and having the time to either scan artwork in, putting up whatever I've made onto the site and be proud of it, or just drawing whatever shenanigans came to mind.
Within the last year (i would like to say), that flow of creativity came to a halt when it came to uploading. Was I just procrastinating, or feeling self conscious at an age of 22 and seeing YOUNGER artists who have better or more polished work these days that I feel that I should throw in the towel? All and all, these are both correct and incorrect.
Life got ahold of me by the ass. Being in a major like studio art, and going through overwhelming changes in health kept me from making my presence online to be a top priority. I wanted to make sure that I was ok first before putting the Internet and everything else above my own welbeing and kicking myself into gear.
I've never stopped creating works, traditional and digital works, I just never found myself the time to sit down, sort through my hundreds of scattered drawings and compile them into one giant file or finish the actually more polished drawings and sketches.
Due to recent events in my life, being that my art classes have done nothing but slow my time to graduate with little or no actual knowledge, I decided that I'm going to be posting more artwork soon. Hell, with these recent projects, I'm going to be working on some 'work in progress' shots as hell.
To say that I'm well enough to be on Deviantart and making a presense with my art... I'll be honest and say i'm not 100% better yet. But I want to make an effort to say "hey i'm here and doing stuff that I love" instead of having this look like a dead account when life decides to speed up and remind me it's been months since a last update or since i've touched my tablet.
But I want to, for myself at least, get back into a small habit of uploading work when I can. At least a small goal that I can control while the rest of life decides to take me for a crazy ride.

Waiting and exciting 4 Fanime

So, i'm going to try and update more when i have the time to squeeze things in, but for now... I just want to squeal on how super FREAKING happy I am for Fanime this weekend 
I kind of made my own Victini Gijinka cosplay all by myself over the last few months for the con, will be trying to sell some things at the swapmeet if I can (otherwise I'll be selling what I can't on Amazon, or if there's any takers on here too, I'll figure a way to list these all out).
But I'm stoked to see and hang with all my friends and my new adorable teddy of a guy :3
I'll try to sketch and take photos or something over the next week, just so noone's in the dark??
we'll just see
