I found a blank notebook just chilling out in my locker today so I decided to start carrying it with me so that if I ever feel motivated to write something I an do so in during study hall or something.


Did a Shinigami start following you around shortly afterwards?

Please someone get this reference, or I just might cry... :blush:

CT: C'mon Shannon, you can do this...you have it ALL set up; why are you stalling?! :mad:
 
Ebay Best Offers are basically tight-fisted sellers who want to quibble over a few pence. The item is marked at 7.99 or best offer. So I offer £6.00 - she counter-offers with 7.25

Really? I mean, are you serious? First off, you have about 40 in stock so it's not like you're going under if someone offers a couple of quid less than the asking price and second...how is knocking 74p off the price a decent counter-offer? I could understand it if the item was, say, a tenner and I offered a fiver - by all means, haggle away with me and we'll reach a mutually agreeable price. But when it's a few pennies, it just seems petty and more hassle then it's worth.
 
It's Official: You haven't given up, you're just going to take a short break to regroup and then you shall be drawing again. Of course you can do it and it would be such a shame to give up. So as your Admin, I expressly forbid it. Yes, it's a gross abuse of power but there ya go.

So you're not allowed to quit - it's the law. Nobody here is allowed to quit anything like art or writing or music or other creativity because of lack of confidence or something someone said to make them feel crappy about it. I'll even make it a Forum Rule if I have to :wink:


I like this rule.

VeeBee, don't give up a form of creativity that you obviously derive enjoyment from. I'm betting some ass-hat made you feel less than talented, but screw them, I say. Do the best you possibly can for yourself, and make no apologies to anyone if it doesn't meet "their standards".

If you're anything like the rest of us writers, artists, and musicians-which I'm betting my money you are-then your creative form is the very extension of your soul. Please, never let that go. :)

In a way, I am that ass-hat...
Last year (after the encounter with the troll on DA), it took A LOT for me to pick up a pencil again (I've also said on the forum before about a tutor that I had in Art College who said my work, "didn't look like it was drawn by an art student, and that it was poor").

D: But your drawings are pretty! You shouldn't stop drawing cuz you lost confidence. If you quit because they aren't what you'd like them to be, you won't be able to progress as an artist. *huglz*

I don't feel I can progress anymore. I'm just thinking 'this is it' and there's no point in carrying on.
I'm also doing a lot more 3D model renders, and it's not leaving me with much time to draw. The last thing that I drew was a couple of weeks ago, it was a 'chibi-ish' pic of our last cat and Tilly. Of course (being my creation), I'm not happy with it (to me, I messed up our last cat's markings). I drew it for my mum (as a thank you, she loved Tilly's chibi, but didn't mention anything about the other one).
I also want to try creating different things, but I'm not that confident in my own abilities.
I said to mum about giving up drawing and she got pretty annoyed. She doesn't say that she likes my work, but I end up showing stuff to her (she's not very 'in touch' with her feelings... she's pretty cold).

I don't know if I'm feeling this way because I've just come out the other end of one of my worst 'bouts' of depression... ever. It is an extension of my soul (especially the NiteXVergil thing), but when someone pulls your work to pieces... it's like someone ripping it out (plus, I'm not really feeling 'at one' with myself atm).
Plus, I hate to sound like Vergil, but atm,. I'm really at odds with my soul.

I might just do what Angel said, but if I carry on feeling like this... I don't know what I'll do... Perhaps you WILL have to make it a forum rule lol.

Thank you for the kind words Angel, Rebel, and Shadow. :3

Plus, Deviant art... no one really faves my art, just the stamps (especially the stupid ones)... My most 'favorited' artwork is a stamp... not a drawing... not a render... a stamp :banghead:

CT: I hope my eBay items arrive tomorrow... ¬_¬
 
....even the flowers look sad today.

Ah, well. Life.
