blazingRAIN

So yesterday was my hometowns first 'anime' ish convention which she called more of a komickon due to the just general diversity it had.  We had gaming system tournaments, which seemed the most successful, as well as some car tournaments, mainly Magic.  We had guest speakers and majority of my friends, myself included at least gave some sort of talk on something.  As we were, though mainly Everfire, was the one that started this whole thing.  There was even an artiest alley, which included, and few others that are also here on deviant art (I too lazy to worry about links)

The turn out wasn't exactly what we were all hoping for I think, but still people game, people watched and some in fact did buy stuff.  I for the first time sold my art, something both amazing and nerve-racking.  These were only prints and not originals, it was still awesome and sort of scary.  However, the price to print them all was gut wrenching really and I had hope to sell more, but as the turn out wasn't as great, I have many prints left over and a lot of ground to over.

So I have more prints to sell (hopefully)   

I even thought about selling them here on deivantart, but seeing the amount of profit I would get for some of the prints...wasn't exactly helpful.  So now I'm still left with prints to sell, which eventually will either be given as gifts as they are on nice glossy photo paper, or gradually sold here and there.  The first experience of selling my work was awesome, and I'm grateful to those that bought some.   But there always other ways to get them out there.  Not to mention there's rumors of us doing a Halloween Kon in October, which would be kewl

So I bid you all good day, and thank you fore reading my ranty ish whining journal.

My digital coloring...sucks.

I finally managed to get my tablet back to my dorm room at college.  I kept forgetting it at home since last Thanksgiving so I haven't had the chance to work  with  it.   But now that I have it, I am finding that I have a lot of work to do. My coloring is bad to put it mildly.  Nothing seems to come out right and I'm disappointed in it.  My Abel picture being the only real picture that was good.  So I've decided to work more on my digital art when I can get the chance to do so.  I have line art of my own to work on of course, but it takes forever for me to do line hart, plus my scanner is down.  Sot it doesn't exactly spell out the best way for me to practice some of my skills.  I can do the line art digitally as well  which isn't bad either  but I thought it would be good to  separate the two of them...focus on one rather then the other.  And as a college student I'm a busy little bee.  

So to my close friends, you got line art, I'll color it for youz! I may see if  I can color other people's art  as well, of course with their permission and crediting them.  

(short journal entry is short)

ART BLOCK SUCKS HARDCORE

Never had it this bad before...it sucks so bad.  Everything I draw doesn't come out at all like I want it to.  So many ideas run around in my head but when I try put them on paper...it just an epic fail!

Ever since I manage to draw a picture that is very different from my normal style of drawing, as a gift for my mother, I haven't been able to draw anything successful since.  I went to doodling and it still turns out as crap! With finals coming up I really don't have time to draw but drawing is such a great stress relief...that its depressing not being able to do it.  

Guess I just have to push through it...keep doodling, keep forcing myself to draw SOMETHING in the hope that inspiration and my hand decide to come together and cooperated again *glares at and*.  

Maybe when I go back home for break and work on my ideas for watercolor, it'll all come back to me...hope so, because its depressing not being able to draw something.  I haven't had art-block since...well...I can't remember the last time
