Magnum Opus

I find a problem with working on something that's really awesome.  Is the let down afterwards.  I'll finish a picture that I think is fantastic, that it's the most amazing thing I've done to date.  When I upload it, it just derails and I'm left feeling empty

I've decided that I don't really want to do commissions any longer because it really just takes all the fun out of it. I haven't really drawn much in the past 10 months, which is just as well. I have way more fun drawing what -I- want to draw and what I want to see rather than someone telling me what they want to see. I've also learned not to care what people think so when I do upload something and I only get 10 views I'm not upset.

Failing as a dealer at FC really did open my eyes to such a waste it is to worry about everyone else. Trades are much more fun anyway. :3

If any of this doesn't make any sense, do bear with me. I'm rather drunk right now. ;P

Makes sense to me. I really don't like drawing for other people when they have a very defined idea of what they want... and it's totally not in the same style that I work in.

Most people treat artists as an extension of their own imagination rather than leaving it up to the artists themselves.

Yay alcohol!

I don't think I'd ever be a dealer or go to an artist alley just because I'd rather hang out with other people than be judged by bratty fanbois/gurls.

far, but not leaving.

I wanna tell you something comforting, but I cannot think of anything. And at the same time I don't want to not say anything. So I'll just say I read this and I'm thinking about you.
