I am full of epic fail!

  • Drinking: Mountain Dew
I haven't updated my DA account in almost a year. That is just sad. I mean yes I'm a horrible procrastinator, but now I feel like a sham of an artist, especially since I lurk around this site almost everyday. My only defense comes in that 2007 kick my ass with one personal crisis after another. May the cosmos grant me a better year this time around or I fear the loss of my sanity.

Anyways, updates will no doubt continue to be few and far between, but I am working on some new stuff which is always a good sign. (It's so nice to have the creative juices flowing again after such a long flatline.) Cosplay is my main creative outlet at the moment as I am attempting to complete some rather ambitious costumes for my skill level in time for A-kon. (It doesn't matter that it's three months away, it doesn't make a world of difference if I don't actually get but in gear.) I'm hoping to do an extremely detailed Sakura-hime from Tsubasa Resevoir Chronicle, and well as an original Wa-loli outfit. God help me because I'll be winging it all the way. >_<

Other than that, I'm gonna try to do some photagraphy this weekend as well as work on some digital paintings and other works-in-progress. These may very well stay WIP for years considering that I have no tablet and coloring by mouse is a major pain in the ass, but they are coming along in their own slow but sure way.

That's all for now. Later.

You're definitely not a sham of an artist for not updating! Heck, things happen, and slogging through those are way more important - we can all wait to see what you have to post :D

Best of luck with your costume!~ I can't wait to see the Sakura one :love:

Sham is harsh, Megan. I consider a casual take on deviantart. Your actions off the net better reflects your devotion to art.

--And I'm envious of the cosplay skills. I typically end up bleeding in any attempts at sewing.

I consider myself a sham not because of lack of posting on DA, but because I don't really do much art these days at all. I feel ashamed of wasting all that time and energy from three years of art school by not continuing on. I know that even that's a bit harsh on myself, but there's this tiny hope I have that maybe such self-reproaching and shame could gode me into actually being productive again. Maybe.

As for the cosplay, that takes more "oops-I-screwed-everything-up-so-let-me-now-try-to-figure-out-how-to-fix-it-without-driving-myself-crazy-ness" than "skills." The seam ripper and I have become closer than I ever would have liked. But still, I love the feeling of the end result and dressing up for cons. It was great when you and Clare did that double-take of me dressed as Gaara. I'm sure you could do it too if you tried hard enough. ^_^
