Kind of a self update! Because I feel bad for leaving you guys in the dark, since you all have been the best people in the world that I wish I could hug! >X<
So, yeah! I've been kind of frozen lately, and it's been sort of hard trying to figure out why and how to fix it. I think I've started to lose a bit of confidence in my self in regard to making art lately. >A< When I try to do art I feel sad for not doing bionoid, and when I try to do bionoid I get sort of overwhelmed with self-doubt. Leaving me sort of stuck in this spot that goes nowhere. This isn't the first time this has happened, so maybe it will be easier to find a way out of it this time.
Thank you guys so much for supporting. I know I'm not the most talkative of artists on deviantart, or the most updatiest lately.
I don't like to share my problems often, but I thought you guys deserve to know since it's been like a WHOLE MONTH since I updated bionoid and I feel like every week it gets worse if I don't say anything.
You guys are da bomb.

When I was getting my B.F.A .in Painting, my mom told me something that her professors told her when she was in art school. She said that even when you're a professional, only 1 out of 3 paintings turns out the way you want it to. The other paintings might be made into something great that you weren't expecting, or they might just fail miserably. But that's fine, because that's the way it works. I really liked that--it took the pressure off of me to make a fantastic painting every time.
I'm currently making my own comic (though none of it is on the web yet, I'm not going to start posting until May), and some of my comic work is coming out quite rough. I'm been forming and reforming this story for 6 years now, and I almost feel like I owe excellence to these characters I've walked with for so long. But I keep on trying to remember that only 1 out of 3 pages is going to come out the way I want/expect it to, and that will also be the case years from now when I'm very experienced at making comics. I'm also used to doing paintings from life or good reference, and my comic pages aren't coming out as good as my paintings from life. It can be discouraging, but I know this is my first serious foray into comic making and the work will reflect that. I don't know if you can identify with any of that, but I thought I'd throw it out there anyways.
Your work is great, especially for a student who is doing art school full-time. I graduated from art school 2 years ago, but I remember being an art student vividly. I felt like I was sprinting full tilt ALL the time, and only with 6 hours or less of sleep. I was always either working or scrambling on to the next thing I had to get to. I've been impressed that you've been able to do so much of your own work--and such high quality work--as you have while completing school. You have a lot of talent, a lot of skill earned from hours upon hours of hard work, and great ideas. Not only that, you've been able to implement those while doing a lot of classwork. You're doing great. And even if your work doesn't always meet your expectations, that's okay. We'll still love it, and you'll learn from it.
I'm excited to see the next part of Bionid, but don't worry, you can take as much time as you need to finish each part. We'll still be here, waiting happily!
