Making a post after some odd 5 months. I'm now employed and working like I've been wanting to the past couple of years. The job hunt wasn't easy, but I needed to gain a little bit more control over my life. Bought a shiny new Intuos Pro, and I'm in the process of building a brand new computer for my art/gaming endeavors.

Not much else to say, other than I've been practicing my ass off, got shot down by a girl I liked at work and hours for employment are steady. I've also since been in a life drawing class at Spokane Art Supply. I haven't had much time to browse the store but they might have a few things I like in there. I'll have to wait until the next time I go in. -sigh-

Anyway, that's it for now.

Jeez Louise! I haven't posted anything in word form for months! Anyway, there's been a ton of different things happening within that time period that I'll briefly cover some of what's been happening:

- Obviously the release of Pokemon Bank was delayed, and that drove me insane since I wanted to bring all my bros to Gen 6, not to mention my 6IV Ditto that use for breeding--which is piss easy now, btw. Got that taken care of, but in lieu of that driving me up the wall the following happened.

- Discovered my biological dad is alive and kickin'; he's just been under the radar for a long time, but unbeknownst to me he made a LinkedIn page and my mother who was on the same boat with him in Holyloch, Scotland had contacted prior crew members to track him down a month a month before I knew about it. I had made myself known to him and his spouse, which in response I was promptly blocked on my facebook account. He contacted me on my LI page and I responded a few days after receiving a message, believing I was never gonna hear from the man. No response since then, so no skin off my nose.

- I've been devoting a lot of my time to honing my skills as opposed to posting whatever I begin to draw. Focused practice helps tons, but I'm still trying to manage not to overwork or overwhelm myself in the process. I'd say my progress has gained a bit of traction. I've also learned to be confident in what I draw--it may not be where I want in terms of quality and detail, but it'll get there. May will be a solid year I have spent drawing; and a reminder to keep going to increase the possibility of bigger and better things.

- Oh yes, finished my Pokedex in X version, and I breed Pokemon. 'Cuz it's fun.

That's all for now.

Been a couple months since I posted last. Just popping my head in again to show I still walk on this earth.

Just peeking in here again and saying I'm alive. I've been in a real slump lately and I needed to find a reason to kickstart myself again. I blame wanting to play the new Pokemon games for a lot of it, but it was mostly because I was in a shit ton of pain for drawing so much and so hard repeatedly day after day. But I've currently got some things ready that I'm going to post real soon. I'm still coming along, but there are still a few things I have to improve, like porportions, poses, anatomy, perspective, and color theory. But I've got all the time in the world to do so. I am unemployed after all. :/

I'm back here again on national double jenga tower day, surfing DA. Re-reading a few tutorials and researching my craft as I do every now and again. Experimentation is an interesting thing. There are a couple sketches I began in a really high resolution and are looking quite good, except they take forever and a half to finish. I thought some of my work looked grainy as I was doing it. I'm using a really low quality computer at a current screen res of 1024x768 and a canvas size of practically double that...yeah, I don't have a lot of options to work with when I'm broke.
