Still Alive.

UPDATE: FEB. 22
Man! I am so sorry that I never got that Rauhiss stuff posted any sooner. My laptop died on me shortly after I had posted this journal up, and I lost pretty much everything I had on there, including some random works I was going to post to scraps just to show I wasn't dead.
The good thing now is I should be able to get back in the swing of things. I'm not to fond of using my old programs on my desktop, but I'll try to at least get something up soon of Rauhiss like I said. Also wanted to know what you guys do if you get stuck in an art block. I guess it's not so much an art block, it's just that I can't seem to bring myself to really finish anything I start or have an idea floating around but it just never makes it to paper. I know some people say just to do it, but I feel for me that it makes me work even worse than usual. I might just have to really DO IT.
Oh and another thing! Man dA's new layout and stuff are kind of weird to get used to. LOL I think I looked for about 5 minutes trying to figure out how to get to my journals. XP
Take care everyone! I still think about you!

Hey all!
Wow... was my last time posting a journal really back in 2010?
Anyway, just wanted to pop on here and let people know I'm still alive. Haven't been on here much at all so I got a backlog of messages to look through and get it all weeded down (I get on about once every 3-4 months now). I have been doodling a bit, but haven't really felt any of it was finished enough to post. I hate being one of those people that post every. single. thing. that they do and flood peoples' messages with doodles then just move everything to scraps or delete it.
Mostly been working on a resign for Rauhiss (my old Metal Head hybrid guy from like 2004) because I started replaying the Jak trilogy on my PS2. lol When I get those cleaned up and make them look pretty I'll post them up so you guys can see what I've been doing. Also was working on a pin up for my friend Jojo of her character Pagan in an old Gil Elvgren pose for fun and practice until my laptop died. Sucks, but it happens.
So I think that's all for now. Take care.

OMG! It happened.

It happened not even a few hours ago. I was doing some RP with Neon and Syon with my BF Jojo on Yahoo and it happened... The spark ignited ever so slightly. After nearly 3 long years, it finally came back! I know some people are probably "Who gives a funk?" But this is a big deal for me so eat me.
Drawing was my life and the love I had for it slowly died, especially when my painting professor started turning into (excuse my French) a bitch and really came hard down on stuff I did. I just lost all interest in doing painting, drawing, and I had even avoided finishing off the rest of the art classes I needed to graduate. But now. I couldn't believe it actually sparked back. My problem now, I don't know what to draw! HA HA. Oh irony. I started looking around at sketches/doodles I had done or ideas I wrote down and I found one sketch I might try finishing up. I also want to try playing around with some good scenes, not just DERP characters standing around waving or... just standing there... I get really bored seeing that all the time, so I want to just do better action is what I want to do.
I want to try so hard not to lose this again now that it sparked just a little. I should for kicks post what doodle I did during the RP that made the spark, but it's just a stupid doodle that would end up in the scraps anyway.
I also might just ask, just to keep the spark going, what would you like to see me draw? Have a favorite OC of mine you like? I don't have any really creative ones, but I do love my creations. I just don't want to lose this again. *crosses fingers and hopes*
Lastly, thank you to the people that commented on my last journal when I was still in the dumps about this and tried to help cheer me up (you awesome guys know who you are). I really appreciate your guys' help and time for reading my journal. <3
I need to come up with a new avatar. I love you NUKE, but I'd like to forget the old me for awhile... *need to come up with ideas for a good icon*
Take care all.

The art thing. Sorry I haven't posted much. That little spark is really struggling to hang in there. I just can't find that one thing to get my groove back again. It's annoying.
I also have to get this off my chest too for some reason.
If you don't want people to critique or say their opinion about your art (whether it be writing, a drawing or photography), then for the love of all that's holy why would you post it on the internet where the entire world can see it?
*shrug* I don't know. I just felt like I had to say my opinion about it. You're free to say your own too if you'd like.
So, back to the art. I've been THINKING about doing some sketches of Neon and Syon, but it seems like when I go to do it, nothing happens or I just say meh. I hope I find that one thing that will bring my groove back. Maybe if I try fanart of characters I've seen and like. *shrug*
Well see what happens.
Any tips to get my groove back would be most welcome.
Take care all.

Art coming soon

I'll try to post some arts within the next few weeks. I've been doodling and going to refine some of the things I've been doing or planned on doing for a long time. The spark is there, just not that raging inferno I'd love it to be. It'll grow, I just have to nurture it some more and not let it die again. It felt horrible not doing any finished art for nearly 2 years.
Hope the people that watch will enjoy seeing my art again.
Also, cute April Fool's joke, DA. I got a Lady Gaga icon. Thank god I like her. I'd be so mad over getting one of those Twilight icons, seeing how I hate it with a passion. Jokes on you, DA. lol

Whoops

Yeah, so I totally forgot that I said I was going to spent more time on here... Almost like several months later I show up again. I think it's probably official I won't be on here anymore until I can really get back into drawing. Doodling just isn't cutting it for me, and I don't know what to do to get that spark back and keep it lit. I thought I almost had it yesterday, but it turned out to be more doodling, nothing more.
I do want to say I apologize to the people have have faved and comment on things, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart that there are some people still looking at my work while I've been absent from here. It truly does mean a lot.
Just wish that would spark me to draw even more than just doodles, so I could keep those people that watch me happy to see more work from me.
The messages and things I have now in my inbox I will take the time to go through since I'm taking night college classes this semester (way better for me since I'm a night owl), I might not comment a whole lot if at all just so I can catch up and see what's been going on with some friends. Don't think cause I'm not on here like I used to be that I haven't been thinking about some of you guys. That's not true. I just wish I kept in better contact with some of you on MSN or Yahoo, even if we talked for 5 minutes just to say "Hey!"
I'm determined to get my spark back.
*begins unholy ceremonies to pray to gods for inspiration*
Stay cool, but don't freeze.
I miss you guys.
