Just wanted to update my journal, cause it's been a while...... I have got a few of my paintings onto the Imagine FX DVD that comes with the magazine. It's such a beautiful magazine this time, dedicated to fairy and folklore themes. Anybody else out there read ImagineFX? I'd love to know!

And for those of you who don't know, I do currently have a work in progress:

My last kiriban seemed quite popular, so I'm doing another one! All you have to do is catch my 20,000 pageview, and you will get a free custom painting from me. I know it's quite a distance away ._. I may think about a 15k too closer to the time.

10K Kiriban:

I feel much better now I've had a little break from drawing and DeviantArt. I'm happy that I've managed to get another work done in just 2 days too! Can't think of anything interesting to say right now so.......

New Work:



I hate MySpace, but it's a good way to network with other artists. If you use myspace, please add me! Here's mine: [link]

This is going to be a long journal! And no, don't see this as an attention seeking ploy.

I've only been painting for just over a year. I seem to do one painting every month or so, and never practice my painting skills. Over the past year of painting, I have hardly any work to show for it. No wonder I am not improving. All of my work seems to be about technical ability. I try so hard to get them to look real(ish) and seem to lose any feeling and emotion of my works. I like style, but as far as emotion in my works goes, I am not happy. There's so many inpsiring artists here, so I will still browse art from time to time.

I have so many great ideas that I want to paint. Right now I need to break away from fantasy art. Or at least add a lot more detail and interest to my works. I know currently they are all boring to look at. At least I can say that I have created my works up to now, as practice. I will get better because of them...
I need to change. Take time out. I need to stop using dA as the main promotion source of my stuff. I feel like I often rush my works just to get them posted... But why? I just need a break from this.
