the extent of my ability

Sun Jun 21, 2009, 1:14 AM
  • Mood: Happy
  • Listening to: Clouds Across the Moon - Rah Band
  • Reading: The Trial by Franz Kafka
  • Watching: Slum Dog Millionaire was at least a fantastic film
  • Playing: LEFT 4 DEAD IS SO GOOD
  • Eating: someone's pancreas, I don't remember whose
  • Drinking: THE BLOOD OF THE ANCIENTS BUWAHAHAHAA
So, just recently I graduated from high school. (woot woot!) And as a graduation gift, my enormously generous grandparents vied to get me a Cintiq!!! So now I have this fabulous peice of equipment I play with any chance I get-but I'm still painting digitally at the same level as before. This, of course, is not unexpected, or even particularly surprising. But I still feel frustrated because to have this silly notion that now that I have professional-grade equipment, I should be producing professional-quality work.

A quick scan of newb-level work will tell me I am not the only amateur artist who is under this misconception.

I feel as though I have plateau'd to can no longer rely on tutorials and my own ability to excel; I've taken it as far as it will go. Luckily, I keep telling myself, all of these traits I so admire in the work of my heroes I will learn in college-if not by being taught, then by doing.

I'm only 18! I have time to figure all this stuff out! The sooner I get THAT through my head, the better.

Meanwhile, my personal computer is in intensive surgery because to thought it was a good idea to install Linux on the machine that Cj & I use for ALL of our projects, including Asylum Labs and his games & music. This, boys and girls, is what we in the business of calling things call "sabotage."

I'm an lD10T.

So, while I have pages for Asylum Labs ready, because P can't access my ftp without my username & password, I won't be updating until I hear back about my computer.

In the meantime, Is will pace the waiting room floor anxiously and doodle on my gorgeous Cintiq.

(speaking of which, I wrote this entire blog post by hand on my Cintiq BECAUSE I COULD. >:D)

The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians, who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, and walk out the door, and deny Him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable.

I have no idea how I un-watched you D;
