Holy crap, I'm still here.  Better check my pulse. ... Yup, I do yet live.  Huh.  Go figure. Yeah, I'm submitting stuff again.  And it's of its usual quality, so...yeah.  Deal with it.  I may have a program or two somewhere I can install to make stuff look pretty, but I promise nothing. Soooooo...a-yup.  That's about it.  Fairfarren, all. -- Jib

My birthday.  The day to celebrate my coming into existence, as well as the eventual decay of my fleshy shell.  This time, I'll have existed 19 years within this world.  Normally I'd celebrate by hanging out with my friends until 5 AM and passing out on the floor. But alas, I am downtown with little ability to get people here.  I'm house-sitting for my mother for a week while she's out of state, and am to be on my own with a dog for a week without leaving the house.  I Am Legend status, right there. So just saying hey, things are as good as they can be, these things considered.  You all should draw me nice things for my super awesome 19th y

So, my good friend Rozzix started this thing a while back.  She made a list of her favorite Pokemon of each type.  And I've been looking for an excuse to start drawing again, because I haven't been able to force myself as of late.  So I decided, though my skills in drawing aren't anywhere near as good as my skills of articulation and literation (which isn't saying much), I'm gonna do so as well.  So here we are; 1. Fire - Arcanine 2. Water - Wailord 3. Grass - Cacturne 4. Steel - Scizor 5. Ice - Snorunt 6. Dark - Weavile 7. Poison - Toxicroak 8. Fighting - Lucario 9. Psychic - Metagross 10. Ground - Dugtrio 11. Dragon - Garchomp 1

Many thanks for the favorite, sir-- it's very much appreciated!

I don't suppose I need to tell you where I drew inspiration for that piece...
Well, normally you probably would not have to.  However, I have not been quite in my right mind these past few days, and I am having some difficulty discerning the exact lines along which your inspiration followed.  I can infer some possibilities, but I am not sure how many of those could be oversimplifying the piece or how many would be reading a little too deeply into it.  I find my mind in a tumult lately, and my perception of definition has been muddled as a result.
Oh, don't think too hard about it... I was merely referring to a drawing you showed me once: www.deviantart.com/art/The-Tor… ...but that was ages ago! I was so fond of it, that it served as my desktop wallpaper for a while, so that's probably why the image stuck with me.

I'm very sorry to hear that you haven't quite been yourself lately... If you ever want to vent, I'm all ears.
That's right, I remember.  Apologies, it gets tough keeping up with how many of my pictures I show to how many people.

'S most kind of you, and I may well take you up on that in the days to come.  Things have been...difficult lately.  But they're moving towards a resolution for now, so I'm hangin' in there.  Thank you for your concern.

You're alive! Thanks for the favorite again...
How are you these days?
You're most welcome. Keep producing good work, and you can bet my faves will stick around.

It's strange - I'm actually not sure how I am. I don't feel any different than I used to, nor am I in a particularly different state of being. But something seems...displaced. My tenacity seems to have returned...as if the spirit to actually fight for something I want has been carried on a breeze into my soul. Or, y'know, something like that.

How's about you? Apart from your ever-increasing artistic skills, what's been going on with you?
Ha ha, I wouldn't say that my artistic skills are ever-increasing as I've actually been recieving some complaints in regards to my technique in my painting class... My fellow classmates are always telling me that the way I paint skin looks too perfect and airbrushed due to my tendency to blend the hell out of my skintones. All in all, they want to see something painted more "loosely" as opposed to something that looks like it could have been done in photoshop. I don't know... I'm trying to please people with my art but at the same time, I want to paint in a way I enjoy. Then again, I've been painting in this way for so many years that maybe it's time I force myself out of my comfort zone.
I'm also considering changing programs while still remaining under the domain of arts... The problem is, I have absolutely no idea as to which one I should choose. I'm seeing both a therapist and a career counselor to help me with my decision, but as I realize what more and more options I have, the more overwhelmed I feel. Basically, I've got a lot of reading, research and reflecting to do.

At least you have your drive back... Mine's slipping away, I think. I hope you're doing well.
