Where everyone goes around in bad cosplay and begs for free stuff at your door.
Where everyone slums-up their houses to look like old abandoned shacks.
Where people waste pumpkins to carve them.
Yes, it's Halloween... My least favorite holiday of the year.
Good thing I've turned into a werehyena though... About time for something non-traditional to show up!

The Scrapening
You're probably looking around right now at my DA and FA galleries and wondering what's happened to all the artwork and why it's either in some folder or in the scrap bin. I should start off by saying that you shouldn't be alarmed or super concerned, because I'm not completely throwing it away... Rather, I'm just sort of "retiring" it or just coming to terms with the fact that all those ideas weren't really getting anywhere... Even the recent stuff. See, I'm just wanting to start from a sort of blank slate, back to the top, and just trying to detach myself from all the old worn out ideas that never became anything to come up with something new and fresh. Something bigger and more involved than just random pictures. Something that actually has something to say or at least feels like a mature, well worked on project. This doesn't mean that certain concepts are going to go away. I don't think we'll stop seeing big monster guys, big girls, and fantasy settings come from me... But
A Promotion?!
Time to listen to everyone else's problems and make movies better with a shot of liquid courage; I'm training to be a bartender at the movie theater I work at. Honestly if you're wonder why I just haven't done much of anything here. I've just been really busy the past couple of weeks hauling my aunt to her appointments, fighting with my aunt's Social Security and the State of California over some things, and generally wondering how I haven't got much time for anything more for me. Maybe there will be some pictures coming soon? I'm not sure.
Why So Much Introspection?
A journal for those generally curious as to why I write up things where I think about my stuff and over analyze in general. For those who want a short answer, it's something like this; while having great technical skills are highly valuable, they mean next to nothing if your overall idea and central theme is weak as hell. All you get is a "very good depiction of a fuzzy idea". For those willing to read into it more, think of it like this: I've been on Deviant Art for nearly two decades now and if you were to ask someone what was the one thing that I made that really stood out, you'd probably wouldn't find anything that says "Artie made this and it means a lot." I have yet to achieve the kind of status like Urslav did with the "Biting Pear of Salamenca". I haven't made any real good works. Now I know some of you are probably gonna come up and say "ah, but you made those fat Krystal pictures! Those are the most popular and most liked thing you've done!" And you'd be right; it seems
Planning Isn't My Strongest Suit
So many things I said I was going to do ended up not happening, and this week, I had to tell the game shop I do Monday night D&D sessions at that I needed to step away for a while because I couldn't keep up with the weekly schedule and didn't work on anything regarding my campaign. Honestly so many projects that I said were going to happen ended up not happening either because of myself or something outside of my control. Meanwhile, the stuff I don't tell anyone about and just sort of just mention it when I get it done (the Tabletop Cues) tends to be the stuff that is "most successful". That is, you get some kind of finished product. I suspect that what I really need to do is just stop telling people what I'm going/wanting to do and just do the thing, and let the thing speak for itself when I'm done with it. Hyping myself and others up only to fail at delivery doesn't look good, nor does it feel good. I've tried various methods to get better at being more organized and following a

The best part of Halloween is that I can get lots of mediocre candy half-off the next day.
