You know, Deviantart, I had a funny thought just now.

Last time I drew something was...over two years ago. I wonder how much better I'd have become if I'd kept drawing.

I kind of miss it, personally. But its just so much work, figuring out perspective, and photoshop, and proper drawing techniques. Feels like an awful lot of work, instead of fun.

This is a pickle, deviantart.

If there's one thing I've learned about any pursuit, you will do far better at it if you enjoy it. Or perhaps that only applies to drawing. For the longest time I've known I wasn't drawing, back when I did draw, to do draw.

I drew because I had images, scenes in my head and a desperate, mind-murdering fear that they would never see the light of day, and were far, far out of my reach to make into collections of visual images. So I drew, and when progress seemed impossible, I became frustrated, eventually giving up. And I've seen artists I've watched since I started soar past me. Every time I do I wonder what could've been. How good I could've gotten. What path I might've gone down.

I suppose its really a choice between continuing a creative stupor and subjecting myself the masochism of attempting. The odds of this actually working, not merely becoming dissatisfied and quitting as opposed to simply drawing without worrying about the end result seem...small. But then, I suppose the worst that could happen is that I could go back to the state I'm in now.

Though I'm not even sure anyone cares, now. XD Ah, well.

I wonder how good I'd be by now if I had enough self-confidence not to care about the quality of my work.

If Ed were an interview format swiped from Ali, and perhaps Slash if you count other swipers.

Kari: Well...uhh...depends on when you ask I guess. Usually around 19...

Hari: More like usually around 5. *smirk*

Kari: H-hey! >>;


--- Height? ---

Gray: Y'know, I don't think we ever worked that out...?

Mako: Our dear maker didn't bother to determine such things. XP I guess we're around normal height usually.

Dues: Lazy emokid.

Mako: Niix is kinda tall though.

Niix: >>; Only a bit...

Mako: (He's like a tree.) >.>

Niix: ...putting paraenthesis around your words doesn't make them any quieter, you know.


--- You a virgin? ---

Gray: Yes, thankfully. c_C

Mako: Lawl. XD

Kari: With my age problem, its kinda a given. ..;

Dues: Heheheh...

Niix: ...

Dues: Oh, what? Did I open your eyes to the possiblity that I've gotten lucky?

Niix: ....

Dues: I've put horrible images in your head now, haven't I.

Niix: .....

Dues: Heh, heh, heh. nn


--- Taken? ---

Gray: Eh?

Mako: Heh. ^^

Kari: Well, usually its kinda hard to find someone with this age problem, but...this one RP...^-^

Dues: Ho ho ho. nn

Niix: ... *facepalm*


--- Kids? ---

Gray: Well, uh-

Hari: Hey, I haven't said anything for like three questions.

Mako: Do plants count? nn

Gray: Well DO you have kids?

Kari: I AM a kid most th' time... ..;

Hari: Nah. Waste of time.

Niix: You're not gonna imply you have kids now, are you? >>;

Dues: >>; Of course not. Don't be stupid.

Niix: ... (I'll kill you later...)

Dues: I heard that.


--- Hate anyone? ---

Gray: Hates a strong word...no one for me.

Mako: Oh... *looks down at her hands* We all have someone, don't we?

Kari: Um...w-well...um...

Dues: I can think of one off th' top of my head... *sideglares at Niix*

Niix: Hmph...

Hari: I can think of one... *sideglares at Niix*

Niix: Why did I have to get stuck between you two...


--- Love Anyone? ---

Gray: Loves kind of a strong word too...well, maybe one or two.

Mako: We all have one, don't we?

Kari: Heh...

Dues: Like the as yet undrawn polar bear said, we all have one. *checks his claws*

Niix: None of your buisness one way or the other...

Hari: Love...huh.


--- Shoe Size? ---

Gray: Again, our RPer isn't good with such physical details.

Mako: He has size 12s if that gives some kind of benchmark.

Kari: D-does that mean we all have huge feet? o_o

Dues: Whatever. Long as they can fit into some nice sharp boots. *puts legs up on coffee table, directly into Niix's drink*

Niix: ...

Hari: Wait, since when was there a coffee table? oO


--- Dog or Cat? ---

Gray: Um...arf?

Mako: Bear noise. o.o

Kari: I'm a fox... I-I mean like the animal...not...eheh... ..;

Dues: Howl, babeh. n.n

Niix: I don't think that was the point of this question...

Hari: And since when were there drinks? I've been friggin' thirsty!


--- Natural Birth? ---

Gray: Define natural.

Mako: You know, I'm not really sure.

Kari: I don't think a natural birth would've given me this age problem. ..;


--- Any Unusual Things about you? ---

Gray: I'm a scientist, is that wierd?

Mako: I make plants that do stuff. o.o

Kari: Um, well- *5* ...yeh. .-.

Dues: I'm unusually hot.

Niix: Very clever. In a narcissistic way.

Dues: Aw, thanks.

Hari: Everybody did stuff.



--- I killed more time than I meant to doing this. ---

I seem to be posting a few more things...

Interesting. I also kind of had a vague sort of epiphany...the spellchecker on this actually just spellchecked epiphany for me. Good firefox. Ironically it doesn't like both spellchecker and firefox. XD

Annnnyway. o-o I realized I might...actually have a decent style going...or something interesting...I think, anyway. I'll have to see what happens...

Edit - Side note, I've waaaay too many things to comment on/awesome artists to check out. T_T; I need to sort through that stuff somehow...
