Some old stuff, newly uploaded.

I'm hoping that digging these out will remind me to get off my ass and draw again (though admittedly while sitting on my ass).










And my latest Bryce effort, for a story I was writing.

1. You are absolutely talented, keep up the good work

:thumbsup:

2. Thank you dogday.

I still rarely have the ability to sit and do that kind of stuff anymore as it takes hours upon hours, and my brain isn't very patient anymore. :)

3. These are very good...

Why do you not do it anymore? Can we help you get started again? You have talent that must have an outlet.

4. It's kind of a combination of things.

Being bipolar has made my concentration go kaput over the last decade or so, and the kind of detail work I liked doing requires a lot of it. I expect myself to be able to draw well but not practicing regularly makes that very tough to do, and that just frustrates me to no end.

A lot of people started suggesting I make money off of it, and I have sold some stuff for small prices, but that made it seem like work, which took the fun out of it for me. I like doing stuff for people, but not for the money. I've never felt comfortable promoting myself in any way and money isn't my motivation for anything.

And now I live in basically a one room place and don't have the room for a decent drawing desk so there's no way to even be comfortable when I do try it (which is why I do almost all digital stuff now...I can do that right here on the computer).

My financial situation might be improving for the better soon, and I'm on a housing list, so when/if I move I'm getting a better setup that will allow me to sit at a desk with that blank paper tempting me. :)

My ex-wife pushes me to actually show some of it to people online for feedback (she made me post these here...said if I didn't she would), which does inspire me to do it again to a degree. I get more inspired by seeing other people's work, no matter what style they use.

Thanks for the kind words.
