You ever went back through your art and been just like 'Ugh... This sucks...' and then you look at your newer stuff and you're like 'Ugh... Still sucks...' And then you look at what you're doing now and you're like 'Alright. Now it looks okay.'

Yep, that's where I'm at.

I just went through my old gallery and sketchbooks and was appalled at what I used to consider 'Awesome Stuff!' I've traded my pencil and paper for a mouse and DAZ Studio now, but I just completely analyzed my, at one time considered 'excellent', grasp of anatomy then and I found myself completely deconstructing my old drawings as though I was appraising someone else's gallery and finding it lacking.

I may yet pick up my pencil again, as I have an awesome steampunk Star Wars idea in mind (I know, done to death, whatever.) And an equally awesome take on Oz (Another one that needs a rest, I know.) and I think it would be nice to do something 'real' again. Something that if I screw up I have to pore over and rework, rather than just clicking 'Undo' a dozen times to get back to the size of boobs that were big but not too big (3D people know what I mean.) but, I don't plan on dumping DAZ. Honeymoon ain't over just because the groom sneaks a peek elsewhere every now and then. I still have to do tribute pics for certain someones (I'm looking at you, Stacey and Sunamori. )


Thank you, o gentle reader, for letting me vent a little.
