rambling

Thu Sep 13, 2007, 9:41 PM
Lately it's been bothering me more than usual that my DA gallery is a poor unorganized representation of what I do, especially as of late, but I don't really know what to do about it.  I thought about deleting a ton of stuff and uploading newer things, but at the same time, I don't want to bother with DA much anymore because I'm rarely on it. I feel bad messing with my gallery and everything when I lack the time to check everyone elses.

OH what to do. I've been itching to make a website/portfolio for a while, just so I could have SOME sort of reference to offer when an opportunity randomly pops up or someone asks, but but but websites cost money and I am HTML/CSS STUPID and NO TIME NO TIME! But it would be so much better than a DA account that doesn't even reflect me very well (not saying id leave da, though; i like the artists and friends on here) And... yeah. DILEMMA

I have some ideas I want to do art wise but I have no time or motivation. I haven't drawn anything this entire semester yet. I feel like I'm missing out on practice and experience, especially since art is pratically nonexistant at my school. Trying to keep the possibility open of DOING something in art one day is becoming harder and harder; I think maybe I'll just... do it ONLY as a hobby instead.

GGRR NOO TIIME. There needs to be more time in the world.

ramble ramble. I figured I'd ramble here for once instead of LJ. To torture you all. SRY. THIS WAS POINTLESS. GO CHECK OUT THE PPLZ I PIMPED.

It really is good to have a website. AND business cards to put it on! I can't tell how many people asked me for business cards with my dA address, ajfajfkfjdjfl. *fails at business*

Does only as a hobby mean we can no longer have our long, drawn commissions where I finally send you your money about six months later? D : But, I wants more art~!!!

Your gallery... well, what exactly is your main focus in art? I particularly love your Macabre & Horror stuff. Not just because its all scary, but, I love that thing you do with all the crazy splattered paint/ ink/ white out(?). Even on my commission, it really added interest to it. :P I love seeing how its the first one everyone who comes over my house goes to look at closer. Its that style I've come to think about when I think about your work.

This is me motivating to to do art D:< Doooo iiit!

Oh, and good luck with the web site!

well I might still do personal commissions from time to time, but I mean, I won't try and do anything real like CD covers or freelance work, if I did stop pursuing it as anything other than a hobby.

I have NO idea what my main focus is D8 I guess my gallery bothers me because i feel its outdated and too random, its not really.. recent enough to reflect, you know? Alot of stuff in my gallery I don't really do that often, but it looks like its something i normally do (i.e. the clean photoshop lines and stuff). I DONT KNOW. its hard to explain but im sure you get it.

AHaha im glad you like my ink stuff! I think I'm slowly coming to identify with it as my "thing".. like every artist has their style/"thing" they usually do or are known for or feel comfortable working with. It's one of the only style/techniques/whatevers I've tried that I've stuck with for so long, and I noticed its evolved alot (from flat b/w, to splatters, to washes, to colored washes with splatters AHAHA). And I want to KEEP doing that kind of stuff and experimenting with it, actually.

I RAMBLED OMG IM SORRY.

This is me thanking you for the motivation, becuase it actually did motivate me some and it got me thinking. :heart: :heart:

You can always just sign up for another account purely to serve as a portfolio and this could be your art dump? Just a though, haha.

Ughh I keep thinking that about my DA gallery too but WHATEVER, fuck it I really don't care enough. IT'S JUST DA. I use it more to TALK to people than for art anyway, I mean wtf. =w=;

I CAN HELP YOU MAKE A SITEEEE. D: And if you're really interested in getting your own domain I really could probably hook you up with one, you just gotta like... decide on a name AHAH.

HMmm.. ANDAND YOU DONT HAVE TO GIVE IT UP JUST AS A HOBBY!! <3<3 WAHH. FIND TIME FOR ARTS!!! 8< YOU CAN DO IT!

Which btw we still totally need to play some scribble gamesssss. ;3; <3 /shot

maybe ify ou UPLOADED MORE it would be better. You havent uploaded in what, like three, four months? SRSLY. You art, you just dont post. :<

I dont want you helping me with a site unless you make one for YOURSELF, too. B| You need one more than I do. SRSLY. Or we can just put both of our stuff on one site and divide it by subdomains or something I DONT KNOW. but im not making one unless you make one too.

I know what name I want I just haven't bought it yet because um i dont want to buy it then never use it AHAHA i r cheap.

I SAID MAYBE. we'll see waht i do with art depending on where i go in my career path. i dont want to pursue it as a job until im certain i'll have the time, becuase i dont want to work three years to try and get my first freelance job, then find out i wont even have time to keep doing it becuase of my real job, whatever it ends up being.

Hey, if you ever do want someone to make you a website, I'd be happy to (although it would cost some money, amount depending how simple/complex it will be). I recently did one for *Louisalings - louisalings.dk, and some other ones are listed at bydegrees.net. (I just made it, so it's not finished yet, but I've got some links up).
