Hello again all. Not much to report, just a quick update to see who's paying attention to my messy corner of DA. I'm trying to get out of my superhero box and draw other things, like the Space Marine from 40K I posted today. Pretty much I'm looking to develop my own style (aren't all artists striving to accomplish that?) and figure out where my niche is. As much as I love superheroes, they present some problems for an aspiring artist so for a while at least I'm going to shelve them and pursue other avenues to hone my skills. My main problem seems to be finding that creative spark.

I'm getting tired of swiping other people's ideas/works and my lack of creativity lately is really beginning to wear on me. I think I'm going to try some different things out over the course of the weekend and see if my muse leaps out. My plan is to do some landscape/general scenery drawings, possibly out and about in downtown or somewhere in the woods around here. I really would like to get some backgrounds in my work, but I'm a little uneasy about trying to do so. Another thing I'd like to do is dabble in some technological things like cars, mechanical devices, and possibly some giant robots (I love Gundams and may try to sketch some of the models strewn about the house).

I'd also like to get over this fear of tackling things I see as 'too challenging' for my skill level, which is why I drew the Ultramarine today. If all goes as planned, I'll have lots posted Monday night...

Until then, be safe, have fun, and if you can't be good, at least be good at it!
