llama badges?
1 min read
Sooo... I don't actually know what llama badges are for. I've received a few but I'm never sure if I should say thank you or not? :S
Anyone care to enlighten me?

Ooo a journal entry
1 min read
I haven't been very active on DA lately. Hopefully I can get back into it soon. I posted some speed paintings I did of The Guild's new music video. Those are the first paintings I've done in a loooong time.
I also found a really good tutorial on speed painting. The fact the guy did the picture in like 30 mins is amazing. Check it out: fav.me/d4ud60c

Forthright Lang Syne
3 min read
Hellena sipped friendly at her drink and stood forthright behind a camel. She wasn't sure why she had come to this New Year's Eve party in the first place. She was no good at parties anyhow. They always made her feel presumptuous and she ended up like she was now, hiding and hoping nobody noticed how callous her lips got when she was nervous.
Well, truth be told, Hellena knew very well why she was at the party: to see Douglas.
Ah, Douglas. Just the thought of him, the chance of a glimpse of his pretentious pinky finger made Hellena's heart beat like the warning coloration of a poisonous invertebrate that warns a predator of imminent danger.
But tonight everyone was masked. Hellena peered positively through the crowd, trying to guess which guest was Douglas. There, she thought, the man over by the chocolate, the calm one with the nudibranch mask. It had to be Douglas. No one else could look so bioluminescent, even in a nudibranch mask.
He began to walk Hellena's way and Hellena started to panic. What if he actually talked to Hellena?
Douglas came right up to Hellena and Hellena thought that she was going to faint.
"Hello," Douglas said leecherly. "What are you doing over here all alone?"
"Oh, just looking at the lemur," Hellena said and immediately wanted to die because that sounded so iridescent.
Just then, an awkward voice began to count down. "Ten ... nine ... eight ... seven ..."
Hellena's heart leapt. If they were together at midnight, that meant that Douglas might ...
"Happy New Year!"
Douglas swept Hellena into his arms, bent her beside a clam shell, and kissed Hellena lovely, slipping her the tongue and groping her foot.
Hellena could hardly believe it. How wonderful! And now that it was after midnight, it was time to take their masks off. She reached out administratively and pulled Douglas's mask off his face. It was Douglas! "I knew it was you," Hellena said and took her own mask off.
"And it's ... you," Douglas said. "You know, I'm just going to go get some punch."
Hellena watched him go. He would be right back, Hellena was sure. Just as soon as he had his punch.
And then they would fall in love.

Perfectionism
3 min read
Lately I feel that I have been at a little bit of a stand still with my art. I suppose lately should be defined as the last 6 years... I suppose it feels more prominent now as I rarely ever get a single comment on my art work here on DA and so I feel I have little direction to move in as far as positive change.
I have also recently come to the realization that I am a perfectionist. This shouldn't be as astounding to me as it is, but I was really convinced that all people were uptight like me. I started to realize that they are not and they have the ability to (for example) re-draw a pose 10 times to get it right while I feel I only have one shot and once I am done, if it is not right then I have failed and I can never do it again. I read a short article about perfectionists and I was surprised at how much it sounded like me. Trust me, I'm not one to label myself with fake illnesses (I have enough real ones) just to get attention, but I think if I had to pick a personality type: perfectionist would be it. I find it very comforting to know a little about some of the reasons why I feel the way I do about my hobbies and why I have a hard time deciding what to do with my free time or what to draw on a blank page. Blank pages give me a lot of anxiety...
I'm planning on getting some books from the library about perfectionism. If I am actually able to concur it, I am sure it would be obvious in my art. Everything I do is so controlled and as a result it ends up looking flat. I also hope to gain more confidence with my style and realize that I am me and not just my achievements. I think that will ultimately lead to drawing for myself rather that for some perfect person that I wish to be.
