Miss me?

Haha, no, I didn't figure so. After all, a whole lot has happened over the last....

......

MEIN GOTTT!!! I've been away from DA almost a YEAR. I better get busy, huh?

Looking at my stuff, though, it becomes sobering realization time. I'm a freaking ROOKIE compared to some of- most of- the folks on here. Rookie might be the understatement of the year. SO I'm gonna keep working, as long as you good people don't mind swinging by to take a look. (and please, by all means, tell me what I could do better, huh? )

So, in my absence, I fell in love, lost my love, graduated, am about to move out of my house to a shiny new apartment, and have lost more than just a couple fragments of a fragile sanity.

Enough about me. Go out there and keep up the great artwork, folks. You're all an inspiration to a rookie like me, haha.

Don't be a stranger, now!

Thanks to all of you who have swung by!

You all are wonderful and I greatly appreciate your time.

I promise to have something new up soon to celebrate!

Being posessed of hundrds of scrapped novel projects that still retain lots of awesome concepts, I'm doing a 'Concept Art of G. Bilings ABC book....' Kinda lame, and overly ambitious, I know, but here's my current plan:

Over the next few days I will blitz and get 26 peices drawn, inked and colored, and then compiled into this thing. Will it work? I don't know! But here, as always, goes nothing!

Nothing to say, aside from teh fact that I've recovered from the plauge of disease that was wiping me out, and, as a result, am in a much better place to continue putting stuff up.

Huzzah!

Having just survived a nasty case of food poisoning, I was getting all pumped to go out and submit some of the peices I've been working on, only to get mashed up by a light case of Hypothermia over the weekend (yet still more than enough to keep me bedridden.. grr....)

And now, recovered to the point of low-level functionality, I've got all of one thing up, and, looking at the stuff I was gonna submit, I'm getting pretty pissed off at my artwork. I mean, yeah, I've come a long way from, heck, last year even, but I still have a bloody long way to go to be even on par with any of my artist friends, or much of anyone on this site for that matter.

It's just agitating is all. I know going emo over it won't magically make my work better, so I'm not gonna waste my energy on it. Just bear with me folks, I'm OK and getting better.

Here's to improving, and I'll catch you all on the backdraft.

But my novelistic ventures aside, I'm sure a couple of you (The ones who read my occasional Journal entries out of boredom) noticed the lack of teh promised "Deluge of artwork" from last week.

Yes, I admit it. I'm a bad person, life interfered, and the majority of it didn't get colored, or even scanned in yet.

However, it IS on the way, soo keep your eyes peeled.

Anyway that's it from this end, so cheers to all of you, and a happy belated new year!

Why, you may ask? Truth be told, over vacation, I've had plenty of free time.... which is not really all that much of a good thing at times.

For instance, I've spent pretty much all of vacation trying (desperateley) to stick to a single novel project, and failing spectacularly in that I have about five separate projects vying for my attention.

They are, in order of completion:

1) Demonus Internum, my dark horror thingy, holding at 53 pages.

2) Starsoul, my beloved Sci-Fi, holding at just over 100 pages. (although i may end up re-writing the whole thing)

3) The Mages Tale, a recent fantasy novel that I've been fleshing out (and doing concept art for) 0 pages so far, but I've got roughly 12 pages of backstory and outlining.

4) and 5) are as yet incomplete ideas, bareley tangible, but tantalizing enough in their possibilities to distract me from my other, more complete projects.

So, to fill the void, I've been sketching caharchters and scenes from my novels.....

Which brings me back to the beinning of this entry - a deluge is coming, due in tomorrow night... so you've all been forewarned, y'hear?

I'M NOT ACTUALLY DEAD! HUZZAH!

*cough*

Anyways, I'm finally back, after a long hiatus in wich a whole lot of not-so funny hijinks occured that led to a whole big dramatic period that i can gladly say is over.

So, now that it's out of the way, I can get back to drawing.

Thanks for reading,

G

Well, I did a few new peices last night, and with any luck that trend will continue. Life's just been busy, as usual, what with the show, and the homework, and the unsucessful hunting for a girlfriend.

But se la vi, this isn't an emo livejournal, so I won't treat it as such.

On the up side, I'm getting better with the Photoshop pallete, so everything's beginning to look better, overall.

So, if anyone has any requests, I'll be happy to get right on them.

I beat Persona 3! Huzzah!

Now I'm in post game depression!

Wait..... That's not a good thing......

Oh well, now I have more time for drawing and sleeping and writing!

Speaking of drawing, if any of you have any requests, I'll be happy to take a stab at them - I'm short on inspiration right now!

So, till next time!

-G

Every day is based on squeezing out a few more levels, or get to one more sudden, revealing plot twist.

I've had teh game for a week. I've logged in over 40 hours. You do the math.

Needless to say, it's reaching obsession levels (for me, at any rate) so I'm trying to cut down.

I did this by drawing and going back to tarot (a hobby of mine)

Well.... It dawned on me that tarot is also (go figure) central in P3, and most of my drawings featured my own stabs at personae.....

So, bad for me, good for you, I suppose!

Enjoy!

Thanks for hanging around and reading the journal!

And with that gone, a plethoraof drawing ideas came with it.

I'm updating those now, you all should take a look! =3

*ahem*

Anyway, I'm back from my unintentional hiatus, although the summer reading crisis may hold me back for a while.

Reguardless, two new deviations! Huzzah! Enjoy.

I've been lookinga round the site, and I feel desperately outclassed.

Don't ghet me wrong- I realize some of these people have been drawing for many more years than I, and practice makes perfect. But I stil feel awed/terrified/depressed.

I'm not pretentious enough to think that I'm a master artist, but looking at my stuff, I begin wondering If I should keep drawing at all.

But, hey, emoness aside, I realized something:

The only way to go is up.

So, If you all will bear with me, I'll keep updating my gallery with my most recent peices. I will improve, damnit! I swear it!

So, I'm looking forward to this, and I hope to improve my art style while I'm doing it, and I hope you all enjoy my work!
