Strength and Humility ??

its not really humility if youve got your nipnips on show. Inappropreate choice of title. Also this is average at best. Deviant art seems to be coated with the tatty unoriginal wank fodder of this type of "arty" photography.

Dont get me wrong, im not a good photographer. But i have eyes, working ones, and ive seen this shot with 1000 different girls byt 100s of other below avaerag photographers.

I know it may seem harsh, maybe its because thats what i intend it to be. But i just fed up with the same old same old. People posting up an image of an almost nakid body, doing a shadowy pose and looking moody. A pickture thats always pawed over by spotty dateless loosers desperate for a shag but with no idea what a real woman is like. Take your first responce. Its all about how good looking the girl is. No comment on photographic skill or image quality.

You could say that you are not to blame for the seixst morons of the world or at least deviantart, but you must be aware that the nude ladys bring the slobbering boys and the boys are the main reason that people post up the pictures ofthe nude ladys.

Theres no creative ideas or style anymore. This is nothing ive not seen in fhm or some bad lifestyle magazine.

10 steps to a fitter body or such.

I just crave for something challenging , origninal or completely and utterly mindblowing. An image to change how people look at the world , if only a bit of it , if only for a moment.

Or just something that redefines the classic female photo.

This really isnt just directed at you i suppose, but everyone who posts female / female nudes here... or pictures of two girls who might just be about to kiss..... like... coor , lesbians. *snigger snigger*

But your picture is the one that ive seen here today, and it is the one that ive found least interesting ... although ironically so... I would like to see if this reply creates any sort of eather change in style , oir just some thoughtful debate.

anyway , Im starting a new fresh account here on deviantart. "what again!" I hear you cry.

yes again.

But this is more a streamlineing of my activitys on the internet . Im currently on more websites then i care to count and ive always let my obsessive ways take over. I collect loads of art in my faves gallery , of any type. I never get any work done and all the sites im part of suffer as im too buisy with all of them to update any of them.

Ill be cutting back the number of people i watch and the types of artist i watch too. If you are watched by me now and dont get watched by my new account dont be too offended.

Im watching the works only of people who work in the area i really am interested in or influanced by.

Or just people I really like. ;D .

Ill post up details of my new account here with time should anyone show any interest. thanks for everything.

If anyone should be interested in my disorganised past look at





which will be fun.

also im looking about for a new scanner. My old ones not orking anymore , hence the lack of anything from me. I dont know why but i just need to be able to work on paper if im going to work at all.
I cant just pick up a tablet or mouse and sketch.
not yet anyway.

Once ive got a new scanner i shall post up some works. Im planning on doing some new sketches of the few characters that do make it past tomorrows slaughter.

Because, nobody likes a looser."

.....



So I've been looking at others arts , photos, and in some cases , perfect everythings... and felt like , well whats the point. I was at college for 5 years studiying art and it got me nothing.

I learnt nothing that helps me with the type of art i want to do, and i have no money for the type of equipment i need to take advantage of what i can do well.

which isnt really much.

(oh , woe)

Time seems to ever speed up and im being left behind in the path of the tornado.
I have a million ideas , but i cant make them real. I see an image in my head and cant show it too the world. I cant even seem to make it as a writer.
Spelling problems dont help..lol

But I dont want to just give up. Im just finding it hard to see what it is i can do and bring to the world. I have made a choice though. crossed the line in the sand. I want to be the best i can. Im going to continue with my art.

First step, save some cash (or sell some stuff) and get 1.a new scanner 2. a graphics tablet and 3. a new digicam. (also upgrade my pc is also up there...)

so Feel free to look at my account here, and [link] / [link] and tell me if theres something there that you like and would like to buy the original copy off, then ill sell it too you if i still have it. for any price you like. As long as you cover the p+p and that its not a completely stupid price , like 50p. It'd at least have to be £2.00

Note me on here if your interested. meanwhile. new arts await..... after a nap. Ive got a headache.

It was something to look forward to, to get excited about.

In the advent of 3d arts, much like in the video game world, the art of the 2d or cartoon movie was lost.

Which, when you think about it is mad. Since 3d graphics have become more widely used they have become better through the years. Computers have become more flexible, and tools more user friendly. But why didn’t this happen with 2d art. For a short time it did. The lion king used computers, both to add some 3d effects to the 2d art, but also to make some improvements on the 2d work itself. And that’s clear and simple sense.

Now this isn’t a rant about the ills of the computer and how 3d movies have ruined things for traditional 2d animation. I think 3d has its place. But the problem is that we as consumers and even we artists have grown used to the animated movie being 3d.

But it’s more then 3d movies shitting on 2d. Disney lost its way a long time ago.
The last movie most of you will really think of as a "big Disney release" would be the lion king. Sure mulan was one of the last good quality Disney movies, but it didn’t have that air of something special that the lion king had. Over the years the Disney 2d movie became watered down and muted. None of the spectacle was there, not in the film itself or the press and events surrounding it.

Even Disney’s notable fiddles in 3d were less then special (Chicken Little).

Would it have been so hard to keep it going? Now Disney and its name is best known for the high school musical TV movies. Low quality, badly acted, poorly scripted nothing. And if it had just been a TV movie it wouldn’t have been so bad, but 2 sequels and some shoddy look alkies (Disney’s own camp rock or ITV's fame school...or whatever its called.... what its really bad!...) The once great company is just pimping for the money and no longer for the love , so to speak.

I work in retail, it’s not what I do but it’s where my money comes from, and I see a couple of magazines sold under the Disney name. One is called Disney presents. It’s had 8 issues up to this point. 1 and only 1 wasn’t a live action TV movie, and that was wall.e. , not even a Disney film... It’s almost as if Disney as forgotten its whole history. A magazine that could be used to tell new fans what the last 60 years were like for the company. The shorts and animated movies... even the bad ones... could all be touched upon.

Where did the company loose its way. It could easily find it again.
Studio ghibli is still making grand and wonderful 2d animations today. And not just poor quality direct to DVD fodder either. Well animated, creative, well acted works of art. I remember Disney used to be able to do that. Not anymore.

It’s a shame; I miss the big release magic of the good days. Maybe if we close our eyes and wish really hard the classic Disney will be born again. After all, when you wish upon a star.

Welcome to my journal.

Its been a while for some of you, those of you whome have not blocked , forgotten or avoided me.

Which im sure many will do now. lol.

So , in the long void of darkness ive been without equipment , skill or chance.
But not without mind. I now live with my girlfriend and sister.
Ive a job, not one i love , but its money, which is something. And ive had time to think.

Ive always realised im not only less then brilliant as an artist , and flawed on many levels , some medically created, as a writer. But i know that i want, and need to be involved in art. I need to see the things trapped in my mind come to life. If through my hands , then so be it, if throught the help of others that will also be more then i could hope. But i do hope that over time i get to create for myself , and work with others who are talented enough to bring my vision/s to life.

I am planning to work on a few things, some big , some small, some massive. Across many different forms. Im a comic artist , but im not just that.

I hope i can get those who want to be involved in as part of some of what i want to do. But as i said ,l if i must i will do it alone.

All i ask is that anyone who is still listning , watching or caring. Please tell me what you think. Good or bad. Help me to grow.

And if you hear of something im doing and you would like to help , let me know. please.

Today is a new day, tomorrow we change the world.

Why do we feel the need to tell people about our mundane lives?? I suppose its the same as the genetic need to keep ourselves going for as long as possible. Like breeding. Well sorta.

Its what drives people to write books that they get published... well that and money.

But why has the blogging culture grown so quickly? I suppose its because we live in a fame based enviroment now. seeing your text on a tv screen makes you feel that more special. even if the only people who will be reading your blog are your one or two "friends".

Anyway, i digress. My girlfriend came round to stay this weekend. which was nice on a number of levels. Apparently her mum thinks im fat... lol... which is nice.

I gave her the key to the house now, which was strangely special, and i felt good just having her near. But i worry about how shes feeling about everything. I hope that the pressure is not too heavy on her. Ultimately i love her and just want her to be happy and things to work out for us.

As for that , ive started to re-decorate, and im poor already because of my bundle of bills. But its not too bad. Just gone without credit and small things like that for the moment... (although if anyone wants to get me a £5 of vodafone credit i'd be very thankful. lol)

Also i finally got my discount card for where i work, and plan to save up and use it to buy a new pc in a couple of months. I so need to get online at home as these internet cfes are both a rip off and slightly smelly.... *looks around sheepishly*

Maybe its a mix of all those things and more.

This last two weeks have been horrid. Bar the bit in the middle with the hugs and the sex, and the kissyness and all that stuff. (love you by the way nadia)

Anyway, this week , sunday , as im getting ready for work my boiler burst... gushings if water all over the floor, much troubles. I missed a day of work waiting in for someone to come round and fix it... the came , but didnt fix anything and left 1 fan heater.... you know the type that has two hloes for cold air and 1 for hot , and make the room colder rather then hotter.

And i got to work last night only for my boss to talk to me like poo. without even trying to find out what had happened to me.

Now today i wake up to find a letter (dilivered early for once... ironically) from the local council. well not a letter , more a.... notice seeking possession.
So im being evicted unless i pay my rent arrears in full before the 14th of jan.
At that point it'll be £477.00+ (less then last month, also ironically).

The down side it that the notice covers the next 12 months. So if i clear my debt ill still be at risk of eviction , the up side is it cant be sent out again for 12 months.

Swings and roundabouts....(which as a saying makes little sence... i mean really. which is supposed to be bad the swing? or the roundabout??)

Anyway, im going to spend this seasonal time frozen , lonely and at risk of loosing my home.
I am trying to see this as a positive though. i plan to treat 2008 as my fresh start. I have a great girl, my sister is cool, im looking for a lodger, im bringing in good money .. (with my overtime this christmas it'll be over £550.00 in 2 weeks. when you take into account im paid £700.00 every 4... that going to be a nice little bonus next month) .
