                <description><![CDATA[ Well my last semester is well under way, and I'm balancing things out alright.  Study is goin just fine and I've resigned to not stress at all about it this Semester, which will make it WAY better!  Worrying is ultimately pointless.<br /><br />Got a couple art comms to do for friends, for actual $$ too! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=D" title="=D (Big Grin)" /> I can't really afford to do things for free of late.  Still not heaps social lately, but I'm really not into thinking about that anymore.<br /><br />Got one possibility for next year which is nice, as opposed to this EMPTY VOID of possibility.  The vael journals continue to DRILL into my soul.  Where will it lead?  No one noes! <br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/o/ohnoes.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":ohnoes:" title="Oh Noes!" /><br /><br /><sub><i>There is plenty of room for you in my Father's home... i'll come back and get you so you can live where I live.

                <description><![CDATA[ Woo! Finally made use of the gallery folders.  Now there is order to my little universe!  Categorizing made me wanna do more Skink Town stuff, maybe I will!<br /><br />Right now I'm mainly excited about my new "comic type" project.  I want to express myself more through my art and I think this is a great way to do it, it's kind of like a journal, but an allegory in a different world.  It'll be weird but good I hope.  I mainly want my OWN project to be the motivation to do stuff, not to improve or to do stuff for other people.  The ideas are coming thick and fast so it's pretty exciting. I want to enjoy it so I don't get all hard on myself and BURN OUT! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/shakefist.gif" width="24" height="18" alt=":shakefist:" title="CURSE YOU!" /><br />I need to redefine what is "good" and why...with myself.<br /><sub>(you'll see teh results one day) </sub><br /><br />As for my LIFE in general?  Well my 6 week holidays are almost over!  I'm ready to go back <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=)" title="=) (Smile)" /> <br />My 3 weeks in Tasmania were swell as always, a much needed time to reflect and just space out.  I actually feel better upon my return, well...more focused and positive.  I was getting into a bit of a rut I realised.<br /><br />Well, better gets on with my comms!<br />DISCIPLINE!<br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/pray.gif" width="15" height="18" alt=":pray:" title="Pray" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Anyone know what its like to be paralyzed by choice?  <br />Happens to me a lot when I sit down at the comp or my sketchbook...<br />Woe be tide those who don't have the luxury of a fancy shmancy "class"<br />to have "teachers" make them into great artists.  No, some of us actually have to have discipline!  Ok I'm not bitter...<br /><br />Anyhoo, things are ok overall.  In a bit of a "cocoon" stage where I don't feel like doing much, but soon I shall burst forth into something more social and active.<br />(God, hurry up) No, God may seem "slow" but he is darn thorough.  <br />I am just trying to stay in the present, everyday is it's own.<br /><br />Foodland is randomly stocking cans of Dr Pepper and Root Beer! <br />that makes me glad<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I keep putting this off and it badly needs an update.<br /><br />SO a new year eh?  Pretty keen to get into drawing again.  I finally got my hand healed and its a LOT better than it was.  It's still a bit of a battle but I'm really thankful for the progress!  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/pray.gif" width="15" height="18" alt=":pray:" title="Pray" /><br /><br />Continuing the 3rd year of my bachelor of ministry degree and I feel more crap and inadequate than ever!  Which isn't all bad... but I'm madly praying for a bit of a breakthrough in regards to my study... man the pressure gets to me!  It's like I think I'm never good enough or something, well It's getting better.<br /><br />Not much more to say, hope you'll see more dA action from me!<br /><br />XD<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Ahh hands have been acting up...so hence the lack in much action.<br />
<br />
I've been to the doctor just in case its anything more serious... he took some blood and gave me some celebrex which is some "dangerous" anti-inflammatory<br />
or something.<br />
Been doing a lot of video stuff instead lately... but thats all on my youtube which is here <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/therealarien">[link]</a><br />
<br />
Anyway, hope to get back to drawing heaps soon... but I really can't do much!<br />
It's really sucky!<br />
<br />
Plus I reacted embarrassingly bad to the blood being taken out... heh<br />

<br />
It's winter again but I'm pretty chuffed!<br />
<br />
I can't believe it!  After all these years of relative obscurity, one of my pieces has made it to daily deviation status!<br />
It's like a happy dream!<br />
Thank you to everyone who has started to watch me now because of it, and for all of your <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/plusfav.gif" width="15" height="16" alt=":+fav:" title="+fav" />'s<br />
<br />
I encourage everyone to bug me and suggest things, keep me motivated to be the best I can! <br />
I'm still studying full time so it's hard to find time...actually thats a lie, it's harder to find time to study!<br />
<br />
Overall-y?  Still lots of trials here and there, but my relationship with God has grown so much through it all, things are starting to make more sense.<br />
Faith is a big theme lately!  It's so easy to expect disappointments, its way harder to have faith that things are gonna be ok.<br />
<br />
time to boogie! <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/boogie.gif" width="25" height="25" alt=":boogie:" title="Boogie!" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ A lot has happened since last entry. I feel like im a vastly different person from the beginning of the year.  My desire to do art comes and goes, it's not always easy.  This is one fat journey im on and I feel like God is dragging me along kicking and screaming...bad things happen and I have to carry on regardless, no matter what, im not always going to recieve all the answers I want.<br />
Oh well, its never gonna be more than I can handle... Every day I learn so much.<br />
Relationships are what matter most. Love and humility.  <br />
Growing is painful and change hurts, but it beats the hell out of not doing anything and sitting still.  God is still good but he does drive me up the wall sometimes.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Ahh, my seasonal entries over a year are now complete!<br />
<br />
These holidays have been a choice opportunity for me to really relax and do lots of artsy stuff...not just art, but like animations and music.  I did a really good bionicle one the other day, something ive been wanting to do for ages.<br />
Id really like to do a video montage...another thing ive been really wanting to do actually.<br />
But yeah, a big thanks to all my new watchers for your support and stuff!<br />
feel free to bug me and stuff!  I appreciate it when people keep me accountable.<br />
I've also been really inspired by the Feng Zhu tutorials ive been watching, im realising how much I need to get back to the basics of perspective and lighting!<br />
learning is FUN! <br />
<br />
Big pity that my hands are really acting up again...really achey.  I guess I got careless after studying finished for the year.  It really sucks how I cant draw "as much as I want".  More meds for me!  Even as i type this my thumb is hurting!<br />
Ah wells... I will make the most of the holidays I have left... more picnics I say!<br />
<br />
Well thats my update for now...peace. PEACE!!!11 <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/spidey.gif" width="17" height="20" alt=":spidey:" title="Spidey" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Ahh Spring...<br />
been submitting more often lately...which is always good.<br />
It's been more natural lately...less forced... more of a thing which I<br />
do for liesure.  <br />
Liesure is important right now!  Stress is varied in the way it manifests itself and <br />
I cant just go about studying all the time...or TRYING to study.<br />
I need to maintain my balance.<br />
<br />
I kept my sketchbook open when i was doing my last paper and it was a good idea!  Whenever i lost my train of thought, id doodle a bit.  At the end of it i had a few really nice pics!  Now THATS multitasking.<br />
<br />
Hopefully my skinktown comics will be a regular thing...but theres always other things in the pipeline!  Ahh...<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Theres something about study that makes me wanna draw more...<br />
ahh procrastinating!<br />
Well my hand is on the mend, and i can pretty much draw the same as i could.<br />
SO new things should be making it up soon...hopefully more than just photos.<br />
<br />
im still slowly trying to get better at the basics...anatomy...etc.<br />
all the while visiting inspiring art sites... mainly conceptart.org (awesome)<br />
I still also wanna do more cartoonish stuff...like improve on my style and movement...<br />
and horrid perspective....horrid as she may be... she makes it all better! a beast worth taming....<br />
anyhoo...<br />
lots of study to do! (muahaha) ]]></description>

<br />
i recently hit 4k page hits which is a novelty, i also submitted my 100th deviation!<br />
it really doesnt seem like ive done that much...it just doesnt feel like theres that much at all, maybe cus in my mind most of it i dont like that much or consider relevant.... i think im too hard on myself.<br />
<br />
Such as it is to be a fully commited, hardcore christian in this mediocre country of ours, such as it is to be a commited hardcore artist...being bereft of a steady job to cling to and force me to improve.  <br />
<br />
I dont have satanits banging down my doors forcing me to recant, nor do i have superiors banging at my head to finish my character design!  So its upto discipline and vision to remain steadfast in what i know and to continue reaching my goal.<br />
<br />
i suppose this way it means more, to be muffled within obscurity to then have to somehow not get settled within the crowd, to not compare myself with others and just be happy with where i am and enjoy the trip until i get there... <br />
well at any length im accepting the fact that i do not have a job or live in a communist country like china... (though cool as it may be).<br />
<br />
On a more normal note..... <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/m/movingon.gif" width="43" height="15" alt=":movingon:" title="Okay... Moving on now..." /><br />
my hand HURTS!  it really sucks.<br />
<br />
since starting studying this year ive been aggrivating it, but since it hasnt had time to recover properly, EVERYTHING aggrivates it!  Using the computer, taking notes, and worst of all...drawing!  even just pickign things up, using my opposable thumb...<br />
I now have opted to using my left hand taking notes.... and im getting better! <br />
albeit slooowly.... hopefully this weekend ill give it a break and be raring to go next week.<br />
<br />
OK, edited lecture, had my frappe, time to do dishes and make dinner and hope someone is here to eat it! woo (gosh this is long... im such a student)<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Well dont know if you'll see much art from me for a while...<br />
<br />
besides the fact that my arty faze is fizzling out sadly...<br />
i just got a stupendous kawai es3 digital piano! not only that...but ive gotten into<br />
using 'reason 3' more (music creator) and my music is just gonna launch...its....<br />
drooltastic...<br />
<br />
gaux! <br />

<br />
20-9-05 update<br />
in a way i suppose ive gotten too legalistic with art and lost my original drive...<br />
thats how i go with my fazes i think, i get so caught up in what i GOTTA do, i end up loosing what i enjoy about it in the process.<br />
So once i calm down for a bit, things should pick up eventually. <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ well august was certainly my biggest submission month...lets see if i can top it with september! not likely...but i guess those photos were kinda cheating.<br />
<br />
Im slowly easing into digital art more, which is cool, and even the dreaded inking!<br />
inspirations are hard to come by, so when i find i source i kinda cling to it.<br />
<br />
gah i HAVE to be so focused...since im not studying anything.  Not like i have much else to do.  This really is a time for project hopping, and when i say that i mean im prone to jumping from project to project, whichever is freshest or exciting i suppose.<br />
<br />
not overly healthy, but...gets the job done.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/worker.gif" width="33" height="18" alt=":worker:" title="Little Worker" /> <br />
<br />
any ideas or anything...anything you'd like to see me try or whatnot, would be neat<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ HM!<br />
<br />
been submitting a lot of animal sketches lately....kinda beating around the bush with these.<br />
<br />
sure they're nice, but they're not really that hard and its not what i should be doing with my drawing time.<br />
<br />
i need to focus on cartoons or people more, and just hone my skills in those areas, cus theres many things i turn a blind eye too and hope will go  away or i will magically be better at them when i try next...<br />
but nope!<br />
"shmar..." a drawing course would be nice...but hard to find one that will suit me<br />
plus MONEY<br />
<br />
ah well...things are alright<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ well not drawing HEAPS....this cartoon  course has slowed me down...<br />
<br />
contrary to its purpose i suppose<br />
i need to revert back to scraps of  paper and pen,<br />
that kind of casual drawing style  really frees me up somehow..<br />
moreso than a clean sheet of sketching  paper,<br />
like it doesnt matter WHAT i do...<br />
<br />
anyone else feel teh same?<br />

anyone even read these?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yes well....some developments<br />
<br />
I would really like to find a drawing  buddy...<br />
someone who has similar style....i  mean, there must be someone.<br />
<br />
anyhoo... I realise how crap i now am  at drawing hands....<br />
ive learned some bad things now i have  to learn how to draw hands<br />
and other things all over again.  Its  really important to just be<br />
patient and scrutinize every step of  the drawing...i can be SOO lazy,<br />
and thats my biggest downfall, just to  draw blindly and hope it works<br />
out.  And dont get me started on  perspective....<br />
But i am still trying to develop my own  style, i really need<br />
to create charachters and redraw  them....mainly to get ok at<br />
recreating stuff...and in turn get  better at perspective! like, drawing in  3d.<br />
cus as jason pointed out, theres  someting static and slightly  disproportionate about my stuff, and i  agree.... i can spend hours on <br />
one person....but if i cant draw  someting from all angles whats the  point...anyway, ill get working on it.<br />
but busy busy!<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Im gonna try and crank my output.<br />
for my sake really, deviantart is just  a creative outlet.<br />
<br />
A lot of great drawers when they start  on here, they're great to start off  with, <br />
then just get a bit better...<br />
<br />
id like to start off bad as i am, and  everyone can see and experience my  journey!  contrast!<br />
hopefully i stick with it and improve  in my areas, develop a style of my own,<br />
cus right now i dont know where im  heading, but i rekkon my style is more<br />
cartoony.<br />
<br />
And i dont want what i see from others  to affect my choices...i want to do <br />
what i feel like without any pressure.   Ill show all my bare drawings<br />
mainly in the form of test sketches,  (cus thats my fav art of others anyway)<br />
but now and again ill try and do a more  polished piece...<br />
<br />
well thats a load off... ]]></description>

reason is also good...some people get  paid...i get paid for existing.<br />

I also applied for a job at the arnotts  factory (they make cookies and  biscuits)<br />
that would be ok full time i guess, i  just desperatley need a job cus im  gonna be<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ something completely off topic and  annoying....<br />
<br />
most of the time when i dream its some  epic scenery or a thrilling situation i  have to find my way around in.  A mind  full of fun stuff to do!<br />
However, sometimes i require a logical  means of boring transportation,<br />
and even a logcial means of  transporting seemingly useless clothes,  hygeine items, and digital camera (for  taking pictures in my sleep -_-) etc.<br />
I find myself lugging around a big bag  of luggage or a backpack, constantly  fretting about..."oh, will i be warm  enough?"  or "Hm, i think id better put  some shoes on first."  i mean....gimmie  a break!  Just when something  spectacular is happening to the sky or  something, i rush inside to search for  my digicam in my duffel bag...."oh where  did i put it? oh heres a nice jacket  for later...." Like i can really capture  pictures i take with a nonexistant  digicam...or the even more stupid  thought of being warm enough...what  funny stupid crap we do in our sleep...<br />
i cant count the amount of times  possibly fun dreams have been ruined by  this routine of worry.  <br />
How did it start? is it some deep  psychological problem i have about  luggage?<br />
or maybe my dreams are just getting way  too literal.<br />
either way its stupid and annoying and  i wish i could stop it...perhaps in the  future with some self control i'll be  able to go.."wait, what am i doing?  stuff this luggage! this isnt real! i  can do what i bloody want without  having to carry a FREAKIN CHANGE OF  CLEAN CLOTHES AROUND!!"<br />
<br />
does anyone else suffer a similar  problem?<br />
anyway...now that ive let it  out....g'nite -_- ]]></description>

i like sketching if you havent already noticed.<br>
ive been convinced (by Jason lange) to do a <br>
coloured version, in the future we shall see<br>
the fruits of his convincing skills.  Actually<br>
i jumped at the idea, but it will still take freakin<br>
ages.  Plus ill learn new things!<br>
which is never not un good...um.<br>
