Hey everyone! I hope things are good with you? Yes? No? I want to hear!

Things are good with me... except that my computer died about a month ago, and I'm still working on replacing it. Hanging out on dA at work is super weird, so I limited my interneting habits to the bare minimum. I've  barely done any personal art since, except the pencils for a 4-page comic (huh). Hopefully things will return to normal by next month, so I can get back to the plan I made in the previous journal. Yay!

I will be at the Comic Con in Bucharest at the end of the month. If any of you fellow con-goers want to meet, I'm up for it. I know, I know, we're all shy but I'm bringing booze and will probably embarrass myself more than anyone, so everything's gonna be ok!

Also, holy shit, I haven't read A Song of Ice and Fire (or seen the movie) but I've been reading GRRM's sci-fi short stories. DAMN that man can write like nobody's business. It feels like Planescape:Torment borrowed a significant bit from the stories' setting/themes/motives (this is a very good thing imo :D). Apparently Mr. Martin doesn't approve of fan fiction... how about fan comics based on his stories, hmm? My hands are itching.

Putting this useful thing here:

“Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through.”
