It occurred to me that my last journal has been up there a little long, especially given I could (assuming I was funds positive) buy the Avengers on DVD now, so thought I'd post my thoughts, current or otherwise, namely:
What is Passion? Can you regain it if its lost, or is it gone forever?
My production rate has bottomed out AGAIN thanks to the constant lack of time between work and home, running around firefighting and trying to make time with work customers, wife and son and ending up with little for me to do.... anything, let alone draw and complete work for upload. The stress from all that and the less than ideal financial situation myself and my little family is in again (AGAIN!) mean I'm rarely in a good mindset, so when I draw I'm production work that is unadulterated CRAP, leading me to tearing up pages like I'm a whiny teenager having a tantrum. I have affirmation signs up near my home work area ("One drawing a week, One sequence a month MINIMUM" and "DONE is better than PERFECT" being the most notable) but at the end of the day they are just words no matter how often I try to repeat them as a mantra.
So I'm digging deeper again, trying to recapture something of my art production of my youth, so expect my usual output to be salted with BattleMechs, DBZ and more comic characters. Maybe I'll find the passion again and things will roll out smooth again, maybe not.
