Hey guys, wanted to type up a short thing before my queued art posts start popping up. 

First off, as I've mentioned already, I've got 15 posts queued up, one a day for 2 weeks. They'll go live at 4pm est. After 14 new colored art posts, the sketch page they're from will also go up. Despite being sick while I've worked on the majority of these, I think they've turned out pretty good and I hope you guys enjoy them.

Now on to studies and frustration. I've been studying. I've been studying a lot. It's almost all I do in my free time now, I don't even really play videogames anymore. I'm so intensely frustrated with the quality of my art. I know I'm getting better, but it's happening so much more slowly than I'd like. Maybe I'm studying wrong, or maybe I'm not studying enough, or maybe I'm studying the wrong thing. I'd really love to have proper direction in my study. I'd love to have a school style experience but I can't afford to move to Montreal and go to a proper artschool.

Needless to say I don't plan to give up. I love the feeling I get when I can properly convey a character, or when I spot a noticeable improvement in my work. My current snag right now is making money. I've tried commissions a while ago but got very few bites. I'm starting to get interested in opening up a hentai foundry account and see if lewd commissions fare any better. I'm also considering making some comics to sell but it's easier said than done. I'm not happy with my art and making a comic with this feeling is just an even more grueling experience. I'm wondering if it'll ever be possible to save up enough to actually go to that artschool I've been thinking about a lot lately.

Anyhow, that sums up my frustrations. I'm working on this stuff every day, so definitely expect more. I just don't really know where I'm going with it all. I'd like to make really really sexy pinups ;P

Sorry if this comment is late, but I'll also add that you should TRY to take a break from all that studying. I do know what you mean by being frustrated, I'm trying to get back to writing fanfiction. I have been wanting to write another sequel to one of my stories, and maybe expand one of the stories from its just complete one chapter.
