Hey community, whassup?
I'll be honest. I had an awesome deal going on with a cool company about featuring my work... And it fell through. No real reason as to why, it just did. It hurt pretty bad, so I feel the need to vent a little.
Have you ever gone through your old work and been in awe of what you had accomplished back then? I'm feeling that way right now. My old sketchbooks seem to contain so much life and detail that I don't bother with nowadays. I feel as though in some ways, I've regressed quite a bit. At least in matters of composition and detail.
I feel like I've become sort of a sell out. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy knowing that my work sells. But I guess I feel like it doesn't matter how well my work sells if I'm only drawing because I want limelight. I think I want more than that. Like, yanno, to be an actual artist, to go forward and not backward.
For a while now, my art has been this way. For years, even. It's because I used to have so much going on around me. As artists, our experiences shape our art. For me, my art is an extension of who I am as a person. If I feel like there is no detail in my life, my art comes out that way. Everything is a shade of gray right now. I wanna find detail again.
I want to find something to draw about. Instead of flat, boring guys and gals on flat, boring backgrounds, not really doing anything. Just... standing. Facing forward.
It's all very boring. I've noticed it, I'm sure you all have.
Anyway, just rambling. Bye, bb.

Art Blog/Tumblr!!
Hey, y'all! If you're looking for me on tumblr, you can follow: http://vespertinehymnal.tumblr.com/
The art blog hasn't updated in a while, but I might get around to it. Who knows. Anyway, thanks for your interest in my art.
Oh, goodness. How about that hiatus?
Wow, I say I'm taking a tiny hiatus and the next thing you know, I've completely abandoned you guys for almost two years.
I'm sorry, haha.
I'll try to get back into the swing of things.
If you have any questions about commissions, past or present, feel free to contact me. But please know that I'm still in a huge funk and the only art I make is personal and school related (and few and far between) right now, until I can get back my mojo. :(
I love y'all~ :heart:
Hiatus.
I lied. I'm taking an indefinitely long hiatus. ~herpderpplz (https://www.deviantart.com/herpderpplz)
Please Donate.
I don't write journals very often. You'll have to excuse me, I'm in a Robitussin induced haze.
As you all know, Haiti was hit with a massive quake. Being half Dominican, I felt that this was a little too close to home.
Here's a page full of options to help you donate to Haiti relief efforts: http://thedailyvoice.com/voice/2010/01/how-you-can-help-with-haiti-di-002491.php
Please donate, even if it's a dollar. You can even text your donation. How easy is that? You don't even have to get up and find your credit card.
Much love. Pray for the people in Haiti. :heart:
