I haven't been very active on deviant for the last past weeks. I just wanted to give you an update.

I have for a long time struggled with artistic block or something like that. The main issue is that I… well, hate my own art style, and I feel like everything I make look like poop.

I don’t have a lot of knowledge on this subject, but this is what I have read and heard:When an artist  draw a lot, he or she obvious will improve their skills. You get better better to draw, but you also get a better feel for what you’re doing (if I can say it like that). Your eyes get a much more sense on what’s beautiful and what’s ugly. When you’re a kid both your judging skills and your skills with the pencil are at the bottom. Your drawings are shit, but that you don’t know since both of the “skills” are equal.  You get what I’m saying? Later as you get more experience most of you comes to an phase when you get a huge boost your physical skills, what you’re actually able to create. In this phase your eyes have problems following. In this phase you feel like an God with a pencil in your hand, and you get the feeling that you can draw whatever you like. I got this phase around the time when I worked on  Living in the city . After some time your eyes catches up.

Where do this leaves me? I’m currently in a stage where my eyes criticizes on a higher level than I’m enable to follow with amount of skills that now I have for the moment. I ain’t able to draw good enough for me to be pleased with the result, and it’s has been like this for over 5 months (around the time when  I worked on Under the Mountain , I think).

This is the reason I haven’t uploaded anything new for a while. I have been drawing a lot, actually more than ever. Almost every day, but I wouldn’t upload it if I wasn’t happy with what I made. So, yeah…..
Just to be clear, I am NOT quitting what i do. I still loves to draw, maybe not as much exactly right now, but still...You will have to be patient with me.  For now I will go back to some traditional art and leave Photoshop be for the moment. When all this is over I hope I’ll have got some improvements, and maybe also a brand new artstyle. We’ll see.

A last little sidenote: To the person who gave me some points for a premium membership. They will be used, but I'll wait til I'm more active again.
