Description
1 day to go.Hi guys, I'm so sorry about my absence. This is the last in my failure of a Hunger Games countdown. It's prim, essentially the catalyst in the whole trilogy.
Anywho... I feel the need to explain my absence, I gave myself a weekend off of the countdown, to enjoy some relaxation time and play through Mass Effect 3 (Yes, I have an opinion of the ending, but I won't bore you with it.) After said weekend I went back to work on the monday feeling revitalised, only to be pulled aside for a meeting with the store manager. For those of you whom don't know, I've been busting my ass in a shop since graduation trying to save money and get my portfolio done. I've been working 40 odd hours a week, doing favours for them left, right and centre. Any how, last week they pulled me aside and told me that they had to cut my hours, fair enough, I could use the time to get on with personal projects right? WRONG, they cut my hours down to 8 a week, spread across 2 days, which barely covers my travel costs. WAH!
So, I had to sacrifice the countdown to make way for portfolio work. Not that it's helped much, I've been so stressed out and anxious that I've fallen into an art block. I just don't like my work at the minute. Plus junior or student jobs in my industry in the UK are few and far between. I feel a bit like a waste of space. BLAH BLAH BLAH!!! Self pity aside, i'm not actually seeing the Hunger Games til next weekend, so until then have some prim.
It won't be my last hunger games piece. I enjoy the characters a lot, plus I feel like I owe my newest watchers some more, after the count down failure.

Why not try to go into graphic design/ illustration/drawing shit for people. Your artwork is pretty good.

Oh life! I completely understand the suckyness of it. At least you know what you want to do with your life. It could be worse, you could be like me just sitting around all confused and pitiful and not knowing what to do...anyway...
I like your style, its unique. And i love the way Prim came out.
And o good, you haven't seen it yet either. I was beginning to feel like i was the only one.

Eh, its just my own fault. I think I do know what I want. It's just not knowing how to go after it and being afraid that i'm not good enough. But I know I have to stop letting the fear hold me back because if I don't i'll just settle for something crappy and never be happy. (just feels easier said then done)
Anytime, love talking and getting to know the people behind their art.

awww she's a cutie this one
andi, no worries about the countdown, i think you were pushing yourself a bit too hard with them anyway, and portfolio work is important .. but don't let it stress you out there's no 'deadline' and opportunities, although not as common as we like, will continue to come along.
anyway sorry for teh rant >< i think this i lovely, as always and i was so happy when it appeared in my inbox!
