Description
This is an angry art rant stuffz! You been warned!Just a quick batman I did for fun,
Decided to chill and get down to business and stop being a bitch,
I'm not where I want to be,
But I'm sure as hell not where I fucking use to be - I could be further along if I'd just do more and think less.
I've done enough thinking for a hundred life times - which is why I am also as frustrated as if I've lived a hundred life times.
I've had enough of this over-thinking shit - this picture marks my proof that I have improved,
It also marks the first day where I become accountable to the dreams I have.
For those of you who have me on watch and fave this,
I invite you to join me on my journey as I begin to work my way up to become an industry worthy artist,
So I can get into companies like Blizzard, EA, Bungie, etc as a concept artist,
Wednesday 08/20/14 marks the first day of my commitment to my dreams that they deserve.
Hope you'll join me!
My first in many weekly streams to come: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQ1lVm…
Come and join!

Hey!
Thanks for the faves and watch!
Yeah, the struggle is tough - for me it's been a tornado of issues,
from wanting to get better to wanting to draw x,y or z proficiently,
to not wanting to wait a year to have some elite skills - or scratch the surface of it at least.
For me,
This Batman picture was just me starting to draw w/o an outcome,
Batman came in accidentally and the feel/quality of the picture was accidental as well.
It made me realize that I am improving, but not recognizing myself for the progresses that I make,
Also that I'm not sticking to any one subject matter long enough to get better at it,
I want to be able to make EVERYTHING - from characters, to environments, to vehicles, and then also do 3D modelling...
At the end of it all it's just a way to escape from the task at hand - whatever that may be -
So - my little rant that went with this picture has to do with the fact that I've come to terms with the fact that I will forever suck,
UNLESS!~ I actually stick to one subject matter and study the shit out of it for 6 months very intensely - this will allow me to get the foundation I need in the subject matter,
Once that's completed I can move onto another subject matter to study while maintaining the first subject that I now have a handle on.
So far I keep dabbling and not making real progress anywhere,
So now I am going to sit down and make my road map for the next year, month by month, week by week with deadlines for myself,
Some of the tasks will include doing a weekly youtube ~ it will all be about improving and dissecting my chosen subject matter.
Also to build a fan base as I want to make a living off of my art and also get some gigs with concept art for game studios,
So that is my plan now - it's always been my plan - I've just accepted that I have to do the hard work, get the basics right, fundamentals straightened out,
And I've also sought out professionals to bounce ideas off of - like mentors in a sense to help guide me.
There's a sense of reality now to my endeavor since I found some professionals who are willing to help me out,
But there have been a number of factors that have converged onto me recently that have made me "grow up" so to speak.
Let me know if my explanation helps you in any way,
I welcome you to join me as I begin my journey and I will keep everything updated and begin the livestreams - the first one will be this weekend,
Friday night most likely (I'm in California so I'm in PST) around 8-9pm.

Spread the word if you can, it'd be cool to have a bit of a crowd.

Oh absolutely, it's all about focus. Focusing on the next phase or project or even the next stroke, though that can be the hardest part, especially when you've got a stack of things you wanna do and can't always help seeing them as a whole. At least for me, I have such a fickle attention span and short fuse. And Batman here does seem raw and kind of open I guess. Like, there's no plan just possibilities. Sort of a metaphor for it's self. Um... I suppose. I'll definitely be watching Friday so, lookin forward to it.

Batman came out of no where,
I began with just a simple base - but after reviewing the picture I've found it holds a lot of emotion for me,
I was thinking about some heavy stuff, maybe on a subconscious level as well,
To me this picture holds all that weight that was on my mind, it's like the weight got transferred to this picture and I'm able to see it in there,
It was accidental and very important for me, now that this weight came off of me, it's like I worked through a huge issue I've had till now,
Now that it's resolved I can move forward with clear intent and focus.
I think so much of wanting to do art has to do with understanding the self that if you don't understand the self it's near impossible to do art,
I'm looking forward to the stream myself, it'll be episode 00 - should be fun, and I look forward to seeing you there.
Hopefully through my streaming I will be able to stay on my path and help others along the way,
This time feels very different and I feel I've finally begun understanding myself and accepting what I want, and am willing to go over hell and high water for real now,
Lets see where we go from here!
