Description
this has been sitting on my comp for a couple weeks already. I was going to finish it and upload it by New Year's, but... I procrastinate. x_x;I thought I was going to have more to say about new beginnings and better things to come, and I was even going to make a journal post about it, but the words have gone now it seems. I'll keep this fairly brief, at least brief for me.
This year, I've resolved to throw out the cynicism, the fear, the self-hate, and any other dead weights that are keeping me from soaring, both in life and in spirit. [link]
Here's to 2010, and to you, my lovely watchers. Thank you a million times for deciding to watch me in the first place, and for sticking around and offering me your guidance, friendship, insights, and support -- silent or otherwise.
Stay classy.

Thank you for all of the lovely arts! This picture is really nice. It reminds me of how simple things were. Being an adult sucks. XD

Thanks!
And yeah, maybe, but there's no point in wishing for impossible things. All we can do is make the best out of what we're given, and that's pretty much my resolution this year.

That's a good resolution. Cx
And I really like the sketchy style the lineart has to it. And the light colors.

I'm happy you didn't 'finish' this or put more details in, the simplicity makes it simple and just helps enhance the point of innocense. I'm in love with this

<33 Thanks muchly. And yes -- in part due to the fact that I didn't feel like finishing it and I wasn't sure how to colour it exactly, but I like what I went with.

This is very symbolic.
While we're on the subject, I reckon a few changes in my own life are in order.

I don't think it's all that symbolic. xD There's a symbol yeah but I wouldn't call the picture symbolic. I don't really know what I'd call it. I would like to call it uplifting.

This is the first time I've really ever made one. When I was younger I would make them and then either forget them, not follow through, or both. So eventually I gave up. But it's time for a change, and new year's is a good excuse for one. I'm an adult out in the real world now and it is high time I started acting like it.
<333 Thanks much!

Heh Aww gosh! Inspirational speech right there! Almost made me get some ambition and pluck up the nerve to take on some Law papers as well as dancing this year! However, I think that may kill me dead. Well done though Is this your first year out of art school?

swift-whippet In reply to SplitPantha [2010-01-14 19:30:32 +0000 UTC]
Yes, and so far it's made me want to hide in a hole most days and not come out until things stop being so frightening. I need to get over that fear and try my best to be independent. Lots of things getting me down were dampening my creative spirit as well, and I realised I need to stop being afraid of failing. I hope that you successfully follow your own dreams.
