Blleearrrgh.
So I haven't uploaded anything in awhile.. I'm stuck in a rut where I'm vaguely unhappy with everything I do. I want to take my all-digital stuff to the 'next level,' (i.e., I'd like to produce stuff that looks less sketch-like), but I keep trying different approaches to "finish" a piece and can't seem to settle on something that:
1) I like the look of
2) isn't so frustrating to execute that I end up hating the process completely.
:scream: (what? that isn't an emoticon? it should be. along with :tearinghairout: and :stompingincircles: )
I'm thinking I should doodle for awhile, pressure-free. Get over the "waaaah"s. Have y'all ever gone through this? Come out the other side (hopefully?)

Howdy, DeviantArt
It's been awhile. How've you been?
I've been reading fantasy novels, making websites (day job, yo), obsessing over Outlander tweets, and discovering how much I like brussels sprouts. (Spoiler: a lot. I like them a lot. Who knew?) There was a Hunger Games movie in there. Oh, and Thor. I watched all of "Arrow" in three days. You have failed this city.
So, tell me. What've you been up to?
