Made a video again :P...another fake Parashi Opening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGa8pPlOxuQ
It's really choppy and suuuuuper scribbly because I took like 30 seconds to draw each frame. Please fill in the gaps and gloss over the art with your wonderful imagination! I made it in Windows Movie Maker which is an absolutely evil program =o=
I'll try to fix up the ugly pictures and maybe add some color when I have time, and reupload another version later :b (don't know when though.) For now feel free to watch this one and laugh at it huhuhu

Eurovision nightGot myself some ice cream and will be making myself compfy on the sofa so I'm ready for the big, glittery, horrible music, camp, pointless politics, drama that is eurovision. It never disappoints me.

Sadly I will be alone for this one. Matt had to do a concert he didn't want to do, so I will be live tweeting (humonlazydiva) my impression of the whole shebang.

The Echo chamber dilemmaThe promise of the Internet was that unlimited information and experiences would draw us together. But instead it seems to have driven us apart.
For years I've observed this behavior but haven't been able to vocalize it correctly. Originally I called the behavior of collective opinions as "the hive mentality" of the Internet. But that wasn't exactly right and I often got called out on it. The most prominent example was when I made a comic about a guy disagreeing with opinions and being shouted at till he remained quiet, eventually fading into the background with everyone else. The consensus of that comic was that if you disagree with someone you aren't bullied into not speaking, but instead are free to go someplace else where people who do agree with you exist. And you know what? That wasn't what i was trying to convey, but is sadly true. The Internet is not a hive mind. It's many tiny pocket echo chambers of mutual agreements.
And this is becoming a growing problem, I think, because n

...on my previous journal! (journal titles are so short, dammit).

I want to let you know I'm reading all the comments and try to reply to all of them but I'm not sure I can, since many people said the same thing, so I'm clarifying here...
I'm trying so hard to get over it, but it's a really bad period and it's impossible to get over it since it's lasting for months now.
BUT I'm trying to solve the artblock using some expedients because without drawing I don't feel human anymore.
My first thought was the '100 Themes challenge'. I was in the group since 2009 but I never finished it, I just made some pieces like 'Playing with fire', 'Hunger' and others (you may not remember them because they're so old and not in my gallery anymore).
So, I checked the group

and then I found out they made a new App ([link]) that will help you in randomly choosing a theme in a particular variation or in all af them and it remember the themes you've completed and the one you skipped.

I really had my inspiration back! You should try it!

Other news:
- I fixed the problems with my Paypal account and it's working now, but I must wait until January before taking commission because I have too many deadlines for projects in December (half before Christmas!).
- I'm fixing my teeth so I'm wearing braces and they hurt so much, but I'll survive. LOL
- I'm also slowly replying to notes...-_-' Please understand me, I have things to do.

I hope that you can find your path in your art i really like pieces that shows emotions and i feel that when i saw your gallery and you already demonstrates that you are versatile in what you draw. and if you already have find your style thats a big help really

well i had a peek at 100 theme chalenges and i think i will try too xD because artbloks sucks so i will try it, i hope that can help me too

Thank you for sharing

=ElephantWendigo Dec 8, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Thank you. And you're very welcome!

~mindbender Dec 6, 2012

I remember when I first found your art work. It was a drawing of Simon and I just fell in love and I've been watching your work since. I understand what you are going through with the mental block, because I kinda feel the same way. Graduated and now I feel like what am I to do with my life now that school is over? Well block or not, you just gotta keep going forward because life continues. I still feel weird and not entirely sure of what direction I'm going, but hey I'm going somewhere.

Also Art is like Life, its not exactly just yours. Once you share it, it is everyone's and I would be sad if you took it away. Your art makes me happy. Especially your *ahem* explicit stuff heh. So please dont give in, stay strong, and know me and many others are here for you.

=ElephantWendigo Dec 8, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Thanks a lot for your support, really. <3

~mindbender Dec 9, 2012

You are worth it

~BillietheKat Dec 6, 2012

I think it's a pretty common thing for artists to be very critical of their own work. I remember looking at one of your submissions earlier this year, January to be exact. [link]

I was blown away by how you had improved in just 2 months. I practiced for hours and hours but since I was a perfectionist I never finished anything. I had no motivation and I've hardly drawn anything in years.

You have such talent, it would be so sad to miss out on your work. I hope you find your inspiration and get back in our groove soon

=ElephantWendigo Dec 6, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Thanks a lot, really!

*xxxRokitaxxx Dec 5, 2012

Maybe you are trying too hard and that is the problem. I mean, I do not know your situation, but maybe you should step back relax and take it easy and in no time you will be drawing again. I understand it is not easy especially that you are really good and people expect certain things from you but what do you want? did you ever think about what you want to do? what is your goal? What do you want to create? Maybe before making everybody happy you should concetrate on yourself and what you want and need.

I am not saying to turn into a snob that does not give a damn about anything or anyone but rather to take some brakes every once in a while. Maybe you really do need it.

I am sorry if you will find this offensive that is not my intent.
I relly do hope every thing will work out for you~

=ElephantWendigo Dec 5, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

This is not offensive. I completely agree with you. Thank you really!

*xxxRokitaxxx Dec 5, 2012

I really hope it will work out for you.
Take care, be good, if you can not be good be careful.
And don't worry too much because that's life
