Okay, it really has been a while now.

I noticed that the last thing I uploaded was in March, and that was a coloured version of an older deviation. The last new original art that I uploaded was waaay back in February!

I think the PS3 has had drastic effects on my creativity. I've been playing 8 or 9 different games over the past few months, and enjoying every high defined moment of it :D while the Wii just gathers dust.

The biggest problem with doing new artwork is that it takes a lot for me to be inspired, and for me to actually go ahead with it long enough to actually be proud of it is another story.

It seems like its getting harder to be original, especially with such amazing stuff already out there.
In terms of an artistic style I guess I do just like to draw the same simple thing over and over until the page is overflowing with said simple thing.
I used to do this a lot when there wasnt much else to do.
I've found my life getting a lot busier, as I'm starting an apprenticeship at work, and my time is shared with someone else, whom I've been spending a lot of time with since the start of this year.

I found the time and inspiration to start another one of my Sonic fan comics but its doubtful I'll ever get around to finishing it.
I would much rather be doing something that is original and catches people's attention. Now that I've seen how amazing HD looks, the bar has been raised far too high for me to catch up to.

I'm going to keep thinking of something that might look cool, and if I stick to it, it may end up looking as good as I want it to.

My highest viewed deviations keep switching between the Kingdom Hearts Neoshadow Battle [link] and the South Park 8 animation [link] I did many many years ago.
Its nice to keep an eye on the art that people like the most, but it is strange to me that it happens to be those two. I was considering recolouring the Neoshadow picture, and possibly losing all those favourites in the process. I think the rough colouring suits it, but it could use some retouching.

If anyone has some suggestions or even (O_0) a commission, feel free to let me know.
If I know theres some demand out there that will definately give me some motivation to get something done.
