Slump, slump, slump...
My camera doesn't even look good to me this week.
Have a brilliant idea I'd like to start on, but feeling a bit buried under a couple of (what I thought were simple) commissions.
I ride the inspiration / demotivation roller coaster a bit these days. It's a thrilling ride when it really gets rolling, but the conductor tends to fall asleep at the controls a lot and I'm left at the top of the really good hills sometimes for far too long.

Food for thought
Thanks to ~ashigaru (https://www.deviantart.com/ashigaru) for passing this along, and to Mark Brooks for speaking his mind.

"Mark Brooks, aka :icondiablo2003: is an excellent and well known comic book artist. He just posted a very insightful journal on his DA page.
I would advise everyone to read and reflect on his experience at NYCC. Then ask yourself how we, as artists, designers, and creative people, can change this from being the "norm"."
Skyejcb...not for adults anymore?
Very few of my commentors seem to be above the 13-23 age bracket. I've got to ask...does anyone know WHY?
What would YOU do?
In the past, a few of my fellow Deviants have used me as a model for their own work. I didn't realize how many until I tallied them up today, so I'd like to draw a little more traffic to their galleries and showcase their work by directing you to these pieces:
~fizzfoam (https://www.deviantart.com/fizzfoam) Fizzfoam's "Jen"
:iconathenatt: AthenaTT's "Skyejcb Portrait"
:icongarmr: Garmr's "Would you give me the time?"and "Digression"
:iconfairyoffire: Fairyoffire's "Chaos Is Company" (photo: click for detailed view) and "Flirty Elf"

I went a few weeks(ok, more than that really) and did nothing.
then one day i was browsing thru DA and came across a photo that was so captivating that i could not get enough of it. i found myself drawing it.
although it did not do the original justice, it got me out of my rut. i posted a request to the Model/Photogragher asking permission to put it in my gallery.
she said no. at first i was very disapointed, i really like it, but then i decided to do another using someone elses photo and getting permission. it came out nice. although the first of these two will never see the light of day, If it weren't for her deep dark eyes, i would still be in my rut.
