None But Thou

O, thou art fairer than the evening air
Clad in the beauty of a thousand stars;
Brighter art thou than flaming Jupiter
When he appear'd to hapless Semele;
More lovely than the monarch of the sky
In wanton Arethusa's azur'd arms;
And none but thou shalt be my paramour!
-Marlowe

Pardon the Pessimist

Journal Entry: Thu Nov 19, 2009, 2:11 PM
Facebook l Gallery l dA Portfolio l Watch Me l Note Me

I've realized that the longer I endure college, the more I want to detonate myself when finals roll around. Just as I finished work to get ahead of schedule, one of my professors assigns our final thesis for class. It's due after break. I'm traveling over break. I have to finish the essay over the weekend.

If I was in my usual state (that is, triumphantly completing assignments days if not weeks before they were due), I'd be leaping into the heat of battle and theorizing all over Charles Brockden Brown. To my misfortune, I am not in my usual state. I finished my antibiotics for a sinus infection, only to become ill again. I'm in no condition to work.

I absolutely despise complaining. After all, I chose and adore my major (that would be English literature), but that doesn't save me any misery. It's hard to focus on what you love to do whenever you're running a fever so high that you start losing motor function. I'm not even sure if I'm blogging coherently right now.

Despite everything that's on my plate, I'm determined to finish this essay and somehow... get chapter four of Contumely written.

All I want is sleep. And maybe a handful of cheese crackers. Oh, and Alistair.

Love always :dead:

Once again just dropping by some love to tell you that I haven't forgotten you or anything, but my preoccupation with my own suckage is keeping me a bit distant from my lovlies here on DA :cry:

I WILL get you that image! :shakefist:

It was kind enough of you to offer drawing anything for me :) I'm more than patient. It isn't a commission, after all, and the fact that you're worried about even completing it for me shows that you genuinely want to do it :hug: If the character is tripping you up, try another one of the characters floating around in my gallery. Faustus and Helaine are much, much less demanding characters to draw :D

It isn't honestly the drawing so much as the waxing and waning of my ability to produce anything that doesn't piss me off or put me off, you know what I mean? XD My creativity and ambition is insanely temperamental right now, though I'm attempting to fix that. I just think I'll always be fighting it ;)

But either way, I will take another look at all of the others as well, because sometimes I end up doing everybody at once, even -- and that wouldn't be a bad thing either!

Yes, I hear you, honey :nod: Especially when I'm writing something, even if it's very inspired, I get so caught up in the language and the nuances that I lose my creative spark altogether. I find that the best way to coax your creativity out from hiding is to simplify things, whether it be using less superfluous vocabulary or trying to create more simple line art when designing characters ;)

Go ahead, browse the gallery. My older art is crap, but maybe you'll find something in there (I haven't posted anything worthy in a long, long time :blush:) Happy hunting!

You draw such cool styles, I love the pixel style. It's hard to draw them that way as good as you do.

Thank you! :blush: I'm so glad that you like my art.
