No I’m not dead for real.
To answer the first question that comes to mind; yes, I am still doing this distance from Deviant Art thing…
The second question; No I do not know for how much longer.
And the third question – which actually comes from my side – ‘does anybody miss me?’ well I can’t answer it for sure.
But I have encountered the definite recognition of my absence.
I feel open to tell you that I indeed, have thought about this a lot. I missed some of you, I missed the awesome pictures to view from my watchers and I feel some sadness about not being there…
But I am still serious about my break since I am experiencing much positive development in my art. I begin to realize things in paintings, anatomy and sketching that my mind has simply taken for granted for the past years. I learn that conveying the meanings, the feelings and symbolism of your art is not only dependend by your understanding of them. I begin to learn and study what is important to me in artworks and I’m trying to move in this direction more than to copy. But only through copying first, I can know what this artist wanted to convey to his or her audience.
And I’m having fun… much more fun than I had when I was doing stuff here… I guess if this won’t change; that I will be having much more fun in doing art through experimenting, studying and practising a different spectrum of art… then Deviantart won’t be a place for me in the near future. I am almost sure that it will last longer than over the Christmas days. If it will take months for me to be completely sure about my direction can’t be said. Right now, I feel like affirming this assumption but I can’t talk for my future self.
Anyway. No matter how rapid my potential leaving may be; I will NEVER let you, my watchers or readers be unaware about it. When I come to the decision that it’s it, that I won’t visit Deviantart anymore, I will let you know.
It is self explanatory that the last month has summoned a lot of sketches, though I liked the idea in the first place to make some kind of collaboration of them and post it here to show my progress, but that’d consume too much time and I believe that the two pictures I posted here earlier should be enough…
You know what, let’s post them here again to have some happy colours underlining my words…
The finished ones I didn’t upload are obviously not safe for work and should never be seen by nobody ever…
I guess you can say we’ll meet again at the end of November.
Until then, stay artistic and happy Halloween!
