First day back to working on personal work and I find problems with what was already in progress. I know people were a fan of this image in the earlier stages, but I don’t like the pose nor how the chair is in relation to her. I’m not quite sure what exactly is odd with the pose, nor how to fix it. A complete redo is in order.

Maybe I might try a new composition, although it may not look it, I did spend a good amount of time on this and sad to see it go unfinished. Hopefully my next try will look better. I would like some thoughts on this from others, maybe what to look out for when I make the next image. I don’t know.

I’m so tired, stayed up until 4 in the morning last night working on make up work and packing to go back home. All that after running around all day and stressing out like no other. Had no sleep because all the sheets are gone and I was so fucking cold. 3 days with about 4 hours of total sleep. Now I need to stay awake until 6 am tomorrow morning so I can catch my flight.

But the good news is, I passed all my classes in this hell semester.

I want to go home, crash on my bed, and sleep until forever.

All finals done!

Thu, 16 May 2013 22:54:46 -0400

All that remains is one assignment of makeup work and a test tomorrow. Then I’m freee.

One Week Left!!

ALL THE FINALS

Does anyone hate you?

Not that I know of.

A song that’s been stuck in your head:

Well, the last song that I remember being stuck in my head was “A True, True Friend”, but that was a while ago.

How are you?

I’m good. I streamed some video games earlier, going to get some homework done soon.

What is your favorite thing to do?

Go on walks or bike rides and think of plot and story ideas, characters, etc.

What kind of music you like?

All sorts: trance, European power metal, Celtic folk music, independent rock, rock, and others

You’re an Action Movie Hero. What’s your weapon of choice and the line you scream when defeating your arch enemy?

A sick long sword. Line I’d scream: “AAAAAAAAAAAAA!” I’m not good at screaming dialogue.

I finished all these answers, then while adding a tag, most of it got deleted. Such is life in the zone.

Some sketches for MLPG, I’ll work more on the superhero pegasi image later.

People wanted angry pony, and then angrier. 100 posts on Tumblr now, yay! I’ll post stats to bench mark it next post.

Personal work: ded for about a month

Quick update:

Homework is super crazy right now, I haven’t worked much on The Backgrounders since I streamed a while ago. Personal work (Rarity and Nuzlocke image) and The Backgrounders on pause until the semester is over on the 17th of May.

The only thing I’m updating right now is my twitter: https://twitter.com/NateDimock, if you want to know how I’m doing, look no further than there.

goattrain said: You should draw more people (or just draw more).

I’m working on both, during the summer I plan on being a lot more active. School has been beating me senseless with homework load, being in the last third of the semester will do that. I’ll be drawing more people as well, maybe some human ponies, or I might take a spin at creating a unique Anon.

Another WIP for something I’m working on. This is based off my old Nuzlocke comic “Nate’s Nuzlocke Adventure” that I worked on in 2011. I’ve done enough work on it this weekend, I have homework to do. I guess trying to recreate something from my past reinvigorated my personal human drawing skills. (Way too many realistic style humans, no cartoony)

Trying to create human characters.

Haven’t tried to make a decent looking one in so long.

I have no strong feelings about you one way or the other. I don't have any weak feelings about you either. You have perfectly slipped in to the deadband of apathy for me.

In light of recent financial trouble, I’m opening for commissions, while I continue job-searching.

Donations are also welcome and very much appreciated.

Trying to make sure more people see this.

Art-Anon is a bro. Buy a draw from him!

Do it, buy art from this man. It’s good stuff.

I'm extremely jealous of you.

Anonymously tell me how you feel about me. I can't reply, I just have to read it and post it.

Alright, let me have it.

Yeah, I’m drinking right now, perfect time for me to do this. My morbid curiosity is high enough.

I was traumatized, and didn't know it.

Fri, 29 Mar 2013 23:42:36 -0400

So yesterday a revelation came to me in the form of my brother’s figure drawing teacher.

(This is very long)

My brother had a midterm review yesterday and had a one on one with his teacher on how he’s doing. He didn’t have all his homework in but he had great in class work—like me—and worried about it all the time. He even mentioned that he almost had a panic attack turning in his unfinished master copy. During the one on one, he told his teacher about TAD and the pressure that he and I went through. About how when we didn’t get work in, or if it wasn’t near perfect, one teacher would berate us. It would make us scared to even turn something in and over the years of being in the school, we accepted that. The problem was, it affected both of us during the first seven weeks of school—afraid to try since it wasn’t good enough, afraid of what we would get verbally in class. Those times of berating never came, but we always accepted it.

My brother’s teacher knew the teacher that he was talking about, and promptly called him an asshole. He talked about how just working on art was the most important thing, just do it. All the teachers want us to succeed and will help you out and not bring you down to a place where you don’t want to work. The teacher told him: “This all makes sense now (the late or mostly unfinished work, but good classwork), you must have been traumatized.”

My brother told me this story last night and it felt like my mind was clear. I never thought that I small amount of words could change my outlook on life and drawing. All of a sudden, I wasn’t afraid to go to class in the morning. I wanted to make a blog post about it last night, but I wanted to see if this was just getting rid of another excuse, or something that was truly bothering me mentally.

Today in class was fantastic. I came into class with a barely finished perspective illustration, my teacher just told me to finish it—no malice in his voice like usual—and it should be good. I worked harder than I ever did. I let myself make mistakes, owned everything I did. Towards the end of the class, my teacher looked at my work and just gave me a thumbs up. I was swelling with pride.

After class, my brother and I went to the library and did some of our homework, it was great. I got an entire anatomy chart finished, and I started it today!

I hope this means that I’ll also be more confident in posting my work online and promoting my work. Lately in the general, I’ve been posting only artwork (The Backgrounders page and the WiP painting) and immediately leaving, not looking at the feedback, not responding to anything. I haven’t even posted anonymously because I didn’t want to bother anyone with my occasional (in my mind) shitposting. (Not posting art, talking about drawing or people in the general, not taking requests or finishing what requests I already had, etc)

Who knows, maybe I’ll stream again someday. For now though, I have some homework and personal work to confidently work on.
