I should be sleeping. I feel tired, but I'm not ready to sleep. Feels like there's something else I should be doing. I would like to draw more, but I'm not sure what to do and I already have another project I should be working on.
Still, I want to redesign Teka's look. And with that would come Orchid's as well. It's been so long since I paid any attention to my two main characters. The look was originally modeled after Blade, after I had seen the movie. Back then it was really cool and something I hadn't seen before. Then The Matrix came out and everyone and his dog started wearing a trench coat and shades. On one hand it's a shame that a really good look has been so overdone, but on the other, it's a great motivation to make things even better. Just wish I had an idea...
My current project is coloring something I've already drawn. So many people around here make it look so easy while I'm struggling with it. It's a bit frustrating, but I'm looking forward to that moment when I finally get something, I can say that I learned something, and it becomes that much easier for me too. That just happened for digitally inking lineart. Until this drawing I always had trouble with the pen tool in Photoshop, but this time, it didn't take too long before I caught on. It took a while, but now I can't wait to ink more of my lineart.
This last drawing is the first in over a year that I've really been able to draw, and I can proudly say I did my best. For now. There are still things I need to work on, but since it's also a gift for a friend, I'm glad that I can say that at the time, it was the peak of my skill. I just wish my coloring weren't so much worse than my drawing.
Another thing I would really like to do is get back to my writing. If I could do anything with my life, I would like to publish my story which features such characters like Teka, Orchid, Rydax, and Vashaar. Just wish I knew where to start...
I'm not sure this journal entry has much of a point. If nothing else, I guess it helped to organize my thoughts. And it's a bit of an update on things related to this page, for anyone who might happen to care. I hope I can show you guys more of what I've been talking about pretty soon. For now, signing off.

Reconstruction
Well I finally decided to take a look at this site again, after so many years. I was inspired by going to pictures friends linked from here, and then noticing that I was still signed in a had about 50 bajillion messages. So I just finished uploading a lot of old stuff I found on my computers, so at least people know I exist. The other reason I did that is that I like how it displays the improvement I've made over the years. You can see there is a HUGE difference between my recent work and those from back around in 2000. Your eyes will be in great danger if I ever find my original drawings of Teka from back in 1998. I will actually have some N
w00t! Or something...
I am celebrating my 1 002 page views. Hooray!
*Sigh.*
What do you do when you need some serious cheering up and you don't know why, and you don't want to whine about it to everyone? Well, I guess I let it out on DeviantART since no one looks at my page anyway. Heh.
Crap! I forgot people watch these things. Oh well. Everyone knows how it feels.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrness!
Why does it seem like none of the pixel art shows up here? It's not just me, is it? I can't see them anywhere. Stupid DeviantART...
