Amazing Things

3 min read
So something really amazing happened to me this weekend. I managed to make it up to Anime Boston for days two and three despite all of the problems I've had lately with money and other things. I owe it all to :iconeternaljustice002: and her boyfriend :iconokami-ventris: For giving me a room to stay in and just making the whole time that I was actually there just a good time for me, and that was something I needed desperately with all the stress I've been under. In all seriousness, they'll never know how thankful I am for what they did for me this weekend. I've never realized how much someone's cared about me like they showed they do this weekend. It really is an amazing feeling.

Of course it wasn't without it's problems too. Getting there was an issue as a fire had shut down not only the train station I normally get off at but the station before it as well, causing me to ride the train all the way to South Station in Boston, which that in itself cost me more money by being a longer train ride. From South Station I tried taking a taxi to the convention center only for the cab driver to take me to a completely different convention center in the opposite direction, causing me to need to take a second taxi to the correct place which ended up costing me far more money than I should have needed. Because of all of this I ended up with even less money for the con than I began with.

The ride home was just as problematic as well. The train station I usually arrive and leave from was up and running again but the train ended up being 20 minutes late in addition to being about an hour ride in itself. By the time I got home, because I hadn't taken the weekend off from work due to not having intended to go originally, I didn't end up getting back until about a half hour before I needed to go to work. And of course when I managed to get back to my house from the train station my entire yard was filled with cars because my landlord had people over for Easter, leaving only a small spot for me to park. Before I could even step inside my house someone walked out telling me I had to move so that two of the cars could get out and because of that I was only given enough time to change out my bags for my work bag and then was rushed out of my house to work almost instantly. Causing me to be at work a half hour early and use the money I had saved for gas on dinner instead since I hadn't been given a chance to eat or ask for food money before leaving.

Problems

3 min read
I'm having a really big problem as far as my time on DA is concerned and I really don't know what to do about it short of just leaving the site. Of course I know I won't be able to do this because the art I find here is just too good to keep me away from wanting to look at it. And I'm the kind of person who can't stand backup in terms of an overflowing feed of new pics from the people I watch.

There's someone here who I follow that I've known for a few years and I really like as a person. Lately they've had to take a lot of time away from the site and their art and that isn't something I can fault them for and I in no way hold against them. But my problem is that since I met that person and even with all the times they disappear from the site they still continue to improve tremendously in huge leaps and bounds. And I feel happy about it for them and feel I can see their passion for their art in that development but at the same time I'm jealous and maybe even down-right envious of them because of it. I look at their art as it continues to evolve and think to myself just how great it is, but then I look at my own work and feel nothing but loathing and anger towards it and myself. I'm still at the level I was when I started the site. Almost 7 or 8 years ago I think. If anything my art seems to have gotten worse over the years.

I understand part of it is that I'm not getting to draw much and most of that is due to my own self confidence and embarrassment at my subjects I draw and the references I use that I don't want to draw with other people around or awake to walk in on me and see it. But I don't know what to do anymore. I don't want to be mad at this person for a stupid reason like this. I want to be able to talk with them and not feel awkward about who I'm talking with or jealous of the other people who get to interact with that person. I don't want to leave DA but I just have no idea anymore.

Questions

Since I don't know how to do polls, let alone if I can do them at all, I'll be asking this the old fashioned way with a (good?) ol' journal post.


Should I attempt to try and do commissions again? I've tried it before but nobody has ever actually taken the time of day to even look at the previous journals that I offered them in. (Not like I expected anyone to anyway. Doubt this one will go noticed either honestly.) But I could use a little extra money for my upcoming LARP sessions and getting together the stuff I'd like to have for them so I wanted to ask if it'd be worth it to you guys for me to offer commissions again and if you'd be willing to take me up on them. I'd also like to ask, if you do decide you'd like me to do commissions, what you'd be willing to pay for them?

You've all probably looked at my gallery once or twice by now and noticed I can't really do anything super fancy. I'd like to think I'm getting better but I don't know....

Well, that's all. Let me know what you think if you felt like reading this.

Copied from :iconkaytheyatagarasu:
Rules: 
The first 15 people to comment on this journal, I will put their avatar and the deviations I like most from their gallery on the list!
-If you comment, you have to do the same in your journal, putting me in the first spot.
-The idea of this is not to get a free feature, it is to spread art around for everyone! If you don't re-do it you will be taken off the list.

(You'll need to forgive me for not knowing how to put images in this)

1. :iconkaytheyatagarasu: kaytheyatagarasu.deviantart.co… (where we first started talking) kaytheyatagarasu.deviantart.co… (My first art trade with her and where I feel we became friends) kaytheyatagarasu.deviantart.co… and kaytheyatagarasu.deviantart.co… (Possibly my most favorite pics from her)

2. :iconcrocodile-kuro: crocodile-kuro.deviantart.com/… (I just love this story and how he managed to give Kay-chan's pic life) 
crocodile-kuro.deviantart.com/… (It involves me, I know. I just don't get my characters featured in much and how he depicted them made me oh so very happy) crocodile-kuro.deviantart.com/… (Where I was first included in one of his stories. It made me unbelievably happy and still does) crocodile-kuro.deviantart.com/… (I know it's only supposed to be one but this whole series is what got my introduced to him in the first place)

3.  :iconkeyblade-11: keyblade-11.deviantart.com/art… (Because an adorable Kay-chan is adorable) keyblade-11.deviantart.com/art… (because I totally have that Chespin plushie xD) keyblade-11.deviantart.com/art…
