Well, I've done it again. I've let it slip. My attempt to make myself a better artist and such. Et cetera. So as of right now (that is, sometime tomorrow if I have time and remember to) I'm going to start practice drawing. I'm thinking still-life and landscapes, since those were always my most favorite subject matters when I was taking regular art courses. I'm very much an avid fan of the Hudson River School of Art and, even though Thomas Cole is a douche and his homestead is one of the worst places in the world to do an archaeological dig, I do enjoy that period very much.

I do not have many followers to this. I'm mostly a lurker and even then, my status as a Deviant is a literary writer. This is true. I'm attempting to gather the energy and resources necessary to pull together a high-fantasy novel of sorts. I'm not sure how well it is going to go, since I am a fan of traditional fantasy and this world and this story I'm writing about is very much..not.

I'm going to be commissioning art requests out to some of the artists I know for this project, as official art of sorts. Those that do not have a Deviant Art I will ask their permission to post to my DA account, with the appropriate copyrights, so if this gets off the ground expect to see that, too.

As soon as I can overcome my depression, I feel that the dam that is blocking my creativity will spew forth in filthy deluge fitting a sewage backup. But it'll be there and running. Here's hoping.
