This year's been unusually quiet for me, hasn't it?
Found some of my fanarts edited with the watermarks and signatures removed without my permission floating around on the internet. Not the first time it happens, but I cannot get used to it and I don't feel like sharing what I do anymore. Going on a wild goose chase across all sorts of obscure websites seems like a waste of my time; it's not worth the bother and it's not like my income is being negatively impacted by this anyways. I'd rather cut the supply chain and save on aspirins.
I tried moving on to different concepts and original ideas and I hated everything I was making.
I've barely drawn anything during the last couple of months, instead I've been focusing on furthering my career. I grew tired of the dull routine and giving my all in a position that, in the end, is disposable and easily replaceable. Technology is going to run me over if I don't adapt and quick.
Oddly enough, this new career path is fulfilling the same creative needs as drawing does and I find myself dedicating the same inhumane amount of hours to my studies without it feeling like a chore. I do hope this spark will transfer to my actual work once I get the promotion, because if it's anything like drawing, chances are I'll hate it the moment I'm told what to do and all the creative freedom is taken away.
Thank you for sticking around in this rather unproductive year, I'll force myself to post the next half-decent thing I make, whenever that happens. If you're fed up with waiting and wish to move on, no hard feelings and thank you again for dedicating a few seconds of your day to looking at my dumb doodles, it means the world.
