Commission reminder and winding down question.

Mon Aug 24, 2009, 3:57 PM
I still have 2 slots open for commissions if you're interested, please read my last entry: [link] -SLOTS ARE FULL for this round. :3

I'm not yet done with the warrior painting, but hope to be within the week. I got a lot of great critiques and help, so thanks everyone for your comments and suggestions. I really want to learn this stuff and I do need a lot of things pointed out to me often! I might start uploading some more WIPs to dA because when I ask for critiques elsewhere, I didn't really get much, but we'll see.

Anyway, winding down from it still, I've had to draw some other stuff to take a break from paying attention and trying to make things look "right". I've recently come to realize that when I am winding down from something big I tend to draw my characters and my friends characters. Usually BL and usually porn (haha). Mainly because instead of paying attention to having colors and anatomy spot on I just want to make it look sexy and have fun with it. 8D It's just cathartic and relaxing to me.
I drew this the other day: [link] WOOKIE...the uncut version is on my ygal account (ninjamelii). But yeah.

Anyway the actual questions of this entry are these:
What do you do to wind down from a big art project? Smaller more personal art? Do you take a break from art altogether? Is there something you do artistically that is cathartic and fun and calming for you?




I need to keep putting this up over and over until I actually do this stuff because otherwise I WILL FORGET.

Hmm...I usually do something that I haven't done in awhile, like sign online and talk to people again, draw fanart, or read something (like a book, a comic, or -whispers- fanfic).

And other times I go a little crazy in the head and uh, push myself to draw more nice things.

When I'm done with my chunk of writing I usually set it aside for about a week, in which I usually read my backlog of books and manga, fanfics. I also remember I own a PS3 and renew my vows of love and devotion while making empty promises to finish my game backlog. After that I end up editing it, then not touching it for a month. Right now, I've actually been in a dry spell, barely touching my novels (*whispers* and I've lost one of my notebooks with a novel in it...D:).

My cathartic thingie is writing fanfics. I use it to break writing blocks and experiment with plots. Also, its easier to take a story you know and play in it's sandbox.

Thanks for the Wookie art. I can't wait to look at the uncensored version when I get home!
