Art block continues...

Clubs | Fanart Challenges | Art status | Stuff


Hmm looks like I'm going on to my third month of not having submitted anything >.< No matter how hard I try to sketch and draw - on both photoshop and even on scrap paper- nothing is working out right for me. I guess it's the lack of both original ideas and also the drawing part itself and put both together = epic artist block fail DX! It's a real bummer too because there's so much new anime and manga fanart that I want to draw! Haha you'd think that would inspire me, but no it doesn't seem to be ^^; I've even tried drawing some Sailor Moon fanart, which usually never fails me, but it just doesn't work out right. It's really beginning to frustrate me to tears. It's not even that I'm super busy, it's easy enough to make time to draw, but I just never feel like doing it anymore as though it doesn't interest me much, though I know deep down it really does. I don't know what's wrong with me lately ;__;

I desperately want drawing to come back to me, but it's as though the harder I try the worse it turns out *sigh* so, I guess I might as well say that I'm officially on a hiatus until it comes back to me ;_; In the mean time, a friend of mine suggested that I continue to practice by drawing official images, which I'm not in favour of doing... but maybe that might spark something. I suppose that it'd also give me practice on drawing different characters that I've been wanting to draw fanart for. That is after all how I learned back in the day XD Hmm maybe I should start a secret sketchbook >.> That and I also tried vectoring and colouring manga images/icons, but even that doesn't seem to be working out for me, but it's good to at least keep up the practice of colouring ^^;

Anyway, that's the update on my lack of art status. But just so you know, I'm still around the site commenting and stuff~ maybe I should take this time to update all my clubs OTL

Well lets see~ you can call me amethyst-rose, by my real name or any nick-name you might find easier. I enjoy drawing anime/manga. I love crossovers (obviously my favourites are Kagome/Kurama and Usagi/Trunks), shoujo-ai, and a lot of alternate/crack pairings.

In most cases I prefer manga versions rather than the anime, and I have a lot that I like. My all time favourites are: Sailor Moon, Dragonball, Yu Yu Hakusho, Inuyasha, Full Moon wo Sagashite, Full Metal Alchemist, Bleach, Strawberry Panic!, Nana, and Vampire Knight. More favs include: Katekyo Hitman Reborn!, Pandora Hearts, Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~, D.Gray-man, and Kuroshitsuji. I also lovelovelove manga by Yuu Watase and Kaori Yuki. And I have an unhealthy obsession with CLAMP xD While I enjoy all their manga and artwork, my favourites are: Cardcaptor Sakura, X/1999, Tokyo Babylon, Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle, Kobato and xxxHolic.

What else? Well I'm told I'm quite nice and I'm easy to approach~ I don't always have time to reply to comments or thank you for favs/devwatches but I do my best. Please know that I do very much appreciate it all ^^
