keaaluJust some little Dauntless-related doodlings. I badly need to get my site back up and running properly, though, as all my Dauntlessy things are scattered over the web all scattery-like. Which saddens me. :( ANYWAY.
ARTSES!
Slate...as a cow. :P No, I don't know why either - for some reason I thought a cow would be something vaguely interesting to scribble on an old practice exam question and the expression just made it him, so... go figure. :P
And these are seng - Vulpeculan "lizard dogs". They've been around in my fiction for years but I've never managed to draw them how I liked, until now. The weaselly one at the bottom pleases me also - there's bright patches on the underside of its hood that you only see when it goes "RAR". And FUZZY LEGS, woohoo!
Edit: On a completely unrelated note, I feel... disheartened. :( Obviously my art/writing is just boring to 99.99(recurring)% of people (i.e except me). I know, I know, my fiction is very people-oriented and not much exciting ever seems to happen, but I'm getting better at it. :P But only three or four people read it, and the effort, the blood sweat and tears and hours and hours of labour I put in sometimes, hardly seem worth it. So maybe I should just give up. *collapses*

Date: 15 May 2006 06:37 am (UTC)No, wait, I've got it - they seem so familiar/real. As if there could be one sitting next to me right now. I can guess exactly what they're like, just from looking at this. I'm probably wrong, but it puts the idea right in my mind...
I'm losing focus on the point again. I'm partly of the theory that the things most worth doing are done for the self, not for others. The rest of me, and the majority, is a show-off. I know what it means to both have an audience and be without.
My say is limited, because I lie on the receiving end. Thus any opinion I'd give would only be selfish (and you already know I like your stuff. Though it still can't hurt to remind you). It is something for the artist, the critics, and the historians to decide.
But all this does is focus on me.
The question becomes: Are you willing to put as much effort into finding readers as you are in putting together your work?
Granted, this isn't necessarily the writer's/artist's job. That is why publishers/agents were created....
My selfish opinion? Keep going. I enjoy your stuff too much to let it die now.
Nice Slate cow, by the way. I see him thinking, "If she keeps me this way..."
