Hey folks. No real updates at the moment but I did promise in my last post I was going to plug my friends so I'll take the time to do that now.

If you're new and passing through take the time to check out these folks. They are friends, or artists I like. No particular order.

There's one of you I didn't put up because I didn't think you wanted the attention. If I'm wrong just let me know and I'll put you back up. You know who you are. I think I got everyone. Enjoy.

I've been doing a lot of abstract painting lately. Extremely abstract. No brush, no paint, no canvas. I just think about it.
~DestroyahDes:iconDestroyahDes: Jun 29, 2008, 6:07:20 AM
Thank you. I listen to many styles too. Metal is just my favorite. But I also love techno, classical, 80s and Andean. Though Andean mostly gives me visions of natural places. And yes nature is always a great source of inspiration.

I think I've only been drawing backgrounds and such since 2003 though I've been drawing much longer. My latest drawing which isn't up yet is pretty neat with a city in the backgroun. It is up on my journal though. The link is below if you want to check it out. But keep practicing. It does take time. I'm still no expert at it and when I first started I wasn't good. I don't put up my bad art so no one will see how bad I was when I started out. So don't feel bad. It's normal and the more you do it the better you'll get.

Amazing. I get inspiration from the music I listen to as well. I enjoy metal music myself, but every now and then I switch it up.

I try to get ideas from nature myself. Animals and plants can sometimes make good 'blueprints' so to speak.

But, I am also a techno nerd with a love for computers and video games.

I read too. Anything from large novels to comic books.

However, you can draw your characters in scenes, based on the stories you have come up for them.

That's something I need to work. I mainly just profile my characters. Though, I need to stop being lazy and just write out the story I have for them in my head.

Ah, I'm surprised you didn't just say, "You're welcome." You know how the conversations go.
"Nice stuff."
"Thanks"
"You're welcome."
lol.

I have many inspirations but my main one is Metal music. I have some of the bands I listen to listed in my profile. I draw inspiration from that but I also spend a lot of time thinking and reading. Science books are a big help as well as the stuff I studied in school. I also get ideas when I'm just out and about in nature. Then sometimes stuff just strikes me out of the blue and I have to write or draw what I've had flash into my mind. This is actually a hard question for me to answer. I'd say music and just thinking a lot. I try to see the problem from all angle and that really helps.

You're quite welcome. Now, I am quite curious. How do create these characters of yours?

Rather, what is your muse? I sometimes find it difficult to weave stories well between my own creations.

Oops I don't think I described them very well. They're made of wood and flat. They don't have tails and a budgie shaped painted with budgies details lol. Underneath they have bells and wooden balls hanging from ropes. The budgies are supposed to chew on them and rip them up.

Hum perhaps we should start this conversation over at the top since it's going off the page lol.

n-n;; Those are meant to be surrogate partners for budgies who don't have a real housemate. I find them a little sad... But if you found some pretty ones unlike the creepy ugly ones in the pet stores around where I am, then that's cool. xD;;

Hehe, I love budgie shapes. I bought some toys for my birds one that were shaped and painted like budgies. But they were so cute I didn't want my birds to destroy them so I kept them for myself as wall ornaments lol.

Yes, yes they are. I always wonder why the shape of humans is so horribly weird compared to that of our perfect, smooth, blobby budgies. @w@ <3

Hello. Glad you like the budgie icon. Yes budgies have a weird way of enchanting us don't they. I have a budgie and bird section of my gallery. Feel free to look around it.

HELLOOO fellow budgie/bird lover! 8D (I have four budgies and they make up LARGE PIECES OF MY SOUL.) I saw your avatar and was liek "awwwh I need to click it! <3" all the while the inbuilt hypnotism device made me tilt my head. As a matter of fact I still haven't untilted it, because that budgiewudgie is still on the screen and by I don't know what power is doing this to me. D8

Lol, you stupid bitch.

You can block me as many times as you want, but I'll keep coming back.

Also, I'm a better artist than you. I just don't need to prove it. I can see it, thats all that matters.

Now, You can deny it all you want, but I know its going to eat you up inside. Especially since, according to your logic, anything I say as a better artist than you is pretty much bullet proof to anything you might say.

And its pretty much this: You are a decent artist. Not bad, but not good. You are mediocre. Nothing special, and you never will be. Your drawings lack that certain something that make people sit up and really enjoy a piece. You will never be respected in the artistic industry, and your attitude will cause you to be ostracised from your peers anyway.

Let me say again I don't think your work is especially bad, per se. Its just not particularly good either. Welcome to mediocrity. I'll be sure to wave to you from the heights of talent.

Also, you really need to learn how to spot a troll. Not now, because now I'm speaking as an artist, but still.

One last thing - try to rebuke this as much as you want. Deny that I can draw, for all that you have no proof. Say that I'm "inferior" if you will. Just remember one thing as you do - I am a better artist than you, so I really couldn't care less what you think.

In case you're wondering why I even bother then -just remember that I may be speaking as an artist, but I'm still a troll.


In conclusion : Your work is mediocre. That is all.

(ps I take screencaps.)
