Two weeks until expiration.. Hm.
I plan to buy a subscription someday. Then I can emit all my energies here. Hoho~ Or I could join a subscription-priced contest again and douse in sweat to win it. Yeah! Anyhoo, I'm back. Well, the ordinary "back", that is. I'm slowly realizing that leaving dA is such an impossibility, I reckon being a member here has become part of my life now. Much like setting art aside: I'm slowly getting eaten by work that, again, I itch to spend days on end just doodling about. I miss art. This is the realization I so need to get back on track. I bought tutorial stuff on CG to try to regain what I'm slowly loosing. I'm reading stuff now about this and that~ I just need the time to express them all on my own.
Sometimes, I wonder what would've happened with me if I'd been a fine-arts student. It would've been easier to me to choose which to trek. Or if I'd been born rich, perhaps I've gotten to a better school that could hone what I know and love to do. I'm slowly reaching 30s and damn it I've still lots to learn!
No use trying to be a jack of all trades, in my case, it's making me mediocre. I'm not that gifted anyway. Currently, all signs are pushing me to hurry with what I need to do so that I could get the release I need. There's no creativity, no fun and no genuine exalting feeling from where I am. I now know that I need to be someplace else but I'm still pushing myself towards what is repulsing me.

I lost my very fist pet cat, Franne. A some-blooded Turkish Angora cat with odd-eyes: yellow-green and light blue; with pink ears and nose; with semi-furry-ful white coat. It all started when I acquired one of her sons, Leeliboy and a dog, Koykoy. Leeliboy and Koykoy got along very well (they a play a lot). Franne on the other hand would never learn to like dogs, so I had her placed downstairs with her another batch of kittens. Well, you get the drift. Franne even left her new kittens behind.

Anyhoo, that triggered me to try to finish one of my projects. I have a "mascot" in dA, (who seems to be an elfish pornstar,
~)
When I got Franne as my pet, I decided to rename my mascot with the same name. In one of my earlier journals, I said I'd do a new piece of my mascot every year-- the piece will flag my stay here in dA. I became a member on 2004, so right now there should be 6 deviations about my mascot. Well I was true to my pact of making pieces, that is, linearts of the mascot, every year since 2004 but, I couldn't get the chance and the push to color them and post them here. I ended up stacking all of it, including my other linearts, and missing them at one time. Now I'm not sure but I think I lost my Franne - 2006 piece. Shucks to hell it is.
Ah well, right now what's posted are the following:
..do check them out and please critique/ comment on them!
By the way, the 2004 piece was my very, VERY first digitally-rendered piece (using PS, that is-- I used to doodle with only MS Paint). After
Razekiel and
Kwekachu taught me how to use Adobe Photoshop 5(?) I tried to practice and came up with that piece. It still holds the original name, but I'm gonna leave it the way it is.
Here's to hoping for more of Coleurs de Franne pieces!
More Franne pieces mean me struggling with my art and me still staying and mingling in deviantArt.
