Seeing as my last State of the Art was back in week 8, I’ve disappeared from updating here for over 2 months. Pathetic. It’s not that I haven’t created any art in that time, but a fair amount was spent in an art funk of some sort that I’ve finally decided to just push through. I have a few new pieces to show off, including the art block-breaker, and I’ve added those pieces to the gallery here.
Another reason I haven’t been painting is that I’ve been writing. I enjoy reading manga and watching anime and for some reason, I’ve gotten back into One Piece hard, to the point where I’ve been working on some fan fiction again. I used to write a lot more stories years ago but for some reason, I stopped. I’m not sure if my creative juices ran out or if something else happened, but according to the dates in the notebooks I write in (I start writing longhand, then edit as I transcribe onto the computer), the last story I was working on was dated 2009. So I’m enjoying that bit of creativity as well. Unfortunately, it takes me a long time to write, so the stories won’t be available for a while yet. I did discover that one of my Ghost in the Shell fics was never posted here on the site for some reason. It’s up on Fanfiction.net but I never cross-posted here. I’ll do that as well.
On to the visual art though – here’s a bit of an art dump for the most recent pieces I’ve completed.
