So, I wrote that ultimatum after a small breakdown of sorts. It was sincere at the time I wrote it but things look very different when you're in those low points. It's no secret that I'm struggling with personal issues but I am getting help and things are looking better on the whole, despite some ups and downs. If you're worried, no, I'm not going to off myself. It would be unbelievably hypocritical to the people I've managed to temporarily talk out of that mentality.

But even in that state, I would not have made such an ultimatum if I did not think it was reasonable to meet the condition. Seriously, if I tried my absolute hardest over a little less than five years and I can't make anything come of it, then there is something critically wrong with me as a person. To that end, I'm still counting the days. If I consider myself having failed the objective, it's definitely going to be a really, really low point for me, so don't expect too much in the way of communication for about a week or so.

that being said, i don't like clogging up the threads being clogged up by my personal bullshit. let's drop this topic and talk about art, right?

And in the event you're sincerely thinking of ending it, please reach out to someone in the community, including me. Life can suck, but living is pretty swell.

Merciful christ, dude, I honestly don't know what I am doing. I've never done "real" digital painting before. I saw a speedpaint video that really showed me how different the actual pro painting process is from the academic, sterile approaches that applied the perspective lessons I learned (Eric Olson). For an ACTUAL piece, I learned that I need to start general and gradually get more specific.
However, it's been a super alien approach that breaks a lot of comfort habits. If it looks like I'm doing better, that's reassuring. I'm shit at figure though, so no promises on that.

On immediate examination, this is expected behavior. You have 11 submissions, and your score is 10, pending an increment. Bear in mind: scores only increment at the deadline, which we refer to as "rollover".

Between the innuendo-laden "DADdy" and this, this is starting to err a little on the creepy side.
