Alright, back on track writing my book some, currently at...

Not too shabby. Can't wait to have it finished. I haven't written a full length book like this in years and years. It's a nice change from the script-like style of comics.

Oh, Ben, dear.

Good Morning

Unnnng, violent dreams of mushroom clouds and searing flesh, crumbling buildings. I wake up like this all of the time... =[ My heart filled with turmoil.

I guess a doctor of the mind would suggest I'm worried about something, or something. Dunno. =P

Sometimes when I lie on my back, and I stare up into the dark wintry night sky. I watch the slow falling snow, and it feels like I'm traveling through space.

Taking Critical Hits

A couple of my artist friends have asked me how I keep from getting upset with everyone online. They say, “Hyp, you take crits so well and never let yourself get down.” Well, first that isn’t really true. There isn’t an artist out there that hasn’t questioned his or her own work. I do it every day. But you can’t dwell on stuff, it isn’t productive. Just let the thought pass and tell yourself, even if you don’t produce any good art today, be art is still better than no art. No art won’t help you grow.

Just, try not to care what people think too much. I post art on forums, and about 70 percent of the ‘feedback’ I get are people’s personal tastes. I just let those slide off my back because you’ll never please everyone’s tastes. A good chunk are ‘crits’ I don’t agree with, but hey, you’ve go them, think about them, make your own decision, and move on. And then some of them, the smallest number of course, are good, helpful crits. Those are usually the ones that get me down a little, haha, because they’re right. They’re fact. But the person, even if they posted it in a terrible, untactful way, they probably meant good bye it. If they have an attitude, just ignore them. The best thing you can do is say thanks and forget about it. Act like it didn’t bother you.

I’m not saying ignore crits or comments, don’t. I’m saying, don’t let them get you down. Especially if it seems like that might be what the person posting is trying to do. Some people are bored I guess. Don’t let people walk on you, but don’t let them get you worked up either.

Care what people think.
But don’t let it bother you.
Draw and paint for you. Not them.

My two cents this week, stay cool guys. ^^

Toph is one of, if not 'the', my favorite characters from avatar. It is really a toss up between her and uncle, both characters speak to different parts of me. Man, what a deceptively deep cartoon. I love it.

Here we have an older Toph, no doubt sparring with an older Aang. I choose to keep her boyish features, made her thin, kept the bangs to illustrate she doesn’t use her eyes. I think she looks a bit too tall but I didn’t want to mess with it much more so I left it. If she were standing next to another character, her height would still be alright I think. We’d see she’s still short. She’d still be the pint-sized juggernaut we love.

Anpan Rocks!

An old friend of mine works on this really fantastic and great web comic called Nemu Nemu and I just want to help spread the word. It isn't crude, it isn't full of dirty jokes, it's just bright, it's happy, and most of all it is sweet. I don't see enough of this kind of wonder in our world. It makes me remember what it was like being a kid. It makes me feel the same way Calvin and Hobbes does.

Please go scope it out, enjoy something sweet and cute today. ^^

I don't understand our need to judge. Especially with art. We all have things we like, and we don't like. I don't enjoy paintings of sports, regardless of the skill it took to create the painting. The subject doesn't interest me. But if I see a painting of some baseball star, I don't take the time out of my day to let the artist know. Why would they care if I don't like it. If my telling them I dislike their image, doesn't help build them in some way, then why do I waste my, our, time? I don't.

So you don't like anime, so what? Don't comment.
So you don't like anthropomorphic characters? Don't comment.
So you don't like realism...

I don't know. I just only try to give good advice to other artists. I hate when I'm idling in an 'art chatrooms' and someone posts a painting, and all they get is, "It's just stupid anime. It's a furry!" etc... I just have always expected better behavior from my peers. We're creative thinkers. We're intelligent, we're original, we discover and explore. And apparently, many of us still act like children.

I think a lot of our self loathing as artist could be the source. It's so easy to be mad at yourself. You paint that painting you've been dreaming of, and it doesn't look as you imagined, you get mad at yourself. And sometimes, you get mad at others who it seems to come more easy to.

Try not to let this happen. Please guys. Stand up, be better, prevail. Try not to think of it as a contest. Paint because you enjoy it, because your heart needs to paint, and don't compare yourself to others, study hard, work hard, but also, try to enjoy it.
