Wow. I haven't updated in a long time.
The tattoo is finished. I still haven't gotten around to taking any photographs of it. I'm extremely happy with the way it turned out, although a small part of me kinda' liked it as lineart, too. Either way, I'm glad it's not in that half-finished state it was in for three weeks.
Life has been... eventful, of late. And not. I'm trying to stay motivated, artistically, and pursue art as a career. It's so frustrating to be so self-defeating, sometimes. No matter what, the things I create simply aren't good enough, for me. It really eats away at your motivation and your creativity. I get inspired looking at the art of others, but at the same time, I spend too much time comparing myself to other artists, noting the things they do well that I don't, never bothering to compare the things I do well that they don't. My computer has been disassembled - long story - for almost a week, and it just got back on its legs yesterday. I worked on a piece today, and hopefully I can finish it tomorrow. I don't do much work in a pure painting medium, digitally; almost all my digital pieces are colored lineart. I'm liking the flats, so far, at least. Maybe I'll post it here when it's finished. Probably not. I can't take the criticism. I don't think I'm cut out for any of this.
There have been some other personal events, but I think I'd rather see them resolved before really talking about them openly or publicly.
Oh, I did do a tattoo flash piece for a friend, via his design. I added it to the art gallery. Maybe I'll add more eventually. I'd love to do more work like that. I want to put together a portfolio to show around at the local studios. Tattoo artist is kinda' where I'd like to see myself ending up. The pessimist in me tells me I'm going to peak at doodling on bathroom walls as a not-for-profit entity.
Hope things are smooth on your end of the cable. Let's all look at some titties.

You know, at first I had no idea what you were talking about.
Then I realized you cross replied to my comment I left you on Suicide Girls, to Myspace.
