Positive thinking
Been feeling down on my art, and made a post about it on FA about why I haven't drawn in so many months.  I don't like my art.  It's not what I want to draw.  Well, it is, but it's just a pale, pathetic imitation of what I REALLY want to draw...  Most of the time.  And of course the comments were the usual "We love your art" "You're not as bad as you think" "Every artist is their own worst critic" responses.  As expected.  But... I can't be THAT awful, can I?

So I went through my galleries and pulled out the few pieces I actually like, just to remind myself that I actually do succeed sometimes...

Vikky's Badge
My Own Badge
Honey Husky's Badge (though the scan was awful)
Nacha Tokalu's Badge
Maid Marian's Badge (are we seeing a badge theme here?)
Rougia's Pendant
A Dragon's Best Friend (drawn in a flurry of inspiration, I'm afraid to work on it for fear of ruining how much I love it)
...and the picture I submitted for the folio here, which I can't post: http://www.lettersandladies.tk/

NSFW:
Party Animal
Tau & K'sharra (I kinda feel I cheated on this, though, because I used reference...)
Chained Down
The Closeup Series (I don't think I ever finished these...)
Lick It

Yes, out of the hundreds of art pieces, these are the only ones I actually LIKED after I was done.  Yes, I'm sure there are some pieces people liked/loved that I didn't include...  Because *I* don't like them.  They weren't what I wanted to put on paper.  They're nice and all, but they don't have the soul / detail / proportions / look and feel that I was going for, so I'm sorely disappointed in the end result. 

Maybe eventually I'll draw again.
