Hello everyone!

As many of you are aware, I'm not active on DeviantART even though I check in once in a while for messages and to look for art inspiration. 
I've been struggling with a lot of personal issues for the past 4 years, one of them being my passion for creating, and letting it prevent me from actually doing anything. I still sketch a lot, and if you are interested in seeing my current work you can follow MY INSTAGRAM as I am much more active on there. 

Hopefully I'll start posting on here again soon, but I can't guarantee anything. Hope you guys are all doing well and keep practicing.

I got my chickenz.

I think the title is very fitting as I'm finally going to just charge into my dungeons of monsters. What the hell do I mean by that? I'm gearing up for graduation in June and prepping to head out into the art world once and for all. This means finally cranking up and getting to work on projects I have put off for so long. 

As some of you have noticed I have been posting up some "concept" work. chocolatetater-tot and I have been messaging each other quite a bit and she and I are fueling each other as much as we can artistically. (She's got a CoD FanFiction (Which if you're interested, I highly advise reading it www.fanfiction.net/s/10442344/…. You can check out her dA page as well but I think she updates on that site.) Another one of my friends, PandemoniumPrison has been getting me interested in sci fi, so I've been doing a lot of concepts for ships, guns, and creatures. So be expecting a lot coming up (hopefully if I remember to post them). 

Also, you can check on my tumblr for some updates since I post quite a bit up there that I felt too lazy to put up here.

I have been debating as well on creating a new account for more professional work, but this is a maybe. May not even do it at all.

And lastly, for those of you who remember and/or care...
Yes.
The tales of Zach and his merry gang of murderous idiots will continue. The script has been written out, and drawings are underway. I just need to go faster.

MADDIE OUT.

For the past 5 years I've struggled with my work and my feelings of self-worth. The past three weeks have been pretty bad. I came across a couple of articles which have shed some light for me about the art community and has actually pointed out several things I'm doing wrong/not doing enough.

And this last article, 99u.com/articles/7192/are-you-… , Has shed some light for me as to why I'm not working on WoF despite that it's all I think about. 

My new goal is to become active again here on DeviantART (though I tend to check my tumblr page far more often), and to REALLY work on my many projects on my list. Time to make my own inspiration.

I stopped drawing and painting for a really long time. I was in a traditional painting class for a few months and getting some color work in, but I stopped sketching during that time. Then after the class was over, I stopped painting completely. So in all honesty, I'm not even showing anything on my dA page at the moment because I'm embarassed about everything I do now.
