I am still aliveeeee!!
Here marks the end of my hiatus, I guess. For a month or so after Mechacon, I was really ill. Tired all the time, my head was foggy and I couldn't think well, and I was waking up with migraines that would last a few days at a time. Then I gave my scanner to my brother when he left home for university in August. Soooo... I put off uploading stuff. Until now!! I just took some pictures on my camera and then Photoshopped them... I could have been doing that all along... I am so lame... OTL
It's holiday season in the retail biz and my employer is chronically understaffed, so I've been working a lot.
I'm feeling better than I was a few months ago, I think, but my head still doesn't feel awesome. I have chronic brain fog and it's SO annoying. I'm apathetic about life and art and work. Especially work. But I'm pushing myself a lot more and hoping for the best. My confidence is really low because of the headfog, and it's a really big obstacle when I'm applying for professional jobs. Those few times I've been able to muscle through applications and cover letters to get an interview, I can't seem to impress. I know the economy is kind of meh and I don't have a lot of experience so it's gonna take a while regardless of how well I perform in interviews, but it's a drag. I feel like everything I had to offer is being held hostage until I find the miracle potion that makes my head feel less fuzzy! But I needs job so I can gets money so I can take better care of myself and feel better. I can't just wait around until I feel better. So I just keep searching for work in a kind of dizzy haze because I can't do much else about it lol. It's... disheartening. More freelance projects to beef up my portfolio would probably help, so that maybe I don't have to do as much talking. I'm bad at talking. Herpderp.
Maybe the antidepressant drug makes my brain foggy. If that is the case, then I can just learn lots of freelance skills and then become a hikikomori! .... right?? ... sigh................
My folks are replacing my scanner for Christmas, so I can probably upload stuff again.
THAT'S ALL FOLKS

rebranding
Hiya! It's been a long time, huh?
I've begun the process of rebranding my channels in anticipation that I will be more active from now on. I now go by DOODLEPLAID on all platforms.
Life's always somewhat of a rollercoaster. At times I step back from everything and ask myself: Where and when did I feel a sense of belonging? Where was I and what was I doing when I was happiest? The moment I remember being most peaceful was at my parent's home in the aftermath of a hurricane. There was no electricity and the roads were unusable, so I was home from school and mostly cut off from the rest of the world. Aside from cleaning up the debris left by t
Hello!
I am so bad at keeping my dA active. I have been drawing a lot, but I hate to always upload things to dA that are not refined or finished. I've been dumping my sketches onto an instagram.
Life hasn't been so exciting. I'm living that typical post-grad millennial life where I'm underemployed and living with my parents. I work between 40 and 50 hours a week. I can't complain much. My coworkers are pretty nice and I'm not struggling to get by. The only complaint I really have is that I haven't had time or energy to work on professional or personal development so that I can move into a better job. I've had this past year and a half to really con

WHY DO ALL MY STROKES LOOK LIKE SHOELACES
I'M GOING TO SCREAM
Paint Tool SAI is the worst example of it; with Photoshop I barely get any taper at all
I guess I have to go through my PC and remove every trace of my Graphire4 beyond just reinstalling drivers... if that doesn't work, I just don't know LOL
100 Theme Challenge
I don't really know what to draw lately. TIME FOR A 100 THEME CHALLENGE.
DA ROOLS
1) Make 100 pics, each pic having a theme listed below. Each pic should have ONE and only ONE theme to it for it to count.
2) No time limit AKA have fun.
3) The main picture should be drawn but is not limited to "drawing". For all fair purposes, people are allowed to use their paint programs to create the pic (Photoshop, SAI, etc).
4) Pics should be of your own artistic ability. You may not edit photos, or break any other rules set out in the DA etiquette policy. Your pics can be anything from sketches and doodles to great works of art. Just have fun with i
