I'm sending out my first batch of submissions to various businesses, starting with book publishers, this week. I have no idea if I'm ready or not (got some pretty bad feedback on the last picture. Look. I like getting critiques. I do. It helps me learn. It also feels like a root canal with no novacane to dull the pain. So if you're going to tell me I need to work on something, BE SPECIFIC. Even "her neck looks off" is more helpful than "You need to work on anatomy". WHAT anatomy? Where? It's like telling a cook-in-training "you need to work on how your food tastes." We KNOW we need to work on it. I just want to know what areas need life-support studying immediately, and which areas can just continue to improve at their usual, gradual rate.) But I don't really want to put this off for another year.

It's scary, and I expect that I'll either get a bad response or no response, but...well, I'm pretty obviously religious, so I'll just say it. God can't bless me if I'm not moving. Sending out art (even bad art) is better than sitting on my butt doing nothing.

BTW I ordered a few prints, mostly 'cause DA's prints are much better than anything my (non existant) printer can do. it's so NICE to see my art how I intended it. And I finally have something to count as a real, live business expense. Even if the rest of the world doesn't recognise being a freelance artist as attempting to run your own buisness, it really is exactly the same. You just get less respect and sympathy for it.

Pretty time:











And in a final note...you know you're bored and in desperate need of distraction when the thing that blows your depression away is a sandwich. It was a tomato-basil sandwich. But still...god, I need a hobby.

Or a social life. Either would work.
