So I realize that my deviant profile is over a year old and I have not posted many things D:

I am trying to get back to my art and slowly tip-toeing around my Cintiq. The main reason I have not done much with it is because I have no workspace for the 20 inch monitor anymore. When I bought it I had a desk custom made by a friend specially for it. Couple months later I had to make room for a baby crib The desk had to be dismantled and pretty much destroyed and removed. I considered selling my cintiq, but I think because all the efforts and sacrifices I made to buy the thing at the time, I must keep it.

I set up my Cintiq every now and again when I have time, but literally just sit there intimidated by it. I try to paint something with it but despite all my efforts it never comes out right. I have much to learn about digital painting with photoshop and every step necessary to achieve the look I want. What brushes to use and what should be layered are where I get stuck. I know I should just relax and just draw something out. But when it comes to coloring and layering I fail and quit.

As you will notice most of my submission are traditional works because its what I'm most comfortable with. I know how to use pretty much any traditional media but I lack the inspiration to create new works right now. I am very critical on myself and what is "good enough to post". And also I think this failure with my Cintiq is greatly discouraging me to try.

But thanks to all you other Deviants I do gain some inspiration. I try to search traditional works and get a sense of "I can totally create something beautiful like that" And as for searching digital works, thats another story I do get inspired but feel like I could never do that. lol

Well anyway, thanks for reading! And I will try to dish up some new stuff soon.
