Le sigh.

Sorry I haven't been updating much. Like, at all.

I thought that finishing college was going to finally relieve some time for me to draw, and I was really looking forward to it.

We all know, however, that you really do need some inspiration to get your pencil to work for you. We've all had our bouts with art block. And all my inspiration has been completely sapped from me by my boyfriend's leaving me after I graduated.

Sort of a buzz-kill.

We're still great friends... we were together for years, so it'd be pretty tough to suddenly stop talking. But all I can really put into words is it's not the same.

So that's where I've been. In my head.

Which apparently is devoid of all artistic thought and desire.

I know I still owe a few of you for watching his Comedy Central special, and I promise I will get to those as soon as I have an urge to pick up a pencil. :P

Dude OpticalXarsenal, Hope your doing good. I just realized I haven't seen art from you in a while. Hope you make a comeback some time soon :D

I know, it's horrible. :( Ever since my boyfriend left I've just been completely unable to draw. I'm starting to come out of it by teaching myself how to draw horses' hind legs. o_o Eh, it's progress.

hi Opticalxarsenal
im shadowmoons big brother and iv heard a lot about you from her and your work i must say is prety awsome.

im still trying to get the hang of how to work this place but im getting there like a snail in reverse :L

i only just learned how to make videos on youtube and have been working away on my youtube acount making gameplay videos or videos of me and my gf.

just made one of myself and shadowmoon and the rest of our pack family.
youtube muted my video cos i used a linkin park song as youtube always seems to pick on my and lets everyone else off meh.
lol ill find a way to get round them one way or another. ^_^

well hope to hear back from you at some point and was nice meeting you finaly.

Welcome to dA! ;D It's very nice to "meet" you too. Thanks much for the kind words! I haven't been doing much work lately though, damn art block...
And if you have any questions about getting around the site, feel free to ask. ;)

yeah this site is awsome but its confusing to me as im bad with dislexia and find it confusing to navigate around.

i just split up with my gf and the raw pain has to come out in one form or another so i set it to my drawings and have been drawing many new pics over the last week.

i love your drawings!

my lil sis gemma aka shadow moon she loves and worships your work.
would you be able to make me my very own darkwolf1982 avatar drawing?

i have managed to upload some of my drawings but the process to upload them is far too long and teedyus and confusing.
as you can see i cant even get a pic up as my icon here its that hard and confusing and im 27 :(
