A kind of answer to the lack of art.
2 min read
Hey there, I'm sure some of you might have wondered why there hasn't been any art for a long time here. Or haven't noticed anything, both are equally bad.
I've been struggling with getting "motivation" or feeling to draw at all. I've tried to force myself to draw but I've only gotten to a 3-day streak of drawing so far.
I've been thinking that maybe art just isn't something for me and I've been struggling with that thought for a while. At the same time I don't want to officially quit since it's been something I've enjoyed for a long while (~2 years) before all this.
So right now I'm stuck here. This might take a little while for me to figure out. I've been forced by my good friend
to draw at least 2 things today so we'll see if I get anywhere there. If I manage to draw something I like I'll most likely paint it and if that's the case, I'll upload it here. So that's something I guess.
Thanks for sticking with me so long, sorry for the silence. I'll tell ya once I've figured this all out and know what I wanna do or how I wanna proceed.

Just really really lazy. I'm also very picky with what I upload. Since I haven't been active since about May I decided to upload some of the stuff I did, which are mostly sketches honestly.
I'll see what I can do about being more productive.
I also wanna say hi to my new watchers.
Hi.
I'm a lazy guy and don't upload very often, I hope that's k. Thanks for looking at my stuff.

Possible (increased) inactivity on dA.

I've been done with my requests for a while now and I have also finished a painting of sketches I promised to do. The thought right now is to focus on doing more new stuff (non-pony. 
!) and perhaps improving my style in a sense that it works better with my shading and slight realism. While I'm doing the style improving stuff I'll also be trying to learn more about shapes and anatomy because right now I'm pretty bad at drawing ponies in new perspectives and angles (which might be noticable). The other thing I was planning on doing was... Backgrounds. My nemesis.

I will likely upload them on my tumblr if I remember to do it, so if you're interested you can go here > www.alorpax.tumblr.com < every now and then to check it out.
Right now I'm very satisfied at which level my coloring and shading is. I just don't feel like the base of the drawing and the perspectives are keeping up and the backgrounds would really help in making the paintings more interesting.
Last thing I have to say, I'm very proud to now have 122 watchers and I want to thank you all for sticking with me up to this point, it really means a lot.

Requests.
2 min read
Something I've been thinking about lately. I've been asking myself if I feel confident and skilled enough to open them yet. I've also been a bit afraid of what would be requested and what quality would be expected.
But you know what, I'm gonna open them up now. I'll have some rules to what I will be willing to draw and what I can draw.
I won't do:
OC's shipped with canon (OC x OC is alright, as long as it's not too saucy/explicit)
Gore/Rule34/Saucy
Black alicorns with neon green stripes and neon red eyes. (No offense)
No detailed backgrounds. I don't have anything against it, I just simply can't do them. I will try my best with more simple backgrounds though, just don't expect too much.
If you're interested just give me a note of what it is you'd like me to draw for ya.

If you do request, please state if you want a sketch or painting. If there's any background and in that case what. Try to be specific.
Keep in mind that I draw ponies here, and it's pretty much the only thing that I can actually draw. And it's all digital.
Have a look at my gallery to have an idea of what you can expect.
Please keep in mind that I can refuse a request if I decide I do not want to do it.
If you're interested just give me a note of what it is you'd like me to draw for ya.
Edit: Closing the requests for now before I get too much work on my hands. Will upload a new journal once I'm open again.

Haven't done this since june, thought I'd do some updates.
First thing I'd want to mention is the most recent. I finally got a drawfriend feature with fav.me/d6ssz3t, that was really cool. I'd also like to say hi and thank you to all the new watchers!
Unfortunately these have been some very uninteresting months with barely anything happening other than the drawfriend feature. I've just been drawing and procrastinating as always.
I'll be going to BUCK 2014 most likely, will I be meeting anyone there?
Well, for the moment I don't have any drawing in progress, running low on ideas, not that they were very creative from the beginning. I'll see if I can practice on some backgrounds.
