    So idk how many of yall still really "active watchers" here on my deviantart but I just wanted to talk a bit about life and apologize. I wanna apologize that I never really upload anything anymore. Just a lot is always going on and I never have the time or "artistic energy" to make lots of serious art anymore. In fact, as I'm sure I've said before, I really struggle sometimes feeling that art is something I'm even supposed to do. Currently I'm attending SCAD but I a lot of the time don't feel like that's where I should be, or sometimes even where I want to be. So I think about it all the time as if this is a career path for me to even try to follow or if I should be looking else where. As of right now I'm still gonna try to go with it and just try to keep myself moving up. I feel in the past few years I've been very stagnate in art and I'm tired of it so I guess I'll try to start pushing myself more. I'm not really sure how far I'll make it or if I'll even fallout along the way but I guess I should really try before giving up fully. This coming school year is a really "make it or break it" year for me personally to see what it is I REALLY wanna do. Hopefully all will work out in the end. 
    In any case I guess I'll start talking about dA stuff now. I feel like it's really sad to see things grow up and move on. A lot of the artists that I used to adore have disappeared or just fallen off my list of inspirations (not for bad reasons just personal stuff) and it's really saddening to see that all move on. Well that is how life goes I guess. Wah. And in that sense I also wanna give a big Thank You to those of you who have been with me for so long and giving me any support you have with kind words, comments, or even just favoriting my work. I really do appreciate it. And for those of you who have been with me since the beginning of time (like back when my youtube was fully of anime slideshows I made to paramore and evanescence gOD). 
    So at this point I feel like I've covered all that I thought about covering. I hope to one day to really revamp my dA and youtube to be the "best" they can be but until that time comes I probably won't upload too much more other than sketchdumps and MAYBE some CGd pictures. Finally, if you want to talk to me or ask me questions about anything, feel free to do that here or on my tumblr <(where I'm most active. also currently my username is popcoolster but it prob won't stay that way for too long). I'm always open for conversation.
                                                        Thanks Again Everyone

Wahhhh Bobbyyy. I get that feeling too. I think it's just very natural that the minute you "have" to draw something, suddenly you don't have as much fun (and it often doesn't come out as nice as you want it to as a result). I think it would be best for you to take a break from art/drawing for a while. See if you will miss it or not. I think most people find themselves wanting to draw only in instances when they don't feel that they "need" to or when they really shouldn't. (Like how I feel most inspired when I have a math final I should be studying for the next day sawb). It might be frightening, especially to a serious artist like you, because you might lose some skills during that time of non-intensive art, but skills can always been regained/revised. But yeah, I think that might give you a chance to figure out whether you want to do art/whether you want it as a career or a hobby, which I think will be more important in the long run. And of course, if you end up not missing art, that's totally fine too! You're not obligated to be an artist, and you can start trying to figure out what you really want to do with your future with the artist pretense.

Either way, I hope everything works out for you bby. :iconsweethugplz:
