I use my one and only Yamato/Tezuka icon

[pez]

There's a big meeting today. It's about an exciting project. The only reason I don't want to attend is because it'll go on for hours and hours without break, and I may have to take minutes. I hate taking minutes.

I ♥ Yamato. Really should write something Yamato/Tezuka (rather than the Tezuka/Fuji which I was struggling with last night). Now, if only there are 48 hours in a day...

Writing comes difficult these days. It's as if my last story drained all the words from me and I'm still trying recoup. The latest passion, apart from L2, is really drawing and video-editing, the latter of which I'm really no good at and will have nothing to show for a long long time. Drawing-wise, I'm okay with pencil and pen sketches (not anime-style), but it's hard transferring that "skill" to anime or fantasy drawing. I'm so bad at it =_=. And I suck very badly at doing backgrounds. The current goal is to produce a good drawing of Akaya (L2) against a grassy/hilly backdrop. Would probably send him to the area around Elven Village, take a screencap and copy it use that as a "reference".

Found this new magazine called Imagine FX. It's definitely helping me get ideas!

Has anyone tried Corel Painter? Where can I get a copy?

I find that happens sometimes too - Anne Lamott refers to it as having an 'emtpy creativity bucket' - you just need to let it refill. It helps to go and enjoy as many of the things as you can that feed your creativity, like walking, watching/reading things, music or whatever.

Video editing is itself very draining and can feel very much like the death of creativity, in so far as so much of the process is just nitpicking and repetition. There doesn't seem to a middle way between spending weeks/months trying to get something perfect or just rattling off a bit of enjoyable rubbish over a weekend.
