From Inspiration to Perspiration to Deflation

Inspiration

Well, after leaving gimptalk, I was inspired to transfer of all the tutorials to DA (a task which is nearly complete!)  I've got 1 more to go and haven't decided if it's really needed here or not.  I probably won't post it, but you never know.  It was a bit of a chore to get everything moved, but really didn't take as long to accomplish as I thought.  And I'm very pleased with the way things turned out as a result of converting them to html and pdf format.  I've gotten some positive feedback from that, which is always good.

Perspiration

As a result of the inspiration, I quickly began the perspiration phase by completing 3 or 4 new tutorials and started on several more.  I'm working on some tutorials on animation, texture stuff, more brushes being converted, and on and on and on!  If there were only more time in the day and I didn't have to work at a real job!  Ahh, such is life.  Work always gets in the way of pleasure.

Deflation

But, as quickly as things come, they sometimes go, and this is true of my feelings at the moment.  What a roller coaster ride I'm on.....

This evening I decided to close down the GIMP tutorial and brush shop for awhile and take a much needed vacation.  The feedback here at DA has been nothing but fabulous, but I've noticed some trends elsewhere that I'm not too keen on.  I won't be going into the details here as it may sound like whining to those of you who aren't familiar with the situations, but let's just say I'm annoyed.

When will I be back? Don't really know.  As I said above, as quickly as things come, they sometimes go....maybe tomorrow I'll reconsider and all will be fine.  But, I don't think so.  I need to some play time and there's no better time than the present.

Here's wishing everyone good times ahead and I'll see you again sometime, hopefully soon.  I'll still be posting occasional artwork here and checking in on things, so I'm not entirely out, but.....

Cheers everyone and God bless!
