To the End of the Abyss

Sun Jan 27, 2008, 12:25 AM
EDIT: Alright, I've decided to enter. Here I go to my doooooom... Here's hoping that I don't have a self-imposed mental breakdown.

----

Warning: pointless, sometimes incoherent rambling ahead.

Well... The deadline for the official BRR auditions is coming up, but I don't even know if I want to enter or not. I got a taste of what the tournament will be like because of the (test) Preliminary. Sometimes it was heaven, sometimes it was hell. It really was time consuming, though...

Should I even bother? The art quality kinda went down even in those three rounds for the prelim. Style change? Laziness? Could be a bit of both. If I enter, it'll be deadlines, deadlines, deadlines, as if I didn't have enough from school. Yes, I managed to meet them so far, but will there be a breaking point? I've already gotten behind in my reading (though that's nothing new).

I guess the biggest issue here is time, thanks to my habit of procrastinating which results in drawing binges lasting several days in succession. And hand cramps. With my luck, the deadlines will probably coincide with all my midterms/finals.

Time...and doubt that I'll even get very far in the tournament. Not with just the pencil sketches... and I don't want to do color.

On the one hand I want to improve (though I doubt I'll get any better), yet on the other hand it just feels like an obligation to Byako and :icongreenfrostfire: And if I don't enter, I'll regret missing out on the whole thing...

Aaaaah... Why can't I decide?

...I need sleep.

Honestly speaking, you really shouldn't be concerned about how far you'll get in the tournament. Part of the fun of such contests is to not know how far you'll go. ;)

Art-wise, I'd say you're pretty good. I've seen your stuff in pencil and they look good to me.

I can understand you're having doubts about time management and all. I've only entered one contest and boy, procrastination nearly killed me.

But the most important thing to ask yourself is this; do you like doing this sort of thing?

If you find it too much of a strenous effort to do this, don't do it.

But if you really like doing this, then by all means, do it. Trust me, when you enjoy doing something, not even proscrastination or lack of time will stop you.

Addictions are my downfall,
Yet I cling on them,
Unable to break free,
So it is with my obsession....
... with watching kick-ass Deviant artists! WOOT!

I believe in Jesus Christ as my savior. Do you?
:icongreenfrostfire:
just keep in mind if you are going to enter you only have a day and a half left and to draw your audition

just do whats fun and keep in mind that its not really a favor to me if you enter ^_^;

Good luck my good friend, you'll be needing it knowing JB...

Mmm... Yeah, I tend to forget the element of fun, especially if there's a certain plush breathing down the back of your neck as he watches your every move...

Thanks for reminding me about what's really important here.

OSU!! *throws plush Jasae off his shoulders*

That's how I survive, along with my firebrand-y excursions.

Ah, so you are going to enter. This will be tough but I look forward to the challenge. Good luck to you.
