taking a break from art for a bit, i seemed to have lost my motivation. its pretty discouraging when i have recently submitted what i feel are some of my best works and receive pretty much no exposure. its a bit frustrating, when i look back at my older work from years ago.. i got so much positive feedback and hundreds of favorites on each work. of course deviant art favorites and comments aren't the most important things, but personally it makes me feel good, like i've accomplished something and drives me to push further. the funny thing is i dont even think my older work is anywhere near as good as what i've recently been making, i guess back then i had much more of a 'following', before i became inactive for about 2 years straight. im pleased with my work as of late, and i know when i continue it will only get better. but it seems personal satisfaction isnt enough to keep me driven. for now i will pursue other hobbies of mine, but i'll find my way back to photoshop soon as i always do.

hope everyone elses creativity is flowing better than mine at the moment hahah
