Ever had the experience of looking back at your old work and going "Oh god, the SHAMEEEE"? I imagine most artists go through this stage once they've hit a certain level of experience. But, honestly, it's also one of the most fun parts of being an artist too, I think.

But let's take this a step further.

I don't know how many of you might feel like I do when working on a piece. But I'll just simplify it for now:

Step 1:

Rough sketch work, gets you pumped up for working on the piece. Feels good, man. lol

Step 2:

Start your line work, or whatever your work process involves. There's still a good feeling of excitement and anticipation.

Step 3:

You've gone in pretty deep into the work. But as you stare at your piece for hours and hours, little bubbles of questionable feelings start appearing.

Step 4:

You've finished the work. And you're pretty damn happy. It's your most detailed piece yet.

Step 5:

You keep looking at the work. Slowly, little mistakes and disparities start popping up. You never realized them while working.

And thus starts the slow decent into madness. You start getting more and more unhappy with the work until you can't really remember why you liked it in the first place.

You start a new piece eventually, go back to Step 1, rinse and repeat.

Different people will probably experience this to different levels, I don't know. Depending on how positive you are, you could see this as a source of motivation in improving yourself, but on the other hand you'd never be satisfied, ever.

Any of you ever felt like this? I imagine a few of you might.

On a more cheerful note, here are some of the plans I have for artwork for the upcoming events I'll be attending (if I get a booth, that is.)

1. Vocaloid (Story of Evil/Daughter of Evil Series) Print set
If you're a fan of the Vocaloids and have never watched the SOE series of videos, please, PLEASE go and see them.

Anyway, the 3-piece print set will feature Miku (Princess of Green), Servant Len, Princess Rin, Kaito and Meiko (Daughter of Vengeance).

Here are their titles. Just look for the subtitled versions in youtube and you'll be good to go! Please check out the other versions too if you like em.

Daughter of Evil (Rin)
Servant of Evil (Len)
Regret Message (Rin)
Re: Birthday (Len)



2. Vocaloid Bookmark set (probably)
Featuring Miku in many of her different versions. (Black Rock Shooter, World is Mine etc.)

So yeah, it's gonna be a pretty Vocaloid-focused this time round. I hope you guys look forward to it anyway.
