So I'm going to use it and promote some people!

Today, a very unappreciated artist from Thailand: tonzhat

When I found his gallery I was amazed by the quality of his works. I was even more surprised when I saw that he has joined dA over 3 years ago and his page has been visited only 2253 times. WHUT? I guess I'm never going to understand how popularity on deviantArt works...

Here are my personal favourites from his gallery, enjoy and visit that talented bastard!

         

Hello everybody!

Last year I wanted a fresh start on dA, so I've abandoned the old account and started a new one (busiq). Unfortunately, my love for it didn't last long. Somehow I've stopped working on my drawing skills and I was constantly not happy with what I was doing. I've visited my old dA account and was terrified with all the old crap I found here. Yes, almost all of it was crappy in my eyes. I'd say that about 2 or 3 drawings might be considered 'decent'.

It reminded me about myself 7 years ago, when I was still in high school and I had just discovered deviantArt. My drawings were considered 'awesome' back then and I had a group of friends at school, maybe even admirers. I drew a lot, mainly fanarts, started having fun with digital painting and making use of my tablet. And yes, I produced a lot of crappy crap just to get favs and comments saying "cute!11one!". But now I can see how much progress I've made back then. Even if I was drawing something poor in quality, I was still drawing a lot. I had the passion inside! This is what I lack now. I strive for perfection, but when I can't achieve it immediately- I just drop it. I start drawing, and than realize it's not complicated enough, not detailed enough, it's just not ENOUGH. I end up with NOTHING. Not getting any better, with another unfinished drawing that's gonna rot somewhere on my hard drive.

Now I feel terrible about myself. I'm doing a boring job that pays the bills, but leaves me unsatisfied. I spend my days playing games and wasting time.

Thankfully, I think I'm waking up somehow. I've finished the piece with Iorveth. Would you believe that I dropped it over a year ago? My friend saw it by accident and said: 'it's good, finish it, it has the potential'.
And I've finished it.
And I was satisfied.

It felt like 7 years ago, when I was excited with my every work, when I felt I was getting better with each step I took.

That's the key to getting better- doing something. Even if you fail a hundred times, maybe the hundred and one time will be a success? Maybe not, but it's still worth trying.

So I'm back.

AWW YISSS!
