The Beginning of a New Age

Mon Jan 7, 2008, 9:33 AM
As promised, here I am on the first day of the year (or maybe the seventh, but it wouldn't be my journal entry if there wasn't at least one week of procrastination) to report my new ideas and projects, and most importantly, what it will be of 2008 where concerning my participation in this website. Before I start with the projections, if I can call them that way, I would like to wish you all a year exceptionally less boring than the last one.

Well, I promised you a good surprise… The explanation of my plan and a token of gratitude and guarantee for them. There isn't really much to say and I am not sure where to begin. Recently I realized that I have an unwanted ability to never give up on study and education matters but, on the other hand I most easily give up on my projects, drawings, basically any thing that I throughoutly enjoy doing, based on this I have attempted many things of which none has worked quite well. I do know that sometimes it is quite healthy to stop working on a project only if you get back to it later on, it incites the mind to work on it with new ideas and perspectives once you get back and it can help you go beyond that point you were stuck. There are essentially only two projects of mine that I lay down sometimes and get back to it some time later (even if more time than it's usually advised): A book project and a comic one. For reasons far too simple to see here, I will not get into these projects to the extent of explaining and describing them mostly because of my eternal fear of someone stealing the ideas.
The only thing that may interest this entry would be what I have decided, basing solely on these realizations shown above, about what I will do in 2008 where it concerns my participation in deviantART. I will not get into the matter of my book project as I envision it coming to be when I am older, maybe in my early 30s, even though I have most of the plot and events set. The project that will mostly interest us now will be this so called "Comic project", I figure that since this is an art community that would be more than obvious. Nevertheless, I ask of you not to get you hopes up for you won't see comic pages here, I suppose. But all of the character development and designs will most likely be posted here and I would immensely enjoy some feedback but even before that, support. Believe it or not there are only four people in the world that know the story of this project where three know it throughoutly. It is an important story to me as it is the first one that I have created from nothing and that I was successful in adding "mind fuck" elements, metaphors and many other "more than it meets the eye" things.

Apart from that, my great project and the reason for the title of this entry is that I can't go through one day without arguing with myself as to "what am I doing in this website?", "why in the bloody hell don't I add any more drawings?" and thinking that I have failed all of you over and over again, with shallow promises and over apologetic comments of forgiveness. That made me group all of my aforementioned problems and come up with an idea, if this works as I plan it will make me improve in art since it will force me to draw, make you all know after all this time my work, and force me to work on my projects, think about them more clearly since they will now be palpable:
Alright, no more delay. I have decided to add, every month, seven deviations (even if not finished ones) most likely on the day 25th of each month and take that as a goal, or even an obligation to myself and all of you. Believe me or not I will have to work a lot to make this happen as I take too much time to finish a drawing and I don't actually have many finished drawings, maybe 20 or even less. I know this is mostly impossible to believe in lieu of your past experiences with me but I really do want to make this happen. That's where the guarantee comes to be: as I write this I prepare the second addition of a drawing in my gallery. It isn't a great one but it's an important one and a most delayed drawing as well, my friendship-birthday-Christmas-new year's present to my best chap, ~EvilEgg. I will not spoil the surprise as to describe it but I believe you will already have seen it when you read this. Take this as my token of gratitude for waiting so much and coming here only to exchange a few words with me as well as a guarantee that my projects are true.

I don't really think I have anything more to say so I eagerly wait your comments and I leave you with this great piece of the book "Death" of 1912 also entitled "The Light Beyond":
"[…]It were much more reasonable to persuade ourselves that the catastrophes which we think that we behold are life itself, the joy and one or other of those immense festivals of mind and matter in which death, thrusting aside at last our two enemies, time and space, will soon permit us to take part. Each world dissolving, extinguished, crumbling, burnt or colliding with another world and pulverized means the commencement of a magnificent experiment, the dawn of a marvelous hope and perhaps an unexpected happiness drawn direct from the inexhaustible unknown. What though they freeze or flame, collect or disperse, pursue or flee one another: mind and matter, no longer united by the same pitiful hazard that joined them in us, must rejoice at all that happens; for all is but birth and re-birth, a departure into an unknown filled with wonderful promises and maybe an anticipation of some unutterable event…"
-- Count Maurice Polydore Marie Bernard Maeterlinck

Perhaps you are not, but it proves itself a challenging task to remember you through your new account. What would your old account have been, then?

I see, I do recall your astounding work but I fear we've never talked much, unfortunately.
Pray tell, what brought you to my web-infested page in the first place? Pure curiosity or random deviant?

Actually, I don't remember exactly how I found you... maybe it-oh! It was on the blank journal that sebychu posted, I think. And I saw your avatar and I was like... seems familiar! So I dunno, I decided to be obnoxious and be like, "Hey! I remember you." :)
