Yes! One for gallery and two for scraps. I'm so sorry for making you wait for so long but it seems it's not only self-criticism I'm struggling with but also inferiority complex. I hate to say this but I don't like my own style of drawing anymore and I'm not satifed with what I do. Everytime I try to come up with something artistic I just end up being angry and frustrated. I was planning to take a break from deviantART to give my self the time to practice and improve my drawing skills. But then again: If and when I get something done there's nothing better than sharing it with you. So please don't lose your faith in me and stop by again.

If I started to draw a "Thank you"- picture now I might get it done in time for 10 000 pageviews... Hmm, now that's a big idea.
I wish I could thank each and everyone of you individually. I know I haven't been the most active artist and I'm trying to get myself together and start drawing again. Hopefully updates will follow soon.
Thank you so much!

I'm so happy now! I got my paycheck today and after paying some bills I finally bought some new art equipments, including a book "Anatomy for artists" (orig. "Menschliche Anatomie für Künstler"), painting stand and some charcoals etc. Ah, I've wanted to try traditional painting again for so long! (Haven't done it after high school's diploma course and that was with acrylics and now I have oils.) Well, I already tried them out once and on ground of that I can tell you: I'm not very good at it! Deviating from my usual habits I'm actually going to learn and go through my new books and then try again. Wish me luck!

Hmm, I've also had a problem with my schedule concerning digital drawing. You see, I have a bunny and he needs time out of his cage several hours a day. I can't have the bunny in the same room with computers and I can't leave him alone either (tryed it a couple of times, not good.) So what did I do? Answer: I bought a laptop! Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Xi 3650-003! And I'm loving it! The screen is big enough for drawing, technical content is more than fine for it's use and Mr. Bunny has no chance reaching it's charge wire. So: Problem solved, art here I come!

Oh, and just so you know: I haven't quit the 100 picture challenge, I'm just too lazy to paste the list after every journal entry. I am going to finish the list but I don't know when. Right now I have such an inspiration I don't really need any help with ideas.
