I really wish I could motivate myself to work towards real life goals with the same enthusiasm as I manage to muster for virtual ones.

Somehow I can spend hours and days playing towards arbitrary goals with no real meaning, and no benefit, but when it comes to doing something real, I can never focus long enough see things through.

How do you keep yourself motivated?

OK, so just posted my first pic of the year - can't believe it's april already; this year is passing me by.

Anyway, I've been working on a bunch of pics, but none of them have been going to plan, or inspiring me enough to finish them; but i went looking for some new lineart and managed to fire through a pic from start to finish in one afternoon-



Hopefully I can start working a bit better again soon.

Wow...

I just spent a few hours cleaning up my DA watch list - before I started I was watching just over 1400 people. Now I'm down to 800.

So many abandoned accounts overrun with spam, neglected for years. So many people for whom DA was a quick fad or a phase. So many who leave and take all their work with them unhappy.

I'd expected to cut down my list a bit, but almost half the people I watch have either faded away or flat out left. Quite sad really.

Happy New Year all, let's hope it's a productive one!

Has anyone else noticed no-one is saying "Merry Christmas" anymore? Everyone around me in real life and on TV keeps saying "Happy Christmas"? Cards and wrapping paper are the same - it's like Merry is dying out.

Anyway, Merry Christmas all.
