Being sick sucks.

In other news, I'm starting to think of specific goals to start improving my artwork. Looking back over my gallery, I'm excited to see that, at least in my opinion, I do see improvement -- it's not as much as I'd like, but then again, I always hold ridiculously high expectations of myself.

But, looking over what I've done lately, things that definitely seem to change the quality of a piece are the color variations, shading/lighting, background usage, posing, and character. That's... a lot. And I'm probably missing a couple of things, too.

What I'd like to focus on mostly over the next couple months is the following:
- Backgrounds
- Lighting
- Poses
- People

Backgrounds: This will suck. Because I suck at backgrounds.

Lighting: Shading is one thing, but shading the right direction, ambient light reflections the right direction, and color... AAAAH.

Poses: I, unfortunately, am not very good at anatomy, so unfortunately if I come up with poses on my own, they turn out a bit (okay, a lot) wonky -- this goes for both people and dragons.

People: I really suck at eyes. And lips. And hands. And... okay. Just people in general! XD

If you have any advice, tips, opinions, things you DON'T want me to change, please comment. I need moral support, and maybe some constructive help. Try to be nice, though. I'm sensitive. -_-

I WILL be opening for requests, soon. I likely will take a few over deviantART, a few from both PernMu*'s I play, and then a few from the People I Like So Much That They're Going to be Forced to Give Me Something To Draw. ~lunatteo, ~LurkingSalvation, I'M LOOKING AT YOU. And a couple of other people that won't read this so they don't know I'm talking to them. XD
