elicia8 and I were talking about how wilson is always making odd faces. She drew a pic of him looking like he's eating a stuffed pepper, so I drew one with his 'pinchy face and eyes closed'.
Well, not to stroke you too much (but you're having a bad day, so I will! :D ) I really hadn't attempted anything in colour until you posted your tutorial. I'd done a couple of watercolour things, but they were more cartoony than realistic.
Whatever that stoopid bitch might think, you contribute lots to plenty of REAL people. Would it be any different if we were writing paper letters instead of on livejournal? Not really!
My mother has also made a comment about doing something 'real' with my art. I was like..."Real? Do you mean making money? Because money doesn't make anything more 'real'. I HAVE a job. I don't need or want another one. Drawing fanart makes me happy. 'nuff said.
I had to comment . . . I'm so sick of my boyfriend complaining that my I'm wasting my time writing my huge-ass fanfic or drawing fanart because "it isn't going to make you any money". Hello, art isn't about f*&@-ing money!!!! UGH! People like that annoy me . . . Sorry to barge in, but you made a good point.
Tell your boyfriend, the next time he's playing sports or watching sports on tv...That he's not making any money doing that, he'll never be good enough to go 'pro' so why bother?
Perhaps that will be in a context that he'll understand better.
There are lots of people who enjoy your art and fic. That alone should be enough for EVERYBODY!
I've learned so much while in fandom. Most people are so generous, and giving, with advice, beta work, praise and concrit. Plus...IT'S FUN! :D
He's not into sports, though. But I get what you're saying. He's a video game freak, though and he makes no money while sitting on his arse playing RPGs when he gets home. *LOL!*
He's just a dork. But I love him anyways. Hopefully when we get a house (that's the reason he's claiming to be money-hungry lately) he'll calm down.
