Hello my dear children,
My activity regarding uploading illustrations has been scarce as of lately. However.. There is some good news. News that might change this.
As some of you may know, I always felt too tired to draw for myself after I had gotten home from my internship at Kompas and school. Also, usually when I had my projects finished for Pencilmation, I called it quits. But here's the sexy thing. I have arranged (with Pencilmation and school) that I can use my remainder of my internship days for Pencilmation. What does that mean? It means I no longer have to leave my home to work for other companies. I can stay at home 24/7 and work on my drawings! As long as my projects with pencilmation are finished and the few school related assignments as well.
Oh, and I started to get interested in NSFW art. I might start doing that more often as well. Another small thing is, I haven't drawn at all in my sketchbook like I said in my last post. I maybe have 1/5 of it filled up. I still want to draw as much as I can, and want to learn new things. Those online courses I said I would follow. Well, I haven't completed a single one yet. I think I lost interest, I dunno.
I am not sure how to put it, but.. I am not a great artist. I don't draw as much as I should. It's this rotten feeling that says "ah. just draw another time.. go do this for now..". And then I read things from other artists that wish they could do more, but their equipment is broken or something. Meanwhile, I sit here with everything functioning, but not using it a whole lot. I feel like I am a dissapointment. I want to.. KICK this stupid feeling in the ass and become a happy artist. And now is the time that I finally get the chance to. I have all the time right now. However, with that in mind, it feels like an obligation or pure pressure to become good. Like, "he's got so much time, but he's being a lazy fuckhead".
I want to change all that. I want to become better, happier and healthier at all of this. I know it will take time, but damn it, I want to try as much as I can! So expect to at least see way more uploads in 2018 than in 2017.
Have a fantastic new years, everyone! Happy 2018!

YOU'RE A GOOD ARTIST YA DINGUS! Take a look at your Worms drawings, they've got amazing character expressions and life to them.
You're in school, OF COURSE you're gonna have low energy. :P
At VFS my friends kept crashing on the school couch, coffee cups all over the floor as a result of the exhaustion of meeting their deadlines.
The reason you are so tired, is because YOU have been working so hard educating yourself constantly on how to become a better artist by doing the school homework and your own personal learning, which is why you can barely bring yourself to draw when you get home.
Personal drawings unfortunately take a backseat due to the backlog of assignments, which leads to boredom or lack of enthusiasm.
Been there done that. But hey! Souls grow back. :P
The trick is to find a way to do assignments with your own charm, so even if there is limited space or strict requirements you can still have fun with it.
And hey? Sketchbooks don't have to be full, that's why when one gets filled up you buy a new one. So you can draw more stuff. haha
Good luck with your internship and good luck beating up that voice in your head that says you suck. (Spoiler alert, you don't)

Mate, you're the best! You've been extremely supportive towards me and I honestly can't thank you enough for that!
I want to say that I am not going to be talking down all the time. I will try even harder throughout 2018! I want to share more creations and quit talking myself down. I don't want to have to put my fans in that spot where they always need to cheer me up. I want to change that and I shall try my best!
I really appreciate all the kind words and all the motivation you have given me. One of the reasons why I want to succeed even more, not to disappoint great people such as yourself!
Thank you once more, and I shall make sure to repay it back by creating fun shit! Be it Worms, stickmen, my own characters, NSFW or something entirely different. :D
Have a fantastic new years eve, Syrupmasterz!
