Imaginary Q+A

2 min read
So, how come you haven't posted anything in ages?

I am most definitely in a slump. Motivationally, creatively, emotionally....yes I have better days but I also have worse ones. The problem with my mental health is that it never gets to the point where I don't need medication. It doesn't help that I have next to no regular schedule right now and taking my meds can become a little erratic.

Oh. So....are you going to post anything soon?

Honestly? I don't know. I like to think that I will, and I hope I will, but for the past few days I've just sat on my bed, or on the sofa downstairs, and have either watched TV, played on the Wii (LEGO LotR ftw by the way), or gotten lost in the recesses of the internet. So most likely, unless I get of my soon to be fat behind....there probably isn't going to be much from me at the moment.

Do you feel bad about not posting any artwork?

Honestly, yes. Like every artist out there I like to get feedback, even if it's a :+fav: notification. I feel like I am currently letting myself down, as well as the artistic community - and I know how pompous that sounds - because the whole point of deviantART is to create, share, and be inspired.

I have noticed that I've fallen into the incredibly bad habit of taking some photos, and then they just sit in my camera. Going nowhere. Half the time they don't even get transferred to my computer. Another small problem is the sheer volume of images I have that are stuck in a type of digital limbo, in a folder called "PHOTOS IN DESPERATE NEED OF SORTING". I'm not kidding, that is what I called it. I'm starting to think of it as the purgatory of my photos.




These questions came off the top of my head. If you have any legitimate questions, please just ask.

....that I should probably post some more deviations. Thing have been a bit rough lately so I've been neglecting my dA space.

Who wants to see anything?

I do believe that the "more like this" function that puts similar deviations to the one your currently viewing on the right hand side of the page may just be a little bit....well, sucky. Maybe they should work with keywords as well as categories instead of one or the other?

I do not want to be suggested this:
<da:thumb id="397233837"/><da:thumb id="397588051"/>

while I'm looking at this:
<da:thumb id="398029953"/>

I have nothing against plus-sized people, I just feel that people don't really understand the category descriptions when they post things.

Since when does "Photography>People and Portraits>Body Art" - for which the official description is: "Photographs of human subjects with artistically arranged temporary or permanent cosmetic decorative elements such as tattoos, body paint, and rhinestones." - include images such as the above?



I'm really starting to get the vibe that I am one of few people who actually reads the descriptions before I submit my stuff.


Let me show you a little bit more....

<da:thumb id="397891591"/>
How is this "Make-Up>Beauty"? It's not. Plain and simple.

How about this?

This one has makeup in it, which is a good start, but you can barely see it. It should really go into scraps, or at best under Self-Portraits.



Train station by Teddy-Annika
This was put under "Digital Art>Fractal Art".
IT'S A PHOTOGRAPH. Probably the only digital thing about it.

Kangaroo by pollenandsalt
Oh this? Well this is apparently "Photography>Architecture>Interior".
Photograph? Yes, but of a mesh screen with a plant behind it. Pretty much the only thing that makes it interior architecture is that it's inside and shows part of a window frame.

<da:thumb id="388790658"/>
This is a photograph too. If you're an idiot who can't read, or a lazy bum who can't be bothered to take 30 seconds to choose the right category to submit to.

Had my primary assessment today. Only got to mention a few things but the nice psychologist said she could see immediately that there's a lot of negativity and anger in my life, and it's not going to be easy to "fix".

I said I wasn't there for a quick fix. I've tried several of those. No. I'm there because if my life continues in this vein it is going to kill me, one way or another. I am willing to put in the hard work to "get better".

Yes, it's going to be painful and upsetting. Yes, it's going to be expensive, both financially and temporally. But I am not giving up. Not this time. I am getting my help and I am taking all of it that I can get.

I will get better. I will survive. More than that - I will live.
