First of all would be the fact that I erased more than half my dA gallery, it simply made me feel really miserable today when looking at it and seeing my old stuff. For me at least it's not such a great encouragement for the future to see that I have evolved, when in my opinion I did so very little. So from now on I'll be careful to be very selective with my works.

Secondly I wanna apologize in advance to those who added me to their DeviantWatch list solely for my photographs. I won't be concentrating on photography anymore from now on, so please feel free to remove my page from your Watch list, and thank you all for your constant support, critiques and heartfelt advices,they really helped me a lot. The reason for this decision is that I finally understood what makes me the happiest: creating new characters and playing with different subjects, especially fantasy and SF ones. I accept the real world as it is, I know I have to live in it and I do see the beauty in it, but it's simply not enough for me when compared to all the fucked up parts. I've always seen books and fantasy drawings as an escape from this world, and I wanna have these things pulling me away from the real world when I have some free time. I simply wanna make my own worlds and characters, even if they're just fantasies, not just see this world through a different perspective as photographers do through their art. I think I've already seen and understood a lil' too much for my own good from this world's reality, and perhaps now I'm returning a little towards childhood and fairy tales. I'm not saying I'll totally drop photography and for sure I'm grateful I had the opportunity to finish my photo course, it did teach me a lot and I'm sure it will come useful in life, not to mention I can make people happy with beautiful shots. But for myself I wanna continue with drawing and writing, and perhaps one day I'll finally be able to see that I've reached the level of my idols in drawing and surpassed them, I wouldn't ask for anything more if that were to happen. So anyway, hope you guys will understand and continue to support me. Thank you so much!

Ok, so quitting the serious, philosophical tone, I'm simply laying in my bed feeling like crap, physically speaking. Not that it would be any different from how I've felt the past 2 weeks or so: nausea and feeling like throwing up - or actually doing it -, tummy aches, sudden lacks of calcium - although my last set of analysis showed I had more than enough - ... it sucks >.< And yeah, I know what it is, I'm not gonna die or anything, but damn it's so annoying not having the mood for anything and feeling like a vegetable all day long Good thing I have Faeron and Nithiel to keep me company, the last few days I've started accustoming myself with 2 other digital coloring programs I have, but with which I didn't work too much so far: OpenCanvas and Sai, both really great tools for my digital semi-realism, semi-manga style drawings.
Also finished one project, 3 more to go...learning when I'm feeling a lil' better... and fuckin' pissed off that the chances of attending Otaku Fest are almost 0 in my present condition. But no way in Hell imma gonna crawl there >.< 'sides, the biggest fish for me in anime/manga/Japan related stuff here in Romania is NijiKon in the autumn, so I'll be waiting patiently until then.

So, guess that's kinda everything I wanted to say. Again, hope you guys will understand my decision and continue to support me in the future. For the others, I thank you for all your encouragements, constructive criticism and help so far and I wish you the best of luck and inspiration as photographers
