I've never been on a plane so I have no idea how it is, but I have a bit of a fear of heights so I'd probably not be comfortable either.
Actually my family all still lives within an hour of me, least the immediate family. It's just my father and I don't talk much and my Mom and I are not speaking and haven't for 3 years. All I have really is my Grandmother. I would like to go to college or work but finding either is being rather difficult.

[eiirisa]

im okay with heights i guess. just that when the air pressure is low (or watever)
you get a stinging/throbbing/block in your ears. lasts for quite sometime after landing.
pretty much depend on certain kind of people so.

family issues? that sounds complicated.
so in the mean time, what do you actually do?

[Acrila]

Ah I know that feeling that does hurt something aweful, I heard that what was it, burping or yawning can release the built up pressure in your ears.
And in the meantime I don't actually do anything. I'm a high school graduate, flunked out of college ten years ago and an inconsistant job history, I love art, I like to draw and I have illusions of being decent at it. I'm actually looking for work currently, probably something minimum wage in the retail industry, which is going to not be pleasant considering christmas is coming.

[eiirisa]

illusions of being decent, cool phrase XD
but dont let that hold you back. art is indeed birthed from subjective imagination^^
and each person has their own personal style and medium.

..burping and yawning, heh, they never come in handy when you need em anyway DX
even if i was chewing candy, still its not gonna help =_=

[Acrila]

Okay I gotta ask, how are you managing not to have huge lines of overly long text like I am?
Yeah I'll keep trucking at it, if I can hook up my scanner perhaps I'll show some. I like to draw anthromorphs and people and animals in what attempts to be an art nouveau anime realism style with pretty backgrounds and it's normally just drawn, pencil, I'm lucky if it's got color slapped on. No wacom tablet so no digital but I'm interested in taking things that route.
Sorry but yawning is the only suggestion I have, I heard it works for deep sea divers as well, so they don't get the bends.

[eiirisa]

im awake XD but have to leave for class now.

?overly long text?
i guess...cause i keep a sentence per line?
is that what you're asking about?

if im an illustration major, il be making art thru traditional mediums
but im in digital major, so pretty much saves paper but drains electricity XD

nouveau and anthro, dats a cool combo.
i cant even pull both XD

[Acrila]

Hey it's fine, real life calls it calls.
And I'm supposing that's what it is, I shall try it.
Nothing wrong with digital, I would if I could.
I actually want to do both and so far I got the anthro down, I'm working on the art nouveau, especially in the framing of the peice and the hair specifically I love how it's all flowy.

[Sin Van Alhazard]

Oh, there's people in the bar this morning~
No college for you two?

@Acrila:
Well, drawing actually isn't that hard, but if you keep a concept in your head for too long, in time, it'll "grow" and becomes very much harder to draw. That's why daydreaming too much isn't very good if you're trying to draw =.=

[Sin Van Alhazard]

S.I.N is 300 points ahead!
Now THIS is what they're supposed to do since the very beginning!
I've tired waiting for S.I.N to get ahead =.=

It's time to shout "SPARTAAAA!!!" XD

<edit>
Wrong html code.
Too much using dA code XD

[Acrila]

@Sin it's nighttime for me, nine pm and nope no college.
And I think drawing can actually be very tough, the more you learn and the more techniques you try the tougher it can be, especially realistic drawing. I like when my concepts grow, it gives me things to put into my pictures tons of little details that while difficult really add to it.

[Sin Van Alhazard]

@Acrila:
Hey, so it's quite the opposite on me XD
The more techniques I learned the better I could be. It'll be more handy if I do^^
And sometimes, when my concepts grown, like, I have this character, a golem, I made it since I was in elementary. It was just made of... Well, blocks, though it was meant to be stone. By the time goes, I have different ideas to make this guy look better and better. And now, I can't even imagine how am I supposed to draw it; my mind goes off far too advanced than my skills! ><

[Acrila]

The namesake of this character developed in quite the similar way, just an elf at first, now she has a complex background, a job, children and she's changed species, a whole history and look from where she was to now and entire backgrounds and history I can draw her in. I don't know my mind is crystal clear on her details and she's almost like a living person I can watch.

[Sin Van Alhazard]

You really can draw her after that much growth?
You REALLY have a good combination between your mind and your hands...
I can see the details of mine, but can't really seem to pull it out well.
Sometimes my hand's shaking too much, and suddenly all that I've wanted to draw are just, well, "poof"...

[Acrila]

Yeah, my latest picture is of her, she's without a doubt my longest lived and most developed character, she's like a splinter of my entire being that's had a seperate life altogether. I didn't really know that it was so unusual with a character that you love so much to be that clear in your mind. I actually have more difficulty with my hands simply because I'm not very practiced with anatomy so I use this site called posemaniacs since I don't have someone to position who has the body type I want.

[eiirisa]

cools.
i used to practice sketching figures in 30secs with posemaniacs.
it helps improve your judgement on body proportions ^^
