What has two thumbs and has insomnia?
*points at self with his thumbs*

Well, its not so much insomnia as it is very peculiar sleeping habits. I often find myself becoming extremely tired but being unable to sleep. Usually around mid-day. I force myself to anyway but then end up waking up 1-2 hours after then being unable to go back to sleep for another 18-20 hours. Nonetheless, not good. Seems like without a game occupying my mind constantly, I get to thinking too much which keeps me up. The lack of WoW is having ill-effects on my "routine" xp

Being left so restless, I end up sifting through all of these old files I have in my computer. Listening to songs I haven't listened to in years, reading stories I've left half finished for even longer, going through all my artwork, embarrassing myself by seeing how bad I used to be. Makes me wonder what all those people who complimented me about my stuff were thinking.

Though it has inspired me to want to draw again regularly but, of course, wanting to draw is totally different from being able to draw xp Everything I've been producing lately just isn't up to par with what I want it to look like. I'm still trying to draw Valgav's request but just wouldn't feel right to submit to him what I've got done. Not that I can, unfortunately. They've been lost in the shuffle for several months now redface But its definitely something I could re-do and do it better just...not at the moment sweatdrop Then there's new SoS artwork I wanna do but the characters' outfits have changed so much over time and I just don't even know what they are anymore. Outside of Creid's outfit, of course.

Reading through all these old scripts I've written have also got me thinking of re-doing them as well, all from scratch, which isn't good at all.

Hmm...I lost my train of thought.

I always get really sleepy around 12pm - 3pm and normally on a weekend, I go take a powernap around then... during the weekday, I pollute my system with so much caffeen that I have a restless leg AND and sleepy xp The only brightside about taking transit in the afternoon is the napping on the subway... but they need better headrests xp

As for drawing, I always want to draw too... but the ammount of time and effort for a craptastick result makes me not bother picking up the pencil in the first place. xp

I think most artists have some gap between what the mind pictures and the hands draws. (If that makes sense) Its true for everyone, you are your own worst critic.
The insomnia can be a terrible thing but I always found that naps killed my chances of getting to sleep on a normal schedule. If cutting out the caffeine didnt work, maybe try cutting out the naps.
I always liked your artwork. Even in its "work in progress" phase. I hope your dissapointment with the drawings wont stop you from sharing them with us.
