*gets shot*

Yes, I know. I'm dumb as hell.

All things considering, I've been getting pretty addicted to Subeta. The art, the people, the community, everything about it is awesome. They recently updated the layout, too, and it's very clean and smooth. I love it.

I think what I love the most is that I can SELL MY FREAKING ART. Unlike super-censored kiddy hell that is Neopets; Subeta caters to a huge variety of ages and most people there are in my age range. It isn't so censored, but at the same time they aren't lenient to the trouble makers.

I've had an amazing experience so far. The best part? I got the hubby addicted too. Haha.

He's a restock whore.

I've found another addiction. Anyone play Subeta? My username is tamstari. Friend me, please!

I need some advice. I know some of you guys work for companies that have you draw and illustrate for their pages and such. I need to advance in life. I'm 23 and I haven't worked in a decent company, nor have I ever had a really good job that I really enjoyed.

I'm unemployed right now, with no college degree, and I've been drawing for about 10 years.

I'm more of a cartoonist. I do a lot of designing as well. I've worked in 2 companies doing graphic design, and I didn't really like it. I wasn't allowed to be creative enough.

I want to be able to draw as my work. Illustrate. Concept Art, probably. I don't know what to major in.

I've considered Graphic Design and Photography, but then I see all these other artists and I want to improve my skills, fine-tune them and work in the industry. A dream job of mine would be to work for a company like Neopets, doing art like theirs or something like that.

How can I even get started? I don't know which direction to go, who to ask, or anything at all. I need some advice.

I'm trying to get my life going here, but I'm stuck in a rut I can't get out of. I want to be able to do something with my life, and my talent is the only thing I have going for me...

Its weird. I've gotten back into a lot of things that I haven't done for a long time. Even DeviantArt is part of my "daily dose" now.

I guess since I dropped WoW, and completely uninstalled it... I have found more time to do more things. Anyways, to the good stuff.

I play on a private RO server now. Now I know they are looked down upon, but my fiance and I found this amazingly great private server that isn't OP'd out. You actually have to do stuff.

Its called Nyuubi RO. Great place. I was always a private server skeptic and was almost borderline anti-private server after I played one once before -- but this server is awesome. I really enjoy playing there with the hubby. If anyone wants to find me, I'm usually on Mairin my priest. :3

As for Neopets. Love it to death, and I'm really enjoying it. There are some things that are kinda bugging me, but nonetheless I frequent it now. If you'd like to find me there, send me a neomail to tamstari. I'm online daily and check all my messages, so don't be afraid to send me a message!

Anyways...in other news.

I'm broke, poor, unemployed - but I'm happy.

I just started drawing again, after close to a year.

Ironically my muse was Neopets. At 23 y.o. Yeah. Go me.

Wanna find me? Find tamstari on Neopets. xD
