UPDATE: Nevermind. I decided to fully complete the portfolio I vowed to finish, and by God, I am going to hit it HARD! Soon enough, it'll be done. I cannot say when, but the commissions slots will remain closed until I say when. As for my hopeful profession, the day will come. Mark my words...

----------------------------------

It seems that I have been under some deep thought on the process of what I would be doing with my life. This came during my current visit back home to the snowy landscapes of my childhood hometown. Very relaxing to get away from it all for a while...

While I am here, I met up with some friends and my theater professors from the college I graduated from almost three years ago. They were so excited to see me after so long, and it felt great to see them remember me. And for good reason; when I was studying Theater, I was recognized by my peers and my professors alike from my voice talent. It turned heads, made people laugh, and became the center of a capstone project that was unlike any they ever had in the very studio I performed in. A one hour-long show of voices and even I made the favorite professor who is often hard to make laugh... laugh. An accomplishment well worth listing. It was those people that told me I could go places with my natural talent, and over the years I have exercised my talent so it would not rust, discovering more and more voices through time.

Anyway, as I have talked to my professors, the one I made laugh three years ago asked me what I was doing now... still at Disney's attractions. He said I have to make use of the talent that made the professors and friends talk about me for years. It was that moment that made me feel that I have been dragging my feet, even to this day.

Remember the portfolio I kept mentioning about time and time again I am trying to put together? The one I worked for a year and a half so far for? It's for a transfer to an area where I could teach people how to draw Disney characters, no doubt something else that catches my interest... but after my recent conversation with one of my professors... I might think of abandoning that portfolio and head towards what I have set foot in Florida to do in the first place... On the flip side, I can finally end my silence here on my art gallery and get cracking on all the ideas I had brewing in my mind to draw, and Lord knows there are a good hand full of you who have been eying my journal for the commission slots to open again.

I hate having to not finish something I began, and that portfolio was started during the summer of 2008, with now not even half of the pages completed. It took long enough as it is, and I already know that good art cannot be rushed... but perhaps artwork should remain a hobby and continue pressing to what my talent could take me to. It's a hard decision, and would no doubt make a big impact on my life... it's tough to decide... I would love to teach everyone how to draw Disney characters, no doubt, but there is also the one part of my life that took four years for someone to say "Hey! You could make a living with talent like that!"

It's a big decision...but what's a guy going to have to do?... I cannot wait long, and I must fulfill my destiny...

----------------------------------

This might be a long way of saying that commissions and more artwork might be returning to the Arbok_X DeviantArt page, so stay tuned for any for-sure update on the subject matter.
