Re: //Inadequate...
Fuck, Manawolf's pic is SO excellent, why do I even bother?// (see two entries down....)

This from someone who's captured my characters' relationships so perfectly? Inspired a whole R'ren'nkh'ian mythology? Who understands all her subjects so deeply, whose pictures breathe love? [shakes head] That's just daft....

Everyone has a different style, Onna - even the ningen (who, let's face it, really can't draw, not that she's ever let that stop her trying or [shudder] posting the results...!) Manawolf's artwork is beautiful. So is yours, in a different way. I don't see why that should stop you aiming for your own personal artistic perfection. All creators strive for that - in the full knowledge we'll never achieve it, but oh! the joy/frustration/anguish/triumph of the attempt!

We would appreciate it if you reminded yourself, every now and again, in the words of Desiderata [I really hate using cliches, but this piece really does have it all....]

If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain, or bitter,
For always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Unless, of course, you really want a horde of hybrids sitting glaring daggers at you (I'm not even going to mention the ki-blasts that could easily melt your pens and pencils, amongst other things... Heh, might be best not to mess with the sibs....)
