I can do it!

3 min read
You know one of those cliches that say, "You don't know what you have until it's gone.' Well, I am feeling it right to my bones. 

I did not lose anything, technically. I could always return to them after one more month of suffering. What I am referring here is the freedom to do art, watch my favorite zombie flick (all over again~), and play Dota. Boy do I miss doing those activities.

I am currently working on my second last essay for a University module. After that, I had another 3000 word essay due for another module. While researching for my topics, it stuck me that this would really be the last few essays I would be submitting to my university. I am graduating this June! Yay! *dances around*

At the same time, though, I am having mixed feelings. I am definitely going to miss my professors, the library...and simply the whole experience of an undergraduate student with seemingly insurmountable readings, essays, and projects. I will definitely miss this school that has shaped my thinking, my character, and my life. I have also met friends for life! Finally, the last thing I am deeply thankful for, is meeting my significant other. 

Oh well, before I start reminiscing about another thing again. I am off to work on my essay! 

Also, thanks DeviantArt for the Free Premium Membership Day! :)

After a few weeks of producing and uploading more artworks to my gallery (because I had been a highly inactive member since I first joined DA), I finally get a chance to sit back, relax and simply browse through some of the most amazing galleries in this community.

There are many talented artists whose art pieces both overwhelm and amaze me. They possess such creativity, techniques, styles, imaginations, visual concepts, and above all...dedication. The fierce dedication to seek improvement, to further hone their talent and skills, to grow as digital artists manifests in each and every one of their art pieces.

Some create out of passion, some for profession, and some for sport....yet all their art pieces bear traces of similarities – hard work, effort and the neverending thirst for self-improvement.

Digital art (I refer to the art of photo manipulation) is not my vocation; it is a personal hobby I took up as an avenue for self-expression, and I had done so without much passion or deep appreciation for the style of art. The past few months however have stirred in me a set of different emotions as I stumble across the works of other photo-manipulation artists. These artists invest much time and effort into delivering their visual concepts. They persevere. They give. They inspire. :love:

And these are the wonderful artists which I recently came across:

On another note, I have but 2 weeks left before the 2nd year of my University commences. I hope to produce more art pieces before a good portion of my life gets wrests away by academic responsibilities. xD
