Music and art? Nice.

Yeah you'd think so but when you want to dedicate my life to both of them it gets tough... either way I fear I'll be eating ramen every meal and living in an apartment full of cockroaches. And worst of all I'll probably have to abandon one of them, and it will most likely be my music when I get a steady illustration job. My fantasy is to get just big enough with my music that I can make enough to live comfortably and do what I love.

But I'm a lot better at art than I am at music, and trying to even get noticed at all in the EDM field is hopeless. And I feel completely mediocre at drawing compared to all the other people going into the illustration field. I just don't have the technical skill and the motivation. Well I'm just a freshman I'll see how it goes. Most likely I'll just end up living with my parents lol.

Enough of that emo bullshit, have some fucking peppers! :D

why the fuck do i keep saying these things to myself?!! I'm sorry for ranting.

oops

that should've been

That's definitely the coolest drawing of a vegetable I have ever seen.

I've drawn with a pencil, but i've always been better with a mouse.

Iscribble ftw :P

thanks :P at least i can take pride in little stuff like this, it keeps me going.

I drew, and then scanned, and then photoshopped this. My friend made one, so I wanted to do one too!

OMG PINK HAIR!?!?!??! =O

Drawing

I tried to do some art when the art forum first opened. I mostly did pics for the c.o.w. (creature of the week).

So, yeah, i feel ridiculous compared to your drawings, guys, but...here goes.

This pic was made for the C.o.w #28. The theme was Guardian

Woops, forgot to say that my drawing has a title.

The title is ... Magnus Irae

It means great anger

Any of you guys pick up a pencil instead of a keyboard every so often? I used to draw all the time, but lost the urge after discovering computer music. I drew an entry recently for that monster collab Tom mentioned, and it felt good to get back to pen and paper.

i never pick the keyboard up

i can draw with a righthanded mouse and my left hand on the tablet, at the same time, beat that righthanded scum

I wish I was good at it...
I do like to paint though. Nothing great, just something that passes the time and gets my mind off of things.

Peppers

Is it a green.. yellow.. or red pepper?... Or a pablano?

My new name, working in albums

Yeah like you guys might have guessed, under the name 'Interwave'

Why that name? What's wrong with your NG one?

It sounds downright arrogant, with the 'himself'

ARE WE NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU!!? :'C

The community is reall nice, but if it comes to get your music you worked on for like a total of 3 full days (counted up), it's not a nice place when you're not a hyped artists. I mean, if you put just loads of effort in it, and like... 25 people get to listen to it, and then don't even bother reviewing, then it doesn't really drive me to put my work on. I'm not saying I won't ever put music on Newgrounds anymore, just the big works I started now, Interwave is my name for music I pour my soul in, I spend my time on and make with love and dedication.

My apologies for the wall of text.

Interwave?

Works fine by me. Have you made a new NG account for it as well.. or will you continue submitting here under MICHhimself?

Anywho.. I know what ya mean about NG. I love the people here.. the community is great. However... even if you manage to get a lot of listeners and such.. make a hit song or something.. under the current system... well.. it doesn't necessarily lead to overall popularity with listeners. That takes quite a while. (Or perhaps an extended stint on the top 30?)

On the other hand.. I don't really have much of a drive to put stuff somewhere else. Myspace.. I've had that for a while.. but that's not at all gonna really bring much exposure either. Decent for networking.. and in that manner.. it can bring exposure if you really work at it. (Going through and adding people at random... for example) But you basically have to bring people to your stuff. It's ridiculous. And similar things are no better. So... yeah.. I just make music when I feel like it and throw it up. Even if I do manage to "make it big" eventually.. well.. I'll still hang out here. Because I <3 joo guiz.

Drawing

I, too, enjoy drawing.

Interwave?
I'm not thinking of submitting my Interwave music on here, since it's far too much effort.
Maybe demos though. I just created the account, so no-one would pretend to be me.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not getting of newgrounds at all, I'm just serious about my music, and I go for it, but NG's not very rewarding for really hard work. I'll still submit songs on here, but not the best I can.
Though It might take even longer for songs to complete for 'MICHhimself' since I'm working on these projects hard now. And I already sucked at finishing songs XD

The community is just too great to leave :)

Also, drugs are bad.

Well appearantly they're not bad for you =O You create amazing music and drawings on drugs ^^
Just make sure you don't take too much and all :p Also, I'm not trying to get you to take more.. just saying

Myself, I fail at drawing, but I'm getting fairly good at photoshop

Surely psychedelics weren't involved here. ;D

Salvia Divinorum, to be exact for that picture.

Screw it. I'd rather write instead. But not really.

Now, that most certainly isn't a winner's attitude, is it? ;D

Never tried it. I hear good things though. Somewhat expensive from what I hear.. but legal. So I guess that's a plus. =P

I've got some really great ideas for paintings from other things... but jeez.. canvas and paint are really expensive.

I hear it's cheap as dirt and that most people fucking hate it.

I on the other hand quite enjoyed myself.

Erowid's archivestell of a mixed response...

Read some of the experiences, some are really odd...

Salvia
I'm not really sure I'd go into experimenting with stuff like that. Me, I'm more of a get-piss-drunk person. Don't really feel the need for those happy little things.

Salvia
I'm more of a stay-clean and sober person. I don't need drugs, alcohol or cigarettes to feel good. I feed on music.

It's not exactly a feel-good drug. More of a potent hallucinogen...

Salvia

Never again...

Ha, you're just a kid.

Salvia

meh, im too poor to try drugs of any kind. I'd go broke if I became addicted, it's not worth it for me at least
