Over the past year, increased regulatory pressure in multiple regions like UK OFCOM and Australia's eSafety has led to higher operational costs, including infrastructure, security, and the need to work with more specialized service providers to keep the site online and stable.

A couple of months back I was interested in video editing. I thought it was something I could pursue. I was mistaken. I'm frustrated writer/poet. Too many rejections. Failures. I only had one poem published online. Fml.
It was included on the January online issue of the Philippines Free Press in 2012. Sadly they're no longer in circulation and the main site has been taken down. I still have the email from the literary editor though (pathetic I know) and of course the poem itself.
I used to draw on paper, and my subject matter was mostly damaged characters with pensive/maniacal expressions looking into the middle distance.
I got a graphics tablet about 50 days ago, and since then I've racked up 5 incomplete drawings, all stuck at the first layer. I can't find the energy to proceed further. I have some reference images for the character open in a nearby tab, and I often try to go further, only to erase what I do in frustration.
I was also learning the guitar, but this inescapable lethargy that seems to pervade my life has prevented me from even removing the bubble wrap I put onto it for the flight back to college.

Well, this is as far as I got on the last one. It's supposed to show the first and last bodies we see for Alita. (I haven't finished the manga, so that part might turn out wrong. I just wanted an excuse to include Alita with the broken arm and the wooden stump.)
The news of the movie prompted me to finish the manga, but then I stopped again, midway through Last Order. Fuck me and my low attention span, I used to be able to focus before.
EDIT: Forgot to mention - for the ones who can't understand the gibberish coming due to me geeking out, it's based on a 90's manga called Battle Angel Alita.

I know exactly how you feel it was the same for me at first. Best thing is too look at the tutorials people have made. If you need any help feel free to ask me I use fl studio
I kinda dunno my kind of music lol. I just know they're never good enough to me. But some people like them. I can send you a link to my soundclou account if you want.
I know that being sad drives us into some mad creativity that lead us to art. Some make poetry, some make drawings, some make music (me). It's a shame that we don't give value to our production because we think we are a punch of garbage when we're depressed. So do you guys have some way to express your feelings through art ?
Yup, I'm a rapper, I have 3 full albums out on every music platform you can think of, and I've been on tour across all of Canada. I consider myself a legit artist.
I started drawing in March and haven't stopped since. I've been doing a ton of watercolor paintings also.. I've tried several mediums but found what I like so I'm sticking to it.
Look at Van Gogh. I always thought his paintings were technically awful - I could do better myself. However, they also managed to somehow move me in a way other artists couldn't. He put himself into his work. And look what happened to him.

How are Van Goghs paintings technically awful? Have you studied art? Maybe the composition isn't the greatest but a lot of his works are really sketches that become paintings.. The story is in the brush strokes. Van Gogh is a legendary painter and there's no way in hell anybody here could do anything better.. his style has been immortalized.

I did study art, and was an artist for a while. Was just my opinion though, I'm happy to admit I may be wrong. However, he still remains one of my favourite artists. That was kind of my point - I love his work but can't really put my finger on why.
