hm...just so tired of it all, that i lost all will to work on my digital drawing stuff...i just don't care about them. And it's really hard just to open up the file...
but on a good note I listened to NIghtwishes new cd Dark Passion Play, which features their new vocalist. Who I think is freakin awesome, and who i also think sings the older NW songs much better than the previous.Annette adds something Tarja never did, which was a sense of emotion and vibe to her singing, though she is still good she never sang with emotion to me and sometimes skills shit with way too much vibrato. Also the opening song on the album is almost 14 min and its full of win.
And I also like the Amaranth video a lot. I think the visuals intruments and vocals and as a whole bend the music video into a cohesive piece thst invokes emotion. Nightwish is one of my favorite gothic/symphonic metal bands next to Eye Leaves, and Cradle of Filth.
talent:4 a:a special natural ability or aptitudeb: general intelligence or mental power :ability5: a person of talent or a group of persons of talent in a field or activity
..I never believed in talent...At least I think I don't. To me talent never existed only hard work and knowledge did. Through long hours of study one can become proficient in a certain field of study. Talent...'a special natural ability or aptitude'. How can someone be naturally proficient at something? or outta the blue just be good at something without practice or study? I hate it when people say other are talented and praise them for it...if they're so talented they don't need praise, praise should come from hard work and study where that praise is actually earned. If one is talented then it was no trouble at all to be proficient or to accomplish something. Maybe talent is a word used by outsiders to the said persons talent because they do not see or know of the hard work or study they did to achieve their proficiency. Maybe hard work and talent are one in the same...hm...but according to one of my teacher he's seen: "hard work beat talent many times''...w/e none of this really makes sense anymore.
hm...where to start....well beginning at the beginning makes sense... Alright don't mean to sound like I'm arrogant but at A.I. many of my peers and classmates see me as an Elitist. They often call me their 'art lead' 'game wizards lead' and if they need help they always come to me and I gladly help em out to improve their stuff. They always look up to me and say things like 'oh that's so good' or 'fucking awesome' etc...and it made me feel like i was their role model or some shit...well yeah even in my game modeling and animation class I do surprisingly well, even up against two people who I consider Elitists. Every game modeling assignment I've always come out on top of the rest of the class even beating out the other two guys, and even my teacher was impressed many times by my work. Well this assignment didn't go so well, pretty much everyone in the glass got negative remarks on their work, and my teach said to me that I've always set a high standard in the class and this time around I didn't meet it. And I agreed that it wasn't my best work I didn't take offense of it at all(or I didn't outwardly show it, unlike most of the class)...but what got to me was at break a lot of my friends said they were surprised by the teachers comments on my work...and really I felt like I let myself down, I let the teachers expectations down, and I let my friends down. Upon hearing my friends comments(and how the teacher ripped everyone up) I just said oh well you take it and just get better. I said it with confidence like as if none of the comments the teacher said to me and my classmates affected me negatively. I do think that getting your work torn up makes you better, but I felt like I couldn't be mopey about the teachers comments b/c I've got ppl who look up to me and think I'm so great...so in a way I couldn't act the way they did or feel bad about the comments. B/c if they saw me like that what would that set as an example? maybe I'm being arrogant or an elitist but I've always done good 3d work and I've always helped out everyone I can...then they sorta pushed me into this natural leader/lead kinda guy and how I feel like I can't express my doubts, or worries, or show that the teachers comments did in fact bring me down.....I feel like I've got no one i can convey it too or discuss it...I don't even know if any of this makes sense or why I'm even posting such inner thoughts..........
