Well I changed my layout... AGAIN. It is pretty much the same but GREATLY improved. I'm trying to change my icon. I hate the size we have now. It seems like everywhere you look all icon sizes are 50 x 50 or 100 something. We are like stick in the middle. And nobody makes icons in this size.

Also another thing that bugs me is well.... I don't know how to say this without sounding spoiled and stuff. But I guess I feel weird because what I draw gets practically no attention. And I know that my stuff isn't like super good or anything. But doesn't it bug you when you work hard on something, you really like the outcome, but no body pays any attention to it? Its weird too....I got more comments on an MS paint picture of Zim and Gir than I do on a regular good picture. (Like the one I just recently uploaded.)

And maybe one of the main problems is my characters. I mean if you take one look a 63 you would think he is an emo wannabe or something like that. But he isn't. There is an explanation to it. But I can never get myself to write it all down. It's weird when I think of it... You all have only seen doodles of most of my characters. Do you know who Peace, Dante, and Erik are? Of course you don't. Peace and Dante only appeared in one picture and that was one with personality profiles of most of my Emotion characters. And what about Erik? I never drew him and the 3 other characters here for you to see. I have made up so many stories of their adventures. I have thought about it a lot. And yet no one else knows. Because in a way I can never get myself to write it all down. And if I did who would read it? Which brings me to my original complaint......

Another thing that bugs me is that people often say something isn't original. And I have said it to in my lifetime. But most ideas aren't original anymore. Ever heard of the video game Psychonauts? It's about psychics. Well if someone just told you that you wouldn't think it's very original. But what makes it interesting and "original" is how they presented it and how they made there characters. What they say, do, act. All of this makes things seem original.
(I'm not saying I hate Psychonauts in any way. It's one of my favorite games. But I simply used it as an example.)
So if anyone looked at my whole Emotions idea they may think it is unoriginal. Heck I have SEEN people have ideas similar to this. But before you dismiss the whole idea please give me a chance to show you that something in this idea is original. The characters are something that's different. They may not look it but they are. This also reminds me of the old saying "You can't judge a book by its cover." Well... I never thought how true those words were.

I'm not yelling at anyone. And I'm not trying to make you all feel sorry for me. These are just feelings that have been bugging me for awhile. And this is a good way for me to get these things out. But most of it is my fault to. If I want you to know more about my characters then I should show you instead of complaining. I should do something productive which is why I am thinking of making character sheets of all of my people, even those not in my Emotions thing. It will take along time but I think I may be able to do it. I hope I can for I think I have some good ideas and I want to share it with all of you.

Thank you Shezzy for listening to my rant. I really appreciate it. And even if no one reads this.. At least it's out there for you all to see.
