If anyone's been wondering, I'm not dead.

My last semester of College is gonna be starting at the end of the month, so I'll be somewhat busy again.

The reason why I haven't been updating is because of this:

I have hit a bit of an artistic road block. I haven't really been able to do any real drawing lately, including the Beetlejuice Comic. But recently, I've done my first Art Meme, which I will post shortly.

I will try to get back into drawing again, but it might take a while because of my roadblock.

Girl, I've had a roadblock for years. That's why I don't do much art anymore. But I've been able to do some, and (I think) it's just as good as it ever was.

So don't worry how long it takes for the block to alleviate. Maybe you could try not even desiring to draw, and give your creative juices a rest, so to speak. Then one day, you'll be like, WHOA! I wanna draw that! And poof, block gone. =P You could also try doing art in different genres. I know that if I do too much art of one kind of thing, it gets stale and the desire to do more fades. Try broadening your artistic spectrum. haha! :)

Hope I've helped. And here's to you doing well in the new semester! :toast:

Glad to hear from you, Spencers13. And yes, you've helped a bit.

That's why I haven't worked on the Beetlejuice Comic so much. Not only was it geting a bit repetative doing the comics, but it was becoming harder for me to draw certain scenes and figuring out how to continue when I was slowly losing my interest. I mean, I love the series and your story a lot, but I was having trouble figuring out how to do your story justice when I haven't seen the Beetlejuice series all the way and couldn't remember how certain characters and area's looked.

I've also tried to draw something else, dabbing into other genres and shows. That's helped out alot, but there are people out there that just want me to do the Beetlejuice Comic. Take for example, my latest Sonic the Hedgehog drawing: I did a great job on it and the only comment was that it was ok and when was I gonan draw more Beetlejuice. I just want to draw what I feel like drawing and not be stuck drawing just one subject.

Sorry about that rant. Its just that your words sparked a fuse in my brain and made me type out my thoughts.

Hey, when people bug you for "more Beetlejuice, when are you gonna do more Beetlejuice", just ignore it. I've been doing that for a while. I've been known for my BJ art/writing for over 10 years, and that's all people want from me. It hurts when I try to do other things like my oc's Kyle and Endri, and people brush it off just because it isn't Beetlejuice or Lydia themselves. It's like I'm tight-casted in a role I don't want to stay in constantly. I believe you're in pretty much the same position, though I don't think you've been at it as long.

Don't let those people bug you, or it'll drag you down too far. Do what you want, even if it won't get you as many comments or praises. You need to make yourself happy before anything else.

And let me know if you're having difficulty doing the comic (if you're going to continue working on it). If you need reference, I could either find it for you, or draw it myself. Heck, it might get me motivated to draw more too! We could help each other out. :) Please, ask me if you need help. Beetle Babes need to stick together. Haha! :XD:

And I'm glad you felt you could say whatever came to mind. Feel free to do that any time with me. :) Oh, and you can call me Lacey. Only people I'm not friends with call me Spencers13. =P
