Holy balls.
So it seems that ending Draw Roulette was the ultimate publicity stunt: 200 new followers, Christ knows how many reblogs, and a lot of people sending me emails - either asking for custom drawings (which I promise I will get to once my exams are done in Monday) or asking whether I’m really retiring, or doing a Kenny Rogers and pretending to retire so I can make an illustrious comeback a year later.
There may be more in future, but they’ll be extremely irregular and I am not Kenny Rogers. Chat Roulette has changed fundamentally lately; the option to only connect to other people with live cams has been removed, so you get way more blank connections than when I started. So you get one live person for every ten blank screens, and when you consider that only about 1 in 10 of those live people take the bait and see it through, that means in excess of 100 click-throughs to get one drawing. It’s getting much harder to do what I did when I started; on my first night I had a month’s worth of Draw Roulette in the bag. I tried a few weeks back and only managed to get two useable drawings. It’s a little disheartening, but there’s nothing to be done about it.
I had a lot of fun doing it though, and it’s been excellent practice - I went from being a shitty artist to being a slightly less shitty one, and began taking drawing seriously; I went out and bought a graphics tablet at long last, something I’ve been on the fence about for a long time. I’ve started writing comics, and making them on a regular basis. Draw Roulette was a kick up the arse in that respect. And I met some primetime, grade-A freakazoids that I would never have met otherwise.
So that’s how it is.
This post ended on a bit of a down-note, so here’s the greatest song of all time.
