How Strange It Is

I've recently been going through my gallery and deleting some of my deviations that I find... unappealing for various reasons. I still have them, but I've decided that I no longer want them cluttering up my page, and just feel that they don't really reflect well on my skill now, or at the time. Still, it feels strange to get rid of them once and for all. I mean, I still have them on file, but it still feels like I'm deleting a little part of my own history from the record books. Like visitors are just going to scroll through my gallery and just be missing a chunk of my story as a so-called artist. Or maybe I'm just being mellow dramatic and should just quiet down and get on with the spring--er summer cleaning...

In other news, I've abandoned my attempt to draw Daft Punk.. for now. I might complete the one I started... I might start over... or I just might never do it period, but either way, it's on the back-burner for now. I'm going to move on to something else and see if I find my way back to it someday. Still no clue what I'm going to draw next, though. I'm considering re-drawing one of the old pieces that I deleted because it was just too terrible it burned my poor eyes to look at it. Do kind of a before&after thing again with the "Draw This Again" meme that seems to float onto my dA page from time-to-time. If I decide to go through with it, here's a hint to what it would be. It was originally titled "Failure" and it has everything to do with Assassin's Creed. Which, for some of my watchers, that's going to be an absolute thrill and the rest will be scratching their heads.

Anywho, regardless, I'll have a new drawing up for you guys soon.

Until then.

I like Gi1t's solution. I've always been against hiding or deleting art history unless it was actually socially important, because most people (atleast people who take art seriously) won't make judgements based on old pieces if they have something newer with better technique to compare it to. I've disappointed myself by disposing of some of my old creative fruits, and it's disappointed me hugely when people I admire have done it, so I pretty adamantly advise against it, just because I can't go back and look at it for memories or comparison. The main loss for me is memories, because the object I've subconsciously linked them to are gone, and the artist is not at all the only person with memories associated with a piece l: 3
