To be honest, I don't really enjoy drawing any more. I haven't for a couple of years - it's more a chore than anything, that I just keep doing because I always have, and it would be strange to lose a part of me that's always been there. So I just don't produce as much any more. It's a pity, I wish I could find inspiration and motivation to improve. Maybe that's why I don't enjoy it any more.
But yes, so that new art is all I've got, unless I post some sketches - I did post a sketchdump on my LiveJournal a week or 2 ago if anyone feels particularly inerested - link is down the bottom of all my journals.
Soon I will be offering $25 bust commissions, like the ones I posted late last year, as I need to earn money while I'm looking for work. I'll also be selling a handful of anime artbooks soon, once I write up some buyer info for them. Stay tuned!

Like everyone else, I greatly enjoy your work, and am very sorry that it isn't enjoyable for you anymore. Drawing should be fun! Much as I love seeing your stuff, I would urge you not to force yourself to churn stuff out if you just aren't feeling it. In my experience, that just leads to shoddy art that looks forced and stiff, and then you feel that much more shittier and discouraged because of it.
But of course, the real world is very demanding, so if you need money, then doing those bust commissions is probably your best bet, given your skill and fanbase, so best of luck with getting and filling those!
I would suggest you do post your sketches. They are very good and shows you are still developing and creating art. The sketching and doodling might inspire you in itself.
I might post them in a big dump though, because you make a good point, and people like seeing sketches.
Post 'em wench! I didn't spend my late teens enviously trawling through your gallery for inspiration to have you quit on me and think you're crap! You ain't crap, you're far from crap!
So suck up this cycle of self degradation you appear to be experiencing and post em! Do it for your minions! You'll feel better!
I can't help the self-degradation, I'm built for pessimism and self-loathing.
Still feel that way my dear...still.

Aren't we all. Just shows you havn't let your talent and popularity go to your head... unlike many others. You know the type- "I am god! Worship me! I don't need to improve! It's my style!" - *smirk*
...man i wish i could be arsed to finish rendering something. lol
