Farewell (for now)

PowerofWill · **Posted:** Sun Aug 02, 2015 10:37 pm

Well, it seems everyone in this hobby has to say this at least once, but as the title suggests, I must say farewell to the hobby for a while. I'm not leaving because I dislike it or anything like that, but I will be going on a trip that will last around 5 months. Needless to say, I will not be able to bring my miniatures and paint and other supplies with me. This will also likely be farewell to the forum as well, I'm not really sure what kind of internet access I'll have, or how much time I'll have to check, but I'll try and keep up as much as I can.
So, when do I leave? Later this month, about 2 and a half weeks from now. I just wanted to give everyone a heads up, and to say thank you for all of the good times I've had here these last 5 years. If it wasn't for you all, I would have given up this hobby a long time ago.
I'll try and be a little more active before I go, but I can't guarantee anything. I still have a lot of things to do to get ready, but I'll try.

It's sad to see you go as I have enjoyed following your progress and seeing just how good you can get with practice. Make sure you pick it up again once you come back though, someone with your painting talent can't just stop painting!

Look after yourself and make sure you stick your head in and say hi when you can.

You'll be back one day I have no doubt. Too much talent to quit.

I had at one point almost a whole year when I couldn't do any hobby stuff but I still wasted my time around the forums. :-P

Take care and come back when the trip is over.

I've gone thru bouts of no painting, sometimes by choice and sometimes by "force." As long as you want to come back, the hobby will be here. Good luck!

Thanks all! I'll be back, no doubt, I still have lots of things to learn and try out. I can't wait to see what you all get done while I'm gone, I'll have to dedicate a whole day to look at everything

The best of luck on your journey, adventure would be a word I prefer. I hope it brings you satisfaction.
5 months will go in no time, enjoy and come back refreshed and raring to go.

Well all, this is it. I'll be leaving in a couple hours. Sorry I never got on sooner, things just got busy. Like I said, I may be able to pop in every now and then, but until then, farewell!

Good news! It turns out that I have a better internet connection than I thought and it looks like I will be able to login regularly still. I still can't do any painting sadly, but at least I can stick around and hopefully give some useful feedback to people.
On another note, I did bring my drawing stuff with me and will be working on that for a bit. If you're interested in keeping up with that, here's a link to my non-lotr thread viewtopic.php?f=39&t=19300
I also thought that I'd take this opportunity to start seriously updating my CMON gallery. For some reason, being ranked 9463 out of 9643 just doesn't sit well with me. I've got a few up now, and there will be more to come. Here is a link to my gallery if you want to take a look and give them a rating http://www.coolminiornot.com/artist/Pow ... d=13081480
That's all for now, I'll hopefully have some new drawings up soon.

Glad to read that you are still with us. For a minute there I was thinking "I go away for a while and as soon as I get back, people leave!"

That's good! You're such a good painter that I'm sure that your criticism will still be very helpful.

Farewell (for now)
