When I started this blog I was eager to have a post almost everyday. In the last couple of months the number started to dwindle because of my graduation. Well, starting tomorrow, I will be working full time with lots of overtime likely. This is going to have a big cut back on my spare hobby time, which will probably happen on weekends from now on. Which will affect my blog as well. Hobby-wise, I’m still going strong. I’m about to finish all of what I’ve planned for my Saim-Hann army and start building and painting Skaven soon. I don’t want to become one of those blogs or project logs that start with a big bang to wither and fade away later. Sadly, if I don’t get around painting I don’t have anything to show here as well. However I’m aiming for two postings a week, so please bear with me even though the updating frequency will become lower.

Thanks a lot, we appreciate any help to continue and grow Tale of Painters 🙂
Post when you can! I understand the pressures of work / children etc but it has to be done.
Keep posting; your work is very inspirational!
I second that. I check your blog regularly and love your work.
I have the same issue, it can be really hard at times. Work can ware you down and make you choose between hobby and relaxing. The later usually wins, but keep your motivation as best you can and post when you get the chance. It's about all that can be done when it comes to the struggle of real life vs. hobby.
To keep oneself motivated is the most important thing, that's why I say: your work is a great inspiration for all of us and reminds us to keep working as well!
I feel your "pain". In the same boat at the moment.
Just remember that in our business, free time is really important in order to be creative at work. Especially when you have deadlines approaching and suddenly have to work until 20:00 for a week.
Post when you can, I'll be here ooh'ing and aaah'ing at your eldar (and Ultramarines). 🙂
