Wednesday April 18th 2012, 9:18 pmThe climate of trust. It can be a tricky thing sometimes. Trusting in one’s own sense of worth, or in one’s own abilities. In that things can work out just fine even if it feels like it might not. In most cases things do work out. Trust can cause disappointments. It can be frustrating when you feel someone has lack of trust in you, when its unwarranted. Or making you feel that there is not trust in your capabilities. It can leave you with a sense of self doubt. Or giving you the impression that they believe deep down you’ve got some hidden agenda to get something over on them. And then there’s the flipside, trusting in someone else to have integrity, in the way they handle interactions with you. Trust is a complicated issue. Primarily due to not being able to be in another person’s head. But what I find is that when someone seems to have little trust in you without good reason, it makes you question whether you should trust in them. Because it can be hard to feel positive about that person who would think about you in such a negative way. Just one of the many notions about human behavioral conditions that cross my mind. This can play into how characters can interact within the context of a story. Different scenarios bringing out different aspects.
Trust Not To Trust

Hey there Ashley
I usually avoid ultimatums, and stick with perseverance. Just keep moving forward is my answer to all of my work.

I hear that!
Working toward getting into the comics field is already yielding the trust issues artists experience once within it. My head cycles from “Can I trust myself to get this done?” to “Will they trust I can do this again now that I’ve done it?” and finally “Will they keep their word about this project?”. Most of the time, I end up at my desk saying “This page isn’t going to draw itself! To hell with how it might turn out if I haven’t the fortitude to finish it!”
Do you ever give yourself ultimatums like this to keep you going when you’re steeping in self doubt?
