I hope you'll find peace within yourself. It's a pity you took all your stuff away.


I understand low self-esteem, though. It's hard. But I don't think it's impossible to work with. I think the trick is to let go of things. Let go of perfectionism and high expectations on yourself.


You're a smart person. I've enjoyed your conversations, especially the science stuff.


Wish you all the best,

from one low self-esteem person to another!

Thanks anyway though!

Hi, Vann. Are you ok? Could you send me a note if you can, please?  Take care.

Vannjaren In reply to dodark [2018-06-25 20:27:01 +0000 UTC]

Oh, hi dude...
I'm not exactly ok - have been working through a lot of tricky personal stuff recently, as well as severe recurrent depression (something not new to me but it has been worse recently).
But I'm still alive, if that's what you're wondering.
Thanks for the concern anyway, even if I'm not online much at the moment.

Thank you for owl you've done in faving  "It's all in the eyes..."       

That frowning bird looked as if he had irritable owl syndrome but glad you liked it anyway
Owl all right I'll stop but I'm not sorry about the puns I don't give a hoot        
Plus of course thanks for making the additional faves. Have a good weekend Vann

THIS IS THE CUTEST FUCKING THING I'VE SEEN TODAY, I thought I should show you too.

ELEPHNTSSSSS.

Not sure if the tiny trunk in the first photo is fake or not, though.

Vannjaren In reply to JWiesner [2018-04-03 17:38:03 +0000 UTC]

Eeeeeh, elephants! <3
And heh, I don't know either - the straightness seems unusual but not impossible, could be either way I think since I know they will hold their trunks up out of the water if need be, so... maybe? 
Cute nonetheless in the second photo. <3

And on the topic of cute cephalopods, have a teeny tiny flamboyant cuttlefish hatchling next to a coin - 78.media.tumblr.com/e876b4f4e6…

Holy crap, I'm also impressed at how well that photo turned out. Given it's such a small animal. :U

Haha, the flamboyant cuttlefish is also mentioned in this funny short documentary about cuttlefish (the guy makes many funny short docus):

Yeah, it's an impressive shot - I think taken at an aquarium, but still - not easy to get such a clear photo of such a tiiiiny cuttlefish hatchling! <3

Ha, NICE... I think I gotta check out more of those, I like his style

This is a very late reply thanking you for faving the sunset & the snowscape. The excuse is

we've just been away for nearly a month visiting Cape Town   and Dubai 

but at least I've found you some new captures for future submission Vann.

Please do keep on watching???

Ah, don't worry about it - and I hope you had a great time in Cape Town and in Dubai - love your new photos, just dropped in to have a look at them - heh, now it's MY turn to apologise for being late to respond...
Ah well, better late than never, right?

Sorry I haven't responded to your always amazing feedback about your ideas and life and crazy creativity. Been neglecting DA something serious but you keep me coming back just read your responses lol. I was wondering if you have a Facebook or even an FA account? I'm way more active on FB lately mainly because I can upload videos of my projects which, you really gotta see them move to appreciate them.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Vannjaren In reply to McFlabwobble [2018-02-11 13:02:51 +0000 UTC]

Aww, don't worry about it - I've been semi-gone from here for a while because of stupid damned exams. URGH.
And ah, I don't have Facebook or FA, but I DO have a Tumblr account (under the same name) - and have some WIPs of 3D projects there - a cheetah skull, a Panthera leo spelaea skull, and an update on my 3D Kroven that I'm re-doing lately.
If I was on Facebook I'd totally follow your projects though, your works are amazing and I love how the videos really show what they can do!

Our brief experience of snow has gone for now. Unlike the Inuit people with many words 
for snow, if it does fall in the UK we only have one word for it  -  chaos          
Glad you liked the snow scene enough to fave it Vann             

Please do keep on watching???

Vannjaren In reply to cricketumpire [2018-01-20 17:14:13 +0000 UTC]

Ha, yeah, the UK doesn't cope so well with snow - which personally I find kinda stupid, heh, it's not like we never get it. In Northern Ireland at least we tend to get quite a bit of it, it's still here now. ^^ (where I live anyway, near the top of the country up a hill XD)
And no problem at all! ^^
Ah, I'm afraid I don't have time to add anyone else to my watchlist, being a final year medical student and all, but that doesn't mean I can't still drop in now and then and take a look. ^^

Of course you can. I vaguely remember the same imperatives from my school and university days. That was a lifetime ago now but you'll find the effort and sacrifice worthwhile I'm sure - as will all your patients!
