I've thought about it, and done it, and thought about it some more, and changed my name three or four times, done it some more, and then thought about it again. My problem with considering myself an artist and more importantly enjoying my own work is that when I write and draw, shortly after (within the year), I usually know what I had in mind. I know what it means. I know all of the things I consider flaws. I can't see past that to enjoy it for what it is without a lot of time away from it. This is why no matter how much porn and similar I draw, I rarely ever revisit it for its intended use. It's the same reason why I have trouble starting fiction: If I wrote the fic, I wouldn't even read it. So making things for myself outside of handycrafts and programming turns out nearly-moot for me aside from skill building.
