I Need Feedback.

1 min read

To everyone who watches me and favorites my artwork:

Please leave comments and feedback.


I won't lie, I am a bit of flustered that little to no one comments on my work. If I don't receive feedback, I can't make improvements.


Also, if there is one thing I learned in college is that that the worst thing you can ever do to ANY artist, is not saying anything. By staying silent, I feel that submitting anything on this site is pointless.


So please, leave a comment, provide some feedback, help me move forward. Please and thank you.

Slowly Getting Back

1 min read

Hi everybody.

A lot of things have happened over the years. Slowly but surely, I will be adding more art again. My current job has given me confidence and the motivation to draw again. I still don't like how much this site has changed, but like Danny DeVito getting into a role for a movie/series, I'll learn to adapt. Here's hoping I can keep the momentum going. Please take care, everyone. :)

My Apologies to you all. Updated

This is about my latest journal entry. I was mad, immaturely mad. Yes, the middle finger emoji was unnecessary. Do I want to take it back? Yes I do, but erasing it won’t do it any good. I need live up to what I did and control my anger. As for the feedback, let’s be honest, I’m not very good at receiving it, especially when what I draw is intentional on certain areas. I do have a problem, and I hope to overcome it somehow, someway. 

I truly am am sorry for the way I acted recently, as I said, it was immature and indefensible, and I understand if you don’t want anything to do with me after that. If there is a way I can make up for it, I’ll do what is necessary. 

Please take care.

Update: What is confusing me is that even though my last journal was very negative, some are supporting me for making it. I was acting like an @$$hat. I don't understand.

I draw what makes me happy.

1 min read
It doesn't matter what I draw or how I draw it. Did it ever occur to anyone that I am finally drawing again?

Besides, I draw cartoons. Cartoons should have exaggerated features. If you want me to draw something more realistic, you are watching the wrong artist. And besides, THEY ARE NOT REAL! These type of people annoy me as much as those who STILL complain about Jessica Rabbit's design. Believe me, I know a feel people who still do that and I wish I could punch them in the throat.

Hell, because of my work schedule, anxiety, depression, art block, and little to no sleep, I rarely have enough time to draw. When I do, I feel happy knowing that I still can.

Bottom line, I draw what I draw because it makes me happy. Other artists have different styles, I don't complain about yours. You don't like some of the content I post or want me to change it, :bademoticon: .

Vent over.
