I have not so much as logged in in ages. Seriously, it's been a while.

Anyway, I've decided to come back to using this website, if every once in a while. And one thing I want people to know is that I've very much improved in my drawing ability. I'll update with devinations soon.

I also want to mention that I will create a graphic noval. I'm still learning the ropes of creating it, and I still have much to learn in terms of drawing, but I will become published, sooner or later, sometime in the future. And I am creating my own genre of manga, which will come to be known as "unisex", or "for both females and males".
It sounds kind of pretensious and a little arrogent, I know. But what I mentioned are not dreams; they are goals, and I'm going give it my all to reach them.
Now I'm going to do a little recollection...

...When I was a freshmen in high school, I met this guy, who drew "Dragonball Z" type anime. He was absolutely not the one who got me into drawing anime/manga in the first place, but for a while I considered him a friend, and I admired his ability in art. However, when I first started attempting to draw manga/anime myself, it was clear he looked down on my work, even made fun of it, with no consideration for my feelings. At one point he even suggested that I had no talent whatsoever and that my drawings were terrible. It went beyond artistic critique; the guy eventually went out of his way to put down whatever I did, as though he was the only one capable of churning out a graphic noval one day. By the time I left the school at the end of my freshmen year, I considered him to be the most arrogent, callous dick in the world. I also considered him a rival, someone to compete against, to prove to him that my ability and potiental as an artist was to be respected and not laughed at as nonexistant.

Since leaving that school, I have improved beyond anything I ever expected, and have been praised by every single art teacher and professor. My need for story-telling and spreading my message is actually surpassing my need to prove those who told me "you can't do it" wrong. However... a tiny bit of rebellious-ness and fire inside me still flickers and turns into a roaring flame when I remember every single person who told me I would never make it as a manga artist, and those who laughed at my artwork and mocked my goal of making an awesome graphic noval series one day. Also, I've seen what others whom I don't want to "lose to" if you will, can do, and I want to surpass them. I will not lose to them.

So my goal of creating a graphic noval series is not a dream by any means, because it's just that; a goal, because I will get there sometime in the near future. I will make it happen.

Right now, I'm working on my style of drawing, and my style of story-telling; I want it to be a mix of shonhen and shojo; a shonhen-style manga for females, or "unisex". As for the manga itself, I'm working on the core elements and the basic story-line, and it's coming along nicely; everything is falling into place on it's own.
I'll update later more about it later on. I might not even be on this site that often, but I just wanted to give a decent update, to show people I'm still alive and that I'm still working hard on my artwork.

Expect some devination updates in the upcoming weeks. Thanks for reading, whoever sees this.
