How Do You Do -- Cascada. LOVE CASCADA
If anyone at all was wondering about my inactivness here and think it's because of Pokemon Diamond, well, that's part of it.

I've been spending more time over on DA as a result of Pokemon and Kingdom Hearts... again. On DA i expect the numerous favs over comments (and we all know that's what most artists moan about a lot, and i'm no exception) but not so much on SA. So it basically drives me away as i'm a fickle person. There are more people on DA to get away without commenting all the time, but when i put up a pic here it get's a quater of the comments compared to favs. I often wonder if people even look at what they fav or just go "OMFG AXEL FAVFAVFAV".

I can't make friends well and i usually get to know people through my sub-par art. They comment me frequently which makes them an awesome person so i watch them and comment/fav them back. This usually means i don't watch many people but the ones i do watch i consider better friends and sometimes either i or they will get talking and we end up better friends! That's happened here on SA much faster than on DA. I'd say i have... four awesome-possum friends from SA! They're so cool~

That being said i'm going through my gallery later tonight to delete some of the crap and will probably only be puting up not much art other than OCs. I know i have a bad habbit of breaking my word but nowadays i never really feel like posting on SA o___O

It's a weird feeling and i wish i could just say what i really feel, but even when writing this i know i'm not putting the whole truth of my feelings. I would say i've been upset for a few months now but that's doesn't seem like the right word... and i never get properly depressed as i'm always usually constantly happy. I just generally hate my art but love my friends. I just like to moan a lot too ;D

So yeah, i'm putting up more original stuff and less fanart, so the 90% of my watchers who like Kingdom Hearts... buggar. It's not a loss really. Only good artists can be lost, No worries :3

Besides, i love my Isaac, mahahahah! He's everywhere!

This was kinda a good ol' fashioned moanbitchwhinecomplain journal all fanartists do, yey~ I shall expect less favs/comments on my original cell-shaded crap, good day!

I wish i'd played as a boy in Pokemon Diamond and called him 'Isaac' now xD I've got one more Art Trade to do and a few samll pieces of Giftart as well. Three people (on here and DA) deserve the best i can do for all the love they showed me! I'm gonna get to be a real good artist so people'll like them! Could take a few years though xD;;;;

Plus, have people's pageviews gone down again? I was sure i had 3,000+ before o.o

Isaac!

I know whatcha mean about the whole fanart thing, If I posted a crap picture of sora I'd be guaranteed more faves than say one of my original characters that I feel looks much better. Personally I'd fave something that was original over fanart as I think the artist has spent more time designing, and making a background story to the character which makes it seem more real than something that an anonymous artist who works in the game/anime industry. Anyhoo more Isaac isn't a bad thing *loves*

I'm guilty of faving without commenting. Its usually just because alot of people have already commented on what i was going to comment, and i just feeling like i'm copying comments...weird yeah but it makes me feel a lil guilty

Yeah, I'm not going on here much either... @@; Though sometimes, I like it here better, but that usually only lasts a few minutes. If only you could change your layout template on DA, then I'd be a crackhead. xD!

Speaking of friends, those people that go "can I be your friend?" drive me up the walls. D:

And... the world needs more OCs. If people have something Naruto/KH/Whatever else is popular nowadays, it'll get like, tons more favs than original characters. X_X Even if the pic is bad. *sees it all the time*

There is a huge difference between here and DA. I think because the community is smaller people sometimes become closer to each other, and becasue you can customize alot more here everything becomes alot more personal. Maybe I'm just insane.

I'm actually really excited to see more Isaac. When I first saw your new banner I squeed at the sight of his sparkly tears. And your art is not sub-par! Your art is fantastic because its in your style! You could be one of those people who draw fanart directly from the book, but you dont. Your origional and you draw what you want to draw from the heart and that makes you a fantastic artist.

And even though your a shy person your also really nice, which sounds weird because I've only known you through the interent for a short amount of time. Oh gosh I hope thats not creepy weird sounding. I'll cry if it is. But, I totaly know what your saying about loving your friends and hating your art. I always want to draw something for my friends, and then I do and afterwards I'm like 'well this sucks'.

I hope you come back to sheezy soon. Alot of people miss you. Your a fantastic artist and I cannot wait to see some more of your bishieriffic OCs.

Well, anyone who talks to me for 5 minutes will know I love Kingdom Hearts, but I'm ashamed to think I only watch you for KH fanart You're artistic skill is amazing, I love seeing how you color the most (drool worthy coloring skills you have) and you're style is just so cool! Now I don't go after every piece of KH fanart and fave it, mostly just you cause it's cuter than the rest. I don't have any OCs cause I'm not that creative..... I actually have just one, and I barely ever draw her. And she's the reason I have this account, LOL. But..... ahem...... I don't know how you can hate your art. It's lovely! You could totally have an art career somewhere (unless you already do and I just wasn't paying attention ). I hope you don't delete too much, even if it is KH and other fanart, it's still art progress. I have some ugly crud in my gallery, which I know I might delete one day, but it's there just to show how much I've improved (which isn't much!).
Sorry you're so down, I guess I know how you feel, having everyone love your fanart but not your own characters! No one really gives Diana any love, maybe that's why I don't draw her. Forgive me for not being up on commenting on much of your art lately, but I do look!
I probably have so many emoticons in this comment it's scary. I think I'll stop here. Anyways, I do hope you keep uploading at SA. I don't have a DA account, so I can only look forward to it here!

I needs to finish our trade, too, but school and work (...and Pokemon...>.> <.< have been keeping me away from my sketchbook. T^T But I'm honestly not one of those people who watch artists because they only like fanart - I love seeing people's stories and character even more than fanart, and I'm getting pretty sick and tired of subpar art getting frontpage just because it happens to feature Naruto when there's so much more art out there getting overlooked because it's not fanart. ¬¬ I guess it's sad to say but fanart really does make a person popular, even if his or her art isn't nearly half as good as someone else's.

But I love your art! It's so cute~ And your characters are definitely squeeable (Jeo and Issac and Granvil!!! ), so I say bring on more OC's, damitt!! The world needs more of them!!

I shall forever watch you! lol and yes I am starting to do art again! more or never the less poekmon art. . .well trying to make the poekmon look more real . . .ok so its just the dragons but hey if its a hit then I'll start up a fan comic. . . using the D/P story line! If you want to you can be in it ^^ but yes the world needs more OC's! I love your Oc and I do have a picture of dragonair on my com somewhere that needs to be finished so I'll do that and then get to work on my semi-real pokemon pics ^^

I do try to comment on all your pics but my damn com is so slow

Kyoumi Says:

I probably would watch you on DA if I found you. ;; And I like your art; it has a really original style to it. Boxy and such. And sort of cutesy. But I can't really see you drawing dark stuff.

I hardly ever comment on artwork, but I do comment on journals quite a bit. I wonder why?


Anywho, can you tell me your DA account, or give me a link? Then I can find you and watch you! :3

P.S. I usually like original work better than fanart, but that's just me. I have no idea why. Maybe I'm not a huge KH fan, though I do like the games. C:
