You put a lot of time and effort into your works, and you clearly love what you do, so I can't help but wonder, why your art is so underground. D:

You should have like a IOOO followers, I mean your shading/coloring is simply fantastic. >v<
Hmm, well, as long as you keep it up i'm sure you'll catch on eventually. ^v^

Keep up the awesome work fellow aspiring comic book artist! >vo

Thanks dude, it's nice to feel appreciated. :) Yeah, I love to create art and original characters and part of the struggle is obtaining some form of recognition. But I can keep going happily because the core of my experience isn't focused so much on getting followers (which will happen over time as I upload more art) but on the love of the creating process and sharing it broadly. I'll eventually get where I want to in terms of recognition with the help of others...but baby steps is the route I'm taking I guess.

Oh my gosh I love you even more now. XD
Do you know how many people get caught up in followers/likes/fans (all that stuff)?
...too many. <XD
Its not bad mind you, its just sad 'cause they lose sight of the true meaning of art, the joy you get out of it. OvO

So kudos to you for stickin to it. uvu

Thanks @FoxTail. I just happen to think that's a good philosophy to go by... Even when flipnote studio was around (which I was a member/user of), I pretty much felt the same way I do now about popularity and creating content, but I do happen to notice plenty of trends such as the general populous usually catering to fan art or series inspired OC's of popular characters/franchises. Especially in the case of video games (which is a given since we are using video game consoles to communicate) and anime-themed art. There's not much fault I find in it (though it does make it harder for people who were already in the niche' crowd to find a proper place in the gist of it all, unless they like where they currently are or prefer roaming). I was personally never the fan art or commission type but I might change that in the future as I develop more as an artist, leaning especially towards commissions.
