Umm, I don't know if this is normal ^^; But anyways.
So, as I believe some of my watchers may have noticed, the content and style and whatnot of the stuff I post here variates remarkably sometimes, and I think that's actually ok. But the thing that bothers me more is my tendency of always getting... A bit obsessed by new things, in other words how I'm jumping unpredictably from fandom to fandom. Like you can notice in my gallery: KH -> FMA -> Amnesia (getting darker and darker lol :noes:)

So what I'm worried about here is that I'm letting some of you people down, because I haven't posted anything for example KH related in here for quite a while. And that's why I feel a bit guilty every time I spam your inboxes with some new kind of fancrap that most of you former watchers couldn't be less interested in. I'm so sorry :iconpapcryplz:

I want you to know though that this doesn't mean I'll never do pics about my "old" fandoms again! The fact that I haven't submitted anything related to them in some time doesn't mean that I wouldn't have feels towards them anymore! ;__; ♥
from I-so-totally-didn't-cry-my-f*ng-eyes-off-again-while-re-watching-the-last-ep-of-FMAB-the-other-night and so-totally-not-working-my-arse-off-to-synthesize-the-Ultima-weapon-just-to-beat-the-hell-outta-Ansem-and-Xemnas-and-Sephy-and-everyone-else-left-this-time-with-pride


So yeah, I guess I'm the one that's most anxious about this and that none of you have even very much thought about this but... Haha... :iconorzplz:
Sorry.
It's ok, honest. :'D
dafuq :|

I'm just gonna go... eat something... or... yah...










BTW, I won't be able to post anything for a while now, because I'm travelling around Finland >.>, since it's summer vacation and all~ :D I'll surely sketch A LOT though. Might even finish something. :o Will visit here nevertheless!

I'll be damned if I'm the first one to post here. But you know what? This particular issue is something I'm dealing with friends right now, and I'm not gonna pretend like I don't have serious opinions about it.

But I'm gonna start by saying that the variety is totally awesome, and perfectly understandable. I would be disappointed if most people didn't strive to do something different. Trying as many new things with art makes a lot of sense to me!

The whole... "becoming obsessed with something DIFFERENT!"...

Well my problem is that I've dealt with people who will become obsessed with something new and they'll never want to think/talk/be interested in A N T Y T H I N G else. Like, at all. And I'm just not that obsessive as a person. I don't really like becoming really, really obsessed with things at a drop of a hat. I like to just enjoy things. To me, it's almost like trying to sip and enjoy a cup of tea and watching some other people I know trying to drown themselves in it. I'm so ridiculously biased about this issue because I know people who just veg out on a computer for hours and reblog every last f***ing thing that relates to the newest thing they love, and them watch them move on as though nothing ever happened. AJKSNAOHJ)*GEUOISODIJoui It's no way to enjoy ANYTHING if you only enjoy it for a season, you know?!?!

What you like is what you like, though. And since you're posting this blog about it, something in me tells me that you actually care about what other people think/feel and that's very sweet of you. I don't doubt that part of why I'm finding you reasonable is also because you listed KH and FMA and I happen to love those things too, though I've loved KH for so long that I'm actually less likely to want to talk about it. I love some of the selected characters but I think the plot is just terrible now... but who knows.

As an artist, I find you incredibly talented and I don't care if its the Elric Brothers or Riku. If the art is good, it's good. You have an incredible style and it can be demonstrated through different characters and setting and if it doesn't change up every once in a while, it may never become fertile. If you draw something that has no relation to a fandom, hey! Even cooler! It's difficult to try something of your own velocity after all. That hard part as an artist when you have a completely empty canvas and your brain, after taking in so many images of the world around it, has to attempt to spit something out that others can observe and understand. That stuff is harddddd. But no one should ever believe they can't try.

I just thought I'd let you know that one of your watchers had thoughts on the issue. I'm looking forward to your return and seeing whatever you post next ;) But if it's Avengers/Supernatural/Black Butler... I may ignore unless it's REALLY DAMN GOOD. I'm just -- oh don't even worry about it.

Take care!!! -Vee

P.S. - You lucky jerk, off in Finland. I have never been and I imagine it must be really pretty. askdjasiodasoidmxcnvskljdf8swerusdf

Oooooh, your comment made me excited~ So many thoughtful words, that happens quite rearly you know? And I must say that I agree with you.

Of course, if some of my friends would suddenly get so comprehensively obsessed over something that there would be almost nothing else left... That would be alarming. Luckily I've never gone that far yet (wait, isn't that what dangerously addicted people always claim...? :paranoid:) If I happen to come across something that affects my feelings through great characters, interesting storyline or unique atmosphere, I might get inspired by it. Art stems from feelings after all, at least if you ask me! Then, if that interest and inspiration lasts longer, I tend to talk about it as one of my 'obsessions'.
Though I must admit I also enjoy to merely poke fun with plotholes, discrapencies and such. Just for the fun of it. :XD:

Thanks for your kind words. I'm reliefed that at least you still find me somehow reasonable, because I think I do care and that's exactly why I'm holding myself not to post just any brainfart that I come up with during midnight sketching. That's what sketchdumps are for

I enjoy original art too! Original works aren't "chained" to a ready-made storyline, and that's both a merit and a disadvantage; I believe it's because of original art's "unfamiliarity", lack of context, that some people may feel them to be uncomfortable or less interesting to explore. In the other hand, that's exactly the same reason why I also find some originals so amazing. The fact that they don't have a strict background story does not mean those pictures wouldn't be able to present an emotional scene or tell a great story all by itself!

I never feel guilty for posting original pieces (HAH, you just gotta get over 'em b*tches ♥) except at the point when they begin to look old and ungly to my eye... Anyway, that's why I didn't take that issue up in the journal in the first place.
Also, of course the part of my watchers who aren't familiar with, say, FMA, I'm not expecting them to fave my FMA stuff. I as well ignore fan art about series I don't know, except some very rare pieces that have been just waaaay too impressive.

BTW, that's true what you said about KH. I'm not scared to admit that I don't have a clue about what's going on with its plot these days, but considering the things I've read... I just have a feeling it has gone a bit too far maybe. :shrug:



Hehe, well just now as I'm writing this reply, the frickin' thunderstorm outside keeps cutting off electricity... I can't see which key I'm pressing, aaaahh...! >__< Usually I do like the summer here, being warm and sunny and full of light it feels like paradise after the dark, exhausting winter ♥ But this summer's been just so cold and rainy and I'm completely fed up with it since I know I'm gonna freeze to death next winter anyways :iconffplz:



P.S. OMG I couldn't... I just... I... GAH! I DIDS WHALEY FAN ARTZ AND LOOK I HAZ MY OWN WHALEY OC NAO HIS NAME IS VON WHALEINGTON AMG I HOPE U LIEKS 'COS I KNOW I DO AND I SHIP THEM SO HAAAARD <3<3<33333<3

So in the midst of this angsting

1. We created an "original" pairing (WHALES!!!)

and

2. You were insane enough to reply... in the middle of a storm.


I just experienced one of those, "Who IS this person?!" I love you now marry me! Heh heh, what was that?! No no, I never jump the gun! I'm -- I'm a normal, sane human being!

Really, I have no clue what just happened either.

Ahem. So.

I like your whale better just so you know *shot* OWIEEEE!

My feelings for KH are strained but respected, since it was practically the first thing I ever became truly obsessed with, enough so that people who don't identify with the game just automatically think of me. And recently I've moved away from it, because it didn't go in the direction I'd hoped it would and I really did love Sora but they've complicated everything... in a really bad way. It's truly sad since KH meant a lot to me, but something that felt so familiar doesn't make sense. And that's just unfair, but business is business. They needed to find a way to keep it going. I really wish they hadn't, though.

I am a classic cartoon fan, so I really enjoy reading Western style comics, but I've been immersing myself in FMA; my boyfriend picks up the mangas from the library and we try to watch a few episodes together. So far I tend to prefer the manga since it's slightly more serious but I really just love the story and character. And goodness gracious does Ed love his brother. It blows my mind o.O

I'll admit. Not many of my friends really use DA as much and it disappoints me to a certain degree. I like to see what my friends create. So I'm almost desperate enough to see anything. Your art style is one of my favorites! It's so organic, and stylish, and COOL... I am a big fan of stuff I find "cool".

Like -- KERMIT THE FROG! He's a boss!

The moral: DRAW MOREEEEE :iconbatmanohnoesplz:

I'M SO SORRY ABOUT THE DELAY BUT THAT REPLY WAS JUST SO LONG AND BEAUTIFUL I COULDN'T

Okay let's
I - i - you
we
us
I mean
wouldn't your boyfriend mind? *A*

...my whale likes your whale the best btw


True words about KH there. Though what it comes to me I doubt anyone irl ever really found out how much I love(d) that series, since I knew that none of my friends knew those games. Plus I was a little confused even myself that I had suddenly begun such a big fan of something and thought everyone would think I'm a freak if I would've let them know... :XD: I still don't feel like I should waffle on about fandoms etc. to people, especially if they aren't even familiar with them.

If I think about the "stereotypical" western & eastern style comics, they both do of course have their pros and cons. Quite often I find myself liking the "western" features what it comes to drawing characters for instance, but prefering the "eastern" ways of layout and storytelling.
Oh yes, FMA (manga)~ That series is overall very captivating! Maybe it's just me, but it's almost like it would differ somehow from all the other mangas I've read... Or... idk ^^; Are you watching the 1st anime or FMA Brotherhood? Just asking, since those two are actually quite different...

Some of my friends have recently become more interested in dA, and I kinda hope they'll start to post stuff here and everything... Though on the other hand I'm afraid that they'll start to visit here often like me, because they're all starting to +watch me one after another which makes me even more scared to submit weird pics in my gallery. :noes:

Sooo............ Oh gosh I'm flattered! :XD: That's so amazing to hear.....! :blush: I SHALL DRAW LOTSSSS when I get over my artblock once again... >__<


Urrgh, I'm sorry, it's getting late and I'm tired and I dunno how to write anymore *derp*



so there

...my whale likes your whale the best btw 

noooo my whale has definitely got a thing for you whale
wait
that didn't come out quite the way I wanted it to
#$@%
So
You are in Rome right now....


Hm. Except that I must admit that my crew and I WERE those annoying kids who fandomed over stupid stuff and talked about video games all day... and I'm okay with doing that every once in a while with people but I often make an effort to try to introduce peole to something about video games that they might appreciate, example: THEY LOOK SO REAL NAO OMGG. And I was just so obsessed with KH that many people were nice enough just to humor me ^^; But I have to admit that I associate “fandom” with the idea that people beat others around with it and say “THIS IS THE BEST EVER, IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT YOU DON'T DESERVE TO LIVE IN THIS WORLD” and I know that's just not true. But I still refuse to use the phrase “fandom”. I dunno. Large groups make me uncomfortable?

I often feel like I'm the only one with this problem AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS?

Huh??? Oh. Wait. I guess everyone does feel that way at some point or another. Damn!

“Quite often I find myself liking the "western" features what it comes to drawing characters for instance, but prefering the "eastern" ways of layout and storytelling.” Well, that was summed up nicely... hmmmmm. And I found myself fading from my kick on Batman. I plan to pick up some comics to read. But comics are expennnnnnnse! D': Everything is so much money these days! So I'm good for anything that has a compelling story, really. I love manga but I have to admit that it annoys me too, and for Western, you can only read so many DARKER THAN DARKNESS stuff before you're like, “ugh, I'm drowning in humanity. I want to go OD on saturday morning cartoons to feel better.”

I'm watching the first one because my boyfriend liked it. Neither of us has seen brotherhood at all. I refuse to ever watch it in English because of that damned Vic McHugasmugaasdasd. I don't care what his name his! He STINKS! (If you like Vic I apologize XD)

DRAW ALL THE THINGSSSSSSS!! Just stay away from smut in case someone is watching? AHHHHHHHH WHY WOULD I EVEN THINK THAT?! Oh right. This is the INTERNET. Things like that. Happen.

Draw me some beautiful pictures of Kingdom Hearts! There's such a lack of good pictures of Sora, Donald, and Goofy. No! I mean! Donald, Goofy and Sora!

…. if only I could draw! **weeps**

GET BACK FROM ROME SAFELYYYYYY!!
