Rant Rant Rant ...

Hey yall . Just want to get something out of my system, so i'll rant about it here. The first thing that's been bothering me is that i feel like such a second rate artist sometimes ( alot ! ) which is why i feel like such an amateur most of the time, even thow i'm been improving.
I love critique, because i want to improve, however, the good kind of critique, notebly from other artist, is hard to get. Some artist are nice enough to answer me when i comment them and my questions when i ask them, but i can't help the feeling that some artist out there just flat out ignore you.
To me, being treated like a second rate artist is even worse of an insult. If i'm an artist, just like you, don't treat me differently because i'm not as good as you, that's just cruel and pointless.
I'm 18, unexperienced, share a scanner with my family who aren't aware of what i draw most of the time, i only have a laptop, no tablet, no mouse, the oldest version of open canvas, a critirium ( pencil ), and two markers ( one 0.4 and one 0.8 ) and i'm short on cash most of the time, and i still try my best to provide some decent looking stuff, so a little respect and equal treatment would be appreciated ( yes, i said i have NO tablet, so my digital works have been done with nothing but my fingers ).
I'm not attacking or pointing fingers towards anybody, i'm just saying i'm nice, not blind and i DON'T FORGET, so if you want treat me like i'm inferior, don't treat me at all !

The other thing i guess that's bothering me is this.
Art doesn't just happen, there's a lot of time and effort that goes into it, and i don't think that some people really seem to understand that. Sure some people take more or less time to do things, but nevertheless time, energy, effort and imagination is necessary, not to mention the distractions, burdens, activities, etc of every day life that bother you most of the time. I can't seem to make people take that seriously, therefore, i feel like i " fail " as an artist.

Lastly, and this might offend some people, i think that some slash is way overdone ! There's way too much DBZ , Naruto, and even X-men slash out there (just to name a few ). I'm not a hypocrite, i admit that it's erotic, it's hot, it's cool, and that i myself will draw some when i'm asked to, but there's a lot of it already, it's kinda getting old.
Some might of noticed, but that's why i slash things that aren't or barely slashed, like F-zero characters, Mortal Kombat characters, yu-gi-oh! "Monsters" and NOT characters, etc.
That also explains my obssession with Original Characters .
They're fresh new characters that bring some welcome distractions from the overabondance of mainstream slash. Daemon, Max Darc, Tai, Drake, Skyboy, Keric, Darek, etc to name of few, i've grown to love. I even have more O.Cs then i can count but i put my Three favourite characters, Justin, Arden and Xy ahead of the pack, but a lot of times i feel like removing all of them from the face of the net because they get NO LOVE !

All of that feels like a vicious cycle that keeps repeating it self to me.
Just posting my thoughts somewhere, hope i get a response or comments from SOMEONE, otherwise what i think will be proved to be true, and that's going to be ugly ...

Anyway, if you were at least considerate enough to read my rant, thanks.

Character Sketch : Frank Underburger

Hey there everyone ! A couple of days ago, i took interest in a comic idea from one of my friends from the y!gallery known as Costa69, and as Franky KC on DA. His comic's idea is fantastic ! so i told him that even thow i'm busy most of the time, i'll try to help him in anyway i can.


I asked him what would his character look like so i could try to make a sketch of him , and that's how it turned out. This is just a sketch, but i think i got his character right. Check out his great idea on the DA page he made for it : http://toy-robot-comic.deviantart.com/ . The name is Toy Robot, and the main character is young Frank Underburger. Hope you like it as much as i do.

Also, don't be afraid to leave comments about what you think of the skecth after you've read the idea, because that would help.

Thanks !!

Marvel Warrior Boys Request.


Hey ya ! Just posting it here because E307 said it was ok. He only asked for line art, but i might color this one later because i like it XD .
Enjoy !

Happy Valentines Day !

I drew a super powered Justin for you all to enjoy ! Happy Valentines' Day !!

Request Consideration !!

Hi everyone ! so this what i've decided to do when i have a request. When i'm done with the lineart i'll post it here ! and if the requester ( if that a word ) likes how it looks, i'll proceed to either clean it up if he / she wanted line art or color it if he/she wanted it in color.

So without further ado, here's one of the Request ! :

This is E307's Request from the y!gallery, who wanted some slash of the Marvel Warrior Boys, Marvel Boy, Nova and Speedball . I'll explain the idea later if you guys and E307 of course decide that it's good enough when i post it .

For what it's worth, i DO like how this one looks, so much so that i might even color it eventually ( i was supposed to just do line art ).

alright everyone ! Comment away !

Taking Request ! and posting an old one !


Hello Everyone !! Just doing a quick post to inform you all that i'm taking 3 request as of today, and you can see their status here in a new feature i've added.

Max Darc for Kazekanzaki (Y!Gallery)

Of course, they're free ! i still think i need to improve a bit before i decide to go a step further and take commission . If you want, you drop a request here by just leaving a comment.

You can request either :

- Lineart ( which will take the less time to complete )

- Simple color job ( see my Absol pic from the previous post )

-Heavy Layer color Job ( see my Too Powerful pic from the previous post, will take the most time to finish )

I ask that you try to be precise about what you want, and yes there aren't that many spots so far, because i still have a few things i have to finish.

I will also most probably post the sketches here so that the requesters and others can decide if they like it or not. :), should be fun .

See yall !!
