Hey everyone! I am back from Katsucon and up to drawing again! I got sick at the con, so I was out of commission for the last two weeks. i am doing much better now. Being at Katsucon changed my outlook on drawing and talking to a friend helped me see things more clearly. I feel freer to draw and I chalk that up to not giving too much of a shit. Instead of worrying if I'm getting better or not, I am just drawing, learning and enjoying the process. I completely forgot how to do that!
 I am currently focusing on drawing my main, non-fictional obsession: fish. I love drawing them so much! Fish give me so much joy and I haven't been portraying that as I really want to. As for fiction, I am drawing more of my OCs and taking time to draw the silly little fanart ideas that pop into my head. Fanart is fun and I've made it more of a chore than anything. No more of that. 
I have been posting these arts on Tumblr because it feels like a sketchbook. DA's cool, but when I post here, I feel like I am posting in an art gallery. Drawing for an art gallery just makes me want to give up and go take a nap. Right now, I just want to toss up even my silly drawings and ideas and develop my style from there. My art is cross-posted at Twitter so if you watch me there, you won't miss my drawings. I'm not leaving here or anything like that. I will reserve posting only really neato pics here. 

Thanks to all who stopped at our table at Katsucon and for the commissions! I will be at CHS Otakufest, a small convention in Ellicott City, MD in April.  I'll post my table's location as soon as it's made available.

Hahahaha, deviantart lately is a bit out of order. With the rise of other, more simplistic webs, and the fact that deviantart have an slow evolution speed, lately lots of people have flewn from it. And it doesnt help that, in the last years, their advertisement providers have been using some intrusive- ads - sounds, redirects... - and even malware dowloading redirect websites.

If they dont do a full fix of Deviantart I think it will grow less popular year by year xP. I still enter but just to check what other people say xP.
