Yes the canvas is a lot bigger.

Here's my proof.

First, thank you all for the support you've given my friends. I've sent each post to each artist to let them read my little messages, but your own love and appreciation shown through likes, reblogs, and comments were all greatly valued! Even though it wasn't me at the helms of the ship, the new captains helped continue to keep it running, and I cannot thank them all enough for that. Many of these artists, like myself, are looking to work as full time artists, so any and all support and encouragement definitely helps!

Now that I'm back, I do have a few personal words of my own. Having a little break from my usual lifestyle, where I got to simply just got to explore the world, really led me to an important conclusion. When I started this blog, part of me was concerned about the amount of notes I recieved. I wanted to make something valued by the fans, and that mindset ended up influencing my own art. If you've ever scrolled onto my personal blog or seen it across your dash, you'll know that how I typically draw is so incredibly different than what I post most of the time here. This here is actually how I usually draw. There was a little nagging voice in the back of my mind that kept pulling me to try and do what other blogs do, but truthfully, that's not me. I take a lot of inspiration from a lot of things, fine art, haute couture, film, nature, anime, politics. I've tried to stray away from that in hopes of simply riding the wave of fan appeal. Being able to take a step back from that worry, and surrounding myself with the various things that fuel my passion and shape my perspective, made me more invigorated to draw than ever before.

Don't consider this that this blog is ending. I'm too hyperfixated for that. And that's not to say I don't love doing it. I truly appreciate what you all have given me, and I want to reflect that my bearing my own heart out to you all. So from now on, you're going to get more of what I enjoy doing most: experimentation. You'll still see some of the old flavor of my art, but it'll be more of a tasting menu with new experiences. And you'll see more of a reflection of me in my art, JJBA-inspired art style and all. It'll be a bit rocky at first, but I'm looking forward to just exploring. It's not at all what other daily blogs do, but it'll be what I do. And hey, while you're still reading this, show all of those daily blogs out there love. It's a lot harder than you may think. Show the beginner artists love and support them on their path to improvement and refinery. Go to those newly formed blogs, those that cross your dashboard with very few followers and notes, and support them. And to my fellow artists out there, you are at your best when you are truly yourself.
