*Honestly this is more of a self-talk, but read on if you like.š* 4/15/22 (11:11 AM) If it aināt obvious, this clearly isnāt a post to add to my portfolio. Rather, itās a post to ASSESS my portfolio. A post to assess and record my journey. I feel Iām reaching a point where Iām ready to start taking my studies much more seriously. Iām tired of only being able to draw one-dimensional portraits and characters floating in a void. I greatly appreciate the encouragement and support I get from those things, but itās just not where I wanna stay. Donāt get me wrong, I love my portraits and floating characters, but Iāve got much grander visions. I wanna create this comic series, yāsee, and I wanna turn said comic into an animated franchise, possibly with movie installments, who knows?! I wonāt go into details, but itās something that Iām claiming. This endeavor will be my āmarkā, itās my dream. But to attain that dream, Iām gonna have to commit and shake things up. I need to actually learn to animate, broaden my ācharacter designā horizons, study composition and storytelling in-depthā¦Iāve enjoyed all the art Iāve made up until this point in one way or another, but more so itās the stuff that I donāt post, that which I hold most dearly. But for as much as I say I wanna do, I must become more conscious of what Iām putting my energy into and learning. Iām not going to art school just to be in debt and STILL not have any guarantees, so itās truly up to me to find my own way and become more disciplined. Clearly this whole spiel isnāt magically going to change anything, but Iām setting a public intention nonetheless. I want to tell stories, go to other worlds, and hold the keys of wonder and awe with a mere pencil. I wanna draw bara and DILFs for crying out loudš¤£! Storyboarding, concept art, character design, raw emotion...I donāt mean to sound too grandiose, but I am as I am, and I just know what I want to do. Hereās to actually following through on that. Good luck, future me!š« #ifyoucandreamityoucandoit https://www.instagram.com/p/CcYS3pcOWba/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
