...and I still don't know how to give meaningful titles to my journal entries. OTL
it's almost unbelievable how long I've been on DA (it will be 5 years in december - not counting my previous account (which should never be revealed to anyone btw). to tell the truth, ever since I've begun university, my drawing inspiration was pretty sporadical; I only felt like drawing once in a blue moon, and focused on writing instead. nowadays I seem to have gotten into art again, I wonder if it'll last only until my classes start again? ;v;
but even if with so few artworks, my skills are improving (which makes me really happy, but I still have a long way to go..) and I'm pretty sure my style is changing again. There are a number of new artistic stimulations I've faced, seen artwork of people who influenced me, and I guess these are the things from which the change stems (I should stop writing in this periodic style, it's frustrating XDD)
so, to put it in a few words, I think my art style is getting less and less anime-like with each picture, and is beginning to look more cartoonish yet realistic (does that make sense?) anyway, as it is a natural process, I'm not going to try to change it, especially because I like what it is turning into. my aim was always to create something unique, you know, something that you can't see in every other deviant's gallery. and I strive to differ probably more then ever.
I thought I'd open commissions soon to not give up and continue improving, and also because I'm trying to collect money. my dream is to take my grandmother to Okinawa. I promised her I would do that years ago, and even if she doesn't believe it, I'm sure one day I'll have enough money to fulfill my promise.
it only depends on how much free time I'll have this semester - I really hope my schedule won't suck as much as it seems now. :C
it's hard to believe it will be my last year and still, I don't think I know Japanese too well... but I won't give up now, there must be a reason why I ended up in this university, right? I believe God has some plans with Japanese and me.
