As I wake up this morning I check my email in box and low and behold.... I have an email from Yaoipress. Haha, yeh news is not good folks! This is what I get from them "You've got a nice style developing, and quirky characters. Unfortunately your art is not yet where we'd need it. I hope you'll try again in the future." Okay... I can respect I'm not good enough for... on lets say Artic Press, Tokyopop, Yen+ but for YaoiPress to turn me down? In case you aren't familar with them they have publsihed such piles of shit as below.
I guess I'm not mad at them. More at myself for thinking this time I had a chance. My ultimate problem is I don't know what I do wrong, so I can't fix it. I honestly can't see my mistakes.
I try to, I turn my art upside down, backwards to the sun, it helps a lil but not that much, hell I've tried upsidedown and backwards to the sun. Haha!
I've taken art classes.... like many have suggested... and they don't tell me my mistakes either. They just say "Thats good, I like that here" Which is why I didn't take Drawing 3! Good god people, how does "thats good" help me?! A dozen people in class for our final critic and no one, Not ONE person tells me what I can do to improve. They just nod and say they like it.
Other people say I should draw more. I honestly will rip the next persons tongue out who says this. I draw more than any one else I know. I draw in all free moments, I draw at work, I draw while watching TV, I draw while on the Computer, I have even drawn while swimming and taking a bath, and I'll tell you what... those were challanging. So I draw... more than enough I would assume. I know drawing alot helps more to get a style of your own, than getting better. Sometimes those are two in the same....... sometimes...
I know right now I'm just complaining but I don't know what to do anymore. What can I do to make my art "where they need it"? This is the second time they refused me with such a note "I'm not where they need me to be"
I know the art I post here isn't really showing off any sort of artistic ability I have, its mostly for fun....But my friends know my art, they read this... Tell me friends, what can I do to be where I need to? How can I become better... how can I aspire to become good enough to be ranked with that pile of shit I've shown in todays post?!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| On Another Note
Another thing I can't do right is cosplay but like hell I'm letting anyone stop me from that. So I hope to keep my cosplay adventure updated on this too. My main goal of cosplay this year is KusuriUri-san from Mononoke. NOT MONONOKE-HIME! So incase any of you don't know who he is, which I'm sure 50% do NOT, here is a video with the medicine seller whose image I shall butchar as a part of my cosplay love.
Yes, I don't know why but I love love love to cosplay as guys. So Sue me! I want to get Sky to be his powerful form but shes like No, not if I have to hide my babies... (meaning her chest)
Anyways, rant done.
