Hi, this is probably good-bye, too. I've decided to stop posting my drawings at Deviant art. It's not that I've stopped drawing, far from it - in fact I think I've done more drawing this spring than I've done in a very long time. But I just don't have the desire to put my art on display, especially as I feel that my art is now mostly a personal matter right now. I draw just for myself and friends these days. Most of my art from the last decade on my DA reflects that, as well.
Honestly, I've recently come to realize that I'm probably not cut out to be a professional artist. I don't have nearly half the dedication or stamina that some gu

No Art Lately
0 min read
I know I'm a very disappointing Deviant artist of late but I got sucked into some little game called WoW (World of Warcraft for these people not in the know) and I have barely drawn anything else since the summer >.>;
I've also just finished some applications hoping to get a masters in education - so I probably will be even busier in the months to come...
I will keep adding any art that I do as I do them but there simply haven't been any new pieces lately. I have also rapidly lost interest in manga and anime and just haven't felt like drawing anything.
So, oh well... hopefully it's temporary, though. :)

Contrary to what I said yesterday, I decided to take ONE last crack at Matsumoto. The reasons are many:
1) I noticed in some pictures of Matsumoto I saw later that her hair was a bit more fluffy than I thought.
2) I decided my last attempt was far too much of a realistic take. I wanted to try to simplify the face.
3) A friend commented that her forehead was too big, and I wanted to see how she would look with a smaller forehead.
4) I wanted to work on her eyes more and find a style I liked in that area.
5) Another friend said I should have her grinning.
So yeah, there you have it. The reason I decided to go back to Matsumoto one last

Sometimes, I wonder if you still draw and how your drawings are now. ^^
But maybe you don't visit DA at all anymore...

Hi there old friend! After reading the final chapter of Naruto on Wednesday, I was reminded of the Naruto-as-Hokage head on the mountain you once drew for me. So I wondered how you were doing!
I don't really visit DA anymore, no. I haven't drawn seriously in years. I doodle here and there, mostly for the entertainment of friends and their kids, but I write about art more than I draw now. I'm attending graduate school (finally) for a masters in art history and I'm getting experience working for museums, which I love doing. That's probably going to be my career now, but I definitely have all the admiration in the world for artists who remain passionate in creating gorgeous and original artwork. I wish all the time that I had been that eager, but I just could never keep it up. As Chuck Close said, you can't wait for inspiration to strike. You have to draw every day, bad or good. And to do that I think you really have to love doing what you do.

I'm so happy to hear you again, and that you still remember that visual poetry I dedicated to you years ago! 
I read Naruto final chapter, too, but I don't really like how the series was handled in the last few years, to be honest. I'm still into the fandom, though. ^^
Working for museums is really cool, too--congratulation! Not all art careers must be about creating, after all.
I still draw and especially make crafts on commission, and also write (not original stuff, though, for now at least) these days; sometimes I also do extra jobs related to videogames as translations and stuff, but they hard to get.
Are you reading new/other manga, now that Naruto has ended?

I still occasionally keep up with historical fiction manga now such as Cesare, Historie and Vinland Saga. I still read Berserk and Bleach. I'm not sure that I will ever love manga and anime again the way I did in the 2000s, though... I think that was a very special time for the medium.
I do agree that the last two years of Naruto weren't written very well, so I'm glad it ended (and I did like the ending). I still enjoyed the ride a lot, though. I never expected, for instance, to "get to know" Hashirama and Toshirama and Minato so well. Each Hokage had such fun personality traits that it really made them all even more memorable to me. And I can certainly understand why Madara was so feared.
I still like to dabble in drawing, but I definitely like to "analyze" art. Reviewing so many chapters of Naruto helped me realize this, actually. So one day I realized museums were probably what I wanted to do, and once I understood that, I was able to apply to graduate school with renewed confidence. My second semester, I was recommended to my university museum as a graduate assistant. I enjoyed doing it so much that there was no longer any more doubt in my mind: it was what I was meant to do. I just wish it had not taken me thirty years to finally realize it, but better late than never!
Maybe I will do a show of your art one day!
Also, are you excited about the new Zelda game? I am probably going to finally buy a Nintendo console again because of that game, it looks amazing.
