   Rambling and Ranting
Well I posted a picture finally. ^^ We'll see how it does. ^^ I guess now would be an appropriate time to ramble on about nothing. ^^ So be afraid. *thinks* Actually... when I rant about stuff like this it usually isn't directed towards you Otaku poeople. ^^ But anyway...

It has come to my attention that people give harsher comments to art than to fanfiction. I have had my fair share of rude comments to my story, but none have compared to some of the things that people say to art. It seems that many people don't like originality in art. I cannot tell you how many times I have heard someone say "That doesn't look like Kikyou" or "Hiei doesn't look like that". I must say I am rather sick of it. Perhaps what you commenters don't understand is that I draw these characters as I see them. When I draw Sanosuke or Legato I am not trying to copy them, I'm trying to draw an original picture of some one else's character. Is that such a crime? Or do they wish for me to just copy an original picture. I'm sorry people, but I never liked copying so you will never see any of it from me. And if that disapoints you then too bad. I don't aim to please you anyway. I draw for myself and no other and if you cannot appreciate an artist's style and imagination, then you are completely missing the point of artistic talent. All artists should be allowed to draw in their own style with their imaginations and should not have to copy someone else's picture just to impress the harsh critics of today. To me, a picture that has imagination and style (regardless of whether they look like the original characters or not) is a much better picture than any copied one. And for those of you who disagree... well all I can say is that I pity you... for you will overlook some of the best art out their because of your closed mind.
