dA dude (c) dAStamp by *ChikitaWolf
EDIT: Wow, I'm gettin' llamas already, lol
EDIT2: Oh, cool-- got front page for 8 hours again xD Thanks everyone!
EDIT3: Um, I apologize if I don't reply to your comment ^^" I'm kinda swamped-- but really, I'm reading them all! Promise
EDIT4: Thank you for all the llamas, points, watches, and favs~!
Will it? Will it stop you?
There are going to be more talented artists out there. That's life. But is that going to stop you?
There are many incredible artists here on dA. Does that mean you can't become one yourself?
Some of us come by talent easily. Some of us have to work a little harder to get it than others.
So?
One thing I've learned while being here on dA is that just because an artist is better than me doesn't mean I suck at what I do. It really doesn't. It just means they're more talented in that area.
Is that going to stop me from doing what I LOVE to do?
I love love love to draw.
I don't do it for the views. I don't do it for the favs. I don't do it to keep watchers.
I do it because I LOVE to do it.
Does that mean I should stop just because there a ton more artists that are better than me at drawing?
Heck, no!
Why should that stop me? That should ENCOURAGE me to get better! It seems as if the term "role models" hasn't been used all that recently these days.
So, yeah. Same with all of you out there that write, draw, edit, etc-- are you going to stop doing what you LOVE to do just because someone happens to be better at it?
I hope not!
As one of my favorite characters in the D.Gray-Man manga lives by: "Keep walking. Never stop."
So don't give up, yeah?

Thanks for showing me this ~ladameblanche !

So true! I'm always improving just because of this one statement, "there are better people on DA than you"!

Excuse me for a sec:
"Because I'm on the the right track baby, I was born this way!"
Because we were born to draw, no matter how we get our talents.

You're welcome, your work is really quite nice, plus it's refreshing to see someone into anime yet retaining their sanity.

XD ... I just had the worst mental image of someone looking in my window like 'Are you drawing?!' with bugged out eyes and everything.
Cool, I really hope you stay that way. I can't wait to see your next works

I remember the first time i came here on Da.
Kick in the nuts.
Wanted to become these Titty masters that populate the site (due them drawing girls better then me back then).
After a while i saw how one tricked they were, how overated their work was, and how brain dull their fans were (aka: post anatomyless tittiesraise-whatever it was...every time it was praise) and actually began taking pride in my work.
Sure i aint the popular Japanophile Tittymungus, but damn i am happy i dont have dicks as fans.

I'll stay away from the porn subject
First of all: It's dully made with no style whatsoever and only meant to pleasegasm people. It disgusts me.
Second of all: It's practically offending girls that happen to be a bit big busted-- drawing all these super skinny girls with big busts and butts to make 'em all look like whores? It's ridiculous, and though I'm not exactly gifted in that area of looks, it still urks me 'cuz it offends my friends.
Third of all: NOT ALL GIRLS HAVE BIG BUSTS
Why can't we draw a girl with a normal figure for a change? TwT"

At a point in time I had a huge depression about people being better than me at drawing and I couldn't Draw anything at all. My Mom told me to give up that I sucked. But I decided I shouldn't I love to draw and just cause someone is better than me shouldn't make me sad. We should all do what we love no matter what. ♥

This is so true! I personally can name...over 20 people off the top of my head (and I'm not even good at names!) that are way better than me and are my role models. But just because they are good won't make me stop, it'll help me to keep going so I may become as good as them one day.
I love this stamp.

That's an accomplishment, though ^ ^
And they do? : / Well, you're still the same person whether you make a good point or not. I don't see how people can treat you differently. Do you mean, like...they read that and were offended because they didn't know you were against rape, fictional or not? Or...just that you were more famous, and they treated you that way? o-o

ChikitaWolf In reply to iLiet [2011-07-14 23:27:02 +0000 UTC]
Nah... it's cuz I get so many views, so people start treating me a bit more distantly, ya know? Like... someone added the honorific "-san" to my nickname "Wolfy" when they'd been calling me "Wolfy" for quite a while. That made me depressed and slightly annoyed.
So, yeah, last point >3< I ended up making a journal about it asking them not to treat me any differently, lol.
