Before, when the word "art" came to my mind, I instantly thought about anime, manga, chibi's, etc...
But I realise there is so much more than that.

Perhaps you noticed, my artstyle changed a lot.
I do not vector anymore, well I do not vector anymore screenshots.
Why you think... I started vectoring just for exploring my options, when I uploaded one of my vectors it was so succesful here on dA.
But I do not take credit in making the drawing, only for the vector of course.
So comments like, you draw sooooo awesooome!!!, felt wrong and somewhat unneccesary.
But I liked the sudden attention I received, so I vectored furter on.
Now I know, I vectored for the wrong reasons...

Also the subject Anime, Manga is very popular here on dA, but try to go into the real world of artcrafts, people do not appreciate Anime, Manga artists. They want someone with an own style and own imagination, not someone who is obsessed with japanese manga's and anime.
I grew out of this stage, anime and manga do not intrest me anymore like it did in 2005.

I stopped drawing for a long time, because I really did not have inspiration to draw something beautiful and awesome. I realized that "screenshot-vector-artists" like me were kinda frauds.
So I explored my options once again, just watching art from other amaaazing artists unlike me.

Few months ago, my life changed, I started thinking different, dress different, do different things in general. Not because I was influenced by my surroundings, but because I realised that I do not need to be afraid of the world, I just needed to express myself in a way I'm comfortabel and self-assured. With this kinda transformation I felt inspired, even more, I felt artistic in an unexplainable way.

Now I have inspiration, motivation and self-assurance to draw better than I ever did before.

People who watch me for my Manga/Anime drawing/vector, please unwatch me... Do not expect more of this in the near future.

For the people who read everything, thank you.

Peace and Love, Dirly
