hey im replying because of one of your comments on an anime pic (much like some other people here) just to say that i completely disagree with you, your art is quite good, but just because you think anime art is inferior doesnt mean you should leave comments saying it sucks.
you can critisize anime all you want when you learn how to create it. (which is why i am not critisizing your style of art)

XD I hate to say it, but I found your site through the anime comment, as well. But I didn't think lots of people would be getting up in your face about it - especially after the huge time gap.
I came just out of curiosity, and I browsed through your gallery, and you have a whole load of talent. Personally, I love the colors you choose and just the composition of every piece is stunning. It's a shame you don't appreciate the full extent of anime art, and I'm sorry you had to experience the nasty, over-protective people of that art genre. But everyone has their own preferences, and you're amazing at what you do.
You should check out some anime artists of different styles - if you're even interested in learning. Here's some links that may help you out.

Otherwise, just keep up the good work - you're an amazing artist, and you should feel free to voice your opinion; just make sure you're properly educated on the topic, first.

Lol, I really like your art, it's very nice. ^^
Just a quick question, i'm not gonna bash you or anything for saying it, but, do you still dislike anime, because you think that the styles, or all the different series are the same?
Juuustttt wondering. Lovely gallery!

I don't really like how you comment on anime deviations. Anime isn't all about big eyes you know. And besides, how would you feel if people said that your style of art is the lowest?

nefariousidiot [2006-07-08 03:35:48 +0000 UTC]
I did actually find your gallery due to the whole anime thing...
I really do love your paintings. I rarely see any actual painters on here, and it's a refreshing change. In disagreement with the person below me, I find your color choices very original and a real nice change, again, from the rest of DA.
Keep up the amazing style.

ElevendyBlue [2006-07-06 21:34:51 +0000 UTC]
Your coloring choices disgust me.
But then again, not everyone can have bright colors.
But the main general realistic side of your art, is very good.

ColourlessDream [2006-06-15 00:42:32 +0000 UTC]
I like your style. And, haha, to tell the truth, the only reason I found your corner on DA, was because of the anime comment, which I agree with it, for the main portion. :]
Though, it's sad you were still getting flames months after and probably will continue to do so. Themz anime fans take things to heart. xD
:] But, yes. Love your paintings. And, may your soul be saved from the anime-freaks whom call themselves Otaku; the lowest form of person in Japan.

Fine fine, I'm sorry for taking it too far and acting 'aristocratic' about it, assuming that referred to me.
I'm watch you as an apology, and because though your art form isn't my personal favorite, it is inspirational and admittedly, unique.

ladylianna [2006-02-23 19:04:40 +0000 UTC]
Oh for God's sakes will people get over the bloody comment. I know I replied to it but there is no point flaming an artist for saying what she thinks we are all entitled to our own opinions.
What I came here to say is you are a wonderful artist and have a great sense of individuality, I really feel like I am looking into your soul when I look at your art. You are really experimenting into how to put the medium on the paper and to great effect. Your work truly is beautiful. B xxx

It's amazing how many pv's you got from your flame on anime and manga style art.
You are obviously very talented, but comments like the one you made reveal a rather off-putting perspective on art: That art should be valued simply by how non-accessible it is. This perspective really bothers me, If someone puts a lot of effort into cartooning in an original style, for example, Frank Miller's Sin City or the style of Ghost World, that piece of art can have as much value as a work in a supposedly 'higher' style. Fine art is the poor man's version af fine art. Acting all aristocratic and pretentious about social levels in art is fucking ridiculous and the sort of thing that should have been put behind you in high school.
On the other hand, there is far too much anime on DeviantArt. There's far too much Anthro on DeviantArt. There's far too much photography of black and white naked women on DeviantArt. DeviantArt is a website to which anyone can contribute, and while the lack of creativity disturbs me as well (to which I willfully admit I have fallen victim many times) I think that these artists will either eventually refine their style to something unique or drop off the earth as nameless automatons.
To anyone who comes here posting more comments:
She said that anime artists on dA were unoriginal, k?
Nobody cares that you know the millions of genres of anime, or the many different plots of shows. That was not the point. Maybe you should read something for two seconds before your kneejerk reaction ends up dislocating something. It's entirely true, most anime-style artists here aren't terribly original in their style. But there are those few gems of the style, and there are people who can work their way up to that level. The problem is people are drawing anime without understanding realistic art first, and there's definitely a flaw there. Learn to draw people before you draw anime people and maybe you won't look like you are tracing from every other anime picture on the entire internet.

I am personally a fan of anime art, but I feel its ridiculous for people to constantly flame you for ONE comment you made months ago. It WAS rude, but still nontheless, its rude for people to negatively critisize people for any reason. Deviantart should be an open minded community. Most people at deviantart are nicer here than they are in real life (I'm one of them). Basically what I wanted to say is that everyone should back off eachother. There's no reasons to start arguments over the net with people you'd never meet anyway. All flamers should just lighten up.

People are most likely still posting comments on this page, in reply to his pathetic flame, for they are just now reading it, and aren't checkng the date. People defend what they like, it's normal, and I support them.
Anime is not the only type of art that often looks similar, and it also is not completely the same. Some anime has small eyes, some have large. Some animes have noticable noses, and some have none at all. Some draw lips, some don't.
Look at the different between these anime images:

man.. I guess you just don't much know about oriental art.
You know, eyes is the most important mirror of humans soul.. and that lets to express the feelings..
Anime has it's own philosophy too.. you just need to widen your viewpoint, only then you'll find things, why it's so institutionalized

You consider yourself a Deviant Of Many Talents; it sure would be amazing if one of them was kindness! So what if DA has loads of Anime? In some people's opinons anime is intresting and fun to draw! and other Anime artists don't need you telling them how "low" their drawing style is!

i am most definatley NOT trying to be a bitch here, your style is very creative, but others can draw anime as they lease. is a very talanted person, and he is drawing anime, because he loves it. we all have things we love, and we would do anything to express it. for all us anime lovers, our way, is drawing anime, no matter how crappy of an anime artist we may be.

You have an amazing gallery. It's nice to see meet people with many talents, and those who try different things. I have also made jewelry, printing, painting, drawing and sculpting. And yet there is always more new things to learn and try...
Anyway, that was a bit of a rant. I like your work, so I decided to devWatch you...

hi there people. basically i started this account to get my work out there. eventually we will be moving to seattle, and we are in the midwest, so i don't want to lug all of these paintings and drawings with us. i won't charge horrendous prices or anything, i mostly want them gone.
i do apologize for the quality of some pictures, as i would prefer a slightly blurred picture over one washed out by flash.
and! i went back to all of my entries and added larger photos so you can see closeups. also i tried to include the dimensions.
if you are interested in buying, send me an email. or if you are interested but want a better picture send me an email.
