Glad many are still around. it's nice to see how many have kept evolving as they create, while many either quit creating or left the site all together.

If they come, they come.
If not, it's okay.

I've been trying to send you a note about your Transformers logos, but DA keeps flagging me as a spammer. Β At any rate, I made a project on Codepen you may want to look at.

Hello, my friend. Do you know about the new "Transformers: Devastation" video game?

Skills, bro'! Some very clean lines and colours going on in your gallery; you certainly deserve your Professional status.

Thanks so much for the postive words and compliment.
Mind if I ask what pieces in particular you are referring to?

No problem! I particularly noticed some of the AdventureQuest work, but after looking through your portfolio, it's clear that your talents aren't limited to animΓ©-style pieces.

I hardly and rarely ever draw any sort of anime-esc art.

Well, perhaps it's an avenue to pursue; you've definitely got a talent for it! People are too quick to disregard the animΓ© style as being of a lesser quality than traditional art, but that's not the case - there are some truly legendary manga artists out there, turning out some gorgeous artwork.

I just don't want to do it because all the other hip people are doing it.
I don't hate anime or manga but what i do hate is how kids consider it the end all be all in thing to do.
I'm not some scene junkie. I just do whatever and not care too much if it's the inthing or not.

Whether it's hip or not is immaterial; if you like it, then it's safe to disregard what everybody else is doing. I used to be part of the crowd of kids you mention, but now I'm an adult, I find that there's a backlash against the manga style with a lot of people who consider themselves to be 'serious artists'; I want to be considered a serious artist myself, but I'm not going to suddenly abandon my pop culture roots and start drawing high-brow art to be so. I like what the style I work with has come to be, and I'm not going to be swayed by the opinions of people I've never met because the world thinks they're worth listening to.
In short, I like manga and video games, and that's where I draw inspiration from. When the world moves on to a more 'serious' art form, I'll still be drawing big eyes and unfeasible hair.
