Description     Alright, so I'm putting this out there to explain myself and to maybe expunge a few demons. I joined DA just a few months ago to simply post my first comic "A Man Named Vengeance" to publishers. Then I started rooting around a bit and found so many great artists and writers who have inspired me, and spurred me on to keep getting better at both crafts.

    See, I spent fifteen years chasing after my musical dream only to see it (and two years worth of recordings and thousands of dollars of gear) destroyed. Now I've always had problems with depression, but this sent me off the deep end. I went through four years of soul crushing depression that further alienated me from the world around me and destroyed a lot of friendships. It damn near ended me, but then I somehow rekindled my first passion, comics. In the past year and a half since I've thrown myself into my work and things have turned around for me.

    Though I'm still not where I want to be, I'm drawing closer every day, and part of that is thanks to DA. I live in a small city in Indiana where there's no real artistic community, so DA has helped me feel a little less alone in this world. So, to all you amazing people out there on DA who have inspired me to improve myself as an artist, and/or have given me feedback and support, thank you, it is beyond appreciated. Art is a powerful and beautiful thing that can save a soul, and I'm living proof. Well, back to work!

We all have our struggles in life, and its the bonding between people in finding stuff to relate to on our experiences that makes us stronger. Sharing our experiences and standing together is what not only makes a community strong, its integral to our species.

I'm happy that I had the chance to meet you, and im happy that we spoke and got some things panned out for the future. If you remember what we spoke about you full well know my intentions and I want to wish you the best- and I have great plans myself in regards for your comics that you well know of.

I might email you some stuff tomorrow actually, sample wise... but we'll reserve that for email chatter and notes.
-Regards, ComradeCrimson.

Email was sent of the Moses samples, by the way. I got things in mind for the soundtrack and other stuff too- but I think we should cover that in a planned chat sometime if possible.

You can do it! If you want it its your for the taking. Youve got the skill and seems like the passion. Dont give up. The harder it gets the sweeter it will be when you finally achieve your goals. 

If you are ever looking to collab with any writers I am available. 

If youre not looking it doesnt matter we are all in this together and If feel like when one of us succeeds we all succeed.

Dont get down on yourself. Remeber your not the only one. The community here on deviant are behind you in this crazy world of pictures and word bubbles!

Thanks! And no worries, I'm good these days! So long as I've got something to immerse myself in creatively. As weird as it is to say all those dark years have only made me stronger. Kind of like I've been guilded by fire, there's nothing to fear now! If you ever need some pin up or cover work hit me up, I've got enough stories of my own to last me about a decade as it is, but I'm always willing to help out where I can!
