So I haven't done anything in forever, I'll admit. I still visit DA close to every day, but for the past... who knows how long... I haven't updated anything. That's because I haven't drawn anything. My art muse just up and left me, and everything I drew turned out like crap. I was frustrated and I just gave up. Well, this summer I've rediscovered an old love and a guilty pleasure tv show, Bishojo Senshi Sailor Moon. And, well, push came to shove, and I managed to get my hands on the entire manga series. Omgosh, it's so fantastic, and the drawings are ridiculously amazing. I like the manga so much more than the anime (although that doesn't stop me from watching every episode, does it?) and I started drawing again thanks to it! I love the manga style - anime-like characters have always been one of my passions, and I always wanted to draw like that, but my drawings always turned out looking more like manga. I'd never seen the manga, so I didn't know that these drawings were actually acceptable! I was so excited when I was reading the Bishojo Senshi Sailor Moon mangas because they reminded me of my old art, and of why I loved to draw! So I drew some new pictures, and I'm currently brainstorming a manga of my own. I know, it'll probably never get done. But late at night, I find myself thinking up plotlines, hairstyles, and outfits for my characters. I think I have a pretty good one in my mind right now! I have a deep love and respect for Bishojo Senshi Sailor Moon and the world that Naoka Takeuchi created - it inspires me to draw whenever I get down, and it's such a beautiful story about the true powers of love. Anyway, to make a long story short (too late), I have some new art, and I hope to updating a lot more regularly in the future, now that I know where to find my muse. It's been there all along, in one of my favorite childhood shows. I'm so glad. <333
