Okay guys here is the deal:

I've decided recently to really get serious about my artwork. I want to IMPROVE and I want to LEARN. In order to do this it is my belief that I need to start being taken seriously. So how to do this?

Who better to give advice on artwork then Trolls -ER- (I mean...) a loving Internet Community? So, I shall obviously have to actually post some of my artwork. One more thing on my To-Do list...

One more point: Well the name "Ikuyo1324" has to go. Trust me, I've thought about this A LOT. I've had this account for YEARS, so why not just use it? Well it's because I like to think that's I've grown out of my old skin and can move on to a higher step. I've felt like my account name really didn't do me any kind of justice when coming to express ME. In fact, it was actually a name an old friend of mine just RANDOMLY came up with. Kinda silly, huh?

So it's time to actually utilize my other account on here. What?? You didn't know I had ANOTHER account? Well of course! The only catch behind that is I won't know WHAT to do with THIS account. Should I leave it up or disband it? Solution: For now, I'm going to leave this one be as a "Lurker" account. That way I can still do stupid stuff when I want, and not have a . -grin- Besides, even now I catch myself looking at the stuff I've upload on this account. I like to look at it and then look at my sketchbook and see how FAR I've progressed. It really is a cool thing. Of course, I can still improve GREATLY on some things but, like I said earlier, it's gonna take some time and help.

In the meantime I shall use my other account to begin seriously posting up artwork. I'm talking the whole bit. If I draw it, I will post it up. Even if you guys have to suffer through really bad sketchs on notebook paper.

Speaking of paper, I have started to draw on almost anything and everything. I've got all the materials I could possibly want at my command, so I don't need to really worry. I can thank my determination and years of collecting art supplies for this. I've finally got a Tablet (that I do plan on upgrading), Photoshop CS2, and a huge box in my room labeled "A Lot of Art Stuff". I just need to sit down, get it all organized and actually DO something with it.

And that is where the main problem lies. I need to DO. I need to actually get it focused in my brain that I can accomplish great things if I just concentrate on my goals.

SO THAT IS WHAT I SHALL DO.

Sometime this weekend...

Because, you know, I'm actually in COLLEGE now guys. (SURPRIIIIISE!) And I've been blessed with an active social life and a fun JOB. (OH MY!) So of course, HOMEWORK & GRADES will be my first priority. When I have free time from Work and Friends I shall jump on the boat and update.

In the meantime, enjoy the downtime. I'll keep you updated.
