Your inner world is a world that recognizes many serious injustices and problems with society, but attempts to sugar coat and simplify them. I feel some anger and messages from your art, such as the parts in Edepth with Heart over the injustices done to native americans. A lot of your anger and message, however, feels dulled by the light heartedness of the art style.

Hope I haven't offended. It's just a little thing I noticed.

Interesting how you would get "anger" as an impression.


Thanks for the honest feedback. :) *thinks about it.* 9w9a

Anger is a good thing. It shows that your world has a big enough problem with something from this world to want it to change. Your anger is a more calm, justified anger.

I've been so busy with con crap I haven't gotten time to properly think up an answer for you when I became free >__< Here goes:

I think your manga work is definitely the best of your works. They seem to start pretty casual and fun at first, then you really touch on interesting issues and themes later in the story. At first I didn't think much about 2Masters even though you called it your truly epic long series as it seemed to be a typical fantasy story. But after reading the future pages at your place I realize a lot more about you that I didn't know at the time. You put so much work and research into your works, and there's so much insight revealed in the story. It seems to be a bit of a shame it isn't seen early on to hook readers as the beginning tends to be the intro to make it stand out a bit more. Hopefully the readers will stay around to really appreciate it :) I remember enjoying Edepth Angel as I was like "Oooh Mecha! And a girl drew it, even Cooler!" It really does grow as a series as the theme matures and such these last few years :D

I'm not gonna comment much on illustration work as there's many great illustrators. But your illustrations tend to reflect your manga work, so it holds more feelings and purpose when you know the character and what's happening. But to the average viewer they wouldn't get it and treat it as a standalone. That makes your illustrations harder to be liked on a more general level. General level seems to prefer a lot more high detailed work and such for the viewer to be impressed. You don't have the time for that as manga is a full time job and you're already doing a wonderful job on it :) There aren't many manga artists on DA that can match your level of skill. If we have enough surplus of pages I think you can spend more time devoted to leveling up your illustration work if you feel like it ^_^

And I just love your animation. Still needs refining but I think we'll get there in time :) At the same time we'll probably train new artists as well so that's a really unique skill as well :D I know you're not moody anymore over this but I just think I should have written this for you now that I'm free XD well mostly anyway .. >.<; Back to con work ... *sighs*

You are right, my personality is really the type that people need to take the time to know me. Other i can just fade into the crowd. My art reflect exactly that. Urk, in both a good...and bad way. X_X

:hug: Thank you for the kind words and encouragement. :tears:

I'm gonna second what some others say... I don't think I've seen your inner world. Your art is technically very good, but emotionally... not really - like your characters are supposed to show whatever emotion, and you did all the right "lines" on the face to make this expression, but I can't actually "feel" that emotion from them. Your art doesn't really show much of your emotions in it, either.
Your style is very "generic manga," there's not really any personal touch. Like someone else said, this makes it a bit forgettable.
I have the same problems, though, so .. no clue how to improve that >_<

interesting conflicting info i have gotten here through the feedbacks. lol~
When i do illustration type work, it's mostly to relax and to improve skill,
so there isn't any strong emotion I needed to let out behind them.

If there's any strong emotions, it's all in my mangas,
if I have emotions to go through it will be on there,
but it's up to people to see if they can feel that.

For your work I see an artist trying hard to learn to become better. That's what I see.
