So a dilemma has arisen.
multiple dilemmas actually.
The first of which being that, well, I'm thinking of making a new account. Although that may seem nonsensical (and it probably is) I have an urge for some re-branding. the name "takomakisan" doesn't seem as fitting anymore, seeing as I'm trying to lean away from the anime inspired art style. As for why I haven't been posting recently, FA (to my knowledge) does not allow users to change usernames. Hence, I have decided to stop posting on this site until i can come up with a name that I'm willing to live with for a while. If you are interested in my recent work, you can check here
the second, and more poignant issue has been weighing quite heavily on me. The direction that I have been pushing my recent are has sunk beyond derivative and is becoming close to being down right mimics. If you don't know what I'm talking about, some of my new work has been inspired heavily by my favorite artists on this site, j being one of particular note. This "thievery" of style has been dragging on my conscious, bringing by artistic drive to a proverbial halt. Until these issues are sorted out, I may be sort of inactive on this site. Sorry.
please stay tuned however. I don't plan on giving up art, or on this site by any means. I'm just trying to get things straightened out.
