Retiring
7 years ago
General
Yes, unfortunately it is in fact that time for me to move on. This wasn’t something that spawned on me at last minute. In fact I’ve thought about this really since the beginning of this year.
There is a couple of main factors that have played into this. I don’t want to repeat my self with the whole job thing, I’ve written about multiple times, But that’s one. The second reason is I’ve tried reignite that passion I once had but every-time I tried to get to work It usually only lasts for about a half of hour to an hour. I think it’s show in the last year.
During the course of last several months I did think of doing a Patreon, but the lack of content is really not good thing. Especially if I need to take off and work on a project. It’s not fair to the people that would sign up given my track record.
I’ve already closed my Pay-pal account.
I’m going to close most of my accounts expect for FA and Tumblr. I’ll leave those open.
For the Characters that I did (I really can’t claim them 100% on my own, because it’s just my take on those said characters.) people are more then freely to draw them. I’m not selling them, I’m giving them away to everyone.
The Comic, someone can finish this off or more then welcome to do so. Sketches are there it so it just needs Inks and colors. Hell, you can even make your own dialogue up. I have some done, but if you update it with yours, you’re free to do so.
Now on more of a Positive note. It’s has been a wild 6 years since I started and I really felt that I’ve matured in my drawings. From Crap/Ok to Ok/Decent (this is a joke), and I gotta say for all the drawings I’ve done, it’s mainly been positive comments. I’ve barely gotten anything negative and when it was negative it usually was fucking funny. Like I remember getting one comment that said something like “T-rex arms”. I laughed my ass off, but I always thought that as a inspiration to improve in my drawings. Going back to more of the positive. I reached over a 10,000 followers on Tumblr and I believe something like over 4,000 on FA. That’s quite to achievement (at least for me), and that’s because of you guys! Thank You!
And thank you for putting up with some of my bullshit!
To all those future or amateur artists, just don’t let people get you down. Yea, it sucks and sometimes it can be down-right gut wrenching that someone tells your art is a pile of shit, but down let hang over your head. Think of it as a inspiration to improve. Draw from reference, do quick little art studies on the body part that’s giving you trouble. I know you want get to drawing what you want, but sometimes you just need to take three or four steps back in order to move forward.
What’s in store for me in the future? I don’t know, but I’ll have to see and find out. As far as me stopping drawing all together. I’m not, I’ll probably do it in my free-time.
I can’t really think of too much else to say, and this is probably already a mess of a letter. I’ll probably reply to some of the DMs.
So with that BEST WISHES AND THANK YOU TO ALL!
On a side note, Tonight I’m going to rub one off like a Champagne of Victory!

I will miss your artwork but I am happy to know that I got to enjoy it well you where on this site and uploaded your works so that others could enjoy
But I understand. Be sure to let us know if you ever decide to come back.
Take care of yourself.
But hey, it was good to get to see new works coming out when you were able to put the pen to paper so to speak. :)
Best of luck to you in your future endeavors.
Hey DR!
[/b]Been a big fan of your arts for a little while, seeing your works always inspired me to try and do better myself! And while I am sad to see you taking a step back, I really appreciate all the awesome things you've left behind!
Not really one to be on Tumblr, but I'll keep an eye on your FA just in case you feel like sharing some of the pieces you do in your free time!
I'll definitely have to draw one or two of your character interpretations at some point~
Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors, and I hope that whatever life has in store for you, carries you on the highway to happiness! :)
