More from KrayTSAO
Its me KrayTsao, from now on I will be known as Nimbkoll. You can find my new page here : www.furaffinity.net/user/nimbkoll
As you might have noticed, I've been on a 3~4 year hiatus. A lot had happened in the past few years. I went through hard times in my life. My dreams were broken as days past by before me in a haze. I couldn't motivate myself for the longest time and my hands shake uncontrollably as I try to pick up the stylus. Days go by and the pain subsides; now I'm ready to pick up making art again. It's a new beginning for me and I wish to put the past behind me. I'd like to start anew, hence the move. The things I used to draw used to reflect my affinity for the entertainment industry, but now I no longer wish to pursue that route as that dream died long ago. I want to expand my subject matter to a new horizon; I'm going to explore themes and techniques I never touched on before. I'm going to make art for myself first and foremost. I've changed. The past me no longer represent me.
Feel free to follow my new page if you'd like to continue to see my work. I will be posting new work as well as old work that hadn't yet been posted on this page. I also have a fledgling Twitter account you can follow : https://twitter.com/nimbkoll
Wish you all have a good day, as I sure wish to have good days ahead for myself too.

I know that we were not really close but I feel compelled to respond to this with more than the simple "Whelp! Best o' luck and good for you, Buddy" that most people leave on posts like this. I have been on a similar road before and what I learned may be of some help, so some friendly advice to consider;
Following new horizons is always good. Expanding into new and uncharted territory is part of growth and it's health. I say right on to that. What concerns me is that you are severing your old self. We are fluid. We grown and change, but making grandiose declarations about that really is a sign that you aren't really changing, rather you are running. When real change happens we are often more matter-of-fact about it. The reason is that when we are living and growing, we are our changes every day. Authenticity is the sign of actual growth. I am not saying you are making it up, but what I am saying is, are you so ready to suicide your previous self? Shutting doors makes them harder to re-open.
There was a time when I left DA to persue new horizons on FA. Going back, I have never been able to rekindle the fire I have going on that site since. I left FA once as well and took down all my work. I lost all the lovely comments, thoughts, and ideas people had left me. Now, having come back and reposted a lot of it, I find I miss those. Going in a new direction is positive, but disregarding who we were and where we come from will turn that positive to a negative, fast. Beware you are not shutting the car door on your own fingers.
Please understand, I do not have any investment in you or your work, not to be cold, but what ever you choose does not personally effect me. What I am saying is just good advice that I learned and it's totally for you to consider or disregard as you will. Cheers and good luck.

I appreciate your thoughts. Change happens gradually and a lot had happened in the past few years. I don't expect you to fully understand as I don't feel like disclosing my story unless it's to someone who's close to me. I'm not gonna nuke this FA account and it will be archived for people to see. I believe what I do is the right choice for me.
The industry really burned you, eh? Commercial work does that more often than I can account for, it ruins a LOT of talented artists; diminishes their passion with monstrous abuse and corporate bullying. I'm glad you were able to return to art at least, and I'm interested to see where you go. Take care, fuck capitalism, and draw on! :D
The term "Never meet your hero, they'll never measure up." I've found can also apply to industries that one thinks they want to work for, only to end up in it and find it's nothing like they thought it was going to be.
It's all part of the learning/experience/learning cycle to finally figure out where your place is. The days of schooling one's self to do a specific job for the rest of their days are long, long over.
But, at the very least I have so thoroughly enjoyed what you share with us. Your imagination is fertile and your craft excellent. Thank you for bringing us along for the ride. :}
