As of late, I've been thinking allot about the kind of artist I want to be. For as long as I can remember, I've gotten through most of childhood and most of my high school career by just copying the art of others. I would always make horrible alterations of characters from comic books and some how find the balls to say that they were "original" when I knew otherwise. When I finally broke out of this habit though, there were always doubts as to whether or not I was really meant to be an artist at Digipen or in any creative community for that matter. Whenever I look at the work of my fellow student and then my own, I always think that I'm good enough some how, like I'm only kidding myself by going through with this.
However, I refuse to let this doubt hold me back to what I know I was meant to do. After all, for some great artists, it took them years to finally achieve the type of anatomically correct pieces they were famous for. Plus I have to at least cut myself some slack, considering most of the other students are far older then I am, some with almost whole decades ahead of me. In retrospect, I should really feel too bad about it. Anyways, I'm tired of using bandwagons and gimmicks to get where I want and it's high time I start paving my own chapter into the creative community. I'll be using this sight to show some of my animations and original works, but as of now, I refuse to post any fan art.
