Just wanted to throw out a thanks to everyone who has supported me through my time on DA. I just felt compelled to write this.

For about a year now, I've started to get more and more random favorites and watches, which makes me quite happy as an artist. My goal as an artist is just to have fun and do what I love and not give a shit what others think about it.

I don't do much fanart anymore, but yet my Ben 10 ,Naruto devs, and my stamps keep getting faved, which is quite funny.

I really want to challenge you guys as fellow artists to not favorite things because you like the series, favorite it because it is good art. There are some really good fanarts out there, not just because the person can draw well, no, art is also about capturing a certain feeling and putting your whole being into a piece. Some fanarts capture feelings of series very well, but what I believe gets no respect are the very well original arts. since you don't know the character(s), the feeling might be foreign, but really try to explore each piece with your own soul and see the work that went into it.

That's really all I wanted to say. Thanks again for all of your support and please continue to support and help me as we all grow as people and artists alike.

Yours truly,
Lands
