my run here at deviant art is over. i will nolonger be shackled to the chains of checking deviations, posting deviations, teenage angst when they really should get out and play sports. I grow weary of all this "i am goth therefore I am cool and better than you" crap. the idea of childish drawings of someone elses characters being called art makes me laugh. while learning to draw by copying somone elses style is a good method, try something original. of over 11 million deviations 10.5 million look alike. also for all you teenybopper girls out there taking selfportraits, stop trying t look 21 and admit you are 12 or 13 or 14 or whatever. be a kid, enjoy it. your life doesn't suck, you are lucky to be alive, you are lucky to have a computer, you are lucky to have a camera, you are lucky that you have parents that give you the tools and encouragement to createand explore the wolrd of art. too many people in this world have no food, few clothes and no roof over their head. they have not medicine or even no parents. be grateful for what you have, appreciate it, show it how much you love it (and not you damn cat either). and go see your god damn therapist and get some fucking prozac...if you can't appreciate your life find someone who can prescribe you something to make you appreciate it. goodbye once and for all....btw did you know by giving you the ability to have a forum for your work deviant art can and will eventually steal it for their own profit?
