Hey, man. Long time no see or talk.
Life's been busy but its never too busy for art.
I have been drawing a lot of Naruto lately but I am still trying out new styles. haha. I don't like manga as much as I used to. I prefer a mix of western comics.
You have improved a lot. I'm impressed. You've gotten quite good with SAI now.
These days, I'm working 8 hours a day in accounts. When I get home- this is what I do. I look at art or draw. Not a bad life. Because I have less time nowadays, I try to practice as much as I can when I have free-time.
So you still in Japan then? How's your life?
Its good to hear that your DA is re-opened. I've been on Pixiv before. Very high grade art.
Well, I look forward to more of your work.

Hi yeah, nice to heard that you did find a nice job,
Drawing naruto its good for fam especially in DA, you did great improve as well,
as cultures differ, its normal for you to love western comics style, and also a must to be an element in
your art works, just like my friends that live in America, they adapted to what client needs
Im still in Japan, quite busy as well, for the life. its really no easy to mention..
not in a few words, you can concluded it in sort of impressive but hard.
Firstly Im now studying Japanese here, but I wont have a chance to study manga as before, and I need to prepare for job immediately if any available, and chances in Japan are really hard for foreigners, days not easy.
Hope you enjoy your work now~

Sooo, how is life? You have not been on DA much. I have not seen any of your new work.
But let me say that you have improved a lot. Your style must be popular on Pixiv. Its very moe. I like it.
I'm still deveoping my style and have secretly started a project to draw my own comic.
How has your job search gone? Have you found one yet? I understand that the economy is not great. But the fact that you know a lot of Japanese now must help. So good luck.
Keep drawing, my friend. Never give up on your dream. Talk to you soon.

WOW!!! This is amazing!!! So, you drew this too as well as colored it? This is amazing!! I was hoping to see some of your original work sometime ^^
You're amazing!!

Thanks very much. I wish I really was amazing 
Thank you, I really do hope to show you my original work some day. But at the moment I'm really lacking in imagination. I'm not even motivated to draw or do art unless someone tells me to.
But thank you nonetheless.

Well I think you're amazing and I can't wait to see you do original work. Gotta kick that imagination into gear!!

My dream is to be able to self-publish a manga and, well, try sell it at an expo. Even if none sold, I'd have a copy to myself. It be my accomplishment.
My plans on DA was always to get me motivated enough to draw. For instance, through coloring SpectorKnight's work, I've learnt so much about digital coloring.
After these requests are finished, i plan on becoming a full-time art appreciator and just fade away from the art scene. I know I've said this many time before but I do hope to give back support to this community.
I really hope that this retirement is the real deal. And, in my free time I'll work on this elusive manga/ comic of mine. Even if I just do a panel per day...

I've always wanted to do a manga too but I lack the artistic skills. I had a friend who I drew with but...he dropped off the face of the earth in my life, and so did our potential contract with TOKYOPOP ...>_<...
Its a shame that you plan on fading into the background...you have more talent and skill than I do with art. Is it finding inspiration to draw that's the hardest part for you? Or is it the lack of confidence in your skills?

These manga collabs have a habit of turning out like this. I've had experience of this myself. I was once part of a writer and artists' circle. The lead-writer had no art abilities herself but sorted out all the financing and publication details.
But as she was the one who wrote the story and designed the characters, the other artists including myself did not feel attached to the project. And eventually it just turned into a chore. She was chasing deadlines like mad and kept asking for the re-drawing of panels- much to my annoyance.
However, one volume does exist in the UK. My chapter would have been in the second volume. But saddly it never took flight. Its been such a long time. I would upload the original pages but saddly I lost them. Its better that way I'd say, I sucked back then. And I'd prefer this project to remain a memory.
Inspiration is probably one of the reasons why I want to stand down. If your art is not a popular anime series then people don't want to know. That is how is. I'm running out of things to draw.
Lastly, I just thought, wouldn't it be nice if for once I can be an art-appreciator and give support and encouragement to all those who have helped me develop as an artist. i think its only fair.
Don't give up on that manga by the way! Art is all about trial and error. Keep drawing if that is your dream.

The difference between you and me is that you have the skill and potentiel to be a manga artist. You may lack in the inspiration departent but you really do have that capacity, and the ability to grow in that.
I have inspiration but i lack the skill. I cannot and will not get better no matter how hard I try because of my visual limitations. I hate it when people say "oh just keep trying, practice makes perfect" and other cliched things like that. It's nice wistful thinking. But no matter how hard I 'try' or 'wish' it otherwise, there is no way to change my vision loss, and no cure for it. There is no hope of it getting better and that is fact. Artist like you do not have a physical handicap. You're limiting yourself although the tools for improvement are readily available to you. I have done what I can so far to learn how to draw, but I am at my limit. People praise my drawings for more then they're worth BECAUSE I am vision impaired. If it was done by any other normal person, if i DIDN"T have the impairment, my drawings would not be as impressive. Don't say it isn't true because it is. It's happened to me so many times, especially in real life.
Don't throw away your artistic potential. Unless you /really/ just feel no desire to draw, don't throw it away. It would be as stupid as my idiot friend who chooses not to drive. Not because he can't but because he just dosent want to learn how t even though he's perfectly capable of doing so. It upsets people like me who would LOVE to learn how to drive but physically cannot because of a real, phsyical limitation.

You'll be surprised by what you can achieve when you put your mind to it. For those who think it is wishful thinking, do not know the work of Kotobuki Shiro [link] . The guy can't use any of his limbs and he can draw better than half the people on DA. It doesn't sound impressive until you've seen the video but sadly its taken off youtube. The guy draws with a pen tied to a stick... in his mouth. Yet his anatomy drawing is some of the best I have ever seen.
I highly recommend you look this guy up and don't just dimiss him as an otaku pervert.
Surely there must be a way to aid your visual impairment and enhance your drawing experience.

I'm sorry but please do not tell me this. This is not very comforting to me.
I've known and personally met people like Mr. Kotobuki who paint with their mouths or draw with their feet. Everyone says such cliched things like this "If you just point your mind to it", "if you just try hard enough", "there's someone for everyone" and I understand it is their attempt to make sense of the world and offer solace. It dosen't work on me. What is absent here is the failure to recognize my pain and my struggle for self worth and self identity in a world that defines its successes and values against people like me. I'm not even all that talented, and I am not Mr Kutobuki or Ron Hegal, or Keith Jones, or Song Myunghee. I draw because I enjoy drawing but i'm not very good at it and i hate it when people try to use my disability to justify the impressive value of my drawings. Their experience as a disabled person is different from my experience as a disabled person. The clinched remarks hurt me more then they help because they are cheap, shallow, "easy" answers to my strife and my struggle with myself, while failing to distinguish reality from the ideal.
I'm visually impaired. Ther'es no cure for it. Its going to get worse as I age. No matter how hard I try, no amount of positive thinking is going to change that. Nor is it going to change the social attitudes that I face. Drawing manga and anime is visual. The fact of the matter is, I have limitations in achieving this visual art. I have tried various things to help me draw in other ways, but in the end, the facts still remain- my poor eyesight is a barricade to improved, skilled artwork. It is the same thing with society. No matter how positively I act. No matter how friendly or intelligent or kind I am towards people. I'm still going to be shunned and ignored and looked down on because of my disability resulting from societies preconceived notions and lack of wiggle-room on this respect. So please do not tell me "If you just try hard enough" or "If you put your mind to it" and related to relationships "There's someone for everyone" and so on. This is nice thinking but this is not reflective of the real reality that I face. Prejudices, social, and physical barriers are far more difficult to transient than just some sappy cliched remark can offer.

You are probably right. I cannot begin to understand your individual struggle.
However, I believe that something as simple as hope should always remain constant.
Isn't that what our faith is about: to be able to feel the intangible, see the invisible and achieve the impossible. Even if not in the physical sense, spiritually it will enrich us. At least with this attitude you will not automatically sink into depression.
I also don't believe in this so-called talent. Time, sweat, blood and tears is the only thing that separates the ordinary from the extraordinary. Of course, money and resources can help a lot too.
If visual art cannot be achieved then why not put your energy in writting a novel. It'll be a way to channel your creativity.

i'm content with enjoying my art as a leisure. That is all. I've never held big aspirations for artwork.
