Just felt like putting up some more trance. Time attacks and group races go great with this song. It is just so EPIC!!! XD

Losing My Spark... :/

Lately, I've been feeling like total crap...I just feel like giving up becoming a mangaka, crawl under a rock, and throw away my art...being a mangaka is only a dream that will never come true...

So, I was searching the internet and found this artist named Tony Taka. This guy's art is AMAZING. Looking through some of his artbooks I found something...inspiration. This man...has brought it back to me. That will to keep drawing; that fire that got me wanting to become a mangaka in the first place!

I have found my new spark! This is it! I can't give up and I won't give up dammit! I WILL become a mangaka!!!

Thank you to everyone who has subscribed to my portfolio. I won't let you down!
