The new O, do you like it?

Looks arn't everything. Sure the new Otaku looks hightech.. but I honestly prefer the old Otaku.. it was so much better.. You could decorate your site as you wished ..upload numerouse amounts of pics a day.. unlike this new 1 pic every 24 hour thing.. whats that about? And I cant find my old friends withought having to dig through a bunch of pics to find thier artwork and add them as a friend again.. I thought when they were going to improve the O it was going to be like Deviant-art or something where we can controll how many submissions we post and its pretty easy to find people. sometimes I think the old ways are the best.

Art is not a popularity contest

I found this qoute by an artist named Jan Harrison to be so true its gonna be my new motto.

"My Advice is to not fall into thinking that art is a popularity contest, and not fall into egotism. Try to witness yourself. Don't put other people on pedastals and don't put yourself on a pedestal. There are plenty of artists in the world, but if you are true to yourself, you will be special in your own way."

And I say if someone dislikes the things you draw or write, and they tell you to stop, dont! You shouldnt care what other people think what matters is what you think as long as you like it dont quit.
A Writer wouldnt stop writing just because someone disliked thier story's, those few people are specks on a whale compared to the whole that enjoy it.

So keep doing what you do and love it because you imagined it.

Whats new

The new Otaku sure is cool.. Im still getting used to it though lol.. though when I seen we could reply to comments I tried it and it didnt work.. I guess there still working an a few minor stuff.. well anyways.. just to let you know I have started working on my Orig Manga Arsenaway again but I dont think the new pages will be up soon ..stupid homework.. but ill post something to let you know when I do.. same goes for "Memories" and a heads up for everyone. I do not take requests. only for special ocasions or if I feel like it.. but its usaly a no. However I do take Art trades. This way I get something in return.. and I may start taking Commisins as well.. Comisions if you dont know are artworks that you payfor. ... oh and I won that Nyaf winter contest a while back.
