Dear everyone,

I am under a lot of stress lately.
I have a little over two weeks to have a month's worth of material to present to editor's from Dark Horse, Marvel, DC, Viz Media and Archaia. This not even counting the storyboards I have to finish!
I am begging you to understand why I need to step away from Deviantart for now. I will not be answering to comments, notes or e-mails regarding commissions.

I sincerely apologize for not posting the sketches I have done so far. I would like to clean them up a bit before I post them on the main gallery; however, I have no issues sending you what I have so far. I will be contacting you via e-mail. If your name has been checked off (√) that means you will be hearing from me. If not, please be patient, I will finish your commission.

This is an opportunity I get once a year and I cannot fail to present professional material. I hope you all understand.

_______________________________________

I have so many deadlines mid-May. I'm a little stressed and pressured to do all of it fast and beautifully. I am sure it'll all work out but I am still nervous to get it all done. Is there a 'pause button' for life? Hahah.
Still working on Sketches & the last tidbits of the colored commissions. Good thing I'm going back home for my best friend's wedding and my birthday! The break will be a very welcoming feeling.

I miss being a student. Seeing your friends, professors and learning new things every day while trying to keep up with the deadlines? That was priceless. Whoever says high school was the best years, clearly didn't go to college ;P
I almost want to go back into the graduate program and apply to learn animation. WOE.

Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful to be working for The Zelda Project as the storyboard artist and for all the working opportunities I've had/have. I'm just getting used to being a 'grown up' I guess. It's still funny to me that I'm finally a professional comic book artist. It hasn't quite sunk in.

I'm so sorry you had to disable comments on [link] , it's such a lovely picture and it's a crying shame that we have to feel like we need to censor things when it's really those who are racist that need to censor themselves T_T. Keep doing what you are doing :iconyeahplz:

Read your artist comment, I must say I loved you interpretation of human Twilight, it really suited her to me, still sucks about the comments you were getting, I hope that doesn't stop you from having characters of many different skin tones. :hug:

Never. I believe that variety enriches a story even more. That's another reason why I like Legend of Korra so much. I'm so happy the main lead is not only a strong, female, but also dark skinned.

I couldn't agree more. I'm happy The Legend of Korra has a main character with dark skin too and Avatar also having had dark skinned characters. I hate it when people purposely draw dark skinned characters with light skin. -_- I also saw a comment were someone got mad over a black Rainbow Dash, they even said that: I know that she "acts black" but the humanoid version of her being black made him want to puke and that he can't marry a black woman (not that he could marry a made up character anyway) "Rainbow Dash remains white" that comment made me so mad. So many of that shows fans are hypocritical they say they love diversity and peace when they only think that if the characters are white or light skinned Asian. >:( I wish more of the shows fans were like you, I'm not really a fan but I do love the human versions of them, and I hate how people are making a kids show out to racist and sexist...

Speaking of coloring a character with lighter skin: I believe the term is 'whitewashing'? In any case, I think 70% of the time is not on purpose but because the artist doesn't know how to color darker skin? I know this happened to me with my Mexican character. I thought I used a dark marker color but as soon as I began adding other colors, he was immediately paled by them! It's much more easy to do it digitally because you can always press the magical UNDO button and pick a darker/cooler/warmer tone.

As to the ignorant comments of those who cannot appreciate beauty in all its shapes, forms and colors: Let them be. There's no better teacher than life itself. Whatever they have coming to them will come in it's own way, shape or form. Trying to convince them will only make it worse and it'll just drain you. So just turn your head the other way and keep doing your own thing.
