Raven Sleepwalking

You know, I tried to make a video where I explained how this is a prime example of past success hindering future progress. In the video, you see me work on this and it's a struggle because I'm trying to make something similar to some of my past work. The problem is that I have a terrible speaking voice and I'm a shitty artist, so who gives a shit what I have to say. So I scrapped my voiceover in favor of music.

Raven Art Jam

Raven was the subject of an art jam hosted by 14-Bis. Now I'm not a fan of 14-bis. I think his work misses when it comes to the basics, but exceeds in terms of polish. It irritates me that I see all of these formal errors in his drawings, and yet he has people fawning over him for three reasons. He sexualizes cartoons in a generally competent way and does it in a cosistent manner. He knows how to polish up his work and make it very neat. He know what his audience wants. It has nothing to do with actually being a good artist.

I mean, I've seen people with almost no popularity get totally ignored or treated like dirt who can draw and paint 10,000 times better than 14-bis and it pisses me off. If you're going to treat someone differently because they are popular, you are a sicophant.

I entered this Jam to expose my work to more people. I used his popularity to get my work out there, and I really don't feel bad about it in the slightest. The fact of the matter is, that's why most people entered it and I would totally ignore anyone that says otherwise. Having your work on 14-bis' journal guaranteed more favs than normal.

If I had posted these on their own, they would've gone totally ignored.

Raven in Lowcut Jeans Redux

Occasionally I get the urge to go back and redo an old piece of work.

More Deviant Art deletions

A cunt deleted this work, so I'm posting this here. This is my virtual middle finger. Sit on it and spin.

OR

I hope that the ones who support and enjoyed this work will enjoy it here instead. I'll be uploading work like this here instead from now on. Deviant Art is now my print bitch, nothing more.
