Are you a professional? I mean do you do this for a living? I see a lot of great art like this that I think is really amazing stuff, yet it seems that often times the people creating it are labeled off as just another one in the crowd, which is kind of discouraging to me, because it would take ages of learning for me to create something like this, yet it seems that great artists like yourself are often thought to be a dime a dozen, why?

Anyways great work, I truly admire your skill

Yes I am a professional, and well I guess there will always be people who will not appreciate your work as much as we might like but I guess as long as you believe that it's worth it and you have something to say, you just keep on doing it Thanks so much and I hope you get to post something you've made and show it too!

It was done around the season of Tanabata, hmm... it was probably in my subconscious!
