Description
Vent art: plan and simple.The basic jist is that a there's this gal who hangs around some of my other friends that I don't really like. She's very obrasive and opinionated about everything and has a tendency of sounding like she knows best (even though I don't think that's her intent). I have a tendency of avoiding her for the simple fact that she patronizes me: we both have autism and she's taken that as a inscentive to treat me like a little lost lamb that strayed from the flock, to take me under her wing and show me the way with her infinite wisdom. It irks me so I've decided to give her the cold shoulder, I'll find my own way in life thank you very much, and without your pity.
Well, a while back I was doing some personal typing at a longe at the college when she walked up and asked to take a seat near me. I was annoyed but remained polite even as she tried to start up a conversation even as I was CLEARLY busy. Eventually I gave up and started chatting with her, giving her the benifit of the doubt. It actually started going well, I even started reconsidering her. But then we some how got on the subject of fanfictions and such, in which she straight up said. "Yay you need to stop writing fanfictions and move onto REAL writing."
That single sentence struck a blow, she had crossed a line. I defended myself and stated that one day I would "move on" but only when I was ready to (which I'm not) and NOT when some ego boosted girl decided. She "apoligized" but still insisted on the issue despite my greivance, trying to change my mind. It was at that point any chance this girl had at earning my friendship ended.
My anger remained even later into the evening, I couldn't focus on anything else. I've had other people tell me to stop writing fanfictions before, but those where people who I had a long term relationship with and had never been into fanfiction to begin with. But not only did this new up start who barely knew try to force her opinion on me, but she was a hypocrite to boot as she ADMITED to having written fanfictions before moving onto "real" writting. Pathetic.
So here is a VERY pissed Kyon, looking ready to rip some ones face off for a pretentious jerk for trying to control what Kyon does artistically. WATCH OUT!
This really helped with my anger, I think I'll do more vent art in the future. Its really a constructive way to get my feelings out on paper and get me back on track with other work. (Used textures for the background FYI)
And now I'm all the more convinced, I'm going to keep writin and drawing fanfiction for TLK and only when I feel its time to bring it to a close will I do so. SUCK IT YOU BITCH!

THis is awesome btw, like I love the red lighting and the expression is so real looking. Good job on this one! I think emotional art is always best art, because you're drawing with more than just an image in mind you're literally drawing how you feel. I find I do my best writing and drawing when I'm feeling some kind of emotion to such a strong degree that it has to leak out in some way.
As for that girl, fuck her. Like you said it will be in your own damn time when and IF you move out of fanfics. I personally like fanfics more than most original works, there are a few exceptions to that but not many. Like sometimes it's the fanfic that gets me into the actual book/movie/show itself, not the other way around. Fanfic is very important to the ongoing interest in any given thing, because it's a way for that thing to never truly die.

Thanks. Emotion certainly plays a part in my work as a whole. If I'm working on a piece and I want to give a certain emotion, I tend to listen to music that conveys it as I work. It makes it more impacting and allows my feeling to filter through.
Funny enough, I never really drew to many emotional pieces, and even when I did, I didn't show it to others. When I was a little kid in school, I was put in a class where they asked us to draw a mask that expressed how we were feeling. I was having a crummy day, no real reason and certainly nothing important, but I decided to draw my mask being sad. The councillors and my parents blew this WAY out of proportion, I was called into a meeting with my folks and the school psychiatrist and they worriedly asked me what the mask meant. They badgered me on it even though I didn't really care and I was actually making me feel more uncomfortable. After that, I became SUPER careful never to show my personal emotion in drawing rather then happiness as I didn't want to go through that again. I now am more expressive and true to my feelings but it still took a while for me to get to that level.
Again, thank you. I agree, I've come across fan based work that got me originally interested in actually checking out the original product. And I personally think fandoms and making fan work is one of the best parts of getting into a good show or whatever. All those interesting ideas and theories and the possblity of sharing them is truly wonderful, even if you have to deal with the crazy. Plus it can giv you a good chance at practicing and refining your skills as a artist/writer without the stress of making it commercially. In other words, I don't get all the hate surrounding fanbased stuff, people really need to take a chill pill man.

Well that whole story sucked Β sorry you had to go through that. D:
Yeah that's where I'm at, I love theories and seeing where people can take the characters or in my case seeing some shipped together, because without fanfiction I don't think I'd even be doing half the stuff I do. I started drawing and writing because of fanfiction, it was a domino effect for me.

Its okay, I'm learning each day to be more open and communicate more. I'll get there one day, it just takes time.
I'm the same way. I was ALWAYS drawing (seriously, I can't remember a time I wasn't) but I never considered myself much of a writer. Sure I'd do it for class and I did attempt to sit down and write personal stuff but with little success. But when I started writing fanfictions, I not only improved but also learned the system that worked best for me. I wouldn't be writing today if I never got into fanfictions. Well I might be but it likely wouldn't be as good.

Fanfic is amazing! End of story! Fuck anyone who says different.

Ahh the beauty of vent art. Lots of red and rage.Β

Oh you know it. The bloodier the better.

How dare she try to demand you to stop doing something that you love to do. At least that's one unpleasant person you decided to remove from your life, huh?
π: 0 β©: 1
That was my thoughts exactly.
I've had other friends who have tried to get out doing fanfiction but that was because they genuinely thought I was better then it and think I'd could spend my time doing something amazing. They cared about me enough to be honest and apologized afterward when they realized they had crossed a line. I can forgive them for that because they had a right to speak up having known me for so long. But as a newby with a pretentious attitude, she was well out of line.
I'll likely still end up around her because she knows one of my closest friends and hangs around him alot. But from now on, I'm not giving her any more chances.
Plus I have people like you so to support me so its all good.

That is irritating...Im Aspergic myself and I have "friends" like that.Β
The truth is that art is art...there is no definition for it; only smaller and larger fan groups of it.
I mean look at the masters (e.g. Leonardo Da Vinci) most of their paintings depicted biblical or mythical stories. I imagine people in later periods considered it limiting to stick to such topics and styles but that was their problem. They then did what they wanted to do and then their ideas got boring and "limited".
In the end, the definition of art/writing is conveying an idea. Some people will like it some won't...if they don't then they should stop wasting our time and go on their way.
.....Sorry.....heh heh.....I have a habit of going on '

I totally agree with everything your saying.
To attempt to define what is art and to limit others by that expectation is rather cruel.
So long as they're not doing something horribly immoral, who are we to stand in their way?
Plus the world would be more boring because of that limitation.
And hey, I've seen people who are far more wasteful with their time then to write silly little fanfictions.
No need to apologize, I tend to ramble on too.

Awesome picture! But horrible story. Sorry that girl was like that toward you. I hate people like that. >.<

Thanks. The fact I have people on here really helps, its people like you that keep me going. :>
π: 0 β©: 1
Awww, well thanks. Same to you.

Oh hey HD, its been a while. How's school treating you?
Yay they suck but I'll deal.

Oh it's been as good as it gets, just got back from Disney World yesterday o:
Yourself?

Oh ayay. I bet you had fun. I don't really like crowds too much so I never went but I imagine its fun. XD
I've been mostly distracted with work and the how tired I get afterward. It takes a real drain on working on projects. Well that and my mom has some app games on her Ipad that really suck up time and interest like nothing else. I'll get stuff done it will just take a bit of focus on my part.

It was fun, but way to many people. 7 schools in our area went down and played, which was the first time they ever had anything like it. 
Ah yeah, that really sucks. Business and procrastination
π: 0 β©: 1
Yep, you need just the right number of people to make a park like that work. But at least it won't be a forgettable experience.
It does but I'll figure it out. The worst part thus far is waking up so early each morning ( I hate getting up at six each day, it nearly kills me X( ).
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah I agree, there were a lot of people though. My aunt who lives near it came and said it was even more busy than usual. :/
Yeah >.< that really sucks, I usually wake up at 6:30....and that's still WAY to early
π: 0 β©: 1
Damn!
I HATE waking up so early. I'd like this job more if I was allowed to wake up at 7 something rather then 6. Getting up at 6 in the morning doesn't feel right, I consider it to still be night time. Plus, I like to take my time in the morning and not rush out the door, unlike most people who to be permantly stuck in fast mode or something. -_-'
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah .3. no kidding. It's just kinda ridiculous to wake up so early
Well my mum wakes up at 3 every morning
So I guess it could be worse

Wow. Give her my condolences. That must be torture. Oo
π: 0 β©: 1
Haha XD well I think she handles it pretty well

Shit ass story. What a judgmental bitch.
Now that that is out of the way. I love the art. It reminds me of traditional Japanese prints.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yay. Its her lose really. I have people on here who support me and that helps. :>
Thanks. Wasn't my intent but its still a complement.
π: 0 β©: 1
Exactly!!!
I glad you take it as such. Its a more obscure art treatment so not many might recognize what I am talking about.
π: 0 β©: 1
I took three classes of Art History so I got were you were coming from.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh good. Its hard on here sometimes to know how much art history people know.
π: 0 β©: 1
It really is. I remember enough to get by but I'm certainly no expert.
π: 0 β©: 1
Better to have enough to get by than none at all. It makes me a little sad when people do not have a little art history at least. You have to know where you have been so you know where to go.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh most definitely. History is a remarkable teacher and more people need to learn from it.
π: 0 β©: 1
They do. It should be valued more than it is at this point.
