Description I guess the only way to become popular around DA is to either make fanarts or comics. Hell yes! I wanna be a cool kid too! >:C

I guess this is the best I could do so I hope this is alright.

...Oh, and no, I'm not a Narutard, the series are cool, though, but I'm not really a die-for-fan. It's just that, he's almost as popular as cornbread nowadays, so why not putting him here?

Who knows, maybe next time I will give Naruto a shotgun. Fo Sho.

Naruto (c) Masashi Kishimoto
Blazeo (c) E. Villa

Who's Blazeo? [link]

And for a deeper reflection about fanart: [link]

EDIT SEE?! THIS IS MY MOST POPULAR DEVIATION SO FAR! CURSE YOU NARUTO!!

But it's verrrrry popular.
1,000+ pageviews on one piece alone.
People on dA are so predictable.

lol, I barely drew fanart after making this :D;;

I think this is why I haven't gotten very far in terms of style and reputation here... Man, I need to practice more.

Thanks for the kind words.

not really, after all you probably get more comments than me right? Develop your style and keep the interesting ideas coming, the best artists took years to get where they are

The problem with Original characters is, that they tend to turn into all powerful Marry Sue style characters, which makes people instantly dislike them.

Well, since that guy's male I guess he's a Garry Stu.

Well, I've tweaked some of Blazeo's charactersistics since then (because, holy shit, this deviation is old), OF COURSE I'VE NOTICED MOST OF MY CHARACTERS WERE KINDA MARY SUES, JEEZ.

Also, recently I've learned that any character technically is an original character. Now, being famous and well known is another story...

I draw half fanart half original. My fanart gets like, triple or quadruple (sometimes x20...) amount of hits compared to my originals. Makes me mad...

But it's the fact of life

blazeo looks cool

Lineart and colors. Your comics have those clever lines and colors that I can't do from scratch in the tablet. How can you do that?
