Hey everyone hope y'all have been well I kinda wanna talk about something different, more like why I'm doing all this and choosing to pursue this maybe if someone sees this and they can relate to it or it could uplift them you never know
Anyways I've been trying to pursue this type of career since I was a small kid I've always been drawing and into animated stuff and comics and and manga, fast forward to 9th grade I was watching toonami and thought to myself man I wanna make something that would end up on toonami
(now yes I know that doesn't make sense if I'm going to pursue comic/manga making but it was more I want to make something that gets animated one day and that's how it ends up on toonami )
Ever since then I've been practicing and improving my skills more and more so I can become an excellent cartoonist and mangaka but along the way I had a thought, I was like “well hey what type of message am I going to put out in the world with my art” originally my stories were very dark and it reflected the way I felt bout the world but then I had another random thought “why don't I put something positive out into the world” cuz think bout it I can hate the world as much as I want but things won't get better if I don't start trying to put out some good vibes
So that's what put me on the path I'm on now and I know my art doesn't look the greatest but that's ok I wanna show people that you can still tell great stories even if your art isn't the best I wanna help motivate people who have a good story but are selfconscious about their art to just go for it
I also want to give younger folks who look like me the joy of seeing a character they can relate to or that represents them in some way shape or form because no matter what anyone says, representation matters who knows maybe one day I'll make a character that many of them can look up to as a positive role model, I wanna put out positive media media in recent times has been so dark and depressing I wanna make something for a younger audience that will inspire them to be better people
I wanna help bring back some happiness and hope into recent media
Hopefully one day someone will see this and they'll be just as inspired as I am, that's who I am as a person and what my dreams and goals and ambitions are I feel like y'all should know that and hey if that aligns with you then I hope to have you on board and I won't let ya down
The way the world is going I feel like kids deserve to read something that lifts them up so they don't have to think bout how bad the world is and when it's time for them to get older they help make it a better place
But yeh also I got to show y'all something
I been working hard on all these storyboards
I also learned that a contest is coming up so not only will I put this online for the world to see imma enter in the contest I don't think I'll win but I think it'll be nice to see how far I get
