Ladies and Gentlemen, I have returned after a brief absence.
I have much less time on my hands these days which unfortunately means I won't be able to submit as many pieces of art work. I do however have an extensive back catalogue which I may (or may not) share with you.
Keep it locked in for some more Maijin Kakarroto artwork.

To my people that are just starting out!
Over the years I have had many favourites and watches from people of all sorts of artistic abilities and I love each and every one of those. When I go to investigate what type of art they do I see a few of you wonderful people that are apparently just starting out and are brave enough to share your art with the world. A lot of the time I see people using physical equipment like pens and pencils, just like when I started. It's great for honing your skills and experiencing the tactile sensation of drawing. The drawbacks however, tend to be that when you make mistakes you have to use erasers that if you catch your paper at the wrong angle can smudge your art or even tear the paper! My suggestion to all of you is to acquire a cheap graphics tablet. And when I say this I'm not talking triple figures like I know some of these advanced ones to be, but something real cheap. I think over a decade ago when I got my cheap graphics tablet it didn't cost me any more than £30. I was using it
Something New In 2022
About 3 weeks ago, I decided to stop running from something that I've been running from for a long time. My fear was that I would be tested and fail, like I had done up until this point. My artistic journey from when I could first pick up a pencil until now has levelled up leaps and bounds and I surprised myself with what I have picked up over the years. I did sometimes think that since the late 90s and early 2000's I had been pretty consistently drawing Dragonball Z characters. At this point, two decades later, still drawing those pictures I had wondered if I stagnated. I wasn't looking at the bigger picture and not giving myself enough credit. I had been unconsciously studying anatomy and poses the whole time. Then when I took up a different way of colouring my pictures, the excuses I made were that people were using brushes to get these brilliant finishes; I would never be able to accomplish this with the freeware programs I was using so why try? Still wanting to further my
Patreon...?
So. I've been thinking about how to further monetize my art and I realize that I am, quite rightly, avoiding furthering the reach of my digital illustrations and attempts at digital paintings on particular platforms (I'm lookin' at you TikTok) but I have fully embraced the DeviantArt community as it stands, to the point where I will get so many favourites I cannot keep up with the engagements that my pictures receive, even moreso now I am in dedicated full time employment. I'll fire off an upload and disappear for a while and when I return, because I don't quiet understand the social dynamics of online replies, if I leave it for like a week because work has been whooping my ass, is it too late to reply? Is it like the 'Gram where if you like an image from waaaaay back people will think you're weird even though the pics are left there to be perused at your leisure? I just don't get it. I was thinking about a Patreon or something of the like where I can put up exclusive images, bring in
Two Thousand And Twenty One
It's 2021 and it's looking to be about as bad as last year was. It is what it is. I have such a backlog of work from 2020 I have yet to share with all of you so there will be a combination of old and new work, as usual, when I post up some pieces. Let's see if we can salvage some positivity in this new year because admittedly, it's been a shaky start and we're only a week in. Good luck out there and stay safe.
