Guys.

...

I didn't make it into Rising Stars.

Not even the FINALS.

I feel fucking pathetic.

And well I broke down a bit,
I was seriouusly so upset...

I mean, never before have I worked so hard and so seriously on a project...

I spent 3 months writing it ><
Then a month on the scripting...

and

the final 3 weeks before it was due
I gave birth to the comic.

And now here it is before me...

and I'd love to share it with you--

And sadly I wish i knew
why my entry was not chosen..

Like, did I get worse?
I don't believe so.
Maybe it is because...

my work so deviates from the stereotypical "manga"
rip-off, regurgitated anime vomit...

I'm not like that and you guys KNOW IT.

And well

I'm going to CONTINUE to deviate from MANGA.
Fuck manga.

I draw
my own work.
Not something
you see off the shelf.

So fuck this.

I'm creating a new path now.

Care to follow?

Care to take alook
at something new
and beautiful?

My luvs,
You have no idea how much all of your support means to me...

YOU GUYS keep my work ALIVE.
ALL OF YOU INSPIRE ME.

If no one wanted to take a peek..
just a tiny look at my work--
The world would never know.

They would never know.

But now I'm going to keep going...

I'm better than this.

And now
more people will know
I exist.

Thank you.
