Due to the sheer disappointment in the comments I have received on here, I am going to close my account. I do in fact apologize to those who actually do enjoy my artwork. I just feel that the value of appreciation on this site is really horrible unless your a fan artist or have done fan art to get attention. I refuse to drop my standards as an artist in order to be noticed here, therefore I am going to take my leave. If anyone who does appreciate my work please post your name on here before JULY 14th and I will gladly keep you updated with my artwork and such.

Hoping all is well,

Jay Hawkins
Concept Specialist, Triple Strike Media


P.S. All of you fan art lovers don't have too much longer to Favorite that Inuyasha picture I did 4 YEARS AGO that all of you seem to love so much.




...you don't know what you got till its gone.

Soon I'll be posting some sketches of some photos that I have become rather fond of. If all my friends, watcher, and page viewers could comment on my sketches it would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to get faster and better with my artistic skill and where else to get critiques than from here

Thanks

We as people are on constant journey for growth regardless to the degree. Us being incomplete beings, we tend to bring others on this journey with us or join people in theirs.

At the mere age of 18, (in this time) I have experienced many things that have molded my character and shaped my personality. For some time I have been trying to discover truly what I desire in life. Up until this point I have gone about this the wrong way.

Immediately trying to figure out what you want out of life and expecting this answer to come to you directly at some point, automatically prolongs the journey of self-realization. Hating to say this but, time is the biggest factor in this next to patience. Being able to not only wait for the answers you desire to obtain but also being able to move forward and not allowing your desires to be spoon-feed to you. The solution to the questions we present to ourselves may sometimes be right in our faces, or hidden in normal everyday living.

We have to go about this in a "piece by piece" manner. Allowing ourselves to take things in small amounts to gather to be something far greater than we can understand.

Growth is a path full of many obstacles that are there purposely to slow down the process or in some cases even stop it. But we are the ones that set these obstacles in front of ourselves. Everything worth anything is going to be difficult to obtain. Our minds are completely aware of this subconsciously and creates issues for us. But in order for these self-made obstacles to be passed by we must step out of our normal everyday ways of thinking. Allowing ourselves to grow mentally and have our surroundings play catch up to us rather than being the slow ones catching up with our own minds.

Live life your way and not under the influence of others.You will see that in life, sometimes your path may cross or even merge with those around you and even close to you. Don't allow others to form obstacles in your path. Pathways may be intertwined, but they are by all means still separate. Live not the lives of your fellow pathwalkers, mere walk along side them.

We are not obligated by anything or anyone to know exactly what we want ever waking moment of our lives. For the simple fact that if you ask them the same thing, they will give you answer that will change soon after they speak those words.

Even now as I type the final words of this note I am still truly unaware of what is to become of me as a person. But I know now, that I am on the right path in the right direction. Allowing myself to step away from the arrogance of a boy and towards the confidence of a man.

.....And where are you?
