...starting DA from scratch. Seeing the success that I had back in high school because of all of the fan art that I have on this account is inspiring. Truly <3. But I find it frustrating and confusing when I post original content, original stories on my other account, and they just don't seem to stick.
Is fan art the only way to garner fans? Is it the only way to get people to pay attention to the creations that are closest to your heart? I know it definitely connects you with people because you share similar interests, but it's odd...deep down in my heart of hearts, all I want to do is create what's closest to my heart and what I really want to dedicate myself to, which are my own stories. I don't want to have to draw fan art just in order to bring more people closer to me--that doesn't feel right.
I'm hoping that in time, with or without fan art's aid, I'll be able to experience the success like I had back in those high school days where I had over 10 comments on each of my comic pages, where I open my inbox and have a crap-ton of notifications. I'm excited to have an audience again <3.
Phew! Seriously had to get that out of my system. IN OTHER NEWS!
I've officially begun the production of GRAE. You can find it in all of these places:

I'm literally posting this thing all over the place XD, but it's because I freakin' love it. Unfortunately it hasn't gotten into the midst of all of the excitement...YET. It'll be getting there soon
. Meaning next week XD. GRAE updates every Saturday. I'm SUPER tempted to have it update twice a week, BUT...I'm currently freelancing three different projects AND looking for full-time work in the process. And then drawing comic pages and making YouTube videos when I have a spare moment XD. Oh, AND MAKING MUSIC, LISTEN TO IT HERE:

Ah, hell. Here's my YouTube channel too while I'm at it :

All of you that are still here, that are still watching and listening, thank you. Your presence is so appreciated. I never realized it before, but...it is. So, thank you. All of you that have been watching me, whether it's from the very beginning, or whether it's starting from this moment on.
If you are just starting to watch this page, watch my other page, as THIS ACCOUNT (UZUMAKI-AKANE-SAMA) IS (PRACTICALLY) NO LONGER ACTIVE.

All my love to every one of you. Thank you always for your support, no matter how big or small. I look forward to hearing your responses to GRAE!!

Please Read :)! New Comic Proposal.
Hello everyone! Ali here. I know how boring journal entries are to read, especially if it's from someone like me who isn't on DeviantArt very often anymore (so I lose a lot of connection with you guys), but I would really appreciate it if you took a minute to read this journal entry : ). (If you're not interested in reading all of this, jump down to the IMPORTANT section :).)
So! As some of you know, I've been on and off drawing the Kingdom Hearts Roleplay comics and haven't really drawn them at all as of late, mostly because of a lack of motivation and inspiration to do them, and partly because school and work have really taken over most of
Time Lapse Drawings...
Hello everybody! I hope that you're all having a wonderful Christmas break, and if not, then I hope that things are going smoothly for you anyway!
I have some random stuff that I wanted to share with you :D. Lately, I've been making these time lapse drawing videos and posting them on YouTube and my Facebook page and thought that I would share them with you in case you want to see how I draw things digitally. Unfortunately I haven't figured out how to do this with traditional drawings yet, but I was able to find a way to do digital drawings.
Here are the videos that I've made thus far::

In case you're unaware...:D
Hello everyone! Ali here! So, I just wanted to write a quick journal post apologizing for the fact that I just barely got on DA again after about a year and a half. SO CRAZY! But so much has happened!
I wanted to tell you that I'm hardly updating this page anymore (unless it's Kingdom Hearts comics), so please go to MY NEW PAGE which can be found here>> http://alexisnaquel.deviantart.com/
Also, I wanted to tell you all that this summer I was able to release my first music album (I've been working on it since last February [2011]), and I'm currently in the middle of producing a music video! Doing music has been one of the funnest things I ha

I realize this is kind of an old journal, but I totally understand how frustrating that can be. I wanted to start a new DA account for my new stuff, but I realized I would basically lose the little fanbase that I already had from all my old work. What I ended up doing was actually just paying for a month of premium membership so that I could change my name, put all of my old art either in my scraps, storage, or an "old" folder, and then started putting out my new art.
Original art doesn't come with automatic fans, like fanart does, but using deviantart groups can help get your work out there for people to see.
Anyway, I thought I'd just add my two cents on this in case it might help you.
