.......... All I have ever dreamt about. Drawing and become known among the
little people for what I draw seems to have come true. But not in the matter
I dreamt it would be... I know that there are people out there who likes
what I draw. But it seems that this little subject of "Jade" having some
resemblance to Des Lee (Copyright James Hardiman) keep comming up... I
seriously can't take it any more - I have had enough...
You can say it is foolish or what ever you would call it. But who is the
fool..? The one who removes his work and his dreams from the masses so that
the majority can stay happy...? Or the once who "slays" a "new born" creator
for what he has made - Even if it brought happyness to some..? Who..?
I know that this may sound silly in your ears, but since I apeared in this
community and pressanted Jade to you all, I was just trying to make people
happy with what I enjoyed making... But all I ever hear over and over again
is people calling me a copy-cat...
Right now my mind is set, and I have more or less lost all interest in this
kind of community (The Furry-Community)... It is true that I have met people
who greated my and giving me a thumbs-up, but I have encounterd even more
peple who would rather see me hang because they believe that I steal James
M. Hardiman's art and using it in my own name...
I honor the art other artists have made and they all have my deepest
respect... But if you all keep chasing new artists away this community will
come to an end sooner then you think...
All of this has made me extreemly sad and I will not bother you with my
words no more...
