Personal opinions on (Hetalia) fanart

Fri Nov 13, 2009, 6:13 PM
Okay. I know not many people visited my profile page but I still want to say this:


Hetalia really means a lot to me because I felt my drawing skills actually improved quite a lot because of it. Right now, I admit that I draw because of Hetalia. And this is actually the first time I'm SOOOOO into an anime/manga. Drawing something that I really like usually helps me improve. (And plus, I totally suck at original drawings... yeah~I know....|||"Orz) It's just like how some people say "you should choose a major that you are interested in for college".
I do put a lot of time and effort into my fanarts... So, yeah, please don't hate them even if you are sort of irritated by them~ :S

One thing I really need to clarify is that: Yes, I do love the "bounding" between the characters in Hetalia; however, I DON'T "moe" over the historical context (especially wars) behind Hetalia. (i.e. moe-ing over the Hiroshima & Nagasaki bombing). Wars are just something that should never be messed with...
I actually gained a lot of awareness, appreciation, and respect for world history after watching Hetalia. (This is also the biggest reason why I love Hetalia so much!) History definitely provided many valuable lessons for people to learn from.


***

Speaking of fanarts in general, I do appreciate artists' efforts and hard work, no matter which/what kind of fan art they draw. (<--- this applies to all other forms of art as well.)
You can tell from artists' works if they put in a lot of time and effort or not; or if they are more or less skilled. Yet, I don't like to judge what's good art or bad art. Only the artist themselves can judge it because it's their work.
Fan arts really depends on the artist. Even if I don't know anything about the anime/manga they are making fanworks on, it does not stop me from appreciating their artworks.


Hmm... enough serious stuff being said.


I probably won't submit anything new until Thanksgiving... CIAO~<3

  • Mood: Remorse
  • Listening to: whatever song is playing on my roommate's iTunes
  • Drinking: Coke zero

Thanks to my dad, who was really good at drawing scenery with colored pencils--- he inspired me to draw when I was 5!

Hello to all, this is Dye.
I'm an university freshman, raised in Taiwan, now studying abroad in NY.

I enjoy being alone in my room and just draw & sing along with whatever song my iTunes is playing. (I'm living with 3 roommates now, which really bothers me sometimes...I want privacy and quietness >O<!!!)

My ultimate dream is to travel around the world someday. I want to live in Japan, UK, and Germany. A more practical dream...? To publish a doujinshi, hopefully. ;)

I love Japanese anime/manga! (I love yaoi, btw.)
I read/watch NARUTO, Bakuman, Axis Powers Hetalia, Kaichou ha Meido Sama, Ouran High School Host Club, Kuroshitsuji, Full Metal Alchemist, and much more.

Unfortunately, only few people around me share the same interest. I was never really able to find someone to chat about anime/manga. *sigh*
And that's the reason why I'm here on deviantArt: I want to make more friends with the same interest!!! I want to find someone who would really appreciate the "beauty" of Japanese anime/manga!!!!

I'm also here to share my art to the world.
I :heart: DRAWING!!!
