untilted dot lol blog (dotart.blog's version)

I admittedly don't have anything new to share this month in terms of words and major updates, other than this: I create artwork that speaks to a wide range of people without caring too much about demographics.

Like everyone else, I like things based on certain styles that appeal to me.

In the past, I have stated that my purpose in starting the comic strip Untilted was to capture the experience of being - not just feeling - mostly alone.

Let me start off by saying this: I create work and express ideas that I believe should stand on their own merits without relying on networking, trends, or the whims of a fickle audience or a handpicked group of elite critics or judges.

I have not had a sale for the first few months since I set up shop, but this time I can take some responsibility for that, because I was initially not very clear about what I could provide to the audience besides my art and my update posts.

I know I went a full month without posting anything new or worthwhile on the untilted dot lol blog.

I still remember holding a pencil in my hand during class, not just to work on assignments or group projects, but also to secretly scribble pictures of characters with huge eyes and exaggerated proportions.

Over an extended period of introspection, I have come to recognize that my aptitude for producing large-scale artworks is, in reality, far more limited than I had long presumed.

(note: Blog* = the untilted dot lol blog at this website) I have implemented a kind of experimental code for my new blog.

Most works of fiction follow predictable patterns, tropes, and clichés in the name of convention, audience comfort, nostalgia, or the like.
