Before I start, I wanna thank the people who took the time to answer the mini-survey in my last entry. Because although I still fail to achieve my quota (but at least the lecturer ain't yelling at me for it), the feedback I got from here on DA as well as elsewhere is quite useful and is able to serve its purpose, no matter how few/small the feedback I had. So I am grateful for your help, and once again, Thank You, guys

Now...about this entry.

...in 3 years' time, with the last pageview at 3303...

...it's good to see my drawings skills improved a bit (yes, a bit) and my PS skills become better with each draw.

But I'm still unmotivated Because I'm not satisfied.

I daren't attempt fan-arts for a while before for fear of butchering those beloved characters (after seeing the first attempts in the past):

But because I loved drawing too much, and out of love, respect and admiration for those great games/anime/manga, I ain't giving up on trying to do fanart after this one super-long drought. What was the last time I ever did a fanart?...

That was like...3 whole long years ago.



Seeing it ended with Sparda and the road begins anew with that DMC meme (which I really took my time, working in-between assignments, and halfway even got frustrated because I ended up butchering Dante/Vergil/Sparda/even Mysso, at one point - I'm amazed that I even managed to finish it), I think I'll start upon the road once more...with a bit more confidence

My next piece, shall be my next tribute to His Lordship Sparda

...at least, I hope it shall be. Ever since the loss of some great DMC artists out there (one notable example being ~Divine-Star, I actually felt sad to watch her go), DA seems to kinda lack any good DMC fanarts of late. One or two good 'uns springs up once in a blue moon, like this one:
[link] or even this one [link]

But otherwise...nada. Zilch.
So someone...has to continue the good fight.

In a gist...aside from the whole Dante-Nero mess (Nero basically stole more than half of the DMC limelight already, I wonder what Kamiya-sensei's gonna think), IMHO, I think the rest of the family deserves 'summore .

Vergil...no matter how corrupted you get, and no matter how much you wanted to destroy people and the world, you're still a Son of Sparda, and I'll still love you for who you are - being one of the coolest katana-wielding Dark Slayer and kick-ass anti-hero around.

Lady Eva...despite the few appearances, your presence (or absence?...) serves the most importance in the DMC universe, for you bring the entire Sparda family together, and for that I truly admire and respect you. (Trish can NEVER be your replacement.)

Lastly...His Lordship Sparda. The Legendary Dark Knight, the ONLY Dark Knight I shall acknowledged (sorry, Christian Bale/Batman, His Lordship Sparda existed earlier for me than you), the one whose legendary feats and equally legendary history are the ones holding the DMC universe/legacy together......it would be an honour to serve you.


....there. My rant at 5am in the bleedin' morning's done. I know I NEED sleep, and I'll probably fix this mess later on when I'm more sane/awake. Sorry for disturbing the peace. Amen.
