Doujin or Originals

Fri Jul 31, 2009, 4:48 AM

DISASTER!!!! DX The internet connection at home is horrible, because my dad just switched to a cheaper internet provider, and it's making it hard to stay online for a long period of time, and I'm missing my RO time because of that....I could hardly surf the web at home, let alone playing online games DX And I have to bear with that connection for at least one and a half more years.

Now that I've finished my ranting, I'll get to what I really want to say before my class is over.

I've just began my Game Art Design classes, yes, I'm going to start working my way towards my dream, a concept artist for a gaming company XD Although the lessons could be quite boring sometimes, I'm liking what I'm learning....so far. I hope that I'll have a chance to participate in game designing some time in the future, even though I really don't think Hong Kong have too much of that kind of job.

I've been thinking a lot lately, my friend and I have been drawing doujinshi for a long period of time already. At first, we really drew for interest, never making any profit in all the doujin cons we joined. But lately, we've started drawing some more popular animes, and we really started making money in doujin cons. That is a good thing. But I'm starting to get the feeling that my friend is now drawing some of the more popular animes because they could make more money.

At first, I followed her and draw those animes, who wouldn't want to make more money? But after a while, I really felt that I don't exactly enjoy drawing doujins that much. I mean, I like drawing them from time to time for fun or just out of boredom, but I really don't enjoy drawing them for just because they could make us more money. I really prefer making money out of original drawings, because it gives me a higher sense of satisfaction. But, originals really couldn't get too many people to notice them, especially with my average drawing skills.

So the question is, should I continue drawing doujins until my art is recognized (which may take a long time because I could never compete with some of the great artists who will be drawing the same thing), or should I just work on my original works and try to make a name with them?
