  • @RBIVscreamtherequiem You seem incredibly offended. I was being honest nothing more. Yet, I never claimed art is meaningless, the world would be sorely deprived if we didn't have art. That being said, you attributed sword-making to the grand likes of Van Gough, Dali, and Da Vinci. Is that really wise? Art is subjective, thus what is considered to be an art form is also interpretative to each person. It's unbecoming to put words in people's mouth my good sir.

  • @TheGodGhost Ö I wanna be rich later in life too. :/

  • @MrRain458 :D That's not true. ^^

  • @Eyeslayer I'm sure that he has a reputation and doen't need the internet... Can you imagine all those hardcore Japanese fans that would pay a tonne to own that? Or business men looking for super expensive presents/wall pieces? :/ Lately I've been more convinced that an artist's life isn't as rough as I'd imagined... Maybe you can set up a stall at fantasy conventions and hand out some flyers...

  • Such a beautiful process.

  • @JesusPaid4You
