Makoto and Mikoto sure sound similar, huh?<\/p><\/div>\n

I was wandering the filth-ridden halls of danbooru when I came across an artist called “nekopuchi.” \u00a0I’m not very knowledgeable about artists and stuff, so nekopuchi may be some big hotshot on Pixiv…<\/p>\n

But damn, it’s so beautiful.<\/p>\n

The placement of her hands, the slight smile, the raised eyebrows. \u00a0Damn it, damn it. \u00a0Why aren’t there any artists out there who draw Mikoto this well? \u00a0Or Rin? \u00a0Or Yukko? \u00a0Or Eureka? \u00a0Damn it.<\/p>\n

I’ve found some similar quality (aka god-tier) pictures on the internet, but discovering this guy’s art<\/a> is a whole different experience. \u00a0Every single picture is incredible. \u00a0Usually when I find an artist I like, I look at their other pictures and I get disheartened by the huge variation in quality. \u00a0But with nekopuchi, I’ve saved just about all of his (her?) drawings, and I want to go throw my money at him out of gratitude.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I have never felt so amazed at art. \u00a0Wow. \u00a0Mefloraine tried for years to convey this feeling via her now-dead blog (and her tumblr dream thing), but I never really got it. \u00a0It’s just some stupid drawing of some stupid anime stupid girl. \u00a0I hate girls. \u00a0Why would I like your drawing of one?<\/p>\n

But now I realize my ignorance. \u00a0Look at that masterpiece above. \u00a0It radiates “cool” and “badass.” \u00a0And the first picture. \u00a0It just screams “look at me, I’m the ideal portrayal of love!!” \u00a0I don’t know much about warm and cool colors and shadowing and all sorts of weird art details, but this nekopuchi guy is obviously doing something<\/del> everything right for me to feel like this.<\/p>\n

I guess I am going to respect artists from now on\u00a0(not that I wasn’t before<\/a>).<\/p>\n
