Goodbye, Marilyn

Yes. I'm officially retiring from drawing Marilyn.

I really don't wanna lose interest in drawing her, but I'm afraid I have. As some of you might know, Marilyn was the first OC I drew on a regular basis when I first started using DA. I started drawing her during my freshman year of high school and I continued to draw and write stories revolving around her and the world she inhabits ever since. She was the breakthrough character that helped me come out of my shell and express my own ideas to the world. Had it not been for Marilyn, I would not be where I am today.

But, after drawing her for almost 7 years now, I don't think I really need to continue drawing Marilyn. I guess I don't really have any new stories to tell with her anymore. I've been hesitant about telling my viewers about retiring Marilyn for a long time now. It really pains me to straight-out say "No More Marilyn!" because she still holds a very special place in my heart. I just figured if I gradually stopped posting Marilyn pics altogether, it'd get the message across. However, since people continue to ask me if I'll draw more Marilyn pictures, I guess this is a better time than ever to tell you guys. I just can't meet up with the demand my viewers are asking of me.

I'm really sorry. I don't mean to disappoint people who've been waiting so long for more Marilyn drawings. For those who watch my DA profile exclusively for Marilyn drawings, feel free to unwatch.

If you wish to make fan art with Marilyn, then go right ahead! I don't mind as long as you credit me as her original creator. Plus, you're always free to check out Marilyn's artwork in my gallery and her fan club.

I'm not giving up on Marilyn altogether. I might do little tributes here and there, kinda like what I did with my "POP! Vinyl Figure Ideas" drawing.

Of course, I can't guarantee that I'll continue that trend. I don't like getting categorized for just one, specific theme or genre. I like to see variety in my work. It's time to move on.

I hope you can forgive me. :(
