The artist is doing this for over 5 years now, and that is only when public record of already good artworks started. It takes a lot of practice with sometimes progress not visible. But if you have fun creating art (and subtracted the times it gets frustrating) then you should never stop do so; you can only improve.

    Oh dear -- I just looked it up because I didn't want to talk completely out of my ass and I just learned it originated on 4chan as a bit of a derogatory term. Somehow the racist overtones never really sunk in, I'd just heard it once or twice to refer to written Japanese and thought it sounded funny.

    Forgive me for being close to "that guy" but since I'm learning moon runes I thought I'd offer a rough translation. (°々°)More an opportunity for me to practice so take it for all the pennies it's worth.

    I think translated literally it would be "where are you looking?", and assuming that's the case, a more natural translation would probably be "What are you looking at?"
